The latchstring to their tent or cabin
is always on the outside and the
weary prospector is always welcome
to share with them the best in camp.

Last Saturday evening we started
on horseback to accept the long-stand-

him at his camp in Sacramento can
yon. Mr.. Sims is general manager of
the Lone Mountain Gold Mining Com
pany, whose general Office is Carthage,
N. Y, and is mining man and min
eralgist of long experience. After
several months spent in prospecting
the Hills adjacent to Lovelock, Mr.
Sims decided that a large dyke of
quartzite, from the surface of which
he got many good paintings of gold,
was the best ground for his company
to start operations on. Here he To-
Gated FIVE full claims and two water
rights, making ITO acres in all.
MIR. Sims company have started in
to Systematically and thoroughly de-
velop this ground. They are sinking
a Axe development shaft, expecting
to go to depth of fifty feet and then
cross-cut on the ledge to the contact.
While going over the claims with Mr..
Sims we took samples from different
groupings with US into camp and pam
ned them out, getting many good
strings of colors.
So far they are working but one
shift of men, and are down only about
fifteen feet in the shat. The rock is

Next week another shift of two more
miners will be added to the force,
when better progress will be made.
Frank Crumpacker has charge of the
work at the mine; Messrs. Ellison and
Anderson are the miners, while a Mr..
Merridith is cook and chief enter tain
er. Having been sailor before the
mast, this young man tells many in
teresting tales of his travels, to the
boys assembled about the campfire at
night.

the summit this summer, many have
made locations on the summit and
down through Sacramento canyon.
Among the most faithful of these lo-
Gators was l.. M. Piper, who has done
the State work on two very promising
claims, one he holds himself and one
in which he is interested with Frank
Crumpacker. Messrs. 0. 7. Owens
and Walter Davis hold several claims.
upon which they have Rol Peterman
at work. Mr.. Mckinney is camped

trip.
At the time of the early-day Spring
Valley rush quite few drifted over
into Sacramento canyon and some
