WHITE PINE COUNTY.

White Pine county is wonder
fully rich in undeveloped posi-
bilites. The mines are exceed
ingly promising. The pioneers
who came here in 1869, suffer
ed untold hardships and many
of them left disappointed. But
they we're too early by about 40
years to have their expectation
realized. Conditions at that
early day were not such as to en-
able the development Of proper
ties. Science had not solved
many problems that have since
been solved. Following the
White Pine excitement of 1868
and 80 came the demonstration
of silver and the people then
had nothing to do but move on
to other fields and await the
coming of a better day. The
pioneers of the late SOS knew
then as we'll as now that our hills
were heavy mineralized. but as
We said above conditions were
not conducive to the full devel.
opment of the county's resources.
Things are different now Capt.
tai has at last recognized the
values to be taken from the
bowels of White Pines noun
tains and have taken hold in ear
nest to make the hills open up
their treasure vaults to the
world. The greatest scene Of
activity is at present in and
around Ely, but it will extend
to every nook and corner of the
county before another year goes
down III history. The Nevada
Consolidated and Giroux proper
ties are rich beyond computation
and all that is necessary to make
these properties valuable to
the world is a little patience,
backed by energy and that
energy backed by money for
smelters and for development.
But that is by no means all, for
there are other camps equally as
rich as is Robinson district. This
is true of Cherry Creek, of
Treasure Hill, of Duck Creek, of
Ward, of Taylor district, of
Ruby Hill, and of Hamilton dis
tricts and the mines on the east
side of the Egan range of noun
tains, bordering on Spring Val
ley are equally valuable and a
few months will prove them so
with intelligent work.
Still this is not all for White
Pine county has scarcely been
touched yet. The most of her
territory may yet be truthfully
called virgin ground. Her live
stock interests are not to be
slightly treated, for she sends to
the SHAMELESS every fall the
juicest of beef and the sweetest
of mutton. Her area of farm
ing lands is very valuable as

GoIdfleld Is Booming.

TIE fact that Goldfeld is booming
cannot be denied or ignored. Its
present production OF a million-dollar
load of ore from the Hayes-Monnett
lease is attracting wide atten-
ton, and the recent scheme launched
ia Goldfeld to place the shipment in
a special car and send it all over the
United States is likely to be realized,
The plan is to place the ore i'll a Car

Sparks and other well-kuown and

tegrity in this state to certify to the
value of the a and its contents in

States with mining men, a newspaper

R~oundhonse Burned.

The seven stall roundhouse at Win
nemucca, was burned to the ground
early Monday morning, causing a loss
to the Southern Pacific Of several
hundred dollars. The building was
almost consumed by flames before the
workmen at the house discovered the
fire. All their efforts to save the
place from destruction on the part of
the residents of the town were futile.
The place burned at CLIO q. IN.
Since the roundhouse has been de-
stroyed at Winnemucca it is probable
now that the change of the division
point to Inlay will be made. The
change has been discussed for a num-
Der of months, but the Southern Po-
cific has delayed action.

Mining At Old Bullion.
Rome Of Reliance and Gold Quartz
Properties Coming to the
Front.

G. G. Wylie of the Reliance Mining
& Milling company, operating in the
old Bullion district, Lander county,
Nevada, has just returned from camp
with handsome samples of high grade
ore from bis company's property. The
incline shaft, he says, is now down a
distance of ITO feet and the true fis-
sure gives every evidence of perman-
ency and strength. There has been
followed down about three and one
half feet OF ore in which copper pre-
dominates and which, with the gold
and silver 10 carries, has been averag-
ing in value about $75 per ION. Ore
is now coming out that is worth $145
a ton and theincreased value is large
ly accounted for in the metallic form
of the metals, shown in the late
samples.
WHERE PROPERTY LIES.
The Reliance property is located
directly north of the Gold Quartz,
which has been shipping to this
market and San Francisco for more
than a year past. The shaft on the
latter is down Ito feet and drifting is
under way. 1t is figured that about
forty feet more will carry the face of
the drift into ore that was developed
above. During the time that this
work is going on the company is not
attempting to mine on the upper
level. A car of ore was marketed
here the other day, however, the rock
having come from the dump, where it
had lain since the first discovery on
the property. 1t was second-class and
Melted the company about $40 a ton.
TOWN or FIFTY TENTS.
The town of Tenabo, Mr.. Wylie
says, new boasts about fifty tents and
frame buildings and, Notwithstanding
the fact that all water used has to be
hauled. 1t is growing all the time.
About three miles northwest of Ten
abo is the newer town of Lander.
There is between seventy-fve and 100
people there. The Reliance company
however, owns the only real good
townsite, which is located on the
creek and which will, by and by, be
opened to the public. When it is Mr..
Wylie believes it will become the real
town of that region.
The camp is well represented by
Colorado and Goldfeld men and a
great deal Of work is being done. The
mineral zone is II big and strong one
and the best posted mining men and
operators begin to realize that it is
destined to become one of the biggest
and best districts in the state.-Salt
