REPORTED RAMSEY DEALS
Transactions Which Show That
Something is Doing in New
Lyon County Camp.

they all go through, it means that
Ramsey has benefited to the ex-
tent of nearly $4,000.
The first of Importance is the
only one yet hanging fire, the re-
ported sale by the Ramsey Com
stock Company of the Clark bo-
nanza to the Bingham Con. people
of. Salt Lake.
1t is reported that company
has taken an option on the Ram
sey Comstock for control of the
stock, consideration $25o,ooo, the
basis, 100000 for the mine. The
present owners have developed it
with a 6o-foot shaft and a 3o-foot
crosscut, the latter still in the big
ledge with no sign of the wall on
either side.
The biggest sale, and the one of
the most Importance to the camp,
is that of the Walkover mine to
the Nevada Hills Co. of Fairview,
represented by Murdock, the COM
pany's expert. This means tre-
mendous onward movement in the
district. The Walkover claim was
owned by M. N. McGlynn and is
about a mile southeast of Ramsey
Comstock ground.
The claim has great surface
showings, and the tests made to
determine the mines value from
an assay standpoint, were SO high
ly satisfactory that the deal was
closed at once. The sum could
not be learned, but it is known to
have been a goodly one.
Associated with Murdoch are
some of Nevada's most successful
and best known mining men: w.
H. Webber, general manager of
the mines; ]. R. Davis, ]. P. Lof-
tus, w. H. Clark, w. V. Rice, Jas.
Farrell, ]. T. Hodson and several
others. These people have done
wonderful things for the Fairview
district; have spent lots of money
and also made lots of it. Too
much cannot be said of their good
work out there.
This additional new company to
enter Ramsey district is composed
men who are identified with some
of the biggest and best mines in
Nevada and the fact of their hav-
ing commenced operations here is
an assurance of some great devel-
opment and the opening of ground
of high value. Their advent here
means the expenditure of a great
sum of money and the further
prosperity of the camp. Murdock
left for Fairview to complete the
preliminaries, and in a few days
another big company will be en-
gagged in the operation of big
mine.
The third sale to be reported is
that of the San Juan mine, owned
by McGovern, Fitzgerald and Re-
gan. This mine is one of the big
gest undeveloped properties in the
district and will be opened up at
once.
H. w. Knickerbocker is the
agent of the fourth sale, that of
the Majestic, Lone Jack and Jack
Pot claims, which lie about four
miles east of here, to Robinson and
Reynolds.
A thirty-foot ledge can be fol-
lowed for over 10000 feet and in
the shaft a solid body of ore un-
covered with no hanging wall in
sight. At distance of about 700
feet from the shaft an immense
outcrop juts out for $50 feet. Nu-
merous mornings and assays have
been made and the values shown
has assured the owners that this
property will be great bullion
producer.
The owners have concluded that
Knickerbocke shall he the name
for this lately developed district.
A company is being incorporated
and will be known as the Ramsey
No. 3 Mining Company. Every
assurance is given that develop
