A coNoUERoR OF THESE
VAST ARID WASTES

Senator w. A. Clark was in the We
gas last Thursday. He came from a
trip of inspection of the mining camps
of Tonopah. Goldfield and the Bull
frog country. into which he Is running
branch of his railroad. The senator
roughed 1t from the word go" for
that is the way he first gained his
start In the early days OF Montana.
He visited all of the big mines and
made a personal examination of them
himself. and II is known fact that
he is one OF the best mining experts
in the world. The senator pronounced
the Montgomery -Shoshone a wonder

promising He was met at the Vegas

who helped him to build IT, The SEN
ator left the same evening for Cali
ente in his private car. the most gor-
gecus and finest in the world, where
he went over his proposed line which
he intends building TO Phoebe. He had
nothing further to say as to building
ii other than that he was on his way
to make personal examination of
the mines and to consult with mining
men then he would be better pre-
pared to say whether he would build
or not.
While in Phoebe he was the guest
of f. w Dickel of the Cecil hotel On
his return to Caliente the senator
made other mine examinations along
the line. and arrived in Salt Lake re-
freshed from the pleasant trip and the
pleasures he had enjoyed while on the
tour of examination.
II is very peculiar about Senator
Clark that he devotes his time to
looking after his own interests. and
what worldly possessions he has ac-
qnired have been built up by his own
personal efforts.

COMING TO THE FRONT.
Mine Owner Osborne Making Rec
ord That Fairly HUNS.

Old Tecoopah camp. on the Amara-
gosa, is again to the front with its
large lead-silver mines. which of old
were the center OF mining work in
the Resting Springs district. Begin
ming some thirty years ago. 1t was one
of the early boom camps of the des-
ert. At that time Mr.. Osborne. the
veteran silver miner, erected a water
jacket furnace in the camp. which. OF
course, went the way of sll other such
industries on the desert. only to be
revived by modern railway extensions.
Borax Smiths railway now passes
within six miles of the Tecopah mines,
putting them in direct future contact
with Tonopah and Goldfield. with
their dry ores all hungering for the
fat lead product of Resting Springs
district.
The most recent deal in the district
is the bonding of all of Mr.. Osborne's S
holdings by Philadelphia people con-
nected with the Philadelphia Tonopah
mining interests. which means that
Tonopah ores will shortly find a
smelling outlet independent of trusts.
Thus does our southern Nevada min

Every person present had his say
