FOHOW the IdlHOa0 II you WOulu
reach the land of prosperity. Big cor
porations have scented the fleshpots
of the Nevada mining districts and are
racing each other across the desert
for the enormous traffic offered them.
Several years ago construction was
commenced on line Of road from Cali
ente to Phoebe, but for some reason
the project was abandoned and it re-
manned for the San Pedro, Los Angeles
and Salt Lake people to see the future
of such an enterprise and take UP the
matter where 1t had been left off. The
work of surveying and grading is now
under progress and will be promptly
followed by the laying of rails. The
completion of the road is looked for in
the near future.
Under the direction of the Search
light Light and Power company a
corps of engineers are pushing the work
of surveying the Searchlight Streets
followed by workmen digging post holes
and making all necessary preparations
for installing the new electric light
and power plant. The work will be
completed not later than September 1.
With reference to mining proper
Searchlight has long since turned night
into day and the electric light plant
the railroad and other important fac
tors of progress come as a natural
sequence to the steady and healthy
growth of the Camp Without a Fail
ure."
An unusually rich body of ore has
been opened up by the New Years Gift
shaft of the Duplex mine. While the
superintendent will not divulge the as
say figures he states that it is shipping
ore from top to bottom and will be
blocked out by an extensive system of
drifting and prosecuting as fast as
the large force of men employed can
do the work.
The Eagle Group
Speculation has been rife in Search
light and Ell Dorado for the past few
days as to the mission of Thomas E.
Gahagan, the celebrated mining engi-
neer, who has been for several days
secretly engaged in Ell Dorado.
1t is learned that a marvellous strike
of exceedingly rich sulphide ore has
been made in the Eagle group in Ell
Dorado canyon, and is the cause of Mr..
Gahagan's visit. 1t is understood that
the project was abandoned, and it re-
perted by MIR. Gahagan and has been
found to be in fact real bonanza, and
that the capitalists in whose employ
this engineer is working have succeeded
i'm consummating the purchase of the
entire group, and will at once proceed
with thorough and active development.
Notwithstanding the efforts to keep
the matter quiet, it is definitely known
through reliable sources that the as
says from the sampling made by Mr.
Gahagan show enormous values. and
the ledges are strong, well defined fis-
sures. Backed by the heavy financial
interests represented by Walter G.. Cox
of Los Angeles and associates, this
property will be opened up in thor
ough manner and the operations will
mark new era in the productions of
FL Dorado canyon, which has long been
known and recognized as one of the
great mining districts of Southern Ne
vada.
The Capitol group of mines, owned by
& Murphy, has been bonded
to G. F. Cotton, who, with his asso-
ciates, will Immediately begin active
development of the property.
The Philadelphia group at Mob Hill |
has been bonded by the owners to Wis |
ner, Ward & Co., New York capitalists, |
for sis. 900, which is another iIlustra-
tion of the confidence eastern capital |
has in the future of the district.
