scenes of the reported rich strikes say
the showings Of the new discoveries
indicate that the story Of Bisbee in
her palmiest days will be repeated.
Ledges of copper ore crop to the
surface in number of places and are
in many instances two feet wide at the
narrowest points The formation of
the copper ore on many of the proper
ties located there within the past ten
days is iron Gaping and goslanite on
one side and black lime and schist on
the other. The dikes of many of the
properties are said to be valuable for
1000 feet and more.
Among the mining men who have re-
Gently visited In the districts described
in the vicinity of Greenwater Is Harry
Lefkovits, well known mining man
of Nevada, who is at present a guest
at the Hotel Alexandria. Mr.. Lefko-
Wits declares that Greenwater is des-
tined to become one of the greatest
copper camps In the country, and that
within the next sixty days a great rush
will be made to the place.
Future Is Assured
"There is no question about Green
water as a future great copper camp"
said Mr.. Lefkovits when seen at the
Hotel Alexandria. cit has been due
wholly to the fact that water and pro-
visions have been scarce in Greenwater

"A store was recently opened in
Greenwater and provision has been
made for ample water supplies. 1t is
my opinion that within the next sixty
days there will be a great rush to the
Greenwater district. There will be all
kinds of mining to demonstrate wheth-
er the big copper lodges go down.
"W. A. Clark and Charles M. Schwab
recently bonded one of the properties
at Greenwater known as the Koonze
property, for $350.000. Two shafts are
down about forty feet each and both
in copper. Copper glance taken from
this property gives assay returns of
20 per cent,
"F August Heinze of Butte, Mont,
owns considerable property adjoining
the Clark POSSESSIONS. About fifty feet
from the surface fine ledge of copper
ore has been uncovered.
PATSY Clark of Furnace Creek Cop
per company has recently sunk shaft
some 200 feet, all of which is In copper
ore ranging from IL per cent to 30 per
cent. Several mining engineers and
assayers say that this property has

to Rhyolite for provisions, Judge Nc
Thune was overcome with heat and
died. His remains were found two
months later. 1t was known that
Judge McThune had made a big strike
and H. Knight and Neal McLarin of
Tonopah grubstaked two prospectors
who recently relocated Judge Nc
Thune's original claims"
Two. weeks ago Mr.. Lefkovits left
Los Angeles, accompanied by Major
Off of the Off -McGarvin- Brown COM
pany The two went to -Greenwater
and located several claims, among
which are the Copper Cliff group, COW
ering more than $50 acres, says Mr..
Lefkovits, and showing fine copper ore
in at least ten places.
Locate Lost Mine
The May Queen group of claims,
numbering fifteen, with big block of
stock, were purchased outright by Mr..
Lefkovits and Major Off. for $50. 900.
M. ]. Messer formerly owned this prop
erty. Mr.. Messer has been prospecting
in Death valley for the past two years
and has located some of the best min
ing claims in the district.
While Mr.. Lefkovits and Major Off
were in Rhyolite, EN- route to Green
water, they met A. D. Nash, f. Wal
lace Malcolm l.. Mcdonald and Don
Gillis, all of whom are representatives
of Charles M. Schwab. A few hours
previous to Mr.. Lefkovits' departure
for Los Angeles the Schwab men re-
turned to Greenwater for a second
visit.
Mr.. Lefkovits' present mission to Los
Angeles is to purchase mining supplies
and provisions. These, he stated, would
be sent to Nevada Immediately and
work of development of his properties
started at once
Searchlight Flashes
During the past week thirteen freight
loads of machinery arrived at Search
light for the different mines, and many
hoists will soon be in active operation
hauling and hoisting ore.
The property of the Duplex Extension
Mining company has been surveyed for
patents and the papers have been al
ready filed Development work upon
the vast holdings of this company will
be in charge of w. w Hurt, one of the
ablest mining engineers in the United
States. Mr.. Hurt has operated in
Europe, South Africa, Australia and in
Montana.
The Searchlight Mutual, a San Ber-
nardino company has purchased the
Confidence claims from A. L. Heydloff
and A. H. Smith. The management
state that, following up recent strike
made on the Confidence, they are now
mining ore that runs over $40 in gold
per ton
Edward Carleson of the wyoming
Searchlight has returned from trip to
Salt Lake City, where he perfected the
organization of his company and Sc
cured sufficient capital to proceed with
the active development of the proper
ty. The shaft is now down 200 feet on
a strong ledge pitching at an angle of
about 45 degrees.
From the 10O-foot level the Cyrus
Noble extension is drifting north and
south on a vein of decomposed por-
phyry about three feet thick and car
rying good values in gold and silver
This is the second vein encountered
in sinking the shaft The first was
about fifty feet from the surface and
ten feet thick, and there is another on
the footwall for which oross-cutting
will be started when the drifts are in
fifty feet from the shaft. The richest
ore is found on the footwall
