New Town

Geo. B. Seeman returned Tuesday
night from the new town of Blair
and says there is the greatest ac-
tivity at that place he has ever e
On the day of his arrival owe fifty
people came in and a like number is
arriving daily. On the same day
one restaurant served meals to over
seventy people. The townsite COM
pany has erected a fine Office struc-
ture and other buildings are going
up rapidly. If the ideas of the
builders are carried out the build
ing in the new town will be far
superior to any other in Esmeralda
County. There is a good supply of
water at the place; development
work is going ON in the mines, and
everything points to a lively cam
in the near future.

A Mystery Solved.

Peculiar noises emenating from
the office of the O'Meara-Lynch Com
pany on Summit street last night
caused a general exodus of the
neighborhood in wild alarm. Paus-
ing on the street corner the alright
ed citizens were in doubt as to call
the local fire department or sum
mon the police. Indescribable
sounds pierced the night air as
though some unfortunate being was
suffering the tortures of the ON
demned. After a hurried consulta-
tion a posse OF brave men was form
ed and by strategy and stealth ae-
cess to the building was gained, and
perched upon a stool was Douglas
Swan Jr., scratching on a fiddle the
heartrendering notes that had dis
turbed the rest of the fair denizens
of Tonopah. The mystery was at
last solved.

Situated in the Bellehelen mining
district and on the mother lode of
the Kawich range is the Henry
group Of t%went%-one claims, one Of
the best properties yet found in this
district.
On the group fully thirty-five well
defined Lodges have been uncovered
and all assay from $3.50 t. $612.55
to the ton.
One ledge, ethe main one, is So
feet wide and shows an average of
$26.65 to the ton on the surface.
This ledge can be traced for fully
half a mile and in places specimens
have been pulled off that show free
gold and horn silver.
Below the mines is a natural
townsite, and Just above is a basin
that drains three different CANYONS,
the outlet is in solid rock three feet
wide at the bottom, and at the top
(about forty feet high about thirty
feet wide which makes a natural
reservoir that has a capacity of
storing millions and millions of gal
Ions of water.
Captain Henry. the original loca-
tor, leaves today and viii establish
a winter camp Immediately.
Three men are at present doing
the assessment work, and the Cap
tain believes that inside OF thirty
days he viii be shipping rock that
cannot be equalled in the State Of
Nevada.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO BE
SETTLED.

Much interest is being displayed
in the outcome of the suit now
pending before the Nevada Supreme
Court.
The question at issue is whether
or not a Deputy Mineral Surveyor
may locate and operate a mining
claim. The suit has arisen out of
the action of J.. r. Cooke, a Deputy
Mineral Surveyor, in relocating prop
erty in Lincoln County in which he
together with A. j. McCune and
others were interested.
Through failure to perform the
necessary assessment work the
rights of the original locators ran
out and Cooke while holding a com
mission a smineral surveyor, relo-
Gated the ground. His former assoc
ciates relocated over him and re-
sisted his attempts to enter the
ground.

KnMich Railrnnd.

Surveying is still being carried on
in the Kawich district. for what is
understood TO be, a railroad to con-
meet Austin with either Goldfeld or
Tonopah. This country is supposed
to be very rich in minerals and the
operation of a railroad would aid
greatly in the development of the
country. Who are back of the sup
posed railroad is not definitely
known, although it is reported that
the same men, who are back Of the
Tonopah and Goldfield line. headed
by John Brock, will control the new
line. 1t is further stated that the
new line will be run entirely sepa-
rate from the Tonopah road.

Cinnnhnr Mines IN We.

The Cinnabar country, three miles
northeast Of Berlin and about the
same distance southeast of lone. is
showing up in a very promising fash
ion 1t is what used to be called
the Union Mining District in the old
silver days. and it is believed that
this name will be retained, Messrs.
Davis and Workman have some very
valuable cinnabar property in that
section, and a strong force of men
are now at work upon 1t. Their
ground is ~traversed by a number Of
strong, broad, well defined lodges

white Mountains

w INV
The White Mountain range is a
narrow uplift rising out Of the bed
of the Great Basin, in which sur
nrising discoveries of gold and cop
per have recently been made. To
nopah. Goldfeld, Bullfrog, Manhat-
ran and Greenvater are but the be-
ginning the unbolting of the door
TO innumerable treasures in the
American Desert.
The White Mountains, about 100
miles in length. extend along the
western side of the Basin, paralleling
On the east, the Sierra Nevada.
From Mount Whitney's peak, apex
ing the Sierra Nevada, and the high
est point in the United States, you
can look eastward across the White
Mountains and distinctly see the rim
Of Death Valley the lowest area of
dry land in the United States. The
parched bed of this valley is about
400 feet below sea level. Mount
Whitney and Death Valley are both
in Inyo County, California.
The White Mountain range runs
from Esmeralda County, Nevada,
%southerly into Inyo County, Califor-
MIA, where it terminates. In this
southern end lies the Cerro Gordo
mines with a record bullion product
Of over $12OOO,O00.
This range is one of the several
uplifts which form the general sys-
tenn OF mountains traversing the
wonderful desert basin. It is in
tersected throughout its entire
length Of 100 miles by road, ap-
proximately parallel, mineralized
zoness some carrying chiefly gold,
others copper and others |argentifer-
Gus galena. and the whole presents
a most inviting field for the geolo-
gists, mineraloglats and miners.
Mexicans Ware here in the sos
and COS. Remains Of their crude
shelters and primitive arastras are
found at various points in the gulch-
es and canyons; but they were sur
face miners only, and the Indians

plies hundreds OF miles distant.
That they erected works and did
their shallow mining under such
difficulties are roofs that values lie
in the White Mountains awaiting
methods Of modern miners under ia
vorable conditions. Streams in the
nearby Sierras can supply power,
A railroad now runs along the west
ern base OF tn range and a fertile
valley lies at its feet.
Prospective mines : numerous
throughout this main uplitt and its
spurs and in She adjacent, lesser
ranges. To describe them would re-
quire volumes.
Recent Developments have opened
up two splendid gold mines at the
Southern Belle group, and very late
workings, now IN progress, promise
equally good results at the Black
Canyon group. Both these proper
ties lie al little distance apart in the
western slope of the White Noun
tains in what Is locally known as the
cold Zone."-Erank Drake.

Reports have been received of the
bonding of copper properties in Sa-

Tonopah people are the other parties
in the transaction and it is said they
hay made n cash payment Of S6o00.
Things are looking very good in the
Saline country, and the deal may be
but a harbinger of even greater re-
suits to be obtained in the next few
months.
