! great. The result today is 2 demon
sJratiOn of permanency and prosperity

/ district.
Schwab Gets Into Field.
! 1t was at this time that the startling
/ riches Of copper became known to Mr..
/ Schwab. Malcolm Macdonald and Don
| ellis, the latter two OF the best copper
mining experts the west has known.
They We're at this time engaged in TAX
ing in all of the big mines of the Bull
frog country for the Iron Master. and
they were not slow to determine that
delay was dangerous when the news
was learned that Charles NJ. Schwab
had landed right in the midst of the
Greenwater copper country and had
taken over the richest and best show
| inSs thus exposed.
Others We're not slow TO follow. Ed
Donnelly was in Rhyolite, and he heard
Of Greenwater and soon was at the head
of a company nearly the equal of the
Schwab interest. He is an old miner.
He has never been known to bring up
the rear end of a stampede into a new
mining district. Nash & Wallace of To-
nopah knew him, and they sent him to
the front, and he soon gathered in some
of the finest claims into several crops.
Ed Donnelly gained for himself Tepu-
tation for cleverness, with the result
that today he is visiting in foreign
climes at the expense of his company
for having done his duty well. In his
absence his position has been occupied
and the success continued by Ralph
Sweet, n Boulder. Mont, boy, and
those mines are all getting richer and
richer as depth is being gained.
Whole Country Located.
Now that the copper possibilities
have been assured and the district pro-
nounced permanent there is hardly a
vacant piece Of ground within eleven
miles Of the town Of Greenwatcr but
that has been staked, and boundaries
defined in such manner that there is
not the least shadow for dispute. a
great many of the better showfngs in
the district belong to poor miners. They
know their value and they stick with
them. A mine in the Greenwater dis
trict cannot be bought for song, and
1t is a well known fact all over the
country that there are more barefoot
ed millionaires in Greenwater than else
where in either of the hemisphcres.
But a few short months ago all along
this desert there was wide exparSe OF
waste. Not even a. tent dotted a single
spot. Once in while a burroman with
his steed could be seen vending his way
here and there. Soon the camp began
to grow. First tepee, then came the
tent, and with il partial civilization.
and on this Christmas morning away
down on the borders of Death valley,
within the confines of what was con-
sidered the impenetrable fastness of
Funeral Range, is springing into reali-
ty one of the greatest copper produc-
countries yet discovered by man.
An Inspiring View.
West of the Funeral Creek properties
and within very short distance OF the
pinnacle of some high mountain can
be seen one of the grandest sights ever
witnessed. From a horizontal distance
of but a short quarter of a mile Won
can drop from a perpendicular height
of on er $3.50 feet $50 feet below sea
level, right into Death valley. There is
not another such sight for man to be-
hold, put as you gaze away off to depth
below the mind IS thrilled with the
grandeur and beauty of the scenes. The
vivid colors of. the rainbow are not to
be compared to the scintilating colors
which greet the eye. The maker OF
creation never planned with more ex-
quisite care than he did when he laid
lava and value in erruDtiye formation
as magnificent as the mind can picture
in its most gorgeous and bespangled
dream.
Again, from the eminence on which
you stand, looking down into the depths
of Death valley, you are looking into
