to the northwest, there rises high above

Many Good Mining Men.
Greenwater now has mining men
from everywhere. Butte, Mont. has it's
share. Patsy Clark and the force who
are with him are nearly all from Butte.
The Furnace Creek Extension. with
Harry league as superintendent is of
Butte also, and so is John Nance, who
preSideS over the positive certainty of
the Butte Furnace Range, one of the
promising copper prospects adjoining
those other Clark properties which
have made GTeenwater famous.
The camp has some of the best min
ing men within its boundaries there
are in the world. Many of them have
graduated from the big copper mines
of the earth, both theoretically and
practically. Among these may. be men
toned Malcolm Smith of the Schwab

Furnace Range, Jim Casey of the Clark

GreenWater has outgrOWn its swad-

to the townsite of Ramsey, mile and

was known as the Ramsey townsite and

New Town Metropolitan.
The new town is to be built to the |
proportions of city. 1t is plated and /
planned along metropolitan lines, and |
the Schwabs, Brooks, Gillises, Mac I
donalds. together with Mr.. Salisbury, |
are going to build business blocks and /
make of it the copper city of the des- !
ert. A telegraph line is already estab- /
Iished. The rate is 10 cents a word |
straight, high, but very convenient; a 4
bank, with such financiers as Senator |
Dixon, NJ. L. Mcdonald and Don ellis |
as directors; hotels, eating houses and 1
a CITY of canvas that will In a short !
time be replaced by more substantial |
structures.
Mr.. Brock, the Tonopah railroad |
man, is pushing his road toward the |
new town. and so is the Borax road |
and that of Senator Clark of Montana /
IT is believed that Senator Clark will /
have his road at the foot of the wash /
in the vicinity of the Lila c. mine with

guire has been over the ground an6 has |
outlined the line of survey, and engi- ,

There are three towns in the Green
water district now, the new town of |
Greenvater. the old town and Furnace i
which nestles about mile north in the |
valley below the now far-famed Fur
mace Green copper mines. 1t liz believed 4
that i'm time there will be but two |
towns. Clearwater and the Clark town
site IF Furnace. Both are situated in /
localities tributary TO the mines, and II /
will be a pretty rivalry between |
friends and ueighbOrs to see which will |
outgrow the other Thus far the town |
of Greenwater has far the lead but |
Furnace has only crept upon the map.
