LETTER FROM
JOHNNIE CAMP

Johnnie. New, Oct. 27.-The cry
is being raised in Johnnie as every
where else in Southern Nevada,
Miners are Scarce" Every good
miner who has struck camp within
the last two weeks has Immediately
been set to work, but still the de-
mands far exceeds the supply. Most
of the men here have been working
steadily all summer and have accum-
ulated enough money to go pros
pecting The success that has att
tended their efforts has set others
going and so there is dearth of
laborers. 1t is conseryatively esti-
mated that about $4,000 will be ex-
pended in assessment work before
the year is ended and though the
money is at hand the men are not
to be obtained to do the work.
Many of the companies have sent to
neighboring camps for men, but
everywhere the same complaint is
heard, mot enough men here to do
the work. Perhaps nothing so IL
lustrates the prosperity of Nevada
as this lack of miners.
The Belmont-Johnnie is the latest
company to commence operations.
A shaft is being ,nF or the White
Car claim and tunnel is being
driven on the Wellington claim. The
shaft is being sunk on ledge that
lies fiat and is broken yellow
quartz with lime for the footwall
and has calcerous shale on the vein.
The tunnel is being driven to an
east and west leige aver aging five
feet in width, assaying $S. The
company owns ten claims joining the
Bullfrog-Johnnie on the west and
Leadville-Johnnie on the southeast.
In the Johnnie Con. two shifts are
at work on the main shaft from the
300 level to the surface. On the
700 level a north and south crosscut
is being dug exposing a fivefoo
vein that averages $20 On the 500
level the south cfosscut shows in the
face ten feet of ore, three and a half
of which goes better than $500,
while the whole ledge averages $35.
In the north drift the formation is
turning very fiat and the full width
of the vein has not yet been de-
termined m
In the Globe-Johnnie lower tunnel
two shifts are now working trying
to enter the rich ore chute exposed
in the upper tunnel. The men are
constantly entering better ground
and have now attained depth OF
from twenty to twenty-five feet iIom
the surface. The vein as disclosed
in the lower tunnel corresponds in
size and value to that exposed in
the upper tunnel
On the Bullfrog-Johnnie the work
ing shaft on the Golden Eagle claim
is being retimbered from the sur
face to the fifty level. At this level
crosscut will be run to determine
the strength of the ledge On the
surface the vein shows width OF
eight feet.
The management OF the Pittsburg-
Johnnie is sinking a shaft on the
Runaway Girl cara and is doing
prospect work on other claims. The
ledge runs parallel to the Golden
Eagle ledge on the Bullfrog-Johnnie
and is two and half feet wide, as
saying $50 in gold, 20 ounces in

The Tin Horn mine situated at
Golden Arrow has made good
showing for the amount of work that
has been done
Drifting on tue so foot level is at
present the principal feature and
the strong ledge encountered at that
depth continues to show good values.
The owners are highly elated and
claim that this property is one OF
the best at Golden Arrow.

There will arrive today at Walker
Lake a small sized steamer 1t is
the intention of the owners to con
vey passengers across the lake on
the day the reservation opens, and
should prove a mint to the owners,
as crossing the lake in a boat will
give some prospectors several hours
advantage over others in getting
into the Hineralized zone.

Ore Deposits May Cover Cost of
Railroad

Railway graders ran into a fine
body of ore recently when they were
not looking for it. They were cross
ing what is known as the Derby
ranch near Bannock City, b. c.,
when high grade lead deposit some
two feet wide was run into and,
as the grade followed the lead, the
ore was exposed for over 100 feet
when it dipped below the grade.
The ore is exactly similar to the
free milling ore found in Green
wood. III find has caused consid-
cradle excitement in the locality,
as no ore deposits have ever been

Of the Promising Min
ing District

1t seems that wonders will never
cease here in Bellehelen. For a
time the eyes of the mining people
we're turned toward the Horse Shoe
mine, with it's fabulous assays
This claim remained the center Of
attraction until Mr.. Witherell delyed
far enough into the earth to un-
cover a ledge which showed up
equally as we'll as the Horseshoe.
Now, in the wake OF these wonderful
discoveries comes Mr.. Lawrence with
a find that viii hurry up work in
the district and cause capital to get
move on itself
Mr.. Lawrence, at a depth of 10
feet, received an assay of $4,000.
He took about 80 pounds of ore to
Goldfield, mortared sample from
each piece and received colors. then
had the remainder Of the rock assay
ed, and $4,000 was the showing.
He concluded to sink deeper, and did
so, and found a 12-foot ledge in
place, and pans the entire distance
across, and a general assay Of the
ledge gives about $4,000 assay
Messrs Elliott, Boyce and Helm.
Mr. Witherell and Mr., Lawrence are
not the only ones to be rewarded.
Brannock and Sweet have a 60-foot
shaft and have struck something

liberal quantities
Mr.. Cavander has brought into
camp five loads Of lumber for mine
improvements; also, cars and tracks
for the tunnel on which he tound a
pay streak which gave his company

Henry is having his new town-site
surveyed, and will commence al
once to develop his holdings tho

Among the last natural deposits
brought TO light in Nevada is a
vast cement bed
Details regarding the discovery of
the valuable deposit Of Portland ce-
ment, three miles from Dayton, Lyon
county, New, show that the ground
was formerly known as Hank
Blanehard's lime quarry j. H.
Rae, who made the find, is consid-
cred to have something better than
a gold mine in this property, be-
cause experts declare to him there
are 100000 tons of the cement,
and it is worth SIS per ton in car
lots Arrangements win be made
for marketing this product in San
Francisco, where the extraordinary
building operations are said to re-
quire every available pound that can
be secured from all sources.

81 am never without Cuticura Soap

them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. l did not take much notice of it
ut first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then | began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all. the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as soon as I would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before l could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and l did, and the first apple
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks l would take a hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and | kept getting better. and by the
time | used four boxes Of Cuticura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but ! continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dam
