Mining Men
All of the big properties Of the
Greenwater district now being oper-
ated are showing up well, says the
Greenwater Tines of recent date.
There is not one among them that
does not improve with depth That
can be wildly said of the Green
water and Death Valley claims, on
which there are three shafts going
down on as many claims.
There is hardly any use in specific
ally mentioning many of these cop
per empire builders, for we would
only repeat what has so often been
said about them in the many pub
locations of the country. We have
not the space, and were we to men
tion one, we in justice would be ex-
pected to do the same by all.
Ground Staked for Miles
The excitement in copper trends
down into the Death Valley; and it
is said by parties who have been
down there during the week that
ground has been staked away out on
to the salt marshes on that barren
and desolate plateau. From Death
Valley and between it and the Fur
mace Creek company's ground there
are worlds of copper, but in almost
inaccessible places. The immensely
of the ore bodies is far beyond the
comprehension of the mind. Large
and responsible mining corporations
have been organized to operate them,
but we believe that in time these
enormous deposits will be eventually
mined by a tunnel from the valley
cutting the lodges all the way from
a few feet to over a mile in depth.
Presents Wonderful Showings
A full force of men is working in
the property of the Furnace Creek
property, and it is reported they are
drifting on the lead both ways. The
same company has subsidiary opera
lions on claims adjoining, and it can
be said of them that they present
wonderful showings. Jim Casey is
at the bat on these properties, while
during the absence of General Man
ager Harvey the management of the
whole property rests with Patsy
Clark, Jr., who is acknowledged as a
young mar possessing ability and
tact in managing large mining en-
terprises.
Harry Tague is the manager of
the Furnace Creek Extension prop
erty, and the claims lay adjacent to
that of the parent. There are many
large leads coursing through the
properties and a force Of men is
employed developing them in 8 min
ing manner. Several deposits of rich
ore have been found, but work Of
development continues to determine
their extent and to Uncover others.
Most Promising in World
There is not a promising
mining district in the world today
than the Greenwater is. There never
was the showing in the world in
any country that we have here.
We can gain but little informa-
ltion, situated where we are, but
there is a report of wide circuh-
ton that some of the larger mines
of the district are to be merged into
one corporation, and the two most
frequently mentioned are the Green
water-Death Valley, Furnace Creek
properties and others. 1t is said that
this immense consolidation has been
consummated, but the particulars
and conditions or the number merged
we have been unable to ascertain at
this writing.
There has been terrific bounds In
all values in camp during the past
week. Mining is, of course, the
leading feature and there have been
many exchanges of valuable property
at handsome figures, and many sales
OF prospects at all kinds of figures.
Every mine, location a prospect com
mands a price and there is no need
of anybody going about without a
cent in their pockets when there Is a
possibility of a piece of ground be-
