NOTES FROM

British Capital Attracted by Won.
derfuI Opportunities Pre-
Sented for Investment.
LARGE DEALS OCCUR DAILY.
G. ID. Rooklidgc Returns After Adding
10 His Holdings And Is Greatly
Impressed with Country.

Mr.. Chas. n. RooklIdge returned from
Warrington, New, yesterday and viii
resume his duties as manager OF the
Pioneer Sampllng works. Mr.. Rock
lidge has been making investments In
this region for some time past and APP
pears to have met with on unusual
measure OF success. At this time he
aud his associates have three separate
claims, and some Of these are said
TO have shown exceptionally good val
ues In gold and copper. Together with
Mr.. Joseph L. Caine, Mr.. Rooklidge
added still another gold property to his
holdings during the trip. This is To-
Gated about 30 miles southeast of Yer.
rington, and consists OF two lode
claims and a water location. The
ground Is known as the Wheeler mine,
and the ledge has been opened through
four tunnels and every test made Is
said to show better than $50 per ton.
Sixty tons OF ore has been sacked and
Is now awaiting shipment which It IL
said viii go S15 per ton, while sam
Piles taken from the second-class
dumps snow worth or not less than
SIS. Timber sufficient for many years
TO come exists I'm abundance and the
company's water right amounts to nine
miners inches.
Mr.. Rooklidge says the town Of YER
rlngton is surprising itself. Valuable
properties change hands every day, and
large deals are 40 common as scarcely
TO attract attention. Large numbers Of
outside investors are making the town
their headquarters, to say nothing Of
the ubiquitous British capitalist at
tracted by the unprecedented opportu-
mites for investment. No effort IL be-
ing spared TO make this summer rec
ord breaker In the history Of Nevada
mining and from Appearances II would
seem that success Is assured.

CARIsA MINE DOING WELL.
News Of Recent Strike just Leaks Ont,
And Prospects Good.

According TO reports. strike OF more
than ordinary importance has been
made on the 700 foot level of the Ca
rlsa. Supt. L. Hoffman of the COM
pany Is said TO have telephoned the
news to the offices yesterday afternoon
but IA some quarters II is said that
the discovery has been known among
a certain select f'w for days past. II
Is also said that the strike occurred
only S5 feet from the end lines of the
Victor Con. and that the lode bears
away in about equal strength In both
directions The news created strong
demand for Victor Con, the trading
IN that security yesterday being the
heavist for some time past.

DOUGLAS GROUP SOLD.
Utah Capitalists Gain Control of I'M
portant and Valuable Property.

II was stated In mining circles late
yesterday that the Douglas group In the
Warrington Copper district had become
the property OF a syndicate composed
of Walter G. Oren, general manager Of
the Utah Apex, Butler Liberal and Red
Wing properties OF Bingham, +. j.
Hasenbarth and others. Neither gem
tleman cared to state definitely that
this was the case, but IN addition to
expert examination personal inspec-
ton has been made, and the deal Is
generally accepted as an accomplished
fact. The property has an established
output of large volume, but this is said
TO be small as compared with the re-
suit or the campaign of development to
be inaugureted by the new owners.
