THE NEW CAMP
OF GOLD PITT.

Mr.. Kennedy has a cut on the
Red Top which, with hardly any
depth at all, has shown the values
above stated, and it is intended to
sink at once on systematic basis
and strip the ledge which now APP
pears on the surface. 1t is be-
lieved that Gold Pitt is to become
substantial and permanent camp
on account of the valuable show
ings on the surface. The crop
pings will pan gold, and without
much development mill can be
started very soon. Daily there
are coming in prospectors with
samples of groupings which show
good colors in the pan.
Water can be developed to any
extent surrounding the proper
ties, especially in the valley, and
wood can be obtained in any
quantity in the Pinenut noun
tains, a few miles to the west of
the camp.
A townsite has been surveyed
and plated and lots can be secur-
ed at present at a reasonable
price. Many applications have
been made for these lots and a
restaurant and feed corral will
probably be in running order
next week.
At present Mr.. Kennedy has
the only house which has been
erected, but there are dozen or
more tents on the ground.
The camp is easy of access and
the country is not precipitous.
The veins generally run from east
to west. The country is an ideal
section for a mining camp of con-
siderable proportions.
Geo. D. James, the surveyor, re-
turned from the new camp the
first of the week, after surveying
the claims taken up by Messrs.
Kennedy and Campbell, and from
him we obtained the above in
formation.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-04-28

The new camp lying about ID
miles west of Yerington, which
we spoke of in our last issue, has
been named Gold Pitt. 1t is
north of Smith Valley and north
west of the Ludwig and Douglas
mines, and close to the boundary
line running between Douglas
and Lyon counties, in fact a por-
ton of the property will probably
be in Douglas county when the
line is definitely determined.
At present investors and mining
representatives are coming in
daily, locating and securing all
the claims possible.
The most prominent group of
claims at present showing high
values is owned by Messrs. w. D.
Kennedy, Senator Pitt, of Hum
boldt county, and w. T. Campbell.
They have some eight or nine
claims, and on the Red Top values
have been shown by paintings,
and assays to run from SIS to 500
in gold, and this with nothing but
surface work done.
Others interested in the camp
are Messrs. Hardee, Ashley, Mey-
er, Woodham, Reading, McLaugh-
lin and a number of others whose
names we have not learned. Close
by are located Z. Pierce, John
Pierce, w. L. Brandon and others.
The opinion has been expressed
by mining men competent to
Judge, that the characteristics of
the country are the same as those
of Jumbo and Combination of
Goldfeld. The geological forma
tions are identical with those of
Goldfield - porphyry, andesite,
quartz-ite and rhyolite predominant
ing. 1t may be gathered therefrom
that the veins being in such primi-
tive rocks will prove permanent
and continue down as depth is at
tanned.

mine and will more than likely
install a small milling plant at
once to handle the ore from the
mine, which it is believed can be
done at considerable profit right
at the start. With development
the property stands every chance
to turn into a large and valuable
producer.
The working in a profitable way
of a gold property in this section
is what is need to bring this great
mineral section to the front.
There are many fine prospects in
the district, but they have not yet
got into the hands of people with
means to properly develop them.
1t has been demonstrated be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that
Mason Valley contains some of
the greatest copper deposits in the
world, but it takes much money
and lots of time to get a copper
pIOpSity III oPSidtioi, WhifS
gold prospect, if it be worth any
thing at all, can be made a pro-
ducer at much less expense and
in much shorter time.
There is no doubt that some ex-
cellent gold properties will event
ually be opened up in this sec
ton. In fact the prospects are
better than all of the southern
country, but the development has
not been done. There are pros
poets in this section, which if they
were located near Tonopah or
Goldfield, would create a stam-
pede to this section of country.
But our time will come. The op-
Grafton of the Wheeler property
will be the beginning, and from it
there will no doubt be results that
will attract other capitalists to our
district who will become as great
enthusiasts as have those who
have already visited the great
Walker River section.

c. d. Rooklidge and ]. E. Caine,
of Salt Lake, who were last week,
returned to their homes the first
of this week. As intimated in the
TIMES of last week they closed
the deal for the Tom Wheeler
gold property on the East Walker
River, some thirty miles south of
Yerington. 1t is understood that
$4,000 in cash was paid for the
property. The property is one OF
the best gold prospects in the
East Walker district. 1t consists
of two very promising claims, in
cluding water location. There
has been considerable work done
on this property in years past, but
it is still long way from being a
developed property. -Four tun-
nels have been run a short dis
tance on the ground and all of
them are in ore showing vein
three feet in width which will av-
erage close to $50 per ton. Quite
quantity of ore has been sacked
and is ready for shipment. This
ore is sorted and will go in the
neighborhood of $Ioo per ton.
There is also large body of ore
that will go about $40 per ton.
The property is admirably situated
for working, as there is water and
timber close at hand. The water
right which goes with the proper
ty will furnish sufficient water to
run small mill, and it will only
be necessary to pipe it about a
mile to get fall of over one hun
dred feet.

will at once organize company

Francisco. The soldiers have gone to take
possession Of carloads Of goods, notice Of
whose arrival has come to the Qusrtermas-
ter's Department. and nave found only
empty cars. 1t is supposed that the rob
berries have occurred somewhere about the
docks. Along the waterfront there are a
lot of rather ~disreputable refugees. Their
camps and the ruins along the docks will be
searched for caches.
San Francisco has had it's first strike
since the fire, and the United States Govern
fnent represents the employer. Stevedores
who have been receiving SO cents an hour
for unloading Government supplies have
struck because they are charged 40 cents
a day for meals on the transport Crooke.
Now the Government officials declare that
they will not allow the stevedores to eat on
board for % or money. The work was
at a standstill to-day, but tomorrow if
the stevedores do not return to work their
places will be filed from the refugee camps
and a guard Of soldiers will see that the new
workmen are not interfered with.

S5OO,O 600 MORE FOR RELIEF.
President Ask for It-Reports Tell How
ST 5OO 900 Was Spent.

WASHINGTON, May 7-President Roose-
! welt to-day sent to Congress, without COM
ment, an estimate for an appropriation of
$500, 900 to meet the expenses incurred by
the War Department in connection with
the San Francisco disaster over and above
the appropriation of 50, 500, 900 already made
by Con Qress. The letter of the Secretary
of War was accompanied by statements
| showing that Of $4,000, 900 appropriated
! expenses of 50. 4O5. 1893 have been incurred.
This total is divided as follows: Quarter
masters department, including cost OF sup
plies furnished. ira transportation OF supplies
and cost Of returning troops to their sta
tons. $1,741, ef3; subsistence department,
for purchase of supplies and to replace sup
plies taken from posts. $780, 3i; medical
department. shipments, purchases and ser
vices, 1904 ,53g; signal corps, supplies, labor,
DC, Sis, 900; mileage for officers, s11 sos.
In explaining the need for further APP
preparation Sc cretary Taft writes:
Gen. Greedy has requested hat $500 900
in the hands Of the chief quarter a ster and
chief commissary at San Francisco be
expended for the purchase of further sup
plies. have authorized this expenditure
on the statement by Gen. Greedy that OF the
quartermaster's supplies already sent to
San Francisco more than $500 900 will not
be used, but may be returned to the general
stores Of the army. 1t Is quite probable,
however, Judging from Cen. Greely's
statements, that a larger sum will he

Of continuing the purchase Of supplies,
and / therefore recommend that Con.
gress be applied to to make an additional
appropriation for the same purpose as al

Il am advised that under Gen. Funston

filled, but unto uched, for emergencies, on
the tops of the hills. Not only will these be
connected by regular pipes TO the city fire
plugs, but emergency pipes. which a be
laid In a hurry, will be kept at the reservoirs
TO guard against any breaks in the regular
pipe lines. These seem to be Extraordinary
precautions, but San Francisco is taking
no chances. Of course, these plans are not
definitely adopted, but they are about what
I think the people of San Francisco will
adopt.
When I left Market street property

before the fire. The lessees intend TO throw
up wooden buildings and go on doing busi-
ness until something can be done toward

Mr.. Lane was in charge of a squad Of fire
fighters on the third and fourth days; and
he was in on the last stand at Van Ness
avenue which stopped the advance of
the fire and saved the Western Addition.
The fire was coming from the south
east at the rate of a block an hour he
said. THE west wind was blowing already,
but that was not enough to stop it. In the
first day Of the fire they had dynamited
a lot OF buildings already burning, which

had the idea Of dynamiting standing build
