made twenty miles north and west OF

going to the scene. A gold strike Is
also reported twenty miles to the south
of the camp.
NEW STRIKE MADE
number of men have headed that
lodges in the region has not been re-
ported, and little is known of the
strike beyond the fact that its prin-
cipaI value is in gold. At Greenwater
the drilling crew of the railroad COM
pany has started work on a well to
supply water for the town. It is
thought that a flow will be tapped
within 200 500 feet. This would
prove godsend TO the camp. as water
is now hauled a long distance, and
though the figures are not exorbitant,
the cost is a large item in living ex-
penses.
The demand for miners. carpenters
and the like continue about the big
section, and almost without exception
all properties lying in the flfteen-nIIe
copper belt are being opened up as rap
idly as the long haul will permit nee
eSSary materials to arrive.
The dearth of coal and great scarcity
OF wood have struck a serious blow at
the Tonopah mines. Several properties
In this camp are practically idle, as
they have not sufficient fuel to operate
the hoists. One Of the most credftabte
things to the spirit OF the mine owners
is the action OF the Mine Operators
Association, which includes every pro
ductng mine In the camp in this mat
ter. The association has been doing All
in its power to relieve the situation
and has willingly given up its con
tracts on various wood supplies IN or
der that the towns folk might have
sufficient wood to keep warm during
the prolonged cold snap.
NEED OF HOUR is FUEL
The railroad company has done all
it could to bring in supplies of fuel
The road has been so short of coal for
it's own use that il has been Impossible
to operate one-half OF the motive
power. The passenger traffic 20 this
part Of the country is very heavy and
the railroad people have been forced
TO allow their freight OF an unperfsh-
able nature to stand in order to save
enough fuel to run the big trains up
the grade
1t is understood that a considerable
supply OF coal has been started this
way consigned to the railroad and big
mining companies When this arrives
it is the intention of the road and
company TO turn half of the shipment
over to the towns people in small lots
at the regular rate. without attempt
ing to make any profit on the supply.
James A Buchanan. who has for
the past four months been making
careful and exhaustive study OF con
ditions in and around GOldheId. has
returned to Tonopah and is most en-
thusiastic over the Kewanas property
For over four months" said Bu-
chanan, Il have been giving the Ke-
wanas my especial attention. as the
reports that I had received at that
time showed it to be a very promising
piece of ground I am not violating
any confidence when I state that
large body of ore that will run better
than $500 to the ton has been un-
covered on one of the leases and an
other at lesser depth runs better than
5000. In another lease eut a few hun
dred feet from the aforementioned ore
has been struck at a depth of only
forty-seven feet that runs better than
s140. In still another lease a good
sized body of high-gra milling ore
surprised the owners Of the lease. who
had not expected to strike substantial
values until they had gone to a con-
siderably greater depth.
Louis Schloss has had charge Of the
property IN an ihlelllSeht ana skill
full manner he has conducted opera
tions. H. z. Peterson. mining en-
gineer, who has been in consultation
with the officials of the company and
the owners of the different leases. has
caused the sinking OF the shafts at
points where they have all struck ore.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
the engineers I have had with me at
different times while on the ground
that not only the Jumbo but the Vel
vet and one other rich ledge traverse
the property. Schloss and Peterson
are confident from indications that an
other ledge will be found with a little
more work"
