Greenwater. Cal, Sept 10.-This
great copper camp has been favored
by many of the notable mining men
of this nation, and by their represen-
tatives, during the past week That
is not all, but the representatives of
these great monied interests are get
ting options on every piece of prop
them into the fold. In comparison to
these great interests the prospectors,
and the floating population were en-
ticed to the prize-fght at Goldheld,
as result our population had been
somewhat diminished for time. What
people could get away had went
Since the fight is over. there has been
a return of these and great influx of
new people.
1t has been our pleasure to have Wis
ited many of the more prominent
mines of the district since we arrived
and we want to go on record as say
ing that reports as to the fabulous
showings in copper is the truth. Tho
Schwabs have a group of claims
which includes the town of Copper
field and the wealth of copper with the
work accomplished is simply great.
The Schwabs are not the only large
operators: there Is Ed O'DonnelIs, ad-

Senator Clark as well, then Harry
Ramsey, he of Greenwater. has a rich
group. Patsy Clark, another. Senator
Lee Mantle another, besides many
equally as prospecteriy rich in the
hands of poor men who know their
value and who will not part with them
for any small prices. Messrs Meisser
& Blount, have rich property Mich
ael Conway. an old prospector and MI
ner has the equal of any in the Green
water mining region. Harry league,
representing a Butte syndicate, is
strong In the great mineral belt, and
SO is Patrick O'Hara. Pat has many
of his claims away down on the Death
Valley slope of the Funeral Range OF
mountains. Apparently there is not a
poor showing among this bunch. The
poor as well as the rich revel in the
wealth that copper will bring. although
1t may be said that the larger groups
are held by wealth while those of
more moderate means have loaded on
what they could conveniently carry.
Jim" Brown made a very valuable
location on the Death Valley slope
Monday. 1t is the equal in surface
showing of any and he Is congratu-
1ating himself that others did not dis
cover the property before he did. 1t

This town can boast of one Of the
most complete mercantile institutions
on the desert. r. Broglemann is the
man who took courage and whipped

credit to metropolitan city. It Is
hard to get freight in. but Mr.. Brogle-
