The greatest obstacle which these COM
panies have to contend with, which have
greatly retarded the progress and devei-
been the excessive railroad rates, high
smelling charges, and long, expensive
wagon hauls. With this in mind, and
knowing from experience the value of A
smelter in the heart of this great mining
region, the company has been formed as
a smelling as well as a mining company.
The smelter will be located in the valley
between Eden and Reveille. about five
miles from Eden and seven miles from
Reyeille.
Ore Now In Sight.
''At the Reveille lead mine there is at
present about 5000 tons of ore already
mined on the dumps, with at least $1,000
tons blocked out in the mine, which can
be taken out as soon as required. To this
is being added the tonnage opened up by
development from day to day. This ore,
when treated by a smelter on the proper
ty, should yield to the company S3S per
ton, net. This lead ore aside from its
assay value, has an additional value as a
flux, necessary in the process of smelt-
ing the SliciouS ores, which abound in
Nevada. The New York office is in
charge of Assistant Secretary Adams I'm
derwood, who was for number of years
private secretary to Senator w. A.

The Round Mountain Nugget describes

Most of the great gold fields have been
discovered entirely through accident
The romances connected with their dis
covery have been brought 20 mind by the
story which comes from England Of the
young man on his way home from New
Zealand with a fortune which came 10
him by accident. He is the son of a bill
poster who found his way to New Zealand
and worked in the mines. One day, while

New South Wales, was discovered by q
negro cook of a sheep camp. who brought
the ore into Melbourne, and, not knowing
its value, sold his information for few
hundred dollars. The mine has since paid
nearly 100000 in dividends and is still
a profitable investment.
The wonderful camp of Coolgardie, In
West Australia, was discovered by Bailey
through his horse, which pulled up a
tree to which 1t had been tied, uncover
ing rich specimen ore.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines,
in the Occur d'Alenes of Idaho, were
found by donkey which uprooted pine
tree and disclosed the ore.
in South Africa by the children of Boer
farmer, who picked up an uncommon
looking pebble, which proved to be a
most valuable diamond.
Ever since the discovery of Manhattan,
New, miners have constantly been eX-
pioring the adjacent country with the
hope of tracing the original source OF
ManhattanS golden wealth. 1t was on
one of these prospecting expeditions that
a party of prospectors had taken up their
search at the foot of lone mountain,
known to those who follow the desert as
Round mountain, on account of its cir
cular formation.
All the loose dirt on first discovery on
the Antelope was found to carry quanti-
ties of gold and was thrust into ore sacks
as fast as the men could shovel Within
three feet from the surface. the tunnel
seemed to be diverted into a vertical di-
rection. and as the ground was opened up
it disclosed the fact that the badger had
chosen as a sleeping place a slab Of rock
which formed part of vein of quartz.
Picking into the ledge, a large piece of
this rock, which was sixteen inches long
by twelve wide, was found to be coated
over on one of its sides with gold in al
most state of purity and as thick as a
twenty-dollar gold piece, and In some
places three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness. Great care was taken to get this
large slab out in it's entirety; but the rock,
upon which the layer of gold had been
deposited in some ancient day before the
human race was born, was not of a sta
BILE character. and consequently there
were some unavoidable breakages in the
rock and in the gold layer. Notwith-
standing these breakages, the specimen
which was taken out is the largest and
richest ever discovered in Nevada.
This wonderful gold specimen is now
being exhibited by the Round Mountain
Antelope Mining company at the various
seaside resorts in the east. Following the
work done by the badger the company is
now taking out high-grade ore which is
being sacked for shipment.

RAMSEY is GOOD CAMP.
T. L. Robinson Says Its Surface
Showinas Are Greatest in Nevada.

II. L. Robinson of Goldfield and RAM
sey said, when asked for his opinion of
the new district, that he considers it one
of the greatest things in the way of sur
and that is going some, says the Carson
Daily Appeal,
HE describes the mineral belt as six
miles in extent and says that there are
or Clark bonanza, on which he has bought
an extension of 800 feet.
There are 100 men in the camp and
more are coming in all the time. Several
stores have been started and the Town
site company, of which Robinson is the
heau, is developing water as fast as Jos
sble.
''Virginia City is wild-over the showing
made on the surface, but Robinson, like
all cautious men, says 1T is too carly to
Eegin TO predict, as the work has not been
extensive enough 10 show what is there.
'One thing is certain" said he. Ram
sey has the greatest showing on the sur
face that | ever saw. 1t is one great field
of porphyritic ledge matter, and there are
several rich lodges in addition to the
Clark ledge, but nothing has been said
about them for fear Of litigation that
might follow the announcement that they
are worth having.
II have faith in the new camp and am
willing to spend several thousand dollars
in the proposition. l am waiting now for
some assays on other lodges in the district
the Clark ledge, and will know more
about what is there when / get them. One
great beauty of the camp is that ore can
be worked SO cheaply that SIS rock will
pay.
Everything is alive in the new town
site and men are going in at the rate OF
ten or a dozen day. Some stay and
some leave again. l think that Ramsey
is only another point on the huge deposit
of porphyritic quartz that lies along the
east side of the Sierras, from the Colo
RADIO river to the north of Pyramid lake.
Bullfrog is one point. Gordfield, Manhat-
tan, Round Mountain, Como, Ramsey,
Virginia City and Olinghouse are others,
including Fairview, for a branch of it
seems to have run out there.
Ramsey is not a one-mine camp by
any manner Of means, and I believe that
when the work is done on the strikes in
this district, and it is found that they go
down, Ramsey will be second to no camp
in the state, or in the world for that mat
ter, for ii has enormous lodges of good
ore. Goldfield is without doubt the pre-
mer camp for richness to the ton, but
ether camps have produced more and will
do so again"

MAYNE TALKS ABOUT RAMSEY.
Many Lodges Carrying Good Milling
Ore Run Through District.

Ramsey is on the DOOM" said Mr..
Aayne to a Nevada newspaper represen-
tative several days ago. THE earlier his
tory of the camp, that extends only over
period of three months. included a re-
port of a strike that proved to be no
strike at all but after some work was
done, the Lodges were found in place.
Now 200 men are digging and delV-
ing night and day in an effort to get
through the cap that covers many. Of
the lodges, and get down to the ore.
Across the canyon in which the strike
was made, the ledge crops again, and
is almost as high as on the discovery
spot. 1t dips into the ground again and
reappears on the other side of the second
gully, or canyon to the south, in all a
distance of about 1000 feet The north
end dips into the cap at deep angle.
Parallel to this big ledge are five
other lodges almost as large. one wider

THE values are in free gold, sulphides
