EXCITEMENT At
OSCEOLA CAMP
Mother Lode Reported Found Neal
Nevada's Most Famous Placer
Mining District.
BIG STAMPEDE is NOW ON
KING CON. AND MAY DAY CONDI.
TONS ARE GOOD.

Osceola, New, is all excitement over a
discovery that has just been made four
miles northeast OF the town by Thomas
watkins. ProspectOrs are rushing in, a
district has been organized, a townsite
plated and a genuine Nevada boom start
ed This information comes from James
H Marriott, who represents the inter-
ests of Ben Hampton of this city in the
old bonanza camp and its correctness is
therefore apparent.
The Watkins discovery is believed to
have been made on the mother lode" of
the district, something that has been dill
gently sought for no less than thirty
years The few ASSAYS that have been
made so far, indicate average values of
SlO0 per ton. The misunderstanding zone
is quite wide and can be traced for more
than one and one-half miles. The new
district is called Black Horse and the
er1ng the ground clear through to OSce-
ola within a few days
In the face of d heavy rainstorm old
timers of OSceOla had gone to the point
of discovery and were camped on the
ground when Mr.. Marriott'S letter was
mailed, early in the week To add to
the boom that the latest discovery is be-
ginning to create. are the arrivals over
county, headed for Ely. The first pas
sengerS to arrive after the find was re-
ported, stopped off to investigate it and
that many others will do the same thing
is considered certain.
Osceola has the reputation of being
the richest placer gold camp ever discOv-
cred in the United States. Benjamin
Hampton of this city. with others, got in
with the first rush in 1857, thirty years
ago, and began to prospect. The follow
ing year they got down to work and, as
the Osceola Placer company were not long
in CLEANING up 100000 or more. Nuggets
from the size of a mans fist up to chunk
Weighing as high as $4,000 were washed
out and the widest kind of excitement
prevailed. Then water sources, owing to
continuous drouth, began to dry up and
the bitches run for supplying sluices with
water were no longer available and the
camp went down
Hampton and associates then began the
search for the lode from which it was
supposed all the placer gold came from
and 100000 or more was spent in this
character of work, which included the
sinking of numerous deep shafts
The past season OF two. and particu-
larly the winter now drawiag to a close,
with the greatest storms and heavier pre-
cipitation than has been known in this
region for many years. is reDienishing
the exhausted reservoirs of the camps
of the arid belt of southern Nevada. and
the prosDects for great sluicing operations
are good. Should erpectations in this
respect be realized. the placers Of Csc
ola will again be heard from. for the
travels there are richer and deeper than
IN probably any other camp on the con-
tinent.

NEW TEACHING PLANT.
Process About Ready for
Try-Out at Cactus.

G.. H Waterbury, who is constructing
a plant at the Cactus property for the
purpose of demonstrating his new leach
ing process, as ii applies to the recovery
of values from carbonate and oxide cop
per ores, came up from camp yesterday.
He was in conference with Mr.. Newhouse
during the day, and the expectation is
that he will be ready to begin the treat
ment of ore within few days.
Mr.. Newhouse is interested with Mr.
Waterbury in his patented method and
should the demonstra tons that are to be
made in the new plant. which is one of
commercial capacity. prove up anything
like what the inventor has been able to
do in a small way. there is likely to be
revolution in the methods Of treating cop
per ore.

reached and the change shows a mag
nificent character of sulphides. This ore
zone is some 300 feet in width and is
destined to become, in the judgment of
Captain Tibbitts, one of the great cop
per producers of the country.
The Bluestone has a developed ore
body 300 feet wide, 500 feet deep and
700 feet long, and a milling plant using
electric devices to effect a separation
of the metals from the gangue, a plant
milar to that now in operation in this
city. is in successful operation at the
property and turning out a high-grade
concentrate
The Dyer and Spragg properties both
contain large bodies of sulphide ore,
varying in thickness from twelve to
over 100 feet. These ores are, of course,
low-graGe, but the tonnage promised is
enormous, while the total metal values
range from SO to SIS per ton.
The country abounds in the finest of
iron and lime for fluxing purposes,
Will the two forks of the Walker riv-
er offer ample opportunities for the
generation of power, which can and will
be electrically transmitted.
This region, like the east copper belt
at Ely, calls for local plants, where the
handled. This condition can only be
brought about by combination of cap
ital strong enough to exploit the mines
and equip them with suitable plants for
the reduction of the ores. Capital IS
seeking investment where a fair per-
centage Of profit can be assured for a
long term of years, and it will not DE
long till the Mason district is COM
handing attention at their hands.
Many discoveries are now being made
and work is being pushed upon gold
and silver properties to the west of and
along reservation boundary line and

SILVER KING CONSOLIDATED.
Shaft Nearing 1,1oo-Foot Level,
Where Explorations BEGIN.

Reports from the Silver King Consoli-
dated, at Park City. continue to be of a
most encouraging nature Three feet &
day is now being made in sinking the
great double compartment and man-way
shaft, and Superintendent ]. H. Keetley
states that the I,10O-foOt level will be
reached and drifting will have been COM
menced by the first of the coming month.
I'VE have a better showing in the bot
tom of the shaft today than we ever
had said Mr.. Keetley yesterday. The
Quartz is more highly mineralized and
the lime is literally filled with oxide of
iron. The ground is of a most favorable
texture for the making of ore, and every
days work makes it more apparent that
we are on the right track We have de-
cided to begin explorations at the 1,100-
foot level, and as we are now nearing
that mark, it will not be many days till
we commence reaching out for the ore"

within the boundaries Of the reserva-
ton, but the government officials in
charge have just as often compelled the
operators to cease and keep out of the
land of promise" That the metals
exist in paying quantities has been re-
peatedly proven and hundreds of men
who, by some pTetense or another, have
been able TO satisfy themselves on that
point, are now impatiently awaiting the
day when Uncle Sam is at liberty to
issue the invitation to enter. The task
of making allOtments to the Indians is
now under way, and when that is fin
ished, 1t is expected that a DrOClama-
Iion providing for the opening of the

Country and Its Resources.
For the hurriedly drawn sketch of the
reservation and much of the data con-
corning the contiguous country The
Herald is indebted to CAPTAIN o. A.
Tib0itts, the well known mining en-
gineer, who has spent much of the past
year and 3, half in that country. The
reservation, as shown, skirts the valley
through which flows the Walker river
(the Mason Valley on the cast. It is
approximately sixty miles long and
about fifteen miles wide The Walker
lake, practically all d which is within
the reservation boundaries, is about
thirty miles long and from six to eight
miles wide. West from the middle Of
the reservation, in the Mason valley, is
the town of YeringtOn, and west from
YeringtOn in the range of hills on that
side of the valley, is the Mason mining
district. Yerington is about twelve
miles south of Wa,buska, on the Colo
RADIO & Carson railroad and, owing to
the swarm of prospectOrs that are
flocking in to await the reservations

WesIey's Mother.

The mother of John and Charles Wes-

one Of the most remarkable characters
Of her own or any other age. From
tender years the principles Of religion
and practical piety were instilled by
her in the minds of her children. She
daily took them into a private room
and prayed with each, and so imbued
their minds with the spirit of religion
that the Methodist movement was real
