More Rockland Bullion
Shipped.

Superintendent G. P. Rubsch,
of the Nevada Rockland mine, at
Rockland, IS miles south of Yer
ington, was in town this week on
business and to ship the bullion
for the month of July. This bull
lion amounted to 3I1a pounds for
the July run. There is some sill
yer in it, which brings the value
down to about $Io.75 per ounce,
making the total value of the
shipment about $4,000. Taking
into consideration the fact that
this little mine is producing this
amount of bullion every month,
with only little hve-stamp mill
and a small cyanide plant, it is
very fine showing for the property

and speaks well for those who are
handling the mine and mill.
1t is expected that parties IN
Los Angeles who are interested IN
the Nevada Rockland mine, will
be here very shortly to investi-
gate the proposition of greatly en-
larging the plant. The mine will
now stand for a plant ten times
the size of the one now used tor
reducing the ore, and in all prob
ability one of that size will be put
in if it can be demonstrated that
water sufficient to operate 1t can
be developed.
The Nevada Rockland is one
of the little mines in Nevada
which is pegging right along and
producing the stuff without max
ing and blow about it.

PROPOSED NEW
COUNTY BOUNDARIES.
The Proposition Of Ex-senator Stew
art Would Make a New County
in the State.

Ex-senator VIM. M. Stewart,
who several months ago, took up
the matter of forming a new
county in southern Nevada, to be
called Bullfrog, with Rhyolite,
Beatty. Bullfrog or some other
live camp as the county seat, has
drawn a bill which he will have
introduced in the next Legislature
which, if it passes, will accomplish
this end. Not only does he con-
template the formation of a large
new county, but expects to revise
the boundaries of Nye, Esmeralda,
Lincoln, White Pine, Lander and
Eureka counties. His scheme
would reduce somewhat the size
of Esmeralda, Nye and Lincoln,
but they would still be left several
times larger than some OF the
Eastern States.
The two most important effects
of the measure would be to take
Bullfrog from Nye and give it to
Btllfrog county and the removal
of the Gold6eld country from Es-
meralda to Nye county. While
Nye might consent to such an ar
rangement it is certain that the
northern part of Esmeralda would
make objection.
The bill would have the effect
of creating another large county
in Nevada. The intention is to
call it Bullfrog, after the celebra-
ted mining district in southwest
ern Nye, which would give it its
chief population.
To make up its territory LISP
square miles would be taken from
southern Esmeralda county, 1880
square miles from northern Nye
county and 5,62S square miles
from southern Lincoln county, a
total of 1901 square miles.
While this measure would in no
way effect Lyon county lines, 1t
should be made to do so. Lyon
county is the most irregular coun-
ty on the map, and why and how
the lines were drawn to represent
so nearly an irregular star is be-
yond comprehension. While Lyon
county contains enough territory
the lines still need Strengthening
out and defining. There is still a
dispute about the line between
Lyon and Storey counties, and the
line between Douglas and Lyon
is an indefinite one, following the
ridiculous course prescribed in the
Statutes as the base of a certain
range of hills. Lyon county is
not anxious to acquire any more
territory, nor does she desire to
lose any, but in Strengthening out
the lines it might be necessary to
give and take small stretch here
and there to make the lines form
county which would be for the
best interests of all concerned.
This matter should be given some
attention when the selection for
Assemblymen is made next Fall.

Sells Big Mine to Angelenos.

Clay Peters, the millionaire mine
owner of Tonopah, arrived in Los
Angeles from Manhattan last
week. He came here for the ex-
press purpose of interesting capt.
talists in the Indian Camp Exten-
sion mine, which he regards as
one of the most promising proper
ties in the State of Nevada. He
succeeded in his mission before he
had been in the city three hours.
A company of local capitalists
headed by the Pacific Coast Mines
Bureau purchased from Mr. Pc
tiers a one half interest in the In
dian Camp Extension mine, the
purchase price being $4,000 One
of the buyers was B, M. Blythe,
of Monrovia, who is already heav-
lily interested in Manhattan prop
critics. Mr.. Peters also transferred
to the buyers the right to develop
the mine, and as soon as that un-
derstanding was reached a tele-
gram was sent to Manhattan di-
recting Capt. Henry Harrison, the
Manhattan representative of Mr..
Blythe and his associates, to take
the property in hand at once and
begin development work. In de-
scribing the property on which he
had just realized $4,000, Mr.. Pc

New Camp in Walker Lake
District.

A tremendous rush has set in to a
camp II miles east OF the Walker
Lake, close to the Indian Reserva-
ton The camp is so young that
it has not yet got even a name,
but already there are 100 persons
on the ground, and 1000 claims
have been located. There is
plenty of room for more, however,
as the mineral zone at that point
is IS miles long and FIVE miles
wide.
According to the Manhattan
News, the district is described by
w. H. Robinson, Superintendent
of the Combination, as a second
Goldfield with rhyolite dykes
coming through andesite. 1t is in
the rhyolite that the gold values
occur.
The great drawback to the
camp is that there is neither wood
nor water, and the latter commod-
ity has to be brought in distance
of I8 miles Wells are being sunk
and there is every indication that
they will be productive.
The pioneers of the district
were Joe Wilson and Will and
Claude Inman. Having light
rig, good span of mules and a
plentiful supply of water in cask,
they ventured FIVE or six weeks
into region, which it is thought
has never before been trodden by
the foot of man. They were well
rewarded for their temerity, for at
point about IL miles east OF
Walker Lake they were delighted
with the sight of country ribbed
in all directions with enormous
strong lodges 80 and 40 feet broad.
The average samples which they
took at the time have since given
assays of $40 to $50. They imme-
ulaIeIy iUCarru az SrainIo IUI them
selves and nine for Mr.. Robinson.
One of these mines is worth, it is
stated, at least $4,000 as it stands
without stroke of work having
been done.
Once they got into touch again
with the railroad and civilization,
it was not long before other treas
ure-hunters got wind of the new
Eldorado that Wilson had alig
upon. Once the rush was started,
it grew like a SNOWFALL and as
stated above, there are 100 people
on the ground and more are flock
ing in daily. The influx is facili-
tated by the proximity of the new
strike to the railroad which is only
IL miles away. This is feature,
too, which augurs well for the
success of the camp as shipper,
for the cost of ore transportation
from mine to smelter will be very
light indeed. Though the sur
rounding country may be barren
and desert, the history of southern
Nevada has already proven that
such obstacles are no drawback to
thegrowth of a town if rich ore is
to be found in the vicinity. So
quickly has the new camp grown
that there is already talk of laying
out a townsite, even before the
camp has name.

THE NATIONAL ROAD.

The National Good Roads As,
sociation is powerful force foI
good, and its work is accomplishing
results in all parts of the United
States. 1t is engaged in many
things that will benefit the people.
One of the great schemes it has in
mind and which 1t has set about to
accomplish, is the repair and re
building of the great national road
across Maryland, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.
That memorable road was intend.
ed to be one of the highways be-
tween the East and West before
Railroads were known. 1t was
built at great expense, costing the
Federal Government over seven
million dollars, and during the
early days was a famous highway
over which thousands travelled every
week. When railroads came into
existence the national road was
neglected, and today it is only a
skeleton of what once was.
1t is proposed to rebuild it, and
the National Good Roads Associat-
ion has undertaken to have il done
by the government. The length of
the road is about 100 miles, and it
can be rebuilt for less than seven
million dollars 81, 600, ooo). That
is about the cost of one good battle
ship and we are building lots of
them. The appropriation Of that
sum TO make this old road across
hve states would do as much good
as the averag battleship, for not one
such ship in ten will ever get in a
fight. Then, when the old road
has been put iu good shape to the
Mississippi River, it may be that
the price of about three other
battleships will be set aside to build
the road to the Pacific coast.
One first class continuous high.
way across the continent would be
great thing. Many a traveller
would spend two to three months
going and coming by team, bicycle,
automobile, or otherwise. 1t would
be easy for the nation to do a thing
like this.
In 1905 one hundred and fifty
thousand Americans visited Europe,
and for the privilege of going over
the frst-class European roads paid
over 5000, 900, 900. - MoIgantown
