on a lease for nearly a year, striking
ore more or less all the time of values
of from So to $40. in sinking and UNI
ming drifts have at last been rewarded
by opening a fine ledge of gold and sill
yer ore, of which they have made three
small shipments to Reno. The values
show over $500 per ton, according to a
recent dispatch. This is near the ledge
of the Mccarthy and Carman lease of

Faith of Capitalists

All the capital necessary is available
to prosecute work according to the lat
est mining and hydraulic methods both
from eastern and western capitalists
who have much faith in the future of
the Smith valley and surrounding dis
tricts, and preparations are now being
made for a mining and industrial enter
prise on a large scale. Work is going
ahead vigorously at present. and much
hat has laid dormant for years on ac-
count of lack of facilities, will now
come to the front, to make a record Of
copper and gold production equal TO any
of the state of Nevada or the western
states.
The eli nate is unexcelled, the main
line of the Southern Pacific railroad is
in close proximity at present. as is no
ticed by shipments constantly of the
Ludwig and other mines. and when the
projected railroad from the Southern
Pacific railroad across the Smith valley
is completed. which Will pass close TO
the mines, additional expense will be
saved, resulting in a higher return OF
profit to the investors.

Railroad Facilities Needed

There is need at present of railroad
facilities throughout this series of dis
tricts; the results of engineering in
~vestigations prove that a railroad to tap
the various towns and camps, which are
now permanent. will tend to open up a
vast and fruitful country hitherto neg
ripe; an easy grade can be furnished.
the curvature light and the cost of con-
struction small; no tunnelling and very
little bridging necessary, and it is con-
sidered that the investment will be a
paying one, as teaming costs greater
than the rates which will be inaugur-
ated with the advent of the railroad. All
the lands in the valleys mentioned can
be irrigated, and the soil is of the best;
much of the area is already under ir-
rigation; water is found in abundance at
small depth and artesian wells are now
being sunk at the town of Bell View,
to stimulate a steady growth and make
a central point for those settling In
these sections. The town of Bell View
has been surveyed and lots are for sale.
This town is located on the east side
of Smith valley and has a gentle slope
towards the valley, along the main road
leading from Wabuska, the Ludwig
mine (well known for its copper produce
tion), Wellington and Bodie. as well as
the Walker Lake Indian reservation,
soon to be opened for mineral purposes;
so tina the future of the districts men,
toned is assured, and much revenue
will result from systematic develop
ment and investment.

District HAS True rissures

The development on many of the
mines of the ranges in Smith valley in
particular show that permanence will
be attained with true assures in lime,
porphyry, biotite, andesite, rhyolite,
quartz, and formations in which the
best values are to be expected. The
range is essentially volcanic; from al
most every piece of ore prospected, pan
nings are found, and the true values can
only be received through milling. con-
centration and smelling, on account of
the appearance of sulphides; but evil
dences are at hand to prove that gold
and copper will show themselves in
quantities and values not to be excelled
in any district of the United States.
The Carr-Delany properties are To-
Gated on the east of Smith valley, about
Az miles southerly from the town of
Bell View and Z miles so~utheasterly
from the town of Buckskin: they con-
sist of IL claims and run southerly and
northerly along the main vein, rising
up the valley to the north to the high

range, following the series of ridges in
continuation of the Ludwig, Douglas

copper mines.

The Smith and Mason valleys are
situated in the most fruitful portions of
the state of Nevada; ranches and farms
scattered throughout, which yield IA
ly revenues satisfactory to the owners:
on either side of these valleys tire
ranges of mountains which. with devel-
opment. will yield valuable returns from
the metals of gold. silver. copper. lead
and other products of commercial i'm
p~ortance; at the present time. sh m
are being made in carloads of copper
and gold ores to mills and smelters. both
to Salt Lake City, San Francisco and
other points with a margin of profit
greater in some cases than many other
outputs.
The sections embraced in this dis
trict. or series of districts-include the
towns of Bell View. Buckskin and Well
ington; the Mason. Smith Valley, Buck
skin, Red Canon and other mining dis
tricts have been formed for the purpose
of recording the mines and claims with

Much Development Done

In these mines much development has
been prosecuted by means of tunnels,
shafts, wines and crosscuts, which
have reached sufficient lengths and
depths to prove the continuity of ore
bodies, and from which developments.
much high grade ore, running into the
thousands of dollars per ton in gold and
copper nave been realized. In the past,
however. embracing perhaps 40 pears of
unsystematic workings. while the best
ore was shipped. much was left in the
slopes ard on each side of the tunnels
and shafts which, with the facilities of
today and close transportation, can be
shipped at a high margin of profit.
There are between one and two thou
sane feet of development on these prop
critics, and all of these are along the
vein and in ore, being from 3 to 4 feet
wide. Free gold is seen throughout, and
arrangements nave been made to sink
shafts and tunnel to considerable depth.
In addition, surveys have been COM
menced and are nov in process of con-
%tinuation, for the supply of water for
electric power from the adjacent West
Walker river; dams will be built for
power, lighting and other purposes to
the mines and surrounding towns and
districts.

Red Canon

About seven miles south of these
springs, Red canon is located. from
whence bodies of silver-lead ores, as
we'll as high values in gold. have been
found, and with development, greater
values will be realized. In fact, the re
gion surrounding the Smith valley is,
and will be. prolific in values from min
ing and commercial points of view; all
that is needed is money for development.

at Bell View

Close to the town of Bell View, the
properties of the Jack Bell Gold Mining
company are demonstrating high values
from their numerous claims: much cop
per and gold are being found with con-
tinuous development throughout the
numerous dykes which are i-mpregnated
both in the form of oxides and sui
phides. This company has one of the
richest groups in the section. n In a
short time. with the systematic develop
ment now being in force, shipments will
take place of high results, second -
none in the district.

Around Bell View

Around the town of Bell View in gen.
eral. high assays and paintings in free
gold as well as copper, have been found
Several individuals and corporations
have commenced the developments by
means of shafts and tunnels, and con-
tracts have been made for several hum
dreds of feet of sinking, to prove the
existence and permanency of the ore

huge masses of iron and quartz; the in
dications point to a future of another

masses. If the present values continue
with depth, and there is every reason to
conjecture, from an engineering or
geological point of view, that such will
will make a record not to be excelled by
any previous operations.
1t will be seen, therefore. that there
is ample food for the construction or a
railroad to tap the section mentioned
This road has been commenced. surveys
are being made. and in a short time tsa
country will cause investors to reap tn
profits from what may be truly called
a bona fde mining and commercial prop
osition.
In addition to the various commcr 2ial
and mining propositions mentioned, -
rangements nave been made for the
opening up of certain portions of the
Smith valley for settlers in the way -
colonization; options have been Sc
cured on lands most suitable for ir-igd-
ton; hundreds of acres have been in
cluded in the various properties which
are already under irrigation. and which
are at present yielding large returns to
the owners. These lands will be opened
for settlement among me at a
reasonable price and it will be conceded
that with railway and transportation
facilities, much revenue will result to
those who interest themselves in this
section.

GOLD AND COPPER CAMPS in
THE SMITH VALLEY REGION
George d. James E. M. Reviews the Camps of Buckskin, Bel
View, Wellington and 0thers---Region of Rich
Gold and Copper Deposits

A few miles from the town of Bell
View are situated Kinds Hot springs
southwesterly, the hot and cold waters
OF which are not TO be excelled for cura-
tive qualities in any portion of the
United States; sulphur. iron, arsenic
and other qualities form in combination
in the various springs on different loca
lions on the property, suitable for all
forms of rheumatism and ailments. The
temperature of the hot springs in some
cases is as high as 1S4 degrees Fahr.
Many patients who have sought relief
in the waters of some of the most noted
hot springs and have not succeeded,
have come to the Kinds Hot springs and
have left permanently cured. The area
of this property is about 500 acres. and
the walks and drives therefrom are
most e~xhilarating. Owing to the in
creased population of the different min
ing districts in close proximity to these
springs many improvements are con-
templated, among others being the erec-
tion of a modern hotel, the plans for
which have already been drawn One
of the feature Of the hotel will be the
installing of a system for the taking OF
hot water baths. piped directly from the
springs. The proprietors of these
springs have secured the services OF a
well known hotel man and every effort
will be made to give the patrons or this
resort first class service in every par
ticular and the management will make
IL a point to have reasonable rates at II
seasons of the year. The stages makes
daily connections via Wabuska with the

HAGERMAN WILL
GO To ENGLAND
TO MEET CHAMPION BROAD
JUMPER
Occidental Athlete VIII BE Accom-
panied by Trainer Wadsley, Who
Is to Direct Training Of
Local Track Men

Occidental college and local athletic
circles generally will lose one of the
best athletes that ever donned a spike,
when Percival Hagerman leaves the
Presbyterian institution at the close of
the present semester
In company with Wadsley, the High
land Park trainer, Hagerman will cross
the Atlantic during the autumn season
In order to compete in the great Eng
lish championship races.
The incentive which will send HaS
over the waters is an innate desire to
meet Patrick O'Connor, who holds the
worlds championship In the broad
jump.
Wadsley, who is accounted one of the
best athletic trainers In the country,
will return to England for the purpose
of directing the preparatory work of the
Occidental athlete, with whom he has
been associated during the past few
years.
Southern California track men will
be greatly interested in the outcome of
Hagerman'S attempt to wrest the
championship from the famous, Irish
man, and under the direction of Wads-
ley, who understands the foreign con-
ditions to a nicely, the local man may
be expected to make the best possible
showing against the title holder.
During the past season Hagerman has
been surpa ssing % feet consistently,
and has confidence that he will be able
to egg O'Connor to his greatest effort.
The Occidental athletes record is %
feet AZ inches, made two years ago dur
ing competition with the Pomona col
lege track team.
1t is known that Stanford university
authorities had been dickering with
Wadsley as regarded his accepting a
position with the Cardinal athletic
teams. The recent disaster, however,
has left the situation unsettled and as
result Wsdsley will probably not be
with the varsity at the opening Of the
sc ason.
