The property of the Walker Lake, indian Reservation Mining Company consists of three
quartz mining dams known respectively as the "BuHrg Dutchman "RhyoHte Dutch
man" and "ComdockD uchnan" together with 100 acres of placer land known as the
Nome Beach Group" with which is held a Nome Beach water right I'll located on October
Tn. three quartz cams referred to are situated about two miles West from the shore
of Walker Lake and undoubtedly fom an extension of the famous Dutchman nme, being in
the same mineral belt and extending in a direct line therefomL Two of them, the Bulfog
id giving small assays in gold and silver showing abundant evidences the existence
of copper in great amounts specimens of cope ore taken this dyke will yield from ten
to twenty per cent copper and this bt few feet below the surface Thatd development to
depth Will demonstrate the existence of large bodies of rich cope ore is the belief of
compdan mining men who are acquainted with the property.
The Rhyohte Duchman crosses the center of thu Bunfog Duchnan at almost a right
angle and on this cm is found a quartz vein of at ease fifty feet width which upon the
surface yields paintings of free gold indhingb eefh that with development it shalt prove
a profitable miIhng proposition for gold.
In general may be said that these dams are located on the conhet between popyry
and granite and of their mmaneme and continuity there can be no doubt
Timber frm mining purposes is abundanty supplied by the dense growth OF Pnon
whchc covers nota alone these the caims but the entire mountain sides for miles IN all
directions Water for mining purposes as well as domestic a viii be supplied b. the
Nome Beach waer right controlled by hsc company
Tranporaho for ores from the mines to the milstes will b. provided first by pack
trains later by ael tramways leading from the mine to the shores of Lake Walker
The Nome Beach Group of Placer Claims consists of eight claims EACH of twenty as
and Stuaedu upon the West shore of Walker Lake at the ouho of Nome Canyon, immedi
aty bdw the mine Md distant abouto one mile south from Dutch Creek Sufficient placer
gold has been found on this group to warrant the opinion thtp portions of it can be profit
ably nine by ground dumng or hydraulic methods, oherp portions of this group are being
plated as the townstes sand as the location of the property is admirably situated with refer
ecet to the largest known mines of the Walker Lake District it seems reasonable to pre-
sumo that tow of considerable proportions wills soon be built here That usl locality will
be in demand for mIstesa and reduction works frh handling of ores from the various mines
in Dutch Creek, seems assured fort the reason that transportation from the mines to this
point is easier than would be the case anywhere else. Another advantage is the fact that
the Nome Beach alter right located abouta mile and a hall up Nome Canyon will supply a
grm deal of power as well as pued drinking water because a pipe line can be easily con
stuctedl leading from the Springs down tn mountains to the Lake Shores and there Utilized
to operator pumps or electrical machinery by means of which thep power for all purposes scan be
generated.
