ELKO, August 9.-The Elko-Tusca-
rora Consolidated Mining Company
which was recently organized to take
over 1900 acres of lode and $50 acres
of placer ground at T%uscarora, fifty
miles north of Elko, bears the stamp
of one of the largest deals consummat-
ted in Nevada anywher
Among the stockholders are Salt

bic extent by an invoice Of the assets.
Tuscarora was a fourishing camp
many years ago. Between 1874 and
1892 the production of gold and silver
from a section of the district only 5000
feet square, amounted to $50, 600, 900
The original silvor-hearing lodges wers
discovered to have a northerly and
southerly trend of augite andesite.
Later it was learned that the coun.
try was traverscd in an e~asterly and
westerly direction by gold-bearing
porphyry bikes that had a dip to the
north. These dikes were so strong
that in many instances they destroyed
the inedntity of the north and south
veins, and this fact probably %accountsm
for the fact that fifty or more indi
vidual companies found space to oper-
ate a small area.
1t took twenty companies to pro-
duce $50, 000. 900, and only one of them
attained a depth of 700 feet from the
surface, while only one or two Others
reached q depth of 400 feet. Then the
silver slump occurred, the camp declin-
ed and most of the mines were closed.
Nelson, the little Battling Dane, who
is the conquerer of James Edward
Britt and who is acknowledged to be
the lightweight champion of the world,
arrived in Reno from Salt Lake City
this morning, and after spending a
few hours in this city, continued on to
Goldfeld, where he will meet Billy
Nolan and arrange for training qu~
tiers in the southern mining city. Mel
