NOTES FROM THE NEW DISTRICT
What Returning comstockers Have to
Say Of the Situation There

trict in the northeastern part OF this
county shows no signs of abatement
and returning Comstockers speak fav-
orally of it's becoming as important
in the mining world as the camps in
the southern part Of the State.
Warden Considine returned from
there yesterday accompanied by r. NJ.
Johnson. Johnson has been prospect
ing in the vicinity of the new find
the past five years and the fact that
Mr.. Considine sent Johnson back
again this morning with ample sup
plies for an active campaign and a.
dozen notices of location indicates
the excitement is based upon merit.
Hearst is the name selected by
Messrs. Considine and Johnson for the
district where they intend posting
their location notices and Examiner,
Journal and other papers owned by
Mr. Hearst were chosen as names for
their claims. A sample of quartz
shown last evening by the Warden
nearly a third of which was gold,
created a momentary sensation until
his attention was called to number
posted on the specimen indicating
that its latest habitat had been a min
eral cabinet. Other samples brought
in from the district by the same gen.
tleman showed high values.
Mr.. Considine says that Ramsey's
camp is about Is miles from the Com
stock and that the going is good all
the way. He has visited a goodly
number OF southern Nevada mining
camps in the last two years, but says
that without a doubt the region of
the new find is the most accessible
of all There are no steep grades at
any point on the road and there is
very little sand, especially after half
the distance has been accomplished
The district itself is an ideal one
for a camp in more respects than one
The climate conditions are favorable
the temperature being several degrees
warmer than that of the Comstock
at this season There is plenty of
willow, juniper, cedar. cottonwood and
wild rose, indicating the presence of
ample moisture.
There are wells and springs every
where and there is scarcely a spot on
the desert where water can not be
found at a depth of six feet, and the
water is of excellent quality.
Another circumstance favorable to
campers and prospectors is the pres
ence of bunch grass in unlimited guam
titles making the feeding of stock
a matter of little bother and no eX
pense.
The country is highly metalliferous
mineralbearing lodges being unusua,
ly numerous. Mr.. Considine says The
lodges and groupings remind him very
much of Manhattan, which in this re
gard is the most promising Of any
camp in southern Nevada.
He did not see the Ramsey mine
in which the now-celebrated strik;
was made, but he personally encoun
tered many specimens of float tina
will run into the tens of thousands
He also viewed many lodges from
which samples indicating the preva
lence Of pay ore have been taken. H,
