BACK FROM GOOD SPRINGS.
Charles Lundberg Gives His impress
sions of Southern Camp.

Charles Lundberg, formerly mine su-

yesterday morning from n trip into
the Good Springs country, in southern
Nevada, where he went to size up con-
ditiOns generally and particularly TO
make an inspection of the Shenandoah
lead properties in which Samuel New
house has become interested with
Judge J. w. Burton and others. With
the property as a prospect Mr.. Lund-
berg was favorably impressed. There
is a great deal of ore already exposed
in the property, and If it is demon
strated that the mines go down, as he
thinks it viii be, not only the Shen-
andoah but a number of other prop
critics located in that region are going
to turn out big mines. A strong lime
belt traVerses the country for a long
distance and its texture is such that
great bodies of ore ought to make i'm
it. The ore near the surface is largely
a sand carbonate and, Vhile not SEN
satfonally high-grade, il should pay
handsomely TO move to the new smelt-
ing works that are going up this sea-
son at Good Springs. The owners are
now developing the ground in a sys-
tematfc manner and results of moment
are confidently expected.

A strong com bination Of local oper-

district, Nevada, in the formation Of
the Nevada Gold Mining company.
1t has been incorporated under the
laws of Arizona and copies of the ar

proprietor Of the Wilson hotel, is treas
urer and A. H. Letter is secretary. The
other directors are c.. H. Morrison, j.
y. Largent and G. G.. GOss.
The company owns. without tncum-
brance Of any character. a group OF
five claims which were located by Mr..
Morrison and upon which the develop
nent work TO date has been by him
performed. They are located short
distance southeast of the town of CreS-
cent and close to the famous Tiger
mine, which has shipped considerable
rich ore. The railroad that is to be
shortly built from Nipton. on the Salt
Lake Route, TO Searchlight, has been
surveyed right across the claims Of
the Orc company and before the pres
ent year is over It is certain that cars

The camp of Crescent is located only
about FIVE miles from the line Of the

II was only about year ago that any
attention was directed TO Crescent. but
the camp is now just beginning to
