lTENAbO A CAMP
THAT WILL STAY
Salt Lakers Have Numerous In
terests in Boom Section
of Nevada.
LOCAL TALENT AND
THE FREIGHT QUESTION
Are Running Traction Outfit
That Permits Quick Freight
Delivery.

From Beowawe to the booming camp
i of Tenabo, Nevada, it has been about
twenty six miles by wagon road. The
Bullion transportation company, an ex-
elusive Salt Lake organization, has
built new road between the two
points, making the distance only iwen-
ty-two miles. and crossing this new
highway is a traction engine and train
hauling in freight ana out ores, and an
automobile line carrying passengers TO
and fro. The company is another illus
tration of Salt Lake money and talent
in new Nevada fields. and in the camp
of Tenabo itself are innumcrable prop
critics belonging to Utahns that are
showing most lusty propositions for a
district so young.
p. r. Locker, one of the Salt Lakers
interested IN the above transportation
company, has numerous mining inter
ests In common with others of this city.
Among those interests is lease upon
the Gold Quartz property This lease
is known as the Phoenix, and the own
ers are very near the 200foot level.
Mr.. Locker stated yesterday that at
the lS0foot point, the shaft penetrated
the second ore body for this working
The ore is a rich sulphide, containing
gold and silver, and II is two and one
half feet in width When the 200foot
level is reached. this resource Will be
explored thoroughly.
At the l00foot level, the first ledge
was tapped. The company sent drift
along the same for 130 feet, and in ore
all the way that would average in the
three metals about $50 per ton. The
shaft is equipped with modern hoist
ing machinery, and quick progress will
be the order of the day from now on.
Adjoining the Phoenix lease is the
property being operated by Charles
Schellle, where over two feet of S342
rock has been found This find was
registered within twenty feet of the
Phoenix lines, and as the vein crosses
the latter ground, the Phoenix com.
pany will find it by drifting not over
sixty feet, and at a vertical depth OF
220 feet. The two properties just
mentioned adioin the Grand Victor Ne
ing operated by Salt Lake capital,
With his Salt Lake associates, Mr..
Locker is interested in the Two Wild,
ows property There a shaft is down
To the l00-foot level, and. for the shaft,
machinery has been ordered, At
depth Of seventy feet, and continuous
ly thereafter TO the present level, the
management found the vein, which is
five feet in width, all ore, and with IN
average of So gold. 11,5 per cent cop
per, and Sc ounces silver to the ton.
There arc seven such veins crossing the
Two Widows group, and in addition to
sinking upon the one mentioned, the
company is driving a tunnel TO cross
cut the others in their respective turns,
Mr., Locker states that mining men
agree that Nevada uevcr has presented
district with SO many prospects at
a corresponding age making so gen
erously as Tenabo. The progress of
the camp is retarded only by the lack
OF miners. Several properties are now
contributing ores to the local smelters,
and from the looks of the freight go
ing in, and the ores coming out, Tenabo
appears TO be camp that has come
TO stay,
