| RAWHIDE, New, Nov. 24.-This is GER
tainly wonderful camp and there is moi
another one in the state that can snow
such remarkable progress, and that, TOO
in the face of such adverse conditions as
| the present financial situation.
| The townsite is six weeks old and there
are now between 1900 and 1000 persons in
camp few days since rush was
made down the canyon and Squatter
Town was started with over 100 tents.
and all in half an hour. This was on land
adjoining the townsite and the squatters
Immediately started trading in lots TO
which they had no title. Being mineral
land, the squatters can have no title un-
less the owners decide to make a town
site on their ground and sell the lots.
Rich strikes are being made constantly,
the latest being on the Proskey lease on
Grutt hill. A big crowd soon gathered
to see the wonderfully rich ore, and a
specimen weighing over ten pounds was
shipped to Reno, and it goes from thers
to Chicago. Thirty thousand dollars was
offered and refused for a fractional
claim on Grutt hill adjoining the Pros
key lease.
The Grutt lease on the Balloon claim,
which was owned by the Grutt brothers
| and their associates, has been sold for
$4,000
| A deal was concluded whereby the
Rawhide claim changes owners. The
price is understood to be $4,000. The Ish-
Carson ground is also under option, but
! the price is not known.
| Messrs. Dorsey and Cooper of Goldfeld
have purchased for themselves and asso-
ciates the 4.oseberry group for $4,000.
This price might have been considered
excessive week or more ago, but it is
certainly dirt cheap price today. 1t is
! on this ground that the now famous
Alexander lease is located, and where
they are taking out ore in quantities that
runs 500 and better to the pan, and
where the country rock will go $500 and
UP to the ton.
The lease adjoining this ground on the
south has been purchased by E. West
meyer of Goldfield, who has also secured
an interest in the Silver Steel group of
claims.
| The Lincoln Mining company, owner
of the Nightingale group, end-lining the
Roseberry group on the south, is now
making preparations to give leases on its
| ground and expects to start operations
some time in December.
| Another recent strike is that on the
Alabaster lease on the north side OF
Balloon hill. and was made in the soft
| Wnlte pOrpnyry. Inc pannlngS are e6-
tremely rich and attract many visitors.
| The Murray and De Armand lease on
| the Bald Hornet is also in very rich ore.
They have five feet of ore that will av-
erage over 100 to the ton. They are now
down about eight feet and it is constantly
getting richer.
A large amount of rich ore is being
opened up the lease adjoining them
on the west and also in the lease on
| the east.
There are now about forty leases in
| high grade ore, and at the present rate
of discovery it will not be long before
all the 25O leases of the camp will be in
the high grade.
There are eighteen saloons in camp
and there is very little money in cir
culation, but probably more than in any
other town in proportion to its size
Any ease UP in the money situation
means a tremendous boom here. The
ground is all leased on the following
groups: The Van Dorm or Townsite
group, the Roseberry group, Grutt hill
Dunning hill, Balloon claim and Raw
| hide claim.
