NEvADA'S NEW
COPPER CAMP
Wild Excitement Is on East of
South End of Walker
Lake.
SALT LAKE MEN IN SWIM
GET PROPERTY AND ORGANIZE
A POWERFUL COMPANY.

Wild excitement has broken loose as a
result of the discovery of mammoth Lodges
OF rich copper ore five or six miles north
ana little west of Acme, a small station
on the Colorado & Carson railroad. and
directly east Of the south end of Walker
lake As was the case at Yerington, Salt
Lake and other Utah talent was early on
the ground and one of the choicest blocks
OF ground in the new district, which is
cdlled flttIng. after one of the first To-
Gators, has been landed, and powerful
company has been organized to operate
II Before talking about the district and
us characteristics. let's introduce you to
the titan crowd that has drawn one of
the first prizes
The Utah EsmeraIda Copper company
mas Just been organized with a capital of
81, 100000, in 81 shares. OF the total num-
Der of shares 10000 have been placed in
Ine treasury, the balance going to the
owners of the property. The first aliot-
ment of 10000 shares of treasury stock is
being subscribed at twenty-five cents 4
share. William NJ. Roylance, Of Provo,
is president; ]. T. Hammond, ex-seeretary
of state, vice president; L. o. Taft, man
aser of the z. c. NJ. /. at Provo, is treas
urer, and j b. Jensen. field representative
of the United States Mining company, is
general manager The other directors are
w H Ray, the Provo banker S. A. King
and L. NJ Stohl.
The com oany owns fourteen claims in
the district, five miles from the railroad,
son stated yesterday afternoon that he
would have the first car of ore shipped
within three weeks from today. The ledge
on the property is fissure in granite, 10
feet wide, and the slight amount OF work
already done justifies Mr.. Jensen in the
statement that the first car of ore will
average at least 10 per cent copper, with
some silver.
Mr. Roylance and Mr.. Jensen returned
from the property and trip to Yerington
only three or four days ago, and tWo
the proposition it would be hard to find
In a days travel. Mr.. Jensen has been
all over the camps of Nevada and Cali
fornia during the past two years and he
declares that he has never seen any such
a surface showing in any OF Them Seven
to fifteen per cent copper ore is almost
too common TO talk about, as the strikes
being made daily show any amount OF 90
per cent ore, with every body discussing
Is per cent averages.
The original discoveries were recently
made by w. ]. Shocks, Alfred Wallace
and Martin Fitting, and the district,
which is named for the latter, is now
fully organized and being invaded by hun
and doing development work, while others
are buying in. The camp is counted upon
the eclipse either Ely or YeringtOn, and
Nevada papers are going into thigh
strikes over the news that IS rolling out.
President Roylance and Manager Jen-
son of the new company state that the
property owned will be equipped with ma
chinery at once and that no time will be
lost in getting down to a campaign OF
heavy production Manager Jensen Will
leave for camp on Sunday.

LEAD KING PROPERTY
AT DUCK CREEK, NEV.

Provo. March III. F. Brim. the vet
eran Ely and Duck creek mining man and
the principal owner in the Lead King and
the Lead Bullion Mining companies, In
addition to which he has other large in
tereSts in White Pine county, is in on
one of his periodical trips. He brings
most encouraging reports of Ely and Duck
Creek and of the Lead King mine, from
which ore running from % to 50 per cent
lead is being taken out. and which has
hundreds of tons of this class of ore in
sight in the Morning Star drift
The Gray Eagle incline on a different
vein from that of the Morning Star is now
in sixty feet and the same kind of ore
has been encountered in large quantities.
The two veins dip toward one another
and it is fully expected they will join in
large body of ore.
The ore is being sacked ready for ship
ment as soon shipping facilities can be
obtained, and the 10 TO 20 per cent lead ore
is being piled on the dump till the big
Steptoe valley smeiter, now in course of
erection, is ready TO handle it The COM
pany has fifteen claims and have the old
est and best developed claims in the dis
trict. from which ore was shipped years
ago.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR ORE
IN THE GIBRALTAR

RhyOlite, New. March 13.-The mys-
terry that has been snrouding the opera
tons at the Gibraltar mine on Bonan-
IA mountain during the past three
weeks. when visitors were barred from
the workings. was cleared up this week
with the arrival on the ground Of j. r.
Wier of New York.
Mr.. WieF, who is one of the priuciDaI
owners of the property. and a member
of the firm of Wier Brothers of New
York, paid a visit to the mine the
morning after his arrival in southern
Nevada and after his return from the
property was clOseted with John A.
Largent, who represents the Paw in
terests of Nevada and the Governor
Watres interests of Philadelphia in
Rhyolite.
After the conference il developed that
Wier had come west in response to a
telegram from the mine superintendent
reporting the opening of vein of &c.
O0e rock in the Gibralter workings.
AS soon as Largent and Wier held
their conversation, both men began to
purchase of GibTalter stock from local
holders, and within a few hours large
blocks of the stock were bought in.
Even before the discovery the Gibral-
ter was one of the best properties in
the Bullfrog district, as the railroad is
within 200 yards of the dump, where
hundreds of tons of ore are stacked
awaiting shipment to the Salt Lake
smelters.

eral manager. Preparations are being
made for a vigorous campaign of de-
velopment III both groups of claims
during the present year and work
which Is now being done entirely by
hand, viii be FASTENED by the installa-
ton Of compressor plants and power
drills Manager Cowan mas had a
great deal of experience ia the cop
per camp of Butte, and he is enthusiast
lie over the prospects which the new
cempany's holdings presents. He will
give the enterprise his personal at
tention from this time until he has
made a big producer of the properties.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Eastern Panicky Conditions Are Re-
fieeted in Local Trading.

Eastern market conditions were reflect
ed in the trend Of the local market yes
terday to an appreciable extent. With
the exception of a few supported spe-
cal traders patronize the eastern mar
kets and, while most of this class of
trading is done by conservative and strong
operators who had previously discounted
the terrific slump that is now going on,
some have been caught, and sales of 10
cal stocks have been imperative in order
that outside holdings might be protected.
Strongest stocks have had to go and
buyers have taken advantage of the ne
ceSsities of sellers. With the eastern fur
~ over. however, every one of the weak
ones will recover, for the intrinsic worth
is behind them.
During the two regular and open board
calls a total of 1880 shares of stock,
with a selling value of $4S 0655 go changed
hands, the list of final quotations and
record of sales made being as follows:

ter's dividend has been earned, while

listing Of this stock, has been forward
ed and the expectation is that trading
in it will be shortly authorized. Mis-
cradle roads are Just now interfering a
little with the shipment of ore and
concentrates, but tie usual output is
being maintained and the product
stored in the great bins. The mine is
reported to be looking better than ever,

going vigorously on.
The regular monthly dividend of the
Utah Mine company was declared yes
terday afternoon. 1t is for $1,000, or &c
share, and payment is TO be made on
the 21st, with transfer books TO close

pany pays within a day or two after
closing the books. but this month a lit
tie more time is taken because of the
absence of the secretary at the mine.
An extra heavy carload of ore has
Just been shipped from the railroad
leading station of Oasis, and the man.
agement is counting upon it's bringing
in the neighbOrhoOd of $4,000. The new
moist and other machinery for the

mine from Oasis and, as a great deal of
lumber and other material had previ-
ously gone in ii will not be long till the
company's new works are completed
and in commission.
