The car was the Idlewild, one Of
the most sumptuously furnished
hotels on wheels in the service of
the Pullman Company, and the
guests were in perfect harmony with
their surroundings. In the number
were some of the most prominent
bankers, brokers and business men
OF Baltimore and Pittsburg, and
other parts of Pennsylvania, the
State of Virginia, and as far away as
Canada; men whose names are not
unfamiliar to the world of finance.
The names are now familiar to the
readers of the Bonanza, for they have
been exploited since their arrival.

The name and fame of Ubehebe is
known wherever copper is dealt in
or is in demand, and that means the
world over. There have been the
best experts of which the copper
world boasts, sent down there to ex-
anime the ground, and there is not
one who has not gone away con-
WINGED that he has seen the most
promising country since the early
days of Butte. The great ledge stand
out boldly, and the copper is visible
to the naked eye for many thousands
of feet. l.. A. Greenley one of the
greatest of experts, says that for a
property which has not been thor
oughly developed, it is the biggest
thing that he has ever seen.
The beauty of the Ubehebe country
is that while it has not been fully
developed, the copper has been traced
over the surface and it has been
proven at depth. One sees the lodges
standing high above the ground on
the top of the mountain, and the
lodges are revealed at depth, by cuts
and tunnels into the hill, and by
shafts which have been sunk, one to
depth of eighty feet Tunnels have
been run in five hundred feet below
the apex of the ledge, and the same
rich stuff has been encountered.
There is one ledge at depth that
has been uncovered in this manner,
which will go twenty per cent, and
it has been developed to a width of
thirty-five feet. Some of the ore
which is found near the surface and
for quite distance below it is as
near the pure quill as has ever been
seen.
Great improvements have been
outlined for the district. A town
site has been laid out at the foot of
Ubehebe mountain, and it is an ideal
location. They are sinking for water
now, with every indication of getting
1t at reasonable depth Should they
not be successful, it will be a matter
OF small expense to pipe water in.
A survey for railroad has been
made from Ubehebe to Bonnie Claire.
which will connect with both the
Clark road and the Brock lines at
that point. Bonds have been issued
for the construction of the road, and
1t Is said that the road will be in on
Grafton in less than year. For the
matter of shipping, it will not ne
necessary to wait the coming of the
railroad. The ore is rich enough to
ship by team to Bonnie Claire, and
this would now have been under way
but for the sudden slump in copper.
Mr.. Salsberry had already shipped In
ten thousand ore sacks, and was
about to commence getting returns
when 1t was announced that the
smelters would not receive any more
ore.
Since that time the financial stu
alton has changed, and copper is on
the up grade, with the demand in
creasing. Millions of dollars worth
of the metal have been bought for
foreign shipment, and it is only a
question of time when the smelters
must again get busy and then will
the first shipment go out of Ubehebe
