MUSHETT, KENDALL AND NC.
sORLEY VISIT THE FAMOUS
MINING CAMP

MOHAWK MuSnett, Snorly
Kendall and Booster Mcsorley-
if that amt a combination to conjure
with, well pass the buck.
Such a triumvirate would incite
the immortal jealousy Of the gods.
And that is the bunch who have indi-
vidually and collectively SHE'D their
casters into the mining game at
Round Mountain within the past fort
night.
When a big, black touring auto
chuggcd into Round Mountain last
Wednesday, bearing the above named
gentlemen, the last chapter of M
of the most important mining deals
ever made in camp was enacted. Ten
thousand dollars of yNe sun burnt"
money Of our Uncle Samuel was
dragged into view and the first pay
ment made on four ciaims located
adjoining the Sunnyside, Great
Western and Sphinx properties.
The original locators we're w. H.
Browne, Eta Hoffman, Max Pannier
and w. n. Snyder. The deal was
made by DR.. Breitstein, A. 7, Spen-
Ger and NJ. D. Baihly.
The Round Mountain Mohawk Min
ing company has been Incorporated
under the laws of Nevada with a
capitalization of 100000 shares at
a pair value Of 81 per share.
l.. L. Mushett has been elected
president Of the company; Zeb Ken
dali, vice-president; Eugene Howell,
secretary; r. C. Moore, treasurer.
These, with j. J. McSorley, constitute
the directorate. The work will be
done under the superintendency OF
Thomas E. McSorley, who opened ur
the Sphinx and the Daisy, and who
is general manager of the latter com
pany. Mr.. McSorley has established
a reputation as a mine manager ant
the new company is much elated oy"i
securing his services, which portendi
good from the start.
The stock of this company will b.
listed on the various exchanges a
soon as the arrangements can b,
made.
From the interest they are taking
in the district it is evident that the.
expect big things doing and are go
ing right ahead with the work il
order that the property will prov
for itself.
In discussing the surface showing
at Round Mountain. Mr.. Kenda'
spoke as follows:
Il have never seen anything lik
1t in all my career in the state, an
| do not doubt for a minute ths
these showings will improve wit
depth. 1t is actual fact that th
ground is fairly alive with the We
low metal, the like of which | hav
never seen. 1t certainly looks goo
to me, and | was surprised ths
there vas SO much ground to be ha
at such reasonable prices. The dii
trict is practically undeveloped an
the showings now present have bee
made with little or no effort. | pr,
diet that when active developmeI
is under way the sensations will TO

Mohawk" Mushett, as he is +
miliarly known since the phenomen
rise in Goldfeld Mohawk, by Whit
he cleaned up in the neighborhoC
of a half a million dollars, speaks
Round Mountain in the most CLOWN
terms. Together with Fred Cha
man, Mr.. Mushett has secured leas
on the Great Western and Dali
properties. Men have been put
work and high grade ore has BEE
taken out from the very grass roo
on both leases. The ore will
run through the Moore Chapmi
mill as fast as it is taken out.
Messrs, McSorley, Mushett al
Kendall are optimistic over Il
ground secured by the Rour
Mountain Mohawk Mining compan
A force of men will open the pro
erty at once, and it is the opinit
of experts that this will soon
one of the big producing mines
the district.
Shorty Kendall is one of t
best known leasers and operators
Southern Nevada. His luck is pi
verbal and a common saying Is th
wherever shorty" Kendall halts
a new district, there gold will
found.
And who in Southern Nevada h
not heard of Booster McSorle
With him to boost is as natural
drinking whisky is to a Kentuckia
Raised in good old Calevaras couni
California. Mr.. McSorley seems
know by intuition where to look I
