'sCOTTY' APPEARS
IN NEVADA CAMP

The Beatty Miner announces that
Walter Scott, alias "Scotty" or Death
Valley Scotty," walked up the streets
of Rhyolite the other day. His belt of
cartridges was strapped about his
waist, rifle slung by his saddle, his
red neektie hung over his blue shirt, a
long overcoat wrapped about his
stout frame. Withal he was the typical
hero, or villain, it might be hard Off
hand to say which. of western melo-
drama. His face is sunburned and
flushed, partly from the nervous excite
ment attendant upon the notoriety he
creates, partly natural. He, however
looks you In the eye and says he has
given orders TO his men and the deputy
sheriffs who guard his chimney OF $40 a
pound ore to command any intruders
on his mine to stand off. and II they
don't stand off, to kill. Then he orders
drinks for all in the house. He is
smartest when he drinks, he says. All
this secrecy, he states, is to protect
himself from the grasping desires Of
another type of worried humanity in
New York city who originally grub
staked him, discontinued the grubstak-
ing and now wants 10 get the half or
more OF the alleged mine. In the mean
while Scotty spends wads of money in
plain sight and says II am at the
wheel; let them guess"

Strike Near the MaytIower

A strike was made this week on the
northwest slope of Quartzite mountain,
about three-fourths of mile east of
the Mayflower. The pan shows a good
string of colors from quartz groupings
on the Little Ruth claim and the Los
Angeles Bullfrog Mining company's
ground adjoining. The strike was made
by tracing up occasional small colors
in the gulch below. The groupings of
the ledge where the gold is now found
are half way up the side of the noun
tain. The ledge appears to have broken
over here and it is expected at any
time to run into the vein in place. The
strike will lend increased interest to
all operations in the vicinity. j. r..
Bryan of Rhyolite and c. A. Case of
Los Angeles are the owners of the Lit
tie Ruth and Mr.. Bryan is also the
principal owner of the Los Angeles
Bullfrog Mining company. #. II. Stick
new of Bullfrog is also a large stock
holder. They are much elated over the
strike.

DIAMOND MINES
SEEN BY EXPERTS
Notable Gathering of Veterans from
the Sparkling Fields of South
Africa In Butte
County

OROvILLE, March S1.-It was a
meeting of the experts-mining experts
when G. L. Rickard, familiarly
known as "Tex" Rickard, talked dia-
monds with M. j. Cooney, w. II. Lang,
j. A. Christie, c. A. Morse and F. M.
Ballard \ The majority of the experts
had been in South Africa. All discussed
with interest the diamonds from the
Cooney fields.
"Oroville is the greatest ever" says
TEX" Richard II wish that could
stay here for a month. How they can
keep this town from going ahead is be-
yond me. When God made this earth
he generally put gold away off in some
desert, where there is not green
thing of any kind for miles around. 1t
is generally either hot enough to roast
a person or cold enough to freeze him.
In OroVille, however, everything is diff
ferent. You can pick oranges going
and coming from work. never saw a
place like it-gold, oranges, olives,
grapefruit, climate-everything. 1t
beats the world for a mining town"
This is Mr.. Richards opinion of Oro-
vile. He had visited the Oroville dia-
mond mine and had washed out the
first pan of alluvial and the result was
three black diamonds were taken out
Having been in South Africa. Mr.. Rick
ard at once recognized the diamonds.

CAPITALISTS TAKE
OVER BADGER MINES

Well-known Tonopah and San Fran
cisco people have taken over the Badger
group of claims in the Wonder mining
district. The purchasers Of the prop
erty we're: J. w. SHELTON, d. s. Cohn,
c. r.. Maunder and II. A. Jewell, all
of Tonopah; Joseph Enzensperger, r.
y. deb. Lopez of San Francisco and
w. E. Wolverton Of Wonder, New.
The property consists of FIVE claims,
located about 5000 feet northwest of
the Spider and Wasp mine, and is In
the line of the rich lodges of that vicin-
ity. No work has been done on this
ground outside of the location work,
but the ground is covered by good
quartz croppings and has splendid
speculative possibilities. The price of
the property was $4,000. the greatest
portion of which was In cash.
A company will be incorporated to
work this group and will be known as
the Badger Wonder Mining company
Active operations will commence at
once and the property will be in charge
of Charles Maunder, who is well known
in Tonopah.
The officers of the company will be:
Louis Schloss, president; r. 70. deb
Lopez, who is very wealthy English
man of San Francisco, vice president
and ]. w. Shelton, secretary and treas

TRIES TO KNOCK
OUT HIS BRAINS
BR00DS OVER F0LLIES UNTIL
INSANE
Butts His Head Against Stone Walls
Of Prison, and When Restrained
Tries to Tear Flesh with
Finger Nails

Driven insane by constantly BROOD
ing over his wrecked life, John An
drews, 40 years of age, attempted to
end his life by butting his brains out
against the walls of one of the cells in
the city jail yesterday afternoon and
was only prevented after a desperate
fight with jailers and TRUSTEES.
The man was taken to the receiving
hospital, where 1t was necessary to
place muffs on his hands and tie him to
the bed in order to prevent him tearing
himself to pieces with his finger nails.
Later the insane man was taken TO
the county hospital, where he will be
examined today and probably will be
sent to the insane asylum.
When examined at the receiving hos
ptal it was found Andrews had In
flicted a severe scalp wound upon him
self and had also cut deep cash above
his LEFT eye. nhe blood streamed from
his wounds, covering the clothing Of his
captors. 1t was only after the most
desperate fighting the TRUSTEES were
able to bind his arms and feet.
Resists His Rescuers
Andrews is well known to the ply
sicians at the receiving hospital. About
two weeks ago he was found roaming
the streets and uttering loud cries. HIS
was arrested and taken to the Jail, but
a few hours later became so violent he
was removed to the hospital and
strapped to a bed. In some manner his
bonds became loose and Andrews sue
ceeded in tearing his left eye in such
manner it was thought for a time he
would lose his sight
The following day he was taken to
the county hospital but last Thursday
was discharged from that institution as
cured.
Early yesterday morning word was
received at the police station that some
man was acting in a peculiar manner
on Los Angeles street. A patrolman
was sent to investigate, and found An
drews standing near a corner shouting
at the top of his voice and waving his
arms. He was brought to the station,
and during the remainder of the night
was quiet and well behaved. Yesterday
afternoon he again became violent, but
when efforts were made to lead him to
the hospital he broke from the hands
of his captors and endeavored to kill
himself.
Andrews is said by the police to have
at one time been a skilled mechanic and
engineer, competent to draw the best of
salaries and always commanded the
respect of his fellow workmen. He is
} said to have become addicted to the
: use of intoXicants, and soon his mind
gave way until he became a tramp.
At periods he Is rational, and during
: those times he means of his hard luck
2 and becomes morose and sullen. 1t is
thought with proper care he will in time
regain his right mind and be able to
again take his place in the ranks with
! his fellow men.

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR GREENWATER
Predictions Made That the Camp Will
Become One of the Greatest
Copper Districts Known
to Miners

Regarding the future of Greenwater
writer, has the following to say:
"There are better copper showings
on the surface in Greenwater district
than in Ely, Nevada, at depth of 300
feet.
"There are also gold lodges here of
which people now have no idea, but
they will be discovered and become
big producers.
"I have never seen a more highly
mineralized section, and it certainly
has a great mining future before it,
~ expect to see five cities grow up
within the next five years between
Greenwater and Ash Meadows.
"There are vast deposits of copper
here beyond a doubt. but the really
big bodies may not be found until a
depth of 1900 feet is reached"
George A. Bethune, the well-known
mineralogist, who visited Greenwater
several weeks ago and investigated the
district quite thoroughly, in an inter-
view says:
"I was certainly surprised and agree
ably so, at what l saw at Greenwater.
Sufficient money is back of Green
water district to make 1t the largest
copper camp In the world II they con-
tluue 10 HHu ore 40 uSptn IL BdlhSu'

tire world are united in believing Will

three years to prove up the camp alb

sink 20OO-foot shaft to prove up their
properties. and this will demonstrate
to certainty that the ore in at least
portion OF the large copper district
goes down. The water situation viii

WEALTH OF MANY MINES In SEARCHLIGHT|

Good progress Is reported on the Ma
1estic Goldfrog, adjoining the Gold
Beam, which properties are under the
superintendency of P. S. Sayles. The
shaft on the Ute claim is now down 55
feet and has been in ledge matter for
considerable distance. At 40 feet some
water was encountered, but not suff1-
cient to necessitate any preparation
for caring for it. In the vein now opened
by the shaft some good mineral is
showing and it is growing better with
every foot of work.
Within the next few weeks the 10
horsepower engine and hoist for the
Gold Beam will be delivered at the
property and the development work
mapped out for this property will be-
gin in earnest. Sinking will Immediate
ly begin and the shaft will be sent to
the water level. Recent developments
In this immediate vicinity have excit-
ed great interest, as every foot of work
performed shows the presence of large
ore bodies. Even with shallow work.
ings the showing is sufficient to war
rant the prediction that this territory
will rival some of the best finds made
in the entire district, and the next
six months will show great trans
formation.

prosecuted. 1t has been the policy OF
the management to open up the prop
erty on an extensive scale before be-
ginning production, and in all $50 feet

tered in faulting, but this has been
overcome and the ore bodies again re-
covered. AS the present workings are
extended greater prospects of big pro-

WONDER STRIKE
IN COPPER MINE

Mining men at Globe, Ariz., are still
trying to get through their heads the
vastness of the sulphide strike on the
fourteenth level of the Old Dominion
mine. and are seemingly just beginning
to realize that 1t is the greatest ore
strike ever made in the history OF the
red metal, which is older than civiliza-
tion. It was reported that the ore
body had been penetrated to a breadth
of seventy-three feet, with still no
indication OF a wall or other boundary
of the ore body. In addition to this,
the ore is growing richer the farther

GREAT RESERVOIR
TO SUPPLY WATER
BULLFR0G MILLS WILL BE
SERVED
New Company May Be Incorporated
for a Million Dollars and Part
Of the RhyoIite Supply
Diverted

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 31.-Dr. w.
S, Phillips of Chicago and Beatty and
Malcolm Mcdonald, the Nevada mining
operator are at the head of a move
ment to build a great reservoir at
Beatty to supply the contemplated mills
of the Bullfrog district and to furnish
water to the towns of Lee, New, and
Lee, Cal, as we'll as the mines OF the
Funeral range of mountains.
DR.. Phillips has just returned from
Los Angeles in company of w. q.
Cooper of the Nevada National bank,
John Conlious of Tonopah, Edward
Tingle of Philadelphia and j. e. Meyer
of the Central Securities company of
Los Angeles.
These are the men who are interested
in the new water proposition.
The new company probably will be
Incorporated for 100000 with w. G..
Mosher of Salt Lake, who Is in the
southern Nevada mining country, on its
board of directors.
| 1t Is planned to divert part of the
water supply which Is now run directly
to the town OF Rhyolite and the Mont
| gomery- Shoshone mine into great
reservoir above the town of Beatty
and from this to run supply pipes to the
various mines and mills of the Bull
frog district.
1t is also planned to tap the Lee dis
trict across the Amargosa desert will
the supply. The distance from Beatty
to Lee is but twenty-five miles and al
the present time the residents of Lee
are hauling their water distance OF
sixteen miles from Rose well.
The flow of the Beatty water to the
middle of the AmarROSa desert will be
by gravity and more than one-half of
the remaining ten miles will be over
come by the enormous head that the
water will have obtained on the drop
to the reservoir and by the flow to
the center Of the Amargosa desert.
In speaking of the project DR.. Phil
| lips said: 1.-THE only thing that Ne
vada needed when the mines were first
discovered to make it a great country
was water and transportation, and now
that the railroads are in and can bring
in pipe and machinery there is no rea-
son why the water that Is going to
waste at Beatty should not be utilized
in the mines.
I'VE have strong company and the
fact that we control the water situa-
ton makes it practically certain that
we will have big mill and smelter in
! the district within a very few months.
"As soon as Beatty railroad day is
over, and that will be about April Is,
1 will go east with Mr.. Mcdonald in
his car and bring out number of
eastern operators whom 1 have inter-
ested in this country.
1.-THE water proposition is only one
! of many big deals that we now have
on hand and within very few months
l expect to see Beatty as large as
Rhyolite"

Railroad to Be. Built

BEATTY, New. March 31.-The To-
nopah & Tidewater railroad, which is
the Borax Smith extension of the Santa
Fe, will be completed through Amar-
gosa canyon soon. according to a state
ment made by General Superintendent
John Ryan. Mr.. Ryan also stated that
the road would reach the Lila c. mine
by June l. This will bring the road
within eighteen miles of Greenwater.
From Greenwater the road will be
rushed to Beatty, Rhyolite, Goldheld
and Tonopah.
The T. & r. railroad Is now using six
locomotives and is doing a heavy
freight business. Many new mining
camps are springing up along the new
Borax railroad, silver Lake is the
largest town on the line at present.

SEARCHLIGHT, New, March 81
Estimating that for the next six months
mining development in the Searchlight
district equals that for the six months
just past the production of Lincoln
county bids fair to outstrip any other
portion of the state.
During the past six months some $50
mining companies have come into ex-
istence in the district, the majority by
purchase of promising prospects and
others through location. In every in
stance good surface showings have
been encountered, and despite the short
period elapsing between acquisition of
territory and perfection of organization
vast majority of these concerns have
prosecuted considerable development.
There are few instances where work.
ings have gone below 200 feet, and these
workings have demonstrated primarily
the possibilities underlying the sur
face.
To date no effort has been made to-
ward production; in fact, with the
present development, this would not
be possible on any extended scale, rs
in a majority of instances the work
ings have only served to display the
dimensions of ore shoots and lodges
and give some idea Of their per-
manency. Thus it might be said thai
mining in and around Searchlight is lr
it's infancy, despite the fact that a num-
ber of good mines capable of producing
great wealth have been developed OF
| this small scale.
| Each day reports of new and rich
| strikes come in from every quarter oi
| the district, yet one hears little of ship
ments. This is occasioned by the lack
of smelling facilities, each company or
individual miner preferring to place his
or their property on producing basis.
The Stanley Forbes Is being made
into a producing mine as rapidly as
men and material can make it so. The
present workings have demonstrated
that the rich find made several weeks
ago Is developing greater richness as
we'll as a larger ore deposit, and the
winze sunk In the tunnel to explore
the shoot at greater depth is in rich
ore all the way. The company is de-
veloping with the aim of blocking out
large ore reserve before attempting
to treat the ore. AS yet there has been
no material change in the character of
the ore encountered in the main tun-
mel, save as to quality, and prepara-
tions will be made to handle this class
of mineral in the mill as soon as suf-
| ficient ore is blocked out to warrant
starting treatment. Some, rock en-
countered in the winZe shows fabulous
richness, and while the entire ledge
does not carry the bonanza values,
there is a streak on the footwall that
will warrant shipment by express.

Electric Pbwer for Mines

That the Trinity Copper company
intends to do some active work in and
about the famous Shasta King mine is
no more forcibly indicated than by the
fact that the company has just closed a

Bold Prediction Made That Southern
Camp viii outstrip All Other Min
eraI Sections in Great Gold Pro-
ducing State of Nevada

this week, where they made a careful
examination of the present workings,
has given rise to speculation as to the
program being mapped out by this
company. 1t is belived a survey is
being made for the Duplex Extension
vein, which is known to traverse the
property coming from the west, and
also data gathered as to the location
Of rich surface outcrop, which dips
into the property from the north. and
which shows great values from the
grass roots. Though nothing was
given out, 1t was limited that this COM
pany will soon begin the sinking Of one
of the deepest shafts in the district,
and as it courses downward will drive
directly for the big ore body coming
from the Duplex. There are now pres
ent in the shaft several promising
stringers, none of which, however, are
considered the ore body sought, al
though they carry good values and
give promise of producing much val-
liable ore.
! The recent strike on the Searchlight
Belle is showing better with each addi-
tional foot of development. Paintings
on the pay streak give values running
better than $50 per ton and the miner
allied zone is widening as the shaft
approaches water level. The ledge,
the appearance of a we'll defined fis-
sure, and when drifting is prosecuted
both ways along the vein some esti-
mate of the value of the find can be
made. At present the owners of the
property are content with continuing
the shaft downward and will not at
tempt to explore the find until suffi-
cient depth is attained to insure heavy
production and plenty of stopping
ground.
The SearchIieht Midas
With added equipment and every IA
cilityJ for rapid development the
Searchlight Midas is fast assuming the
properties of mine. The additional
depth contracted for is destined to add
large and highly mineralized zone to
the already good looking ore tapped
when the first hundred feet was fin
ished. A number of rich stringers cut
in the downward progress of the shaft
are widening and give indication of
great richness as they draw near the
point of conveyance, where the main
ore body is known to exist. Prepara-
ton has been made to take care of the
water which is hoped to be encountered
at the 250-foot level.
