RICH GOLD FLOAT.
Prospectors at Mizpah Are HustIine
to Locate Real Source of Wealth.

There is much excitement in the Miz-
pan district over recent finds of rich gold
rock float. In mentioning the fact the
Ely EXpositor last week stated that the
ore assayed $1,000 to the ton That was
d mistake; it was So, 464.5S. and of course
that would drive any camp crazy, as it
has done at Mizpah
The ledge has not yet been located but
it is supposed to be on ground owned
by Banigan & Brady. The float was
found on their Lucky Strike claim. which
reaches to the summit. Every man in
the district il is reliably reported has
been looking for the vein for three or
four days past and they have since
found a dozen or more pieces of this rich
free gold ore.
The spirit of the hunt for the vein was
expressed by one of the prospectors who
is quoted as saying:
I'm find where the stuff comes from
if have to eat all the dirt on this side
of the divide"
And that it will be discovered sooner
or later. there is scarcely a doubt When
it is. look out for a wild stampede and
a mining boom in that district that has
already been demons trated to be a high
grade copper camp.
In a letter TO the EXpOstor T. F Brady
makes these interesting statements:
The rich float showed quite a lot of
free gold and came from a ridge along
which l found seven markers when /
came into the country last summer. Four
hundred feet north of where / found the
markers IS an old fort built upon a flat
rock that cOmmandS a view of the sur
rounding country.
I'm the gulch below there are stumps
Of old trees that we're apparently cut
thirty or forty years ago 1t is prob
able that prospectors were in the coun-
try in an early day and were e.iven out
by the Indians.
I'VE are now trenching to locNe the
source of the rich gold ore and found
another piece of float today that is near
ly One-half gold. Every idle man in camp
is looking for high grade and another
cropping has been discovered on the Cop
per Jack claim that will run over $500
in copper alOne.' Specimens of the ore
are also literally lousy with gold.

SHORTAGE OF MINERS
I'M THE ELY CAMP

The cry for more miners is being heard
in all portions of the district. and de-
spite the fact that the companies are
putting forth strenuous efforts to increase
their working forces. there is still short
age. says the Ely Mining ExDositor.
The Chairman Consolidated Copper
company. controlling the Chairman ana
JOaEa groups and the Aultman mine, is
the latest Ely corporation to appeal for
relief. Although they are now working
fifty men, the management is desirous OF
putting on thirty more.
The Veteran Ely is another company
that is hindeTed in opening up the re
sources of its properties on account OF the
lack of miners. The management has
ninety men on the pay roll and fifty more
could secure jobs. The same condition
of affairs is prevalent among a number
of the other big companies owning
ground within the limits of the recog-
nized mOnzOnite zone
The mining companies here are not the
only ones that are suffering from the I'M
usual labor conditions in this camp. The
Corey Brothers Construction company,
that has the contract for the extension
of the Nevada Northern railroad from the
Star Pointer shaft to the GiFoux Consol-
dated and on to the Veteran Ely, is
complaining of the lack of railroad labor
erS
1t is anxious to secure teamSters, labor
ers and rock men for work on the rail-
road and could give employment to at
least 291 men. The prevailing wages for
work of this character is s. a day.

TULE CANYON PLACERS

The Gateway Placer and Quartz Mining

Dodds. president of the company, and
Captain j. A. Bard also departed for

he has had an extensive experience, says
the Goldfield Chronicle
The placers are to be sluiced. the au-
riferous gravel brought from bed rock

top of the big wash. There is plenty of
water on the bed rock. and a sump will
be sunk and the gravel carried into it..
from where the pump will hoist both
water and sand TO the sluices on the
surface.
On the bed rock are bars of very rich
gravel, containing nuggets of consid-
cradle size, and it is these bars which
are to be worked, the drifts being car

The Blair Press expresses the opinion

ing company, which is to treat the noun

old Blair mines, will be ready to begin
grinding out bullion early in September.

proposition from the instant he secured

which IS expected daily, when there will
be nothing left undone.
The water supply for the plant is to
be drawn from the well at the edge of
the marsh and is ample for all purposes
in fact, the supply would be sufficient for
a plant several times the capacity of the
present one. The well has been sunk 10
depth of fifty feet, the water stand
ing almost at the top. An effort was
made this week TO pump it out that the
foundations for the big pump might be
put IN place. and two pumps of q COM
oined capacity of 800 gallons per minute
were required to produce any appreciable
effect upon the water. A reservoir of
200OO0 gallons capacity will be erected
above the mill and this will be kept filled
al all times.
Elaborate preparations are being made
Tor the start a number of the stock
holders from the east will be on hand
and the big plant will be started off with
considerable ceremony. The progress that
has been made. in the entire works, when
one considers the difficulty ordinarily TO
be met with i'm transportation. is GER
tainly remarkable. No ground was broken
for any part of the plant until after the
first of the year. since which time there
has been erected a structure which we
doubt very much will have any equal IN
mining circles"

AS a result of the many recent mineral
locations, a peculiar condition Of land
affairs has been created at MOdena. The
country hereabOuts thus far has been
surveyed only into townships, and has
never been subdivided. Gfound is being
held by virtue of simple squatters right
No encroachment of these rights has been
tolerated by the initial SQuatters. and this
has operated to keep this point down Z"
its present humble proportions. lndis-
criminate fencing of the public domain
has been a common practice.
Mineral locations having taken up the
present site of the community there is
likely to be peculiar complications, the
one side being just as confident of the
validity of their claims as the other. and
the more aggressive spirit of the mineral
seeker appears to be dominating matters,
as the earlier squatterS realize the super
latiVe advantage of a mineral discovery.
The San Pedro depot. stock yards and
water tank are all included within the
domain of the recent locations. and the
earlier Squatters feel certain that the
