b. f. Bowman, who owns claims sit
uated three miles south of the Ber-
nice Consolidated company's ground
in the Bernice mining district, about
100 miles south of Winnemucca, has
been doing some steady and persist
ent work during the past season. Mr..
Bowman has some specimens OF the
ore which show extremely rich anti
mony. He has completed some 800
feet Of tunnel work this year, besides
open cuts and various other surface
workings showing great amount OF
ore, and that the lcdges are more
continuous than IS usual in antimony
ores. These lodges, while nov so wide
as the immense ledges on the Bcrnice
Consolidated ground, are said to be
more uniform.
l.. G. Mayer, surveyor, has just
completed survey Of the Bowman
property and applcati1rs for patents
will Immediately be made, Sufficient
work having been done on the claim

BULLION MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
NOW HAS GOOD WAGON ROAD

From the Battle Mountain Herald.
The road recently completed be-
tween Battle Mountain and the Bull
lion district has facilitated travel be-
tween the two towns very materially.
Mr.. Alber Kattenhorn, who superin-
tended the building of the new road,
says the route has been not only short
ened, but the passage through the
Shoshone range has been reduced to a
level grade, making as good a noun
tain road as could be desired. The
incline both ways is very gradual,
there are no steep pulls and the alb
rupt ravines which made the old road
almost impossible have all been
avoided. The road will now be pass
able winter and summer.
Here is an opportunity worthy of
investigation by some enterprising
person to operate stage line. The
Bullion district is about % miles from
Battle Mountain, the largest town
within that distance on the railroad.
The merchants here carry large stocks
and are well prepared to handle the
trade of the district, which is devel-
oping rapidly. The travel is gradual
ly increasing, but is limited on ac-
count of the lack of adequate means
of conveyance.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
Mr.. +. j. Jaeger, banker and
prominent business man of Yakima,
Wash and president of the Tr-
Metallic Mining company of Frieburg,
Lincoln county, Nevada, is stopping
at the Wilson hotel. He is here to
consult with Mr. N. A. Doney, who is
here from the mine, in regard to plac-
ing some automobiles upon the road
for the transportation of the ore from
the Frieburg mines to the smelters.
Mr.. Doney is perfectly familiar with
the route, as well as the camp, being
the man who recently brought the old
district of Friehurg to the front. Ex-
perts leave here in a few days with
the president and manager above men
toned, accompanied by prominent
smelter men, to look over the camp in
regard to the amount, grade and char
acter of the ore there.
A carload of ore from the camp
which will net better than $40 per ton
is now on the way here. The crosscut
in the bottom of the shaft in the Tri-
Metallic mine has been driven ten

MANY LEASES LET
AT GOLD BANK
SEVERAL ARE TAKING OUT
ORE FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES
Thousands of Locations Have Been
Made at the New Camp-What
Those Who Have Visited the
Camp Have to Say

The intention of the mine property
owners at Goldbank to develop the
camp by means of the leasing system
is demonstrated in the large
number of leases that have been let
on the choicest property in the dis
trict. AS enumerated in the last is
sue Of the Silver State News, fourteen
leases had been let on the Smith strike
and more were to be had on the an
derson property. News received since
the last issue tell of the letting of a
number of leases on the latter's claims
and in a short time 25 or 30 leasers
will be working at Goldbank.
OF the leases at present working.
only two are working in high grade
ore. These two, near the site of the
original strike, are now working in
shipping ore, and are sacking for
shipment.
Business in the town of Goldbank
is moving along at a good pace.
There are two saloons, a small store
and several other places of business.
The stage to Goldbank that left Win
nemucca Saturday morning took
out many passengers and much freight
for the camp.
j v. Fuller and A. W. Ellis re-
turned from Goldbank Friday even
ing and were most enthusiastic regard
ing the camp. Mr.. Ellis says Gold
bank is camp that will surely make
good, and according to him it deserves
rank in a class with Goldield and
Tonopah. The size of the ore bodies
and the value of the ore are surpris-
ing. J. G. Fuller, a mining man of
considerable experience and judgment,
also speaks very highly of this new
Humboldt county camp. Mr. Fuller
says he is sanguine that this camp will
make another Goldfield David PAYNE,
the diseoverer of Sonoma canyon, has
also visited the district and says he
belives the camp will make good. He
says the country is located for about
four miles around.
The ground about Goldbank is dot
ted with location monuments. The
scene of the original strike is on a
low sloping hill. which ends in long

THE PEDRO NINE IS
PURCHASED

From the Battle Mountain Herald
Unquestionably one of the most
important mining deals ever consum-
mated in the Battle Mountain district
was closed here last Thursday when
changed hands at a price well up in
the five figures.
The property was owned by August
G Lemaire, II. r Lemaire, G. A. Lee
and Don A. Mcdonald. An option
was secured by Morris B. Dudley and
II. c. Christensen, who in turn sold
the property. to j. j. Trimble, of the
firm of Langley, Trimble & Co., of
Tonopah. These gentlemen have in
terested with themJ. J. Rattigan, well
known throughout Pennsylvania as
one of the most extensive steel oper-
ators in that state and man high up
in the financial world. A vigorous
campaign of development is to be
started Immediately and there is ev
cry reason to believe that in the Pedro
Battle Mountain will have another of
the big producing mines of the state.
A company is to be incorporated at
once, large block of the treasury
stock of which is to be taken up by
Pittsburg people, and the balance
in the West. A cyaniding plant is to
be erected for the purpose of hand
ling the ore right on the property.
The work is to go forward under the
personal supervision of G.. M. Corns,
one of the best known mining men
in the United States and an expert of
high standing The advent into this
district of such solid firms as the
Langley -Trimble company is most
propitious The district needs no bet
ter Endorsement.
Quite an interesting and exciting
story attaches to the deal, involving
midnight automobile rides, horseback
trips across the desert, and flying rail
road journeys INDUCED in, in the Sc
curing of the option by Messrs Chris
tensen and Dudley. Mr.. Christensen
was first on the ground, and after a
thorough examination of the prop
erty wired Mr.. Dudley, who imme
diately got busy and interested Mr..
Trimble. A number of parties were
after the property and it was case
of who got there first After a flying
trip from Los Angeles to Tonopah by
train, from Tonopah to Manhattan
and back by auto and horseback and
then to Battle Mountain by train, the
option was secured by Christensen and
Dudley. and Thursday the deal with
Trimble was closed.
Messrs. Christensen and Dudley
were among the first southern Nevada
mining men to recognize the excep-
tional opportunities offered by this
district. Mr.. Christensen, who was
the first to come here, is mining man
of thirty years experience, having
spent 20 years in Shasta county, Cal,
where he Mt one time owned and OPP
Grated the Gold Telluride mine near
Redding, which he later sold to
Clinton Johnson and associates. On
coming to Battle Mountain, the great
possibilities of the district appealed
