talists and their engineers have come
from the east and the south, have
gone to Ubehebe and come away en-
Unused and scarcely able to express
their admiration at the wonders that
met their gaze.
And the mines are getting better
every day, for the work of develop
ment has never ceased since Jack
Salsberry, with his wonderful energy
and hustling ability, got into the
country. And now San Francisco,
which has strong feeling of kim
ship for this section of the country,
has caught the fever, and a party of
five capitalists are coming in this
morning to go from here to the
mines, to look them over, to satisfy
themselves of the truth of all they
have heard, and to carry back the
news of what they will see.
Ray Baker, who is interested with
Mr.. Salsberry, came in from Ubehebe
last night and will probably return
this afternoon with the San Fran
cisco party. He and Mr.. SaIsberry
went to the mines several days ago,
and the mining man of Tonopah is
still down there. He is as much en-
Unused over the prospects as any
stranger who ever went into the
country. He has already spent for.
tune out of his own pocket, nearly
$150,000, before he ever asked any
one else to aid him in its develop
ment, and is ready to spend more.
Mr.. Baker rarely enthuses over any
thing; he let's the district do it's own
| talking, and this it does out of the
| mouths of others. But he says that
Jack Salsberry is SO enthused over
the proposition that he can hardly
tear himself away from the mountain.
I'VE are getting ready to make our
first shipment of lumber into Ube-
hebe," said Mr.. Baker, "and we will
soon send out from Rhyolite two
fourteen-mule teams. Mr.. Salsberry
remained behind to perfect the plans
for more active operations, which are
to be set in motion right away. He
is also going to perfect details for
the tunnel site, and put everything
under way in earnest. He will prob
ably remain in Ubehebe for several
days"
With Mr.. Baker came A. v. Gill
bingham, who was formerly with the
Tonopah Mining Company, and who
has been at Ubehebe for the past
three or four weeks. He comes away.
like all the others, enthused beyond
measure. He was asked by Eastern
people who are interested in getting
into the country, and he will have
some very mig, reports to make to
them. Mr.. Gillingham's father is the
auditor of the Pennsylvania Railway.
and is one of those who sent him
here.
1T is hard for me to express an
opinion of Ubehebe," said Mr.. Gill
bingham. II am not a mining expert.

the wealth of the country. 1t is a
the longer he stays there the longer
he wants to remain. 1t would prob
ably nc an eXaggeration to say that
they have mountain of ore there,

press it.
There are gItat groupings on the
J surface, and you can trace them all
the way down the mountain. Tun-

go, and some of the assays l have
seen are wonderful. The camp GER
