CAMP NOW
DRAWING CAPITAL

Regent is a new camp not general
ly known, yet IL is creating a great
deal of interest among the prominent
mining men who have latNly gone to
the camp. 1t lies from 16 to 20
miles east OF Schurz. Nevada, Schurz
being located at the north end of
Walker Lake and within the Indian
reservation.
Nash, Cushman and Ish have a |
magnificent property and are now
sacking high grade shipping ore from |
their shaft at 1875 feet in depth. This
property is located north of what is |
generally known as Sugar Loaf
mountain and joining it are many
very promising prospects showing
outcropping Lodges carrying excep-
tionally rich values at the surface.
Just a little east of this property is
what is known as the camp of Raw
hide. The formation is principally
lime and porphyry. One property,
formerly owned by Mr.. Snowgoose,
an assayer living at Schurz, has with
in the past few days shown up some
wonderfully rich ore. A little string
er at the surface widened out to az
feet at depth of five feet and the
ledge shows great deal of free gold
containing values of from 1929 to
$500 per ton. There are now five
leasers on this property and some
very fine looking ore is being sacked.
Many adjoining prospects are now
being rapidly developed.
What is known as Sugar Loaf
mountain is bold outcropping erup-
ton that towers many thousand feet
above the surrounding country and
can be seen for many miles. 1t is
lava capped and shows that during
it's eruption it threw up the over
lying granite formation. The granite
is cut by wide porphyry dykes and
the gold bearing quartz lodges which
show the copper are found both in
the granite and the porphyry. This
is especially true of the country lying
south of the mountain.
On the south side of Sugar Loaf
mountain is located what is known
as the Copper King group, which has
recently been incorporated into the
Queen Regent Copper and Gold Com
lpany and owns fourteen claims and
three fractions. On this group is
found a formation of half mile of
heavy iron Gaping which in places
has been eroded showing lime carry
ing copper of to 2 per cent at the
surface, also gold and silver values
of several dollars to the ton. Paral-
leling this iron Gaping and forming
contact is tremendous porphyry
and quartzite dyke, the latter show
ing values in the porphyry ranging
from 50 to $27 at the surface. Al
this point the company is sinking a
shaft and it is the general opinion
of mining men that they will oper
up great bodies of ore of high values
These. fourteen claims are fssure6
with a network of stringers anG
lodges that carry values of from 81
Ito $21 at the surface and in some
instances above 500.
T. G. Tridel Is superintendent o.
the Queen Regent Copper and Golt
Company and he is actively engaged
in prospecting the surface of mum
Der of these claims and will, within
a short time, begin the sinking o
two shafts and the driving of tun
mel. The camp equipment has al
ready been shipped in and larg,
lot of supplies and materials hav'
been ordered. Parties visiting Re
gent should not fail to see the prop
erty of the Queen Regent, for her,
they will find many interesting geo
logical conditions not found in an,
other part of the camp To reacl
this property from Regent it require
a detour of about twelve miles. Tn
company has let contract for tn
sinking of number of wells at tn
base of the mountain at the edge o
the desert and believe they will sool
have an ample supply of water.
Just south of the Regent. Russell
f and Nav have very promisin
property from which they recent
made carload shipment shown
values of "a per cent copper, ais
& god and silver values.
Many very promising claims ar
I owned by poor prospectors who ar
now anxious to sell to realize littl
ready money and a number OF opei
ators of Nevada are quietly buyin
up these claims at figures that wi
