THE NEW CAMP OF sTARGO
Considerable Work Now Being
Done In That Promising
Mining District

Martin Brown and A. 7. Tenvoord.
who left Eureka about 10 days ago for
the new mining camp Of stargo. Nye
County. about 10 miles southwes, OF
here. returned last Sunday.
A representative Of the SENTINEL ask.
ed Mr.. Brown how the new district
looked to him, and he said:
"Well. we did not remain long enough
in that section to definitely ascertain
what new discoveries had beer made in
the district or the amount of develop
ment work done. but we observed in the
camp of Stargo and vicinity about GO
men at work out of a possible population
Of 100.
20. H.. Wattles, whose place is situ-
ated about IL miles southeast Of Stargo,

locators of the principal mines in the

ties. The ledge is about so feet wide
and can be traced for a distance of over
800 feet. 1t is a gold ore carrying iron,
and assays have been obtained running
from 81 to $50 per ton.
"a shaft was sunk on the ledge to a
sufficient depth to demonstrate that the
ore goes down. However. the company
has suspended work at this point and
has started to run a 400 foot tunnel
which will tap the ledge about 200 feet
below the mouth of the shaft.
IAN abundance of wood and water
are nearby. The town of Stargo at
present has two stores and one saloon.
As yet no postoffice has been established
there. the people of that town now get
ting their mail at Hot Creek. Nye Coun-
ty. about Al miles distant.
"From conversations there with par
ties who are posted as to the conditions
existing in the district it was learned
they are quite sanguine that as soon as
sufficient development work has been
done on the several properties the new
camp will be heard from in a substan.
tial manner"

EUREKA AGAINST EXTRA SESSION
Proposition Meets With Decided
Opposition From Prominent
Citizens and Taxpayers

As to the calling Of an extra session
OF the Nevada Legislature Tor the pur.
pose set forth in Governor Sparks let.
Ter, published in another part Of this
sue. the SENTINEL can positively state
that a large majority Of the people Of
Eureka Is decidedly opposed TO tho
proposition. As far as Eureka County
is concerned no fear of ans great tax
delinquency is anticipated.
Eureka County has for many va.,s
endeavored to fix its tax rate 50 that
there would be no surplus 10 the Treas.
ury ON December fret Of each year. and
there will be no surplus funds this year.
10 fact. the incoming taxes will be ueces.
sary to pay the official salaries and
o;her running expenses Of the county
falling due on the first Monday in De.
cember next.
Ii the officials of Eureka County
could Issue scrip to pay the county's
RAINING expenses for a few months.
they would be glad to do so to relieve
the present stringent financial situation;
but under the County Reduction law
the officials are strictly forbidden to
pay any bills unless the money is in the
County Treasury and set apart for that
purpose.
There is a surplus In the School Fund.
q under the law no money can be
drawn from that fund except for school
purposes.
State Senator Brossemer,s Hews
Senator +. J. Brossemer was inter.
viewed by a SENTINEL representative.
aud upon being INTERCEPTED as to the
calling of an extra session of the Legis.
lature said 10 substance:
Il have written Governor Sparks in
reply to a letter from him asking for an
expression Of opinion from me as to the
a~dvisability of converting the Nevada
Legislature in extra session.. In that
letter l informed the Governor that |
had canyassed the matter with a mum.
Der Of prominent citizens here and found
them unanimously opposed to the propo
sition. also informed the Executive
that was personally against the calling
Of the Legislative body together at this
time. II 1t were done solely for the pur.
pose Of refunding the 10 per cent penalty
on delinquent taxes"
A~ssemblymen Sadler and Duborg re-
side in the north end Of the county and
the SENTINEL has been unable to inter.
view them regarding their views of the
matter.
IL is estimated that the proposed ex.
ira session will cost the taxpayers Of
the State $4,000.
So far. very few Of the newspapers Of
the State advocate the calling Of an ex
ira session.
