STOCK EXCHANGE
OPENS MARCH %
RHY0LITE WILL HAVE NEW
BUSINESS FEATURE
Apparently Every Stock In Southern
Nevada Is Eager to Be Listed,
and Committee Makes
Investigation
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 1O.-The
Rhyolite stock exchange will open on
March 25 for the first call and after that
will hold two markets each day.
Originally it was intended to open
the market February 15 but the rush
in the building trades in Rhyolite was
such that the board room could not be
prepared for occupancy until the pres
ent time.
Another thing that delayed the open
ing was the flood of applications which
the listing committee was forced to
consider. Every property in the Lee,
Bullfrog and Greenwater districts
seemingly was offered for listing and
the committee was forced to make a
complete tour of the Southern Nevada
mining country before it was able to
pass upon the applications.
The stocks that will be listed upon the
new exchange have been appraised by
the committee and the first days call
will be at the appraised valuation.
After the first call new stocks will be
forced to take care of themselves, while
old stocks will of course open at the
San Francisco and Goldfield valuations.
Says Exchange Is Needed
Judge Largent, the Salt Lake ope-
rator, who is heavily interested in Rhyo-
lite and the Bullfrog districts, and. who
Is one Of the most prominent members
of the new exchange, said in regard to
conditions in Southern Nevada:
1.-THE exchange will fill a long felt
want, as 1t will enable mine operators
to trade to advantage. Under the pres
ent conditions close trading is impos-
s.ble, as the market is subject to quick
n1,n Iln hA Cd
distance.
"Under the conditions that must eX-
ist, as soon as the exchange is opened
look for a material increase in market
quotations. There Is no reason why the
market should remain at the present
low ebb, for the Bullfrog district was
never in better shape. The mines are
shipping ore, one railroad already is in
camp and two more are being rushed to
completion. The Borax Smith extension
of the Santa Fe will be into camp with
in ninety days and the Brock line from
the north in a third of that time"

new exchange are: Capt. G. w. Thatoh-

LATE DECISIONS
ABOUT MINING
Federal Regulations on Location and
Ownership of Mineral Prop
erty Rights of the
Prospector

Below are late decisions given in the
columns of the Mining World:
Location Right-It is said that the
locator of a mine, without obtaining a
patent, acquires the possessory title
thereto against all the world, and as
against the government so long as ne
performs the annual amount or WORK
required thereon; and he may transfer
this possessory right or title to a pur-
chaser, who may, as the apparent
owner, hold 1T against unrecorded
equitable claims, without notice. Tne
purchaser of the legal title of locator
has prior and superior equity over a
claimant of a prior equitable interest,"
only.-Reed VS.. Mum, las Federal iSl;
Notice of Location-The United
States statute requiring the notice of
the location of a claim to contain de-
scription by reference to some natural
object or permanent monument as
would identify the claim, was held to
be sufficiently complied with under a
system Of locating placer mining claims
upon q gulch or creek, and calling the
first Discovery Claim" and then num-
bering the others from this first claim
up or down the gulch or stream, and
giving to the side or branch claims the
same number as those upon the creek
with the addition of letter of the
alphabet And that a recorded notice
of the location Of a claim in such local
ity, describing it as "13A. Below Dis
eoVery on Cleary Creek" was held suf-
ficient.-Smith VS.. Cascaden. 148 Fed
eral 792.
Right to Ownership Of Claim-A per-
son residing In tent on one of a NUM-
ber of adjoining mining claims owned
by him, and who had commenced tho
sinking of shaft thereon, was held
to have sufficient possession to entitle
him to maintain an action against an
adverse claimant of the ground.-Lange
VS.. Robinson, 14S Federal 799.

RICH MINERALS
At CAMP DAWSON
BIG DISPLAY OF NATIVE SILVER
SPECIMENS
Valuable Mining Property Near Gina,
California, Will Produce More
MillIonaires for the
Golden State

Some Of the richest native silver speci-
mems ever exhibited in Los Angeles
have just been received by President
Way G. West Of the Greenwater Con-
solidated Mining company and came
from the Death valley mine at Camp
Dawson, San Bernardino county. This
fabulously rich rock came from the
main workings of the Death valley mine
at a depth of 150 feet and was taken
from an ore body which measured eight
feet in width. Besides carrying native
silver in vast quantities the ore runs
well in gold and carries much galena,
making 1t very desirable and profit
able product.
Several large pieces of rock in this
consignment came from the Arcalvada
Mining and Milling company's prop
erty. This company has opened ore in
parallel veins about 200 feet apart and
in their main shaft, which is thirty feet
deep, they have an ore body four feet
wide which averages seventy-three
ounces in silver, SO in gold and fair
average per cent Of galena.
Close to the Surface
The Greenwater Consolidated Mining
company, OWUeTS OF extensive nOlQlnSs
in this camp, have opened up the ex-
tension of the rich Death Valley weir
In their two shafts, which are about 15(
feet apart. Their main shaft at the
present time is thirty-five feet deep ant
their vein matter is six feet in width
Assay returns from the bottom of th'
shaft runs forty-five ounces in silver
also gold and galena.
Less than year ago Camp Dawson
was an unexplored desert country. To.
day three large corporations are work
ing there and each of them is giving ev-
idence of ranking with the largest pro-
ducing mines of the west. No attempt
has been made to scatter broadcast
the news of the rich strikes of this
camp to the end that these companies
have quietly secured a vast acreage
and own what Is unquestionably the
choicest mineralized showings in that
part of the country.
Camp Dawson is situated about three
miles south and east of Gina, Cal,
just in the shade of the towering New
York mountains in the northeastern
part of San Bernardino county. Along
the north and west side of the Provi-
dence range runs the s. p, L. A. & S. L.
railway; to the south and east is the
main line of the A., T. & S. r. railway.
Splendid wagon roads run from the sta
tions on either railroad to the Provi-
dence mountains.

MINING OUTLOOK
IN LEE DISTRICT
SOUTHERN NEVADA OPERA
TORS WANT ACTION
Freighting Across the Amareosa Des-
ert Must Be Good for Supplies.
Heat Intense in Mid
summer
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 10-There
is no question in the minds OF Soutn-
ern Nevada operators that Lee VIII
hold the. center of the mining stage Tor
the next year if the question of trans
portation of supplies through the dis
trict can be settled before the sum-
mer heat sets in.
Under the present conditions freight
ing across the Amargosa desert OF
fers no serious obstacle but as soon as
the hot weather sets in during the
middle of May or the first of June, 1t
will be impossible to send freight
across the valley unless there is some
arrangement made for supplying the
freighters with water in mid-desert.
r. B. Whittemore, who is the rep
resentative of the -Wh1ttemore
interests in Rhyolite at the present
time and who has been making study
of the freighting situation, is the man
that is behind the effort of the Rhyolite
board of trade to dig well in the
middle of the desert to catch the un-
derground flow of the Amargosa des-
ert.
In speaking of the present condi-
tions Mr.. Whittemore said: There Is
no question in my mind that the
rush to Lee will result in a permanent
camp. The showings over the ore are

thing against the district is in its
transportation facilities and it's water
supply. AS in all new districts these
things are only brought about by slow,
steady, uphill growth, and while every
day adds another two miles to the
road of the Borax Smith extension o.
the Santa Fe, which is building III
from the SOUTH and to the Brock sys-
tenn that is working south from Tono-
pah and Goldfeld, the Lee district will
have to look to the Las Vegas &
Tonopah line and to the city of Rhyo-
lite for it's supplies for a long time.
Lee is but fourteen miles on a di-
rect line over the hills from the pres
ent line of the road, and in time will
have branch line of it's own, but for
the present it must look to Rhyolite
for all supplies.
1.-THE Brock system will have it's
lines through Rhyolite within sixty
days and the Borax Smith surveyors
are surveying in the town for terminals
and depot sites.
"The wagon road to Lee is in excel
lent shape, and as soon as we can ar
range to strike water in the middle OF
the long haul across the desert I will
place machinery on the Lee state line
properties and begin development work
Until that time, however, it will be
useless, as within a month water will
be required in large quantities both to
operate and develop Lee holdings"

10000 acres of timber land and 10000
acres of coal land on Graham island In
the Queen Charlotte group above Vic
toria, has just arranged for an addi-
tional purchase of $4,000 acres of coal

Stewards lCEBERGS"
COST $7,2OO,OOO

The United States originally paid to
Russia $7.200,00O for Alaska, which at
the time was derisively called Stewards s
icebergs. Imagine the feelings OF the
czar when he learned that Uncle Sam
had mined in gold alone in 1906 three
times the purchase price of Alaska.
While the existence of gold in Alaska
was known ever since the territory be-
came a possession of the United States,
1t was not until 1886 that its develop
ment as a gold-producing country be-
gan, and II was not until ten years
later, in 1896, that the ground was found
to be rich enough to create mining
excitement and attract the attention
of the whole civilized world. From 1896
to 1906, inclusive, the territory OF Alas
ka has produced the large sum OF ss9,-
194,S10 in gold.

BONANZA STRIKE IN BULLFROG DISTRICT

road running from Battle mountain,
ninety-three miles, to Austin. This
road Is soon to be widened to standard
gauge, and a corps Of surveyors is now
In the field locating an extension
through the Millett district, down the
Smoky valley to Round mountain,
Manhattan and Tonopah, where II viii
connect with the Tonapah g. Tidewater
railroad, making a direct line for the
Gould system from the east via Battle
mountain and Austin, through the
largest and the richest mining district
in the known world, to Los Angeles,
the greatest city on the Pacific coast,
and soon to become the greatest mln-
ing center in the world.
The mining district of Millett is
In no sense of the word a boom camp.
The people there are doing all of their
mining under ground and are not try
Ing to mine the public. There is very
little IL any stock In properties in this
district on the market, the owners of
the properties here knowing that their
mines are worth many times more than
their stock would sell for at this time.
One or two companies are offering
small blocks of treasury stock for de-
velopment purposes only, and the in
Vestor that secures stock in these COM
panies and holds It for a short time is
sure to make very large profits on his
investment.
An item of interest to the prospective
investor as well as to the prospector
and miner is the water supply of a min
ing district. The Millett district is the
best watered camp in the state of
Nevada. Ophir creek runs 154 miners
inches at its lowest stage of the very
best of spring and melted snow water.
The Millett district will be heard from
in very substantial way before the
year 1907 draws to a close.

ANOTHER BIG RUSH
TO THE COBALT FIELD
snoclal to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
COBALT, Ont, March 10.-According
to information received publicly ana
privately there will be a great rush
to the Cobalt mining fields when the
snow goes in the spring. The repre-
sentatives of large capital and inter-
ests will have men in the field this
spring, as they did last fall. Many
men are expected from England and
the continent-they will represent i'm
portant financial institutions, especially
English and German.
The mining fields of Cobalt will not
become exhausted during the next ten
years and many claim they will last
fully twenty years and It is claimed
the territory at large will be OF greater
benefit to the dominion and prove far
richer than the Yukon. In the Yukon
work can be carried on for only a few
months in each year, but here the
work is carried on all the year round.

MINT DIRECTOR ROBERTS
BOOSTING FOR NEVADA

A late dispatch from Washington
says Director of the Mint George u.
Roberts, who has just returned from
q trip in the west, declares Nevada in
the future is likely to become the first
state in gold production. 1t is now pro-
ducing, he says, at the rate of a mill
lion month, and the work going on Is
chiefly of preliminary character. eer-
tain to Immediately increase the output
in the future.
"There never was such a mining
camp In the history Of the country"
said Roberts, "The development OF rich
fields Is scattered all over the state.
Nor is II confined to gold. The Tono-
pah field is extremely rich In silver
1t may yet develop rivalry to the ia
