100000 worth of ore in sight.

Going some? Well, it certainly looks
good to me.
l am told by an expert who has
been through the mine. that the Mo-
hawk is producing more that $50 900
a day. And yet, there are people
who are endeavoring to knock the
camp by saying it is not a great pro-
ducer.
Despite Lne cry Of depression that
has been raised, this camp is eclips-
ing anything on earth. When l see
the immense amount of work going
on l am astounded. BY the way, the
man who ties to talk depression here

ENCOUNTERED RICH ORE

The United Mining Company

by Harry Cowden encountered some
very promising ore yesterday and
some of it is on exhibition at Farrers
jewelry store.
1t is copper ore running from to
% per cent per ton and valued re-
spectively at S35 and $135 per ton.
There is a large vein Of the rich ore
and mountain of the lower grade.
Mr.. Cowden has four claims there
and they adjoin the Logan-Yerington
and Lone Pine claims which also car
ry high values and promise to be one
of the greatest copper properties in
the state.
The heavy iron cap which covers
these properties is almost pure iron
and is a geological indication of great
rich ness at depth.
The future of Brunswick Canyon
is a matter Of fact the future of Car
son. If the properties there come
through" it means that Carson will
soon add materially to its population
and wealth.

PRESS AGENT GETS BUSY A GREAT MINERAL FssUREI

Scotty the great desert mystery has
press agent in Goldfield who gets
$50 a month and board to concoct
stories which will continue to keep
'Scottys name and game before the
public.
Here is his latest and dated Gold
field Is.
A message from Stovepipe a tele-
graph station in Death Valley, gives
meager details of a fight that followed
the advent of Walter Scott, "Scotty"
on his return trip ohis mine
He was accompanied by E. C. John
son at the time, but the latter failed
to return to Goldfield, as he had
enough of his experience with the
desert bonanza king.
The pair left this city last Tuesday
in an automobile, which they aban-
doned at Bonnie Clare, where Scot
ty's' outfit was waiting to carry him
across Death Valley.
While on the road an outfit was
seen advancing slowly as if aware
that they would be watched.
'ScOtty" was camped on one side
of a draw where he could not be OBJ
served, and thus he was able to lie
concealed until the party appeared
within hundred yards. Then he
challenged them, and was met by a
sharp report. 1t is said a bullet tore
was returned.
A few scattering shots came back
and one of them struck Jeff Piller, a
driver, who has been working with
the "Scotty' outfit for years.
The attacking party beat hasty
retreat, and then 'Scotty' hitched up
and retraced his steps to Bonnie
Glare. Here he left the patient and
came on to Goldfield.
The Appeal advises Scotty to get
another press agent. There is pain
full sameness about those desert ad-
ventures which shows that the man
who runs Scotty's typewriter in Gold
field is an amature.

somehow and run in something fresh

the mine owners refused to pay their

milling is cheaper, power is cheaper,
