GOOD REPORTS FROM LEE

Recent reports from Lee, a new min
ing camp in Death Valley, California,
state that this camp is building up
very rapidly and prospects are very
good for gold mining on a large scale.
There has been considerable trouble
over litigation of a couple of mines
there but this has now been settled and
work will be sum at once. The
camp which is situated about 40 miles
from Rhyolite, has already so tents and
more people are constantly coming in.
1t is situated about ten miles from the
Clark road, which makes transportation
of easy access. The only difficulty is
the water supply for which they have
to go from eight to twelve miles. but
they are already sinking four wells and
expect to strike water within a few
miles from camp. One mine which is
down 40 feet, and which assays in very
fancy figures, has decided to sack and
ship their whole dump. and from assays
expect to realize $50 or $40 a sack.

ACTIVITY in BULLION DISTRICT

(From our own Representatives.
Lander, New, March 13.-The old
Bullion mining district is showing a
great deal of activity these days. Things
have been a little quiet during the win
ter. but with the coming of spring the
~prospector has become busy, and new
and important strikes are reported al
most daily. What is better still is the
fact that many of the properties are
shipping. and as the returns come in II
is evident that the Bullion district must
henceforth be classed as a high grader.
The returns from the shipment sent out
last week from the Riggs lease on the
Gold Quartz have just been received,
showing a net value, after paying cost
of hauling, freight and treatment, OF
over SO. 600 per ton. This is the highest
grade shipment yet sent out from the
camp, but there is plenty more of the
same kind where that came from. and
another shipment is nearly ready. The

Quartz company returned $106 per ton.

ENORMOUS DIVIDENDS PAID
BY MINING COMPANIES

Continued high market prices for sill
yer. copper. lead and zinc. combined
with a large consumption and greater

Rhyolite, New, March 1.-THE rich
strike in the West Extension continues
to create interest here. This interest
has just been increased by another
strike of equal richness made in the
south crosscut from the 115-foot level of
the double compartment shaft. Here
some more picture rock was uncovered.
Big blocks of ore taken from this local
ity are literally loaded, cemented and
spattered with free gold. Judge V. I.
Hoggatt, one of the main owners, and
Manager l.. p. McGarry, also interested
in the property. are in from the mine
with a chunk of the ore two feet long,
and weighing about so pounds. The
stuff shows evidence of wealth 80 yards
away and upon closer inspection the
yellow bulges out like the eyes of a
scared coon. 1t is identical in char
acter to the material first discovered by
shorty Harris on the Original Bull
frog, and is just as rich. The properties
adjoin, and the West Extension people
have the same rich lead. This strike is
entirely apart from the one reported last
week. In both localities the rich ore is
being sacked for shipment. An average
of the shipping product will go into the
hundreds, while seleetei~ specimens
range into the thousands.
The company is employing IS men,
operating an up-to-date hosting plant
and opening up its big ore body as rap
idly as possible. 1t will have a rich
shipment ready to forward in a short
time.
AT a recent meeting of the Rhyolite
Stock Exchange it was decided to open
the exchange for business March 25. The
listing committee recommended that
certain Bullfrog stocks and also those
of Goldield be listed for a period of so
days without charge. and after this that

then continue the shaft down below the
tunnel level. The vein is an unusually
strong one, consisting of several ore
%stringers. which appear to unite with
depth. a shipment is now being pre-
pared which will be sent out in a few
days.
Several important strikes have re-
cently been made in the northern part of
the district, that attracting the most at
tention being on the Raven property, be-
longing to w. S. Montgomery and asso-
ciates. A four-foot vein of oxidized
quartz, carrying good gold values. has
been uncovered at various places along
it's strike, showing a continuous vein fer
several thousand feet. The same owners
have recently resumed work on the
Black Rock group of claims. situate
about five miles north of Lander.
Seven different properties are now on
the list of shippers in the district, and
at least half a dozen others are saving
ore. preparatory to sending out a ship
ment within the next thirty days. Sew
eral important transfers of property
have taken place recently. and a number
of investors are in camp looking for
something good. Ed Manion, superin-
tendent of the Mogul mine at Deadwood.
has purchased some claims in the north
end of the district, which he will develop
extensively. job Flynn, a prominent
ranchman, of Douglass, Wyoming, has
also made some investments in the same
section. j. ]. Cusick, of Salt Lake. has
purchased the Copenhagen and Delmas
lodes near Tenabo. for which he is said
70 have paid $4,000. Col. f. A. Braden
and Lewis c. White. of Goldfeld, spent
last week in camp. and were 50 well
pleased with the showing that they will
return soon and commence active opera
tons.

WILL DECLARE DIVIDEND

Lynch & O'Meara, who control the des-
tines of Nevada Alpine, which is a large
group of claims on Lone Mountain.
Tonopah district, are authority for the
announcement that before the end OF
the current year, a handsome dividend
will have been declared. The property
has been the subject of activity for
three years and in that time has sent
to market 100000 worth of ore. Tit
remarkable feature of the Nevada Alpine
is the fact that in all of the workings
that are now under way, there is not
a ton of dirt that fails short of a ship
ping value.

BULLFROG WEST EXTENSION
THE CENTER OF INTEREST

without dissent. The Western Union
has promised to give a night and day
telegraphic service.
The Tramps Consolidated at 62 feet
in the winze from the fourth level on
the Denver has broken into some very
rich ore. The material shows free gold
to the unaided eye. Manager Blackmer
states that he is agreeably surprised
and believes that this is one of the rich
est uncoverings ever made in this well
known property. 1t is the intention of
the management to continue sinking to
the 10o-foot point and then to do much
lateral work. although the shaft will be
sunk to great depth.
Workmen are now blasting out a
foundation and there will be installed a
hosting plant on the Denver as soon as
power is available, which will be In a
short time.
Manager l.. p. McGarry of the Bull
frog Teddy has just closed a contract
for so feet of sinking on the White Rock
claim of the Teddy estate. Work has
already been begun and will be pushed
night and day. Fine amethyst and tur-
quoise groupings are found on Teddy
ground. indicating that the rich green
ore peculiar to the West Extension will
be uncovered with depth. A surface as
say made a few days ago returned a
value of s27.40 in gold and silver. The
hosting plant recently ordered is ex-
pected on the ground in a short time.
According to a recent underground sur
vey made by George f. Sherer, u. S.
mineral surveyor, the rich leads of the
West Extension pitch directly into this
ground.
The Gibraltar will continue the ship
ments of it's rich ore. The company
now has 40 tons of ore ready to move.
This material consists of ore taken from
the lower workings, and it is estimated
that it will run anywhere from 500 to
81 900 to the ton in gold.

GETTING o I VALUES

Good reports come from the property
Of the Bullfrog Pedestal Mining com
pany at Bullfrog. where the estate OF
seven claims is being vigorously devel-
oped by a main working shaft which
is being sunk at a convent point for
the exploitation of the entire group
1t is said that excellent gold values are
being uncovered in the bottom of the
shaft, and the company believes that

VOTE FOR GOOD ROAD
LIMESTONE COUNTY TO HAVE MAG-
 NIFICENT SYSTEM.
At Election Held to Decide on Bsnd Issue, Progresstycs Win Fly I.andslide Vote, Six
 f0 One.

Athens, March 24.-( Especial. 1.-The election to determine the important question of whether or not Limestone would issue bonds for the building of good roads, was held in this county yesterday and was landslide for good roads, the bond issue carrying by a vote of about six to one.
 This is the most important step Lime stone has taken looking to the future development of her resources, and with the wise handling of the money voted. $13B,O00, will be able to build more than 100 miles of first-class pike roads.
 Because of the very bad roads, for three to five months in the year, real estate has been held at low price. There was a great deal of interest shown in the matter and many leading men who have hitherto fought the issue of bonds for roadwork, were enthusi- astice for the bond issue to carry.
 In Athens there was only three votes against the issue and more than BOO tax paid by the three voters casting their vote against the measure would not amount to $5 annually. The city of Athens has agreed to give half the net profits of the city dispensary which will amount to about s7,000 annually, more than enough to pay the interest on the bonds, and the surplus is to go into sinking fund to help pay or the bonds at their maturity. This almost means Athens giving to the county this splendid system of roads. There is general rejoicing here.

He said that he was in San Jose, Costa Rica on March 18th and goth and was at that time informed of the prohibited States agitation. Pres sure had been brought to bear on Cos ta Rica, he said. to mix up in the pres ent imbroglio and talk of annexation was one of the results of their disincli- nation to do so.
 He said that the natives rather than foreigners appeared to be the leading spirits in this movement and that the native Costa Ricans are white race.
 Officers of the Ellis reported sight ing the smoke of several burning towns in Nicaragua and of two towns in Honduras while passing through the Carribean sea.
