Scott Hickey; deputy sheriff,
drove in from Silver Bow last night,
and stated that there was shipping
ore in the leases on the Silver Bow
Bell He says that there are sacks |!
piled up ready for shipment which |
will go as high as $1,000 a sack
For the past two days stream OF
people has been flowing along the
Goldfield road on the way to the
strike, while as yet there has been
nothing doing in Tonopah. w. L. j
McGonagill, general manager OF the
Silver Bow Bell, said yesterday that
he had only heard rumors of the
rich finds, and that he was going to
Silver Bow Immediately to determine
what there was in them.
Postmaster Cook of Silver Bow
came into Tonopah day before yes
terday with his usual monthly ship
ment from his lease on the Clifford
property. To those with whom he
met he impaired the information that
there was considerable doing in the
district, and that it was beginning to
look like old times again, from the
influx of people.
Silver Bow, at one time, had as
many as four hundred people in the
camp, and had started a newspaper
there. The district was a milling
proposition, but there was some very
fine float found there, and there were
some very high values found at fair
depth. Then came the Manhattan
boom, and the men of Silver Bow
went over the divide in night Some
of them have drifted back to Silver
Bow, but not the great majority. The
camp was deserted before it was a
full fledged one.
About two months ago the Catlin
group was bought by Bert Smith,
Charles D. Porter, and their asso-
ciates, and they went right to work
developing the property. They found
some very high grade ore, and the
leasers on the McGonagilI property,
which adioins the Catlin. went to
work with renewed energy, and the
big strike has been the result
W. s. Johnson who has interests
in Silver Bow, heard of the new dis
covery on Tuesday. Adjoining the
Catlin group on one side, he and his
associates have the Hidden Treasure,
close to which is the property OF
Wingfeld and Nixon. On the other
side of the Catlin, lies the McGona-
gill, or Silver Bow Bell mine, next
to which are the Blue Horse. then
the Midas, Midas No 2, the CamI
Bird and the Gem, all of the latter
four being owned by johnson ana
his associates,
Il have found considerable ricf
float on the Hidden Treasure, sait

There is ledge there somewhere
All these properties lie on the same

a most ideal camp. There is livin;
stream of water running through thi
camp. and there is timber in abun

I'VE have found lots of ore tha

stuff, but what are YOU going to d.
with it out there? A mill or two Il
Silver Bow would start things, an
you would soon see one of the big
gest camps in the State. There
plenty of high grade ore there. too
