BACK OF SCHEME.
Will Go After the Bonanza Gold in
the Nam0uS old Canyon Which
H yielded Millions.

One of the greatest mining propo-
sitions ever launched in Humboldt
county is the one soon to be attempted
by Tonopah and eastern capitalists,
who plan to work the ricn placer de-
posits in American canyon, about 45
miles south of Winnemucca, by collect
ing the waters of the different creeks
on the Eastern Slope of the Humboldt
range and conveying this water by
means Of gigantic pipe line to the
placer beds in American canyon. The
plans 'embrace the purchase outright OF
the entire ranches and water rights of
half dozen ranch owners whose iands
are watered by the streams flowing
from the eastern slope of the range.

A GREAT PLACER PROPOSITION
2S-MILE PIPE Line TO AMERICAN CANYON

The pipe line, as drawn up in the
plans, will start from star canyon and
skirting the edge of the hills, passes
in turn Coyote conyon, Unionville can
yon, Cottonwood canyon, Indian Creek
canyon and Spring Valley canyon
and ends in American canyon.
J. w. Wenzel, now operating placer
mine in Spring Valley by means of a
pipe line containing the waters of In
dian creek and Spring Valley creek, is
one of the promoters of the big
scheme and is heavily interested in it.
To obtain the waters Of the conyons
named the promoters would first have
to purchase the ranches which are
watered by the streams of these can
yons and with that idea agents of the
company have been quietly obtaining
options on the properties and having
abstracts drawn up on list Of doz-
en- different ranches. The properties
which it will be necessary to purchase
are the ranch of Jos. Organ, situated
on Star Creek, the ranch of N. C.
Frendensen on Coyote creek, the hold
ings Of Chas. Zimmershed on Union
vile creek, and the ranch Of Thos. +.
Powell on Cottonwood creek.
The agents of the company have
worked very quietly, SO quietly in fact
that few, up to this time know Of the
gigantic scheme in view.
News of the proposition first leaked
out in Winnemucca yesterday at
which time it was announced that after
four months of work all the necessary

SOCIAL CA1CE LAST EVENING
WE'LL ATTENDED.

The social dance given in Silver

Riddle and Mann, was according to the
stories of those who attended very,
delightful affair. The music, which
first made a record for itself at the
Skidoo reception, was up to the stan-
dard last evening, which added to the
general good time. This is the first
of series Of social dances which the
three members of the popular musical
organization will put on. The dances
will be held regularly on Wednesday
evenings in Silver State hall.
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1907-01-10

papers had been drawn up, all the
options secured, and the company
ready to begin construction of the
pipe line.
The pipe line will be twenty-eight
miles in length, extending as hereto
fore mentioned from Star creek to
American canyon. 1t will be built of
redwood and capable Of holding a large
head Of water.
The news of this gigantic scheme
will be welcome to many who hold
claims in American canyon and will
mean much for Humboldt county in a
mining line, although what it means
- gain in mining, will mean loss
agriculturally, for the cultivated
meadow lands on the eastern slope of
the Humboldt range without the wat
ers which have made them fmous US
the green fields Of Humboldt will be-
come parched and dry.
In American canyon some Of the
largest specimens Of pure gold ever
found in Nevada have been discovered.
The famous old canyon resembles q
gigantic mole hill, where thousands
have dug and panned for the placer
deposits. The amount Of gold that has
been carried out Of American canyon
will never be known, for many came
and mined and left with their treasure.
The new operations represent the ac-
tivity Of the mining industry in Hum
boldt county, and the new and up to
date methods which are supplanting
the old style methods Of mining.
