Is Aristoeratie Neishborhood.

The property involved in the transac
! ton comprises six claims and q Fraction
in the most aristocratic neighborhoOd O
the district which is now rated as being
the peer of the best camps of Nevada
and which is being invaded every day b!
the most prominent operators of the Gold
field and TOnopah districts As shown BY
the map of the district the Tomboy ground
is surrounded by properties that are max
ing sensational records and which Gold
field talent, old in the business, insist:
are going TO make mines that will sur.
pass the famous Mohawk, Jumbo, Flor
ence and other bonanzas of the GoldfielC
camp.
The Tomboy property sidelines the sen.
sational Mazuma Hills bonanza on the
east. On its south end lines is the no less
famous Lizzie & Thor bonanza which is
now being equipped with machinery, while
thanking the east side lines of the grouI
is the Vernon Fraction company's mines
1t is also Joined on the north by prop
critics producing exceedingly rich ore and
while there has been no systematic de
ground the prospecting of fits lodges re-
veals rock that shows so much gold In
the "pannings'' that no doubt of theiI
richness exists.
Examination of Expert.
The examination of the ground by Cap
tain Tibbetts," said Mr.. Bridges during
the afternoon, was a most thorough and
no doubt that the lodges which have made
neighboring properties famous pass
through the Tomboy ground and he states
that it is impossible that imaginary lines
which separate our ground from adjoin-
ing claims have cut off the ore bodies
He considers the Tomboy a most eligibly
located prospect and will return to camp
with me in a day or two for the purpose
of advising on the plan of campaign to be
inaugurated on the ground. AS an evil

group is held l might mention that east
ern parties who had been investigating
the camp and who were in Goldfield when
the deal was closed offered me a substan-
tial bonus on my bargain to turn the
proposition over to them. II Is needless
TO say that l declined the offer"
c. j. Maher has been made superintend-
ent of the property and he Is now en-
gagged in stripping and running cuts into
some of the lodges and, by the time Mr..
Bridges and Captain Tibbetts get back
to camp II is expected that little trouble
will be experienced in determining where
to begin active development work.
From the company's ground it is only
a short distance to the point that has been
selected by NJ. ]. Friedman and the big
operators associated with him who own
control of the Therein, kindergarten,
Fairview and other properties, as a site
quartz mill in which to convert their
ores into gold bullion, while the town of
Mazuma. the chief town of the district
is only a mile or so away.
Camp Is Ali Excited.
There has never been a time since the
discovery of Tonopah and Goldfield that
so much excitement was known in Ne
vada as that now being experienced in the
Seven Troughs district and every report
that comes from there goes to show that
no other camp In the state is so COM
pletely laced up with gold-bearing veins.
Located right in the heart of all of the
richest properties Mr.. Bridges figures
that the Tomboy cannot fail to rank with
the best of the top-notchers within a short
time. After getting things well under
way at the properties he will leave for
his home at Memphis to advise his friends
what he has been accomplishing in ''the
wild and woody west"
