SPECIMEN OF ORE
CAPTAIN COTTER HAS SAMPLE
THAT is ALIVE WITH
SILVER.

Captain w. G. Cotter, the veteran
miner and manager of the Cotter
Mines Company in the Golden Arrow
district, arrived in the city Tuesday
evening. When asked concerning
that particular bit of rock and the
condition Of the Cotter properties in
general he replied:
81 found this ore upon one of the
claims of the Cotter Company yes
terday. How much ore there Is of
it cannot say. This particular
ground adjoins the Michigan-Ely
group, which was purchased by Gold
field parties a few weeks ago. Upon
another of our claims we have got
ten very satisfactory assays across
a five-foot ledge. On still another
claim l sampled across ten feet of
a ledge but found neither wall and
concluding the ledge itself might run
across the whole country I got tired
and desisted from sampling." Con-
tinuing he said: 81 have nothing
in particular to say. We are try
ing to make a mine of our properties
| Whether we will succeed or not only
the future can tell, but we believe
we have a first-class chance or We
would not be working for we are
not manipulating a stock deal"

WILL DEVELOP
ELECTRIC POWER
AGENT OF COMPANY HERE TO
LOOK OVER THE
FIELD.

DR.. f. H. Harding, representing
the General Electric Power company
of California, is in the city looking
over the possibilities of Tonopah as
a possible field of operations for his
company. He appears to be very san
guine concerning the ultimate neces-
sity of more power in this and all
other Nevada camps for, he declares
the growth of the country is far
more rapid than the expansion Of
power facilities and the only way to
be assured of adequate future power
is to contract ahead of the present
demand. In %conversing of the power
company he represents he said:
I'm Calevaras county, California
in the upper stretches of the Mokel-
umne river there is the greatest nat
ural dam and reservoir site in all

with sheer, precipitous cliffs, barrier
of shrub or verdure, rise for half

natural walls which prevent the
water from spreading to undesirable
limits. The dam will be It's fee

CIDENTS DURING WALL
STREET PANIC.

Walter Lamb, of the firm of Kirby,
Lamb G. Stoneham. returned yester-
day from a two months trip through
the Eastern cities. During his alb
sence Mr.. Lamb was a close observer
of business methods in the financial
centers, and was at the same time
an encyclopedia of information on
matters pertaining to Nevada. He
was in New York during the Wall
street panic, and received, at first
hand the impression of the people
who were bitten by the munipulators
Of the market.
"The panic, at first blush" said
Mr.. Lamb, would seem to be an
injury to the investments and specu-
lation in Nevada securities, but such
was not the case. On the contrary,
it was a blessing in disguise. 1t had
the effect of destroying all confidence
in the industrials. so called, and
turning the attention of investors to-
ward this state.

TALKS OF REESE
RIVER DISTRICT
PAUL KLOPSTOCK is FIRM BE-
LEVER IN ITS OP-
PoRTUNITIEs.

Paul Klopstock, mining engineer,
promoter, prospector and mine own
err and manager, and than whom
there is no better posted man in
southern Nevada, arrived in this city
yesterday.
Mr.. Klopstock was among the
early Corners to his camp, coming
in from Sodaville on the stage; and
was among the first to get into Gold
field, where he was in the ranks of
the early leasers. He has of late
been in the Duluth and Reese river
countries. In the former district,
he landed a number of properties
and disposed of several to advantage,
and kept some for himself. He likes
the country, and is a warm admirer
of the Reese river district, where he
has now large interests.
He has just come from the Reese
river valley, where he is managing
the property of the Washington
Mines Company, bought by him for
a German sydnicate. There has been
1900 feet of development work done
on the property and they have three
feet of ore that will go SIS a tor
in milling returns. The values are
in silver and gold.
1.-THE Reese river valley is a greai
mineral country" said Mr., Klop
stock, land there is a great deal o
work going on there in a quiet way
The old San Juan mine has beel
working for the past two years, an
very little has been said about ii
They have one ledge from twelve t
forty feet in width, from which the,
are taking ore that will mill $40
ton. Six hundred feet below thi
they have run in a tunnel where the
have a sixty-foot vein, and haven
yet struck the hanging wall. Thi
will average $12 a ton milling.
THE Schwab people are gettin
into that country too, and my under
standing is that they have bough
the old Bonita Queen. and are no.
working the property with their ow
men. have bought the Grizzly, al
J other old property, which has bee
) started up again under a new maj
agement, and will doubtless repef
it's former history.
E There are any number of pro-
D critics which have been worked sill
4 gle-handed for years, and have mad
: money for those who worked then
and the country is nov again lool
ing up. Austin has again become
mining center, and there are team
going out every day with freight f
e Clear Creek, Reese river, Mania
n tan and Round Mountain. There a.
about 400 people in Austin, but tt
town has now considerable of

Show us that they cried, and you
have thousands of new recruits for
the Nevada securities. But you can
not; it is impossible. Such a condi-
ton is unheard Of
1T was a very easy matter to show
them. l had but to name the stocks
of this district to assure them of the
truth of what l was telling. | men
toned Tonopah Nevada, which vas
selling for 10 cents a share three
years ago. and which had gone up
to $22 a share; Mohawk, which
started at Is cents and went to 500;
Nevada Hills, which was sold for rs
cents, and is, in less than a year,
nearly IS a share, and has paid a
dividend. Then | went down the
line, and named a dozen or more
securities on which there had been
similar action.
"These people were absolutely sur
prised, and wanted to know why they
had not heard of these things be-
fore. They wanted to know more
about this wonderful country; want
ed all the information snat they could
get. They told me that there would
be an army of investors and specu-
lators in here this summer; that this
was the kind of speculation that they
wanted, where a man could see what
he was buying, and get the actua'
security in hand.
"The Goldfeld troubles had MOI
been settled when ] left New York
and everybody was waiting for the
settlement, to get into the Nevact
stocks. The most popular stock IL
the East is Mohawk. But the grea
majority of the people with whom
| talked want Nevada stocks. The.
don't want Utah, or Colorado, o
Arizona; they want nothing but Ne
vada.
t'Tonopah is in the highest reput
with those who have given their at
l tention to this state, for they realiz
that there are no more safe securitie
5 in the world, and the glory of Tono
pah is reflected upon all the camps
| ut was a matter of as%tonishmen
t to me to find the absorbing interes
that Wonder has for the Easter
e people. There is more confidence e1
g hibited in that district than ther
has been in any new camp in tn
y state. 1t has been SO widely az
$ vertised, and has made so good tn;
its popularity is not to be wondere
at. Imagine this: was talkin

If this Nevada was in Wonder.

p was the number of men | met
Pittsburg, who, largely interested
* steel and other industries, were spe
le ulating in the mining game, and thu
ID told me that their profits were Fl

high favor in which the Neva'
