BUTTE MEN ARE MOVING ON
THE DEATH VALLEY SLOPE.
Greenwater. Cal. April 1s.-Malcolm
Macdonald, manager of all of the
Schwab interests in the Greenwater ard
adjacent mining districts of the state
OF California and Nevada, has been here
in company with i. A. Parkhurst, one of
the principal stockholders. They visited
the property of the Greenwater and
Death Valley Mines & Smelling COM
Iany and expressed themselves as being
wonderfully surprised at the progress
made since their last visit and remarked
that If the same progress is made in the
future as in the past that GTeenWater
will be one of the greatest copper dis
trlcts In the world. The leads in the re-
spectiVe shafts continue to Improve with
depth and instead Of sinking in a hard
burnt oXidized formation the ground is of
a light gray and improves along those
lines, indicative of the presence of ore
bodies in depth.
Improvements Arranged For.
Mr.. Macdonald arranged for many inn
pr0vementS while here and gave instruc-
tions for the immediate construction of
bank building more in accord with the
magnitude and the business of that in
stitution. Work will commence on this
structure at once, only to be quickly fol-
lowed by another large building to be
occupied as a hotel while large part OF
the ground floor will be utilized for
stores.
Shelter at Ash Meadows.
The smelter will be located at Ash
Meadows where there is an unlimited
supply of water and where the location
is an ideal spot for an enterprise OF that
description Excavating for the founda-
will pRfn M nee at KaT-
moment, but the work of placing the
machinery may probably not be installed
until the warm weather has abated. The
machinery has been ordered and Will he
on the ground just as soon as the TOno-
pah & Tidewater and the Senator Clark
system of railroads and the Goldfield &
Tonopah have entered the field. Mr..
Macdonald remarked that the first load
OF freight over any of the roads, when
either has reached the site. will be a full
train consisting of machinery for the
smelter.
Pipe Line is Surveyed.
The pipe line to supply the town of
Greenwater has been surveyed and this
will be the first work to be commenced,
as it is the intention of Mr. Macdonald
10 replace the gasoline hoists with steam
just as soon as the water reaches here.
The water will be brought in from Ash
Meadows, as there is an ample supply
there TO answer the demands of the
sInelter and city the size of Butte
The coming of the gentlemen was
hailed with delight by the residents of this
district, for they knew it meant much
for Greenwater, ard it caused d sense OF
more stability to pervade the camp.
At Furnace Creek Camp.
Everything Is a busy hive of industry
at the Furnace Creek camp Stopping has
been discontinued on the Furnace Creek
property and a force has been put on
prosecuting both east and west at the
Efsl-fOOf level If is believed the
cut will have to be run a much longer
distance TO encounter the lead than
where they cut the lead on the 80. owing
TO the increased dip of the VEIN 1t IS
believed that as soon as the station is
completed at the 800 the company viii
commence sinking and keep going until
they reach ths 1o00-fOot level. The man
agement of the property Is under the
personal superintendency of Patsy Clark,
jr., during the absence of Jim Harvey,
the general manager, who, it is reported,
has gone to Arizona and Mexico to ex-
anime several mining propositions laid be
fore his company
Kempland and Clark Properties.
The KempIand has as fine a showing
of copper carbonates as is to be found
either in this OF any other mining dis
trict in the world and shipments could
be made from the mines Of this com
pany now were transportation only con-
Venient.
Good progress is being made on the
Clark company's group of claims, that
lie adjacent TO the kempland. Both of
these corporal tons are under the personal
supervision of James Casey and he is
conducting work on both of them along
lines capable of enormous production
when the ore bodies have been more
thoroughly developed
On the Death Valley Slope.
Joe Rooney and Patrick Mullins are OPP
Grating a group of claims on the Death
valley slope of the Furnace range, and
the surface showings are the equal of the
best and 1t remains to be determined
which has the better showing-either the
property they are operating or the GRE
IOdy on the Kempland.
Very favorable Improvement in the
ore bodies is made in both the Red Boy
and the Saratoga group of claims. There
IS a two-compartment shaft on both
claims and they are being sunk by three
shifts on both without interruption. Su-
perintendent Fletcher formerly of the
Hope mine at Basin Mont. is in charge,
and they are what are known as the Nc
KeLzie properties. Both shafts are of
equal depth, go feet. and both have
splendid showing of copper carbOnates in
the bottom.
Gold at Lee and skidoo.
Several Greenwater outfits who STAN
peded into the Lee and SkidOo districts
lie first of the month have returned and
report that there are some wonderful
showings of gold ore, running away up
into the thousands Of dollars TO the ton.
The future of this whole mining region
f. but in its infancy. The prospects of
The future are magnificent.
Lucky Baldwin on Deck.

of his nephew. Mr.. Johnson. Mr. Bald

about Death valley during the past year
and he is here looking after the property
