UBEHEBE IS The

MAJOR DUNCAN HARRISON SAYS
UNTOLD WEALTH IN

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 14.-Major

for the coast, from where he is going

the Ubehebe country in company with
Senator Towne of Minnesota and a
party which had been down there
inspecting some of the majors prop
critics.
"Ubehebe,' said the major, lis the
coming district in these parts. Not
only have they great copper deposits
down there, but there is untold
wealth in gold and silver. We have
property which is about sixteen
miles to the northwest of the SAILS
berry holdings in the Ubehebe. We
had at first a fine copper showing
and then we found ledge which we
explored for gold and silver. We
have taken out rock which has gone
as high as $4,000, but the mine is {
milling proposition. We have aver
aged $17.60 across $50 feet of rock
and if that can be beaten for a mill

the country is.
There is a natural mill site OF
the property, with all the water tina
could be desired. There are half
dozen springs, with water enough t
operate 2000-stamp mill. The rail

the properties will help the raj

There has not been as niue
