LEAVES FOR The
CHLORIDE DISTRICT
PARTY WILL PUT IN WINTER IN
THE NEW CAMP TO THE
NORTH.

Captain o. Henry leaves this morn |
ing for the Chloride district, where
he is going to put in the winter look
ing for the ledge of new and val
liable discovery of float. With Al
Revert, Captain Henry has taken a
one-half interest in the property, the
other half being owned by s. X.
Bradford, j. E. Kendall, Jack Sloan
and w. C. Russell.
There are eight claims on the
property said Captain Henry, "and
there are from fifty to 100 tons of
rich float among which are big
boulders, from one of which were
broken $500 pounds that averaged
1925 a ton. One assay went as high
as $6S2 ton. There are any num-
Der of boulders which will weigh two
tons, all of which are rich in ore.
The wash carrying the float
comes down the mountain side for a
distance of three-quarters of a mile,
and there is a big ledge there some
where and We are going to find it be-
fore the winter is over. We will go
from here in the morning to Belle
helen, where my camp is located.
am going to move the camp out, n
distance of fifty miles north, AMI
stay there for the winter"
There is quite romance about the
Chloride property, and the deal
which has Just been made shows
what persistency and sticktoativeness
means, and will bring. About six
weeks ago Sloan and Kendall came
here to tell about their discovery,
and brought with them some of the
ore which went very high. They re-
| turned to their camp with one man
who turned down the proposition.
Then they went to S. K Bradford,
who was sufficiently interested to go
to the ground with his team of
mules. He spent eight or ten days
there examining the property and
brought big chunck of rock, which
looked like the real quill.
With W. c. Russell, he interested
Malcolm Macdonald, and the public
knows what happened. There was a
spill on the return trip, and Mr.. Mac
donald has forgotten the mine and
is nursing his arm, which was dislo-
Gated in the spill. Nothing daunted
Mr.. Bradford went to Goldfield, and
, there got another party, and off they
, went in another automobile. This
, party also reached the mine, ant
coming back hit new rock, ant
there was another spill. There wa;
a mining engineer along, who strok
ed his leggings, and said that it look
ed pretty good, and that he would
like to take it up in the spring. Mr.
) Bradford wasn't waiting until spring
and he came back to Tonopah, ant
