FARRELL CAMP IS
THE LATEST

WINNEMUCCA, New, May 81
Farrell is the name of new mining
camp between Rosebud and Seven
Troughs and located at what is
known as Stone House canyon. The
townsite, has been plated and the
camp is said to have about forty
tents. The railroad point for Farrell
is Rye Patch, the road being an easy
grade and several miles shorter than
to Lovelock.
The general formation of the coun-
try is that of a porphyritic quartz,
the veins as a rule running east and
west. and the dykes crossing at right
angles. The country as whole is
an easy one to work-that is, it is
not of a precipitous nature, and the
road to the railroad already refer
red to makes the question of ship
ping ore an easy matter to dispose of
in regard to charges.

QUARTZ NOUN
TAIN IS A Big
PROPERTY

Beatty, New, May 31.-The re-
vival of Quartz Mountain, thirty
miles north of Beatty and fifty
miles southwest of Goldfield, pro-
misses to result in the growth of a
mining camp in that district Since
the sale of the Marshall-Southey
property to Rhyolite parties, other
discoveries than the one which at
tracted interest to the locality about
month ago, have been made on
other locations, and there is now
much interest being manifested in
Goldfield as well as here over the
country. Messrs. Kinkaid and Tur
pin, who took over the control of the
MarshallSouthey property are now
running a long drift tunnel on the
main ledge and will open it up at a
depth of 600 feet This vein, the
largest in the district, escaping Oh
servation nearly two years and work
going on near it all the time sim ply
through its hugeness, crops promi-
nentIy for 5000 feet and in no place
is it less than 100 feet in width.
1t is stated that paintings are Oh
tanned along the full length ana
width of this great cropping, and ii
is put down by the many mining men
who have visited the ground as q
tremendous ore shoot. OF course the
general average of of the ore will
not run very high, and certain parts
Of it are richer than the general
mass, but the entire lead shows val
ues much greater than would ordi-
narily be expected in deposit this
size.
During the week two parallel
lodges have been opened up, one
east and the other west of the main
ledge. 1t is reported that panning
from these latter discoveries average
up well with those from the big lead.
Also during this week a streak of
quartz was uncovered in the center
vein that will run into the hundreds,
and shows gold visible to the naked
eye.
Tom Murphy, Goldfield operator,
is preparing to begin operations on
the north extension of the Quartz
Mountain property. His showing is
similar in size and richness to the
big showing which he adjoins.
w. G. Probasco and AL Freburg of
Beatty are also making preparations
to begin work on group of claims
lying near the original discovery.

RICH COPPER IN
BUFFALO VALLEY

WINNEMUCCA, New, May 81
A strike of copper ore of noteworthy
Importance has been made in Buffalo
valley, thirty-five miles south of Col

miles from the Holman ranch. The
main ledge is six feet wide and in a
shaft which is 80 feet deep some very
rich copper ore is being extracted.
The ore is mostly sulphide and
carries n high percentage of the red
metal and some specimens left at this
office assay over fifty per cent cop
per.
Mr.. Preciado stated that he had
located a group of five claims and
with the exception of a few other To-
cations by other parties the territory
is virtually open. The lodges are
numerous and show strong outcrops.

She greeted her waiting host gaily.

said. II was afraid l shouldn't see

AS you're to be CHARTERED there for

Claire Barton introduced her friend

greatest attractions.

So he had accepted the role, and
when in town he always paid a visit
to the Pandora and asked Claire to
come out to supper and bring a friend
with her.
Sir John Forester, a young officer
in the Scots Guards, had met Claire
with Captain Sinclair once or twice
before, and knew all about them.
