through a number OF camps during
his absence. and has what looks like
a very promising silver. lead and ga

head Of the former Walker Lake
reservation.
The property is located on Res
eryation Hill, said he, about six
miles north Of Sehurz, and it looks
very promising, I'VE have not sunk
10 a very great depth, and have ore
which goes twenty-five per cont lead.

camps, and took In Brunswick, from
which ! think we will hear later. The
district is south Of Empire, and IS
producing considerable gold, silver
ana copper. Everything has been
taken up and quite a number Of the
properties are being worked.
We went through Buckskin, Sun

good looking camp and there IS quite

Connections will be made with the

GENTLY" he said, II met most of tho
biz railway men and talked with
them over the advisability OF build
ing a road from Ely to Goldfeld, and
all spoke f~avorably of the project. |
also met the officials of the smelter
trust-the Guggenheims-who are
heavily interested in the copper
mines of Ely. and who also are
building the big smelter there. After
several conferences with the railway
m~agnates and the smelter people they
came 10 the conclusion that the idea
suggested was a good one. Before
the month is over there will be u
number of representatives of all par
ties interested in the construction OF
the new road in Goldfeld.
"The main thing they wanted to
know was whether there was enough
low grade ore here to warrant the
construction OF the road, and | be-
lieve they will be convinced there is
plenty. We figured out that the con-
struction OF the road would cost
about 10000 a mile. and the smell
ter officials assure me that the cost
Of hauling and treating the ore
would not be in excess Of 81 a ton.
It Is, In my opinion. the greatest
boost that Goldfeld has ever had II
the road is built. Ores that can not
be mined at a profit nov can be. and

in the front yard, just at 4 o'clock"
said Professor Jones last night. He
called to me loudly and | arrived on
the scene just about a second too
late. Mr.. Wilson said the meteor fell
like a great ball of fire straight down
until apparently just over the noun
tains. when it burst just like a great
skyrocket. 1t was visible about as
long as a person could count eight.
! had a transit and took an observa-
ton on Wilson's information, locat-
ing the line of fight as north SO de-
grees Is minutes east. It appeared
to fall in a directly vertical line, and
as the western sun was shining bril-
liantly on 1t at the time 1t must have
been extremely close to have been so
clearly visible"
Many other persons saw the met
cor yesterday afternoon, and 1t is
quite likely that by following the
figures secured by Professor Jones it
may be located in the mountains. For
