SKIDOO CAMP is
COMING UP STRONG
MINE OWNERS LOOK FOR A BIG
BOOM
Announcement Made That the Schwab=
Montgomery Syndicate Has
Started Construction of
Milling Plant

From all reports the Skidoo camp on
the edge of Death valley, in>the eastern
part of Inyo county, is on the verge of
a substantial boom. Not only are the
mines proving up better than expected
with the small amount OF development
work done, but new discoveries are re-
ported daily.
The Skidoo Mines company, which is
the Schwab Montgomery syndicate, has
started the construction of its large mill
ing plant, which will be completed this
fall. The eighteen mile pipe line. from
Telescope peak, which is to furnish water
for Skidoo, has been completed as far as
Tuber canyon, six miles, and water is
running through 1t to that point. This
completed portion is over the toughest
section of the whole line, and General
Manager Matt Hoveck says the laying OF
pipe will be accomplished much more
rapidly from now on, reaching Skidoo not
later than the last of August. He hopes
to make it by the middle OF August.
James G. Sterrett one of the proprietors
of the Skidoo News, in speaking of the
conditions there, said
THE Skidoo camp will probably be the
first of the desert camps to revive after
the dull summer season is over. There
are several reasons for thinking so. There
is no question in the minds of any who
have visited Skidoo but that 1t has gold
in large quantities. Work has been going
on all summer in the various mines-Val-
ley View, Granite Contact, Saddle Rock,
Jack Rabbit and others This work is
showing up better values right along and
the managers of the properties promise a
pleasant surprise for the owners and
operators when they return in the fall.
One of the latest strikes in the district
is the Valley View mine, where a large
body of milling ore has been encountered.
Another reason for Slfidoo's early
boom is that it was the last of the camps
in the desert section to succumb to the
dull season. 1t was late in the spring
that Skidoo felt its greatest activity 1t
will be the first to answer to the revival
of energy in the fall and go on from
where it left Off Forty-five inches of
water flowing in from Telescope peak will
be an abundance for domestic, power,
electrical and other purposes. The small
operator will be able to contract for a
few inches of water and work his mine
at good profit

pany's ground are taking out some of

BOSTON MILL PLANNED
FOR MANHATTAN DISTRICT

The Manhattan Mail announces that c.
S. Lemon, well known pioneer in Man
haitian and southern Nevada, will erect
a custom mill this summer. The mill has
been ordered and shipments will follow
as fast as possible. The latest consign-
ment of materials will be loaded on the
cars August 16 and by that time the erec-
ton of the main works will be approach
ing completion.
The mill as first erected will consist of
ten stamps, amalgamator and cyanide
attachments.
The plant will be devoted exclusively to
the milling of custom ores and comes in
exactly at the right time for the general
benefit of the camp. The big plant of
the Manhattan Ore Reduction and Refin-
ing company will have about all it can
do this fall to handle ores already con-
tracted for. The Lemon mill will be
available for the product of the leasers
and many mining companies with ore on
the dumps.
Mr. Lemon, the promoter of this mill
ing enterprise, was early in the field at
Tonopah and it was through his initia-
tive that the Tonopah railroad was con-
Structed,

Mrs. Whittemore spoke in general
way on the work of the Door of Hope,
illustrating her ideas and motives with
several examples from her personal eX-
perience.
Among the many incidents she spoke of
a girl who had come from Germany to
New York city and who had wandered
from the path of rectitude. With refer
ence to the young girl Mrs. Whittemore
said:
Her father wrote a letter to me stat
ing that his daughter, Margaret, was in
bad company in New York city and re-
quested me to find her if possible.

RENO, New, July 2S.-To add to Ne
vad92s fame as a gold producing state
comes the discovery of immense deposits
of cinnabar by j. H. O'Brien in the old
lone district. There ars vast quantities
of the quicksilver formation, which ex-
tends for two miles in a zone from 300 to
400 feet wide. The lone district is about
ninety miles north of Tonopah and
seventy miles south of Wonder. 1t has
long been deserted as a mining camp,
and it's ranges have been used for stock
raising. A few persevering prospectors
kept up the search, and OBrien of Won.
der was among these.
Last January he first entered The dis
tricts and about Two weeks ago took up
4SO acres of the mineral deposit which
turns out to be cinnabar worth s. cents
a pound. A thirty-foot shat with eros g.
cuts had been worked before the infor-
nation was given out as authentic. The
produce is used for milling and medici
nal purposes and for art work. But few
cinnabar mines are known, one being
near Ell Paso and one in Spain.

OPERATIONS ARE LIVELY
IN WALKER LAKE MINES
Valuable Shipping Ore Is Found In
the Oh observation-disclosures
Capital Is Doing Big
Things

The Walker Lake country, in the
northwest portion of Esmeralda county,
Nevada, is coming to the front in nice
style, and ore that will do to ship to
mills and smelters has been found all
over this old reservation. The showing
is especially good on Cottonwood creek
where townsite named Lake View has
been laid out.
George D. Cross, a millionaire lumber
dealer of Chicago and associates have
secured by purchase number OF the
most promising claims along the creek
as well as an interest in the townsite.
With them is associated j. e. Teeter of
Goldfield, who has had wide experience
in mining all over the country.
A ten-stamp mill will be erected and
according to the plans formulated num-
ber of flatboats and gasoline tug will
be in operation to convey the ores either
to the mill or across the lake to the
Southern Pacific railroad.

STRAUB FAMILY is IDENTIFIED

Property Around Crescent, Nevada,
Appears to Look Good-VaIue
of the Ore Ship
ments

Special to The Herald
CRESCENT, New, July 2S-Crescent
will soon have another mine worthy of
the name, one that will be producing
and have an ore tonnage in reverve to
warrant the most optimistic in believing
that the Ajax Bullfrog will in a short
time be one of the big mines of southern
Nevada.
To the Straub family must be given all
the credit if the present predictions,
which are well warranted, should prove
true, as the property was located by a
straub, financed by Straub and devel-
oped under the watchful eye of another
end of the Sraub family. In fact every
action toward the developing of the
Wathena claim into a mine has beer
under the management of one of the
many wings of the Sraub family.
History of the Ajax
In the fall of 1905 Frank Straub located
the Wathena claim in Crescent during the
early excitement in that district later,
followed by Charles Straub, who after
examining the prospect thought so well
of it that he invested considerable money
to see what chances the new find held
forth. Shipping ore was encountered
close to the surface, and shipment was
made to the smelters that netted the
management $40 a ton net. This was the
incentive to the owners to start extensive
work which up to date has been very
gratifying,
The main working shaft is now down
over 200 feet, with drifts on the 100 and
2UO-foot levels running east and west,
showing about three feet of fine ore. M.
l.. Cook, M E, of Searchlight has just
completed the plans for the future de-
velopment, which will include sinking to
water level, erecting the five-stamp now
on the ground and blocking out sufficient
ore to keep the mill running twenty-four
hours a day after the stamps commence
dropping.
1t will take considerable work before
the property is thoroughly opened up,
but from the manner in which the de-
velopment is now proceeding before many
more months have passed the music OF
the stamps dropping on ore and pound
ing out bullion will be heard at the Ajax
Bul.frog.

1t is stated that within four months

Gently D. G. Doubleday and. associates

The syndicate also bought mill and
the water rights. The new owners have
changed the entire directorate of the new
company, the following being the new
directors: Humboldt Gates, the million
aire mine owner, president; D. G. Double
day, San Francisco and Los Angeles
broker, vice president; r. f. Crist Cen
trail Trust company, San Francisco, Cal
w. E. Botsford president American Ma
tional bank, Los Angeles; H. G. Perry,
mining engineer; George F. Moser, min
ing superintendent. Mr.. Botsford is the
only member of the old board of direc-
tors whose name appears among the new
directorate, all the other members hav-
ing been retired. George F. Moser was
the superintendent of the Johnnie Con-
for a number of years, and was the man
who developed the mine from the 400
level down to the 800. He will be re-
tanned as superintendent.
Development of the Mine
The Johnnie Con. shaft is down 700
feet with levels opened at every hun
dred feet, and on all the levels the ore
bodies have been developed, being con-
tinuous from the surface down. The
ledge is from five to twenty feet wide
and shows free gold values of from So
to $40 per ton throughout the mine. The
formation is lime and quartzite. The
ore is quartz, considerably iron stained,
carrying no sulphides or base metals,
the gold being entirely free, and is easily
crushed under the stamps. The main
shaft follows the ledge at an angle of
As degrees 1t is estimated that over 100,
600 tons of ore are blocked out, which
means over a million dollars. Besides
this the Crown Point Globe, which end
lines the Johnnie Con-, has made ar
rangements to have It's ore treated at
the plant, thus assuring sufficient work
for the mill for years to come.
There will be no question of water, for
the syndicate purchased four good-sized
springs that will furnish good water in
abundance. A new two-inch pipe line
will be laid for the new water works
system.
The leases which showed such rich ore
in their development on the Minnie Mae
claim have all reverted to the company,
and the management has signifed it's in
tention of commencing aggressive de-
velopment on this claim, which should
prove a very valuable acquisition.

Midnight BulIfrog Mine
special to The Herald


BEATTY, New, July 2S.-One of the
most favorably situated properties on
Ladd mountain is the Midnight group.
Development work on this property is
being carried on by means of a cross
cut tunnel from the 150-foot level, and
progress is being made at the rate of five
feet per day, two shifts being employed.
The objective point is the main ledge of
the National Bank, which crops further
up the hill, and where good values are
confidently expected to be found.
Some values have been found, but
nothing of special importance is expected
until one of the principal lodges is en-
countered.
Mr.. Gorrill is the president of this
COMPANY, Louis Schloss of Goldfeld is
vice president and the local management
is under the direction of E. S. Rose.
No less than three strikes are reported.
One from Echo canyon, one from Fur
mace creek and another from the Pana-
mints, near the site of the old time camp
of that name When the news of the
latter reached Rhyolite, and especially
when it was made known that twelve
sacks of $4,000 ore had been placed in
the Wells-Fargo express office for ship
ment, a stampede started for the new
diggings. In an hour the stores were
sold out of pack saddles, the latter sales
being at figures four times as high as
prices obtained at beginning of the sale.
A number of saddles were also bought in
Beatty.
