PRAISE DISTRICT HIGHLY

General Charles S. Warren, the veteran
Butte operator, who went into the camp
when there were less than half dozen
men there; John MacGinnis, president of
the Silver Bow National bank and presi-
dent of the HeinZe companies in the big
camp of copper with Frank Collins, of
Butte and II. II. Armstead, jr., of New
York, have been buying into the mines at
Tenabo Nevada. They came from camp
yesterday morning and most of them will
leave for Butte again within day or two.
Wesley Warren, General Warren's son,
and a well-known mining engineer, who
was one of the first in TOnopah, and who
has taken in about every new camp in
Nevada since, was also with the party. 1t
was on his representations that his father
finally consented TO visit the Tenabo camp
and it was on the showing that presented
itself on his arrival there that the proper
ties were purchased
The ground secured consists of three
claims adjoining the Little Gem, of the
Reliance company, on the west and north
and which, with the properties of ECcles
& kadish, of Ogden, almost surrounds the
Little Gem ground. General Warren de-
the ground with the explanation that il
had not been purchased for show, but for
mining purposes.
Four Men Own 1t.
-Four of us own it, said General War
rem, and we shall organize a company,
of course. TO operate it. as that is the
proper and only way to do. I have not
been in Nevada since the early DAYS of
Tonopah, when / went in there and saw
5000 sacks of high-grade ore piled up
awaiting shipment Since then / spent
a good deal of money il the state, includ-
ing $4,000 that l blew in at Greenwatsr
without having seen the country.
When my attention was called to Ten
abo and the chance there for making
good investment; when the character of
heinz nTGnrlE-aFnH nv ,F1,sY 81
and l was urged to get in before it was
too late, l simply replied: Well you
can't stampede me; I'll go and look at
it I wired my son to meet me here and.
in company with him and Mr. Collins I
went to camp. We spent three days on
the ground; | made about forty paintings
on my own account. and. while I don't
care whether the public is told a bout il OF
not l want to say that the string of gold
I got with every trial was such that any
one of them, if made in Montana, would
cause an instant stampede.
What Prompted Investment.
But never mind about the property we
purchased; that will take care of itself. I
know every camp in the west and I was
in great many of the best OF them be-
way from RosSland. 3. c.. down to Death
Valley I was in TOnOpah aGd GOldfield
early in the game and 1 want to say right
now that TenabO Is the best camp L ever
saw for the amount of DEVELOPMENT WORK
done barring TOnopah. 1t is better than
Goldf1eld was at eighteen months old: It
IS better than Butte was after fifteen
years and better than the Occur d AlenoS
at the end of ten years of life. That is
why [ bought into the district. That $
why am going to mine there in company
with the men associated with me-"
In a letter to mis- father giving general
information concerning the Tenabo dis
trict, Wesley Warren. after giving the 10
cation Of the camp and describing the for
nation. character of lodges. minerallza-
ton, etc, says:
There are about ten shipping properties
in this district. the principal ones being
the Gem, Phoenix, Grand Victor. Little
Swede, Gold quartz and Two Widows to-
gether with several leaSerS who are work
ing on the Gold Quartz, Phoenix and 9TH
CT properties. I have visited all Of the
most important camps of Nevada AMI
was one of the pioneers of TOnopah and
GOldfield, but none of them appealed 10
me as having the promising outlook that
IenabQ has"
