operations of Leo Mushett, and Others
from this section. Mr. Mushett is
postmaster of Tonopah, and the son
of James Mushett of this city. The
report that he has cleaned up big
fortune, aud likely to realize more
by his present ventures, Will be re-
ceiVed with satisfaction by his many
friends here:
Mohawk Mushett, Shorty"
Kendall and Booster" McSorIey-
if that amt a com binatIon to conjure
with, we'll pass the buck.
Such a triumVirate would incite
the immortal jealousy of the gods.
And that is the bunch who have indi-
vidually and collectively SHE'D their
castors into the mining game at
Round Mountain within the past fort
night.
When a Zig, black touring auto
chugged into Round Mountain last
Wednesday. bearing the above named
gentleman, the last chapter of one of
the most important mining deals ever
made in camp was enacted. Ten
thousand dollars of the "sun burnt
money of our Uncle Samuel was
dragged into view and the first pay
ment made on four claims located
adjoining the Sunnyside, Great
Western and Sphinx properties.
The original Ioeators we're W. IL.
Browne, Eta Hoffman, Max Pannier
and W. Ii. Snyder. The deal was
made by DIR. Breitstein, A. il Spen
Ger aud M. ID. BaihIy.
The Round Mountain Mohawk Min
ing Company has been Incorporated
under the laws of Nevada with
capitalization of 1000, 000 shares at
pair value of 81 per share.
l.. l.. Musl ett has been elected
president of the company; Zeb Ken
dali, vice president; Eugene Howell,
seeI etary; K. &. Moore, treasurer.
These, with j. j. McSorley, constitute
the directorate. The work will be
done under the superintendency of
Thomas II. McSoiley, who opened up
the Sphinx and the Daisy, and who is
general manager of the latter com
pany. Nh McSorley has established
reputation as mine manager and
the new company is much elated over
securing his services, which portends
good from the start.
The stock of this company will be
listed on the various exchanges as
soon as the arrangements can be
made.
From the interest they are taking
IN the district it is evident that they
expect big things doing, and are GO
ing right ahead with the work in
order that the property will prove tor
itself. -i'
In discussing the surface showlngs
at Round Mountain, Mr. Kendall spoke
as follows:
81 have never seen anything like IT
in all my career in the state, and
do not doubt for minute that these
showings will improve with depth.
1t is actual fact that the ground is
fairly alive with the yellow metal the
like OF which / have never s ell. II
certainly looks good to me, and L was
surprised that there was so much
ground to be had at such reasonable
prices. The district is practically ly
undeveloped and the showings now
present have been made with little OIL
no effort. | predict that when active
development Is under way the sensa
tions Will follow one another In Quick
succession.
Mohawk" Mushett, as he is ia.
miliarly konwn since the phenomenal
rise In Goldfield Mohawk, by which
he cleaned up in the neighborhood OF
half million dollars, speaks OF
Round Mountain in the most glowing
terms. Together with Fred Chapman,
Mr. Mushett has secured leases on the
Great Western and Daisy properties.
Men have been put to work and high
grade ore has been taken out from
The ore will be run through the
Moore Chapman mill as fast as it is
taken out.
Messrs McSorley, Mushett and Ken
dali are optimistic over the ground
secured by the Round Mountain Mo
hawk Mining Company. A force OF
men will open the property at once,
and it is the opinion of experts that
this will soon be one of the big pre-
ducing mines of the district.
Shorty" Kendall is one of the
best known leasers and operators of
Southern Nevada. His luck is pro-
verbal and common saying is that
wherever "Shorty" Kendall haIts in
a new district, there gold will be
found.
And who in Southern Nevada has
not heard of Booster" McSorley?
With him to boost is as natural as
drinking whiskey is to Kentuckian.
Raised in good old Cala7eras county,
California. Mr. McSorley seems to
know by intuition where to look for
the golden treasures of the earth.
Truly this is the favored camp of
Southern Nevada-and we are but an
infant.
