Fitzgibbon, what effect would the

Mr.. Kavanaugh-If you take the rich
lands of Meath Tipperary and Liner

the cattle? You would have to fatten
them at home.
But the very small farmer could not
stall feed his cattle? He gave an ex-
perience tried in his own locality A
large grazing tract was up for sale.
and in order that it should not be
bought by a grazier he advanced the
money to purchase it, and sold it to
the estates commissioners They ar

tenants in the neighboring congested
district, and settled them on the prop

FIND GOLD IN
COPPER DISTRICT

RHYOLITE. New, March 9.-Charles
Gentry, a miner and prospector who
has been operating in Colorado, Utah
and California for the past five years,
has made a strike four miles from
Schwab that has proved the sensation
of the new year in southern Nevada.
The strike was made in copper in the
heart of a district in which only gold
bearing lodges were thought to exist.
Four miles northeast of Schwab and
twenty-five miles south of Rhyolite
Gentry picked up a piece of ore that
looked good" He Immediately stakad
out five claims and brought his speci-
mems into Rhyolite for assay.
Gentry told the assayer, N. M. ST.
monds, of the location OF the strike. and
that night Simonds and Jack M. Kelsey
of Los Angeles left Rhyolite for the
scene of the strike in the van of one of
the most sensational stampedes OF
southern Nevada.
Every automobile in camp, with
horses and wagons, burro trains and
mule teams were pressed into service,
and before noon of the day on which
Simonds and Kelsey located the ad-
joining property to the discovery the
country four miles along the ridge had
been staked out.
THE strange thing is that 1t is rich
copper ledge in the heart of gold dis
trict Since the lrst gold strike in the
Lee Echo district prospectors have gone
over this ground time after time. look
ing for gold ore, but no thought has
been given to copper.
The country is of such a character
that few ledges show on the surface, as
the gold and copper does not leech read Z
lily, and not until development work is
started does the value of ore below
show.
THE Gentry strike was made possible
through the melting of the recent snow
that has been on the mountains, for a
little wash had been scored out on the
mountain side, and as the ledge was
but three feet below the surface bed
rock had been uncovered.
There Is great excitement in ths
Lee district over the recent fnds. AS

BULLFROG MINES
IN LIMEL|GHT
ENTIRE SECTION FRIENDLY TO
LOS ANGELES
Representative Men Visit the Angel
City to Boom Southern Nevada.
Trade Conditions Discussed
by Editor Clemens

Mine owners, prospectors and busi-
ness men of the Bullfrog district are
enthusiastic boosters for Bullfrog,
Rhyolite and Beatty.
During the past month the lobbies of
the Los Angeles hotels have swarmed
with mining men from the Bullfrog dis
trict to let the world know that the
Bullfrog is alive and that Rhyolite and
Beatty are on the map.
Among the more notable visitors have
been "Shorty" Harris, the man wao
discovered the district; Len P. McGar-
ry, another pioneer who located the
West Extension, on which big strike
was made last week; Judge Volney r..
Hoggatt, A. G.. Cushman, Il. L. Col
Inns, Will Murphy, Judge j, B. Lindsay,
]. j. Taylor, Clarence Lamb, Charles
Gorrill, Senator William M. Stewart,
William Tomney, w. H. Bishop, Curtis
Mann, j. Fl. Knowles, William Grif-
fths, James Dugan, f. p. Mannix and
e. r. Clemens.
Some of these men we're dead broke
two years ago, unable to buy a good
square meal. Today all of them are
abundantly able to stop at the best
hotels in the city and many of them
have bank accounts that will keep them
for life, and they made their money in
Nevada.
Bubble with Enthusiasm
The visitors were enthusiastic over
the development of their chosen camp,
which they claim viii be one of the
greatest producing gold and silver dis
tricts in the desert within q short tims
Mr.. Clemens, who is editor of the Rhy-
olite Herald, gave illustrated talks OF
the chamber of commerce, showing a
large number of views of southern Ne
vada, and Mr.. ManniX also conducted
similar lectures which were largely at
tended and much interest has been
shown.
Mr.. Clemens said: "In my opinion the
people OF Los Angeles do not appre-
ciate the possibilities Of the southern
Nevada mining camps. l take this
from two points of view; first from a
mining and second from a commercial
standpoint.
Has Commercial Possibilities
LOS Angeles is the natural market
for southern Nevada. The Bullfrog
district has its first railroad, giving II
direct connection with this city. and
in a short time the second road will
be finished from the south, giving a
double connection between Los Angeles
and the rapidly advancing mining
camps along the Nevada California bOr-
der. Los Angeles may do the whole
sale and jObbing business OF these
camps II the jobbers want TO do it;
Los Angeles may do the mining stock

prices for lots in the townsite have
jumped 100 per cent in the last twenty

kind that promises even greater things

added asset.

PopuIatlon Increases Rapidly


1--WE have 5000 people in the Bullfrog
district today, whereas, TWO years ago
there were scarcely twenty-five white
people between Goldfield and Manse, a
distance of 200 miles. We have mil
lions of dollars in ore blocked out In
the mines, plenty of water for milling
and domestic purposes, mills in build
ing, one railroad finished and two more
in course of construction, electricity
promised and various other good
features that combine to make the sit
uation very promising as a whole.
Everything is for the good at Rhyolite.
with a steady Improvement along all
lines.
"If the Bullfrog district is good
enough for Schwab, Clark, Farrell.
Rice, Wingheld, Oddie, Newhouse,
Gates and score or more of other
operators of national fame it should be
good enough for Los Angeles money.
Carry Their Samples
Nearly dozen of the jubilant Rhyo
lite miners visited The Herald office
and they brought with them samples of
what they are dealing in. These sam
pies are ore taken at random from a
mine where the vein is from forty
eight to fifty-four feet in width and
which is valued at from 50 to IS per
pound.
When Shorty" Harris made the
original strike at Bullfrog he did not
realize what later developed that he
had found veritable mountain of gold
and silver ore and which is declared to
be the largest body OF ore ever located
in Nevada.
This ore comes from the Bullfrog
West Extension, which is owned out
right by L. ID. McGarry Judge Volney
r. Hoggatt and a few associates, and
none of the stock is on the market
Judge Hoggatt recently was offered a
round half million dollars In cash for
his interest. but he laughingly said
that he still retained his interest in the
mine. and that In addition he had just
bought an adjoining claim, comprising
fraction over an acre, for $37 800 OF
the highest price ever paid for a tract
Of land Of the same area in Nevada.

PLAN TO PREVENT ANNUAL DEFICIT.
Trustees of Fifth Avenue Baptist Church to
Consider Change in System.

Members of the boards of deacons and trustees
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church were nchned
to think that the good talking to- regarding
church finances given to the congregation by the
Rev Dr. c. F. Aked on Sunday would accomplish
remarkable results. They believe that the members
now realize the obligations they TO the church
and to its pastor, and will join in some pan 'hat
will prevent an annual deficit in the future
THE trouble has BEEN said one OF the church
officials yesterday that have never raised our
entire budget before the end of the year. our nxeo
income consists of pew rentals. pledges OF weekly
offerings and the weekly plate collections AL the
end of every year we have faced a deficit or S5OVo
or $4,000 This year the deficit was $1,000. on account
of some additional expenses. But we have never
closed the year in debt.
You see. many persons refrained from giving
any large contributions the first of the year.
have been one of those myself. And why not?
Because we always knew there would be a dencit
and we would be asked again. The only way to
remedy things. is insist raising the entire
budget the first of every year. Let everybody
agree to pay his share at that time and have no
supplementary contributions.
1T is true that some people in this church neg
lect their opportunity display their ten
dencies because they rely too much on tho persons
that this church could have supported itself hand
somey. even If IL did not have these persons to
rely on. as there are many members of average
means"
The question of changing the method of raising
the budget will be taken up by the trustees at an
early meeting.
