THE NEW CAMP OF BULLION
Extracts Taken From a Conserv-
alive Write-Up of the New
Mining District

Bullion Mining District. just over
the western boundary line Of Eureka
County. in Lander, is rapidly forging irs
way to the front. For the past year a
vast amount of prospecting aud develop
meDt work has bsen going forward in
the district aud occasional favorable
strikes have been reported in the
various mining properties. but not un-
til a newspaper was established there
has the mineral extent and richness of
the district peer accorded that recogni-
ton it SO well deserves.
The Bullion Miner contains a well
written and conservative write-up of
the district, from which the following
extracts are taken, showing what has
already been done and still doing in
that section:
The district has an area of 20 square
miles. all mineral ground and nearly all
located.
Gold was first discovered here in
paying quantities by @. +. Montgomery
in 1905. but no real effort was made to
follow mp this discovery until the
Spring of 1906. For 40 years, however.
the district has beer known to be valu.
able for minerals.
Two ranges of hills divide the camp
so as to make three distinct settlements.
These are Tenabo, Lander and Mud
Springs. These are all connected with
each other and the railroad by good
natural roadways.
Tenabo is a plated town, and includ.
ing those portions Of the camp called
the Gold Quartz and Little Gem, has a
population Of $50 people. This town
has a general store, we'll stocked; a
hotel; a rooming house; two mineral
surveyors; an assayer; a lawyer; a den
fist; lumber merchant contractors; trac.
ton company; telephone line connecting
with Beowawe; a bank in process of or.
ganization; two restaurants and five
saloons.
Lander, two and one-half miles
northwest of Tenabo over the first
range of hills about 500 feet high. is al.
so a plated townsite, and has a popula-
ton of 100 people. Indian Creek which
furnishes a supply Of good. pure. cold
water all of the year, runs through
Lander.
Mud Springs is about 3 miles farther
north. over the second range of hills
about 600 feet above Lander, and in
cludes the territory surrounding the
Murphy ranch, and is a scattered settle.
ment of miners in tents. The popula.
ton is about 100 people.
There are 12 distinct claims with
shipping ore. and there are many others
properties which are waiting to put in
plants, and are able to show ore rang
ing from $40 TO $500 per ton.
A post office is in each of the towns
of Tenabo and Lander.
The accommodations for trausients
are excellent for a mining camp.

Rich Strike Reported Near Cortez

Rich Strike Reported Near COrtez
The Elko Independent of August IS
says: Mr.. Flynn and Mr.. Edwards,
two mining men who are interested in
the Bullion district, Lander County, are
in owl. They bring the new of a
rich discovery made four days age
about a mile and a half from Cortez.
A big ledge has been found that assays
high in gold. the lowest Of many assays
giving $50 to the ton. The ledge is well
defined aud has been traced by crop.
pings for over 1000 feet. Prospectors are
said to be rushing into the country by
the hundreds. While Mr.. Flynn nor
Mr.. Edwards has visited the find, we
understand that they have talked with
men who have seen the ledge and that
all tell the same story of its extent and
richness. If the reports are true the
find is the biggest aver made in the
State.
