GREEN SPRINGS TO
BE NEW DISTRICT

A new district has been discovered in
the northern part of Nye county. called
Green Springs and its owe claim
1t will prove a hummer. ID. J. Kennedy
of Fallon appears to be responsible for
Introduction of Green Springs to outside
world. He became interested in some
claims in that section and a short time
property. The results were from $12
to more than $1,000 a ton.
Mr.. Kennedy predicts a stampede for
the new district as soon as the condi-
tions existing there become generally
known. There Is a large territory of
virgin country. highly mineralized, car
rying gold. copper and silver values for
miles around. The section has an
abundance OF water and wood and there
is plenty of material for fiuxing pur-
poses.
"One of the great features of the new
country" says Mr.. Kennedy. is two con-
facts running parallel, from 400 to 500
feet wide and about three miles apart.
They can be traced for many miles in
a northwesterly and southeasterly direc-
ton. This is said to be the same belt
that reaches Goldfeld and Wonder. !
never saw so many well defined lodges
and outcrops carrying values"
The district can be reached by wagon
road from Nina or Luning. the distance
being about 40 or so miles by wac of
Downeyville. Green Springs also lies
about As or so miles southeast of Won
der and Fairview.

Following radium and cobalt, and the
Jurors caused by these in the scientific
world. tungsten is now occupying the
attention of the mineralogists.
Tungsten is not newly discovered
metal. but the discovery of a myriad of
uses for it have increased its value and
made it as much sought for as gold.
Tungsten is to refined steel almost as
essential as copper is to electricity. In
this connection it occupies the peculiar
position of both an economic and a pre-
cious metal.
Metallic tungsten has a specific grav-
ity of 1877 and defies combustion. Used
in steel, 1t destroys the process of
capitalization. For hardening tools,
guns and armor plate beyond any posi-
bility of ordinary cleavage, 1t has be-
come an essential.
Recently scientists declare that tung-
stem will supplant the tiny platinum
thread in the incandescent globe. giving
forth three times the light.
Tungsten occurs in wolfranite, tub
nernite and sheelite. The 50 per cent
metal is worth $1.25 a pound.
Within the past few months so many
new uses have been found for tungsten
that the demand passes all prospect for
supply. Like tin, the deposits of tung-
stem are few and the quantity where II
is found extremely mall. The principal
supply comes from Australia. England
and Germany, and recently some has
been discovered In America.
1t seems incredible that mineral OF
this value ould be used in armol
plate, but the exigencies of war know
no limit in extravagance.-Butte News

The rich gold strike in Wild Rose
canyon is a puzzler to all who have
gone there. Assays nav been obtained
running as high as $1,000 in gold,
but the formation is not in place. in
fact, there is no formation to 1t, accord
ing to Thomas A. Hainsworth, who has
just returned from the scene Of the
new strike. He states that the values
are obtained from a mass of hungry"
granite. schist and gypsum Inc that no
ledge has been found in place. The
discovery was made by a Mr.. Leonard
from Greenwater who has not been
able as yet to loacte the source of the
gold in solid ~foItnation. Many went to
the scene of the strike from Skiddoo
but on seeing the jumbled mass which
they were told carried gold, turned
away in disappointment and looked no
further for the ledge.
Mr.. Hainsworth located five claims
for himself, Mulberry and Waits. which
are close in to the discovery. He says
that if the ledge can be found, 1t will
be a wonder.

ROUND MT. FAIR
VIEW IN NEW ORE

Again the famous Fairview mine has
come to the front with the discovery of
a new body of high grade milling ore.
This latest vein has been struck at a
distance in the tunnel of $50 feet. The
crosscut was run about 1s5 feet when
the vein was struck and a force OF men
are now at work drifting on the ledge.
All the ore in this ledge is of a milling
character. the average value across the
ledge being about SIS. The ledge mat
ter is a porphyritic quartz and the aver
age width is six feet.
Superintendent Jesse Harris also has
a force of men at work on a crosscut

SITS a ton. The Fairview people ex-
press great satisfaction at results be-
ing obtained and without a doubt will
soon arrange for the building of a mill.
w. H.. Clark, the Tonopah promoter
and operator, inspected the Fairview
property Monday and stated that he
considered 1t a wonderful property,
with easily enough ore in sight to justi-
fly a mill. As Mr.. Clark stated, the Fair
view has big ledge, carrying good values
and the walls are we'll defined.
According to Mr.. Harris the first
crosscut in the unnel has just broker
into what seems to be a very good body
of ore. at a distance of about so feet
from the tunnel. AS we go to press II
is too early to learn what the extent
of this strike may be.-Nugget.

Glowing reports continue to come in
from the Regent district. Otto Stein
heimer. who has just returned from his

tivity on the different properties. A
townsite has been plated. and a number
of business enterprises are now well un-

and boarding house ave been estab-
lished. and the new town is in line for
a boom of big proportions.
A number OF investors are coming
into the district and several big deals
are on the point of going through This
will mean an influx OF capital into the
district III will mean the opening up
of many of the rich properties. A large
number of men are employed opening up
the ground and the rich values are still
holding. In fact, a shipment OF ore
could be made at any time. This GER
tainly speaks well for the future OF this
camp. and 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing If a big boom set in at an early date.

STONEWAIL DISTRICT IS

The StonewaI1 district. about twelve
miles south OF Goidneid. is rapidly COM
ing to the front and prospective inves-
tors may soon have an opportunity to
get in on the ground loo in one more
new camp. In fact there are some very
promising prospects now being devel-
oped in the district and IL surface indi-
cations are to be relied upon. the pros

up in that section are very bright.

few days ago. in company with William
Huggard. president and general manage
of the Golden Dawn company. and came
back with a very enthusiastic report of
the formation and general appearance of
the whole district. Mr.. Hamilton says
the formation Is identical. in many re-
spects. with that of the Wonder dis
trict. There are a number of large
veins running through the entire dis
trict that are from Is to 40 feet wide.
Great Rhyolite dykes can be followed
for a considerable distance. The forma-
ton is principally granite. with a bed
of limestone to which the ore bodies
seem to cling. The country is well tim
bered and there is water in abundance,
Stonewall springs being within a mile
and a half of the Golden Dawn group.

Many people are at a loss to know at
what stage of the developments Of a
mine it is best to buy it's stock.
There is no best time.
In the beginning a mine is little more
than a prospect and it's stock is sold
very low on account of the risk of sue
cess that attends all new projects, and
1t is hard to sell the shares in such a
property as a consequence.
1t is to Offset the rich and unsal-
ability of such a stock that 1t Is offered
at a very low price, and the purchaser
takes the risk and gets the benefit.
If the mine afterward proves a sue
cess the purchaser bought the stock at
the best time, and makes the most
money possible from his investment.

vanced state of development before in

the property should not be placed at
