Eddy claims to have struck 1t rich
in the Panamints, and has detcrmin-
ed to make as many newspapermen
as he can rich. He Says that in the
two former fortunes nn made in pros

filthy lucre sufficiently well to over

in the original proposition by Salt
Lake newspapermen, and SINCE they
have secured fourteen of the best
claims in the district, Eddy is now
plotting the representative nf the
Rhyolite newspapermeu into the
country to give them the best that Is
left. Eddy and his Salt Lake party
have located the water rights in the
immediate neighborhood of his dis
covery and the Rhyolite newspaper
men will establish a toWnsiLc. beside
locating a number of ciaiiIs.
Eddy found a ledge twelve feet
wide which crops out for miles along
the side of Telescope peak The av-
erage assays showed in lShyolite are
from $2S to $51 in gold. From looks
of the ore it is believed that II VIII

camp. Gold, silver ani copper are
in evidence, as well as lea1 and silver
minerals. The news here was so
favorably. received that several par
ties were organized who watched
Eddy two days before his departure
and then followed his trail. 1t is
believed to be the initiatory of the
greatest rush of the season. Great
est excitement prevails. But, de-
spite the rush, it will be a newspaper
enterprise and newspaper camp.
The newspapermen will have the first
forty or fifty claims, the water rights
and the townsite. The name of the
new camp will be Shadow Mountain.
This was suggested by the dark lava
rock upon the side of the peak above
the camp, which gives the appearance
of deep shadow in the distance.
Even the names of the claims To-
Gated have the newspaper mark, and
are the oldest ever heard in mining
camp For instance, claims bear the
following names: "The Lead"
Freak add" "Pick Up," "Thir-
ty," Composing Stick" "Chase, :"
Composing Stone,' Galley" NAL
let, Linotype" Proof" Devil"
Press" and a number of newspapers
are named in the list, including the
Bullfrog Miner and the Rhyolite Her.
aid The new camp is within three
miles of Scotty's camp and all of the
people who have seen Eddy's assays
now believe that the newspaper fra
ternity who have been given chance
in the new camp stand good chance
to get rich. There is the fullest be-
lief here in the discovery.
Free gold has not only been found
in the ledge discovered by Eddy, but
it has been found at the grass rnots
along the contact and in the bed of
the canyon near the place. 1t is be-
lieved that placer mining will result
from the discovery. The newspaper
men will locate placer mines in the
district. Water is abundant, as 1t is
above the camp. The camp is at an
altitude of 5000 feet. When Eddy
meets Scotty he intends to extend his
hand in the name of the newspaper
men who are behind him, and he
thinks that this will result in an ami
cable settlement, as Scotty has been
treated well by the fraternity. The
newspaper representatives expect to
be absent about ten days.
