Walker Lake Reservation Claims Not
Worked Attracting Prospectors
TONOPAH, Jan. 26.-within a few
days time the ninety days allowed by
the mining statutes for the accom-
plishment of the work necessary to
hold a mineral claim will have clap
sed so far as the claims taken up
within the boundaries of the Walker
Lake Reservation ars concerned. 1t is
now predicted that men will be on
hand on the date of expiration to To-
cate any ground on which the work
has not been done. There are many
claims that are being actively ex-
plored in the reservation, but there
are also a large number on which the
original locators have done nothing.
Tt is these latter properties that many
prospeotors are eying covetousIy. The
section may have something of a boom
by reason of the influx of men,
G. III. Anderson. who went into the
Walker Lake Reservation with the
rush at the time of the opening last
fall, brings encouraging reports of
work in the district. Anderson has
fifteen claims located near Dry Creek.
When he left the camp at Dry Creek
there were more than ninety tents
there and more were being put up
every week. On the old Dutchman
mine the leasers are meeting with
good results.

quencc the drinkables which 1t carries

Those who were not buried began to
dig out their comrades, while messen-
gers were sent to nearby villages ask
ing for help. Several physicians and
a largo force of workmen were sent
TO the scene of the disaster from Bop
pard and other towns. The rescue
work, which was continued through
out the night, was dangerous owing
to the possibility of fresh masses Of
earth falling on the laborers. Most
of the worlSmen killed were young
