Each party agreed to notify the other by
pistol shot in case they struck it. The
Johnston party entered what is now
called Iowa Gulch, and the Stevens crowd
tried their luck in another gulch to the
left. For time neither party had any
success The Stevens crowd became
hungry, and man named Slater started
for the cache.
In his absence, Abe Lee began to pan

has been the scene of greater activity
than at any time since the repeal of the
price of silver has created new demand
for the carbonate ores that made the

being reopened, and new discoveries have
been reported in many places in the
vicinity that would have been sensa-

interest of the new districts of Southern
Nevada. AS consequence, every chance

Irishmen who took him in and shared

pendence, the ore running all the way from
five thousand to thirty-eight thousand

load of ore was shipped to the Denver

hundred and eighty thousand dollars In

of eight million dollars from an English
syndicate. Five years later, after taking
millions from his mine, he sold out for
ten million dollars
