After Lying Dormant for
Thirty Years Reno
Field Is Active.
MUCH RESPECTING
Mining Men In the Field and Sew
eraI Properties Preparing to
Ship-..NeW Boom Probable.

A description of this district which
has lain dormant for the past 80
years, may be interesting to those
who have been associated with the
camp in the past decades, and also to
the present prospective investors who
are operating under the new and
present conditions of Nevada's new
era of mining activity. This camp is
situated six miles north of the main
line of the Southern Pacific railroad
being Immediately adjacent to the
Carson sink and laying laterally from
the station of Perran, the getting off
point. A good wagon road connects
the mines with the railroad which
has probably no more than 2 per
cent grade at any point. The miner
allied area covers the range immedi-
ately bordering on the desert and eX-
tends from the Queen mine about a
mile north and the same distance
southwesterly with a width of one
mile, which, so far, has been the
limit of the surface indications dis
covered.
The formations on the surface are
composed of syenik, undertake by red
and gray porphyry, in which the veins
occur principally, being assure veins
inasmuch as they seem to cut the
various strata diagonally. Work to
the extent of several thousand feet
has been performed and great
amount of ore extracted in the past,
being mainly a free milling quartz
carrying good gold and silver values
which run all the way from $40 to
1000 ton. 1t appears that the
past decade of miners were divided
as to the means of disposing of their
products, and a car service of two
car shipments day was sent to the
old mill at Reno with good results,
while others erected a 10-stamp and
6-stamp mill respectively at some dis
lance from the mines and hauled the
ores thither.
At the present time Fl distinct
quartz lodges are being worked upon
and each seems through courses CT
assays to be of sufficient value to
market right away, having gold and
silver values to warrant.
Walter Schmidt, the only pioneer
that remains to the district being
heavily interested, has a shaft sunk
to a depth of 243 feet which encoun-
tered four distinct veins, one of which
is rich silver ore, carrying native
silver and gold, tests of which run to
the $3.50 mark The Desert, King,
another of his properties, has a high
grade ore of phenomenal values in

Robert Roundtree, well known in
Carson wnere he spent his youth,
died of spinal meningitis at the camp
of Rawhide last Sunday. The young
man left Carson about week or ten
days ago for the new camp in COM
pany with John and Will Casson to
operate leases LAT they mad secured
there on some promising ground. He
was in the best of health and spirits
and only Saturday friends in Carson

jovial manner, and stating that ev-
erything was progressing in fine
shape and all were in high spirits.

have been previously agreed upon be-

defy detection unless the play can be
closely watched for large number of
games. and even then the evidence
would be very doubtful.
II is bad enough for people to study
out such methods themselves, but
when bridge teachers instruct their

improvements BEING Made

Improvements are being made to
sidewalks in various parts of the town,
some of them as the result of a pride
on the part of property owners, others
as the result of notices sent out. But
there should be hundred times the
repairs made that have been started
and miles of new walks should be laid
to put the town in proper shape.
Chatham has secured the paving OF
Madison avenue to the Madison Bor-
ough line and the latter municipality
is arranging to push the work through
that borough, but when you reach
Morristown there is woeful dearth
of paving on Madison avenue and
South street as well as in the streets
in other parts of town. One of the
most noticeable jobs in this line under
way is in front of the property Of
FL. G.. Emmell on Speedwell avenue
where the owner is having new
cement walk laid the full width Of
the property.

A terrific wind storm followed by
rain passed over Morristown suddenly
on Saturday afternoon doing consider
able damage within limited area.

and innumberable small branches
were blown down, while many bushes

Alderman Mowery at Norfolk.

Alderman Mowery at Norfolk.
We have received a copy of the
f" Ledger Despatch of Norfolk, Va
of date of September 2lst, containing
the following notice;
Ira Mowery. of Morristown, N. j.,
who is a delegate from that city to
the convention of the League of
American municipalities, expresses
himself as highly pleased with the
very elaborate and interesting provis-
ions ma lie by the eff ;ials of Norfolk
for the entertainment of the delega e =.
Mr.. Mowery says that it surpasses
anything in his former experiences.
|. LAS a former resident of Norfolk,
Mr.. Mowery is proud of the EXPOSE
tion and says it will compare favora-
bly, with any former exposition on it's
completeness and special features.
The marvellous growth of the city
since Mr.. Mowery left here eleven
years ago is a surprise to him.
Mr. Mowery succeeded in securing
the adoption OF an important reSolu-
tion by the League. He contends that
the way to secure good municipal gov
eminent is by raising the standard of
the electorate. He points out that
thousands are pouring in from abroad,
and the majority settle in the cities.
They need education to qualify them
to elect those who will administer af-
fairs of the municipalities.

The difficulty between the Evergreen
Cemetery Association and the Grace
Church, Madison, over the two acre
tract in the cemetery over which the
Madison church had the right to say
who should purchase lots therein has
been adjusted. The church woG in the
chancery case as lot had been sold by
it during the past few years, but since
that time the vestry Of the church has
relinquished all rights which it might
have had in the tract. This frees the
large centrally located plot for inn
provement and the general sale Of
lots Considerable grading must be
done, especially in filling in the hollow
on portion Of the tract.
