GOLDBANK BOO NJ
IS GROWING
BEST ROUTE TO THE CAMP
IS VIA WINNEMuCCA
Fourteen Leases Have Been Let and
Two are Being Actively Worked
Lots in Townsite Being Sold

A. s. Morgan, a well known pros
pector and property owner in uold
Bank, arrived last Tuesday evening
from the new camp and gives an inter.
esting account of the growth of the
boom of this latest of Humboldt coun-
ty strikes. Mr.. Morgan brought in
with him several samples of ore from
Gold Bank which he left at the Silver
State News office These are from the
surface, showing plainly the weather
effects on the upper side. The ore
shows silver sulphide in numerous
places and its value is probably about
800 to the ton.
The samples were taken from the
claims located by Smith, who has al
ready let fourteen leases ON his prop
erty, two of which are now being act
lively worked, and ore being taken
out.
More Leasing Ground.
Several more leases will be let at
Gold Bank on the Anderson property,
which adjoins the Smith claims. Ore
on this ground on the surface has
shown a value of $29 in gold and sill
yer, and Mr.. Morgan states that there
10 q hhV opPoi tuhiey " Sct " SVoN
lease if application is made at an ear
ly date.
Trading in lots in the new camp
has been quite brisk. All the main
street lots have been sold, and the
price has been $3.50 lor corner lots
and 800 for inside lots. Ten per
cent of the purchase price has been
paid for lots where purchases were
made. one man, it is said, bought a
lot for 800 one afternoon and the
next morning sold it for 5000. There
is saloon in the camp and prepara
tions are being made by Wonder
parties to establish a store there.
A fact pointed out by Mr.. Morgan
is that by far the best route to uolo
Bank is by way of Winnemueca. A
valley road leads all the way from
Humboldt s county seat to the camp
and the Winnemucca- hennedy stage
road runs within 200 yards from the
original strike. In fact the stage run
ming to Kennedy has but to make a
short detour from the main road To
pass through the main street of Gold
Bank. The townsite sidelines 40
acres of patented land owned by
Thomas Nelson of Stone House, and
from the well on this land the town
is now being supplied with water.
Gold Bank is growing rapidly and
it is believed by conservative men

WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF
PARADISE PHONE LINEf

The telephone to Paradise Valley is
again in operation after being out for
the past two weeks. The care and
time involved in keeping the tele-
phone line up has been so much that
the Home Telephone company have
submitted proposition to the people
of Paradise Valley whereby they are
to take care of the line and keep it in
working order A meeting was held
recently in the Valley to consider the
proposition, but no definite arrange
ments were made at that time.
The telephone line is great con
venience to the people of Paradise
Valley and they will probably take
some action toward keeping it in
working order.

PORTLAND. D.SALTLAKE
VIA WINNEMUCCA

The news has just been made public
in Salt Lake City of new railroad
that is to be built from Salt Lake
to Portland via Winnemucca and the
Salt Lake papers have published maps
70 the route, which shows it to extend
from Portland down through central
Oregon and passing from Oregon
through Nevada, via Winnemucca, to
Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake papers
say the news is based on facts, not
rumors, and the project is backed by
the millions of Senator w. A. Clark
The Salt Lake Tribune publishes
the following concerning the project:
The news comes to Salt Lake, predi-
Gated upon facts, not rumor, that
Portland and Salt Lake WILL in the
reasonably near future, be connected
by new link in a transcontinental
railroad chain as soon as labor and
capital can make the connection be-
tween the two cities. The enterprise
started out of Portland, as local
electric line, to be built and known
as the Mount Hood Railway and Pow
er company, but it now develops that
the matured plans are for the Salt
Lake project, backed by the millions
of Senator W. A. Clark and his asso-
ciate interests. Il. P. Clark of Los
Angeles, who has been personally di
recting the initial work done at the
Portland end, it is said, went to the
Pacific northwest as the personal rep
resentative of Senator Clark
When Senator Clark first entered
upon the jroject to purchase and com
plete the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroad, it was the inten-
tion at that time to extend the new
sysem to Portland. Later, it is assert
ed, the financial influences of the Har
riman system practically grasped con
troll of the new road, and by means of
clever traffic arrangements and manip-
ulation squeezed the new line into a
mere link of the larger system. When
this was accomplished the Oregon line
was for the time being abandoned,
and central Oregon g development was
retarded
1t is now believed that the Moffat
road between Denver and Salt Lake
City has been linked with the Rock
Island system and that the plans FOR
the new road from Salt Lake to Port
land have been practically agreed up
on. An Oregon man, heavily interest.

BLACK
DIAMOND

The parties who have lately ac-
quired the Black Diamond mines
north of Rosebud, the purchase of
which was published exclusively I'M
the Silver State News, are going rap
idly ahead with developing their prop
erty and are encountering a large
body of ledge matter which pans well
nigold. This ore body was encoun-
tered in extension work on the tunnel
that was started by Messrs. Latta and
the Carpenter brothers, ownes of the
property, which is destined to cut the
main ledge of the property from
which the surface groupings spring.

MT. TOBlN CANT
OF Merit

Dave Graham, business man
of Carson City and a mining
partner of w. S. Hill, in company
with j. w. Biggs, returned Tuesday
evening from a trip to Mount Tobin,
the new mining camp so miles south
of Winnemucca.
Both Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Bggs
have plenty of praise for Mount To
bin and freely state their belief that
it will ultimately become one of the
biggest mining camps in northern
Nevada. The development work so
far prosecuted, they say, has not been
sufficient to determine the full value
of the property originally located by
w. S. Hill, but judging from the sur.
face indications, the camp is one of
exceeding merit.

FIVE feet he had suddenly uncovered
what he presumes to be an ore shoot,
from which he took the samples he
showed to the astounded throng at
Golconda. The samples, number of
them, are all large and alive with the
yellow metal and estimates have been
made that ton of such ore would be
worth 100000.
Squaw valley is situated about SIS
miles due east of Golconda, in Elko
county. 1t has long been known as q
very favorable gold mining district
and some very fine prospects have
been opened up at Gold Circle, a
short distance from Squaw valley.
The story of Cramberger is accept
ed in part as true by Golconda people

MAKE A CINNIBAR
ORE STRIKE

Messrs. Carpenter and Ivory, pros
pectors in the Jackson mountain
range, were in Winnemucca yesterday
with samples of ore from new strike
which they have made not far from
the LeBarron ranch.
The ore showed freely in cinnibar,
and assays of the red mineral showed
it to run over SO per cent in sulphide
of mercury. AS soon as the assays
were obtained the locateors departed
Immediately for their find, intending
to do some further development and
location work before the matter is

Frequently you pick up one OF the
local papers, and, after glancing at
the headlines, wearily thrust itaside,
remnrking Nothing in the paper to-
day" Did yon ever stop to think
what that phrase-"N Nothing in the
paper this week'-means? It means
that in this week just past no ms
fortune has brfallen anyone in our
CITY: that no fire has wiped out a
neighbours worldly goods; that the
grim angel Of death has crossed nc
threshold or friend; that no man
driven by liquor, hatred or fear, hal
taken the life Of a fellow human; thai
no poor devil, haunted by the pas
or the nisdeed Of some other, ha
| crossed the divide by his own hand
that many things that ought not t
happen have not happened.
So the next time you pick up a pa
Der which doesn't announce a TRACE
