j. G. crumIey,s Father Dead.

The sad intelligence was received
in Tonopah yesterday morning by
wire to j. Grant Crumley, of the
death of his father at Newkirk, Okla
homa, Monday night. Mr.. Crumley
was a minister in the Methodist
church and had a high standing as a
pulpit orator and effective worker n
his chosen calling. One of his donii-
nant traits was a high regard for the
ministerial profession.
He was a native of Georgia, but his
belief was that the south was wrong
in her position of secession and lie
enlisted and served in the UniAn
army during the Civil war, winning
honorable distinction, and at the
close of the wal was a commissio led
officer in the Twelfth Tennessee
cavalry.
During the great crisis the mem
bers of Mr.. Crumley's family lived il
Indiana, returning to Georgia at its
close. In 1876 he received a call to
fill a pulpit in Kansas and from there
the conference sent him to Pueblo,
Colorado, the Methodist church bel /, &
the largest and having the most in
%iuential congregation in southern
Colorado. The aged minister he's
bid farewell to his flock and retired
from active service. In 1894 MI.
Crumley emigrated to the new terri
tory of Oklahoma, where he has since
lived and where he made his horne.
BY shrewd investments in lands he
accumulated quite a considerable for,
tune.
The immediate cause of his death
was attributed to heart failure. His
age was 76 years. He is survived BY
his helpmeet in life, whose age is 4
and sever children, Sarah Crumley
j. Grant Crumley, Newton Crumley
Charles Crumley, Sherman Crumley
Thomas Crumley, John S. Crumley
and an adopted daughter Vivian
Crumley. The funeral services will,
take place at 2:30 this afternoon II
Newkirk.
Mr.. ]. G. Crumley's place of bust,
ness in this city was closed yesterday
and will remain closed today unit,
after the funeral services.

ATWOOD DISTRICT
COMMANDS NOTICE
People Attracted TO District by Re.
turns Secured from Mines.

That Atwood is destined to become
one of the leading camps this fall is
now a foregone conclusion. Almos.
daily are men repairing to the dis-
trict to look over the mines and IL
possible SECURE leases in that favor
ed locality. This morning j. G.
Richardson will leave with a party
of men to superintendent the con-
struction and operation Of a mill on
the Griggs-Atwood lease.
1. G. Towers, who has been Ieas-
ing on the Pactolus, together with
seven others, arrived in this city yes
terday. His purpose was to en-
deavor to amicably adjust If possible
some little difference that exists on
the part of one of the leasers as to
the division of a result of their win
ter's and some of their summers
work on the lease. Three carloads
of ore are standing on the sideline at
Luning awaiting shipment to Salt
Lake. The average of the ore being
$500 per ton, the values about eqaal
in gold and silver.
The rumored sale of the P~actolus
was not consumated. The engineers
had made a favorable report on the
property and the price fixed was sal
to be $125,000, but the owners ~
fused to let go for less than SITS
900.
The strike on the Butler has d..
veloped into magnificent proportions.
The entire bottom of the 200-foot
shaft being in ore, the values going
$3.50 per ton. Jim Butler, the own
er, is a man who is a credit in any
camp, for Immediately upon his
breaking into the ere he ordered
several ase of wine and the choic-
est delicacies that the market could
afford and every man and woman in
the camp sat down to a banquet int
would have done credit at the Wa
dorf-Astoria.
Assays from the Gold Crown, the
property of Frank Everett, give val
ues as high as $270 to the ton. Mr..
Everett arrived in Atwood yesterday
and Immediately left for Nevada
City. California, where he has a prop
erty on which a 10-stamp mill is IN
operation. He claims that Atwood IS
the peer of them all.
A m is current that the Sierra

RETURNS FROM A
TRIP TO ELY CAMP
Dave Holland Has High Opinion Of
Great Copper District.

Dave Holland, Charles Kirchen,
Bert Rusk, A. j. Hinkley and George
letter came in from Ely yesterday by
way Of Typo. The gentlemen had
been on a tour of inspection OF mines
in the Ely district in which Mr.. Hol-
land is heavily interested.
MI. Holland upon being seen last
night said: Ely certainly has a
great future. When one stops to
contemplate that millions upon mil
lions have been invested in smelling
and mining interests by the Guggea-
helms, perhaps the largest operators
in the world, it certainly requires 10
great stretch of the Imagination to
ssy that the eyes of the world are
upon Nevada; and yet Ely is but a
srlall section of this great state.
They have but one furnace IN .ht
smelter running at present and are
tresting about 1900 tons of ore daily.
Ten more furnaces will soon be ~ OPP.
Grafton and then the copper industry
in Nevada will be fully launched 1t
is estimated that the cost Of mining
the ore, loading on the cars and haul
ing il about twenty miles is Gcna st
q cost Of less than 81 a ton. Every
automatic device has been brought
into requisition to accomplish this
en-. A vast army of men are at work
ir the district, authorities pdcips
the number at 10000.
"The direct object of my visit,
however, was the inspection of the
property in which / am interested
with E. l.. Fletcher, which Is located
on Muncil creek, about twenty miles
from Ely. A vast amount of work
has been done on the property and a
ledge has been opened up for a great
I distance. The ledge is about nine
teen feet wide and contains over 25
per cent copper, with a relative pro-
portion of gold and silver. One can
well understand the value of this
property when it is known that we
are building a toll road from the
mine to the smelter, a distance of
twenty miles, where WI will hlva Il
market for our ores.

ORC CITY is A
BUsTLING CAMP
Considerable Activity in the Leases
and Mines in that District

Robert ]. Highland, the wei.
known mining engineer, is in from
Orc City, the q camp near Haw-
thorne, and reports considerable
activity in that district. In speaking
of the progress of the camp last
evening, Mr.. Highland said: "The
Jumbo lease, which is being operated
by Tonopah parties is doing extea-
sive development work. At the bot
tom of a 6O-foot winze they recently
started a drift and after going for ten
feet encountered a two-foot vein OF
ore which assays from $50 to 800 a
ton. They have just completed a
test IL of this ore in the Orc custom
mill and the results obtained were
more than satisfactory. The mill has
closed down temporarily for repairs,
but will start up again inside of ten
days and then will run steadily foe
several weeks on Jumbo ore.
Another leaser in the camp is
c. M. McNallen, who is operating az
the Dorothy. He has a shaft down
for fifty feet and has encountered
a 20-inch vein of high grade ore. The
Solar Plexus company had a S0-day
mill run and shipped out to the mint
a handsome bar of bullion. NJ.
Fink and Colorado associates have
purchased the Crystal group and will
commence working two shifts on lde
first of the month. They have a 20
foot tunnel ON the property and hav.s
encountered a three-foot ledge of fine
milling quartz.
1.-THE Bar Gold Mining company,
which owns a group of seven claims.
will also commence active operations
on August /. on the Ethel claim. As
says from the surface gave retu.1s
from $25 to $40 and the lodges will
be developed. A 70-foot tunnel has
been driven on the Lolo claim, in
which a two-foot ledge of good mill
ing ore was found.
The Orc City Townsite and Wate:
company, which owns the Orc custom
mill, has purchased all the wl:er
rights surrounding the camp and
have completed a pipe line into the
place. The water is tapped from a
spring three miles south Of the town.
site and they have an unlimited sup
ply.
There are about forty people IN
the camp at present and new arrivals
are coming in steadily. Everyone IS
working and the camp presents a
prosperous appearance. Conditio rs
are improving all through the Walk
er lake district. The country Is
swarming with p~rospectors and new
finds are reported daily.
''The Lucky Boy mine. which was
recently sold for $4,000 and is
situated about five miles from Orc
City, claim to have about a million
dollars worth of ore in sight ami
have a force of fifty men at work in
the property. They are hauling ore
daily to Thorne, the nearest railroad
station. The sale of this propc:tv
had a tendency to stimulate interest
in mining throughout that entire
country"
Mr.. Highland returns to Orc Clgg
this morning and will be accompan-
led by a first-class mill man to take.
charge of the custom mill there.
