Mine Superintendent Make
Report on RaWhide to til
United States Smelling AM
Refining Company.

Iof showings went to the Kea
lease No. 2 on the Balloon hill,
terday, and there | saw three feet
ore. While | was there g
sample was taken from the led
and | saw the assay made from
which returned $3910 to the ton
THAT looks pretty good to
and while | didn't find many of SD
| cases, there were showings to
found wherever we went. | neJ
saw such showings in my life,
| don't believe that anyone else ev
did. The merit of the camp is It'd
the showings are not confined to
particular spot. Balloon Is one
the greatest mountains of ore ev
seen anywhere, and two and ha
miles away from there is. the Roy
Tiger, which Is certainly anoth
wonder. There is no doubt that the
will be something good opened b
tween these points; in fact, there a
good showings now in the inteifnl.
"Rawhide is the busiest place d
the coast at the present time. TheI
is blasting going on by day and d
night, there is business of all kind
going on all the time. There is COZ
siderable money going into the cam
now; money to buy properties, an
money to invest in business. Raw
hide has the center Of the stage. AM
1t is going to occupy it for a lon
time to come.
The real estate values are higlN
too high. perhaps, but there is
great demand for real property, an
they are building far up on Rawhid
avenue. But the camp itself is tn B
thing, for whatever has been don
there has been done on merit, adj
not on jawbone. The men have use&
their own money and their muscle&
and this accounts for the lack o
depth. On the Big Four lease1
which is south of the Murray, lease
they had big strike last week. Tho
Murray lease is sacking ore. Tha
lease is one of the wonders of Raw
hide. They are sacking on Kearn4
lease No. l and No. 2. On the lat
ter they are sacking everything al
1t comes from the mine There ii
not an hour of the day or night tha
the sound of the blast is not heard
and the sound is good one There
was a big strike back of Hooligan
hill few days ago, and they ard
sacking ore from the Miller lease onI
Hooligan hill. The people are COM
ing in there at the rate of seventy
five to hundred day Eastern
capital has started to go in.
"The crowd from Reno on We'd
nesday was very pleased at what
they saw, and there was not a few
Investors in the bunch. f.. w. King,
the Montana millionaire, who owns|
most of Balloon hill. has gone out|
of the camp, and when he returns|
he will bring some more capital with
him. The general impression Is that|
c. w. Gates, and some of his crowd.
will return to the camp for they were
all favorably impressed. There must
be in the neighborhood of five thou
sand people in the camp. went to
on business and had no
idea of what was going to see. and
am going back there Rawhide Is
4 hummer. and you might as well
-ry to stay the tide as to attempt to
stop the boom. for II Is boom on
merit.
