Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-01-14


most in the making of it.
The Kearns lease is down eighty
feet, and at that depth there are four
feet of ore which will go $500 to the
ton. and twelve feet that will go $3.50
to the ton.
Just below is the Murray lease, on
the Bald Hornet claim, on which a
big strike has just been uncovered,
assays from which gave $662.97,
$5SS.33. and $1509.92.
There are other men of means be-
sides Mr.. King, who recently bought
six claims on Balloon Hill for $780,.
600, who have CHANGED into Rawhide,
who have gone there. have seen what
there was, have been convinced, and
have put in their money, and will
work to make the camp the success
that is promised for it. Frank
Boehme, prominent capitalist OF
Milwaukee, started to tour the world
i'll search of health. He got to San
Francisco, and leaving there, stop
ped off at Reno, and was going to
Goldtield, where he has some inter-
ests. He was persuaded to go to
Rawhide. and although he feared
that his health might be further en-
dangered, he made the trip, 1t was
he who financed the Murray lease,
another of the high graders. with w.
II. Hunter and he also owns the
Dolly Warden lease, close to town,
and which has good values at depth
OF forty feet. Mr.. Boehme says that
he knows something of mining and
that the evidence of his eyes is good
enough for him, and that. moreover,
he is going TO interest some of his
Milwaukee friends in the camp.
On Mascot Hill, or Grutt Hill, as
1t is, perhaps, better known, the main
workings are down fifty feet, from
where they are prosecuting to tap
the ledge which outcrops On Satur-
day shot was put in, and the result
was rain of gold. The rock was
simply plastered with the precious
metal, and there were buttons of the
pure quill. On the Prosky lease on
this same hill, there is an album
dance of high grade ore sacked and
ready for shipment. On the oppo-
site side of the hill, the Poor Boy
claim is showing up in fine shape.
Nobody in the camp has more
faith in 1t than Tom Kearns, and he
has shown his faith by taking anoth-
er lease, this time on the other side
of Balloon Hill, and he has express
ed the opinion that this is better
than the original Kearns lease. The
Gray Eagle lease, also on Balloon
HILL is another of the fine showings
of the camp.
Tom Roseberry, from Northern
California, and his partner, Dun
ming, are among the enterprising men
and workers of the camp. They have
number of properties, on which
leases are being worked, and in
number of which there is high grade.
f. w. Benwy, who was one of the
early timers, is another of Rawhides
progressive men. He is located on
Rawhide avenue, and has number
of leases working.
There have been many men in
there, who helped to make the his
tory of this camp and GoldfieId, and
other camps which have flourished.
There is saltwater Bill Gates from
Alaska and Jack Hines from the
same country. During the past week
there were in there from Goldfield,
Walter Stone, George Won Polentz,
William Erb, Walter Whitmore. A.
ID. Nash, Harold Baxter, engineer for
Lotus and Davis, and many others.
From Tonopah there were Key Pitt
man. K. J. Collins, S. H. Gillette, and
others. Mr.. Gillette succeeded in
getting two valuable leases, located
between the Kearns and Murray
leases. These are considered very
valuable leases. one of them adjoin-
ing the Kearns
One of the best leases in the camp
has been secured by w. w. Booth.
and another by J. S. Daveler. Both
leases are on Balloon Hill, above the
Kearns lease, and better location
could not be desired.
On the Tiger group, another of the
big things of Rawhide, the second
payment for the control of the prop
erty was paid yesterday by A. NJ.
Gillespie and his associates. and Mr.
Gillespie will leave for the camp this
morning.
The latest to join the procession
toward Rawhide are ex-Sheriff Long
of Leadville. Colorado, and Manager
Dale of the Southern Nevada Mer-
camille Company, who will leave for
the land of fortune this morning.
