for"
John J. Mullin is another who has
become an enthusiast on Rawhide.
He came back yesterday, and says
that in his opinion nothing can stop
the boom.
The boom is now on in full
swing said Mr.. Mullin, with the
exception that money is scarce ar
ticle. But with such showings as
are to be seen on every hand there
is no doubt of capital finding it's way
in there. There are great many
Tonopah people interested in there,
and from all accounts they have the
pick of some of the good things. The
people there seem to think that Zeb
Kendall has struck it again in the
Bluff, and there is no doubt that the
Royal Tiger group has the makings
of mine. There is plenty of life in
the camp and she looks good to a
man who has been in mining camps
in their swaddling clothes days.
There is lots of building going on,
and boom is on in real estate. Raw
hide has all the earmarks of COM
ing camp"

More good reports continue to
come from Rawhide, and the more
men who come from there back to
Tonopah, the better the country
seems to those who have not yet
seen it. There has yet to come a

who would have the nerve to de-
clare that the camp has not got the

There returned from Rawhide yes

mine on the hill; Paul Tarpey, the

Messrs. Siebert and Mullin, and they

1T is early yet to predict what the
future has in store for Rawhide, .
said Mr.. Siebert, "but the surface
showings are certainly among the
greatest ever seen anywhere. Then
it looks good to find the stuff at a
depth of sixty or seventy feet, as
they have it there. The Kearns lease
certainly looks good, as does the
Murray lease. They are shipping
from the former, and while they have
high grade in the latter, they have
also ledge which is at least twenty
feet in width and which goes $32 to
the ton. That is good enough for
any mine or any country. The leas-
