PrOSeCtOr
Makes a
Lucky Find

A Goldfield prospector by the
name of Ellsworth has been pros
pecting in the Pine Nut hills for
several months and has located
some large bodies of low grade ore.
He negotiated with Mr.. Emigh for
lease, providing he could make
an original find on the Hickey
Emigh property now belonging to
the new company. Tracing by the
pan up the gulches, he located a
rich ledge that pans some gold
as large as a pin head. He cover
ed it up least others should find lit
until he had secured a lease. After
drawing up the papers he revealed
the find to Mr.. Emigh in the pres
ence of p. c. Wilder who sampled
the ledge and say it certainly looks
good to them.
A two years lease has been OBJ
tanned by Mr. Ellsworth on one
half of the Sunset claim. 1t is
about 1900 feet from the present
workings of the company but near
other discoveries made by Mr..
Emigh when this claim was locat-
ed.
On account of the extensive
holdings owned, the company has
adopted the leasing plan and will
give liberal terms to those who may
desire to work some of this rich
ground. The returns thus obtain
ed by the company will be used 10

velop water and penetrate the
sulphide zone. Then all of this
system of ledgrs will be crosscut.
In the meantime the present tun-
mel will be run until it is in tie
hill 200 feet aid under the richest
ore where assays OF $40 to $50 a
ton have beun obtained from sur
free ore. This deep shaft will tell
the future of Pine Nut for a
certainty and as all these ores are
of deep seated origin, there is lit
tie to wish on depth as sulphides
now show in place.

Reclamation Service Takes up NeqU Work

Elmer Porter, State Hydrograph-

the purpose OF taking measure
ments of the Clrson river at differ

are being taken for the purpose OF
ascertaining the exact amount OF
water used on the irrigated lands
of Carson Valley and to calculate
upon the amount of water that
would need be stored in reservoirs
necessary to irrigate every acre II
the Valley.
1t may e many years before the
government will build storage
reservoirs at the headwaters of the

of the home team there will be but
few changes from that which faced
the Indians two weeks ago. John
Frasier arrived from California
this week and his presence on the

A special train will be run from

Sunday will be one big day in
Gardnerville. There will be a
three cornered pigeon shoot for the
championship of the State of Ne
