SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10
Special correspondence of the Reno
Journal; Mining circles of this city
maintain an unlagging interest in
the new camp Of Rawhide, as has
been demonstrated during the past
few days here by the attention at
tracted by a very fine display of rock
from the new camp, brought here by
Donough and Clifford Of the Grutt
company.
The lobby of the Holland has been
a veritable reception room in which
a great many people have congre-
gated TO look at this ore and ask
questions concerning it and the new
camp. The rock displayed is a fine
blush quartz, of not too fine grain,
showing a stringer of almost solid
gold, varying in width from a hair to
three-quarters of an inch, and carry
ing also about 1900 ounces of silver
to the ton.
Donough and Clifford explain that
the rock is from their lease on the
Grutt property, better known as
lease No. 3, and from the adjoining
ground on the Grutt fraction, on
both of which properties they have
sunk a 50-foet shaft, and started to
crosscut. The samples of high grade
shown, are from a small stringer in
the heart of a 22-inch vein, contain
ed in a ledge OF about six feet.
There are upwards of thirty
leases working in the new camp
now" said Mr.. Donough, where
there are, all told, about 1000 peo-
pie. There was a time not long
since when money was very scarce
there, and it was hard on the out
slider unless he came there well pro-
vided with money. but now it is no
different from any other camp in
that respect, and l will venture to
say that there are fewer people there
who are really hard up than any
camp in the State.
Regarding the outlook as to la
Dor, do not anticipate any trouble
az Rawhide such as has been expert
ehced in other parts of the State.
We have the most conservative and
lest lot of men at the head of the
unions there that | have ever met,
and it would see mimpossible to con-
ceiye of a situation arising where
they are concerned, which could not
be readily and easily adjusted.
Il expect Rawhide, within the next
couple of years to be the greatest
producing camp in the State, and

The group bought by the Tonopall
people comprise the Nevada King
claim; Nevada King No. ! and Ne
vada King No. 2. The Nevada King
endlines the Royal Coachman and
sidelines the famous Royal claim, on
which is the Stinson lease, recently
sold for $4,000, and from which
they are taking ore for the full
width Of five feet, going $3S6.2G.
Nevada King No. ? joins the Nc
Mahon group, where there is a tun-
mel in for a distance of 20S feet, with
even feet of ore going $50 to the
ton. The ore here is identical with
that of the Jumbo of Goldield when
that property was at a depth of 20
or 80 feet. Nevada King No. / lies
between the other two claims.

the best propositions in the camp.
Very little work has been done
on the property" said he. In fact,
only two shafts have been started,
but both are in ore. The Rawhide
Consolidated, which we adioin, is one
oil the best properties in the camp.
n the stock is selling in the streets
of Rawhide for $1.4O a share. There
are several hundred leasers at work
IN the camp, and the camp is one of
the busiest places in Nevada. There
seems to be no doubt in Rawhide
that the camp is going to be one OF

Seekers
Start for Gold

a big rush was on last night from
Reno to a new mining discovery near
Browns station, about so miles east
of here on the Central Pacific. Eight
automobiles, loaded to the guards
with mining men, eager for a chance
at the riches of the new discovery,
left Reno during the afternoon and
evening, and over 100 left the town
later in the night on the first east
bound train.
The discovery vas made as long
ago as last Saturday by two brothers,
John and Joseph Mackidon of Love-
lock, but was kept a profound secret
until yesterday, while the discoveries
were stalking out all the land they
thought they wanted in the neigh
borhood. When 1t did leak, there
was a rush from all along the line.
The discovery was just beyond the
first range of hills west of Browns
station, and at a point about 10 miles
from that station. 1t is a short dis
lance from Laurie's Wells, where a
strike was made last spring that oc-
casioned some excitement for a time,
but eventually "petered" out. The
present strike gives better evidences
of permanency, besides being very
much richer.

fact that her mills are grinding out

yesterday morning, after spending
several days in the new gold fields.
That Mr.. Pittman shares the enthu-

phasized by the fact that he made
several investments in the camp.

RAWHIDE LOOKS
GOOD TO LAWYER
CASTOR AsHE THINKS CAMP
WILL BE ONE OF THE
GREATEST.
Sundays Daily Bonanza

Castor Ashe arrived here yester-
day from Rawhide, where he has
been a resident for the past five or
six weeks. Mr.. Ashe halls from Cal
i~fornia, but has been a resident Of
Nevada for the past eight months.
He thinks that Rawhide is going to
be one Of the greatest camps in the
State.
IF surface showings are any in
dication OF the wealth and worth
Of the camp said Mr.. Ashe, Raw
hide is certainly a wonder. Greater
surface showings rave never been
seen anywhere, and they are finding
the ore getting better and more
plentiful as they go down. To be
sure, they are not down more than
eighty or a hundred feet, but for
the age OF the camp this is pretty
good. 1t is better than Goldfeld
was at the same age, and that is a
pretty good criterion.
The people are most optimistic,
and that is another good sign. You
can't find a man in Rawhide who
does not feel that he is in the great
est camp in the world, and at that,
the camp is practically broke. There
is money coming in, of course, but
there is no money there for work.
ing men, the time not having vet

that the time is coming.
What looks good about Rawhide
to everybody is the fact that the
camp al born in the throes of the
financial slump, and it has lived
through the panic, and is more lusty
Of life than ever There must be
something behind this. and that
something is the gold in the hills,
and the ore that is being taken out
Of the mines. The people are crowd
ing into the camp in stage-loads and
auto-loads every day"

NEWT FASSET
BOOMS R4WHIDE
HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE LIST
OF BOOSTERS FOR THE
NEW CAMP.
(Tuesday's Daily Bonanza. ,


Newt Fassett, son OF j. Sloat Fas-
sett, congressman from New York.
returned from Rawhide Yesterday.
and has been added to the list of
boosters of that wonderful camp.
Mr.. Fassett was accompanied by w.
F. Mcdonald, and came through by
auto. Although he did not spend
much time at Rawhide, he saw
enough to satisfy him of the possi-
bilities Of the camp.
Il saw some Of the surface show
ings,' said Mr.. Fassett, who is an
assayer, and knows the pure Quill
when he sees it, "and they are the
greatest that ! have even seen. Where
there is so much gold on top, there
must be surely something UNDER
meath. Rawhide is certainly a lively
camp, and | never saw such an en-,
thusiastic crowd in any camp. There
is a good deal of business. and they
are already talking of establishing 4
stool exchange. There are men in
there whom you never see but in a
camp that makes good, and If Raw
hide does not make good, / am not
the only n who is making a mis-
take in regard to il.
The camp supports four newspa.
pers, and that is one of the biggest
advertisements that / can imagine
for any new place. There are stores
OF all descriptions, and they all seem
to be doing business. There are about
three thousand people in there. and
there are more going in from all d.
rections every day. One cannot form
an idea of the rapid growth Of the
camp without having seen it, and
there seems to be a new strike made
every day; if not a strike, some new
development that is as good as a
strike. There does not appear to be
much money in the camp, but every
thing, apparently, is on a cash basis.
and there does not seem to be much
trouble in getting the cash, The peo-
pie who are going in there now evil
IDENTIFY have money for investment.
