1.-THE big hydraulic operations will be
in full swing by April list. The last
fifteen carloads of pipe are now on the
way from Austin by freight team. This
makes in all about sixty carloads of
mains that have been received. The line
will be sixteen inches In diameter ana
three giants will be operated under
heavy pressure. I expect that the out
put from this plant will n from
$1,000 to $4,000 a day.
THE acreage held by the company
which has been proven to have valuable
placer content is sufficient to keep the
plant in full operation for a term OF
four years. which is the life OF the
lease. This insures an output of gold
almost equal to that of the famous
HAYES & Monnette of Goldfield. 1t Is
worthy of note that the Round Noun

longest termed, most extensively
equipped and has the largest acreage
of any lease in Nevada.
ROUND MOUNTAIN INNING

Mining company's estate is now down
to within a few feet of the 500-foot
point. A station was cut this week on
the 460-foot level and the ore body was
determined to be twenty feet in width
1t is better grade than that encoun-

averages SIS to the ton. The ledge Is
also increasing in width.

'Within the next thirty days the mill
on the Sphinx will be completed and In

are north of the Ludwig and are on the
same vein system. and as some OF the
specimens from the new find are identi-

the famous "jewely streak" of the Lud-

have opened the same rich vein. One

temporary shut Town of the Mizpah and
silver TOP heists. while the power was
being changed over from that furnished
by the company's plant at Millers to the
power furnished by the Bishop power
line, the latter power having been
furnished at a considerable less cost
than that which was generated at the
c~ompany's own plant. on account OF the
cost of labor. fuel. etc. Both hoists
are now working by the new power, ana

SPECIAL NOTICE.,
Make an Effort To Get Some of Them

Recent reports from different railroad
emigration agents indicate that on the
first OF this week no less than thirty
train loads Of colonists or home seekers
were on their way to the northwest.
The town of Wenatchee has already
landed some hundred and fifty of them
and sold them over two hundred
thousand dollars worth of real estate.
Leayenworth has not secured one
homeseeker or one dollar, and yet it
has greater opportunities to offer in
some respects than any town in the
state, and just as good land at from
one fourth to one eighth the cost OF
land elsewhere. The low price is the
result of lack of competition for its
ownership. If we had some way OF
letting land spectators know that the
lands around here could in few years
be sold for from ten to fifty times what
they are now selling for, there would
be no lack of investors. Seven years
ago land in this vicinity was worth from
five to ten dollars an acre. Now this
land is worth from $25 to 800. In
ten years it will be worth $500 to
$1,000. What would have been said
of the man who five years ago pre-
dicted that fruit land near Wenatchee
and Cashmere would be selling for
from two to three thousand dollars per
acre, and yet it has frequently changed
hands at this figure in the past
eighteen months, and sold the past
week at the former figure.
