eyes, Rawhide is looking good,'
said A. X. Wheeler, of the firm OF
Davis, Wheeler & Company, as he re-
turned yesterday from his northern trip,
81 spent three days there looking over
the district and more particularly the
prominent mines and leases. / was last
there late in February and am free to
confess that the development in the
interim has been marvellous. ! not only
examined the mines, but talked with
many of the most prominent mining
men in the camp. Everyone is en-
thusiastic. / do not believe that the
east or the investing public at large
have as yet realized the possibilities
and the future of Rawhide. The camp
is being developed principally by leas-
ers, men whose only hope Of reward is
the opening up Of shipping ore. This
is as it was in Goldfeld in the early
days, and the fact that the great major
ity of the mines, leases and develop
ment work is being carried on, conduct
ed and financed by Nevada operators
and with local money should remove
all skepticisms in regard to the future
of the camp. Mining men and repre-
sentatives of capital throughout the
United States and even from Cobalt
Canada, are on the ground and during
my stay there ] did not hear one adj
verse criticism. One mill is already in
operation and at least three more are
contracted for. / counted eight hoists
which have been installed on Balloon
hill within the past ten days. There
are in the neighborhood of ten more
en- route.
eff Rawhide boasts of one thing
more than another, it is that the camp
is crowded with practical mining men;
that every dollar that is being taken
out of the ground is being Immediately
put back again in the shape of mining
machinery and development; that an
honest conservative effort is being made
to open up the ore bodies In the short
est possible time consistent with good
mining. Records are being broken in

HOSTS OPERATING
in THE RAWHIDE DISTRICT

Gone of the greatest strikes in the
district has just been made on the st.
Ives lease, which is controlled by A.
A. Codd of Goldfeld. Nearly all the
ore that comes out of the shaft can be
used for jewelry.
"John McMullen has purchased the
Stray Dog claim for $40, 900. He sam
pied the Kearns No. 2 lease the other
day and across three and one-half feet
he secured an average of $1,000.
"Three leasers are at work on the
Rawhide Red Top and all have ordered
hoists. The leaseholds are all showing
most encouraging values. These hoists
will all be on the ground within the
next fifteen days.
"On the /. X. L., adjoining the Red
Top, the Queen Bethenia and Poo Boys
are both sacking ore. The Clawson
lease on the Red Top is down so feet
and the miners are working on the Poor
Boy ledge. The Truett lease IN this
property was recently sold to Welch &
Chadwick of Goldfeld. They are down
20 feet and the rock pans from $35 to
$50 to the ton. Mr.. Chadwick has gone
to Kansas City to interest eastern
friends in this proposition. The Stevens
lease on the Red Top is prosecuting on
the 75-foot level for the Queen Be-
thenia ledge"
Mr.. Warmbath, who is secretary of
the Rawhide Red Top company, expects
to remain in Goldfeld until the latter
part of next week, to look after the
holdings of Bond 4 Co. in this camp.

Encouraging news regarding Raw
hide was brought to Goldfield Thurs
day by s. NJ. Warmbath of w. F. Bond
G. Co., a concern that is heavily inter
ested in the new camp, as well as in
Goldfeld and in other mining districts
of the state. Mr.. Warmbath said to a
News representative:
"When the visitor to Rawhide first
walks up Main street he Immediately
becomes a booster. He notes the bust
ness activity and the crowds of people
that jostle him on the sidewalks. He
also notes the hoists on Balloon, Grutt
and Murray hills. There are twelve
hoists already in operation and eighteen
more have been ordered.
"Trenching is in progress for the
pipe line and the summit of Balloon hill
is being leveled for the tanks that will
supply the camp with water under
heavy pressure.
Zone of the Grutt brothers told me
Just before leaving Rawhide that the
railroad to the camp would be COM
pleted within four months. He stated
that the California Construction com
pany had taken the contract to sell the
bonds to provide funds for the con-
struction of the road and he also said
that 800, 900 worth of the bonds would
be subscribed for in Rawhide.
"Tom Kearns has returned from San
Francisco, where he closed a deal for a
200-ton quartz mill. The first unit of
fifty tons will be installed within sixty
days.

CAPT. WAssELL sUCCUMBS
TO THE WHITE PLAGUE

Sad news was received by Captain j..
A. Hassell Wednesday, when he opened
a telegram which stated that Captain
William II. Wassell, U. s. A., had
passed away at the army and navy
sanitarium at Fort Bayard, New
Mexico.
Captain Wassell was a native Of
Pittsburg, Pa, and was aged A years.
He was a graduate Of West Point and
served for many years in the army.
During the Spanish American war he
distinguished himself for gallant serv-
ices in Cuba and was shot through the
cheek and neck while leading a charge.
When Colonel Reynolds left Gold
field Captain Wassell was placed in
command of the regiment and he made
scores of warm friends while here.
When he was taken seriously i'll Cap
tain Hassell had him removed to his
residence, where he could receive better
care and have more comforts than in
the army barracks in Columbia.
1t was Captain Wassell's strong de-
sire to return to the Preside in COM
mand of his troops and he made the
trip although sorely i'll, when the regi-
ment departed.

WHEELER ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER RAWHIDE OUTLOOK

RawAide in point Of ore actually being
opened up and produced; in the mum
Der of miners actually employed; in the
number of shafts actually being sunk;
in the character and ability of the men
who are directing the camps affairs.
Mills are building; hoists are being
erected; lode and placer are yielding
and shipments are speeding to the
smelters. When all is said, Rawhide
has no other excuse for existence than
the gold which underlies the surface.
That the ore is there has now been
proved beyond any question Of doubt
and all uncertainty regarding the fu-
lure of the camp has been eliminated.
"Criticism and doubt have been
swept aside and I look for a big demand
for Rawhide securities in the east with
ing the next few weeks, as soon as
the investing public at large realize the
wonderful future and possibilities of
the camp.
"Our firm has invested a great deal
of money in Rawhide and our 'Rawhide
Daisy wei on Balloon hill is one Of
the best looking properties in the dis
trict. We are sinking the main shaft
on a true assure vein and at the present
time are better than AS feet in depth.
Paintings can be obtained almost any
where along the ledge. The men en-
ployed in the shaft of the Daisy are
so confident regarding the future of the
mine that they are voluntarily taking
half their monthly wages in stock of
the company. This is true of a half
dozen more Of the biz companies and
in Rawhide, and is the strongest
possible proof of the faith evidenced
in the future Of the camp by the men
who above all others are in q position
to judge of it's merits.
"Rawhide today has reached that
stage where it may be said to have
proved itself to the discriminating ex-
pert on the ground, and is on the eve
Of a general recognition by the invest
ing public.'

TEST r CAB LOAD

The ten tons were run through a H ia1y four,foot mill
safe in Golddeld, a bar Of gold bullion returned from this test
at s217.l0 and represents a saving of IS per cent, without
any supplementary cyanide process which will later be en-
ployed and against which time the tailingS will be impOunded
for future treatment.
The cost of mining and milling this ore cannot exceed SO
per ton. and this would be a very excessive figure, since the
mill will be erected below the lowest crOsscut tunnel, so that
from slopes to amaIgam, everything is operated by gravity,
at the least cost. This leaves, taking n average of the Hath
away test had it been made where the mill will be installed,
a proft of s1S75 per ton, the most conservative figure that
could be imposed. Taking T. a. Richards figures on the great
Rod mines Of the world, published in the Mining b Scientific
Press Of May 4, 1907, this shows from twice TO eighteen

DIR. Won Wedelstaedt is greatly inter
ested in the find. He will restore the
skeleton and send it to the Smithsonian
institute. The bones indicate that the
prehistoric man was of much more
than the ordinary stature. Crystals adj
herring to the bones prove the antiquity
of the remains.

One car load of this orr was recently shipped to Denver.
Colo, by w. II. Stills. president and general manager of the
company, and where he spent several weeks carefully watching
complete, thorough, and exhaustive mill and laboratory tests.
by all the chemists and mill men and manufacturers in Dem
vr,a among which were Burlingame's and Henry e. Woods
laboratories, with those of the Colorado Iron Works Company
and that of The Hathaway Gyratory Mill Co, the two latter
making a mill test of 10 tons each with the expectation OF
selling a plant to the EMPRESS. and in this respect supple
mented their work with everything that is modern and pro-
gressiva in the way of mechanics, science, and malpractice,
with the result that Mr.. Stills entered into a contract with
the Hathaway company for the construction and delivery of
the first unit of the mill that is to be in operation and pro-
ducing bullion by the 18th of July, 1908, or what is Technically
called a four-foot mill, capable of treating forty tons of EN-
PRESS ore every twenty four hours.
He will undoubtedly supplement this during the early sum-
mel with another unit of the same capacity, to not only in
crease the output of the EMPRESS but meet demand for
milling facilities by no less than five or six sets of leasers
who are already clamoring for ground-thereby mailing down
