The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-03-14

In the short space of five months, be-
ginning last October, Rawhide is now
larger than Tonopah, Manhattan or
Rhyolite, the biggest, healthiest and
richest baby in the coterie of mining
camps, and growing at a rate which
gives assurance hat it will outstrip
Goldfeld in a very short time. Consid-
ering that there were only three tents
in the district last July, the growth
of the town is but short of the marvel
Gus. On my first visit l saw, after
short investigation, that the district was
rich in ore. Murray showed me his
properties. He and his three associates
were interested in a group of fourteen
claims. Mr.. Hunter and l went over
five of them, and we had seen enough
to satisfy us during the few hours OF
our stay, so we did not want to see any
more. / told Hunter that l had struck
what had been looking for all my lfe'
and Mr.. Hunter agreed that it was the
richest ore he a seen.
II asked Murray h he wanted Tor
his claims, and agreed to take them at
the price he mentioned. l Immediately
returned to Schurz, drew up the DEEDS
and contracts, and went TO Goldnelo'
where | wired to my friends ana raised
$40. 900 within three days. Associated
with me in that enterprise were u. W..
Lewis. L. f. Foster and HI. b. WADE OF
San Francisco, who, with myself, were
the first San Francisco men to get INTO
this new camp and developed a prospect
which is now known to every mining
man as one of the biggest and rlchest
mining estate of the Rawhfde district
and the first mining securities listed Oh
the local boards.
.sTbe Queen Regent is known
throughout the district as having more
bold outcropping quartz lodges thah any
othor nronertv of the district, and pos
siblv of the state. Mining engineers
give IT as their opinion that these are
true assure veins, which mean perma-
nency and great depth.
The Queen Regent is particularly noted
for IFS numerous bold outcropping quartz
Iedges which mining engineers say are
true assure veins, indicating permahehcy
and depth. Many of the ledges can DC
traced for 5000 feet. Tunnel NO mas
