In the face Of an old and abandoned
tunnel at the mouth of Humboldt can
Won in the Humboldt range a rich ledge
of ore has been uncovered, says the
Star. C. r. Webster, proprietor of the
hotel at Humboldt House, who has the
claim located. a few days ago put two
men to work clearing out the old tun-
mel, which penetrates the mountain 456
feet. After the debris had been clear
ed away, a round of shots was put in
the face and after the smoke cleared
away the men were surprised to find
that they had exposed a very rich ledge
of gold and silver ore. Not enough
work has been done to determine the
extent of the find, but from present in
dications it looks as if the vein was
permanent. The discovery of the ore in
the old tunnel, which was driven in the
year 1866, is a very important one. The
mountain at this point is steep, giving
plenty of depth for stopping purposes.

pany with Red Ryker, and left for
Stimler Thursday morning. Mr.. Cox
states that work will be resumed on

have been had in the past and, under
the liberal provision now being granted
by the company, there is an extra in
~ventive for vigorous development.
The White lease, adjoining the New

again in a few days, Mr.. White having
returned from Goldfeld for that pur-
pose this week and is now in Stimler to

LOCATE OIL

Will Murray and Harry Livingston
have returned to Carson from a trip to
a point near Wellington where the re-

They brought back with them a guam
tity of oil bearing sands and shale and
state the country bearing the oil indica-
tions is several miles in length and also
several in width. The land is being
located rapidly and as soon as the find
becomes generally known and the loca-
tion is ascertained by others q greater
rush will be on to the place. While they
were in the country they located 2s
claims and staked them. An oil expert
from California completed an examina-
tion of the district several days ago and
%pronounces it one of the best looking
oil prospects in the west. Other local
people are heavily interested in claims
in the section.-Carson News.

RICHNESS OF aoLDFIELD

The great richness of the Goldfield

and as a result there has been a big adj

derful camp, all along the line. If you
want to get in touch with real refresh
ing optimism you have only to go to
Goldfeld and you will surely find it
there. The optimism has withstood the
shock of the panicky condition of the
country and still exists. Goldfield has
proven such a marvelously rich gold
district that it cannot help but create
that optimism and'make it as lasting as
the fabulous discoveries on the Com
