Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-02-26

IL was Ravhlde'S day In Ionopah
Yesterday, for there was quite col
ony of men from this camp who re-
turned from the new gold field. Raw
hide is largely indebted to Tonopah
for the big start that was given the
camp few months ago, and there
are many from here who have inter
ests lin the camp, mining and other
business interests, There are others
who have no interest at all save for
the good that such a roaring, boom
ing camp will do for the State. Not
man who came back yesterday was
not an enthusiast over the condi-
tions; that is, who had remained
long enough in the camp to learn of
these conditions. They told of strikes,
of improvements with development,
of transactions being made, of the
people pouring into the camp, and
of the general interest that is being
taken in the camp from all direc-
lions.
Lucky" Zeb Kendall was one of
those who returned with the bunch.
He is very much pleased with condi-
tions. and particularly as applied to
his own holdings. 1t had been re-
ported that there had been an eight
foot ledge opened up on the Big Horn
property, in which are interested Mr..
Kendall, W. B. Pittman and R. l..
Colburn, the latter OF Goldfield. This
is the second property in which .Zeb
Kendall secured an interest, and the
other is looking pretty we'll to every
body
Regarding the Big Horn, said
Mr.. Kendall there was a man nam

me for a lease on the property.

liked and that l would have Mr.,
Pittman make him out lease, as he
was the lawyer for the company Mr..
Fletcher took my word for it, and
had opened vein seven or eight
feet wide. | went over to look at
the strike, but did not make very
thorough investigation, for the rea-
son that it was at or near the sur
face, and | prefer to wait for those
ethings until they begin to go down
But it is a fine looking ledge
and is, as stated, nearly eight fee
i'll width The assay returns thai
Fletcher got were $3.50, which is {
pretty good start. and he is very wei
satisfied with the outlook. So am |
"Rawhide struck me most favor
ably the first time | saw the camp
and today it looks better than it eve
did. The Murray lease, for instance
is down more than hundred feet
They have the ore, and the showing
{ on the surface. They have four fee
of high grade, some of which will g
into the picture values. There is
ledge exposed at the surface, whicl
will average $32.50 clear across tn
face for width of thirty feet. Th
Big Four lease. just below, has open
ed ledge on the surface which cal
ries the prettiest picture ore in tn
camp, besides having other goo
values.
The Rawhide Bluff Mining Con
pany has seven leases working an
the leasers are much encourage
with their prospects. all of them ge
ting good rock. There is one leas
on which there is an eighteen-inC
streak. which shows ruby and hor
silver. and the same percentage I
gold that we get here in Tonopal
Assays as high as $500 ton hay
