MILL IS CONTEMPLATED FOR
THE NEW CAMP OF JUMBO

But here in this growing camp there
are flowing springs that are good, but
not sufficient for the needs of Jumbo in
six months from this time. However,
there will never be any Inconvenience
in this regard, for within less than a
mile of the townsite is the fiume line
Of the great system of the Virginia &
Gold Hill Water company.
BARGo LOOKS GOOD
The property that is attracting the
attention Of the world at Jumbo, and
which is probably one of the finest
mines in the state today and is playing
the lead in making this town n of the
most important in the west, is the Bar
go, of the Selby Consolidated company.
CONSOLIDATED co. ORGANIZED
The Jumbo Consolidated company has
been organized to do great things for
the district. It's ~incorporators are b. b.
Smith, Rolla E. Clapp, J. B. Price, c. Fl.
Miller and John Callahan, and all of
them are boosters to a marked degree.
The purposes of the company are to deal
in real estate, mines, leases, townsites,
and to do a general brokerage and COM
mission business.
WORK STARTS ON LEASES
Yesterday was a busy day. The
stages came in loaded with people, who
are here to stay. A number of buildings
were completed, and the town wore an
appearance of happiness and content
ment. Work was started on several
more leases, as the supplies and equip
ment came in early in the day and on
Thursday evening.

ton a close one and themselves took up
the treasury, thus financing the COM
pany fully without asking for a cent of
assistance. Thus they became practical
" co-partners in a most unique enter
prise, ~hydraulicing on the desert. The
boldness of the idea commends itself to
the mining world.
Tom Wilson, Familiarity known as
"Dry Wash,'' is a unique character. A
Norwegian by birth and a Nevadan by
adoption, he stands six feet six in his
stocking feet and he has a heart and
conscience as big as his physical frame.
Mr.. Wilson, a year and a half ago, was
tracing the ledge system on the Sunny
side claim with intention of securing a
lease. He picked up a handful of sur
face dirt and sifted it through his fin
gers, blowing the dust away. The re-
suit was a fine little bunch of colors. A
lease on a very small tract was secured
and dry wash machines installed. With
in 81 working days he cleaned up $780,
600, and at that he secured only one
half the gold in the ground.

ROUND MOUNTAIN MINING.

Owing to a conflict of interests in
the Sunnyside claim, litigation was
threatened, which was averted by
Messrs. Lotus & Davis purchasing
titles from all claimants to interest. All
of those who sold out at that time
have since enriched themselves out of
other properties in the district.
During the two years that the Sunny
side has been in the possession of its
present owners development has been
carried on through an inclined tunnel
to a depth of over 500 feet. Drifts and
crosscuts have been run that have de-
veloped 100000 tons of pre-. The Sunny
side and a large number of other claims
have been Incorporated by Messrs. Lof-
tus & Davis into the Round Mountain
Mining company. Recently this COM
pany acquired by purchase the Great
Western Mining company ground, which
adds greatly to the company's acreage
and to its possibilities for ore produc-
tion, as all the veins on the Sunnyside
trend into Great Western ground.
Several hours were spent by the rep
resentative of The News exploring the

The developments in the Tonopah
Belmont mine since January LIST have
improved at least 800 per cent. Every
one of the six new veins demonstrated
in the mine is improving wonderfully
with every foot of work.
The values at the 1,000-foot level are
as good as they ever were at the upper
levels or workings and the entire en-
erpy of the management will be de-
voted to developing these workings.
Some of the very important work
now in progress shows 400 feet OF
drifting on the South vein at the
eighth level, 100 feet Of drifting on the
Occidental vein at the eighth level, Az
feet of drifting ON the Nevada vein at
the eighth level. The seventh level is
being driven out to the South vein on
the 7OO-foot level and should reach tina
point within the next two weeks.
The ninth and tenth levels are being
driven to the South vein which SHOULD
reach there within two or three
months. This will give 300 feet OF
hacks on the South vein from which no
ore has ever been stopped.
1t is anticipated that the South vein
is an extension of the celebrated Valley
View vein of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany, as it correlates with it. The
Valley View vein is known to be one OF
the two largest veins in Tonopah.
The 1904 and 1,0o6 crosscuts to the
north are both in excellent ore and
continue to improve as work pro-
crosses.
The 1851 stope is 20 feet wide and
from this stopping is the only ore going
to the mill, all the other ore that is be-
ing milled is coming from development
work.
Since March 9th the amount OF ore
run through its mill has averaged 23o
tons a day.
The management has decided not to
start any further stopping at any other
point in the mine where no known ore
bodies have been recently developed
until such time as there is further ore
in sight which is being brought into

JAMESTOWN Is BOOMING AND
CAMP LOOKS PERMANENT

The visible supply of tents in Gold
field has practically been exhausted by
the demand of parties going to James
town, the new camp a few miles east
of Gold Crater.
The townsite has been laid out, sur
veyed for patent and the plat recorded
in the Nye county court house. having
been accepted by the board Of county
commissioners.
Two hundred people are already In
the new town and w. N. Aubrey of the
townsite company reports that build
ing operations are under way at a
rapid rate. The Exploration Mercan-
tile ompan of Goldfeld has started a
store. Aubrey & Braffett have started
work on a $4,000 building. Lothrop &
Davis of Tonopah are starting a store.
Another business house is being started
by a Mr.. Nesbitt. Saloons to the ex-
tent of half a score will be in operation
within ten days.
The mining properties are daily look
ing better. The indications are that
shipments will shortly begin. Mean
while large quantities of milling ore
will be stored on the dumps.

| Mountain. IL il scanned with cash
lodges and, at depth, the property will
doubtless prove one Of the most valu-
able in the camp. The property 10 con-
trolled by Messrs. LOTUS 4 Davis and
there is a strong rumor that il will be
absorbed by the Round Mountain Min
ing company at a not distant date. The
property is now being developed under
the leasing system. Undoubtedly a
large amount Of the gold in the placer
deposits further down the mountain
emenates from the assures on the Ex.
acreage.
ROUND MOUNTAIN HYDRAULIC.
Less than a year ago the Round Noun
tain Hydraulic company was organized,
with a plan to expend $4,000 on equip
ment needed to wash the gold from the
gravel at the base and on the slopes of
Round Mountain, but, as work pro
crossed, and additional surface rights
were secured, covering practically all
the known placer acreage in the dis
trict, the plans were amended and up
to date, the company has expended over
10000 for water rights, conduits and
other necessities for the carrying on of
their extensive contemplated operations.
Since spring opened the company has
been operating a single giant and by
this means it is cleaning up from $500
to $500 a day. Within a short time
three monitors will be tearing away the
gravel banks, when the output will prob
ably be between 81, 900 and $4,000 per
diem. During the first two years, ac-
cording to results thus far attained. the
company expects to pay about $l.oo
per share in dividends. The water
rights and surface leases extend for a
term of four years, the time that the
company will probably require to ex-
haust the placer beds.
The dirt is probably richer than any
other placer ground discovered since
the Klondyke. Pockets have been found
that run as high as $1,000 to the yard,
while the entire deposit, which will run
from three to thirty feet in depth, will
probably average $1.00 a ton. The cost
of operating is less than so cents a ton.
BARTLETT THE ORIGINATOR.
Henry j. Bartlett was the originator
of the hydraulic idea in Nevada, and
that he is making a success of the pro-
iect, the results prove. When he noted
the success of the Wilson dry washers,
he went quietly to work tying up
acreages and then proceeded to finance
the company. He interested LOTUS 4
Davis, ''Dry WASH Wilson and George
w. Thatcher. a well known Colorado
man. They founded the Round Noun
tain Hydraulic Mining Co. with a cap
italization of 100000. So interested
did Mr.. Bartlett associates become in
the project that they made the corpora

A few miles from the camp are a
score of the hottest mineral springs in
the world, their temperature being on
" equalled by a famous medicinal
spring high in the Ural mountains. 1t
is an absolute fact, corroborated by
government reports, that the waters
issue from these springs at a tempera-
ture of 252 degrees, forty degrees above
boiling point. This is explained by the
statement that altitude affects the boil
ing point, while the waters themselves
are ~surcharged with steam. These
springs are largely resorted to by
Round Mountaineers because of their
rare medicinal powers.

Round Mountain is being builded for
permanency. The tents which once
housed its people are being replaced by
frame buildings and the poorer shacks
that were at first erected are giving
way to more substantial and ornamental
buildings.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
Next to its mines and mills, the peo-
pie of Round Mountain take greatest
pride in their bank and newspaper
Congressman Bartlett is president of
the former, and G. G. Olive is its cashier.
The newspaper, the Round Mountain
Nugget, was established by H. J. Bart
lett, the present editor, publisher and
proprietor, when there were only seven
tents on Main street and half a dozen
prospectors' outfits scattered about the
district, which then had a population of
about twenty-five men and only two
holes deeper than the location work re-
quirements. The newspaper has always
been a capable, earnest and sel f-sacriic-
ing toiler for the betterment of the
camp. It's editor rendered The News
representative great assistance in get
