Rawhide, New, May 21.-Few evil
denees are to be seen in Rawhide which
tend to reflect the hard times prevail
ing at outside points. There was a
period when the camp presented some
what of the appearance of a hard luck
story, but that was at a time when
every shoestring Spectator in the coun-
try trekked in here. Since they have
trekked out again the camp is cleaner,
and is free from hot air bankers. As a
result of the hegira legitimate brokers
and mining men are having an inning to
the decided advancement of mining and
business conditions in general.
Work continues without interruption
on the three-story hotel building at the
corner of Regent and Nevada streets.
Construction crews are pushing work
on the Rawhide Western railway. More
adequate fire protection has been estab-
lished by the arrival in camp of three
chemical engines. A water works sys-
TEN is being installed. An electric
light and power system has been in
stalled. Plans are well advanced for
the erection of two stamp mills here.
One is to be established by the Last
Chance Mining company, of which A.
A. Codd, of Goldfeld, is the head. 1t
will be of 10-stamp capacity.
Rawhide a Mecca
Mining men from outside points
continue to make Rawhide a Mecca.
Among others recently visiting the
camp was Lew HUMPHREYS, of 25 Broad
way, New York City, special representa-
tive of the Guggenheim brothers. To
your representative Mr.. HUMPHREYS
stated that he was "just looking
around" He declined to be inter-
viewed relative to the object of his
visit, but was frank in stating
that the mineral promise of the camp
is great. Incidentally, he stated that
he intended making another visit to
the district in the near future. AS the
~Guggenheims are not in the habit of
sending a representative to a mining
section until they are convinced it has
merit, the presence of Mr.. HUMPHREYS
in Rawhide may be considered as hav-
ing some significance.
Colorado Visitor
Colorado was represented in camp
the present week by Louis c.. Manswal,
a mining man having extended expert
ence in the Cripple Creek district. Mr..
Manswal departed for Denver a few
days ago after purchasing IN acreage
of considerable mineral merit. He will
return to Rawhide before June /, for
the purpose of assuming personal
charge of it's development. He is well
pleased with the showing in all portions
of the district and just prior to his de-
parture intimated that his primal pur-
chase here would be followed by others.
Ores for Exhibition
A consignment of Rawhide ores has
gone out to the Nevada section in the
mineral exhibit at Madison Square Gar
den, New York City, which is to form
an interesting feature of the Interna-
tional Mining Congress that convenes
there on May %. The specimens are
of rare value and beauty, show much
gold in the free, and are in every way
representative of the wealth of yellow
metal prevailing in all portions of this
highly auriferous mineral belt. The
collection was gotten together through
the agency of Sam Davis and r.. B..
Crowell of the State Publicity Bureau.
Ohio Gets In
Ohio capital is in touch with the un-
coined gold here through the agency OF
Charles f. Eminger of Dayton, and
