UNCONFIRMED REPORT OF
BOYD BASIN PURCHASE

Unconfirmed reports in Winnemuc
ca suggest that a big deal is pending
under which theownership of twenty
seven claims in the Boyd Basin camp
will pass to the ownership of Patsy
Clark of Montana, and who has tigur-
ed conspicuously in the history of
Oreenwater, California camp during
the past eighteen months.
The properties that are said to be
involved in this Boyd Basin negotia-
tion are owned jointly by Messrs q.
A. Lane and Bryan, the latter having
been the locator, it is said.
Bryan is reported to have sold his
half interest for $65,000. while Lane
refuses to accept a much larger offer
for his half in the same claims because
he believes they have the making or
the biggest gold mine in Nevada, if
not the world. when developed. and

instance-the better everything Will
be.
Winnemucca should be one of the
best towns in Nevada. 1t is that, pro
badly, now But it should be better
than it is. The coming Of the Western
Pacific, the discovery of several miu-
ing camps not far from there, and the
rich agricultural district that has al
ways surrounded the town-these will
make for progress.
But it is going to take little of
the leaven Of progressiveness to make
you move as fast as you ought to.
Help your newspapers to boost, and
encourage them when they say good
things for the town. Build modern
and commodious hotel, nothing elab-
crate, but still something that will
adequately reflect your good fortune;
be good to all the stangers that come
within your gates, as you were to the
Republicans and the 1eaguers that
were so recently your guests. Forget
the old foolishism about hiding a light
under bushel and proceed to increase

lowing, editorially:
s'We spent couple of pleasant
days in Winnemucca. 1t is a thriving,
prosperous community, and bide fair
to become one of the strongest towns
of the state. We were especially
pleased to note that there was spirit
of boosting to be found, especial
ly among the younger people and that
ther was abundant optimism in the
towns future. And also, as in all
communities, we encountered dispo-
siton among some of the Old Inhabi-
tants to be very. very cautious, fear
ing that they might overstep the rules
of tradition and precedent by doing a
little shouting for their town.
ITO the young men we would say,
Persist in the good work. And to the
cautious old men we woud remark,

JUDGEMENT IS FOR
PLAINTIFFS

The jury in the case of j. r. Benton
and c. f. Kennedy VS.. Charles Dan
iels and Peter Laux returned YER
diet late last night in favor of the
plaintiffs, Benton and Kennedy, and
awarded to the plaintiffs damages to
the sum of $500.
The suit was for the possession of
mining property in the Kennedy dis
triet, which both sides claimed through
priority Of location. Wrangling over
the property has been going on for
some time and the testimony at the
trail showed that the district of Ken
nedy is torn with factional strife.
Whether the present judgment will
end the strife that has existed at Ken
nedy, is uncertain, but the hope has
been expressed that the difficulties
heretofore existing there will be soon
Strengthened out.
The case was one of considerable in
terest involving points in the mining
laws of the state, which have seldom
came up in court, one of which en-
braces the law of the relocation of
property, and what constituted the an
nual labor on mining property.
Attorney Harry Warren represented
the plaintiffs and M. s. Bonnifield the
defendants.

GOOD PROSPECTS
AT GOLD BANKS
FIFTY FEET DOWN ON ALERT
GROUP SHOWS GOOD VALUES

times a steady bid for boom. The

bly,, some of those mining propositions
over which there has been halo of

be a producing camp with big mills
working on inexhaustable ledges.
I'll. L. Edwards, president of the
Mountain Queen Mining company of
Wyoming, which owns the Alert group
of five claims, situated about five
miles northwest of the town of Gold
banks, was in town this week with
some samples of ore taken from the
workings on that property. These sam
Piles give values of upwards of 800
in gold and silver. They were taken
from the fifty-foot shaft, which the
company is sending down on one of
the lodges, and on which they now
have small force of men at work
This shaft has opened up the ledge,
showing that it increases both in size
and permanency with depth. Five
feet of good ore the company now have
with stringer of high grade. The
values are principally in gold. 1t is
their intention to sink fifty feet more
and then drift along the ledge.

GOOD WORDS FOR
HUMBOLDT
CAMPS

Ernest r. Wooley returned yester-
from a trip of inspection of several
of the mining camps of Nevada, hav-
ing been out he says, "just to see
what was DOING He took in Seven
Troughs, Battle Mountain. Gold Cir
Gle and Jessup.
seT believe,s' said Mr.. Wooiey,
"that Seven Troughs is destined to
become great money-making camp,
and while great deal of stress is
being laid on the fact that the mics
of that district carry very rich ore.
and while they do, unquestionably. /
think that the great wealth of the
camp is going to be found in the big
masses of milling rock. If the big
boosters of the camp would taylk
more about the size of the ledges to
be round there, I am sure the district
would be the gamer. This does not
mean that lots of rich rock will not be
shipped from the district; it simply
means that the district ought to lay
greater stress upon the fact that large
lodges are to be found there and they
are near the surface; that is the stuff
that counts; that is the stuff that is
going to count when everybody gets
down to business.
Battle Mountain is coming to the
front with rapid strides and much
money is evidently seeking investment
there Gold Circle is letting started
right. and I think that there is no
question about her future. While they
have rich streaks of ore in the lodges
there, just as they have at Seven
Troughs and other nevada camps they
are not playing them up. They are
hacking on the milling ores of the dis
trict and as they have an abundance
of water and other facilities, it seems
impossible to fail Jessup is another
camp that appears to be making good.
1t is controlled almost entirely by
Reno talent, and the work of making
mines is going on with vigor.
