campaign of development that means
much for this camp is now an as
sured fact. Both the sections to the
east and west are going to be the
center of prospecting on a scale that
is bound to bring results. Informa-
ton within the past few days has
leaked out that several properties to
the west of the West End Console
dated company's property are to re-
sumo operations and are to sink to
great depth. Engineers eminent in
the mining world have been at work
for the past two months quietly
studying the geological formation in
that district and upon their reports
Philadelphia and other eastern capi-
talists have placed money in the
treasures of their companies. Sew
eral hoists have been ordered and the
management of one property has or
ders to, sink to a depth to encounter
the vein which is known or believed
to be continuation Of the West End
and the MacNamara lodges. In an
other instance machinery has been
ordered from Salt Lake and within
sixty days work will be resumed on
property that is now down several
hundred feet. 1t is also understood
that the owners of the. Monarch
Pittsburg will commence an active
campaign of development. Such well
known mining men as Eugene
Howell, w. j. Harris and Others who
control the Seventy-six contemplate
getting busy within a very short
time. The West End Consolidated
Extension is also considering the ad-
visibility of resuming active opera
tions. In the minds of quite a few
eminent mining authorities there lis
no doubt that great bodies of ore are
to be found underlying the fiat and
a continuation Of the rich ledges en-
countered in the West End and Mac
Namara continue far beyond the base
of Mt. Brougher to Lockart hill
To the east of Tonopah is thu
Buckeye, which is now working, ant
the Belmont Extension is getting int
shape to do development work. Tn
Belmont. which is now running to
wards the Belmont Extension, !
within 500 feet of the end lines 0
that property. The Halifax, owned b
Keith and Kearns, is likely to resum
work at any moment. David keith
who was here here several month
ago. in company with several eng
neers, and who at that time made
inspection of the property, gave 1t q
his opinion that search for an
systematic development would VI
doubtedly tap richsore bodies.
The finding of ore in either
these sections would give such an IN
petious to mining in southern Nevad
and Tonopah particularly, such
never before witnessed in any cam
Another evidence that work is
he commenced at once in the we
section is a petition numerous
signed by prominent mine owne
and leading citizens, asking for u
removal of the present garbaI
dumping grounds, which was su
mitted to the board of county col
missioners and taken under conside
alton. Following is the petition:
To the Honorable Board OF Coun
Commissioners of Nye County:
Gentlemen-We, the undersign

fensive matter, in what is now kno

Our reasons for making this
quest are that the development OF
west side properties proves bey'
