HAMMOND Wants
FACTS IN RAWHIDE

RENO, New, April 25.-Charles
Schroeder, personal representative 81
John Hays Hammond. the noted min.
ing engineer, has been in Rawhide
for the past week passing upon the
reports of half dozen experts prev
iously sent in by their chief to exam
inc number of properties there.
Schroeder has about completed his
work and not until today did it be-
come known that he represents Ham-
mond.
Upon the result of Schroeder's re-
port depends the sale of practically
the controlling interest in three of
the largest properties in the distric.

Coalition the controlling interest is

Hammond is believed to be repr :

Schroeder refused to discuss his col

leave for the East tonight and that
his people would probably come out
with an announcement before the END
of next week
On top of this comes the announce
ment here tonight that Nat C. Good

Goodwin, with his associates, has

been quietly buying up interests since
that time. They received telegram
today from John Lambert, formerly
of the Illinois steel and wire trust
that he would start tomorrow for
Rawhide.
This insures world of capital for
the opening up of the properties in
the district, and the result is that
there is more actual mine activity
now than at any time in the history
of the camp. Real estate prices in
the past week have advanced at least

high esteem and honor in which he
was held by every employee of the

RAWHIDE LEASERS
MAKE A FORTUNE

The Car lease ON the estate of the
Rawhide Syndicate Mines Company
is turning out to be one of the big
gest things in the camp, and the
holders are in fair way to make an
independent fortune for themselves.
They have been working since the
FIRST of the month and they have now
ready for shipment more than 200
sacks of ore which will average bet
ter than 5000 a ton.
The big strike was made by the
boys last week, although they have
been working on the ledge from the
start. The lease was worked by par
ties who sunk a shaft to a depth of
85 feet, and then abandoned the
holding for the lack OF funds to go
on. They had trenched for at least
"a hundred feet on the ledge, but COW
sered up the vein with the dirt. This,
the new leasers speedily proceeded ID
uncover, and then they cut station
for distance of 20 feet or more
across the ledge. They have opened
up ledge of Is feet or more, AMI
they have yet some to go. for tho
footwall has not been encountered.
Seven feet of this ledge averages
S67 ton: IS inches goes from 5000
TO $500 ton. and more than two
feet Of it runs from $500 to $11OO
"A ton. There is showing which
compares favOrabIy with the famous
Kearns No. 2, all but the depth. 1t is
a showing that has excited the min
ing men of the camp and has brought
out more than one 1attering offer for
the lease, which has yet more than a
year to run. Tex Richard was the
first to make an offer for the lease.
but the boys, whe do not know
great deal about, mining, refused TO
part with their treasure trove.
They propose to sink a few feet
further on the shaft (which was sunk
by the former leasers, and then cross
cut to the vein, which will give them
200 feet of, backs. With this depth,
and there is little doubt of having
the ore at 200 feet; the Gar lease
win be one of the biggest mines in
Rawhide.
The groupings of the ledge can be
traced for 5000 feet across the coun-
try and on to the estate of the Raw
hide Republic. This did not escape
the vigilant eye OF Tex Richard, who
has taken a lease on the Republic,
and he is quite confident of finding
the ore there. Reno, journal.
