This type of engine is new to this

Large Price Paid for ndeeped Group In the New Mining District Of
JSsuppeFg Taken Over By Reno Capitalists and Development
Will Start at Once GPea Activity In New Camp and Conservatives
Predict It Sure Winner What Is Doing at the Mines

BY far one of the most important
mining deals and one that carries
with it more than ordinary signif-
canoe, was closed last Monday in
Reno when the Nat c. Goodwin COM
pany, the widely known mining firm,
purchased the Hopkins property in
the Jessup district. The amount in
volved in the transaction is said to be
$4,000 cash and $4,000 shares of
stock. A substantial cash payment
was made when the papers were sign
ed and other payments will follow
each 80 days. G. H. Logan, one of
the best known mining engineers of
the state recently examined the prop
erty and it was on his report that
the cal was closed.
The property which has just
changed hands is regarded as being
one of the best undeveloped claims
in the Jessup district. 1t is located
and joins Immediately on the south
of the King Solomon claim on which
the original strike was made. There
are two claims, the Mary H. and Mary
H. No l. Other than running few
trenches through the ledge, no devel-
opment work has been done but the
showing made by the cuts was suf-
ficient to satisfy the purchasers that
the property was a coming bonanza
and no time was lost in gaining pos
session. Where the cuts have been
run the ledge shows a width of
fully eight feet and average assays
show returns of better than $40.
The big ledge outcrops for more than
600 feet and good paintings have
been obtained for the entire distance
of the outcrop. The dixie is the same
as that which cuts through the Jes-
sup Murray property and there is no
question but that when properly de-
veloped the same high values will be
encountered.
From parties in from the new dis
trict yesterday it was learned that
engineers were now on the ground in
behalf of the Goodwin company for
the purpose of arranging for develop
ment work. 1t is announced that a
shaft will be started and that nothing
will be left undone to open up the
ground in the shortest time possible.
Three shifts of miners will be put on
and when the proper depth has been
attained a substantial hosting plant
will be installed.
Messrs. Sam and Robert Hopkins
and Charles Stoker, all well known in
Lovelock, were the original locators
of the Mary H and Mary H No. !,
having discover the ground the
early part of this year. Besides the
property just sold. they have the

WHAT is DOING AT THE
NEW CAMP.

A Tribune representative spent
several days in the new district the
early part of this week and it may be
said that the infant camp is destined
to rank among the best in the state.
The population is variously estimated
at from 400 to 600 people, and pros
pectors, miners, investors and busi-
ness seekers are going in daily. All
the lots on the main street in White
Canyon have been sold and the prices
have jumped from $25 to $500 for
inside lots and from $l25 to $500 for
corner lots. So great has been the
demand for lots that those on the
side streets are going rapidly. These
are bringing fancy figures, and from
the manner in which people are buy
ing it now has the appearance that
the town would have a population of
5000 or 1000 within the next 90
days.
A petition has been circulated and
when all have signed it will be for
warded to the postmaster general
asking that a postoffice be established
at White Canyon. Embodied in the
petition is a recommendation from
the residents of the new town that
F. A. Preston be appointed post
master.
Among the new businesses that
have been started during the past
ten days is an assay Office. Two new
lodging houses and a restaurant.
The new town now supports the fol-
lowing businesses: F. A. Preston,
general merchandise, mining supplies,
etc.; A. W. Ellis, assay Office; j. P.
Ferretto, lodging house; Miss S Ac-
quirria. lodging house; ]. H. Bell,
boarding house; ]. W. Hayes, saloon;
Benedict & Neville, saloon; Farretto
& Panelli, saloon; Parker & Jones.
restaurant; Louie Sandal, restaurant
G. Baker, corral and feed yard.
Parties from Reno will be on the
ground next week with supplies for a
big hotel and rooming house. Three
carloads of lumber have been shipped
from Lovelock and a like number
from Hazen. and as soon as it can be
hauled to the new town number of
substantial buildings and residences
will be erected.
The activity in the district is moi
confined to the business in the town
but those holding claims in the dis
trict are getting busy and active de-

Several Important Strikes
Recently Recorded.

Creates COmmeni....WOrk Planned.

That the old Trinity mining dis
trict, located ten miles north of Love-
lock, will again soon be in the lime
light of Nevada's foremost mining
camps, is evidenced by the good re-
ports that are coming from that
section. Not alone are good reports
coming in but samples from the dis
trict have been brought in which
show the yellow metal in liberal
quantities and if conditions continue
to improve it will not be many
weeks before regular shipments will
be going out of Trinity district.
Among the latest strikes to be
made is that on the Nevada California
Mining compspy's property. John A.
Macpherson, acting manager and a
large stockholder in the above com.
pany. has a number of specimens
taken from the company's workings.
which are among the best ever placed
on exhibition in Lovelock, showing
as they did. almost one-third gold.
Mr.. Macpherson informs the Trib-
une representative that the strike
was make in the breast of the tunnel,
which has been driven for a distance
of some seventy feet on an eleven
foot ledge. The pay streak varies in
width from one to three inches, while
the balance Of the ledge carries q
high average grade of mill ore. As
work progresses in the tunnel the
sbowings become better and it is
believed further work will open a
bonanza ledge.
Mr.. Macpherson stated that shaft
had been sunk to depth of forty
feet on another ledge about 80 feet
from where the new strike was made
in the tunnel. At depth of % feet
an assay running better than $500
was obtained, while in the bottom
picked samples run better than
$2500.
Manager Macpherson stated that
plans were being made to inaugurate
vigorous crusade Of development
and that when started it would be
carried out on very large scale.

First Lease to Start Work

Morrison & Company, the we'll
known mining engineers and survey
ors, have the honor of starting the
first lease, work having been CON-
menced on Monday of this week.
The company has secured a block of
ground on the King Solomon claim,
only 400 feet from the shaft where
the original strike was made. In
trenching ten foot ledge was opened
up and from present indications the
lease has all the earmarks of develop
ing into bonanza. Running through
the main ledge are two 2-foot streaks
of quartz heavily impregnated with
hematite of iron in which free gold
is found. The King Solomon vein
cuts directly through the lease and
the owners are confident with proper
development they will encounter high
grade values. In this company are

Sinking on the Mabel b.

Messrs. Jessup and Murray, the
pioneers of the district, and who are
credited with making the first big
strike, have commenced work on the
Mabel B. This claim joins the King
Solomon, also owned by Jessup and
Murray. A very strong ledge out
crops on the Mabel B and is none
other than the continuance of the
Hopkins veins. Several trenches have
been run and from each cut paintings
of very encouraging nature have
been obtained. The owners have
started a shaft and will sink to a
depth of so feet when a series of
drifts and crosscuts will be run.
