expected. Drifts at the 65-foot level
are being extended in high grade
shipping ore and a crosseut to the
hanging wall is also showing high
values. There is a total of over $780,
900 worth of ore on the dump, taken
out in the course of development
work only, and several times this
amount proved up in the mine. The
ore is becoming richer with every
foot of work, the latest samplings
giving returns of $167.69 across the
big ore shoot.
The entire bottom of the shaft on
the De Almond lease is in high grade

Through this ore body seams of pic
ture ore are of frequent occurrence
giving to the whole shoot average
values of from $50 to SIS a ton.

HUNDRED STAMPS
BIG PLANT OF THE PITTSBURG
SILVER PEAK is RUN
MING SMOOTHLY.

The big mill at the Pittsburg Sill
yer Peak was dropping a hundred
stamps yesterday for the first time
and reports received here were to
the effect that the plant was running
as smoothly as a brook, and that,
taken in its entirety, it was one of
the finest in the world.
George o. Bradley is now the gen.
eral manager OF the mine and mill,
aud he has the reputation as a min
ing engineer that is second to none
in the West. The fact that he is in
charge of the property is sufficient
evidence of the worth of the mine,
such is the esteem in which Mr.. Brad
ley is held in the mining world.
Word from the mine says that the
ore is getting better, and that there
is apparently no end of it. The new
general manager is represented as
being very well satisfied with the
outlook.

INCREASE CAPITAL.

Amended articles of incorporation
were filed in the county clerks Office
by the Rawhide Coalition Mining
Company. The company was recent
ly incorporated for $1,000, 900. The
amended articles ask that the capital
ization be increased to $4,000, 900. .
The Coalition is one of the big
properties of the Rawhide district.
Control in the claims was purchased
this week by f. w King and others
said to be close to the Hartman in
%terests, for more than $500, 600. This
deal is looked upon as one which in
sures making Rawhide's future GER
tain as well as demonstrating its
claim to being the richest mining
camp in the world.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
BUILDING W BY MAGIC.

Nevada has gone into the business of building towns in a night.
The lure OF gold is the miracle worker. Rawhide, OF the picturesque
name, is the latest of these astonishing communities born of a lucky
strike. The marvellous lode uncovered at that place lay undiscovered
within twenty feet of a stage road that has been travelled regularly for
thirty o more years. Thousands Of passengers have passed over the
deposits without knowing how close they were to fortune. We forbear
10 recite the tale of the assays, because the figures run to totals that
may seem extrayagant Or exaggerated, but the town is there, with al
ready some 5000 people where two months ago there w a nothing but
horned toads and akai
There are three banks and four newspapers in Rawhide, and eight
Zines of automobiles are pushed to carry all the people who want to
strike the new town. The beds in the tent hotels are run in eight-hour
OF course, we have no idea whether the camp will be permanent
Reports of great mining finds must always await the confirmation of
experience. The richness of the deposits so far uncovered is establish
ed, but it is always possible that they may be confined to pockets, with
n well defined lode of the sort that made the Comaock a bonanza. But
Rawhide. in its present condition, offers a example of the way they do

GOLDFIELD is BUYING.

Goldfield mining men are not so
blind but that they can see a good
thing in any other section. Hence
the exodus to Rawhide. 1t is hardly
an exodus, as nearly all of the men
who are putting in their money eth
er in the purchase of mining ground
there or leases, still claim allegi-
ance to Goldfeld as their homes and
some of the best finds made in the
camp, as well as the richest ground,
have been purchased or located by
Goldfield mining men. The camp is
growing fast and the advance in the
price of mining property is surpris-
ing. Ore is being piled up and sack
ed at forty different shafts and
steady shipments are being sem out
even under adverse conditions on ac-
count of the long wagon haul and
the congested trouble with the rail-
ways in getting the ore to the smell
tiers. The dilatory tactics of the
smelters in making settlements for
shipments has also been a drawback.
G. A. Newman, who is associated
with r. NJ. Barsness and Mrs. A. A.
Hall, are the latest adventures in
the new camp. They have bought
the Gold Reef, situated close to the
Royal and Tiger, on which pay rock
has been found, and also bought the
Jordan lease which adjoins the Mil
Ter on Hooligan hill. All the PROV
critics will be incorporated under the
name of the Rawhide Independent
