who has conducted Sunday school
there for number of years and the
final organization of the church was
completed this week by the election
OF C. B. Sturdivant and A. R. Turner
as elders and w. R. Blankenship, B.
F. Chilson and ]. w. Sturdivant as
trustees.
Services will be held in the United
Brethren church building erected at
Ukiah some time ago. 1t is possible
that the Presbyterians will purchase
this building as there is no organiza-
ton OF the United Brethren there at
this time.
In the entire immense territory be-
tween Pendleton and Ukiah, a. dis
tance Of about so miles, there are but
two church organizations, both Pres
byterian, at Pilot Rock and Ukiah.
There is no other denomination rep
resented in that entire district.

BIG PAY ROLL IN
ANOTHER MONTH

e. H. Mead, who with Captain
Thomas Hooper, recently bought q
heavy interest in the Bushwhacker,
adjoining the Royal Tiger. was Ia
camp for the last two or three days,
and left for Salt Lake this week, we |
pleased with the conditions of Raw
hide, which he declared were better
than he had ever seen them.
THE camp is going ahead on it,
own merits" said he. ''and this is
something remarkable, when one
stops to consider the age of Rawhide.
Since l have been here there have
been a number of strikes, one better
than the other, and these high-grade
discoveries will continue to go on,
while at the same time there is being
developed a wonderful amount OF
milling ore.
There are nine hoists in the camp
in operation, and there are double
that number coming, and / have
heard more about orders being given
for hoists since | have been here on
this trip than in the palmy days OF
Goldfeld. On every hand one sees
the greatest activity, and the men in
the camp are terribly in arm in
the work of development. That this
is going to be a deep mining camp
there is no doubt, and the men arr
here to make it so; men who have
had experience in deep mining, and
know where they are at, what they
want, and how to go about getting Il.
THE Bushwhacker is looking fnr,
ds is all that country over in the
west district, the Royal Tiger, Won
der King, Royal Coachman, Nevada
King and others. We are working on
the Bushwhacker with the end Ia
view of getting out the ore as fast
as possible. There are several leases
on the property, all of them working.
and all of them having good show
ings. We will have a hoist on the
property as soon as we reach more
depth, and will get in line with the
other producers. 1t is to the hoists
that the visitors look just now, and
they, in fact, look good to everybody.
for they tell the story of deep min
ing, and the determination to work
the properties for all there is in
them.
I'm another month there will be
a payroll in the camp that will make
them all sit up and take notice. Az
present most of the payrolls come out
of the pockets of the leasers. but that
the same thing; it is giving
employment to men, circulating mon
ey and developing the camp. There
is no doubt about Rawhide making
good; it has already made good

RUSH is STARTED
TO BOYD BASIN

M. III. Gillian, j. j. Riley and Fred
Oliver arrived here from the west and
left in an auto in the afternoon for
Boyd basin to inspect the Lane &
Bryan gold bonanza. They were &C
companied by G. A. Lane and w. p.
Mruhpy, the latter being the expert
whose favorable report made a few
days ago resulted in Messrs. Gillian,
Riley and Oliver going out to make
a final inspection of the properties.
It Is understood that Mr.. Gillian, who
is the representative of practically
unlimited eastern capital, has an OPP
ton on the Lane & Bryan holdings,
and If the result of the final inspec-
ton is satisfactory, of which there is
hardly a shadow of doubt, the rich
property Will be taken over.
There is intense interest in Win
nemucca over Boyd basin, with all
the indications that a boom Of the
liyeliest kind will break out in a very
few days. In fact, the boom is al
ready in evidence as far as the sale
of lots in the Florence townsite il
concerned. Half of the Main street
lots have been sold right here In
Winnemucca since they were placed
ON sale a week ago. The buyers are
mostly Winnemucca business men
who see that the signs of the times
point to Florence having one of the
biggest booms in the history of Ne
vada mining. and they do not intend
to overlook the opportunity for Al
real estate investment with every
promise of quick and big returns.
Main streets inside lots, which
were sold last week for 800 each,
have been advanced to $3.50, and the
demand indicates that before the end
of the week every Main street lot il
the business part of the new town
will have been taken.
A number of the sales have been
to outside people who intend to go
into business in Florence.
G. r. Hays has purchased a saloon
outfit here and will leave for Flor
in a day of so to open up for
business. At least two other saloons
will be opened there Just as soon az
the outfits can be taken out.
c. A. Rogers and Mr.. Toombs, will
leave for Florence In a few days to
open a general merchandise store,
They will have a stock of goods com
prising everything needed in a min
ing camp, and as both are hustlers
they are bound to do a good bust
ness.
Harvey McAdams, formerly of
Winnnemucca arrived this week froLa
Fallon with two big teams with
which he has been freighting into
Rawhide. The teams will be loaded
here with outfits for other business
houses which are to be opened at
Florence.
Winnemucca is the natural outfit
ting point for the new camp, and the
movement that has started is onls
the beginning. The rush to Boyd
basin, which will be in full swing in
a few weeks. will mean greatarI
things for this town, already the best
in the state,-Humboldt Star.
