Newhouse Likes Rawhide.

The expert opinion of Samuel New
house is that the camp of Rawhida
bears every indication of becomlna
one of Nevada's mining centers, says
the Salt Lake Herald. He says that
in Rawhide there is not a great guam
tity of high grade ore, but there is in
sight considerable tonnage of excel
lent milling ore. He was pleased
with the camp, and said that the
prospects were bright for Rawhide.
Mr.. Newhouse returned from a visit
to Rawhide yesterday at noon on the
Los Angeles Limited.
Il was very much pleased with
Rawhide," said Mr.. Newhouse, IAN
/ consider the outlook for the camp
is promising. The development OF
the properties thus far Is an excellent
forerunner of what may be expected
from the camp. OF course, until
mines are opened up there is no one
who a say positively what is to be
| expected. The indications and the
surface showing of the Rawhide prop
critics are favorable.
"Rawhide Is suffering somewhat
just now from a reaction of the re-
! cent boom. The camp was doomed
o great deal at the start and is suffer
| ing somewhat because of this fact.
I think that the showing made by the
camp is commendable. After has
made an inspection OF the properties
do not think that he a be justified
In knocking the camp.
II visited O number Of different
leases and was pleased with the in
dications of ore. ! did not find
great deal OF shipping ore, but saw
a great deal OF good milling ore. II
! several of the shafts l could see eigh'
| or ten feet of this class of ore, rang
ing from $50 to $50 or $50 a tor
exposed. Large veins OF this ore are
to be found in the properties beint
worked.
In Rawhide say a few idle men
but / also saw a great many men a

sence OF rufianism. There were il

ty Bank. The operating expenses OF
the mine a surely not exceed at the
furthermost $500 a month. | am
also reliably informed that there has
been two mill runs in the past ninety
days, occupying five stamps at each
time, and that the ore was of an ex-
ceedingly good grade OF milling stuff,
in fact it might almost be termed
high grade; that not less than fifteen
days ago a car of high grade was
sacked and shipped from the North
Star mine. The burning question is
what is to be done with the money
realized from the oLe-cent assess
ment. 1t has been bruited about that
the notice of assessment was for the
purpose of finding out the where
abouts of lost stock. This to me
seems the most ridiculous procedure
that have yer heard of. 1t is to be
regretted, and / believe that harm
untold will come of this move, for il
is the first time in the history Of any
mining company in Tonopah tina;
there has yer been an attempt made
to levy an assessment on stock. As
to the legality of the move, / an
uncertain, but with a great numbel
of investors in all parts of the coun
try in Tonopah stocks, this ~precedent
can have nothing but a ~deleteriou'
effect. l consider this almost a bod!
blow at the mining industry of thi;
camp. l believe that 1t is up t

The second days work on the ia

IBULLFROG DISTRICT
IS NOW HUMMINti

Judge l.. o. Ray, one of the pio-
neer mining men of Tonopah, AMI
who is now located at Rhyolite, came
up from the southern country yeste.-
day and speaks in glowing terms OF
conditions there.
THE Homestake mill, which was
constructed at a cost of about $780,
900, is about completed" said Mr..
Ray last evening, "and the mine has
again started up. A force of about
twenty-five miners have been put to
work and when the mill starts there
will be a good quantity of ore 20
work on. The Tramp Consolidated
has started in to sink a 500-foot
shaft. They are shipping ore regu-
larly and are receiving good returns.
The Montgomery Shoshone is still
producing from $4,000 to $780, 900
a month and from the ore in sigh.
they should keep this up for the next
five years.
THE Diamond Queen district VIII
ship three carloads of ore sometime
this week. The ore will average over
5000 a ton. A lease has been let on
the Skookum property, and active
work will commence soon. There are
a number of other parties after leases
on this property, and in all probabi'.
ity a number will be given
The Bullfrog West Extension, one
Of the biggest mines in the district,
is working a force of about twenty
five men and expect to increase this
soon.
Work will be started in about
week on the new $4,000 schoo'
building for which bonds were issue5
several weeks ago. The new Clar.
depot is being completed and wheI
finished will be one of the finest de
pots in the West. 1t is in the sty;,

GOLD MOUNTAIN
DISTRICT LIVELY

The Gold Mountain district, south
of Tonopah, Is again coming to the
front. A lease on the Toggery clai n
No. 2 was let last week to Charles A.
Nelson, Vim. Donald. r. G. William :,
Roger Dougherty, n. Carlson ar
James Grimes, and active operations
were started Monday. A shaft is
down on the property nov to a depth
of about eighteen feet and a ledge
has been encountered that will run
over $400 to the ton. Picked samples
have given assays that will reach Ut
in the thousands.
In the pioneer days of Tonopah
there was considerable activity IN
this district and a number Of mining
properties did O large amount of de
velopIng, but no ore OF a paying quail
|Ity was found and the operations wer'
abandoned. When the extent OF tn
Toggery ledge is known II is expecte'
that a number OF other propertie
will commence operations.

NATIONAL WILL BE
ANOTHER BIG ONE

National has a formation ldenti-
cal with Tonopah. but is much larger
in extent. In my opinion National
has greater possibilities than Tono-
pah had at the same stage OF develop
ment," said L. X. Bradford, a well
known surveyor and mining man
from southern Nevada, who came in
yesterday from the new camp sew
enty-ive miles north OF Winnemucea.
Mr.. Bradford is from Tonopab and
went into National about a month
ago. After a thorough examination
! OF the Workman and Davis property,
he at once made application for n
lease, which was granted. Now eight
\ leases are In active operation on the
property and the men who are work
ing them are all from southern Ne
vada. many Of them having been sue
cessful leasers on the Siizpah in the
/ early days OF Tonopsh.
II is especially significant that MIR.
| Bradford and those other original
lTonopah leasers thinl so well OF Ma
tional that they grabbed leases Oh the
| Workman and Davis property as soon
as 1t was thrown open. II is even
more significant that all OF them have
visited Rawhide and some of the 9TH
Ter boom camps and passed up all o.
fers OF leases because things did not
look good enough 10 them.
THE formation at National is a1-
desite. identical with Tonopah, but
the mineralized are is many times a.
large" said Mr.. Bradford. "on the
Workman and Davis property, where
nine leases are at work, the ledge
has been proved for 4 distance OF 49,
600 feet to carry values OF shipping
grade. The ledge is large and ore Is
found in every place where IL has
been uncovered. The formation is

The report current on the streets
Monday TO the effect that the North
Star Mining Company had closed
down its property was the cause of
considerable surprise and comment.
Coupled with the fact that at a meet
ing of the directors held on May %,
an assessment of one cen per share
had been levied, made the news all
the more alarming. Manager Luckett
of the mine, who is also a director,
and brother-in-law Of Frank Golden,
president OF the corporation, upon
being interviewed, lad the following
to say:
I'VE have closed the mine for sew
eral days in order to get matters into
shape for a more economical working
of the property. We shall operate
through the Belmont workings and
use their hoists to carry our ores
to the surface However, ] do not
think that this should be published,
as it is premature. and by waiting
several days you could have some
thing more definite"
AS the property was closed down
and there was demand ID the part of
citizens to know if such was the case,
the Bonanza was forced to give the
facts to the public.
A prominent investor, whose
friends also have stock in the North
star, upon being questioned on the
assessment and the closing down of
the mine, unbosomed himself of the
following:
There is evidently a niger in the
wood pile and some means will surely
be taken to smoke him out. A direc'
tor of the company informed me in
the presence of a witness that, no;
