SHOWING UP WELL
MANY LEASERS ON PROPERTIES
IN THE NEW CAMP TO
THE SOUTH.
Especial Correspondence. )

JAMESTOWN, May with forty
leases already let and fully one half
that number working, this camp is
making wonderful Roadway in the
development of the properties.
The owners of the leases not work
ing are hustling around to raise the
money to enable them to start in.
Three 25-horse power gasoline en-
gines have been ordered, and will be
installed Immediately on arrival, One
property is bonded for $685. 900, and
will be formally transferred in a few
days. This is known as the Trapman
mine, just north of the town. The
shaft is down 1876 feet and exposes o
ledge 81 feet wide of fine free mill
ing ore. A ten-stamp mill Is to be
built at once to be operated by water
from the mine.
Several of the large Goldfield o)-
orators have been quietly looking
over the ground and negotiating for
leases, and it is expected that the
next week or ten days will show up
some large and interesting develop
ments.
Assays from $50 to $40 in gold are
being obtained from ordinary ledge
matter neal the surface.
The population of jamestown is
nov estimated to be over 400 people.
There are already a number of frame
buildings up; four stores, five sa-
looms, six or seven restaurants ami
two hotels, and two corrals are dol lg
business in full swing. Automobiles
and teams line the road continually.

Great Bend i'm
the LimeIight

Goldfeld, the hub mining camp of
Nevada, has not startled the world
since the Little Florence and Rogers
Syndicate strikes of several weeks
ago, says the Goldfield News. They
are proving two of the biggest things
the mining world has heard about for
a long time, but not sufficient t.
maintain the reputation of 'the
greatest mining camp on earth in
definitely. 1t was necessary that
something entirely novel occur-and
it has occurred.
Great Bend has now entered the
limelight and the property promis IS
fair to maintain its position in the
center of the stage for some time t.
come.
Messrs. Lotus & Davis, in their
lease on the Great. Bend, haze en-
eountered n of the latest bonanzas
that the mining history Of southern
Nevada records. They have develop
ed a ledge, ranging from one to two
feet in width, that carries values all
the way from $40 to $4,000, and
which will easily break 5000 a ton
for its entire height, length and
breadth.
In the Great Bend the ~leasers hare
developed an ore shoot for a distance
of 1875 feet on the 300 level. a
Wine has been sunk so feet in ore
and another drift has been run in the
bonanza stuff at the $50.
The string of assays since the find
ing of the bonanza ledge reads like
an Aladdin tale. There are returns
in two, three, four and five figures,
and it is very modest to state that q
couple Of hundred dollars IS all that
the shoot will average.
Great Bend is located in the Dia-
m%ondfeld section of the Goldfeld
district, and is an intimate neighbor
of the Daisy, a mine in itself.
But the Great Bend ore differs
somewhat from that in the Daisy
mine, inasmuch as it contains certain
bases which the Daisy cannot boast
of. 1t has the free gold. even the
~sylvanite, but it has more. The sill
yer contents alone would make L
worth mhiio Thou thoua T., 4oto.nkal
rite in abundance, while the bulk of
the base is blackjack, a zinc and lead
formation that is worth more as a by
product than it could possibly steal
from the noble metallic content in
the course of reduction. Gold has
formed an alliance with the zinc in
the Great Bend, for where the blac l.
jack crystals exist in greatest num-
Der, there are the gold values high
est. From $1,000 to $4,000 is
the usual return when a fine black
jack specimen is assayed.
Messrs. Lotus & Davis not only
own this lease, but they have con
troll of the capital stock In the Gre1t
Bend company itself and recently
they have not been ayerse to pur-
chasing any blocks that might have
been thrown upon the market. These
geneltmen entered upon the business
of making a mine of the Great Bend,
and they have backed their eonfden g

will continue to do so uninterruptedly
for the backs are proven for not only
the winze depth, but well toward the
surface, and to the depths, as the
strike was made in virgin ground.
This strike in Great Bend carries
with it a significance not fully ap-
preciated until all the conditions are
known, as it opens up a hitherto ull-
developed and unproven section of
the district, and also conclusively
proves that the ores of Goldfield dis
trict are not superficial deposits, but
ertend to the depths.

Late News items

Through the action of the State
Railroad Commission, material re-
duction in transportation charges on
low grade ore shipped to Salt Lake
City may be secured.
The railroad commission is seek
ing information from all the mining
districts OF the State. 1t is evidently
its purpose to be well equipped with
facts and figures before presenting
the case to the railroads and later,
probably to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Not only does the COM
mission seek to learn the amount of
low grade ore already mined, but es-
Inmates are asked as to the prospec-
tive tonnage that could be set in mo-
ton at reduced transportation rates.
While this information is for ref
erence in case of appeal to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. Secre-
tary Walker is equally DESTROYS Of
securing estimates on ore of ever less
value than $12, which might be
treated at Nevada plants. If it caa
be shown there is a sufficient amor It
of this low grade ore it is quite Nike
ly the State Railroad Commission will
insist upon such transportation rates
in the State as will cause thousands
of tons to be treated.

north OF Tonopah to look into the
merits OF a mining property to which
their attention had been directed. On
their return in the afternoon they en-
countered a gale which must have
been blowing at the rate of 60 miles

The Common Chord.

Every time you walk the street
What a lot of folks you meet
Whom you never saw before;
Whom you'll ne'er encounter more!
Every car that rolls along
Holds of strangers such throng!
Every dot upon the map
Marks a city. Not a rap
Do these myriad beings care
For the ills that others bear.
Nor the pleasures others know
AS their various ways they go.
All are strangers till a song
Or a story comes along.
Or some little sentence fraught
With a new and forceful thought.
Then one mighty impulse thrills
And the song or laughter fills
All the world with echoes gay,
And each mortal seems to say:
what a pleasure it's to strike
Men with tastes to mine alike!
Though know them not by name,
All our moods are much the same.
I'm regretting more and more
That we hadn't met before!
