Of the men employed by the lease fired
a shot into the wall at a depth of about
10 feet. The blast brought to light at
least six inches of ore that is fairly yell
low with gold. Exceptionally rich speci-
mems are virtually pure nuggets. Pan
nings of the, dirt leave stringers that
resemble the bonanza revelations of
Dawson and Nome. Nuggets bigger
than grains of wheat are common n
some of them are the size of peas. No

that the truck will run as high as $780,

Rawhide. New. March 26.-FTfteen
miles southwest of Rawhide. II miles
northeast Of Walker lake. and IL miles
from Buckley station on the Southern
Pacific, lies the Nugent district. which.
during the past two weeks has been at
tracing a great deaf Of attention among
mining men of Nevada The district
is seven miles long. and four miles
wide, and is highly mineralized through
out its entire area. Eighteen months
ago two prospectors. named respective
", Nugent and Miller. entered the dis
trict. During all of this time. up to
within the past fortnight. they nave
practically m~onopolized the situation.
Now the road from Buckley is fairly
dotted with automobiles. wagons and
freighters going into the new Eldorado.
and already a fair sized camp has been
started there.
T~hroughout the entire district large
porphyry dikes intersect one another In
numerous places. These bikes outcrop
boldly and the formation is largely
quartz in character. One Of these bikes
can be traced for 1000 feet and in many
places is 100 feet in width, and as far
as surface indications are concerned Is
a solid quartz. To the north of a fiat.

is a range of hills which Is one mass of
well defined lodges. all carrying gold
values. ranging from $50 to 5000 per

in the field completing final arrange
ments for the plating Of the TOWNSHIP.
Three miles distant from the TOWNSHIP
are springs Of fresh water.

NEW DISTRICT OF NUGENT
IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Among the companies operating in
the Nugent camp is the Rawhide Nugent
Mining which has a force Of
men sinking a shaft on one of the pay
lodges. This company is being financed
by the Cameron brothers and A. E.
Boise. all of whom are well known in
Goldfeld and Rawhide.
c. II. Scott n A. II. Jones are direct
ing the destinies of the Nugent Con-
solidated company. Mr.. Scott is the well
known banker of Los Angeles and con-
nected with the Huntington interests Of
southern California. These gentlemen
have one of the most promising proper
ties In the district and no time will be
lost In urging forward the development
work. Two conditions tend to the be-
lief that this will be one of the most
successful companies in the state, first.
the fact that the property itself is a
very meritorious one and secondly its
management and excellent imam
cial backing.
On the White Rock and Red Fox
groups Gus Rab and Mike O'Connors
son to believe that the now prospect
will develop into the paying mine.
Two shafts. one 100 feet deep and
the other 10 feet in depth. are being
sunk on the Nugent-Miller group. Both
of these shafts are In pay ore.
There is every reason to believe that
before the coming of summer camp
Nugent will nave assumed large pro-
portions and an enviable reputation as a
gold producing camp.

This, the sheepmen claim, would
hardly pay the expense of the clip
ping and shipping to railroad points.
The big warehouses being erected
at Omaha and other points will be
used to store wool of those sheepmen
who have not facilities for storing 1t
on their own premises. The larger
wool growers, who have regular wool
sheds, will store their own wool. The
warehouses at Omaha are being built
by Omaha business men, who have
entered into an understanding with
many western sheepmen to handle
and store their wool.
This movement on the part OF the
wool growers is not in the nature of
trust to rob the people nor to de-
mand exhorbitant prices, but merely
as protection against what they
claim is a wool buying syndicate in
the east.-Pocatello Tribune.
