Judging by late events, the Monte
yuma district is soon to return to the
activity which prevailed a quarter of a
century ago, when rich ore was hauled
by OK teams across the almost trackless
desert, for a hundred miles to Austin
and from thence shipped to San Fran
cisco and Swansea, Wales, for treat
ment.
OF late the Montezuma company, a
Boston concern, owning a great proper
tion of the claims in the district, and
which for many years allowed their
valuable possessions to remain I'M
touched, has become inspired with new
life by recently recognizing, and get
ting some live ones interested.
One of the new propositions will be
the working by the company of the
once famous Bullion mine. 1t Is ex-
pected that the work of putting the
property in shape will begin early IN
September, according to advices re-
Gently received by Richard Gundry, the
superintendent, who has been on the
ground and in charge of the estate for
TWENTY-FIVE years. With the Bullion
shipping its rich ore, interest in Monte
yuma will become keener than 1t has
been for a number of years.
Another evidence that the Monte
zuma is becoming wise to the
situation became public a few days ago
when a bond and lease was granted a
Kansas City syndicate on the Nevada
claim. This is one of the best of the
company's possessions, so far as surface
indications obtain. A forty-foot shaft
comprises the work done, but it passed
through a rich ledge which gave every
indication of eneountering high values
by sinking comparatively only a few
feet. Work ceased on this promising
property when the company had It's
mix-up.
A few months ago one of Goldfieid S
best mining men made many visits to
the district and became impressed with
the showings of the Nevada. Numer
Gus samples were placed in the hands OF

cts the richest thing we have
struck in a long while.' 1t was Super
intendent James Mcdonald of the
Round Mountain Mining company who
spoke. The Nugget reporter held a
piece of rock about the size of a man s
fist which was simply ~impregnated with
gold and the superintendent s remark
was made in a ont which would have
indicated to anyone who happened to
casually overhear it that he was re-
fcrring to a potato or a can OF beans,
says the Round Mountain Nugget.
1t would be ridiculous to attempt TO
state how rich the ore went. So far as
this account is concerned it is unneces-
sary whether it went 81, 900 or $4,000
to the ton. The gold was there and in
greedy quantity. M
This ore was run into on Wednesday
night in the eastern extremity OF the
drift on the 450-foot level where Mr..
Mcdonald is opening up the big Sunny
side ore body. 1t is found throughout
the breast of the drift. and it has not
been left behind yet.
Quite as important as the above news
and considerably more f~ar-reaching in
its ultimate results is the information
given out by Mr.. Mcdonald that the
main incline was to be sunk anothersl0 0
feet which will take it down to a dis
lance of $50 feet.
At the 550-foot level the mine has q
20-foot ledge which for eight feet near
the hanging wall goes better. than $50,
while the entire distance across will
yield an average value of between SO
and $40.

New York, August 4.-The market
for rails and industrials on the Stock
Exchange seems to be hating and spec
~ulators are undoubtedly taking profits.
There is no sign Of any marked reaction,
however, and it is believed by good
Judges of conditions that New York
stocks are simply taking a rest after
their sharp upturn of the past three
weeks. There is likely to be a further
advance after a few days of hesitating
prices. after which a normal reaction
may be expected.
Curb and mining issues generally, on
the contrary, are much stronger and are
constantly gaining in strength. The
market is broadening and there seems
no doubt but that these are the issues
in which large profits are abtainable on
the bull side. Goldfeld stocks and the
coppers are the surest to advance.
No cloud now darkens the ~finaneial
sky. The banks are full of money. The
crops are big. The winter wheat mar
vest. while not a record one, was large
and the spring wheat crop approaches
bumper proportions. The west has had
abundant rain and the corn crop is safe.

NATIONAL IS BECOMING A
CAMP OF GREAT PROMISE

Notwithstanding hard times and
other obstacles that seem to beset the
leaser, National as a coming mining
camp is slowly but surely forging to
the front, SAYS a Star correspondent.
Developments in the past month have
shown a decided improvement in all
things pertaining to the mines aud pros
poets of this district. Some f~orty-ive
leasers are now at work and with hut
very few exceptions all are working on
ore. some on high and others on low
grade, but ore nevertheless. The mill
ing or low grade bodies have shown
themselves to be of immense size. For
instance, on the Pauling and Buret
lease prosecuting has exposed a body
of ore twenty feet wide, with neither
wall in sight, that will easily average
SIS per ton in gold and silver.
This is only one of several instances.
and in almost every case where any ex-
ploitation or development work has
been carried on to any great extent ex-
posures of ore bodies with variable
values nave been the result.
Fine Showing On Leases
The Walker brothers lease on Auto
hill so far looks the best, from the fact
that a larger force of men is working
here and necessarily a greater amount
of development has been done. On this
lease, at a depth of seventy-five feet,
high grade shipping ore is being stopped
and, barring accidents, the LIST of
August will see the ore on its way to
the shelters for treatment. On all
other Auto hill leases progress is being
made as well as can be expected under
conditions.
On Charleston hill ~leasers are making
rapid progress and are showing up
splendid bodies of ore. As on
Auto hill, some of the veins are large
and no doubt will prove good milling
propositions. Some very high grade ore
has been taken from the Gayer and
lease, as well as from sew
nral other leases near it. Tale contain
ing high grade silver values is found in
this part of the district, with some gold.
On Radiator hill, the third group of
The j. L. Workman properties, active
development work is being carried on
with gratifying results. Some fairly
high grade ore is in sight, with the
usual large bodies of low grade ore in
evidence.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION

assayers and the universal results were
such that the gentlemen began negotiat-
ing for its possession. Now the deal is
closed, the papers are in escrow, a half
dozen miners are at work placing the
old shaft in a condition of safety, a
tw~entv-horse power gasoline hoist has
been ordered, and development on an
extended scale will soon begin and
prosecuted in an intelligent manner.
Fifteen hundred feet north from the
Nevada is the Buckeye group, owned
by Massillon, Ohio, capitalists. ID. A..
Bessler, a gentleman who has had a
varied experience in Arizona and Ne
vada, has been experimenting affairs
for two years. An incline is down 200
feet, a within has recently been replaced
with a twenty-four-horse power gaso-
line hoist, and cutting for the ledge,
about seventy feet from the bottom, Is
being prosecuted vigorously. Excellent
ore has been encountered and Superin-
tendent Bessler believes that when the
ledge is caught after about thirty feet
more of work, the Buckeye will be
sacking the nigh grade.
Soaking is the order of the day on
the Pandora, a group owned by MIN
nesota capitalists. The property is
located northwest of the Mountain
group and o. r. Whitaker, a gentleman
possessed of superior mining knowledge
is in charge. A s~ixteen-horse power
gasoline hoist was recently put in com
mission.
One of the needfuls is a wagon road
out of the district, in order to avoid the
long and steep grade which must now
be used. A new roadway with a light
Grade could be constructed at a nomina
cost. If the county commissioners
would lend a helping hand to the extent
of a few hundred dollars the owners
and leasers would cheerfully do the
balance; on the completion of which
MANY investors would nc doubt En-
deavor to obtain possession of some of
the known good things, and in their sue
cess Goldfeld would surely reap a rich
reward.

silver ore was made on some property
owned by Mike Merrick, Harry Cahill
and William Thompson. An open cut
extended into the hill exposed a vein
about six feet wide with about sixteen
inches of extremely rich ore carrying
brittle silver and free gold. This prop
erty joins the Charleston hill ground
on the north and is without doubt the
continuation of the Charleston hill
leads. There are six claims of this
group and varying values have been
found on -four OF the six claims. The
owners are very enthusiastic ever their
find and will begin active development
Immediately.
Still another strike was made ,ast
week that cuts no little figure with this
camp by James Gleeson and associates
on ground owned by them asioiairr the
Workman properties. The vein matter
is about twenty feet wide and shews up
strong, with silver snlphides i~istr:trtel
throughout its entire width. This, ike
the Merrick vein, is without doubt a
continuation of some of the Charleston
hill lodes. These two new strikes proye
eonclusively that the metals of this dis
trict are widely distributed and not
confined wholly to one little apct. as
out braying white-lievered knockers
would have us believe.
Everybody Is at Work
The population is steadily increasing
and numbers now about 100 souls.
There is not an idle man in camp; all
are busy in their own way. Some are
working for themselves, some are work
ing for others, but all are working for
the welfare and good of National.
To a stranger on first entering the
town he would be struck with the ap.
p~esrance of emptiness or quietness, but
on closer observation he will readily
understand the situation, for a glance
around the hills will show him the men
digging digging for the coveted metal.
Some are sinking holes, others are drift
ing, while others are surface trenching.
But all are working with a will, a vim
and a spirit of good cheer that can not
be surpassed in any camp in the state.
Quite a force of men have been build
ing a road, connecting this place with
the Flat Creek station, a point on the
McDermitt and Winnemucca road. Now
we have o splendid road leading into
camp. We stand ready to welcome all
comers-- automobiles or anything else.
