Rushing Into
the New Camp

~ 5OAb5 "a 1oNA 49, N
there are many coming out, and
everyone coming out is just as en-
thusiastic as those going into the
new Ell Dorado. Strikes are of daily
occurrence, and they are shipping the
ore from the camp. People coming
back to Tonopah look upon the camp
as the salvation of the country, for
the reason that it aas attracted the
attention of the mining world to Ne
vada again at a time when the finan-
cial situation is Just being straight
ened out.
The Goldfeld people are getting
into the camp as thickly as the Tono-
pah men, who were the first to give
the camp the impetus which resulted
in the wide spreading boom. w. r.
Bond and Company Of Goldfield, who
got into Rawhide some time g and
secured the Red Top claim, are
among those to whom congratula-
tions are coming. News has just
been received that the Truett lease
on the Red Top broke into ore on
Thursday night at a depth Of sixty
feet, which for one foot will average
$500 a ton. The shaft. it is said, IS
sinking between two big veins,
which, it is expected, will come to-
gether at the 100-foot level, toward
which sinking is going on as fast as
possible. Truett is the Goldfielder
who had the lucky lease which was
named for him on the Mohawk. The
Clawson lease on the Red Top is also
said to be looking very well, having
several seams of high grade ore.
James Conlisk OF the Tonopah
Drug Company, returned from the
camp yesterday, and he came back
like the rest of those who have gone
to see and came away convinced.
1T is surely the liveliest camp that
have even seen" said Mr.. Conlisk
and it looks good to me from al
standpoints. They have the ore there
all right, for it is plainly to 2 seen.
in fact. / do not believe tb' such
showing was ever seen in my camp
Busy is no name for the amp, ans
there are crowds of people coming II
every day. The streets are thronget
all day long and all night, too, TO
that matter, and there Is more bust
ness done there in a day than Their
is in the average place in a month.
II saw four eight-horse teams 90
ing out while | was there, going gu
with ore, and that's what looks goo
, in a camp. There are more mimi
, people in there from all parts of tn
East and West than were ever gath
cred in one place before, and every
, one of them says that Rawhide is tn
Z greatest camp that they have eve
: seen. My observations lead me {
believe that they are right. l hay
e no interests in the camp, but wis
/ had. believe that We will hear {
/ great developments there, and tn;
. Rawhide will be another of the sci
a sational camps of Nevada"
