Only a prospect as yet, and there
is the criticism to offer. Will the
ore go down? The leasers and the
owners are working their best efforts
to determine that question, and the
Kearns lease is down between eighty
five and ninety feet. and the gold at
the bottom of the shaft is richer than
that at the surface by hundreds of
dollars. On last Saturday afternoon
the Grutt brothers opened up a ledge
on the surface which goes into the
picture values, and the boys took out
a big chunk of the stuff at that.
On Sunday it was the turn of the
Tiger and Royal group to do some
thing for the camp. They ran a cut
in for ten feet, and uncovered two
and a half feet of ore that assayed
$3.50 to the ton; and they drilled for
thirty-six inches further and got the
same stuff. Here was six feet of
ore, which will average $256 a ton.
This is pretty hard to beat. Two
hundred feet to the north of this
strike another find was uncovered,
where the ore went as high as $500.
On Monday. on the Truitt lease of
the R~oseberry property, which is be-
tween the other two strikes, and to
the south of both, there was another
strike made. They uncovered six in
ches of ore here which went nearly
$4,000 to the ton, there being in this
twenty ounces of silver, the rest be-
ing in gold.
S. X. Bradford of Tonopah, who is
now in Rawhide, said of the Tiger
and Royal that the showing far SUR
passed that of the Combination mine
of Goldfield at the same stage of de-
velopment. He saw both properties
in the same stage of development,
and is well qualified to judge.
Tonopah is well represented now
in the new camp. Key Pittman. the
well known attorney of this place,
took a party to Rawhide in his auto
mobile on Saturday last. This was
Tic ocCOHu Trip VI MI. itbhIdu "
Rawhide, having established on o
previous visit a branch of his law
Office in conjunction with f. A. Stew
ems. If Mr.. Pittman was pleased
with the camp On the occasion of his
former visit, he was enthused on his
last trip. He is firmly convinced
that the camp is going to be one OF
the greatest in the State. and lost nc
time in securing interests in the
camp. Among the latter was one in
the rich Murray lease, one of the
sensations of the camp.
w. w. Booth, proprietor Of the
Daily Bonanza, was n of the ar
rivals in the camp Sunday, and ii
his wake was the plant for the new
Rawhide Rustler, which Mr.. Bootl
las recently bought. 1t is expected
that the Rustler will be issued unde'
the new management next week. TIL,
plant for the paper is complete ant
fTst-class in every respect, embrac
ing a new cylinder press and a jol
press, and a full line of newspape
/ and display type, paper cutter, an
all the equipment for a newspape
and job printing Office.
