LATEST GOLD CAMP is
ALREADY A PRODUCER
DUNGLEN SENDS FIVE CARLOADS
TO SHELTER
Newly Discovered Ledges Are Said to
Be the Mothers of OId-Time
Placer Fields of That
Section

The numerous rich finds in yellow
producing lodges all over the desert
section of the state lead one to be-
into her own.
The latest of these rich finds was
brought to the notice of the Austin
Reveille by c. A. Baldwin, a mining
man, with headquarters at RenQ, who
recently returned from Dunglen, the
new gold camp which has come into
existence within the past five weeks
as a result of the rich gold discov-
cries.
Dunglen is situated within nine miles
of Mill City, New, and is near and
west of Winnemucca. 1t was worked
in the early SOS and is reported to
have produced it's thousands in gold
and other materials. The old work.
ings are within two miles of the new
mines, and it is singular fact that
the discovery was not made at that
time, and the rich ledges worked, as
the groupings are bold and have a
plentiful showing of the yellow metal,
even at the surface.
Nearby canyons and gulches were
worked years ago for placer gold and
paid handsomely. The newly discov-
cred ledges are beyond doubt the moth
ers of the old-time placer fields of
that section.
The main ledge in the camp lies on
contact between slate and quartzite
and is reported to be traceable at sur
face for a number of miles. 1t shows
an average width of five feet, and
wherever development work has been
done along it's trend good gold values
have been obtained.
The camp has already made a rec
ord as a shipper. Five carloads a
week have been going out to the re-
duction plant at Hazen and the pro-
duction shows net returns of $127 in
gold a ton. Already a stamp mill
is being erected and leases are being
let daily. There is an abundance of
water for milling and mining pur-.
poses and those who have visited the
new camp predict that with develop
ment 1t may become a second Gold

LAPPAT LEAD MINE
is SOLD FOR $4,000
BASALT PEAK PROPERTY FORMS
FIVE CLAIMS
One of the Biggest Lead-SllNer Veins
Ever Exposed Is Opened the
Length of More Than
Claim

Reno capitalists have purchased the
Lappat lead property, situated west of
Basalt peak, paying for the five claims
$4,000. One of the biggest lead-silver
veins ever exposed in the country has
been opened the length of more than
a claim at intervals of a hundred or so
feet. The general average of ore saved
is $50 per ton. The vein lies along a
lime and porphyry contact and is fully
sixty feet in width.
The purchasers are Ernest Wilson,
the well known mining engineer or
Reno, and l.. e. G. Jordan of the Ne
vada Supply company. Lappat and
his partner, Louis woodward of Gold
field, retain an interest in the valua-
BILE holding. Lappat is now on the
ground directing development work.
Some rich ore is being mined and sort
ed for shipment. The first conslgn-
ment will go to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company within fortnight.
The group of claims lie about seven
miles southwest of Rawhide and within
three miles of the route of the Raw
hide Western Railway company. In
addition to splendid lead and silver
values the ore carries some gold. The
lead is principally in the form or car

Waited across the sun-scorched des-
ert comes the news of a rich find in
the hills to the east of Walker lake,
New, some five miles from the railway
station known as Walkers siding. The
strike was made on the property for
merly owned by Harry Rowland and
associates, but which was recently
taken on $4,000 bond with $4,000 cash
payment by Tonopah capitalists.
The lodges, which are strong and
well defined, carry good values in gold,
silver and copper on the surface. The
find just made, according to reliable
reports, is free gold, going in values
about 81 a pound. Considerable ex-
citement has been created and appli-
cations for leases are pouring in on the
new company.

and Gregory was called from Nina to
the scene, where he is now laying the
property off in blocks at the insistent
demand of miners who are after leases.
1t is believed that the same ledge
cuts the property Of Gregory and as
sociates.
Shortly after the opening of the res
ervation the property was located by
Harry Howland and associates, but
owing to the stringency of the money
market but little was done outside OF
assessment work, but about three
weeks ago Tonopah people took the
property over and since then they have
had a good sized force pushing de-
velopment, which uncovered the find.

EASTERN CAPITALISTS TO
BUY NEEDLES SHELTER

A deal is reported by which inter-
ests in the Needles smelter will be
purchased before the end of this week
by eastern capitalists, who will effect
decided enlargements to the plant In
order to handle the growing output of
Southern Nevada camps, Southern
California and Northern and Central
Arizona.
Manager Godshall of the smelter
has been in New York for some time,
making the trip twice so far this
month. He was recalled to the Attain
tic coast the second time by an urgent
message, supposedly from those with
whom he is in negotiation for a con-
troll of the big plant. Godshall is one
of the biggest smelter men in the
country and an acknowledged author
ity.
by Pennsylvania capital and bought the
old plant of the Fletcher Smelter COM
pany, enlarging 1t to handle both lead
and copper ores, thus giving a decided
stimulus to the mining industry, A
second furnace was added a few
months ago. Not even the recent panic
hurt the Needles plant, it even improv-
ing it's processes and drawing much
of the trade that had been going to
the Humboldt smelter which concern
was wrecked by the financial furry.
The plant is not only the only one of
its kind in Southern California, but
the only one accessible to southern
Nevada nearer than Salt Lake or San
Francisco. 1t is, moreover, the only
one south of these points and west
of Ell Paso that treats both copper
and lead. The general opinion seems
to be, according to local mining men.
that the trust has cast friendly ewes
on the plant and is negotiating for
its acquisition.

lack sLOGLAND.

TACK LOGLAND, the Lucky
Swede," of Ladd Mountain, Reno,
- Rhyolite and Los Angeles, has be-
come suspicious Of the smelters and ore
purchasing companies, judging from
his recent shipment of ore, and has
conceived the idea that he can treat
his ore upon the ground. At any rate,
he is willing to experiment on a small
scale, and accordingly the first INSTALL
ment of the Logland cyanide reduction
plant has been erected and is now in
full commission.
The Logland cyanide reduction plant
consists of two whisky barrels, two
one-foot square zinc boxes properly
charged, and right there the equipment
ends. The screenings from the dump
are shoveled into the upper barrel,
which contains the regulation cyanide
solution, and after the solution passes
through the sands and through the
zinc boxes into the lower barrel the
same is returned to the upper barrel by
the means of a dipper, fashioned from
gasoline can and propelled by the
strong arm of Mr.. Jack.

tion has been poured and repoured from

BILL WILLIAMS MINES ARE
BOUGHT BY MITCHELL FOLK

In the Bill Williams country of Ari-
zona there has recently been made a
deal that will astonish the mining
world, as three of the largest copper
gold properties in that district have
lately been in part acquired by the
Mitchell interests.
The properties which have been con-
solidated into one are known as the
Signal Copper company and the Morrow
interests, of which w. H. Palmer OF
Wendendale owned three-eights in
terest which he lately disposed of for
considerable sum.
This interest was acquired through
the untiring efforts of T. ]. Carrigan,
who is rightly called the father of that
country, as he with his energy and
western grit has made out of mere
prospects three years ago mines that
in the very near future bid fair to take
rank with the best.

ROGERS SYNDICATE PAYS
ITS NINTH BIG DIVIDEND

The ninth dividend from the Rogers
syndicate lease at Goldfield has just
been paid. The amount distributed was
$40, 900, making a total of $175,000. This
leaves about $4,000 in the treasury and
the partners in the lease will have an
other crack at velvet later on when
the second class dump has been sorted
and shipped. d. d. Muir, superinten-
dent OF the Combination Fraction, has
secured a lease on the dump, which
contains about 1900 tons. Already he
has had applications for one or two
sub-leases, and 1t may be that this pile
of ore, like that on the Little Florence,
will be found to contain some secreted
high grade.
