ELECTRIC w PLANT
FOR HAWTHORNE DISTRICT

Hawthorne, May 19.-An electric
power project has been financed by the
leading men of this camp and the syn
dieate has already purchased a chain
of lakes emptying into Lavining and
Rush creeks, near Mono Lake, Cali
fornia, thirty miles from Bowie. Work
of constructing a power plant will be
rushed.
Plans of engineers show that at the
site of the proposed power plant the
water will have a perpendicular drop
of LOO feet. Power will be supplied
to Aurora, Masonic, Lucky Boy, Haw-
thorne, and contiguous districts, the
original plant to have a capacity OF
$500 horse power. Bodie is 81 miles
from the new town of Lucky Boy.

brought about. Here is the identical
circumstance that led up to the Gold
field Consolidated. We all recognize
the advantage Of such a unification of
interests as compared with a long and
expensive suit at court. So far as / am
cognizant there is no reason why such
an arrangement cannot be completed.
1 know of no such an agreement exist
ing at the present time"
Will Favor Leasers.
Questioned with regard to the posi-
BILE effect of the changed ownership on
the operations of the Pioneer Leasing
and Milling company, he replied: "An
agreement, / might designate it as such,
exists between Mr.. Brown and the leas-
ing company whereby the latter may
rest assured that they will not be inter
fered with except in the most extreme
case, where the vital interests of the
mining company are at stake. These
leasers expended money and found the
ore that makes this ground valuable;
they have given labor and skill to make
it what it is. 1t has always been the
policy of Mr.. Brown to treat with con-
sideration ~leasers and men in like situa-
tions.'
H. l.. Stark of Goldfeld, George
Wingfeld's engineer, has been on the
ground this week with instructions to
report thoroughly on the geological con-
ditions of the territory included in the
Conservative and Pioneer ground.
Thursday was spent in underground, in
the shaft of the Pioneer lease. Fifteen
samples were gathered by the party in
charge of Mr.. Stark. This report is
awaited with interest, as it will be per
haps the fullest of the late reports on
tits ground. The primary purpose Of
Mr.. Stark's investigation is to furnish
C. s. Thomas with the data on which
to base his future directions as regards
the rights of his clients.

ISH SAYS SYLVANITE
Is NOT MAKING GOOD

Milton c. Ish, the well-known Gold
field operator, who has been in Sylvan
lite, New Mexico, for several months,
has returned to Goldfeld and will re-
main for some time to look after min
ing interests here and at Rawhide. Mr..
Ish says hat Sylvanite is not meeting
the expectations of the early days OF
the camp, and the district is now almost
deserted, only about fifty people being
there at the present time.
"There are several good properties
there said he, "but most of them are
tied up in such a way that it will take
more or less litigation to get things
Strengthened out. In the early days of
the camp, parties took a bond and lease
on a number of the best properties, put
them into stock companies, and then
fell down on the final payments. The
properties are now tied up, and it puts
the camp in bad shape"
In speaking of the recent excitement
at Salome, Ariz., Mr.. Ish says that 1t
was about the worst "fall down. he
ever saw There were a few very rich
stringers found, but they did not
amount to anything iii quantity. A GER
tain railroad is supposed to have start
ed the boom.
Mr.. Ish is going over to Rawhide
soon to inspect his properties in the
Regent district. He expects to put in
the summer in the vicinity of Bishop
and Owens lake, and will do consider
able prospecting in that region.

vlsed by William Il. Wixon, superin
tendent of the Federal property, tina
orders have just reached him to imme
diately resume operations at the com
pany's 200-foot shaft and to extend
same to a depth of at least 500 feet.
Few realize the fact hat the Federal
assure extends 200 feet in width, and
the recent limited developments have
been productive of most satisfactory
results. The company is exceedingly
sanguine of ultimate success, and speak
confidently of the Federal assure short.
ly becoming one of the best producers
in this section.
Mr.. Wixon further stated that the
Tonopah Northern and Tonopah Ram
bier companies of south Manhattan are
arranging to handle their interests on
an up-to-date basis, and preliminary
work with that object in view has al
ready commenced.
Will Halt Claim Jumpers.
During the past few weeks there have
been a number of placer properties in
the gulch relocated. In some ms ices
it was a case of plain "claim Jumping, y
apparently with the object in view to
extort money from parties with deal
pending, or to tie up properties until
such money was paid over. Such .
practice has, in many cases, retarded q
camps progress, and realizing that if it
continues in Manhattan, it will do the
camp great harm, the citizens have or
ganized a committee to look into the
matter and to take such steps as it may
see fit to end the Jumping
At a mass meeting of the citizens,
held at Athletic hall Friday night, what
is to be known as the Citizens commit
tee was organized, with George Marin
son as president and Frank +. Garside,
secretary. Short addresses were made
by different mine operators and bust
ness men of the camp. On motion made
by C. f. Mayne, a committee of three
was appointed, which, in turn, will Sc
lect committee of twelve citizens, whose
duty it will be to hear and investigate
complaints made and to investigate and
inquire into the facts and merits of
such complaints and to take such steps
as in their judgment may be necessary
to induce Jumpers to desist from inter
fering with rightful legal titles, and to
protect property owners.
The committee of three appointed by
the chairman consists of Charles Hum
phrey, c.. f.. Mayne, w. M. Wealth.
Rich Ledge on Broncho.
One of the best quartz strikes report
ed in Manhattan for some time was
made last Wednesday on the lease ope-
rated by Thomas Irvine, on the Bron-
cho. A ledge five feet wide was struck
at a depth of six feet, and an assay
made from rock taken clear across its
width gave a return of $l6S.95 per ton
in gold. The rock shows flake gold IN
quantity, and from a pocket encounter
ed $50 pounds of ore extracted that
was worth So per pound. j.. IL. Harrell
and G. w. Davies are negotiating with
Irvine to take over the lease.

MANHATTAN PLACERS GET
RICHER WITH DEVELOPMENT

Manhattan is proving itself greater
and richer every day, according to
j. III. Harrell, who came into Goldfeld
today en- route from the placer camp
to Los Angeles. "'There seems to be nc
limit to the values that will be found, u
said he. "a week or so ago the Memo
Extension held the palm for richness

$50 a yard. But now it's the Happy
Charlie just below Tom Lockhart's
ground, that has the center of the stage
They got down to bedrock there a few
days ago, and are getting gravel tAa,
runs $50 a yard. No N will now at
tempt to place a limit on what may be
found along the gslch.
"Quite a number of leases are get
ting their hoists and other machinery
in place for extensive work. We have
n plant in operation at Central, and
another on the way from Tonopah. The
Shoemaker, Oliver, Big Six and other
leases are getting equipped, and there
will soon be hoists up on half of the
leases along the gulch.
"Good values have been proven for a
distance of at least seven miles, and
they continue as far as the gulch has
been prospected. On the Bulldog lease,
seven miles below Manhattan, bedrock
has just been reached at 80 feet, and
values up to 81 and S. a yard were
found in the shaft.
"This placer excitement has GER
tainly started things going again in
the quartz claims, and sensational
strikes are being made where people
have been running over it for years. A
few days ago a ledge was opened on
the Broncho group that shows free gold
almost across the width of the vein
and the average assay value of five
feet of quartz was better than 5000 a
ton. A shaft had been sunk 200 feet
within 80 feet of this vein, drifts and
crosscuts driven, but none of the work
was done in the direction of this lode.
The rich values begin almost at sur
face, and it looks like a mighty big
strike.'
Tom d. Murphy returned from Man
haitian today with a pocketful of mug
gets as big as marbles that he got from
the lease in which he is interested with
other Goldfield men who bought out the
original placer holding of ''Drywash'
Wilson. Mr.. Murphy says that the
gulch beats anything he ever saw in MS
life. The gravel on their lease is aver
afing about ST. a yard, and they have
plenty of it to make a big stake. Prac-
tically everything along the gulch is
now controlled by Goldfeld men.
It's something bigger, richer, every
day down the gulch, says the Mail. All
the way down, where a few short months
ago all was quiet and apparently sleep
ing, is today one of the liveliest and
busiest spots in the state. The gulch
might be likened to a great bargain
counter, where the goods handed out
are in the shape of golden nuggets of
every size. 1t is gold, gold, everywhere

and will have to undergo extensive re-

and a new wheel has been ordered.
Plamenax Lease Robbed.
Last Sunday night the trap door on
the Plamenaz lease on Union 8 was
broken open and the mine entered and
some 300 pounds of high grade ore taken
from the lower level. Last week Mr..
Plamenaz placed AZ sacks of high grade
in the vaults of the Nye and Ormsby
County Bank, and he unit himself
| very fortunate for having done so,
otherwise he fears his loss would have
been much heavier. When high grade
was first struck in this lease an armed
guard was placed on the property, but
after the deposit in the bank of the high
grade it was thought to be a sufficient
caution to simply lock up the mine at
night. But it appears that high grade
is safe at no time or under no circum-
stances, except as it may have been
placed in vaults. The thieves broke
down a considerable portion of the
amount they carried away. Mr.. Plam-
enaz, in operating, would take out the
lower grade ore, leaving the high grade
stand until there was from one to
three feet exposed, when this high grade
ore would be broken down on a blanket
and all sacked. Mr.. Plamenaz states
that he will keep a guard all the time
from now on at the mine.
Quartz Mines Resume.
The great quartz mining interests of
south Manhattan have again resumed
active operations. There is no doubt
that the recent rich discoveries in Man
haitian nave been productive of this
good result. They also demonstrated
the sound geological fact that this en-
tire section is the same as Goldfield and
Tonopah, viz: that development must be
carried to a depth of at least 400 feet
before the rich high grade deposits can
be reached.
For the past twelve months the min
ing interests of south Manhattan have
labored under the same distressing
monied ~stringencies which, for a time,
so seriously effected the entire state;
but now that the purse-strings have
loosened the welcome sound of hammer
and drill resounds throughout this most
promising district. We have been adj
