GREAT SALISBURY WASH
THE NEW DISTRICT HAS SENSATIONAL SHOWINGS
Ledge Averaging from Six to Eight Feet in
Width Gives Assays Of $3l,4OO to the Ton

the assayers showing values from So
to $4,000 that were received from this
lode. Paintings also were shown me
that went from 5000 to $500 to the
ton. The lode is of a formation SIM
liar to what l have seen in Tonopah,
Virginia City and several other places
in this state. That is, earlier ande-
site. or lode porphyry and is highly
silicified.
Il did not have the pleasure of
visiting the original strike, but from
appearances the entire vein should
prove to be of an equal richness. I
understand that to the west of the
district there are number of paral-
lei veins. but did not have a chance
to inspect this section.
Last Sunday Superintendent ].
w. Chandler of the MacNamara prop
erty journeyed to Sugarloaf with me
and confirmed my ideas as to the for
nation In following the lode we
travelled in course that resembles
a sickle.
THE possibilities in this section
are enormous and one does not even
have to visit there to appreciate
them. To my mind it will prove to
be second Comstock and should the
development prove that the veins ex-
tend to great depth, the camp WIN
eclipse all others in Nevada"
The Cliffords, who practically con-
troll the district, are pioneers of Ne
vada and have been engaged in this
industry for years. The Boys and
the sisters, Mrs. Joe Nay and Mrs. H
H. Warburton of Tonopah, have been
reared in Nye county, residing mum.
Der of years ago in Belmont, after
wards moving to Stone Cabin. AS the
old saying goes-their word is as
good as their bond-and they have
always worked for the betterment OF
this county. Several months ago
when the county treasury was de-
pleted owing to the funds being tied
up in the Nye and Ormsby County
bank, Ed Clifford, Sir, offered to ad-
vance any amount for the mainten-
ance of the county affairs with prac-
.tically no interest. He is a specimen
of the hardy pioneer who emigrated
to Nevada in the early days.
w. B. Sollender, who arrived yes.
terday from Bishop, stated last
evening that he had a twelve mule
Team enroute which he would place
|on the, road hauling freight as soon
as it arrived. He will open a, restaur-
ant and furniture store in Ellensdale
as soon as the town lots are placed
on sale and will also move his large
stable now standing on California
Heights ground to the new camp
Mr.. Sollender is but one of the many
business men of this city, who will
open branch stores at the new town
and inside of several weeks it is pre-.
dicted that the place will be able to
boast of dozens of business houses.

Showings are Sufficient to Predict that
it Will be the Greatest Mining Dis
trict in Southern Nevada. .#

Thirty miles east of Tonopah and
about four and one-half miles south
east of Salisbury Wash, is the scene
of the latest mining excitement in
southern Nevada, and from the re-
ports received from those interested
in the property it will prove to be
the biggest thing ever found in all
Nevada.
Rumors of all kinds have been
flying around the southern country
for the last three weeks concerning
the magnitude of the strike, but a
statement from the owners is to the
effect that the ledge is between six
and eight feet in width.
The ground was first located the
latter part of March by Mrs. Joe Nay,
who recorded the claims in her own
name, her mother, Mrs. Ed Clifford,
Sr., and her brother, Ed Clifford, Jr
Shortly after that while out with her
husband prospecting she discovered
a piece of float and on the following
day in company with Ed and John
Clifford, they returned to where the
float had been found and after a
short search discovered the ledge
Eight claims were then recorded and
these form the original group. Ad-
joining this Jim Clifford has secured
a number of choice locations. In all
about 1000 claims have been taken
up in the district, which comprises
all area six miles square. Besides
the main ledge, numerous other veins
intersect the country and all have ex-
cellent values.
Several assays have been taken OF
the main ledge, and one last week
gave the startling returns of $31, ,400
to the ton, the values being in free
milling gold. Specimens displayed
around this city show the ore to be
the pure quill. OF the many people
of Tonopah who have visited the
scene none were allowed the privilege

In all there are about 100 men in
the district, many of them develop
| ing their properties and few wait
ing to secure leases. The only busi-
ness house is a saloon operated by
Goldfield people.
The values are not confined to the
quartz ledges for in the wash, placer
gold has been found and nearly all
this territory has been staked out.
The water for the camp has to be
secured from Salisbury, and it would
be well for those who contemplate
visiting the strike to carry sufficient
supply or go thirsty for their negli-
gence.
Joe Nay, who spent several days in
! Tonopah during the early part of the
week, expressed great reticence
when approached and asked about
the discovery, but confirmed the re-
port by stating that when the proper
| time came, the ledge would be shown
to the world He explained the rea-
sens for keeping the find quiet, was
the desire to avoid any future law
suits, that in spite of all precautions
will spring up in a mining camp
With this in view the owners have
had the claims surveyed and also the
townsite plats laid out.
The entire district is crossed with
ledges," said Tonopah gentleman
who was one of the first to visit the
vicinity Of the find. Many Of which

veins can be traced from Sugarlpai

| Judge M. r. Averill, who was or

were received in Tonopah, stated last
night that the district should prove
to be the richest yet encountered il
this section.

was taken out after the first inning.
The Spokane team played without
an error, the first time in many
days, and fielded well. The Colts
made them work for about every
thing they got. One of Spokane's
scores came in the first inning on
Stations error. Station backed out
of Aftman's way and let him land
safely at third bag, then Altman
scored on Drinkers grounder.
Ostdiek registered the second
score for Spokane in the fifth in
