Of rich gold ore is the new camp of
Yellowstone, situated about thirty
miles south of Winnemucca. For some
time prospectors have been quietly at

and now a number of them are exhibit
ing ore that is ~fabulously rich in gold.
In fact, so rich is the rock with the
yellow metal that many pieces shown
are thoroughly i~mpregnated and covered
with large patches of gold. One piece
broken by a representative of the Hum
boldt Star, shows a leaf of gold over an
inch long, together with nuggets as big
as a all through the sample. As the
gold is of a bright yellow color the
sample is a most beautiful specimen.

taking out ore of this character and a

that weighed forty pounds that might
be classed as a nugget SO rich was 1t

BISHOP PEOPLE ENGAGE
IN RUSH TO OIL FIELDS

BISHOP, Cal, Sept. l4.-Almost a
score of Bishop people have become
owners of oil land in Mono county. Law
renee Bodle, with j. Fl. Wilson return
ing from the Mono lake country this
week, brought down specimens of cruee
oil, oil shale and oil sand, and besides
"a locations of claims, which they made
up there, partly for themselves, and
partly for others in this town. In all
1880 acres were located for oil, the site
being in the Bridgeport and Bodie can
IONS about five miles northwest of Mono
lake.
Among these who have secured loca-
tions in this new oil section are l.. c.
Hall, W. P. Yaney, Louis Munzinger,

Fleet.
Bodie was in Mono county several
weeks ago and while returning from
Bodie found where the crude oil oozed
out of a creviee in the rocks. The stuff
had hardened, but was the pure quil,
"a parafine base seepage, such as is
found in that region by the Sierra Oil
company, which is drilling a well near
the lake. Oil shale was found in the
walls of the canyon, and every indica-
ton pointed to the presence of a great
body of oil, which had so much force
underneath it that the seepage reached
the surface through the rock c~revice.
The owners of this land hope to or
