TO COMPLETE HOTEL NEVADA

William Easton is state senator OF
Lander county and Patrick Walsh IS
one of the wealthiest cattle kings Of
Nevada. Both are confident that Gold
field will be the premier mining camp
Of the world for years to come and for
that reason have determined to com
plete the hotel.
Work on the Nevada hotel was sus-
pended in the spring of 1907, since
which time it has been condemned BIZ
every grand jury. Peer and Hopkins,
who organized the Nevada Hotel COM
pany, and who for the past few months
have been endeavoring to have east
crn capital become interested in the
completion of the building, lost the ma
iority of the ownership by litigation.
The building, when complete, will be
valued at about $s5,000, including the
lot, which is worth about $4,000. The
building will be faced with brick and
ornamented with iron cornice and win
dow caps.

FAMOUS LEASE ON DAISY
AGAIN GETS INTO ORE

Connections have been made with
the old working of the famous Detch-
Brewer lease on the Daisy by means of
the raise that was started some time
ago from the $50 level of the main lease
shaft by the Goldfeld Daisy Mining
and Leasing company. This will give
good ventilation for these workings,
and the extraction of ore will be ear
ried forward energetically. About Is
inches of good shipping ore was EN-
countered in the raise that was put up
to connect with the old Wine from
the upper workings. A drift will be
driven to catch it on the rake to the
west, and it seems certain that it will
open into a very important body 4
ore, as the continuation of the old
shoot which was a prolific producer.
There is also a good showing in the
drift on a feeder encountered On the
$50 level near where the raise was
started up, and this will be thoroughly
prospected in the expectation Of 4
leading to a heretofore unknown en-
r.ehment.

Many wealthy New York men are

tives that led him to come into the
syndicate.

From Ely comes the statement that
mining and railway circles were late
last week given a genuine thrill
throughout the Ely district as a result
of the arrival here of District Superin-
tcndent Manson of the Southern Pacific

with several other officials of the read.
Because of the visit here of these promi-
Eent figures in the railroad world of the
West, speculation is rife as to the prob
abilities of the construction of a pr,-
posed line from Salt Lake through this
section of. the country and on to the
west to Goldfeld and Tonopah.

Announcement has been made by Mr..
ana Mrs. Thomas G. Lockhart, of the
engagement of their only daughter,
Myra Lockhart to Lieutenant George
G. Rockwell, of the United States army,
in the division stationed at Fort Logan,
near Denver.
The engagement has been known for
some weeks by the intimate friends of
the Lockhart family, and Tuesday of
last week permission was asked by the
News to publish the announcement Of
the engagement, but at that time Mrs.
Loekhart stated she did not wish the
engagement to become public knowl-
edge until she could announce it for
mally herself, and her wishes were re-
spected.
Lieutenant Rockwell in speaking OF
the nuptials states that it is the wish
of the couple to be welded in June, as
his regiment is under orders to proceed
to the Philippines in September, and
he wants his bride to accompany him.
He has been visiting his father in Cal
i~fornia, having been granted leave
OF absence since February IL. He ar
rived in Goldfeld last Tuesday, and
left this morning for Fort Logan to re
join his regiment.

Work will be resumed on the Nevada
hotel, at Hall and Columbia streets,
about April /, according to the prin-
cipal owners of the property, William
Easton ard Patrick Walsh, who were
in Goldfeld Sunday attending to bust
ness in connection with the labor nee
essary for the completion of the build
ing.
Messrs. Easton and Walsh are fully
capable of doing all they say in regard
to the completion of the building, and
j. is probable that if their hopes are
realized and the work is carried for
ward as speedily as they wish to see i,
the hotel will be opened to the public
by May l.
Senator Easton said yesterday that
by April l he expects to have a large
force of men working on the building,
and that it will be made into first-class,
modern hotel. There will be one hun

That the Indian Springs oil fields arc
destined to become one of the great in
dustrial resources of Nevada is, in the
opinion of M. F. Nudge, geologist ami
oil expert, a foregone conclusion, based
upon an extended examination and sur
vey of the district, which he has just
completed for the Pioneer Oil company.
Mr.. Nudge he's had wide experience
in the oil fields of West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Texas an |
elsewhere, and he unhesitatingly de-
clares that the Indian Springs field
gives unusually strong surface indica-
tions for oil, the formation being ex-
actly right therefor, including fossils,
shales, asphaltum, oil sands, and other
geological features which are dndis-
putable evidences of an oil basin under
meath.
1.-the oil is certainly there said
Mr.. Nudge today, "and drilling will
demonstrate that fact beyond all ques.
tion. i anticipate that it may take
from 1000 to 1900 feet to tap the main
body, but if there is oil anywhere, there
will be plenty of it found at Indian
Springs. / have examined most of the

GREAT ORE IN NEW CAMP
SEVEN MILES FROM LODI

\ new mining district of great prom
Use is being opened about seven miles
north of the town of Bob, near the line
dividing Nye and Churchill counties.
All reports from there indicate that It
is a section of strong liberalization,
and gives evidence Of becoming one Of
the most important of the new dis
trlcts that are now attracting public
attention.
W. E. Pierson has just returned t.
Goldfield after a visit of several days
to the new camp, and is very enthus-
iasic over the outlook.

ducer. The values are almost entirely
gold, and it is free and easily treated.

summer by a prospector named J.

LOCKHART-ROCKWELL
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED

Lockhart became acquainted during
the visit of Miss Lockhart anil
her mother in Denver, some months
ago, when they were guests at a tea
party following a dress rehearsal of the
regiment at Fort Logan.
Lieutenant Rockwell belongs to an
old Connecticut family, part of which
moved years ago to Kansas, locating
near Junction City. He left Columbia
university to enlist as a volunteer in
the Third United States cavalry, then
ready for service in the Spanish Amer
lean war. By the efforts of former
President William Mckinley he was
placed in the position Of second lea
tenant in the Fifteenth United States
infantry, then bound for the Philip.

position of first lieutenant. He has
served three years in the Philippines,
two years in Alaska, a year in New
York, one at Fort ~Leavenworth, and
two years at the Preside, San Fran
cisco. He is 20 years of age, and of
erect, military bearing.
Miss Myra Lockhart is one of the
best known of Goldfeld' s younger set.
She began her college education at
Mills hall, Berkeley, Cal, and com
pleted it about eighteen months ago az
