Two other companies are operating

plated and laid out in the central
portion of the district, by the Golden
Arrow Townsite company, of which l..
l.. Gilman is president and DIR. Elftmau,
secretary and treasurer. Quite a group
Of houses and tents dot the TOWNSHIP,
and several more are said to be on the

The first discovery at Golden Arrow
was made in February, 1905, several
months before Silver Bow, its near
neighbor, began to enjoy it's first boom
in June and July, 1905. The earliest
location was the Coyote claim on the
west slope of Confidence mountain, alt
joining the Cotter properties on the
north. The Page ledge, one of the
best defined and most persistent in the
district. was discovered in july by the
Page brothers of Typo, and assays from
800 to $500 a ton caused a small rush
from Silver Bow, Kawich and Cactus
Springs. The first district recorder
elected was Mrs. +. A. Page. A few
years ago Jack Longstreet's cattle
roamed on the open desert where the
camp now stands, but in their place
are now prospect holes and mines.
Kawich Consolidated Company.
The Kawicb Consolidated Mining
company, which owns 26 claims in the
district, has nearly 5000 feet of the
Page ledge crossing its ground. Fifteen
hundred feet on it's Denver claim Is
practically proven up by a number OF
open cuts and pits, showing it contin'
uous and strong throughout this dis
lance, in addition to practically a mile
adjoining. The principal work on thu
Kawich company acreage has beer
done on the Mascot group on the south
west slope of Dead Horse butte.
The Mascot ledge has been proven fol
1900 feet, or the full length of Tho
claim, by five pits. The main working
shaft on the property is now down q
feet and will soon be equipped with {
o5.h. d. Western hoist. and will be SUM
to $50 feet before any drifting is done
The machinery has been purchased, ant

supposed to be the west extension o
the Pocahontas vein, which is beini
developed by Bluett and Watson, hal
owners with l.. l.. Patrick of Goldfiel'
and James Foreman of Tonopah. TIT
ore BODY is FIVE feet wide, assaying III
to $50 a ton, with a general average Of
better thar $40.
At least a dozen different lodges arr
known on the Kawich ground, all o
them well defined and carrying goo'
values as far as prospected. The Ala
vein parallels the Mascot about 200 fee
to the north, and will be developed by
crosscut from the Mascot shaft. Tn
