ARE SURVEYING
A TOWNSHIP At
SALISBURY Wash
DAME RUMOR HAS 1T THAT
HIGH GRADE LEDGE HAS
BEEN FOUND.

For the past two weeks many ru-
mors have been afoat concerning the
mining district in the vicinity %
Salisbury Wash. Reports have been
received in Tonopah stating that a
surface ledge had been found con-
tanning values running up in the
thousands.
A large number of people from
this city have visited the d.s'r:ct
during the last week, but all re.
turned stating that they were unable
to visit the ledge as the owners Of
the property evinced no desire to ex-
plot their proptry. The entire dis
trict is practically owned by the
Nays and Cliffords, and over i"aO
claims have been recorded with the
district recorder.
Notwithstanding the conflicting
reports, it is understood that the
ledge really exists, and that prepara-
lions have been going on quietly for
some time past toward the develop
ment of the property. The discovery
was made by Mrs. Joe Nay.
While the authentic facts of the
district are hard to obtain, it is be-
lieved and has been stated by those
in a position to know, thar the dis
trict has several rich veins, but the
matter is kept from the publ & a. the
owners have no desire to cause a
rush. The territory has been To-
Gated for about six square miles, and
during the last few days surveyors
have been engaged in surveying a
townsite.
The latest authentic reports place
the quartz running as high as 800.

will be on inside of week
