$4,000 A DAY
DUG FROM
ONE SHAFT

Hal Lennon returned from Haw
thorne this morning. He gave The
Appeal the following statement about
the boom on there now.
Shipping ore at the rate of $4,000
per day from mine whiCn the min
ing world was ignorant month ago,
Is the record production being set by
Hawthorne district. This is from the
Lucky Boy property belonging to
Adams and Miller, well known in
this city.
The claim is located about six
miles from Hawthorne. by wagon
road and about three miles by air
line on the old Bodie grade. Over
year ago couple of prospectors
discovered narrow seam of good sii-
yer and lead ore crossing the road.
They put shaft down a few feet I'M

the present owners gave them S15..

vcloped It further and accepted $40.

did considerable work but failed TO
come through with the rest of their
payments and Adams and Miller got

people who had failed to purchase.
The lease runs to July.

ed out of single shaft and trans
ported twelve miles by teams to
Thorne. Absolutely no sorting is
done and the smeltcr returns aver
age 10000 for every day. OF this
sum Adams and Miller receive $500
per day In royalties. Ninety men are
working m the lease at the present
time rushing work that yill Increase
productive possibilities. when ship
ments will be doubled. Other leases
on adjoining claims, some OF which
run for as long a period as two years
and are working men as thick as pos
sihlc to get in shape for shipping.
Among these is former State Senator
r, t.. Oddie. who has some of the
most promising property.
Hawthorne itself is undoubtedly
destined to be the distributing center
tor n great district, nut at the pres
Cnt time. real estate excitemnt is
principally ccntcred on a new town
which is being built at the mine and
which will be called Lucky Boy.
Adams and Miller have already sold
lots to the extent of $4,000. George
Ashby. Of this city purchased some
at s25 each and yesterday refused
$iOo for one of them.
HAWTHORNE A CONFER
Hawthorne will be far from a one
mine district and the present town
viii likely be the real city of that
section. Automobiles and stages are
conveying passengers in large num-
bcrs from Thorne. the railroad sta
tion, to hawthorne, but the rush can
hardly be said to have begun. for a
rush there win certainly be. and
without disparaging any of tn other
many camps of Nevada which have
attracted wide attention, il can be
said that none of them at the time
of their greatest excitement had one
fourth the attraction this can offer.
Thoy are not prospecting in Haw-
thornc-they are mining. OF course
the stock peddler is bound to come
along later, but he is not there yet.
Less sensational to be sure. than

TOO GOOD TO SELL
With others of perhaps but little
less merit, but which have not been
so well developed. Is the Qualey

teen miles away. Possibly barring
