STRIKE IN TOYABE RANGE
MAY START A STAMPEDE

A new gold camp of great promise is

west, and a real stampede is predicted
within the near future. Former Judge
j. z. Gallagher has just returned from
a ten-days trip to Wisconsin canyon,
the scene of the new strikes, and gives
the Round Mountain Nugget some de
tailed information.
Some time ago the Nugget published
the first account of a rich surface gold
strike which had been made over in the
Toyabe range by Henry Dressler, Fred
j. Jones ami associates. At that time,
Mr.. DRESSER who brought in the in

public in on the secret.
group of claims directly to the north Of
those owned by Mr.. Dressler. Frank
Smith is the owner of the property and
by surface trenching he has opened up
a two foot ledge for a distance of 600
feet which shows free gold and from
which, it is said, he made any number
of paintings which will go an estimated
value of $3.50 to 5000 per ton.
There is a well defined qaartzite
dyke running through the country. Run

about 1000 feet distant. The intervon.
ing country is granite but it is between
these two ing dykes that the gold has
been discovered and which the claims
owned by Dressler, Jones and Smith
cover.

There is no diminution in the inter
ost which the ~leasers on the Bluejackets
orc exciting, for each day of develop
nent goes more and more. to prove that
here perhaps lies the making OF the
biggest and richest mine yet found In
the district, says the Nugget.
There have been no startling devol-
opments during the past week hut the
work lon on all six of the leases has
been sufficient to urge the men who are
in sight of fame and fortune to work
with an energy which is only born of
the ultimate hope of success and sue
cess soon achieved.
The Morgan-Stofelt shaft is being
pouuded down at a great rate and is
now over thirty-five feet deep. Every
inch of it is in ore, the north and south
walls of the shaft being respectively
the hanging and foot walls of a ledge
more than four feet wide and which,
thus far, Is practically perpendicular,
what little dip there is being to the
lorth.
In the tale scam which lies plastered
on either wall are the high grade
values. The entire intervening four
feet is a milling ore running higher In
its gold content than any ore yet en-

sistently increasing In worth as, foot

eff we don't sink another foot, -
said Mr.. Morgan to a Nugget repre-
sentative, '.we have got enough ore IN
sight to keep us taking out ore for
nearly a year."
Enlarging Mill Capacity
The concrete foundations which will
support the new crusher at the Round
Mountain mill were started to be put
In last Wednesday. This erusher will
lie of 200 ton capacity which is much
more than the present plant can handle.
1t is expected that from 10 to 120 tons
will tie put through the mill when the
changes have been completed. At the
present time about 80 tons are being
reduced daily. During the month of
March the output from the mill
amounted to 100000 and as the ca
pacity is now being enlarged it is con
fdently expected that the dividends III
the near future will he materially in
creased.
Lawrence Morrin, who is working a
lease on the Mariposa claim on Steb-
bins hill made arrangements during a
trip to Goldfield for a 15-horse power
gasoline hoist and gallows frame which
he expects to have installed and ready
to operate by the first of May.
The shaft at present is too deep to
work economically with a windlass so
the intervening time will be spent in
screening the ore which has been al
ready taken out and in further pros
pecting the block along the surface.
Paintings made of the screenings run
heavily in gold. Mr.. Morrin expressed

is more than paying all operating and
developing expenses. Twenty'eight
men are now on the pay roll.

After a weary hunt of several
hours, the impromptu hunters To-
Gated the band half way up a noun
tain side. Parker insisted that the
auto was not capable of climbing
the mountain. but Watt ordered the
driver to take a chance anyway
The car, after a series of backing
and bucking spurts, finally tri-
umphed and reached the sheep.
The next object was to gather the
band together, and as both herders
strongly objected to walking, they
decided to do the herding with the
machine. Round and round the
mountain the party travelled to the
accompaniment of the slow chug-
chugs. The sheep were gradually
drawn together and along toward
dusk. the weary herders had the
bunch rounded up on the top of the
hill
And it was then that the men
started to think of what they would
do for supper. In the hurry of their
departure, no thought had been CIV

the boss of the party, finally decid-
ed to kill lamb. In the meantime
1t was necessary to keep the ma
chine going, as the sheep were de-
sirous of seeking lower elevation
where water could be secured. Par
ker continued to make the circuit
while Watt did the butchering act.
Then Parker cooked the carcass
while Watt drove the machine.

AN AUTOMOBILE
TAKES PLACE Of
SHEEP HERDERS
GEORGE WATT USES MACHINE
IN UNUSUAL TASK
GREAT EXPERIENCE

Automobiles have been used for
divers purposes since their advent
ON the market some years ago, but
it remained for George Watt, the
Austin cattle and sheep man, to de-
part from the ordinary some days
ago and turn his machine into a
sheep herder. While his buzz wag-
on is not gifted with the intelligence
of sheep dog. it served the purpose
for several days and saved Mr.. Watt
and his associates loss of several
thousand dollars.
The innovation happened while
Mr.. Watt was stopping at his ranch
near Austin. About a month ago
a lone sheep herder was sent out in
the hills with herd of $500 of the
future mutton chops. The herder
remained at his duty for about ten
days, or until becoming ILL., and then
managed to remain at his post for
a day, but at last realizing that he
was in need of physicians aid the
lone sentinel abandoned the sheep
and returned to Austin. His first
duty was to notify Watt that the
sheep were without watcher. The
owner made a hurried canvass OF the
town and there was not a sheep
herder to be found At last he de.
cided to take the job himself until
his associates could rustic relief.

To Mannington by Tuesday, April

Warrington Railroad Company. All
that is keeping the cars out OF Man.
nington now is the connection to be
made by. stringing the high tension
wire. This work mas been handicap
ped by the strong wind that has been
blowing for several days. 1t was i'm,
possible for the workmen to place the
wire. Had the elements not been
stirred, Saturday night would see the
completion Of the road.
The workmen that are stringing the
high tension wire started on the far
end of the road and are working to-
ward this city. They have the work
completed as far as Barnckville.
The sub-station at Pennington Is
about finished and will be ready to
take the juice whenever It is poured
into 1t.
The road has already been accepted
by many of the Lincoln and Pawpaw
district citizens as being the best way
to get to the county capital. Men and
women from. Falrview and vicinity
drive to Pennington. They leave their
teams there and take the trolley for
Fairmont They can make the trip a
great deal quicker and it does away
with a long and tedious drive over
muddy roads. More and more will the
people employ the line in this way.
When the line is completed many
people from Warrington and from
points beyond that town will find their
way here great deal more frequent
ly than mas been their custom.
The building of the road will mean
much to the community through which
1t passe. 1t will build up both Fair
mont and Warrington and all along
the line people will be benefited.

is heavier and stronger now, and is
of the opinion that ne will be able to
