GOLDFIELD MAN STARTS
WORK ON COLORADO GROUP

On last Monday evenings stage
George Winckler of Goldfeld n
Steve Banaan came into Wonder with a
KIT of mining tools, and purpose estab-
fishing a camp on the Colorado group of
claims, in which Mr.. Winckler is heav-
ilv interested, says the Wonder Mining
News. The ground will be very care
fully prospected, with a view to begin
ming permanent development work on
a large scale. MI. Winckler has not
Leen in Wonder since the early days OF
the camp, and his principal object N
coming here at this time is to look
over the property in which he has SO
largely interested. Ed Banaan, also one
of the leading stockholders of the prop
erty, is expected to arrive III a week or
so. and with Mr.. Winckler and his
brother will Systematically prospect
the ground. This property, while no
J developed to any great extent, having
been purchased from the original locat-
ors only a short time before the banks
went wrong, is rated by such engi
neers and mining men as have seen II
as one of the most promising pieces
of mining ground in the state. Tit
ledge is large, and very high ASSAYS
have been made from samples takeI
there.

strated by digging in on the north
side at the face of the tunnel-over 400

1t now SENS that the old drifting,
while considered very satisfactory, was
only on the hanging portion OF the

and lay closely parallel along the full

There is great rejoicing at Mob Hill

going far and wide. There are busy
times ahead for the Rich Hill and the

ACTIVITY MARKS PLACER
FIELDS AT MANHATTAN

Manhattan, July 27.-Another week
of activity marks the placer opera
tions along the main gulch. During
the week four new plants have been
started and machinery for two others
have been ordered. The underground
work has been confined in the main to
opening up and blocking out the ground
and the only gravel washed was that
taken out in the course of development
work, and in the majority of cases the
gold hui recovered pays the entire ex-
penses of development.
The discovery of a third channel on
the Fairview claim is of more import
ance thar at first considered as it prob
ably means the opening up of a new
gulch about three miles in length,
with the probable enrichment of the
lower end of the main gulch from this
source. Since the discovery of this
new channel there is a general opin-
ion prevailing among placer men that
pay values will be found clear out into
Smoky Valley and that there will be a
thousand or more acres there that will

BLAME BOOM NEWSPAPERS
FOR MISLEADING PUBLIC

{. 4. kunze, editor of the Owens Val
ley Herald, recently made a trip I,
~sodaville, New, where he talked witt
several old acquaintance who had JUS
returned from Glendale. In comment
ing on the result of his Investigations
Mr.. Kunze says:
People here generally have a point
ed criticism to make against the boom
newspapers. Such fascoes as Ellendal
are doing everything possible to dis
credit the press. The blame all AT.
taches to the newspapers which are re.
sponsible for the numerous disappoint
ments which hundreds of men expert
ence in stampeding to a new camp thai
does not warrant the general hegirs
which mushroom booms start. In the
foreground of these discredited news
papers stands the Touopah Sun, with
its unreliable editor, Mr.. Branson.
Other editors are blamed too, some be-
cause they were parties to various fake
booms, others because they had not the
courage to publish the truth in de-
fiance of the tinhorn critic who always
cries "~knocker' as soon as his grace
game is attacked.
I'm the Glendale bubble consider
able credit is due the Goldfeld News
and the Tonopah Miner for hewing
close to the truth without any inicky
regards as to where the chips few and
whom they hurt. After all it seems to
be a question whether it is better To
help grease the leads of irresponsible
fake mining boomers, to the detriment
of hundreds of poor devils who are cas-
lily misled to a mushroom boom camp,
to walk out again broke, and to the
general harm of the mining industry,
or by telling the truth in print incur
the enmity and stigma of the fake
boomers, and protecting the industry
and the credulous stampeders."

AND PARTY
INSPECT RAILWAY ROUTE

Tonopah, July 2s.-M. E. Bernhein,-
ar president of the Tonopah Extension
and the neutrality-suspicious. mines,
John Ryan and w. o. Alberger of the
Touopah & Tidewater railroad; Charles
Kirchen, general manager of the Tono-
pah Extension mine; Leonard Dessar,
the New York broker, and Malcolm
Macdonald started for Ely over the
route of the proposed Ely-Goldfeld
railroad. The trip will consume several
DAYS. From Ely Mr.. Bernheimer and
Mr.. Dessar will proceed to Butte,
Montana, Mr.. Macdonald probably ac-
e~ompanying the gentlemen to that
city. The others will return to Ton
opah.
Mr.. Bernheimer, who is n of the
moving spirits of the proposed new
road, is highly pleased with conditions
in this section. 1t is more than prob
tse that his report win be . very ss
gable one aud that ere lsag actual con.
~sruetion Of the road VIII begin.
On the way to Ely stops will be
made at Typo and Reveille, where
a thorough examination of the prop
critics at those camps which are con-
tfolled by the Nevada Smelling and
Mines corporation, of which Mr.,
ssa
sernheIiner is vice president and di.
rector, will be made. It is generally
conceded that there is enousa ore in
sight in these properties 10 assure the

In addition, it will be the means of
opening up a vast territory Of known
mineral wealth, but which at the pres.
ent time is incapable of being worked
at a profit because of the fact that
communications with the outside world
are not at hand.
Mr.. Dessar is an optimist of the first
water concerning this particular local
ity. He does not hesitate to say that
it is but in the making. In the country
to be traversed by the new road he
recognizes wonderful possibilities. He
is one of the leading men on the New
York exchange and a gentleman who
has the confidence of perhaps as large
a clientage as is enjoyed by any other
broker in the United States. This trip
has proven to him the stability of
Southern Nevada. He is one of the
best friends Nevada has in the east.
Because his opinions carry weight, it
is well that he is the friend of tn

the north cross-eut, which extenas
over 1000 feet north from the tunnel

from a vein which is believed to be the
North Star ledge, al Austin. At pres

taken up later when the facilities In
the north drive are better. One car OF
fine ore was broken down from this

j. A. McClurg of Denuver, was a Wis
itor here last week, remaining for A
number of days and inspecting all the
more thoroughly developed leaseholds
on the Coalition and Queen estates. He
was accompanied by W. A. Cary, an un'
de~rgraduate Of the Colorado School OF
Mines. Mr.. McClurg is a son-in-law of
David H. Moffatt, president OF the First
National Bank of Denver. The
primal object of his visit here
was to inspect the Lillian lease on Con-
solidated hill, in which he became inter
ested in the early days of the camp. A
few DAYS after the inspection was
made the lease was closed down. Mr.,
McClurg is well pleased with Rawhide
as a mining proposition, and believes
that many valuable mines will be de-
veloped within the area lying north Of
and including Hooligan and Balloon
hills. He was accompanied about the
camp by p. R. Whytock, g~eologist OF
the staff of the Coalition company.
