made.
I'VE are not going crazy over this thing

Mr.. johnson. II don't know much about
mines, and all I can tell about is what !

worth Of gold in sight and the experts say
that all indications are we have a real
mine. we have distinct indications Of n

The omaha company own outright five
claims Of twenty acres each, or 100 acres,
and has a large force sinking a shaft, and
the mine Is said to have every indication Of
being a winner. At any rate, the mining
experts in that section seem to think that
way and big offers rave been made to the
Omaha men for their stock. but all refuse
TO sell.
The company has made fourteen leases
to experts. who viii sink shafts on the
claims and give the company one-half of
the gold they mine. The town is building

Fourteen Leases Made.
According TO the conditions precedent in
arranging with the Nevads-omaha Mining
and Milling company, owners of the rich
strike in this camp, for leases, fourteen
leasers Saturday began fulfilling the sub
sequent co~nditions-those who have $50
foot blocks must put In twenty-five shifts
per month and those having 600-foot blocks
fifty shifts per month In consequence all
day Is heard the boom OF the blast, which,
added to the hammer of the carpenters at
work on the buildings in the town at the
foot Of Treasure Hill has awakened the
echoes clear across the twelve-mile flat, to
the surrounding hills, and given notice to
the world that Nevada's gold production
will be vastly increased the next twelve
months, as well as it's population of hust-
ling workers.
In the preliminary work on the part OF
these leasers there has not been one who
has not found good and valuable p~anning
values, which either demonstrated he is
on the strike Of the big find or has found
cross or parallel lodges OF value.
The holding company il aiding very ma
terially to the ultimate end 1t has ar
ranged for a telephone line connection, has
organized a water and light company,
planned for a mill of ample proportions to
meet ali demands, IL constructing an assay
office, and some of the stockholders are
aiding in the construction Of a twO-story
hotel. The two and a half years time on
the leases shows a liberality seldom met
with and the royalties are also highly sat
isfactory to the lessees, ranging from 10
to 80 per cent, the latter on ores returning
$1,000 gold to the ton.
AS to their GLORY hole there is no
diminution in width Of high grade streak
nor depth of the ore body in fact, yester-
day developed free gold on either side Of
the wonderfully rich streak.
List of the Leasers.
Here is a list Of the leasers. with the
block Of ground allotted to them:
Block Omaha Mining and Leas-
ing company, 2OOx9OO feet of the Limelite
claim south of block 2 and nearly half Of
Valley View No. 1, and 150x3OO feet in the
northeast corner of the south half of the
valley View. This ground has produced
some very rich paintings and assays. some
going as high as 500 and a contract for a
tunnel 600 feet long is now under way.
Block &c. II. Mayer Of Rockford, Ill,
and Frank L. Reber of Gold Circle, 2OOx30O
feet on the Limelite adjoining the holding
company's block to the southeasterly and
from which the rich ore is being taken to-
day. The Mayer shaft is down more than
twenty feet-and a cross ledge, very strong,
has been uncovered. This Is a good quartz
~panning we'll and free gold can be discov-
cred under the glass.
Block 3-Alec Walker, the discoverer OF
the Valley View group and the Limeiite,
25Ox9O0 feet adjoining the company block TO
the northwesterly. Close to the main strike
free gold specimens have been unearthed
and the other holes produce some rich
paintings.

Purcell of Reno and others have organized
the Bannock Mining and Leasing company
on these two blocks. No, 4 is 25Ox30o feet
and Joins block 8 to the northwesterly
There is no doubt today but that they are
on the strike OF the main ledge and in adj
dition have a parallel ledge and two cross
lodges. all of which pan rich gold. Fur
thermore, there is every evidence that they
have a i~uncture OF two OF the lodges and
at this point a shaft will be unk Yester-
