4 regard to Georges canyon. Mr..
stimler, who by the way, is a very
conservative mining man. prefaced
J NJ remarks with a few words con-
,oyuing Glendale. His interview
follows.
Glendale on account of the mary
.,ops richness and extent of the ore
bodies. the recent strike at his camp
d the most sensational that has ever
heen made in southern Nevada. The
clifford and Nay families, who are
Inc original discoveries and owners
of this mamoth strike, have been
besieged by capitalists to sell their
property or incorporate, which Of
fers they have st~eadfastly refused.
They are now sacking ore which
rms into thousands of dollars per
ron. some of the rock being two
thirds pure gold. Watchmen are
employed to guard this treasure
night and day, and to sum the mat
tor M briefly, It is without doubt
the richest surface specimen ore that
has been discovered in the history
Of mining.
Our company owns two groups of
claims in Glendale. called respect
lively the "Tiger" and the "Bernice''
groups. The Tiger" group consists
Of eight compact claims. joining the
Clifford group on the southwest
known locally as the Clifford South
Extension" This group has been
sought by nearly all mining men
looking for ground as the choicest
property in the district, aside from
the main strike. The original To-
Gator and owner, John Nay, one OF
the Nav brothers, is my brother-in'
law. and through him ! secured the
property for the Georges Canyon
Mines company. On the surface o
the Tiger claims in the trend o.
the main Clifford vein system, ma!
be seen huge lodges of quartz out
cropping for great distances ant
carrying milling values in gold an
silver at various places-the indi
cation and forerunner OF commercial
ore bodies. We have secured tn,
opinions OF several Of the best en-
gineers who have visited the dis
trict, and they all unite in sayinI
hat this is the same vein fror
which the Cliffords are sacklng thei
marvelously rich ore, and that Their
