Eurekan Visits National

National Miner: b. p. Campbell,
metallurgist for the Windfall mine of
Eureka. Nevada. was in camp for a few
days during she week. He was here
on professional business and hence was
loath to say anything other than that
his observations-and he went through
it-of the great National mine made
that n Of the most wonderful proper
ties of record. He would go on record
that much. His other examinations
are for his employers and not for public
exploitation at present. Mr.. Campbell
at the same time was enthusiastic over
the fine showings of Eureka camp, pro.
nouncing it irrespective of its history
Of millions of production. as n of
great future and that through new
methods it would pour more wealth
into the lap of society than what its
record heretofore showed. Their big
handicap now is the railroad connection
and he hoped this will be overcome soon.

White Pine Sheepmen Complain

There is not enough feed IN the
Winter ranges in White Pine County
to feed the sheep that have been driven
into that county for this Winter. and
the sheep men fear that a famine will
result and that they will lose much
stock. There has been no snowfall
and therefore there is little water on
the ranges which also makes it bad for
the stock men. Another thing that
they are complaining about is that the
Utah sheep men are driving their focks
into Nevada, thus depriving the Ne
vada n of much range.

RICH STRIKE REPORTED
IN EUREKA COUNTY
New Discovery Is Said to Be
Located About Five Miles
East of Buckhorn

Carlin Commonwealth: The latest
camp to attract attention is Qoartz, in
the Buckhorn mining district. The
new discovery is located about five
miles east of Buckhorn at the head Of
Brock Canyon, and il reports are true it
will prove to be one of the best made in
Nevada this year.
The discovery was made about six
weeks ago by Messrs Bates and Guth-
erie, who were prospecting for Charles
Hickey Of Elko. Nine claims were To-
Gated and are known as the Salt Lake
Group. The lodges run north and
south and the gold is found in the shale
and white quartz. A few hundred feet
west OF the strike are large granite
groupings and to the east are porphyry
dikes. and for several hundred feet be-
tween the granite and porphyry good
paintings can be had. and along the
lodges for over 5000 feet the d~iscoverers
got good paintings. The original dis.
covery vas made on a 50-foot ledge of
the Salt Lake group owned by Hickey,
Bates and Guthrie, aud they are sink
ing an incline shelf in the center of the
ledge. Assays taken from this shaft at
three feet depth went $14 to the tor. and
at six feet the assays showed an aver
age value of $40 80. Free gold can be
seen at the bottom Of their 12.foot shaft.
The gold is nearly pure, as a test Of it
vent $50. 60 to the ounce. The rock is
so per cent silica, which will make the
ore free milling. Those familiar with
Buckhorn think the n,w strike is far
richer than the original one at that
place. Already q townsite company
has been organized by Messrs Stratton.
Keller and Ferguson. The first lots
sold for $40 each, several sold for 500
and now it takes $50 to get one.
The County Commissioners of Eureka
County have just completed a new road
from Blackburn to Bnckhorn which
shortens the distance six miles and the
new discovery, Quartz camp. is just two
and a half miles from the new road and
will soon have a road to connect
Quartz is just 80 miles southwest of
CarIin, and our business men should
make an effort to have Carlin the base
of supplies for the camp.
The strike has been kept very quiet
and not many claims taken. Carlin and
Elko parties secured four claims adjoin-
ing the original strike this week aud it
is expected that the ground will be
staked rapidly now.
Nevada has the greatest mineral re
sources of any State in the Union, and
this will add one more producing camp
to her already long list.

NORTHWESTERN WHITE PINE
William Wainwright Says Much
May Be Expected From That
Section in Near Future

Ely Expositor: While much is to be
expected in the future from more
thorough and extensive mining opera.
tions in the northwestern part of White
Pine County. W. H. Wainwright Of
Newark, who is here OIL legal business,
states that very little is being done
there at the present time. Mr.. Vain
wright has been connected with the
old Bay State mines for q number of
years and has faith in the property ,
which has been idle for the last two
years and which is owned by the New
ark Mining & Milling Company backed
by Boston capital. That is, it was, but
as the company is in debt to Mr.. Vain.
wright for services performed and he
is suing for what is due him, that point
as regards the capital back Of the COM
pany might be looked at in a different
light by some people.
The mill at Newark was erected in
1866, it is said, and as a matter of fact
1t was one OF the first plants to be
erected in the eastern part of Nevada.
Ores from the mines in the vicinity
were treated there, and after the dis
covery of the large deposits of silver
ores at Hamilton considerable ore was
hauled from the White Pine district
and milled at Newark. The mill is %
miles from Six Mile house or about %
miles from Hamilton. 1t had capacity
for handling a large tonnage daily and
is reported to have been the scene of a
large bullion production.
In the far northwest corner of the
county the Ruby mountain district is
said to have great promise of being de.
veloped into a good mining section
AL Dees and others recently secured q
small stamp mill from Eureka. intend
ing to mill some gold and bismuth ores,
but, Mr.. Wainwright reports, they have
not started yet on account OF lack of
power to operate the stamps. The
lodges there which carry gold
also carry bismuth, though, according
to statements made by one Of the
owners to Mr.. Wainwright. there is no
gold actually associated with the bis
muth, though both metals are found
close together in the lodges. In the
same vicinity are copper deposits of
considerable surface extent. ana predic-
tion has been made many times that
development would create a district
equal to Ely. Several years ago con-
siderable shallow work was done by a
company but the panic put it out Of
business and nothing but assessment
work has been done since then by the
owners.

SHEEP DYING FROM MALADY
Wool Growers in White Pine County
Are Fighting to Save Their Herds

Wool Growers in White Pine County
Are Fighting to Save Their Herds
Ely Exposition. Dec. I9.-Ths sheep
ranging in portions Of Spring Valley
are afflicted with o peculiar disease. Its
origin or ultimate cause is shrouded in
mystery. No method has been devised
by the wool growers in that section by
which the dread malady can be eradi-
Gated.
The sheepmen are unable to cope with
the situation, and have applied to
Uncle Sam for assistance in fighting
the deadly disease, which is making
serious inroads on the different bands
in the eastern part of the county. They
have asked for the cooperation Of the
Government officials in staving off the
contagion.
The disease manifests itself in an un-
usual way, and appears to be of q o
tagious nature. The animals become
bloated shortly after they are taken
sick. They usually live only "a hours.
In rare instances sheep have been
known to recover.
James Doutre has lost about 60 head
Of sheep during the last four months,
and severe encroachment has been made
on the bands owned by other sheepmen.
1t is probable that the Government Of
ficials will detail a representative of the
Bureau of Animal Industry to investi.
gate the situation.
