NEWS FROM THE
GREAT GOLD CAMP

Dick McNeely, who has been stop
ping in Winnemucca for the past few
days. is, like all arrivals from National,
brim full of enthusiasm over the rich
ness and magnitude of the wonderful
gold camp of Humboldt county. Mr..
McNeely asserts that National is o.
K. and the highgrade production SO
great as to make the camp the excep-
tion in this era of great mining enter
prises. He states that any camp that
can stand on the deck and spread its
wings to the four corners of the world
with the authentic record of a produc-
tion of 100000 per month, taken out
by 20 miners actually employed on ore
is wonder. "This is what National
is doing and will continue to do for a
lone time to come, Dick proudly pro-
claimed, adding that the rich ore is not
a pocket proposition, but true fssure
that has already been opened up for a
distance of 1000 feet, "with ore at the
bottom, ore in the roof and ore in the
face as they go into the mountain, and
the further they telescope Charleston
hill the greater the depth, the stronger
the lead and the larger the ore body
This trend, according to Mr.. Nc
Neely, is into and through the National
Defiance holdings, with no error in the
evidence as to the great rich ore zone
of Charleston mountain. Dick is like
everybody that goes into and comes
from the district-they come away
convinced, because seeing is believing.
In addition to the 20 men working
exclusively on the high grade, there
are Is additional miners at work de-
velopingg and opening the larger
bodies of ore of lesser values.
Developing the "Indian Queen Claim
Over on the "Indian Queen'' claim,
a short distance to the northeast of the
National company, and where some are
saying it is case of "the Campbells
are coming they are doing big work.
The eIndian Queen' is Bob Mont
gomery's property, under lease TO
Gordon Campbell and DIR. Mcdonald
The leasers have driven 200-foot tun-
mel to cut two leads, one having been
encountered, which makes a fine show.
ing. The second lead gives the best
surface indications and it is expected
that it will be tapped in a very short
time. As a matter of fact they are now
in those leaders and stringers that al.

is from these feeders that the leasers
are securing such high values.
The s'Indian Queen" lease is in line
for good showing and will no doubt
report for the benefit of the district.
They are coming, the Campbells are.
and their message will be another gold
en- victory for National.
Prediction by National Defiance Super
intendent.
J. f. Kendall, one of the earliest
miners and prospectors in the National
district and one of the most competent
men in his line in the west, is in charge
of the operations of the National De-
fance company. To representative
of the Silver State Mr.. Kendall recent
ly stated "this is an auspicious time
for undertakings in the National dis
trict. Slashing opportunities are here
for making big winnings and gaining
added profits to what the National
company and Stall lease are producing
These profits will be made by those
who will pin their faith and devote
their energies to uncovering the rich
resources of the district. -
These are the views of one who from
the first has been a firm "stand pat
ter' for the National district.
