LATE NEWS FROM
new Mining CAMP

Reports reaching Ely of a rich
strike having been made at the new
camp Of Carroll has resulted in a small
exodus from Ely of men who will in
vestigate the truth of the reports and
who expect to get interests in the dis
trict if they think it worth while.
Gael Hoag, of the Ely Investment
company, H. 0. (Tex) Hall, proprietor
of the Northern hotel and Louis
Fraser left in the Hoag machine this
morning at 8 O'Clock and Dr. r.
l.. Magoon and Dr. w. 8. Holm
quist started earlier in the Magoon car,
while E. L. Fletcher and a party may
leave in this car tomorrow morning. J.
Marks will go there after going to
| Winnemucca ,and Joe Zupan left on
the morning train to learn what the
camp is like.
| The ore is a black manganese and
the reports are that eleven tons ship
ped out brought net returns of $2,700
to the lucky owenrs of the new strike
1t is also reported that all the vehicles
that can be secured are in use carry
ing more of the rich ore to Austin from
which place it is shipped to the smelt-
er.
J. H. Piskersgill (Pickles) has been
telling his Ely acquaintance Of the
new camp for the last week or two
as he made a trip in there just before
coming to Ely this time and has in
terests in the new district. He has a
man there looking for something more
and believes the camp will be a good
one.
Samples Of the ore that were ex-
hibited here by him do not show any
free gold and it is said that no show
ing can be obtained by panning. As
one attorney remarked "the ore has
the appearance of being rich in chlo-
ride of assessment but not much
more.
The Reese River Reveille states
THAT conditions at the camp continue
TO improve. The shaft on the prop
erty of the Gold Basin Mining COM
pany encountered water at the 7O-foot
level. At the water level the char
acter or value of the ore was not al
tered. Ore is coming from the camp
to Austin for shipment to Salt Lake
by every team that will take load.
The returns from shipments hereto
fore made have all been satisfactory.
w. w. Wishon has purchasd a
group of ten claims from Berrego, Nc
Glynn and Jones, and is confident that
this property will be the second ship
per in the camp.
G. E. Kenney, representing Los An
geles people, has bonded two groups
known as the Valley View and the
Tellurium claims. In talking over
these claims, Mr.. Kenney agreed to
protect all leasers FOR blocks of ground
applied for on the two groups Ten
leases have already been signed up.
Wingfeld Gets In.
Last Wednesday E. A. Julian and
Charles Starr, representing George
Wingfeld bonded property adjoining
the Gold Basin Mining company 8
holdings on the south. Mr.. Julian was
decidedly impressed with the possi-
bilities of the camp.
The town of Carroll is rapidly as
suming the appearance of a mining
camp. A hotel, rooming house and a
number of saloons are doing a lively
business. Bert Acree, who has the
townsite business in hand, reports an
old time Nevada demand for lots at
the prices now prevailing. Wood is
plentiful and there has never been a
new camp in the state so favored with
a good supply of water.
The postoffice department hass estab-
lished an office at the new camp, Louis
L. Trout having been named as post
master.
The road from Austin to the town
will be put in frstclass condition at
is expected to be on in short time.
