ONE-EIGHTH INTEREST IN MOUNTAIN

If what a stranger told them proves
true there is no doubt of the value

The claims are fourteen miles
from Coaldale in a northwesterly di-
rection up draw in the Monte

the narrow guage, where the South

Two months ago a man from the
east appeared at Coaldale and took
room at the road house, He spent
his days in the hills and did not
say anything to others about his
business until he grew tired of what
seemed a fruitless search and then
he told Carl Reick who runs the
road house, that he was looking for
vast deposit 81 Silica which he
was informed was in that vicinity
He described the appearance of the

stranger said so, and as an express
sion Of his gratitude, he decided an
eighth interest in the find to Reick.
Sixteen claims, or 29O acres, were
staked out and the location certifi-
cate was filed with the recorder of
Esmeralda county. The names OF
the locators were given as o. r.
James, A. H. Lee, D. b. Gillis, w

Stalker. The latter is said to be

ises to take 100000 tons a year, and
pay for it at the rate of SIS a ton

ing is practically nothing as it can
be handled as a steam shovel prop
osition and if the deposit is as rich
as claimed there win be no trouble
in persuading the railroad to extend

The only cloud on the horizon
arises from the sale of another one

DRILLING
WILL BE PUSHED
At DUCKWATER
RAILROAD VALLEY WILL CON-
TlNuE THE SCENE OF Ac.
TIVE OPERATIONS.

At the annual meeting the Rail
road Valley company held yesterday
afternoon steps were taken to in
sure the raising of $4,000 for the
purpose of continuing the drill ex-
plorations at the dry lake where
Manager Barndt found gaylussite at
at depth of 71S feet.
The stockholders are satisfied that
there is plenty of potash and the
only question is to finance the com
pany to permit a continuance of the
sinking. The theory established by
experience is that gaylussite invar
iably carries other salts, the heavi
est being precipitated to the lowest
depths and calcium soda, and sodium
potassium may be found at higher
planes in the same region. These
seep toward the lowest center of tht
old lake bed and the only question
now is to establish the exact plac,
where the depression occurs as tn,
present boundaries are not sufficien
guides to the location sought.
Another argument in favor of thi
contention is that the lower salt doe
not carry any potash which is sur
posed to remain bottled up. TIL
area to be prospected has been re
duced by former drilling seven an
half miles from the latest hole
The method to be pursued is to sin
again and then by learning the dept
at which the gaylussite occurs furtl
er out, mathematical calculatio
should enable the engineers to estal
lish the dip of the ledge that tn
next hole may come closer.
The old directors were re-eleete
