BUYS LYNN TOWNSHIP
FOR $4,000

The report reached Elko this morn
ing that the towns:te at Lynn the
much discussed and widely-adver-
tised mining camp, has been pur-
chased by the president of the big
Six" the company which owns the
lease on the Lynn mining proper
ties, for $35. 900.
The closing of this deal is accept
ed as further evidence of ynn as
mining district, by those who have
carefully inspected the new camp,
and who, as a result, are thorough
ly familiar with local conditions
there. F -.
If present expectations regard
ing the new camp are realized, as
futher progress is made in the de-
V"lopment of the grounds, the bene-
fits to be derived therefrom by
Elko, Carlin, and other nearby
towns. are we'll nigh incalcuable.
i. Carlin at present is-S,led to oyes
flowing with mining men, and
others who are anxious to cast
their lot with those whose who al
ready have located at Lynn, and
who hope 70 meet with success in
this promising district.
Lodging and other Accommodations
are at premium in Carlin, ana
those who wish to reach Lynn at
this time should see that they are
we'll provided with the necessary
equipment for making the trip.
AS result of the effort made by
so many fortune seekers to reach
Lynn without delay. the livery
barns and owners of autos and
other conveyanes are doing a rush
ing business. and are unable to
meet in full the demands made for
their services. No doubt this con-
dition will be remedjed at an early
date, and those who wish to reach
the new mining district will soon
be able without unnecessary delay
or inconvenience.

all the available lands suitable
agriculture. has been tied up with
large ranches and was nor avail
able for the small farmer at any
price. However a new day has
dawned and the owner of the II
Ranch are to be commended for
their unselfishness in sub-dividing
this valuable tract of fertile land
and making it possible for hun.
dreds of home builders to locate
on and develop this immense tract
of agricultural land.
This company refused a most
tempting offer for its entire hold
ings. The price was larger in the
aggregate than it is now off ering
to sell in small parcels.
/ The owners of this ranch would
prefer to see two or three families
settle on and improve this land.
1t will add to the population and
increase the valuation of the entire
county. >'
They have taken a loyal and pat
riotic stand which should and will
no doubt be much appreciated by
