GREAT ACTIVITY AT
BARRETT SPRINGS

Any day for the past two or three
weeks teams and autos could have
been seen on the road between Winnie
mucca and Barrett Springs. The rigs
were usually loaded with supplies and
barrels of water, while the machines
were carrying men and women inter-
ested in claims at the camp.
The company headed by Henry
kantenwein and G. T. Smith has per-
formed location work on the three
claims located on the first day of
January. This was all done on new
ground and an excellent showing has
been made. On the old Nineteen
Ten claim the labor was performed
at a point some 800 or 400 feet
north of the old shaft, and vein of
ore was exposed that will easily run
800 to the ton.
This week Messrs. Smith, Edmunds
and Merrifeld put night shift to
work on the Nineteen-Ten Exten-
son, and expect to begin shipping
within the next 30 days. Mr.. Smith
has resigned his position with the E.
Reinhart company and will devote his
entire time looking after his exten-
sive interests at the camp.

ROCHESTER UNINJURfD
BY MI ING LITIGATION

Notwithstanding recent court de-
cisions affecting individual interests,
the Rochester mining district will
forge ahead and prove its greater
mine capacity. Lawsuits will not i'm
pede its progress for it is part of a
regional section already proven, with
highly mineralized conditions and sur
face showings, which are strong indi-
cations for the filing of new mines
out and beyond those proven on Lin
ctln, Independence, Packard and Men
eel hills. The great mines of Virginia
City, Tonopah and Goldfeld were
proven by following such surface
guides. While litigations may ham
per temporarily portions of the dis
trict it will not impede its larger de-
velopment and progress a natural re-
suit of great merit, says a Rochester
