BIG MINING REVIVAL
IN MINERAL COUNTY
S. NJ. SUMMERFTELD SAYS NEW
CAMPS ARE ACTIVE; GOLD
SMITH PROMISING

Mineral county is more active in
a mining way than it has been for
years." said S. NJ. Summerfield, mer-
chant of Nina, who also manages to
crank up his big car and get to the
scene of a new strike among the
first. Summerfield and his family
are on their way to the exposition
and will remain in Reno a few days
before proceeding to the coast, ac-
cording to the Gazette.
There are a number of the most
promising camps that are beginning
to make Shipments" he said at the
Golden. Goldsmith, 25 miles east
of Nina, will probably be a very big
and important camp. The property
recently purchased by Fred Seibert
and Former Governor eddie, known
as the Royal George, has about six
feet of ore that runs a little better
than $50. 1t is a gold ore, free mill
ing, and several different mining
engineers declare that it is going to
make a big mine. Seibert and Cd
die and their associates bought the
property for $175,00O, the payment
to be made 100000 in stock, $780,
600 cash, and $4,000 has already
been paid down. Stevens and Morris
also W a valuable piece of ground
adjoining the Rayol George. The
townsite of Goldsmith is owned by
w. X. Smith of Salt Lake City.
'Annthnr maui ofriEa thnt L., ut
tracing attention is at Cinnabar
Camp, IL mines east of Nina. 1t
was located by Pepper and Keogh,
and besides their property, myself,
b. Is. Shepherd and j. Holman
Buck have secured some rich claims.
Sheriff Grutt and A. c. Roach also
own some valuable property there.
The ore is rich, and already eastern
people are becoming interested. A
party OF engineers is due there next
week to make an examination of the
camp. There is plenty of wood and
water on the ground and the cost Of
operating a retort and extracting the
quicksilver would not be expensive.
The Dunlap mine, a copper prop
erty owned by the Tonopah Mining
company, is located IL miles east OF
Nina. a crew of men is at work
sampling the ore and the indications
are so good that the company is now
figuring on erecting a leeching plant
there.
The Pamlico placer properties
hQUn ntfy,o nfn1 r,rttn ~ nnn,lnts,,, a.,
the old Pamlico district. Buckhorn
and Burns of onopah and j. H. Mil.
Ter OF Lucky Boy are operating ex-
tensively and making big money by
just ordinary sluicing work.
AT Rand, which is So miles north
OF Nina, rich ore has been found
and it Is reported hat some ship
ments nave already been made.
Goldpen, close to Rand, is also be,
ing developed and is a promising
camp. At Kinkead the owner of the
Copper Bug property, B.. E. Shep-
herd, recently shipped 20 tons of
copper ore to the Salt Lake smelter.
which Melted him $42 a ton. c. E.
Noble has opened UP a rich tungsten
property seven miles southwest OF
Nina. He has found tungsten ore
in paying quantities, and l.. b. Spen.
ce rof Hawthorne has taken a bond
on the property.
Business in Mineral county is
good, due mostly to the mining ac
tivity. Nearly all of the companies
outfit at Nina or Hawthorne, and
every day news of some rich strike
Is brought into town. Goldsmith,
however, is thought to be the most
important of all of the recent
strikes. Well known mining engi-
neers who have visited the district
say that the strike is the most i'm
pOrtant in the state since Goldfield.'
