FUTURE BRIGHT FOR
new NEVADA CAMP

After closing a deal for their Roy
al George group of nine claims, To-
Gated in the new Goldsmith camp,
rs miles east of Nina. New, Austin
X. Herman and John H. Cook have
returned to Salt Lake. Messrs.
Herman and Cook have been in Ne
vada for the past four weeks, looking
after their extensive mining inter-
ests. James P. Nelson, associated
with Messrs. Herman and Cook. is
the discoverer of the Royal George
group, news Of which was RESPONSE
BILE for the rush to the new district,
and it is understood that the deal
for the group aggregated 500 900
and a large block of the treasury
stock.
The ground has been taken over
by Fred ]. Siebert of San Francisco,
'ormerly consulting engineer of tht
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany, and his associates. Mr.. Siebert
has been identified with Goldfield
properties and especially Tonopah
properties since the beginning of
those camps.
According to conservative mining
men that have recently visited the
new district, it is one with the great
est surface gold showing made in
Nevada in recent years. Mr.. Nelson
discovered a quartz ledge measuring
forty feet in width, wherein the gold
values appear to be regular and
from which an average sample re-
turned $50 per ton across the entire
width. The strike caused consid-
cradle excitement and men flocked
into the district from all parts OF
Nevada, with the result that the
country is staked for several miles,
The concensus of opinion among the
biologists and mining operators that
have visited the district is that II
has the geological formation which
with development will not only pro.
duce mi of the largest camps in Ne
vada, but that the values will persist
to great depths.
Immediately to the south of the
Royal George group Tonopah inter.
ests have taken over the Harvey.
