TOWNSHIP CLAIM
CASE TO Be SET
FTCE ORDERS THAT TITLE
BE ESTABLISHED

An order has been issued by the
general land office at Washington,
d. c., dated May 8, in the matter
of the controversy involving title
to lots embraced in the Goldfield
tcwnsite and claimed by Samuel
Fox of Tonopah under a mineral
location title.
James H. Parks, who represents
the holders of lots, has received
a copy of the order, directed to the
register and receiver Of the land
office at Carson City, and which is
as follows:
March %, 1916, by letter IN"
in the case of mineral applica-
ton O9392, filed Nov. Is, 1915,
by Samuel Fox, for the Ramsey
Extension lode, survey No. 421e,
in conflict with the patented
townsite of Goldfield, you were
directed to allow the mineral ap-
plicant, Fox, 80 days notice with
in which to show cause why the
application should not be re-
jected, or to apply for a hearing,
notice of which should be serv-
ed upon the townsite authori-
ties and upon the record title
holders of the lots conflicting
with the Ramsey Extension lode.
and J.. F.. Parks, ct al, at which
hearing he must Il the our
den of proof that the land was
known at date of townsite entry
to contain mineral to such X
tent and value as to justify ex-
penditure for the purpose of ex-
tracing them, etc. in default
whereof, CIR of appeal, the appli-
cation would be rejected with
out further notice.
April &c, 1916, you trans
mitted an application for a hear
ing, signed by Samuel Fox, and
requesting instructions. Said
application has been considered,
found to be practically in &C
cordance with the requirements
of said office letter IN" Of
March %, 1916, and hearing
thereon is hereby directed to
be ordered, at such time and
place as may appear to be most
convenient to all parties of in-
terest.
Patent having issued, the con-
troversy would appear to be be
tween the mineral applicant, the
townsite of Goldfield and the
numerous occupants of the land
in question. and protestants
whose names appear in the rec
ord, and not one in which the
government has an interest 9TH
err than the character of the
land.
The p~rOtestants of record APP
pear to be James III. Parks, Emil
George Roessler, e. T. Richmond,
Thomas J.. Lee and Frank Ma
rino, all of Goldfield, Nevada,
and Lillian May Finnegan and
Louis J.. Finnegan, of Genoa,
Nevada.
A list of the adverse occu-
pants of lots is filed with a re-
jected adverse claim No. 09469
and may be had from the sum
mons and complaint in the cas-
of Samuel Fox VS.. ]. T.. Akin,
James II. Parks ct al, filed Nov.
IS, 1914, in the district court
of the seventh judicial district
of Nevada, in and for the coun-
ty of EsmeralGa, in which suit
was brought to quiet title.
Notice should be served as di-
rected by said letter IN" of
March 2S. 1916, and the hearing
proceed as in ether cases, in
terested parties being allowed to
intervene upon a sufficient
showing of interest.

CLAIMS ACQUIRED
BY SALT LAKE MEN
PROPERTIES IN CHERRY CREEh
DISTRICT ARE RICH IN
TUNGSTEN

ELY, New, May 25.-Tungsten
discoveries at Cherry creek, SO
miles north of Ely, are bringing
that old time camp into prominence
once more in the mining world.
Salt Lake City people, who were
fortunate enough to obtain infor-
nation regarding the first discov-
cries there early last fall. have
been quietly gathering in prop
erty for several months and keep
ing their deals under owe until
they now control a large acreage
of promising tungsten ground.
Ernest Kimball of Salt Lake
City accidentally obtained the
first tip of scheelite discoveries by
a couple of prospectors during
last October, and within a few
DAYS secured an option on their
holdings and made a substantial
cash payment. He was Joined by
Judge Legrande Young of Salt Lake
City in the deal for the original
group of six claims that were own
cd Ivy George Doyle of Osceola and
Joe Nelson and Milt Hamilton OF
Cherry Creek. Since that time
they have acquired three other
groups embracing 81 claims on or
contiguous to the contact of quartz
lite and lime in which the main
tungsten zone is found, and cover
ing a length of about three miles
on the contact.
From five to ten men have been
employed doing general prospecting
wcrl up to the present time, n
considerable high grade ore has
been extracted in process of this
development. On one claim on
which there are some old WORK
ings made in the days of silver
mining. it has been discovered
that the dumps contain d large
amount of scheelite which will
be extracted therefrom under n
larsed operations planned.
Arrangements are now being
rtade to organize a mining COM
pany and a milling company, the
latter to be conducted on a GUS
tom basis for the treatment of this
company's pres and others in the
district. 1t is probable that the
old Wild West mill at Cherry
creek may be taken in under the
milling plans.
The main vein following the
contact ranges from a few feet up
to about 80 feet and tests show
that a conservative estimate would
place the tungsten content at about
one and one-half per cent across
the vein.
Mr.. Kimball recently sent out
a shipment of 400 pounds Of hand
sorted ore that returned COZ per
cent. The property is located about
seven miles from rail and water
and timber are plentiful for large
operations.

regarded as highly favorable for the
occurrence of orebodies of great

Cracker Jack
An %orebody that has the appear
ance of being valuable has been ex-
posed in surface work on the
Cracker Jack property, at a point

size and character of the deposit,
which will be cut by a drift from

The work of timbering the shaft is
nearly finished and lateral develop
