COAST Mining
MEN INVEST
At ROYSTON

New blood has been injected into
the life Of Royston, the new mining
camp situated 2S miles north Of
Tonopah. in the persons of Nat ?.
Wilson ami son, W. H. Wilson, and
Sylvester Rapp, prominent Los An
geles mining men. AS a result OF
these two men becoming interested
at Royston IN a financial way, and
with having placed their stamp Of
approval upon the district in gene
raj it is anticipated that southern
California will shortly be duly rep
resented in the developments of the
district
Nat Wilson Is a retired mining
operator. He made his first stake Of
a million dollars or more during the
early days of Cripple Creek and for
Is years was one of the largest
operators in that district Later he
went to old Mexico where he opera
ted extensively in the Parrall dis
trict, realizing a couple of more mil
lions. Mr.. Rapp is a prominent
mining engineer, and for a great
many years was one Of the most
extensive leasers at Cripple Creek,
where he and his brother, Mel Rapp'
realized a fortune. For the last year
he has been operating at Randsburg'
California, but since examining the
Royston district and inspecting the
many properties undergoing develop
ment, he is convinced that one of the
greatest mining sensations of the
last score of years is in the bloom
Ing
So highly pleased are the visitors
with Royston as a coming great min
ing district, production wholly con-
sidered, that they have invested
heavily in stock of the Super Six
Mining company. After inspecting
the block of ground being operated
under lease by Briz Putnam and as
sociates, Nat Wilson and Mr., RapI
purchased a one third interest held
by Leo Waters, the deal being made
on the ground yesterday when sub
stantial checks were written.
Mr.. Rapp states that he believes
there will be an influx of investors
from Los Angeles within the next
80 days.

The rapidity with which news Of
new ore strikes comes from the
bonanza camp at Royston is almost
without precedent in the silver camps

with the first phenomenal values
that were found. each leaser appears
to be vieing with one another in an
endeayor to go him one better.
A result showing $24 in gold and
l55S,S0 ounces of silver has been
secured from an assay from a sam
pie brought in by Fred L. Miner
from the strike made on Saturday
by Tabaracci on the Best Chance
claim. and is followed today by the
receipt of news of a strike on the
