BElLEHE[tN STRIKE
OF GREAT RICHNESS
Continued from Page one.)

Mr.. Weber has let a contract for 4
300-foot shaft on another group
which he controls and work is to start
there at once.
The Ajax group, westerly of the
Merger and Dorothy groups, has ship
ped a great deal of ore 10 Tonopah
under the management of William
Forman. from which good profits are
reported.
The camp has not more than 100
men in 1T, forty-nine of whom are
employed by the Merger company.
The camp is large in extent and
contains many features differing from
Tonopah, Goldfield and other desert
camps. 1t has ample wood IN the
form of pinion and cedar timber for
mining sets, stulls and tagging, At
present depth the mines are dry and
the ground stands with a minimum
of timbering. There is ample water
in the district for all purposes. us
altitude is 1000 feet higher than To-
nopah, it being about 1900 feet.
From Ely the distance TO Belle
helen is about 40 miles. II would
by farther to go by Warm Springs
pass, which is the route of the Mid
land trail. The Arrowhead road is Il
new one and a cutoff. The Kawieh
summit is crossed in the heart of the
district, up the canyon from the old
Reveille mill, which is at the Folini
ranch, in Reveille valley.
Bellehelen was discovered In 1905
by Robert NJ. Nisbet, a linotype op-
operator for three and a half years
employed on the Ely Record At that
time he was Internationally employed
by the Tonopah Sun, the publisher of
which Is now a member of the White
Pine News stan. Mr.. Nisbet was not
a professional prospector, that being
about his only attempt. His inter
ests there long since have lapsed.
In the Ely party were Mr.. Good
man, Stanley Wiiliams. Wallace
Boyle, Harry Damn and another nan
whose name is unknown. The last
two remained there. The others Wis
tied Tonopah and we're away four
days.
