deals in property will be consumated
within a few weeks.
Parties interested in the arsenic
development in the lod Shady Run
section have been on the ground and
IL seems likely that shipments will
be going out of that section from at
least two points. In the same district
excellent gold assays have been re-
turned from the Hellum property
which is under bond to George Chap
man. Recently some experiments OF
cyanide treatment from ores of the
district have shown values that here
tofore have been overlooked. This
feature is very likely to turn much
of this section into a commercial sec
tion.
A short distance from this prop
erty Shafer and Crumbacker are op-
Grating and have developed to point
where figures are being made on
shipments to Lovelock. Two carloads
of ore are out for treatment and as
work progresses additional tonnage is
in sight.
Making Government Survey
During the past ten days a gov
ernment geologist has been over this
district, in fact several men from the
government bureau are now scout
ing through Nevada in order to make
survey of the quantities that can
be anticipated from the arsenic veins
in the state. 1t is stated that this is
done as an advance to the regulation
of the tariff on this metal which has
lately come into high demand.
Among the districts visited is that
of Sand Springs where considerable
arsenic deposits have been opened.

Goldbasin Coming On
The development at Goldbasin con-
tinues to be the center OF attraction
as every day shows up something
new and of interest to this section.
Both the placer and lode claims are
more than meeting expectations and
new men are coming into the district
each week. One Tonopah party has
been sent in with instructions to stay
in the camp and report progress.
Stimler is expected back in the camp,
he having taken samples some time
ago which ran up to expectations.
The local men who visited the
camp during the week all declare
that on every claim where depth is
being attained that the values have
increased and that some new lodges
that promise well are being opened
up.
The first real house in the district
is under construction, the lumber
