W. H. Harrigan. who has steadily
been pinning his faith to the lead, sil

range west 30 miles from I-as Vegas.
Is in town securing supplies and am
munition for rtirther prospecting and
exploration work in his chosen terri
tory.
The district in which he operates is
known as the Yellow Pine and Includes
a mineral section so promising as ta
assure with good work additional pro
ducers besides the great Potosi mine.
He earnestly urges that the field is
one of immense possibilities, and like
all Nevada districts, extensive in those
evidences that gives the prospectoi
and tniulng man confidence.
I> Irish gtoup, owned by McCauley

mtioned it carries lead and zinc
rein is a spar. The leads of thh
rty are traceable on surface alon?

ringers and feeders,

It is understood, are negotiat
deal on the latter holding. As
copper oxides as were evei

i with various parties. Some ol
this ore carries as high as 83 per ceBt
copper.
What Is true of the properties men
tioned could be duplicated with the
holdings that other prospectors hare
in the district. Suffice It to say that
it is a field that will exact actual min
lug and development and whin this is
done there is no doubt of the result.
Such is the confidence of the claim
owners.

FROM GOOD SPRINGS.
Hon. Frank Williams was in town
from the Good Springs district during
the early part of the week. He reports
steady progress being made by the
prospectors and miners in developing
that disrrfet. He reports aiso that
lately tl»e workers have discovered
what they supposed was ledge matter
was ore giving values of from 31 to
50 per cent zinc. This discovery in
creases the value of many of the hold
ings In the district double. The zinc
bears in proportion of lead, silver val
ues.
A number of properties from this
district are shipping ore to the smelter
at Salt Ijike. Much of the transporting
of ore will be avoided in future when
the smelting plant at Good Springs is
completed.
THE COPPER WORLD.
Denier, Monahan and Murphy of the
Needles. California, will commence to
operate the Copper World west of lvan
pah in the near future.
The mine was tvorked years ago and
produced large quantities of copper at
that time, but owing to the excessive
cost of getting the metal to market the
property has been idle this long time.
Railroads have solved these troubles
and as a consequence the Copper
World will be in action again.
It is the purpose of the new mine
owners to have the Needles smelter en
larged to meet the demands of copper
ore for treatment from the old Ivanpah
belt.

THE JACK RABBIT.
E. G. Greening and L. A. Scowden,
well known capitalists In the Nippeno
Mining district of California, will at
tempt to make the Jack Rabbit mine

KNOWN BANKER

W. D. Lawton, While at Las Vegas, |
Speaks of the Wonderful Resources
of the-bullfrog Section.
THE CLARK ROAD MEANS MUCH.
—
When It Strikes the Portals of Gold
Center the Mining Development
Will be With Leaps and Bounds.
m
LOCATION, RESOURCES. WATER
SUPPLY.
W. D. Lawton, the Gold Centei
banker, was a visitor at l«as Vegas
Monday. Mr. Lawton is well known
as a financier; as a keen, sound busi
ness man and one whose experience
in handling large western enterprises
makes bis counsel and opinion one of
great weight. He has unbounded
faith and confidence in the future of
what he terms the real gateway to the
greatest and richest mining district in
the world today—the Bullfrog coun
try.
He fittingly places the merits and
advantages of Gold (’enter and its
contrtbutary resources in the follow
ing comparative way:
"One year ago Goldfield was consid
ered the richest and most extensive
gold bearing territory in the west.
While the Goldfield section has Its
wonder makers it is but the simple
statement of a fact when I say that
today the Bullfrog district exceeds,
[not alone in the size of its mineral
zone, but in richness, in tonnage
capacity, having larger ore bodies of
both low and high grade quality. It is
essentially a district In which the
wage earner receiving good wages
will be the means of making prosper
ous the business factors so essential
to a live city or town.
"The sturdy tin-bucket brigade to
day is great, but a few years hence I
can fancy it in the numerous thou
sands with a volume of money in ex
change and in the channels of trade
as per capita larger than that of any
other point in the country.
“The Bullfrog country has larger
Assure veins. These are so plentiful
that so eminent an authority as John'
Hays Hammond has pronounced them
so remarkable as rather to he a great
mineralized reef which with develop
ment work would enrich the world's
market with more precious metals
than would he extracted from the
South African gold zone. This opinion
of the world’s eminent mineralogist is
having its proof through the work
that reveals the Immense ore bodies
of the Shoshone, Gold Bar. Tramp, The
Rush and their companion fortune
seekers—great values and permanency
is a perfect demonstration.
“These assurances are bringing
many travelers and permanent resi
dents to our section.
“The shrewdest mining men of the
world are interested and like the
wide awt^ke that are making fortunes,
new ones are coming in and acquiring
mining property and commencing
operations to make newer and greater
bonanzas than already opened in and
around Gold Center and Rhyolite.
The coming of the Clark road will
plant machinery at a reasonable cost
at the gates of Cold Center. Many of
the mine owners are awaiting the
touch of this commercial artery in or
der to secure their machinery and
lumber and materials In quantities to
facilitate the large operations neces
sary to produce, handle and reduce
the great bodies of ore in the Gold
.Center and Rhyolite section.
"When the masterly enterprise of
.Senator Clark will reach Gold Center
the population and enterprises of the
Gold Center Bullfrog envious will be
manifold to what it is today. It will
be forward with leaps and bounds
Then will be the time when the artisan
and business men wiil gain a real
prestige and acquire a prosperous re
ward that cannot be matched; it will
be then that onr wonderful resourced1
—that which makes Gold Crater and
Rhyolite so lively and famed today
will emblazon the world with all their
greatness and richness.
"From thence it will be a steady
and onward march to sr. eater Indus
trt*l achievement*. It will be the
means of giving employment In mines
anil mills to thousands of worker* to
produce and reduce the great low ore
bodies that are near Gold Center and j
for fifteen miles east of Gold Center.
Reiltdes being the natural milling and !
mttrng headquarters for this grear {
rk$ section Gold Center will be the
commercial supply point for the thou
sand* of miners snd allied Interests In
all that great country.
fflBToday we are driving the biggest )
tSttncl, the largest prospect undertak
en In the Bullfrog country right at the |
doers of Gold Center. The tunnel is 1
in 300 feet, its size is S feet high t>
feet wide and when finished will he
over 0.000 feet in length. This tunnel
will cut numerous large ore bearing
bodies or leads. It has already ex
posed a number of large sized fissures,
each one revealing values that will
pay to handle on a lnrge scale.
‘ Mark. Gold Center will be the city
of the Bullfrog country. It has the
location; it has the resources; it has
the water supply to make It such.” •

CITIZENS ENTITLED TO ROAR
Severe and Monumental Hardships
Imposed on Every Citizen in At»
tendance on Court While Term
Is In Session
From the Caliente Express:
The term of the District Court was
noi very successful so far as the
criniina\ part was concerned this
term.
There were but three convictions
at this term of court by the jury and
two plead guilty. It was feared for a
time the 'Tow Boy Nell” gang would
escape and as it wras, they came
mighty near doing so.
George O. Sawyer got free as did
ex-Treasurer Goodrich, but even in
the face of thetr having done so does
loot dispute the fact that there was
'morey taken from the treasury In big
‘gobs” and who managed to get It is
left to a wondering and inquisitive
rtiblic.
may be added that the prosecution
has had the efTect of bettering condi
tions to the extent that county affairs
are more safely guarded now than
they were one short year ago.
Our opinion to further better the
business interest of the county would
be to move the county seat rrom its
temporary location. Pioche is too far
distant from the more thickly popu
lated portions of the county, and the
trip imposes hardships that could he
remedied were the permanent county
seat located in a more central location
and at a place more easy of access.
We believe there has been but few
people who have attended court but
have expressed disgust both as to he
cation and the inconveniences they
have to endure.
It is time for the people to take a
serious view of tills matter and to
take steps to relieve themselves on all
future occasions from further incon
venience. There has been a political
click or gang in the temporary county
seat who have dominated the political
siffairB ever since the county has been
formed. They have succeeded in ac
cumulating a bonded indebtedness
which has passed to Judgment amount
ing to the collossal and stupendous
sum of >651,000, and if for this fact, it
for no other reason, some other and
more convenient locality ought to be
designated and selected for the per
manent county seat.
Give us a change from start to fin
ish. from the temporary county seat
to the constable of Das Vegas, and
then some.

MUNN JUMPS THE TOWN.
Piochera Try to Make Him Continue
Or Go to Jail.
B. 3. Munn of the Pioche Cafe at the
temporary county seat concluded to go
out of business last week, owing a
number of bills. His creditors got
out a warrant for his arrest, but the
system of enforcing a criminal charge
to collect an account failed a full city
block. They never as 'much as got
within seeing distance. Munn Is still
at large.
The peculiar part of the business
was the attempt to make him continue
business by a legal process when
the business as a paying venture was
out of joint.

Deville, for resisting an officer, was
given two years on a conviction by a
jury, and Morrison, his partner, got
•off with eighteen months, having
pleaded guilty.
In the case of Nell, the warehouse
man at the Vegas in the employ of
the railroad company, came off mighty
lucky and was pronounced not guilty
by the jury.
The acquittal of Robert Shafer for
having taken a shot at George Col
lins w'as a popular verdict and was

ONE OF BE8T KNOWN MINING MEN
H. S. Josephs, one of the leading
mining men of the west, with his ex
pert, Ed Hoffman from Salt iAUce, has
been in the Vincent Mining district ex
amining mining claims. Mr. Josephs,
for himself and associates, represents
the strongest kind of capital in thd
west and when his combination be
come interested In a mining section
of a country it always signifies “things
a' doing."
Mr. Josephs did not say much, but
the significant wink of that keen eye
of his with the assertion it is a mighty
good looking country, and the leads
are a great showing, meant something.
On the quiet, partner, he has his eye
on something, and when the papers are
fully signed up it will be something
like those great mogul engines on the
railroad, nothing will stop except clos
ing the valve.
