Imagine a well defined lead break
ing the formation, an andesyte and
porphyry and as plain as the nose on a
man’s face for six thousand feet in
length, from twenty to sixty feet in
width, well mineralized and at points
giving surface values as high as 928 in
copper, gold and silver, and you can
behold the seeming great property of
Ed. W. Clark. C. C. Ronnow, J. E. Ed
dard. J. W. Wilson. J. W. Tuck. I. C.
Johnson, Geo. Copeland, J B. Rond
stadt and Tom Williamson about
twenty-two miles southeast of Las Ve
gas.
It is needless to go into details for
the showings on the holdings of these
well-known Vegans are so Immense
as to speak better for themselves
than all the technique descriptions
one can indulge in. The main lead
—the surface indications are simply
immense. The angle or line of ele
vation of the country through which
this great mineralized dyke cuts is
such that one can stand at the south
west end of it and see it along the
mountain side for more than six thous
and feet in which it so boldly reveals
itself.
The claims owned by the enumer
ated locators are the Nevada Queen,
Lucky Boy, Gem. Rawhide. Mammoth
and Red Top, the group controlled by
E. W. Clark, C. C. Ronnow, J. E. Ed
dards, J. W. Wilson and I. C. Johnson.
The Nevada Queen extensions. Last
Chance with the Cyrus Noble and Jes
se Moore as side liners are the posses
sion of Tuck. Johnson. Copeland.
Rondstadt and Tom Williamson
The rein filling Is a spar, heavily Im
pregnated with hematite Iron, carry
ing In an oxidised copper and the bl
products of gold and silver.
So far no extensive develop
ment work has been accom
plished. Up to the present only lo
cation cuts have been made upon the
vein, but wherever this simple re
quired representation has been accom
plished the showings reveal such fea
tures of mineral bearing properties as
to Impress the great possibilities of
this late discovery near Las Vegas.
The location cuts on the Rawhide
and ona of I. C. Johnson's claims re
veal such mineral bearing features as
to carry superior surface Indications
ever seen by the writer and there are
few that he has not seen In the west
ern copper zones.
It Is an old saying that the opening
of a copper mine Is not a poor man’s
proposition. It is true, but in this
case one is Impressed that it is an ex
ception, from the fact that with suf
ficient grub stake the individual own
ers will be able to do sufficient devel
opment work to demonstrate the par
tial value of their holdings In the near
future.
It is a great property and unless all
signs fall it will be the means of en
riching In a mnoetary and property
sense as splendid a crowd of prospect
ors as It was ever fortune’s way to
benefit.
Besides the main lead traversing
these claims there are other well de
fined leads, but smaller and not pros
pected on as yet.
Other nearby claim holders are
Frank Brandt, Robt. Shaffer. Leo.
Bolton. Robt. Deverell, James Brown.
N. A. Kuhn. F. L. Reber, and J. Mc
Donald. but from present showings
they are not In on the cream of these
mineral exhibits that the other fortu
nates possess.
This section is about two miles
northeast of R. R. Pass, that other
promising mining belt which presents
its invitation so proliflcally to the
raining man and investor.
Claims worth having and showing
good values are owned by the follow
ing well-known individuals of Lincoln
county. J. W. Westlake. W. R. Thom
as, S. A. West. F.. B. Boggs, (’-apt. J.
H Ladd. T Bortelson, Tom Lowe, B.
McCaughey. Hall & Hewetson, F. L.
Duncan. Richard Busteed, Roy W. My

C. O. Whittemors Tslls of Progress on
Los Vegas A Tonopah Railroad.
Salt Lake City.—C. O. Whlttemore.
attorney for the 8alt lake Ronte, re
turned Tuesday from Beatty *nd Rhyo
lite. Nev., where he has been engaged
in the adjustment of some matters In
connection with the right of way of
the Las Vegas A Tonopah railway
now under construction. Mr. Whltte
more say* that the progress of the
work on the new road Is such that it Is
expected that the rails will be laid
into Beatty by July 15. There are
now laid elghty-flve miles from law
Vegas and the grading is practically
all completed Into Beatty.
“There Is not the slightest doubt.”
said Mr. Whlttemore. “that the advent
of the railroad Is having a wonderful
effect on the section which It will
open. The prospect of close proxi
mity of the road has stimulated the
whole mining region. Prospecting has
taken on a boom and fresh discoveries
are being made dally. The entire re
gion Is flourishing and Is only await
ing the completion of the road. The
people are enthusiastic over the fact
that It is so near completion and are
making plans to welcome it. Already
when I left committees had bden ap
pointed at both Gold Center and Beat
ty to arrange for a monster celebra
tion when the first train goes over the
line."

SMELTER PROJECT.
A Salt Lake Jurist Intends to Get
Busy.
Judge Burton of Salt Ij»ke. who
passed through town last week, en
route to Sandy, has a smelter project
on hand for the latter place which
contemplates the reduction of the lead
and zinc ores, so abundantly about that
camp, by a new and simple process
which bids fair to bring the smelters
to the miners instead of the reverse
as now.
The Judge's Shenandoah mine, neat
Sandy, is turning out to be a winner,
and will help the smelter project.

POTOSI GETTING RICHER.
South Tunnel Has Another Big Body
Of Ore.
A new body of galena and lead car
bonates has been encountered in the
face of the Potosi south tunnel, from
which shipments are already being
made to the smelter.
The discovery of this new ore body
joining onto the immense bodies of
zinc carbonates, some of them seventy
feet in thickness, demonstrates that
the lead Is holding its own in that fa
mous old world beater.
JOHN F. COLLINS.
A Man of Practical Ability and
Splendid Worth.
We want to call the attention of the
readers of "The Times" to the "ad"
of John F. Collins, undertaker and
practical embalmer.
Mr. Collins Is a hard working me
chanic aR well as a man of splendid
literary ability, and a gentleman who
will make his mark politically before
the next six months have came and
gone.
A natural born orator and a conser
vative leader In the Vegas ranks of
labor.

He Hastens to Bring the Glad Tidings
To Hit Friends in California.
F. O. Williamson, from Long Beach,
and who is interested very extensively
In large mining enterprises at Globe,
Arizona, went out to the Vincent Min
ing district in company with R. E.
Lake, and he was wonderfully im
pressed with the Banner Mining A
Milling company's claims, as well &b
that of the Golden Triangle group.
He left Monday morning for Long
Beach. California. He will be back,
just as ail others who have visited the
wonders of this new bonanza gold pro
ducing district.

CALENTE’S NEW PAPER.
We have not learned what F. R. Mc
Naroee of De Lamar and Banker Han
sen of the new bank at that place, who
bought the newspaper field from
James Brown, proposes to name the
new paper, but as it is proposed to
move the “Lode" to Callente the peo
ple can be well satisfied they will be
favored with an up-to-date metropoli
tan newspaper that any community
can be proud of.
The new firm will In no wise haVte
anything to do with the past manage
ment of "The Callente Express" or be
responsible for subscriptions or busi
ness transacted by It.

A LIVE VOLCANO.
In Vincent District, Near the Golden

What appears to be a live volcano
has been discovered in the Vincent
district.
There is a rent in the mountain and
it has been emitting smoke ever since
the 'Frisco calamity.
At first there was but little smoke,
and no heat, but at the present time
there Is a volume of smoke and the
rock formation close to the cone is
very hot now.
