A VOICE FROM THE GOVERNED
A mass meeting of the citizens took
place in Eagles hall last Friday. It
was attended by representative citi
zens from every party. Mr. Manuel
was called to the chair and Mr Botkin
selected secretary. Mr. J. O. Mc
Intosh outlined the aims and objects
dt the gathering, that It was organized
irrespective of party to Insure a bet
ter form of government, than what
has been the experience of the past.
Mr. McIntosh wa^jelected as organ
izer for the county and instrocted to
spread the faith as much as possible
before the primaries.
Every person present had his say
and there was not a single expression
contrary to that outlined by Mr. Mc
Intosh and which had been discussed
at a former meeting. A great many
people are not satisfied with preeent
officials and the past official record of
the county, and this move is for the
purpose of assisting in organizing a
purer and a better form of govern
ment. A committee of nine was ap
pointed to draft resolutions to be
submitted at an adjourned meeting.

local body do not in any way deprive

the organisation will have a good ef

Old Tecoopah camp, on the Amara
Kosa. la again to the front with its
large lead-silver mines, which of old
were the center of mining work In
the Resting Springs district. Begin
ning some thirty years ago. It wan one
of the early boom camps of the des
ert. At that time Mr. Osborne, the
veteran silver miner, erected a water
Jacket furnace in the camp, which, of
course, went the way of all other such
industries on the desert, only to be
revived by modern railway extensions.
Borax Smith’s railway now passes
within six miles of the Tecopah mines,
putting them in direct future contact
with Tonopah and Goldfield, with
their dry ores all hungering for the
fat lead product of Resting Springs
district.
The most recent deal In the district
Is the bonding of all of Mr. Osborne's
holdings by Philadelphia people con
nected with the Philadelphia Tonopah
mining Interests, which means that
Tonopah ores will shortly find a
smelting outlet Independent of trusts.
Thus does our southern Nevada min
ing industries widen and grow, one
developing the other, the desert fur
nishing silver and gold to astonish the
world, and later the lead to smelt
It all.

A CONQUEROR OF THESE
VAST ARID WASTES
Senator VV A. Clark wag In the Ve
gas last Thursday. He came from a
trip of insp&tton of the mining camps
of Tonopah, Goldfield and the Bull
frog country. Into which he l« running
a branch of his railroad. The senator
roughed It from the word “go." for
that is the way he first gained hia
start In the early days of Montana.
He visited ail of the big mines and
made a personal examination of them
himself, and it Is a known fact that
he is one of the .best mining experts
in the world. The senator pronounced
the Montgomery-Shoshone a wonder
ful property and the district moat
promising. He was met at the Vegas
by "Billie" McDermott, superintendent
of the United Verde, as well as by
numerous relatives and friends.
The senator took pleasure In wit
nessing the Tonopah train come roll
ing into the ‘depot, and, together with
his great transcontinental train, he
was. vre really believe, proud of hi*
property, and as much so of the men
who helped him to birtld it. The sen
ator left the same evening for Cali
ente in his private car. the roost gor
geous and finest in the world, where
he went over his proposed line whlcft
he Intends building to Pioche. He had
nothing further to say as to buildtng
it other than that he was on bis way
to make a personal examination of
the mines and to consult with mining
men; Lben—he- would be better pre
pared to say whether he would build
or not.
While In Pioche he was the guest
of F W. Dlckel of the Cecil hotel. On
hris return to Caltente the senator
made other mine examinations along
the line, and arrived in Salt Cake re
freshed from the pleasant trip and the
pleasures he had enjoyed while on the
j tour of examination.
It is very peculiar about Senator
Clark that he devotes his time to
looking after his own interests, and
what worldly possessions he has ac
quired have been built up by his own
personal efforts.

The property of the Banner Mining
and Milling company consists of eight
mineral-bearing quartz claims, the
Happy Jack containing a main ledge
on which they are sinking a shaft,
showing a vein of eight inches on top
and twenty-six Inches at a depth of
twenty-two feet. This claim lays
along the side of the New Haven and
the end Joins the Quo Vadls, the two
noted cross-claims of the Catlin group.
The Banner. Big Ledge. Connecting
Link, the Western, Oood Hope, Good
Hope Extension and the Walcott, all
of which show good values.
The property lays about 18 miles In
a southeasterly direction from Las
Vegas, on the El Dorado and Search
light road, in the Vincent Mining dis
trict, adjoining the Golden Triangle
and Catlln groups.
There are many veins, wltlj, strong
quartz croppings highly mineralized,
traversing these claims with leadBand
feeders in all directions. The vein
tilling is a spar quartz, with free gold
in crystallized quartz. The rocks of
this section are diorite. andesite and
a light colored bird's-eye porphyry.
'The mineral belt Is extensive and well
defined.
They. too. have a townslte ou their
claims, which w ill he of great value to
the company
The company Is made up of good,
sotid btrstnes* men. and men of ex
perience. There is no promoter’s
stock, for they do not believe in do
nating large blocks of stock to Influ
ential men for their Influence, but
prefer s<»eing the man who pays his
money get the full benefit of It.
By right of location the company
1 have acquired about five hundred
• inches ;of water lying ai»out seven

the private property being worked in
the district will need water, and by
pumping the w'ater about three and
one-half miles and raising, it for about
four hundred feet to the top of the
hill, they can run it by gravity to any
or all of the mines in the district.
R. E. Lake is the treasurer ann
manager, and much of the success of
this Enterprise is tine to his ability as
a miner.
TRAVEL INCREASES.
The L. V. & T. Railway is Doing a Big
Business For a Line Not Yet
Completed.
Travel has increased on the Bull
frog or what is called the Las Vegas
& Tonopah to the extent that It nowr
tnonopoll7.es all the travel and freight
going Into that country.
Superintendent Grace gives the
road his personal attention and the
comfort and conveniences In railroad
travel Is the equal of any road In the
country.
By the time that this article
reaches the eyes of the public we be
lieve the road will be completed Into
Gold Center,and the travel will then
be such that we believe both Tono
i>ah and Goldfield will favor it In
preference to the Southern Pacific
