If every camp in the state had as
much as we have in payrolls and
activity and as little to discourage its
residents, there would be the greatest
boom on in Nevada that the world
ever witnessed.
Where there is so much smoke as
In this oil prospecting business in
Nevada there must he some fire. We
believe that the state will yet ring
with the dank of the pump on many
wells and that the derrick will be
come as notable and frequent as the
shaft house. There is an abundance
of formation in White Pine, Elko anu
the southern counties indicating the
presence of oil. Time will tell the
story, however, and meantime no sub
stitute is possible beyond the work
which is going ahead. With oil, Ne
vada would become the industrial
wonder of the world. Our own bene
fits in this district would alone be
enormous, working a revolution in
present prospects, bright as they are,
and quickly shoving us up to a pro
duction of metal that would startle
the world.
No section of the country is more
favored with natural conditions lend
ing aid to the making of good roads
than found in this state. Nor is there
a section in which roads are more en
tirely neglected so far as the doing
of sensible, permanent building is
concerned. The best that is attempt
ed is patch work to the trails which
are down on the maps as roads. Over
the greater part of the state there is
splendid gravel foundation provided
by nature for highway making and
the expenditure of one-half the mon
ey that goes into useless expense in
the making of roads Instead of re
pairs would in a few years give us
highways that thousands of automo
biles would travel annually, carrying
people who when brought face to
face with the resources and possibil
ities of the state would make haste
to become identified financially with
its development. Beside which good
roads would enable the taking out of
millions of dollars worth of ore an
Dually that now .lies in the ground
and on account of transportation dif
ficulties cannot be either profitably
mined or taken to market.

EAST END OF
CAMP OFFERS
A mining engineer of much abil
ity and not a few successes, writes
the following for the News:
There is no reason for-the people
of the camp to get discouraged over
any temporary depression. We have
good times on the way, and from a
source that has in the past been
slighted or overlooked, and this
awakening is coming, or is at hand,
from development “over our roofs.”
We have plenty of evidence that
the eastern end of this district has
’ copper deposits in the lime. The
i proof consists of many splendid crop
! pings, wide and extended, with fine
I values in copper, gold and silver, and
the precedent of other copper camps
with similar formation, namely:
Butte, Bisbee, etc., who have develop
j ed their mines to great depth, and
produced immense weauh, while as
yet our development in this area has
been entirely superficial.
Years ago the surface was pros
pected and mined for lead and sil
ver in the eastern part of the dis
hit any time dese last forty years ef
we'd had enough backbone to riz up
an’ fit one good fight for hit, but in
sted of dat we set around a holdin’
I our hands, an' all we’se done is to
say in a meek voice, ‘Please sir, I
; don’t lak to trouble you, but ef you'd
kindly pass me de ballot, hit sho’ly
would be agreeable to me.”
“An' instead of givin’ hit to us men
1 has kinder winked one eye at de
odder an' said, ‘Lawd, she don’t want
hit, or else she'd make a row about
i hit. Dat’s de way we did. We
didn't go after de right to vote wid
ottr pink tea manners on.’
"Yassir, dats de true word, an’
you listen to me—de day dat woman
spunks up, an’ roils up dere sleeves,’
an’ says to dere husbands dat dev
ain’t gwine to do no mo’ cookin’ in
dis house, nor darnin’ of socks, nor |
patchin’ of breeches ontel dere is)
some female votin', why dat day de
ballot w ill be fetched home to woman
on a silver salver. All dat stands be
tween woman an’ suttrage is de lack
I of a spinal column.
"Yessum. most of de trouble in
dis world day women has come along
of dere bein’ born wid a wishbone
insted of a backbone, but I lay dey
can't help hit. jiits all de fault of
de way dey was made, but what I’d
a show at lak to know' is why women
didn't Ret a show at Adam’s back
bone as well as his chist protector.”1
trict and when copper values appear
ed work was dropped on account of
the difficulties in treatment at that
time and the lack of transportation
and reasonable costs to points where
these ores were amenable to treat
ment and profit, but not in a single
instance has a lead in this section that
showed values in copper, or promise
of such, received adequate attention
or reasonable expenditure of money
to demonstrate Its value. A great
many properties in this vicinity have
showings of strength and continuity,
which in many other camps would
warrant considerable work.
The people of Ely are perfectly
aware of a number of properties in
this section which have not been
worked for a long period and have
no apparent prospect of becoming
active in the near future, and yet the
stock in the companies organized on
these is closely held. The owners evi
dently have faith that these prospects
will eventually receive the considera
tion they deserve and will make
good.
The Ely Centennial Mining Co. is
the pioneer, which will demonstrate
that these ores, at Ely's door, are
profitable; that the properties of this
end of the district have been over
looked, and neglected. The company
is a strong one, they have a good
treasury balance, sufficient fo suc
cessfully consummate development
planned, and the head of the corpora
tion, Samuel Newhouse. is a man ex
perienced and successful in the cop
per mining field, tenacious, with
abundant resources and connections,
and able to give the stork an honor
able standing in all markets. He was
thoroughly advised of the formation,
geology and possibilities by his en
gineers before he took hold of the
property. He also has a competent
corps of experienced aud technical
mining men in his employ, and will
bring the mine to a producing basis
quicker than the usual operator in
this held.
It will repay visitors to investi
gate the surface showings and work
1 ings and see what grounds Mr. New
1 house had for his investment. They
' will find one of the longest and most
persistent veins in the district. The
management have surveyed off this
main vein for office and working use
and have also had the lead staked on
the surface, so that it is possible to
walk ove>r it for several thousand
feet. At places it is covered by wash
and debris, but it crops strongly every
few hundred feet. At some points
the vein is only a few feet in width;
at others It widens to over 20 feet.
It is a well known and sound prin
ciple that a fissure is in proportion
in depth as in length. As this main
vein of the Ely Centennial is easily
traced for over a mile, it is safe to
assume that it will go to great depth,
and probably increase in width.
The capping of the main Centen
nial vein is a gossan, which is a
disseminated limonite and hemans
tite. with reddish brown iron stains,
and at places in the different work

ADVICES CONFIDENT •
Herrick-Kerin Co. received •
the following advice from a •
prominent firm yesterday in re- •
sponse to inquiry as to the sit- •
uation: •
NEW YORK. April 14, 1!H0. •
Herrick-Kerin lnv. Co., Ely. «
From information we have hut *
which we are not at liberty to
disclose we are confident that
the copper merger will be well
under way within the next
thirty days. The next year will,
we believe, witness the biggest
boom the country has ever
known in coppers. Market here
quiet, but with good demand for
Ely, Bingham, Globe, Ray and
Tintic stocks. We believe break
in Hake coppers is at an end.
Ely Central is being taken at
around $1 per share in large
amounts by the public, who be
lieve it is cheap and who are
averaging out on stock bought
at higher prices. Insiders are
supplying the demand. Next
movement in Ely Central should
be upward. Calumet and Hecla
announces an advance in copper
to 1314 cents a pound.
ings, where the ore shows under this
"hat” there are good values, but the
ore is very dry, porous, and well
leached, evidence that the percolat
ing water has carried the chief cop
per content to a lower zone. It Is
these recognized conditions that ap
pealed to the experienced mining men
now interested in this company and
caused the active work now gotng on,
through the medium of a tunnel al
ready in 600 feet, with about 400
still to go, to tap this great vein, and
if commercial ore is not found at or
near the breast of this tunnel, to im
mediately start a winze and sink to
water level, which would be In the
neighborhood of 300 feet beow the
tunnel floor. This is a very attractive
program, especially as the company
is In flnariclal shape to carry !t out.
The work is being done in an able,
rapid and economical manner. There
is a fine plant at the mouth of the
tunnel, including compressor for air
drills, etc., and a fan is to be Install
ed shortly to speedily exhaust the bad
air they are now troubled with, which
necessitates confining the work to
one shift. Upon the installation of
the fan, double shifts will be at work,
and seven feet per day should be
broken. At this rate, within 60 days
the tunnel should reach its objective
point.
The development taking place on
Ely-Centennial should be of Intense
interest to the people of this district,
and the residents of Ely in particular,
and should be watched closely and
supported warmly for It will mean a
great deal to the town to have a pro
ducing mine at its door with a local
payroll. The success of the property
would have even more Important re
sults in stimulating outside capital In

Col. L. G. Cannon, H. A Fulmer
and Roy Ives, accompanied by Sur
veyor Backe, visited their gold prop
erty In the vicinity of Blane during
the week for the purpose of de
termining upon plans for an aggres
sive development campaign, to the
end of getting at production during
the coming summer. Mr. Backe was
along to run a line for a tunnel which
will go in to tap the vein at depth.
With the tunnel in, the property will
other properties in the immediate
neighborhood that also have merit
and are well worth awakening from
i their present lethargy.
_
be able to get at Its ore very econom
ically and quickly. It is believed that
a considerable tonnage will be made
available and that shipping from it
will be possible to extent that will
more than pay for the cost of other
development work that may be neces
sary to get the ore blocked for a
long shipping period. That the val
ues carried by the ore will well
warrant shipment, some of it run
ning into fancy figures, has been de
termined by past operations on the
property.
