Lan !
mining district, 30 miles south of
Battle mountain, on the main line |
nd 24 ;
of the Central Pacific Ry.. a
miles from Beowawe station, where
travelers take stages for the camp.
Thirty years ago it was a prosper
ous silver mining camp, reputed to
have produced $15,000,000. Since
, the rise in silver and the boom in
Southern Nevada, the mines are
being reopened,
pectors running over Nevada, since
the discoveries at Tonopah, Gold
field and Bullfrog, invaded this dis
trict farther north and near the
But the pros- 1
geographical center of the stateand
soon discovered that the lower ly
ing foothills lying east of the old
silver belt were marvelously rich in
gold. Since then many gold pro
perties have Deen opened up.
Our two friend? got in there last
year and located several claims
which they think, and we hope,
may turn out to he valuable. Eck
man has remained there and earn
ed the money to keep them repre
sented by keeping a restaurant, now
having 40 to 50 steady hoarders.
The townsite of Lander has been
patented and platted and is now
one of Nevada's booming towns,
possessing the advantage of having
a plentiful supply of pure water, a
mountain stream coursing through
the town Daily stages run be
tween there and the railway making j
trips in less than four hours, and
line of automobiles is soon to be
put on.
But since Lander has started
V
a
another camp has come to the
front only three miles from there,
even richer than Lander, and
has several mines already with
shipping ore said to be fabulous
ly rich, the deposits resembling
those at Bullfrog. The new camp
is called Tenabo. It is, however,
out on a desert, and at present !
I
gets its supply of water by haul-j
ing it from Lander, that corao
Nevada style, but the weather j
has been very disagreeable, and
it is anticipated that a bigger
iusb will begin as soon as spring
opens. !
Thanks to our boys for copies j
of Battle Mountain and Austin
dity fetching a dollar a barrel in
the camp.
Prospectors, miners and specu
lators are beginning to flock in
to these camps in the customary
\
papers.

The north side of the Twin Falls
I tract recently taken up by the com
pany under the Carey Act, adds
igo,000 acres more of fine agricul
tural lauds to the original scheme
which has been so successfully car
ried out within the past four years.
All of these lands are located on
the north side of Snake river, and
extend from the dam at Milner
j wegl miles to Gooding station
on t be g bo rt Line railway,
company will at once begin the
construction of an electric railway

The

tractors on the canal can have sup
j P lie8 al,d equipments cheaply de
1 livered and locators will be provid
The lauds
ed with transportation,
are to be opened for location April
! 15. The construction of the canals
:
j will be considerably more costly
than were those on the south side
of the river, as cuts will have to be
made through a number of ridges
by which available tracts aresepar
| ated, but large reservoir sites will
! to tide over any deficiency in the
supply from the river. Large bodies
be secured where water can be stored
of these lands are equal in every
! respect to the best of those on the
south side of the river. The com
bined area of these lands, constitute
the Twin Falls irrigation enterprise
1 the largest inaugurated, we believe,
on this continent.
The company has retained the
services of R. M. McCollum, who
did such wonderful work in getting
the south side of the tract peopled
with such energetic and progressive
commissioner,
could not have been secured.
Although active work on this
great project has scarcely been be
gun, already Milner, at the site of
the dam, is preparing to put on
metropolitan airs, and a tine hotel
is soon to be constructed as well as
settlers, to do the same for this
newer north side, and has also se
cured Major Fred R. Reed to act in
the capacity of its general land
Two better men
fine company offices etc., and the
town has begun to grow. At the
same time Shoshone is feeling the
influence which the settlement of
the lands between the town arid the
river will have and is beginning to
take on a new life, while Gooding
now only a railway station, is soon
to become an important town, the
western entrance to what is to be
come one of the most important
agricultural and manufacturing
communities and centers in the en
tire west, which with the Minidoka
government reclamation undertak
the entire Snake river
