Cal Cw Aug 22 That there Is JE opper copper hero here In paying quantity there thero Is no doubt Tho The wonderful showing has excited the whole mining world of both California and Nevada There has bas been beena as a many as a n half halt dozen automobiles In this place at a time during durin the last week weak They come como mostly from Tonopah loaded with Uh the leading mining men of that city Last week Malcolm McDonald sent Pro lessor Jenney Jenne Into camp to make a mm and geological report on the country and the tho cost of the automobile Amounted mount d to for a 0 trip and 30 for each day the tho auto was detained there hero while tho professor was completing Investigation I Three Towns In Evidence TOO most prominent town at this time tin ln this country Is known as Copperfield It IB Is far up among tho the mines min along a MUll tho the hardest piece of road in this 1 desert One ODe other othor town that of ot 1 baa bas bCD started farther down the and Is more easy of access That town up 11 as one may say In mushroom shape haD Tor for on tho th evening be toro fore there was us no Indication of a town on en tho the following morning numerous tents had bad been boon erected and business was waz being conducted In nearly all ali of ot them Thero Thera is 18 somo DOmo talk of establishing an anto othar othir to the th west and In the tho vicinity of ot the Patsy Patzy Clerk Clark mines but It Is hinted that this company Is 16 not at all partial to but is LB hare hero for or mining minim and that it IB la doing and ond confining Itself to that From the tho notoriety that this district has Iia gained ed one ono would think that this town tatt was ono on of considerable but It Jt Is L B not Greenwater contains JOB Jos than twenty tw tents Including even the of OX tho prospectors There Thoro Is Isa Isa isa a ham bora The Tha prices range In con with rath the th isolated position of tho the thol l piece p eA A is run in connection with store storo and the tho meals are 1 while hoard board can be ho had hod for tor 45 per month There Thoro were two saloons here yesterday but today there Is but one A man by tho name nomo of or Phelps arrived with a 0 whole outfit along wong those lines ho opened up upion on ion tho the bit plan and WId the other othet follow fellow wont Wout out of ot business The whole town few exceptions celebrated for they toad Iad teen been In tho the habit qt putting up their for tor their mornings morning Water Costs Money The Tho greatest drawback to the camp at Present is the tho want of an adequate water supply Tho The water is hauled In fn from a distance of miles and amI ped dIed to the citizens at nt 15 cents a gallon 75 15 cents rents for tor a can or for a barrel and It is not always one can get water It is safe safo to tolay toay lay aay ay that were the teamster to give glye his all the water they required on the trip lIe he would reach camp with little lor or the tho people There Thero Is talk of ot getting water from Ash Meadows and it will have to be pumped Into the respective amps camps a distance of something like miles Greenwater Is connected with the out Fide world now tu by the KImball line of traces that formerly ran n Las La Vegas V egas and Bullfrog mining district The rho faro fare Is higher on this line we believe than what it is on any an stage stags line hue in this or any othor other country Your correspond correspondent ent used a n pedometer on tho the road in and hf hr h determined the distance as being be tween thirty and miles mUes from to Johnnie siding on the Senator Clark Tonopah line for which the th stage company expects from each passenger the extortionate fare of or 15 IS for the trip one way wn Everybody does doos not stand for tho the game gams so they the come In and go out on foot toot by b freight teams and by any am way other than on the tho stage al although alt although t though it must be said sald that the stage is not net suffering for patronage even eyon at the prices exacted Ground Is 15 Gobbled Up It can CLUI be he safely stated here that very ver nearly all of the ground within a rea rca reasonable distance of ot the copper leads and ledges has been located and filed upon Ground of or any kind and description is and when there is a vacant piece found It le Is soon noon taken into the fold raId by one ono of the tho many prospectors who are aro aroI I taU all about the district running lines lIn s and booking up corners The claims of or this district have all been taken up in large largo groups none of or the tho large companies hav hay ing less leBS than claims and und It Is reported there Is one that controls as many as Even In the very VOl face faco of the large companies having gotten control of so 50 much ground there is many a prospector who got In at the proper time and In the proper place and as a great groat many say holding for tor a that will give glo them the stake for tor life liCe for tor which they have so BO long waited The ground is staked in very every direction of the tho compass for miles even ven to tho the slightest indication of ruin min mineral i eral although there is a place once in a awhile awhile while whilo that has been overlooked by b those thos Who were ravenous In running out lines and establishing esta corners A country was never 1 staked out as Is the Greenwater wand rand we believe that no country will ever eve be he again The Tho way wa that ground has ha been located here has established est the fact that tha other laws should be enacted so 50 as a t to prohibit any anyone one man or corporation from fron locating a whole empire as has irna certainly been dono done in tills this district District Organized on Sunday A mining district was organized here In ir July before your correspondent got onto ont the ground The Tho singular part was thAt tha all aU of the business was transacted on ou a aSunda Sunday Sunda and a great gr many have doubts ae os to the legality of the proceedings Dr Benson was selected chairman and A J JI I Messer secretary B 13 H Donnolly Donnoll and anid C CE CE CE E Blunt tellers There were seventy sev nine votes cast for district recorder of which Davidson received and andA andA andA A L Nelson Nelson was de declared dared cared elected and he h now transacts acts the duties of ot the position rO i as ns to whether it is 15 of legal standing In the eyes yes of or the law or 01 not A constitution and bylaws b I wH of oC tho the district was adopted which provides for defining the boun boundaries boundaries boundaries daries of claims by monuments of stone or by a post three feet high hi h within thirty days and the claim must be re recorded recorded recorded corded within ninety days das It is said that there was qute a rivalry during the day and that what vehicles could be brought Into play were used in hauling miners minArs rs and prospectors from their loca ben I to vote and back again and even for all of that the vote was close and exciting Since that time It would be safe safa to say there has not been that num ber of men in camp at any anyone one time even up to and Including the writing of this article Surface Ores Are Rich This promises to t be a great copper camp The ore comes right up to the surface and 20 per cent cerl ore can be found in almost any of the big bis bl mines mince of the camp Ore could be shipped even eyen at this time were transportation facilities facUlties more convenient The deepest shaft is that th t on the tho Patsy Clark properties and it is down feet It looks well and carries Its values nearly regular for tor that distance It is showing up well in the tho bottom bottomS yet and sinking continues In all aU of the other claims of the district there has been bC n lit little lIttie littie tie tle it If any work done but the large com companies companies panics have commenced now along real mining lines They have h ve been busy de do defining defining fining the meets and bounds of their ground and quite a force of surveyors have been employed There is IB no telling what there IB Is in the ground round other than from the surface indications which are of ofa ofa ofa a red oxide copper varied all the way from 2 per cent as high as 33 per cent and the values alums in both gold g ld and silver are aro aregood aregood good gold predominating and going it is said about the ton Men who have given this question consideration claim that the will wiIl more than pay all an of the expenses tenses of milling and ex cx extraction extraction traction The mineral zone is IB about fit fifteen fifteen teen miles long by about five miles mUes wide and It may be even ven greater but this much we do know Anyone Anono coming Into the camp and arid sizing up the situation and the conditions as they are would certainly conclude that there was enough copper ore In the Funeral Range of mountains to supply the world without the aid or assistance of 01 any other state or nation the pioneer class prospectors and minors miners rs Many Butte Men In Camp There are a n great many people here of the pioneer class and miners from every camp but they are out pros prospecting prospecting In the hills and not telling hot air tales about the brush fires of an even ing Jug Butte is well represented as also Is the Nevada gold fields and In fact some somo of the Tonopah people are the lest iest Investors and they to a 0 great ex cx tent supply the sinews of war that makes the whole revolve The and the Gillies the McDonalds and Ed Connolly the tho lined up tip with Senator Clark and Heinze Patsy Clark and Charley Chancy Booth as well as with Senator Mantle fall of Montana Every man of ot them knows knoss a copper field and they are arc not slow In gaining and securing representation In this mining camp and an interest in the mines The mining district of Greenwater is not nota a poor mans camp but for tor all that it is isa Isa isa a country that will make the rich richer and an opportunity for giving employ employment employment employment ment to untold numbers of o the poorer class at fair tall and remunerative wages Greenwater will exceed Butte Mont in the amount of copper production if sur face Indications amount to anything |
