I NEVADA GAMP CAPTURES ZION Local Interests Obligate Themselves to Pay Big- Money for Bright Prospects. THE visit of M. M. Johnson, field manager for Samuel Newhouse, to the new discoveries at Mountain City. New, will probably culminate culmi-nate In the purchase by Mr. Newhouse and local associates of tho Greenback and Kunz Boys group In that camp. The examination of the mines and sampling of the ores, said Mr. Johnson on his return from the diggings yesterday, yes-terday, was a very satisfactory one, some of the assays showing as much as 1500 ounces of sliver with gtild values that approximated the sensational, while nothing Into which he looked but afforded support to the original conviction con-viction that the camp has foundation for one of the most productive In the State. In the acquisition of the Greenback Green-back Mr. Johnson and his associates are required to dig up no less than $150,000 in the acquisition of tho properties prop-erties and will under the options begin active work at once. With the camp Mr. Johnson ls most favorably Impressed, Im-pressed, and that he has commended conclusive evidence of Its merits. He has no doubt of its ultimate productive-ncss. productive-ncss. The Greenback ktoup has at the depth of a few feet opened up ore that justifies Mr. Johnson In recommending an Investment of $100,000, while for the Kunz group he and his associates will pay $50,000. On each of the properties the initial payment has been made, the remainder to arrive as they mature. The ledges In the new camp, said Mr. Johnson, arc well defined, the conditions, condi-tions, including water and fuel, are ideal, and with means with which to prosecute development as it has been projected there is no doubt of results. It Is known that with Mr. Newhouse is associated some of the most prominent mining men In the city, and with his patronage the camp's growth should be progressive and permanent. During the visit to It by Mr. Johnson John-son the new mill on the Nelson group of mines was put Into commission on ores of excellent quality and the results should soon be moBt profitable to Pittsburg Pitts-burg Interests who have Invested there.
