Show Nippeno's Diggings Show inch Ore Latest Advices From Southern Camp Indicate Tremendous Rush Into Region. Of G R Cleaveland, who fled from tho thrill of urban life several weeks' ago to seek h bonanza along tho margins of the San Pedro Nlppeno, tho new camp In southern California, has made another captive and when he returns It will be with the deed to one of the camp's most meritorious discoveries, that was recently recent-ly acquired by him In n letter to Col. Tom Pitt Of this city, Mr. Cleaveland write... that the camp is undoubtedly one of the liveliest Of the clUKter which Is now Contending for the mastery, and that th'- rush into it is hourly Increasing the population popu-lation Among the arrivals are miners from ail the camps in Nevada's districts of gold nnd silver, those who have had time to fathom conditions al Nlppeno pronouncing pro-nouncing It as good a any and superior to the average. Of these many have staked off claims and Inaugurated work, while in Mr Cleveland's acquisition he has at grass roots four feet of ore, the assays from which certify to an average of 80 per cent lead with 0 ounces silver and (Z.'ki gold per ton It is this upon whl.h active development will begin at In the first number Of the Times, a new publication which has mado its appearance appear-ance In the district, appears the suh-jolncd suh-jolncd concerning tho region and Its si rue t are : Wherever tho prospector has gone within a radius of ten miles he h :i - come In contact with good mineral-hearing ore. The deposits nro of enormous size and the remarkable feature Is the great outcrops that show aseay values of from 1640 to $.r.M.n to tho ton. The Times has no hesitancy hesi-tancy In making tho prophecy that the Crescent deposit will be a greater producer pro-ducer of the yellow metal In the next six months ihan Qoldfleld and will outshine out-shine Huiifrog district as the destined haven for capital to seek returns on Its display of confidence Conceive, for Instance, In-stance, a p'Tphv t itle quaitzlto outcrop een feet wide and .1i feet long assaying fn-ni end to end and from side line to s.V line fr..m VP to j:'40 per ton. picked samples soaring Info the thousands of dollars dol-lars per ton. The Las Vegas Times some six we.-ks ago prophesied that the people of southern Nevada were upon the thresh-hold thresh-hold of one of the greatest mining sensations sensa-tions the world had ever known, and the Crescent district verifies this confident statement. Of COUrSe, at that lime, these Indications were not definitely located at Crescent, but in it neighborhood in addition to the enormous dyke particularly par-ticularly mentioned there Is a continuation continua-tion of the same character of mineralized deposits for mill tt around No depth has been attained upon any of these discoveries discov-eries but from all Indications considering consider-ing formation there is no ci u t on us to depth This is farther substantiated bv the fact that the Searchlight mines belong to Ins same mineral zone, nnd in mining min-ing parlanco these grow richer as they attain depth Tho Bearchllght formation Is similar |
