Show RAWHIDE, NEV., HAS HOPES OF ACTIVITY nawhlde, at one time the state's most spectacular mining camp, where 10,000 erenarious people assembled almost over night, will probably be all that its most earnest advocates proclaimed more than ten years ago if present indications count, savs the Walker Lake Bulletin. For a long time desultory work has been in progress in the district, and many Individual In-dividual efforts have been richly rewarded in ore shipments. The fullness of these returns and the fact that the metal markets mar-kets have assumed a new level, incline to create a new incentive in the minds of mining men interested In Rawhide to again take up development work abandoned aban-doned several years ago. Ray Stoddard, trustee for the Nevada New Mines company, Harry Scheeline and Alex M. Royle, all of Reno, were in Rawhide Raw-hide last week. Mr. Stoddard sold the holdings of the company to satisfy a judgment obtained recently by the Scheeline Schee-line Banking & Trust company, Mr. Scheeline bidding in the property for the amount involved in the judgment. Coincidentiy Mr. Scheeline made the announcement that the work of sinking the shaft from tha present level of 600 feet to a depth of 1000 feet would begin at once. The project will be actively mannged by Mr. Scheeline and Ray Baker, director of the federal mints. |
