The railroad grade has been practically practi-cally completed into Rhyolite, and the rails will be laid just as soon as possible,; possi-ble,; but Beatty will be the terminus for at least thirty days. The company has let contracts "for grading north, and the line will be pushed. on h to Goldfield just as soon as conditions will admit.. Telegraph communication has been established with the outside world through the bringing in of the railroad. A new strike has been made in a drift from the north shaft of the Gold Bar mine at the 50-foot level. The ore runs from $571.15 to $3178.75, and is probably the richest continuous streak of ore ever opened in the Bullfrog Bull-frog district. It is being sacked for shipment. . t The Gibraltar in which many Salt Lakers are interested is taking high-grade high-grade shipping ore from Tunnel No. 2. Samples from this locality show values of $200 to $2000, while it is no difficult diffi-cult matter to get' picked staff which will run better than $20,000. Good milling values are shown throughout the various other workings of the property. be confirmed later by a yield which is expected to eclipse all previous records. According to letters from Richfield, which is a growing town being) forced to prominence ana rapid increase of population by the mining activity all about it, the Sevier Consolidated has disclosed the richest of all its phenomenal phenom-enal strikes within the last month. From the grass roots down to a depth of less than twenty-five feet a mammoth vein of ore has been revealed which runs in general values from $20 to $2000 and one sample assayed as high as $30,000, in gold. This vein is of unknown width, but from surface indications is all of fifty Individuals and companies operating in the Deep Creek region, immediately . west of Salt Lake are talking of organizing or-ganizing a railroad company to build 'a line into Garfield, so that smelting facilities may be afforded cheaply for the mines which are said to have been developed up to the shipping point. Gentlemen discussing this matter say that such a railroad could be con-structed con-structed very cheaply, and they declare there would be an enormous traffic built np for the road within a very short time. - Manager O. F. Peterson of the Dug-way Dug-way Copper company-insists that the ' property over which he presides is one of the probable large consignors of ores to the smelters if the right kind of shipping ship-ping facilities were available. There are also upward of a dozen others, fur-- fur-- thermore,- which have excellent re-, re-, sources. There is considerable belief entertained enter-tained that ultimately the Western Pa-i Pa-i cifie (Gould) company will build a . branch into the Deep Creek country, and thus render the services that the operators of the Deep Creek mines want, but nothing definite is known regarding re-garding the plans of the company, and ' the local representatives can give inquirers in-quirers no assurances at this time. The region has been traveled also by ". surveyors .running . railroad lines during dur-ing the last four months and these are feet. The cut Is now seventeen feet wide and has the ore on both sides, neither wall having yet been reaehed. This vein was discovered by Mine Superintendent James Warden, who had undertaken the examination of some croppings not over 200 feet west of the upper workings of the No. 1 level. . After scraping away the dirt, the first piece of rock broken from the ledge assayed $20. A few feet further down $100 values and better began to obtain, and in less than twenty feet of depth, in breaking up a boulder to reduce re-duce it so it could be taken out, a piece of rock weighing about a pound was broken off which furnished the $30,000 assay. The entire width of the shaft shows free gold ia every piece that is taken out, and a four-foot streak is thickly spotted all through with coarse gold flakes. This vein is a new one, independent of the others which have been receiving receiv-ing attention heretofore. The new vein can be tapped in a few hundred feet from the No. 3 tunnel at a depth of 700 feet, and running to the apex of the company's line will have a depth of 1500 feet. 'This strike places the Sevier in the lead of the bonanzas of Gold Mountain, even surpassing . its wealth-producing neighbor, the Annie Laurie," says the correspondent. x The latest discovery has been viewed by two well-known Western experts who have been examining other properties proper-ties in the district and is pronounced bv them the greatest and most sensational sensa-tional ore body they have ever seen. And they found evidences, too. that the vein goes down to great depth, one of the strong indications being the presence of iron burned into the quartz. President Tulloch, who had been at the property during the past week, reports. re-ports. "This new find." he said, "is all velvet to us. We have good high-grade ore bodies in our present workings which are producing pay rock running run-ning all the way from $10 to $2000, The mill is grinding out bullion at a most satisfactory rate, and we were perfectly satisfied with our condition even before we made this new strike. We are, of eourse, pleased beyond expression ex-pression to have found out that we possess a greater and Ticher ore body than we had dreamed of." The General Connor is developing the same vein, scarcely more than a stone's throw to the north of the Sevier Consolidated and has encountered encoun-tered some of the same class of high grade ore. The discovery was known to a number of people at the time, but wss not then made public for prudential pruden-tial reasons. Now, however, no reservation reser-vation is placed upon the information. The Gold Mountain Consolidated Mining comnany. the Kimberly Mining company, the Signal Peak Mining company, the Annie Laurie Extension and several other companies have properties along the course of the Sevier veins, and to all these corporations, corpora-tions, and owning individuals, the Sevier strikes are exceedingly significant signifi-cant and assuring that success will crown their development efforts. HEINZE GOES TO ELT. F. Aug. Heinze has gone to Ely, Nev., in company with former Senator Thomas Eearns, and on this trip the big Montana magnate will take his first view of that rich copper-producing region, which is destined, according accord-ing to the opinions of the most expert judges, to be the world's future greatest great-est producer of the red metal. Mr. Heinze and Senator Kearns started yesterday in the private car Wasatch" and were to reach the Ely station this morning. They were to immediately start upon an investigation investiga-tion of the district and as a result Heinze may identify himself with Ely in his most vigorous way. It is not known whether he has under consideration consid-eration any particular property, although al-though it is said that he has been willing will-ing to invest if property should be found available that would suit his purposes. TRAINS SUNNING TO BEATTY. A telegram this morning from Rhyolite, Rhyo-lite, Nev., says that the program outlined out-lined for the celebration of Railroad day was carried out Tuesday and Wednesday, and that trains are now running into Beatty regularly. The visitors from . Los Angeles and Salt Lake were treated to rides throughout the diptriet in fifteen automobiles and inspected what are believed to be the . believed to be for the San Pedro, los Angeles & Salt Lake (Clark)-eompany, which is suspected of having an inten- tion of extending a branch over into Deep Creek from some point in the Tin-tie Tin-tie country, which its main line traverses. trav-erses. The mining men say that naturally nat-urally the construction of one road into Deep Creek would force another and ' perhaps a third 'within the succeeding three or four years and that the railroad . situation is so acute anyhow in the matter of competition that Deep Creek must have not only one but other rail- roads soon. Therefore everybody over there with a good-looking prospect is developing the same to the best of his ability. During Dur-ing the last month the drift on the 200-foot 200-foot level of the Dugway Copper company's com-pany's property has been extended fifty-three feet through ore all the way of a low grade averaging 4 per cent copper and this drift is expected soon to divulge the vein of rich ore which - was found some time ago on the 100-topt' 100-topt' level, and which carries at that . point copper to the extent of 15 per cent. iWhen the high. grade is reached and sufficient tonnage extracted a shipment will likely be. made and if it be found , ' tsat this ore can be wagoned to the ! nearest point on the Nevada Northern and profitably handled the remainder of the distance to the Garfield smelters, . retmlar shipments will be made, and the low grades left in the stopes until there are - more satisfactory transportation transpor-tation facilities for it. OPTIMISTIC EEPOETS. From all sources Salt Lake is hearing hear-ing most optimistic reports of the Greenwater and Yerington copper districts dis-tricts of southwestern and western Nevada. Ne-vada. Greenwater is the scene of extraordinary ex-traordinary excitement and capitalists are flocking in by the score, attracted by the large veins and the possibilities there for developing big properties capable of yielding large tonnages of very high grade, with big profit. Much Salt Lake capital is going into this -, district, and some of the most experienced experi-enced operators are among them. Gold-field Gold-field operators also are investing in prospects there in the meantime, and Butte, is conspicuously interested. Tbe cream of the properties at Green- water is defined by the Copper Blue . claim, on which Patsy Clark has made a : phenomenal strike, and the Anxiety and ' Copper 8hoe claims, adjoining the Cop- per Blue and showing a continuation of. its great ledge. And it is agreed by ' all the experts on the ground that when . the Anxiety and Copper Shoes proper-; proper-; ties are started toward development, an ' event to take place within the next ten i days, the Furnace Creek South Exten-j Exten-j sion, owned bv the L. M- Sullivan Trust company of Goldfield,. will prove that 'Greenwater is an undoubted leader 1 among all the coppef districts of five continents. - - j- ...

Mr. Booklidge also said that all of the large operating companies in the Yer-ineton Yer-ineton district are working with a will and a great deal of rich ore is being be-ing shipped. - y , Everything is moving m a way that insures big doings in the future and. with" a fertile valley to draw upon and treat streams and lakes of water at , the disposal of the miners, farmers ' and ranchmen, there is nothing lacking to make the country the most productive produc-tive of copper and gold during the -next few years there is in the entire State of Nevada. ----- GREAT 8TEIKE REPORTED.
