Show ON A HUNT FORCAMELS Arc Said Be Rnnnlng Wild in Desert of Southern Nevada. RENO, Nev., Dec It A party of men passed through this city to Tonopah and Goldfleld yesterday, where they will endeavor en-deavor to organize a company to capture the camels In the deserts of southern Nevada Ne-vada and use them in packing freight between be-tween Tonopah. Goldfleld and other mining min-ing camps In that portion of the State. There ares no railroads and very few teams In the deserts in that mining district dis-trict and it is thought that camels will supply the means of transportation better bet-ter than anything else. There are a large number of camels near Tonopah and they could be easily captured. These camels were brought, to Nevada in 1S54 by MaJ. , Henry C, Wayne, acting under orders ! from -the United States Government. It was thought that they would be better than horses and they were used for years in carrying wood from the mountains to the Virginia mines and salt from Washoe City to Virginia City. |
