New Bullion camp rise eyed near old Ballion Nevada
From Beowawe Eurek a County Aug 6 Beowawe writer for the Salt Lake Tribune reports on Charles Montgomery and his Giant mine discovery in the Ballion district Lander County 26 miles south near Crescent Valley. The camp named New Bullion lies in township 28 north range 47 east with a potential ore body large enough to warrant a $150 per ton forecast if shipments to the Salt Lake smelter from the Giant mine prove strong. The railroad station at Beowawe is the sole access point and the route is described as an excellent automobile road with ample water and easy loading access for milling.
