likely to be sold. A deal is on for the
sale Of the mine, and if the examina-
tons that are to be. made within the
next thirty days prove satisfactory,
considerably over a majority of the
stock, which has been pooled, will go
to the purchasers at 81 a share, which

reference to it. They have been asked

WEST TINTIc ON THE BOOM.
Good Ore Finds Being Made and
Much Work Going On.

The possibilities Of the West Tfntic
district are becoming better known as
the days go by, and in a section which
men by the score are now making a
scramble to get a foothcld.
William Reich, who, with his brother,
is working the Dalton-Index ground
under lease and bond, came in from
the diggings yesterday morning to
spend a few days with his family ere
going into camp for a fall and winter
campaign of development work.
Adjoining the two claims which the
Reich brothers have leased and bonded,
four more have been taken up by them
and by the time the roads are open
next spring they expect to have a
large amount of ore on the dump ready
for shipment. They have a tunnel in
thirty feet on the ledge, and in that
short distance a good showing of high
grade silver-lead ore has been made.
Mr.. Reich says that aside from the
almost sensational showing being made
in the Eutonia, Messrs. P. H. Talon,
w. d. Began and others are also in
easy distance of big bonanzas. Ore can
be found almost anywhere in the West
Tintic district and Mr.. Reich believes
that the history of old Tintic will be
duplicated in the section twenty miles
west, but it will not be so long coming
to the front.
On the eastern edge of the West Tin
tic range, Mr.. Reich reports, good val
ues in gold have recently been discov-
cred, and from what he has been able
to learn, rich strikes from that section
are likely to be made any day.

RICH GOLD ROCK IN NEW STATE.
Sample Assays Running From Six
to Ten Ounces.

Since the opening up of the twelve
inch pay streak of ore in the New State
three weeks ago, the ore has been fol-
lowed in for twenty feet. One of the
stockholders who recently secured 100
pounds or more of ore from the cross
cut, has had some snmpling done on his
own account. One thirty pound lot
which had been selected with a view to
getting good average of the whole
streak, showed nearly ten ounces of
gold and 3 per cent copper, while. an
other sample, secured day or two af-
terward, showed the presence of over
six ounces, and the lowest returns the
gentleman in question got from any
rock which he had tested, went $50
to the ton.
The ore is still being followed, with
strong indications that it will widen
out as the main ledge is approached.
The owners of the New State are not
giving out anything from official head
quarters, and it is only through indi
vidual members of the company, who
occasionally get their hands on some of
the rock now being mined, that any
idea of the value of the recent strike
can be obtained. There is no reason,
however. to doubt the correctness of
the figures given herewith, for some of
the ore from which tests were after
were made was being exhibited by the
gentleman, who had the work done the
day the ore came from the mine, and
free gold was observable all through
the rock

RABBITS FOOT SHOWING.
Good Body of High-grade Copper Ore
Disclosed.
Especial Correspondence

Silver City, Sept. THE conditions
that prevail at the Rabbits Foot sure
ly indicate that Manager McGahan has
the making of a very rich mine. Dur
ing the last few days Mr.. McGahan has
opened or rather been able to define
the extent of his ore chute, which may
conservatively be estimated at a width
varying from twenty to thirty inches
showing copper values as high as 40
per cent, with silver values running
from so to 120 ounces. The ore bins and
platforms, together with the trackage,
was completed yesterday, and this
morning Mr.. McGahan has eight men
stripping ore and hosting, perhaps
ten or fifteen tons now being on top.
Recently in drifting northward from
the $50 a cross ledge has been encoun-
tered, which discloses high lead values,
apparently. but no test has been made
at all for other values Mr.. McGahan
was exhibiting some pieces of ore this
morning, chunks that measured fully
twenty or twenty-four inches in width,
of almost clean ore, carbonate of cop
per-copper glance, azurite and mala-
chite With the possible exception of
the Tesora, the writer knows of no
other copper showing in quantity that
will in any way compare with the faces
of mineral exposed in the Rabbits Foot.
At present conditions are not as favor
able as they should be to insure work
ing more men, but as soon as some
necessary timbering is done they will
have some fine Stopping ground. Mr.. Nc
Gahan believes he can turn out from a
car to a car and a half of ore each
week

MAORI RACE DYING OUT.
Drunkenness, immortality and s1oth

Pacific cable.
The Maori race in New Zealand is fast
dying out. AT a diocesan synod in We'll
lington, clergymen of the Taraniki district
who appealed strongly for assistance in
the work among the Maoris, gave a sad
description of the state of things prevail
ing in many places. Drunkenness, immor--
al1ty and sloth are the chief enemies of
the race. According to the last census re-
turns in April, 1896, the number of Maoris
was 1854, and it was calculated that dur
ing the previous five years there had been
an apparent decrease of 2, 139.
A terrible accident Is reported from
Fort Mahonga, just outside Wellington,
N u. Some members of the local torpedo
corps were detailed to remove an old cleo
trio lighting pant 1t was found neces-
sary to explode big charge of guncotton.
The sapping party, consisting of Sergeant
Olive, Corporal Black and Sappers Head
and league, set the mine, and had just lit
the fuse, when the charge Drematureiy
exploded. The force of the explosion was
terrific. When the smoke and dust cleared
away it was found that the little sapping
party had been practically annihilated.
Sergeant Olive, Corporal Black and Sap
per Tea que were blown to pieces. Sapper
Head was seriously injured

APRIL FOOL DIVIDEND.
So. 900 Ordered Paid to the Stock
holders Yesterday.

President William Thompson OF the

James B. Leggat, one of the directors
of the company, and Frank L. Sizer,
consulting engineer. came in from De
Lamar, Nev., yesterday morning, and
registered at the Knuesford. Thesgen-
tlernen named came down from Butte
early in the month, and left at once
Tor the great gold producer which they
and their associates purchased from
Frank Wilson something over a month
ago.
During the day a meeting of the di-
rectors was held, and, aside from the
routine business transacted. a dividend
of i cent a share. or $1,000 was declared,
and ordered paid. The company's
amended articles Of incorporation,
which, among other things, provide for
an increase of the number of shares
from 100000 to 100000 and a. decr<ase
OF their par value from IS to 81, were
ordered filed with the county clerk
After the meeting President Thornp-
son left for Butte, While Messrs. Leg
gat and Sizer remained over for a day
or two's rest and recreation.
Last evening Mr.. Sizer said the party
had made a thorough inspection of the
mine. and were well satisfied with the
outlook No immediate increase in the
capacity of the mill, he said, is contem-
plated, as ali attention is now being di-
recfed toward the further development
of the mine.
The April Fool adjoins the great De
Lamar mine, and, in the hands OF the
aggressive and broad-gauge men who
now own ii, time only is necessary to
make it a strong rival of its neighbor.
