Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1901-08-03

There are over 5000, sacks of
ore piled up awaiting transporta-
ton. This makes it hard on the leas-
ers. At least twenty l2-animal teams
can find steady employment.
The Reno Journal is out in neat,
new stylish dress, regular summer
style. 1t is the best paper in Nevada
to-day and Dennis & Bingham are
dead next when it comes to run
ming newspaper.
Every house in the town should be
protected from fire by having a
Stempel fire eXtinguisher in it.
Wesley Stewart is the sole agent for
this county. A fire in this town, and
the burning of the camp, can be
averted by few of these extiuguish-

The Clifford Group Sold.

After persistent efforts on the
part of T. J. Lynch, a prominent min
ing man of Tonopah, he has sue
eeeded in interesting Salt Lake City
capital to invest in Tonopah mining
property One thousand dollars
was placed in the Bank of Tonopah
on Tuesday to be placed to ule
credit of the house of Cliffords to ap-
ply on payment of the Stone abin
Wandering Boy and Lucky Jim min
ing claims, the balance of the pur-
chase price to be paid when final ex-
ecution of deeds to above property is
made. The new company will erect
gasoline hoist at once and sink sew
eral hundred feet to explore the hid
den treasures. The property pur-
chased joins the Butler group ON
both ends of the famous Valley View
ledge that has produced over 800,
600 to date. The names of the new
owners will be given in our next issue.
The first machinery for this camp is
now in transit from Salt Lake

The Klondike Mines.

A reporter of the BONANZA re-
IDENTITY visited these much talked of
rich mines and was surprised to find
the large amount of development
work done ON the different locations.
The mines are situate about fourteen
miles south of this place and are in
the porphyry belt. On location "a
j. and Eldred More have a lease that
has netted them snug sum of money
A shipment of eleven tons was re-
Gently made that assayed 600 oz in
silver The ledge is four feet wide
and the gold is found in the carbonate
Considerable work has been done on
"B" location The main incline is
down l40 feet in strong ledge the
entire depth. Considerable black
metal is found in this ledge, it assay
ing very high in silver and $llO in
gold. The South incline is now down
30 feet with rich ore in the bottom
assaying 400 oz silver and $40 in gold
The drifts on this ledge from where
the tunnel encounters it are very rich
in gray carbonates. Eli Sweiger
and George Ladd have lease on the
upper workings of this location and
are extracting rich ore.
In the &C. and''D tunnel, dividing
line, there is well defined quartz
ledge II feet vide, thickly sandwiehed
with high grade gray carbonate and
black metal. This ore mills $50 oz.
silver.
Several other locations belonging
to this group of mines are showing up
good ore, The Klondike mines are a
wonderful group and rich mineral
deposit. A company operating these
mines would become fabulously
wealthy. Reduction works could be
erected three miles below the mines
where an abundance of water can be
had. The property is for sale and is
pwned by Senator Bell and James
Court In our opinion it is very val
liable property.

He Saves the Lives Of Many People.

Charley Ganong saved the lives of
$50 people in Tonopah, Tuesday. He
arrived with load of groceries for
John Turner, and did so just in time,
FOR this camp was upon the brink of a
famine So eager where the people
to secure something for their larders
that il reminded one of the wild do
ings in the San Francisco call stock
board. All of the goods were sold on
the street in front of the store and in
one hour after they were unloaded
four buckets of lard were the only re-
naming articles of the wagon load of
merchandise, People were going in
all direction to their homes packing
Our Taste hams, four cases were sold
in twenty minutes. Cases of toma-
toes and other canned goods would
have brought fancy prices had the
merchant asked them, but all was
sold at the regular rates. Later in
the day Lothrop & Davis received ten
sacks of potatoes and a wild rush was
made for them, they were sold in Fifty
cent lots that all might have mouth
full To-day their is not a sack of
-four in town and has not been for
several days. There are only four
beeves left and water is getting
scarce, 1t looks as though famine
was about to claim us. Those coming
here should come well supplied with
provisions.

Officers OF the Tonopah Mining Company.

The following item of interest taken
from the Smyrna Call, published at
Smyrna, Delaware, Tuesday, July
18th, is of interest to the residents of
Tonopah and the people of the State
in general:
There was chartered last week
under the laws of Delaware the Ton
opah Mining Company of Nevada,
with capital of 5000, 600 preferred
stock, and $ll0, 900 common stock

names signed to the organization
being John w. Woodside, John +.
Anderson and B. A. HAZEL, of Phila
delphia, for the purpose of purchasing
and woking the greatest mining
bonanzas that has been discovered
on the American continent. and which
far exceeds in value at this stage of
the developement, the famous Com
stock mines and it is generally be-
lieved by mining people that this
new camp will shortly rival Denver.
Up to the present time over
5000, 900 has been taken out of this
property without the aid of any ma
chinery, and when the company have
completed their plant for working
800 tons of ore per day the net pro
duct will be over 81 900. 900 per
month, as the ore is in vast quantities
ranges from $40 to several thousand
dollars per ton in value. We under
stand that only limited amount of

that has been taken by the parties
interested and their friends. Mr..
Herman p Hazel. of Smyrna, is the
Delaware director of the company.

A Midnight Gun Play.

Last Monday morning about
/ o'clock Frank McAllister entered
the Mizpah saloon and drawing a re-
volver and applying a vile epithet to
the night bartender threatened to
perforate his carcass if he did not
get behind the bar and give him
drink About half hour be-
fore McAllister was in the saloon and
asked for a drink but being under
the influence of liquor was refused by
the bartender who told him he had
had enough to drink VIM McDon-
aid, who was presiding over the bar,
during the absence of J.C. Humphrey,
was sitting near the stove and
when the demand and the gun was
thrust into his face he arose and
walked toward the bar and watching
his opportunity, grabbed the pistol
and struck McAllister on the head.
Telling him to the floor, and as the be-
ligerant arose he raped him over
the Uranium the second time, Meal
lister finally got up and had his
wounds dressed by doctor. If the
time has come when a bartender in
this town has to look down a cooked
gun--for that is what Mcdonald had
to do-every time he sees fit to re-
fuse a drunken man drink it is time
halt was called, and at least twelve
or fifteen business men of this town
should be appointed Deputy Sheriffs
to see that law and order prevails and
the Sheriff has been asked to appoint
that number of the business element
of Tonopah as deputies This town
has always been an orderly one and
the better element propose that it
shall con ntinue so. Mcdonald swore
to complaint and McAlllster was
arrested and asked for a ten DAYS
continuance that he might procure
counsel. He gave a $50 cash bond
and the hearing will take place at
the expiration of the ten days. We
hold no enmity against McAllister
| but his lawless act was uncalled for.
his drunkenness being no excuse.
There is a class of citizens here, many
of whom claim to be the prisoners
| friend vow that such uncaled for acts
will not be tolerated, for if they are,
no mans life is safe in Tonopah, and
especially those of saloon men. When
person is justified in drawing a
pistol and discharging it at another,
he is upheld by the law, but when an
unprovoked and objectionable attack
is made the offender should suffey for
his guilt The scooter few here re.
alize that "a gun play don't go in this
mans town the sooner they will be-
come good citizens and see the effects
of an orderly camp which this place
will and shall be.

Mr.. Lawson's Lack Of Tact.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is much to he regretted that MIR.
Lawson has not been gifted with more
tact. He has money to burn in many
WAYS. but he seems rather lost to the
amenities of the situation and ignores
the rules that are laid down for the
game in which he wishes or did wish to
enter. II need not he said that the Cup
races are contests between clubs COM
POSED OF gentlemen and that they should
hc on the highest plane possible. We are
not likely to forget soon the Indignation
aroused by Lord Dunraven's unfounded
assertions Of fraud when he lost the Cnp
the last time. Yachting is bit above
the ethic of the prize ring and II is
conducted under regulations perfectly
well known to all. There is no compnl-
sion on any one TO enter for the honor
Of defending. but he who seeks il should
compor himself with that dignity which
the situation demands.
Every consideration leads MS to rejoice
that there is a bright prospect that thu
new Hcrreshoff boat will carry the colors
in the coming Cup races and, we trust
to victory.
