]. L. Boiler Tells of the Sale Of
Tonopah Mines.

]. L. Butler, discoverer Of the To-
nopah mining district in Nye county,
Nevada, which promises to eclipse
Cripple Creek, is at the st. Nicholas
says the San Francisco Examiner.
On Monday he disposed Of five loca-
tons made by himself and friends to
D. A. Turner of Grass Valley for
$336.OoO. A cash payment Of $780,
600 was made in the transfer
of the property. On October
4th a second payment of $loo,o 900 is
to be made and on December 10th the
final payment of $4,000 is due.
Butler has interests in many other
claims in the district, which he says
are just as good as the ones he sold.
Those associated with the discoverer
of the lodges are W. Brougher. T. Il.
Oddie, w. C. Gayhart and B. F.
Higes. a9k
"lf was a hog said Butler. al
probably could have got 900
for the property, but an offer was made
me and my associates and it was good
enough to be accepted. We only did
three months work in developing the
property, and 1896. 900 is good pay to
US for that much labor"
The mines are in the San Antonio
range of mountains, about sixty miles
from Sodaville, the nearest railway de-
pot. The ore. Butler says is very like

tons bringing a return from the smelt-
ing works Of $92, II. All the lodges,
he adds, are we'll defined and in some
places the groupings extend for nearly
a thousand feet.
