MENTION OF THE MINES.
All the Companies Heading For
Lower Levels.


It'll a cheerful thing to the people of
this town to hear the Gold Hill whis-
tie blow regularly every day, as it
shows that that promising property
is in fair way of being developed
on large scale.
The new hoist and engine Is giving
excellent results and the shaft is 90
ing down as quickly as steel and pow
der can drive it. 1t viii be contin
ued to at least ! 200 feet with the
present hoist, and at the 800 foot
Level cross cutting will begin.
The veins on this property are
nearly perpendicular, so it will not
take much prosecuting to strike the
one which crops on the surface close
to the shaft The ore in this ground
is Identical to that in the Mizpah, 50
when the property is well opened up,
in year or so it should be one of the
greatest producers in this camp, as
it is not confined to any one ledge,
there being at least six on the pro
perty.
OhiO-TOn0pah.
With the new steam hoist working
perfectly, the Ohio Tonopah people
are going down from the 80 foot
point. The ground is getting harder
and is full of seams of calcite. These
must lead to defnable bodies of ore,
which may be reached sooner than
expected Operations at the works
present conclusive demonstration
of the superior effectiveness, as
everyone knows, of steam over gas
engines, as well as its great economy
The total cost every twenty-four
hours for wood and water amounts
to just S. 5. OF course, as only the
work of sinking the shaft is now be-
ing prosecuted, the hoist is not in
constant use, but the proposition
proves the same results as if it were.
North Star.
Heavy development work on the
North Star Tunnel and Development
company properties is being prose
cuted with unremitting vigor. The
west crosscut from the $50 foot level
is out sixty feet. in mineralized for
nation all along and at the face. A
drift has been started northward
from the same level from which i'm
portant disclosures are confidently
expected by the management, This
property, referred to as the Golden
group, will get the benefit of system
attic and comprehensive development,
as the long adit from the east side of
Mount Oddie will constitute a work
ing vantage unequaled by any other
here, as to its depth and scope.
On The Outing.
The Tonopan Fraction Extension
Mining company, S. A. KNAPP super
intendent, have reached 80 feet in its
new shaft on the Outing claim. A
hoist with steam power is ON the
road from Candelaria. which will be
Immediately installed and sinking
continued to the 500 level, at least.
This is an eastern company with
abundant capital for extensive work.
New YOrk-TOnOpah.
The New York Tonopah shaft is
now AIS feet deep, steadily penetrat-
ing lode porphyry. 1t was the orig
inal calcula ton of this company to
sink 1000 feet before cutting out
station, but the probabilities are that
earlier developments will change the
program.
West End.
Enlargement of the West End shaft
has been completed and timbered to
within forty feet of the bottom. In
this instance, as is generally the case
here, delays have occurred in the com
pletion and shipment of the steam
engine and its hosting works.
MOntana-TOnOpah
The new shaft of the Montana
Tonopah has been sunk $3.50 feet in a
remarkably short time 1t is pro-
bable that prosecuting will be com
menced at the 400 Thereafter sen
sational developments may be looked
for at almost any time.
Midway TonOpah.
The Midway Tonopah, under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of W. j. Douglas,
has installed a whim on its 40-foot
shaft, which is being sunk rapidly.
The claims are near the northern
lines of the Tonopah company claims
TonOpah Brewery.
