North TOiioDali.

Development work still continues
on the Pearlman property in the
North Tonopah section, and a most
favorable showing has been made
during the past week. On the
Blanche claim the ledge is from eight
to ten feet wide and carries low
values in gold and silver, the latter
predominating. A good ledge has
also been uncovered on the Lincoln
claim. The group of claims adjoining
the Peariman property and belong
ing to J. J. Harmon and partners, is
showing up well, q sixfoot ledge
having been uncovered on the Lucky
Joe this week. This section undoubt-
eddy has good future before it, and
with development will become u pro-
ducer.

Another Company Formed.

c. FL. Jordan, prominent mine
operator of San Francisco, has lately
purchased group of promising min
ing claims lying south of the Mizpah
about two miles. San Francisco cap
italists are associated with Mr.. Jor-
dan in the purchase, and arrange
ments are now being perfected for a
substantial incorporation to take up
an extensive system of development
of this favorably plated group OF
claims. Tonopah is the most inviting
field for speculative capital to come
to for investment. Our mineral zone
is 50 rich and extensive that the
usual risk accompanying mining iu-
vestments is almost entirely elimin-
ated and assumes the more substan-
tial aspect of legitimate mining.
Machinery for a deep shaft will be
put upon the Central Tonopah prop
erty as soon as the same can be
transported.

Assayer Louis X. Mau returned
from San Francisco last Tuesday
evening, having left the Pactous
mines about two weeks ago. From
his co-owners Mr.. Mau has purchased
an additional three. tifths interest in
all the principal group of claims,
He states that there is no truth in
the varied reports that the mines
have been either bonded or sold.
They have perfected all prelimin-
airy location work and begun sinking,
encountering at all points rich ore in
good lodges. 1t is planned to sink a
doublec-ompartment shaft 1000 feet
deep. Mr.. Mau has again gone to
the Bay on this business. The prop
erty will become great mine, and
for a wonder of wonders San Fran
cisco capital is booked to meet the
necessary OUTLAY.

Close-in Mining Deal.

A San Francisco wire received by
Toaopah parties yesterday from the
Western National bank gave notiti-
cation that the purchase money has
been paid on the Mascot and Triplet
mining claims. Messrs. ]. III. Sulli-
van and X. b. Kotelman convey two
thirds interest IN the properties to
Paul CASTOR, representing Pittsburg
and Philadelphia investors. The
claims join lines with the north and
east sides of the Tonopah company
group. Rich quartz has been found
within the red porphyry which cou-
stitutes the country rock so far as
exposed. A 500-foot shaft will be-
sent down fast as possible, with the
well-founded belief that pay ore will
be opened at depth of only 200 feet
or less,

MIzPAH EXTENSION
EAST SIDE OPENING
Latest Great Developments a.. Water
and Ore Bodies ..- Sixteen Foot
Ledge Cut Into.

In the main working shaft of the
Mizpah Extension series of claims
sixteen-foot body of ore has been
encountered at the depth of 440 feet.
Its partial opening so far has been
made in the course of constructing a
station. In appearance the ore is
identical with the seconded rock
of the Fraction strike. So far as we
have been Informed the gold value
runs from So to SO per ton, without
considering the silver values. In its
material effect the find discounts any
theorizing, but it certainly proves
that Superintendent Owen Owens is
miner who knows where to look for
ore.
The shaft is situated on the east
ern side of Mt. Oddie, 2700 feet
distant from the Mizpah lode proper.
The formation is not materially diff
ferent from that of the producers of
enormous wealth on this side of the
mineralized mountain. This is the
deepest shaft in the district and was
the first to strike the water level,
where change In the chemistry OF
ores is always expected. The guam
tity of water has not materially
increased within the last forty feet
1t must be admitted that ores of
paying values will be found as fur
Their opening rapidly progresses.
This discovery practically elimin-
ates all element of doubt. The inter
loca tons and surrounding claims have
only to attain an equivalent depth
through the everything deposit in
order to reach the ore zone.
The shaft on the North Star prop
erty, as well as the new one just
begun on the Lucky Jim claim of the
Montana-Tonopah company, are now
known to be in direct line between
bodies OF ore.
A natural deduction is that the
shafts on the west and northwest of
the great Mizpah fissure must con
tinue to greater depths.

on the Shoestring ground. The
ground lies directly between the
Mizpah Extention shaft and the Bel,
mont. The latter at its present
depth of 800 feet, is in the e-bear-
ing porphyry, while the strike at the

great many prospectors have came
