And the sweetness and the sadness

Extensive Operations Commenced

The heavy timbering and solid lin

companys double-compartment shaft
is of the permanent sort, evidently
calculated to withstand the use and

J. M. Burke, president Of the com
pany, is in San Francisco for the
purpose of purchasing a hoist with
power to sink 1000 feet. The new
shaft is situate on the Grand Trunk
claim, the east end line OF which is
the west end line of the Buck board.
The apex or surface outcrop of the
famous Mizpah ledge extends well
into the latter claim, which is the
property of the Tonopah Mining ON
pany. The mineralized fissure I'M
doubtedly cuts its force further west
and into the Grand Trunk, but the
rhyolite is obscured by Oldie and
Brougher mountain debris. Close stu

theory that the cleavage Of the under
