Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1902-09-13

The Salt Lake Tribune says The
business On which he came dis.
charged, Key Pittman the Tonopah
lawyer and mining man, left for
that thrifty Nevada mining camp
again yesterday. Discussing the re
cent strike in the Mizpah Extension
on the east Mr., Pittman said its i'm.
portance to the camp is revealed in
the light it sheds upon the longevity
Of the great vein rather than the
values contained in the ore and which
latter rule around $40 per ton.
With this development it is demon.
strated that the ledge stretches out
along the horizon for over a mile,
while developments now progressing
promise further demonstrations of
equal Importance at almost any time.
TO these latter developments much
salt Lake interest attaches in that
DR.. Landen X, Ellis, son of Col. A. G.
Ellis of this city, is largely interested
in the territory adjoining the Mizpah
Extension is the similarity of the rock
with that which rules in the Frac ton,
although no ruby silver has yet made
its appearance,
Mr. Pittman is convinced that the
story of the Comstock lode is to be
repeated in the well filled arteries
that underlie Tonopah and congratu-
lates the camp that it has the talent
with which to demonstrate it. The
presence Of Hon William G, Whitney,
Mr. Brock of the Federal Steel com
pany and others of almost equal
prominence among the investors who
got in early enough to have already
recorded big profits, has done much
already to stimulate the confidence
Of the east, while there has not been
enough to supply western demands.

absolutely to the United States of
three miles Of property on either side
Of the canal for its entire length and
authority over five leagues at sea

eresting to those who have favored
this as well as those who have op-
posed government ownership in our

GOLDEN RULE co.
Mine Near Wickenburg Managed En-
 tirely by Ladies.

General Manager Mrs. w. T. Hutch inson and Supt. Hutchinson of the Golden Rule Mining company have been in town this week, later going out to their property in Black Rock district. preparatory to starting development work anew. says the Wickenburg News Herald. The Golden Rule Mining com pany was organized early last summer and with the exception of the superin- tendent, all the officers are ladies. The company owns the Helen Gould, Laura B.. Grand View and Sulphuret mining claims and Supt. Hutchinson says the showings already made are more than enough to warrant them in continuing with the development work with the expectation of opening up producing property. The Sulphuret claim adjoins the Great Scott of the Keystone group and has about 900 feet of development work done, consisting mainly of drifts and tunnels. Three large dykes run through the claim, interspersed with a number of rich veins of copper gold ore. In one of the tunnels good supply of water has been encountered.

 critics at Gilbert.

w. T. Somes of Los Angeles, secre- tary and treasurer of the Uncle Sam Copper company, was in camp a short time ago to see what we had in the way of mineral deposits, having heard a good deal of this section and wish ing to see for himself. Meeting Mr- Sam Franklin, they went to his group of claims near here with the result that MT. Somes secured the group of seven claims, and came back to camp Satis- fled that the stories of this section had not been in the least exaggerated In the morning he went up the mountains to look at another group of five claims on the same vein as the others (the Denver Group Gold and Copper Co.,, and the Keystone Co.,. owning the inter vening ground on the same vein) and made a deal with the owners for their five claims. MT. Somes was ready to take the stage at noon, having been with us less than twenty-four hours, but secured two of the best groups in the district Just why these groups contemplating man is mystery, but somehow no one seemed to see their good points as quickly as MT. Somes. who. if he is as lucky in mining as he has heen in the oil fields of California will make a stake in short time and add much to the life of this camp Cor. Wickenburg News-Herald.

MINING NOTES.

H. Melluish. the Tucson jeweler Is now sinking one hundred feet on his nickel mine near Tucson. This mine has produced some good ore, and with nickel increasing in value MT. Melluish will have a bonanza in a short time. It is already a valuable property.-Post
 Saturday last the finishing touches were put upon the sampIng works oe the Arizona Gold & Copper company at Patagonia, and the plant is declared by experts to be the finest and most complete one Of the kind ever erected in Arizona. It has a daily capacity of fifty tons of ore.-Tucson Post
 Messrs. J. Kane and G. A. Feidler have recently located very fine ledge of silver-lead ore in the Santa Rita mountains, not far from the group of mines belonging to the Presidential Mining Co. The Nogales Oasis says 1t is high grade. shipping ore. and they will develop the property and ship the ore for expense money.
 Two shifts are to be put on at the Infanta mine, the property of the Elm pire Extension Gold Mining company. The hoisting plant and equipment for extensive development is all in place and in operation. It is predicted that the Infanta will be one of the first mines to pay dividends, that is now be- ing developed by a company that has sold development stock to the general public. It is situated in one of the most favorable locations on Groom creek.--Prescott Prospect.
 Frank Czarnowski, manager of the Leviathan Gold Mining Company's properties, the Maximilian group in the southern end of Yavapai county writes to his company that those mines are looking very fine. That the best ore ever seen in the district is now being extracted from the main shaft in the process of sinking and development. This group is reported to be one of the strongest quartz lodges in Arizona, and is on the same line of mineral the Congress and Octave mines are.-Pros- pect.
 T. l.. Ayres visited the c. O. D. mine this week and reports it to contain one Of the largest bodies of ore in the coun- ty, says the Journal Miner. MT.

CHECK CALCULATOR
A Line of Credit on an Imaginary
 Bank Draft.

The officers are looking for a stran- is charged with being Q penman. So for as is known Mir. Bourke first ap- peared in this town on the morning of January 9 He~stopped at the Senate saloon on South Second street, and in the course of his conversation with the proprietor, MT. Remsen. he said he had q draft on the National Bank of Ari- zona, but he needed identification. He was then waiting till his old friend. Mir. F.. E. Pascoe, came down to go with him to the bank. His casual mention of the name of MT Pascoe was calculated to keep down suspicion, and when Bourke d moment later asked MT. Remsen if he could let him have a half dollar until he had made himself understood at the bank. MT. Remsen gave him a dollar, and did it with an air which seemed to indicate that he was sorry that MT. Bourke had not made it Aver" Bourke spent the money over the bar and got into debt to the house for sixty-fve cents more. Then he went away. and in the course of an hour returned pre- pared to discharge his obligations. He presented an sS check drawn to cash on the National Bank of Ari- zona and endorsed it. MT. Remsen deducted the amount of Bourke's in- debtedness and gave him s6.35. He had very good reason to believe that the check was all right. He very natur- ally supposed that Bourke had found his friend, MT. Pascoe. had been iden- tified and had deposited the check in the bank.
 But when Bourke came back an hour later with a S10 check MT. Rem sen hesitated about cashing it. and he told Bourke that he did not like to compete with the banks. He finally let him have g on the check and never saw him again. He found out at the bank that Bourke was unknown there. Mir. Pascoe said he had no acquaint- ance of that name. and he had certain ly not recently identified Bourke or any one else at the hank.
 About this time Mir. Remsen began to suspect that Pourke was untrust- worthy, and he went to Justice Bur nett to see what could be done with him. warrant charging him with b ing guilty of misdemeanor was is- sued and a search for him was begun. Tine officers were hopeful of finding him. When he was last heard from he was drunk and getting drunker.

MOHAvE MINES
Copper and Tin Properties on the San.
 ta Maria and Big Sandy.

C. H. Crosby came to Prescott iron; the Copper Creek country this week. He visited The Prospect office and says that with development that district is sure to show up some of the greatest copper mines in Arizona. There are in- dicat tions of extensive deposits of cop per throughout the section, and in large dykes are strataS from one inch to eight inches in width of very high grade copper ore. There is no question but that large bodies of copper bear ing ores will some day be opened up in the Copper Creek District. and the opportunities that await the investment of capital are nuermous.
 Regarding the tin mines of Mohave county that have recently attracted considerable attention by the finding of very rich tin ore on the surface, about eight miles east of the Big Sandy in the Aquarius mountains, which is the range that divides Mohave and YaYa- pal couneies, MT Crosby says they are likely to surprise the world before long. He has read about these strikes since having been over a considerable DOT tion of that country, and though not claiming to be an expert on tin or ar senious ores, he thinks there is a good chance to develop tin mines from sur face indications.
 prospector would pass over such ground as this ordinarily, and as it was, the locators of this property con- templated a copper prospect, as the great ledge on which the loca tions were made Is copper stained and samples from the surface assayed per cent copper.
 Mir. Crosby sent several samples of the tin ore found associated with fields par. to be tested. and the lowest returns were 34 per cent tin. and from that to as high as 71 per cent.

bank on IL that it is just what he says. The mine is truly a wonderful property md the company made no mistake when they took it over from the old owners. The mill recentyl erected on the property is doing good work and has d world of ore to work on. Mir. Ayres says that there is enough milling ore of good grade to keep the big plant pounding away for more than a year without touching the reserves of high grade ores, of which there are immense bodies in sight. On the 300 level the old works were within two feet of one of the finest ore bodies the mine had ever yielded up.
 N. Anderson was in the city from his cyanide works, which are located at the Contention mill, on the San Pedro reserve. near Fairbanks. MT. Anderson has purchased the tailings of the Con- tention and Head Center mines. of which there are about 40, 900 tons. Forty tons are treated daily. In answer to the inquiry as to the profits. MT. An derson replied that they made enough to eat three square meals daily, and meet all bills when presented.-Tucson Star.
 Some miners who have just come into town from Helvetia report that the company is having a little trouble at the camp It seems that some iron ore was needed for the Aux in the smelting cf the copper, so several Mexicans were hired to get it out of the mine. A. B. Cooper. the engineer, being a member of the Miners Union. objected to work ing the hoist for the Mexicans. and quit. Then the company tried to gee another engineer. but on learning of the action of MT. Cooper the man who was selected refused to take the place It is hoped that the matter will be amicably settled.-Tucson Star.

Wiley Is interested in some gold quartz claims in Riverside county, California. about four miles from the Arizona line, where he has been for the past several months, experimenting development work He has four men helping him. and they are sinking on two claims.
 MT. Wiley is confident that they have a great mine. and. if they have any considerable amount of the kind of rock that has been exhibited here. they doubtless have a bonanza-Yuma Sur

TALK OF THE DAY

Bologna has been having Q sensation in the rumor that its great leaning tower, the pride of the city. is weaken ing. and may fall. This has caused so large an influx of visitors that it is said the hotelkeepers may not be wholly guiltless in regard to the rumor. The city has two of these square towers. the Asinelli, which is 315 feet high and was erected in 1109, and its rival, the Garisenda, which was built one year later. and was originally much higher. and is rendered peculiar by it's decided inclination to one side. It is now only 153 feet high, the width or one side is 23 feet, the walls at the base are feet 6 inches thick, while higher up they are feet g inches. It's origin is somewhat obscure, but it was certainly intended to outdo the Asinelli and both were for retreat in troublous times. Some say the original intention was to make It lean, but others contend that either the ground has settled or there was a de
