NOTES FROM The
OUTSIDE DISTRICTS
Interesting Mining News From the Sur
rounding Districts Gathered by
Our Special Correspondents.

The most assuring reports of the
permanency of the mines at Weepah
are coming in. The Philadelphia
company has several men at work,
and as depth is attained coarse gold
is to be found in abundance in the
ore. A specimen which is literally
speckled with gold was taken from
the Baldwin lease and can be seen at
this office. 1t is the opinion of sew
eral prominent mining men who have
visited the camp during the week
that the mines are gilt edge and will
become famous gold producers. The
Weepah stock is now selling on the
curb in Philadelphia for IS and 20
cents, and we predict that inside OF
sixty days it will have risen to So 80
per share.
Stone Cabin.
II. Sharpe and j. S. Barber, oper-
ating in Stone Cabin, report favorable
returns from their group of fourteen
claims. ], T. Watson, another sue
cessful prospector, reports that his
locations, consisting of five claims,
are looking well
This district is worthy of attention,
there being apparently parallel
belt to the Tenopah range. The
formation is porphyry, carrying
principally gold values. The district
commences about ~ miles this side
of Stone Cabin rancho and about 10
miles east Of McKinneys tanks, on
the main divide of the summit between
the two valleys.
Gold Mountain.
Through the reports of Mr., Sulli-
van, who has recently sold a valuable
property in this district, we are
pleased to state that from his judy
ment "the outlook for bonanza even
larger than we have here" is very
promising, and that they have
started devl ppment in an extensive
manner and are shipping ore. The
veins are large and well defined.
The general character of the ore is
an oxide on the surface carrying sui
phides with little depth. from which
assay returns assure most favorable
results.
Liberty.
Warren & Munder, two successful
operators and promoters of the Lib
erty district who have just closed a
deal with Thomas Drew for the Old
Liberty, Molly Gibson and France
groups, have commenced operations
on their group known as the Munder,
in the same district, This group has
good surface showing and is con
sidered one of the most promising
prospects of the district,
TOnopah Extension.
The Tonopah Extension Mining
Company, owning group of claims
about five miles north of Tonopah
has prospected its ground thoroughly
the past two months. A contract
has been let to sink main working
shaft to depth of 800 feet. The
main ledge is twenty-five feet wide
with parallel and cross lodges vary
ing from one TO four feet wide Mr.
G. 7. Holladay is superintendent.
Ray.
The stock of the company shows a
marked increase within the last ten
days. offers as high as 81 being
common The showing is worthy of
the price. Ray will soon be a sister
to Tonopah, as the leasers as well as
the officials have the nerve aud are
certainly deserving of credit,
East ki0ndike.
Donald and Sullivan have Just
arrived from East Klondike, which
adjoins the Gold Mountain district,
and reports the showing much i'm
proved and the outlook most encour-
aging. This is a good district and
should not be overlooked by the pros
pector.
