On Monday last Justice Ray rem
dered his decision in the case of j. NJ.
Healy, charged with misdemeanor,
and imposed a fine of SIS and cost of
action. The case of other defendants
was continued. This is the action in
which Manager Healy Of the Salt
Lake company was brought into
court for having caused an alleged
trespass upon mining ground claimed
by the Tonopah company and ad-
versely claimed by the Salt Lake
company, as published in the last
issue Of the BONANZA.
Defendant by attorney filed notice
of appeal to the District Court on
grounds both as TO law and the fact,
demanding that same be perfected
by transcript OF proceedings, etc.
On Tuesday last United States Cir
cult Judge Hawley issued restrain
ing order prohibiting the Salt Lake
company from entering upon the
claim known as the Valley View, and
on September I'd the parties are
cited to appear in court and show
why the order should not be made a
perpetual injunction. Immedia tely
upon receipt of this all the guard was
withdrawn from the ground.
North Star and Tunnel Co.
Contractors on the new working
shaft of the North Star Company are
making record time. OF their con-
tract, 100 feet of the 200 have been
completed, having averaged pro-
gress of five feet per day, including
the most solid and workmanlike sys-
TEN of timbering. This company,
controlled entirely by local owners
and capital, will extend the shaft to
depth of 500 feet before drifting or
paying much attention to ore encoun-
| tered.
The face of the long tunnel which
is being driven from the east side is
now 26O feet from daylight, in a
lively porphyritic formation, A con-
tract has been given for running a
further distance OF $50 feet, which
work is to be pushed day and night.
The new road which has been
graded up the side of Mt. Oddie is a
fine piece of work 1t reaches the
shaft, where tine hoist equipment is
operating with perfect success.
The lvanpah claim, upon which the
shaft is opened, is the nearest Of all
to the Mizpah ledge, at greater ele-
walton. Ore of paying values has
been found on the surface, which did
not float up hill. The property is
held to be, and is, one of the most
promising and interesting PROPOSE
tons in the camp.
Orc BlancO.
We CLEAN from ]. S. Stotler some
particulars concerning the new prop
erty situate in the Ida valley coun-
try, about fifteen miles from Silver
Peak. His partners in interest are
f. A. and Frank Montgomery, c. B.
Fleming and W, |, Beauchamp. The
ORC Blanco group of claims lies in a
porphyry formation similar to Tono-
pah, extending two and one half
miles in length and three-fourths of "a
mile wide The principal ores are
silver chlorides, yielding 300 ounces
per ton, although other lodges show
extensive bodies of Sl5 gold ores.
Aida valley many years ago was a
large silver-producer, and its revival
now is not at all surprising, The
property has acquired water-rights
about two and one-half miles distant
abundant for a 40 ton reduction
plant, while the country abounds in
the best of wood for fuel.
Pactolus.
Our latest information from the
new found mineral district of Pac-
tolus comes from p Blume, who
after a visit of inspectio says that
there is no question about the very
favorable appearance of rich ore
showing, Mr. Allen has taken charge
of company operations there, Mr.,
Mau has returned to the mines from
"a business trip to San Francisco, and
upon his return to Tonopah further
particulars will be given.
