risen a few points, but still falls far
short OF selling for what it did three
months ago, when no comparison,
from the point Of value, could have
been made with the property as it
stands today. How to account for
this is beyond our ken to explain,
unless it can be charged to the job
bers on the stock boards. The
property does not merit such treat
ment on the contrary, If the stock
of the company were worth sl.25 a
share three months ago, it should in
all reason, with the increased devel-
opment, be worth not less than 80
today.
1t was the pleasure OF the writer
few months ago, shortly after the
first strikes were made, to visit the
Montana Tonopah and view for him
self what had been opened up. Two
ledpes had then been disclosed in the
shaft, and while they promised size,
richness and extent, it did not seem
possible that the short time that has
passed since then would permit ol
such bounds and changes as were
witnessed when he again viewed the
property last Tuesday night.
When the first visit was made the
main shaft was down 462 feet, ant
from it two drifts had just beer
started, and this constituted all thu
underground work done. Toda.
there are no less than 1900 feet o
openings in the property, nearly ore
third of which is ore; but as thi
article is intended to be more des
scriptive than comparative, similtud
will be dropped and in general wa.
the showing made will be stated as
appears to the onlooker at the pres
ent time.
From the 460 foot station in tn
shaft, near where the first high grad
ore was struck, two drifts, one t
the east and the other to the ives
have been run. The latter is now
/ about 14O feet, but at a point IL
= feet from the shaft it intersected a
unknown ledge that almost parallele

ledge has opened up one Of the fines

width of five feet, and through it ru

punches of ore that assay $4,000 to
the ton. Taken as a whole, however,
and requiring but little sorting, it
will all average better than $500.
Up to the present time seventy feet
of drifting has been done on this
ledge, and it is estimated that in this
limited distance, the drift being car
ried 6x7 feet, s25, 900 worth of ore
has been extracted. From the main
drift on this same level a winze has
been sunk in ore to the 5l2 level,
from which some very high grade ore

prospecting an area of country not
vet 300 feet wide, and as this is but
one tenth of the width OF ground
that the company possesses and as 1T
is intended to crosscut this,
sooner or later, no connect
ure can be made as to what number
of ledges exists or what is in store
in the way of mineral
The company at the present time is
employing thirty-five to forty men, and
with this force is enabled to extract
about ten tons OF ore daily through
development alone. OF this amount
probably from 40 to 60 per cent is
high grade shipping ore, and this,
approximating 100 tons or four car
loads, will hereafter constitute the
regular monthly shipments. That
remaining will be piled on the dumps
and held till the company erects its
own reduction plant, contingency
that is perhops not far distant.
No stoping has been done as yet
in any of the drifts, nor will it be re-
sorted to until plans have been con-
sumated for the final disposition OF
the ore, as it is just as safe between
the walls as in ore bins. How much
ore is in sight in the drifts opened up
has not yet been calculated upon, ou'
from a cursory examination 1T is sale
to assert that there is an amount
sufficient in value to several times
exceed the capitalization of the com
pany; to say the least, there Is
enough to give the outstanding stocI
, a much flrmer backing than it at the
present time possesses. But TINT
will remedy these things. The prop

1t seems to be a strange condition
of affairs that with more ground
opened up, three new veins in sight,
ore bodies growing larger and in
creasing in richness with every round
OF holes, and with regular shipments
of ore that bring from $4,000 to
$4,000 to the carload, Montana-Tono-
pah stock should gradually decline in
value till week ago, when its ebb
was reached. Since that time, how

indefinitely and cut all the ledges
that have been disclosed in the upper
levels before resuming sinking, as in
order to do the latter practically and
economically a heavier hoist than the
one now employed will be required.
Up to date five strong lodges, all
carrying good ore, have been opened
up in the Montana Tonopah at and
below the 462 foot level, and these
with the one caught in the shaft
above the 400 foot station, make six

has been taken.
At the Sig foot station in the shaft
q short crosscut to the north leads
to the big ledge that was struck In
the AGO. AT its present depth,
though, it is fourteen feet wide, nine
feet wider than when first cut, but
the values remain about the same as
those found above. A raise 7xo feet
has been started on this body OF ore
and will be pushed till connection is
made with the drift above. The ore,
as it appears now, requires but little
sorting and is sacked as soon as 1t
reaches the top. During the week a
winze has been started in the DRIFT a
little to the east of the raise, and at
its present depth, five feet, no de-
terioratiou either in the size OF the
ledge or in the values, has been OBJ
served.
From the point where this ledge
is cut the north crosscut has been
ontinued $50 feet, and during its
progress three new veins of ore OF
one. two and five feet in width and
from twenty to fifty feet apart, have
been cut. No drifting has been done
on any of them, so their extent re-
mains undetermined. In values,
however, they have proved OF ship
ping grade.
East from the 5l2 foot station
drift now in over $50 feet has beer
run. For fifty feet the ledge wa'
followed, but as this veered slightly
, from its course, and it was the pur
pose to connect the drift with th'
, North Star shaft, $50 feet east, i
, was left. Its face, however, show
good ore. The present work in tn

THE STEAM ENGINE.
Not Yet illuminated as Most Impor-
fant Element in Material Prog
resx of World.

Dreams OF rotary steam engines,
much lighter. smaller, and cheaper
than engines of the ordinary recip-
rocating action, have been cherished
long time by makers and users of
the machines which are the chief mo-
tive power OF the modern world. in its
highest forms of industrial develop
ment Inventors have often believed
the problem solved. Ingenious and
persevering labor has been freely Law
ished on this line of progress in the
use of steam. says the Cleveland
Leader.
Just now the claims of success are
unusually confident and remarkable.
One local inventor is sure he has
solved the whole question and made
the rotary engine certainty of great
Importance in the industrial world.
Equally emphatic assertions come from
Ravenna, in behalf of two brothers.
Their work is of radical nature,
and ii may revolutionize good deal
of steam machinery. 1t is not long
since similar predictions were made
of wonderful results from a Minnesota
inventors achievements in the same
field.
Time will soon tell how much solid
foundation underlies these claims of
great gains in the use of steam for me-
chanical power It may be that just
when electricity is attracting much at
tention and the gas engine is also COM
| ing into wider usefulness than ever be-
| fore, the steam engine will make so
great forward step that new impor-
| lance will be given to that tried and
invaluable agent of civilization. Such
incidents are not uncommon in the
progress of mankind.
The displacement of gas lighting by
electricity would look much more
probable than it seems under present
conditions if it were not for the inven
| ton of the incandescent gas burner,
which came into use about the time
when electric lighting was making
most rapid progress. AS it is, gas is
burned more largely than ever for
lighting purposes. All that electricity

standard of sufficient light, and, pos
sibly to make the increase in the con.
sumption of Illuminating gas less rapid

engines it is certain that steam will
