10 Various Properties.

w. Travers and j. Forzani re-
turned Thursday from the Glover
dale district, where they were fortu-
nate enough TO secure a number OF
promising fractional claims. On the
Workman Brothers property, which
has been bonded to members Of the
Montana Tonopah company, work,
they said, was progressing favorably,
and at depth OF twenty feet in the
main shaft a body of ore twelve feet
wide had been opened up that runs
$40 to the ton in gold. On the hang
ing wall there is a streak of ore
several inches in width that runs
5000 to $500 per ton, and this is
sacked as fast as it is taken out.
Other parties at work in the district
are ssrs. Thompson, Kendall,
Walker, Davis g. Hennessy; Cyrac Il
Dixon and Petty & Dart. These
people all have promising looking
claims and are now doing assessment
work on them.
On their return trip Messrs. Trav-
ers and Forzani came by way of Lone
Mountain, and on the east side of the
mountain, few miles from the AL
pine camp, they discovered some
promising looking lodges, one Of
which was forty feet wide, and as
says from this, made yesterday, gave
returns of $50 TO the ton in gold.
They located this property calling it
the Mizpah, and should it hold out,
in values and width, it will prove a
Mizpah indeed. The gentlemen left
this morning for their newly acquired
Golconda, and will begin the prelimi-
nary work at once.
Ore Shipments.
A careful tally on the ore being
shipped from Tonopah to Salt Lake
and California at the present time
places the output at about 700 tons
per month, and as ore valued at less
than 5000 per ton is rarely shipped
il is safe to assume that the value of
the shipments exceeds $l40, 900
The properties contributing TO this
output are the Mizpah, Fraction,
Montana-Tonopah, h. OMeara-
Lynch group at Alpine and the Ray
4 O'Brien. If other mines in the
district and neighborhood that are
capable of shipping were doing so,
million mark could be reached every
month in the year.
Pay Day at Pine Grove.
For the first time in many years
the citizens of Pine Grove, Esmer-
aida county, witnessed a regular
payday in their town on the 18th
instant. When DR.. A. l.. Hudgens
left Tonopah last week be tarried at
Pine Grove long enough to make
arrangements for the regular
payday that would gladden. the
hearts of those employed by his com
pauy. Two carloads of lumber have
been shipped from Truckee to con
struct additional houses, etc, at the
mine. The sulphurets at the mil
is being shipped to the Selby
Smelling company,
Fraction Extension.
Good progress is being made in
the Tonopah- Fraction Extension com
pany shaft, which is now 232 feet
deep, in a formation of iron tanned
volcanic breccia. The late strike in
the Ohio Tonopah and the very favor
bic formation in the New York Ton
opah have an important bearing on
the prospects of this property, as
showing beyond question that it is in
the mineral area and is about the
depth where ore bearing formation
will be found.
Boston-TOnopah.
Superintendent McCambridge re-
ports that the main shaft of the Bos-
ton-Tonopah is down $50 feet and
sinking is proceeding in the blue
As the blue lies immedi-
ately over the pink or lode porphyry
the latter can confidently looked for
within the next few weeks, and ledge
matter will undoubtedly be found in
that
North Star.
Water was struck Thursday in the
North Star shaft at depth Of $50
feet The flow is small but seems to
be gradually increasing in volume.
The price of the companys stock
has been advanced to 81 per share,
and very little of it can be had at
that figure.
