the latter went to examine some
properties owned by the two gentle

been done first-class milling plant
will be erected. There is plenty of
water near the property, and devel-
opment will increase this to any de.
sired amount.

and f. H. Rose, and consists of four
claims. The main showing is an
eleven foot ledge, which traverses
the formation and is traceable for
distance of 1000 feet On the Pay
master claim a shaft has been sunk
to a depth of sixty feet, and the
bottom is filled with ore averaging
$40, $35 of which is gold. Three men

for making it a big producer.

The raise in the $50 foot crosscut
of the North Star is up twenty five
feet and is following four foot ledge
of high grade ore. From this four to
five tons "a day of ore are extracted
and hoisted to the dump. During the
past two weeks enough has been
taken out to make good sized ship

sacks. AS soon as they arrive, how
ever, shipment will be made. The
1880 crosscut is in seventy feet to
the north, but it is expected that it

feet more before II taps the ledge

TOnopah Extension.
Sinking has been resumed in the
main shaft and will be continued to
a depth Of $50 feet, when crosscut
will be run to the north to intersect
the rich ledge cut in the shaft at $50
feet. AT this station drifts were run
in on the ledge for u short distance,
and the development done proved all
that had been said of the richness
and magnitude of the ore body, Two
shifts are employed in the shaft and
