The local management Of the Pac
tolus company's properties fifty
miles north of Tonopah, New, is at
the sampler with a trial lot of rock
which shows an average of 225
ounces silver and $50 gold per ton
The lot was derived from a number
of small tissues through which the
incline has passed in its course along
the contact and that will be pros
pected at later on in the campaign,
said President ]. D. Wood. In ad
dition to this lot there came one from
the Mammon into which an incline is
also being put, the ores of it showing
1912 gold with 577 ounces silver
per ton, and occurring as do they in
the Pactolus. Salt Lake interests
in the properties, and by which in
terests they are controlled, are much
pleased with the conditions at pres
ent, and work will continue on the
most energetic scale. = Salt Lake

Flow Of Water is Again Encountered
in The Rescue Shaft.

VII Tue keSehe Sndft.
Water has again been encountered
in the Rescue shaft, this time at the
800 level. Ii is presumed that IL is
the same body encountered fifty feet
above. The company recently or.
dered Knowles No. 3 pump from
San Francisco and it is now on the
road between Sodaville and Tonopah.
Immediately on its arrival it will be
put in position in the shaft and put
to work. The flow of water in the
shaft has not materially diminished in
quantity since it was first struck.
and is yielding nearly 5000 gallons a
day.
TOnOpah-Aspen.
7. J. Lamoraux, president of the
above named company, was an ar
rival in Tonopah the past week.
The company which he represents is
a close organization, recently incor-
porated and has a large treasury
fund to go to work with. The com
pany owns three claims, the Aspen,
Black Diamond and Sans Sabe, To-
Gated less than one mile north of Ton
opah and joins the Belle of Tonopah
on the north east. On the Aspen
claim three foot ledge carrying
values has been opened up, and the
further development of this will be-
gin at once.
West End.
The West End company is cross
cutting from the bottom of the shaft
at the 500 level. The cut to the
north is in the ledge encountered at
the 800 feet in the shaft and the wall
has not been reached. To all APP
pearances it is great body of low
grade ore, but in it some rich lunches
are found. In the south crosscut the
porphyry is improving and indica-
tons favor the nearness of the ledge
matter.
North Star.
The main shaft of the North Star
reached 900 feet the past week and
sinking was suspended for day or
two in order to splice another 100
feet to the cable. Sinking has since
been resumed and will lie pushed till
depth of 1000 feet is attained. 1t
is probable, however, that ore will be
cut before the shaft reaches that
depth.
Mill Broke Down.
The O'Meara-Ly mill at Butler
wells, broke down the past week,
thereby delaying the milling of the
Gold Mountain onopah Company's
ore, which was taken there early
this week. However, it is expected
that all repairs will be made and the
mill started up to-day.
OhiO-TOnOpah.
The crosscut from the 770~foot
station in the Ohio Tonopah shaft is
now in about eighty feet and has
passed through the ledge cut at 100
feet in the shaft. The new air com
pressor has arrived on the ground,
and as soon as the founda ton is com
pleted, it will be put in operation.
Midway.
In the Midway prosecuting is be.
ing pushed to the north and south
from the $40 station. Rich stringers
of quartz are encountered almost
daily and one good sized ledge of
medium grade ore has been passed
through.

The following statement from the
superintendent, Rev. }. II. Mason, in
reference TO new building for the
Lake Superior Mission appeared in
the columns of the Evening Telegram
Feb. 2nd.
AS it treats of matter of vital
Importance to our city we are happy
to accede to request for its repubii-
cation to help along the work. We
understand that $4,000 has already
been secured for new building
from friends outside the city, and we
trust that the canvas soon to be made
among our citizens for the means to
purchase lots suitable for the site
will be crowned with success.
"Permit me to call the attention Of
your readers to matter that con
Germs the welfare of the Lake Supe-
rior Mission, and in which its many
friends in this city will be interested
Up TO this time in our history we have
not been able to occupy a building OF
our own, but have had to conduct our
WORK in buildings that we have had to
lease from other people. We have
done what many family and busi-
ness firm in this has had TO do, but ii
is not the ideal way of conducting
business. We were compelled to
move three times in the first three
years. Since entering the house we
have occupied for the Last seven years
constant element Of uncertainty ar
to whether we should long remain in
the building, has handicapped ouI
work. We have had to make many
improvements at our own expense
Other needed improvements we coulc
not make. The house was not bull
for mission purposes, and is liable
any day to be sold and compelled to
