RAY Patch People Here.

E. G. Wheeler, manager OF the
company that has been sinking Tor
water at Rye Patch, and F. 5. Wash
burn, a prominent engineer OF Nash
vile, Tenn, arrived in Tonopah
Thursday night, and spent yesterday
looking over the camp. Last night
they left for Rye Patch to look over
the field, and lay out the plans neces'
sary to the conduct of water to Ton
opah. The company has spent about
$50, 900 in developing water at Rye
Patch and has enough in sight to sup
ply all the needs of Tonopah. IL IS
believed that the presence of the OIL
fcers of the company here at the

Teachers and 40 Pupils.

School opened Wednesday morning,
having been delayed one day on ac-
count of some work which had to be
finished before opening. One hundred

charge of the first, second and third
grades.
The school building has been remod-
elled and put in the best OF condition,

trustees, who have worked faithfully
towards making it one OF the best IN
the state.

The story Of the strike in the North |
Star mine last week had hardly grown
cold when rumors of another one
were in circulation, and on chasing
them down they were found to be
true, and from point of value the
strike is as big as any yet made in
the district. While driving the north
crosscut last week and when at a
point about ninety feet from the $50
foot station, a seam of quartz was
noticed coming through the floor of
the drift, but no especial attention
was paid toit. On Sunday, however,
Superintendent Mccarthy went at 1T
with d pick and in short time he
had disclosed what appears to be the
apex Of a new ledge, running east
and west, and coming from the di-
rection Of the Montana-Tonopah
ground. Several shots were put into
it and at last accounts it had widened
out to two feet and gave average
returns of 1881 Oh 10 gold and 1897 69
in silver, total of 1919 10. 1t is
purposed now to sink winze on II
and also to establish station in the
shaft at q depth of 1850 feet ano
run q crosscut therefrom to tap It,
1t is thought this can be done in IN
feet. The ore found 10 the new ledge
is sulphide in character and exact ii
appearance with that Of the Montana
and contains the same metallic ant
brittle silver. The main shaft OF thu
North Star is now down more thai
/ .060 feet, and has passed through
the foot wall of the ledge encountere'
"a couple of weeks ago, and who's
width has been found to be sixtee
feet. In the bottom of the shaft NOR
quartz is coming in which favors tn
cutting OF another and new ledge.

HIS HONOR HONORED.
Supreme Judge Fitzgerald Ban
quoted by TOnopah Citizens.

Hon. A. l.. Fitzgerland, one of the
Judges of the supreme court OF Ne
vada, who has been in Tonopah the
past few days in the interest OF Ma
sonary. and who while here con-
ferred the higher degrees of Masonry
on several of the members OF the
local lodge, was yesterday enter
tanned at luncheon at the Palace
Cafe, by number of bis confreres IN
law and the citizens in general.
The tables were set for forty
guests and were arranged in the
shape of horseshoe. AT the bend OF
the table sat the guest OF honor and
on his left sat the POSTMASTER, Hon
Key Pittman. The spread, in a
measure, was impromptu, but it con
sisted of all the dantiest dishes that
the genius of Chef Zunstein could
command. At the conclusion oil the
repast, Mr.. Pittman called upon
Judge Fitzgerald for an address, and
the gentleman responded in a most
felicitous manner. His remarks
were confined principally to the tinan-
cial and silver questions, matters IN
which Nevada is vitality interested,
and his elucidat ton of the subject was
both argumentative and interesting

station. The ledge at this point is
about eight feet wide and is solid
mass of medium grade ore, though it
carries punches that will go up into
the hundreds. In the north crosscut,
1870 feet from the shaft, drifts have
been started east and west on four
foot vein. Both are now in about
fifteen feet and the face shows some
high grade sulphide ore. 1t resembles
that found in the Montana, and is no
doubt. one of the lodges cut in that
property Next week a station will
be started at the 485, where an eight
foot ledge, lying almost fiat, was
passed through IN sinking. This ledge
shows some rich streaks of ore, and

The diamond drill, at work at the
bottom of the 700-foot shaft of the
Mizpah, is down 500 feet and the core
coming up shows lode porphyry

yet been struck.
The west drift from the 500 foot
station in the Mizpah has now passed
100 feet beyond the east end line Of
the Blackboard, and the ore coming
out is sacked for shipment without
sorting as soon as it reaches the top
For its extent it is the richest body
of ore that has ever been extracted
from the company's property. Th'

character of the work which they
beheld,
DR.. Crawford is one of the large
STOCKHOLDERS of Douglas, Lacy u Co,
the great mine developers and opera

and detailed examination of the vari'
Gus properties in the Ray district
