TOnOpah Pythians.

There was a gathering of the mem.
bers OF Mizpah Lodge, No %, X. Of
p, at their castle on Thursday even
ing last, which, including visiting
Knights from nearly all parts of the
state, numbered seventy-tive. Grand
Chancellor J. K. Souchereau was re-
ceived in all due honors, good cheer
and hospitality. After imparting in.
struction in the unwritten work OF
the order, the grand chancellor gave
an eloquent and encouraging address
to the lodge, to which several of the
resident Knights responded. Among
those participating was Past Grand
Chancellor Chris Ziegler. Mr.. Souch-
ereau left last night for his home
in Verdi, no doubt well pleased with
his visit to Tonopah.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1903-04-18

During the present week Tonopah
has had the magnificent fortune OF a
mining sensation unequaled since the
marvellous wealth of the great Miz-
nah ledge first came to be realized.
In the calculation of good judges the
development supplies incontestable
proof that the main and richest ledge
of the district extends easterly for
an indefinite distance into, under and
through Mount Oddie. The partially
accepted idea of former theorists
that certain dyke which appears
on the southwest face OF the noun
tain would in depth cut off or at least
fault the series of nearly vertical
lodges which strike easterly has been
fully proven to be an unwarranted
assumption.
The Tonopah- Belmont Development
company is the incorporation to
which fortune has fallen, through the
superb Judgment of its managers and
by means OF the wise use Of capital.
The bottom Of the Desert Queen shaft
is no feet from the collar. At the
6l4-foot station a drift is pro
iected 1900 feet northwesterly
to connect with the 5OO-level
Of the Siebert shaft, which is in
accord with a system agreed
upon by all the companies OPP
Grating adjacent properties. From
this 6l4-station a crosscut is now out
$50 feet, striking Silver State ground
at 80 feet from sta ton, under work
ing arrangements effected between
the Tonopah company and the Tono-
pah. Belmont company On Wednes-
day last the south wall Of an east and
west ledge was cut through and a
body of ore brokeninto. AS the drift
extends directly into the mountain
the rise thereof places the ledge 700
feet below the surface. Up TO last
evening no north wall had been def
nitely determined, but solid 4-foot-
wide section OF the ledgeis composed

MIzPAH MINERAL FISSURE
IS EXTENDING EASTWARD
Great Strike Of Rich Ore in the Silver State Ground
Tonopah Belmont Company in Bonanza.
GRAND ADDITION TO LIST OF WEALTH YIELDERS.

of ore which assays by sample
$152.S0 in gold and carries 824 ~
ounces in silver per ton. Samples OF
a further section lying alongside gave
an average of $3.50 per ton gold and
silver. This morning the showing Of
the richest ore was six feet wide,
no opposite wall appearing. Twenty
million dollars is safe estimate Of
the values in sight. The stock is
sought after at 81 80 per share, but
holders will not sell.
The metallurgical character of the
ore is almost Identical with that Of
the Mizpah, carbonate and sulphate
with cblorides, although the brown
celebration, probably caused by man
ganese or iron oxides, is somewhat
different. Allowing deviation from a
true course, in all probability the
ledge is continuation of the Mizpah,
but this can only be demonstrated in
time as the course of drifting is pur-
sued. The point opened is approx
mately ], 300 feet easterly from the
crosscut reaching the Mizpah from
the 500. station OF the Siebert shaft,
which is about the center of the ex-
plored section Of the assure. 1t will
be noted that there is thus defined a
vast body of high-grade ore, all bear
ing continuous chutes of the richest
Tonopah ores.
Comment among mining men is to
the effect that the G.. IL H. Tunnel
property would have been neither
developed or capitalized except for
the confidence therein and the enter
prise OF II. c. Brougher and T. L.
Oddie, and otherwise this strike
might never have been made. The
ability Of F. j. Siebert, as consulting
engineer Of the company, is also con
clusively shown by the results. The
strike raises the rank of the G. Il H..
Tunnel Belmont. Acenith consolida-
ton to the equal of any great mining
proposition in Tonopah.

Woodson Garrard, a noted mining

county, is here from San Francisco,
examining mining property. Mr..
Garrard is a brother-in-law Of Chas

and expresses himself pleased with
the great showing of this district.
According to correspondent OF
the Hawthorne Bulletin, party of
Santa Fe engineers was at Silver
Peak some time ago and went south
to Daggett. Bob Montgomery went
along as guide, and the Santa Fe
men thought that a road would be
built from Daggett to Tonopah.

THE spirit of my dead wife came to
me in my cell one night last week and
warned me not to plead guilty to MUIR

of life Imprisonment. The wrath urged
me to stand trial. said Michael Ter

He was found guilty by jury yes
terday of manslaughter only in kill
ing Patrick Coffey and was sentenced
to three years in state prison. Terri
HE was one of a gang of laborers that
became involved in fight at the gas
works last summer. His defense was
that in trying to defend a fellow Ital-
ian laborer against Coffey he struck
the latter a fatal blow. Terrible toss
ed all night on the cot in his cell,
wakefully ponderihg advice to plead
guilty to murder in the second degree.
He says that the spirit which he
recognized as that of his wife, called
him and said: BE not afraid; you
have not committed a crime" and add
ed advice. 1t gave him courage, and
he is firmly convinced that he was
guided by his wife, who died in Italy

County Offices.
Our Committee on County Offices
have reported as follows, which report
has been adopted. We have checked
up the accounts of the officers who han
die money, and rotations have been
made on their books up to the date
that we have examined them, and we
want the next grand jury TO note this.
We have done this work by members
of this grand jury, who, counted as
one man, would amount to twenty days
work for one man at 81 day We
think that it can be continued just as
we have done it, believing that grand
juries ought to be made up of people
who are honest and capable of doing
this sort of work
We have examined the offices and
books of the Clerk of the Superior
Court, the County Treasurer, the Tax
Collector. Tax Receiver Sheriff, Ordi-
nary and County Commissioners. We
ind all the books in the offices of these
officials well and neatly kept and ac-
counts and vouchers correct. We es-
pecially commend the manner in which
the offices of the Tax Collector and
County Commissioners are conducted.
and the clear and business1ike manner
of keeping the books in these Offices.
At this date there are in Jail ninety
seven prisoners and three lunati
We find in the sheriff's office the large
| number of 500 fl. ia. errors for the year
| 1902. While many of these are un-
avoidabe, being only for poll tax ard
personal property, we think those for
real estate could be obviated If the tax
receiver in taking returns for country
property could and would always make
the party making the returns specify
the location of the property. This, at
present, is some times difficult to do,
as we are surprised to find there is no
correct and authorized map of Chat
ham county, which map should show
property lines. We do most strongly
recommend that a correct county map
be made at once, and so made in checks
or numbered sections that all country
or outlying property could be located.
We are informed that there is property
in Chatham county on which no taxes
have been paid in years. Without a
correct map it is almost impossible to
| locate some property. which could read
| lily be done with one. and IL parties
| selling country real estate were made
| to report sale of same and name of
purchaser il would be a great help to
| the tax receiver. We believe a cor
rect and properly made map of our
county would be Invaluable to the
! county officers, for the best interests

! means of increasing the tax receipts
in same, and, therefore. we urge that
such a map be made as soon as possi-
