Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1903-05-09

The work of sinking the 2-com-
partment shaft is being pushed as
fast as steel and powder will accom-
plish the work, the shaft now being
275 feet in depth. The King Tono-
pah is close corporation and con-
sists of five claims, viz: The San
Juan Central, Fool, Red Eyed Mon
ster, Surplus and Scorpion. A
string quartz led seven feet wide
is to be seen in the shaft, the ore
being a fair milling proposition The
owners, OMeara IL Lynch, are being
congratulated on all sides on the
bright outlook of the King-Tonopah.
Tonopah-Albemarle.
A New York company entitled
Tonopah- Albemarle viii begin extern
sive development work Immediately.
Its property consists of twelve
claims-the Arizona, Bad Boy, Pan
handle, Albemarle, Alaska, Ace Of
Spades, Arkansaw, Hattie D., Ala
bama, Republic, independence and
Portland, which are situate on the
eastern base of Mount Oddie, be-
tween the Mizpah Extension and the
Butte Tonopah companys mines.
New York -Tonopah.
The New York Tonopah shaft has
dropped through nearly forty feet Of
the upper stratum designated as
yellow pophyry, and at the present
depth of 695 feet has penetrated
eight feet of the blue or purple por-
phyry. This ~ considered the ledge
bearing forma ton, the rock showing
q strong intermixture of quartz and
the whole is mineralized.
Liberty.
The Florence Extension Mining
company has perfected all arrange
ments for the sinking of a double
compartment shaft on their principal
or central claim in Liberty district,
which work will begin Immediately.
Development work so far shows the
ledge to be eight feet in width.
Hanapah.
The shaft is now down 240 feet. At
$50 q crosscut will be run north forty
feet to cut the main ledge. On the
1870 level, 250 feet of crosscuts and
drifts have been run showing fair
values of ore.

The north aud south crosscuts
from the 500-leve which were
started last week are I'M several
feet. The ground is the hardest en-
countered in this district.

/. SHOWING OF ORE
ana.TOnOpah Operating a Big
Mine.And Others.

member of the ToNoPAH Bo-
MANIA staff yesterday visited the
nroperty of the Commodore Mining
and Development company, through
courtesy of its president and general
manager, w. NJ. c. Jones. There is
a splendid ore outcrop on that
ground, which is the district lode
1orphyry uncapped. There are four
I'm claims, forming a block l800x
9lOO feet. with fractional claim ex-
tending about 1900 feet northeast
erIv. The main shaft on the Commo-
dore mine is II, 800 feet due north
from the Siebert shaft. The visible
cropping of three distinct north and
south veins are traceable southwark
through other properties nearly to
the Mizpah, the entire mineralized
zone between Tonopah and main
lodge Of Ray district. The Commo-
dore company began sinking its prin-
cipal double compartment shaft two
weeks ago and has reached a depth
Of thirty feet, under the immediate
superinteadence of Frank Naughton.
The timOering and mining like work
manship is hrst-class in every res
meet. The most material fact, how
ever. is that a perfectly defined
three-foot ledge OF gold ore is being
miped as work progresses. 1t is
nearly vertical, trending northeast
and southwest, and has very smooth
hanging and foot-walls. with the
much-prized clay gouge in evidence
all the time. The ore is mainly de-
composed quartz, highly colored by
iron and manganese, and carries fine
but free gold. The assays, emitting
mention OF a small proportion of sill
yer values, run all the way from
81 40 to 81 % from 8 Is TO $42 90
intermediately, the average samples
showing $l4 90 gold per ton Being
gold and free, ore shown in quantity
BY three parallel lodges about 400
feet apart, the property surely shows
up a present and great prospective
value. We hope to present a more
detailed report dnring the while the
capable management is uncovering a
bonanza.
Montana-TOnOpah.
Every few days a new strike is
made in some one of the workings Of
this now much talked Of valuable
mining property. The ore now being
taken from the winze fifty feet west
OF the 400 level is Of high grade
and when sorted will mill at least
$1,000 ton. The winze is down 40
feet in leuge matter seven feet wide;
an average of the entire ledge will
undoubtedly assay $3.50. The rich
vein in this ledge which assays $1,000
is about l6 inches wide and is widen.

Montana Tonopah ore is now in tran
sit TO Salt Lake where it will be re-
duced. The second car will follow in
a few days and before long the Mon
tana- Tonopah win become dividend
payer. On the 5l2-level drifts east
and west are being driven. The east
drift will connect with the North
Star drift west and when the connec-
ton is made a good current of air

property and the stock should be
quoted at 50 80 per share.

Gold Belt.

Work is going steadily forward on
the property Of the Tonopah Gold
Belt Mining company, The formation
is changing in the bottom of their
main working shaft. 1t looks as if
the porphyry was coming in. The
whole formation shows streak of clay
gouge with little quartz coming in,
showing the near approach of a vein
or vein formation. The plan ON start
ing the shaft was to cut the vein at
about 100 feet. The gouge is more or
less mineralized 1t will now be nee
essary to timber the shaft as far as
gone before the sinking can be con
tinued 1t will be remembered that
this property is one of the few that
shows vein cropping nearly She
whole length of the claim, These
groupings give assays from So to SIG
per ton in gold and silver. The ledge
shows from one to six feet wide. This
property should develop in first
class mine. As soon as the timbering
is completed the working force will
be increased aud work rushed on the
main shaft.

Superintendent Fleming of the Sill

the shaft for the present The rea-
son therefor constitutes the first in.
stance of the kind developed up to

has an important significance as to
the future of that particular proper
ty. At the depth of $50 feet the
within hoist is unable to handle the in
flow of water. For several "shifts"
about 725 gallons were raised per
hour without apparent diminution,
The natural inference is that this
water has been stored in an ore chan
mel or ledge. The difficulty will be
promptly met by the installation of a
steam hoist and pump.

Of which are locked and the keys In

thus so zealously guarded is described
in some notes on the history of the
college as the Skeleton" of Jeremy

BYsHIS OWN CONFESSION

not resist that feeling. It pushed me
on and ] killed. Yes, felt good after
1t was over. 1t was quickly done.
When the body fell limp from me my
first thought was to dispose of IT,"
In another detailed confession in
the Jail Alfred Knapp told how he had
murdered Ida Gibhart, the little West
indianapolis girl. After Knapp had
murdered the child, he doubled the
body up and put IL in tool box in
the barn he said and fastened down
the lid.
Knapp says he was in the crowd of
indignant people which gathered when
the child's body was found and that
he denounced the cruel murder as
loudly as any of them.
From Indianapolis comes the news
that Anna May Gamble. the fourth
wife of Knapp, who married him a
few weeks ago continues obdurate In
her determination not to believe her
husband the moral monster which his
confession establishes, and she is ex-
ceedingly bitter against his relatives
because, she says, they opposed her
marriage, and also because she holds
them responsible for his present pre-
dicament.
He loves me and love him" said
she, several times repeated. "All that
| am afraid of is that they Will Kill
him in the electric chair. II they send
him to the penitentiary 1t won't be so
bad, because | can go and see him
once in a while"
In view of Knapps facility of get
ting away with former wives. 1t is
scarcely supposable that he would
have dallied long with his latest aces
sion
Knapp, despite the fact that he
| found three women who accepted him
as husband, is anything but good look
ing. He is simply mild-mannered.
and by his smooth words doubtless
achieved what his appearance never
would have accomplished
At present he is at his worst, for
he is unshaven and generally IN
kempt, appearing more the arch fiend
that he is than might otherwise be the
case. He is about l40 pounds In
weight, of medium build. has coal
black hair, with significant patches OF
white at the top of his head, and
brownish eyes that look at one without
a wink.
His hands are noticeably large and
strong, just such as man must have
to commit the murders he has con-
fessed.
Knapp's confession is as follows:
ION Jan. 81, 1894. | killed Emma
Littleman in lumber yard In Gest
street, Cincinnati On Aug. l, 1894.
killed May Eckert in Walnut street.
opposite the Y. NJ. C. A., in Cincinnati.
