First and Second Hand News of
An Important Nevada
Industry

The Tonopah-May Flower company
is being organized to open and de-
velop a block of three claims adjoin-
ing the Mizpah-Extension property on
the north and the Butte-Tonopah on
the east. The lode porphyry at the
surface shows very considerable guam
titles Of quartz carrying values.
A party of Grass Valley men are
said to have struck a rich ledge in
the desert near Pactolus, Nevada, and
from AL Indications the approaching
spring viii! witnes another rush such
as occurred when the Tonopah excite
raent broke out. The news of the find
has been kept quiet, as the miners de-
SIRED to locate the choicest ground
before telling the public.
On Tuesday quartk was struck in
the King Tonopah shaft at a depth
of 200 feet, says the Miner. A num-
Der of stringers carrying good values
have been encountered. The porphyry
in which the stringers are found is
identical with that in the Montana
Tonopah shaft, and there is every in
dication that the strike in the Mon
tana-Tonopah will be repeated in a
very short time in the King Tonopah.
A syndicate, of which Joseph l..
Giroux, the superintendent of the
United Verde copper mines of Ari-
zona, is the central figure, have de-
cided to continue extensive operations
on the Pilot Knob mines in White
Pine county, Nevada. 1t is claimed
that the last two months work in
the drift from the 350-foot level of
the main shaft exposed over 80 feet
of copper sulphide ore, carrying 6 per
cent copper and some gold.
Articles of Incorporation have been
filed in Carson, of the Tonopah-Bel-
mont Water Co. The new company
proposes to pipe water to Tonopah
from the Combination Springs near
Belmont. They claim that they will
furnish $4,000 gallons per day, and
will be ready to supply the water by
the first of June. Mr.. R. c.. Taylor,
a mining man of Tonopah, is at the
head of the new concern. The engi-
neering works will be under the di-
rection of Mr.. Samuel Sorrow, a Los
Angeles engineer.
There have been sensational devel-
opments this week on the H%asbrouck,
Mcintyre and Kernick property at
Gold mountain. The pay streak has
been opened up for fourteen feet, and
shows assays running from $50 to
over $500. There is a two-foot
streak of f1orine-stained quartz, car
rying sulphurets which assays over
5000 per ton. The ledge, which can
be traced on the surface for several
hundred feet, is we'll defined and
solid at the point of discovery, and
shows indications of permanence and
depth.-Miner.
