Dying Out.

During the time I have been In the
Eist,m cities have heard twice as much
talk about Copper river and Nome as

business has been completed.
Golden Anchor.
The shaft is still going down
through lode porphyry and has
reached depth of 1915 feet. The in.
flow of water has increased consid.
erably of late, which makes the pro-
gress of the work u little slower than
it would otherwise be.
North Star.
A strike is reported in the north
crosscut of the 1850 level The
crosscut is now out SO feet from the
measuring point. At ninety-two
feet small streak Of high grade ore
has been encountered, pitching north
and running east and west. The ore
resembles that recently struck on
the $50 foot level. The drift which
is being run for air to connect with
the Montana Tonopah is in thirty
two feet At the present rate of
progress, the connections will prob.
ably be made by December LIST.

Key Pittman has purchased an in
trest in the Red Rock, Fissure and

are the same claims in which John
McKane bought a half interest from
the original owners, Kernick, Taylor
and McCleland.
The Mizpah.
A strike on the 700 foot south level
in the Mizpah is reported. The ore
encountered is high grade, and the
depth at which it has been found is
the greatest at which any values

group is not as extensive as that
which has been done on the Combina-
tion, the showing is said to be every

to be paid for the property has not
yet been officially stated, it is gener
ally believed that the deal involves
something more than Sl00, 900. Mr.
McKane states that the purchasers
will Immediately commence active
mining operations on the claims. Mr..
Mckane has also still further inter
ested himself in the future OF Goldfield
by the purchase of other properties
there. Since the contamination of a
deal on last Wednesday, he is hall

first made its assignment, Fred

mento representing Hall, Luhrs &
Co. the firms chief creditors, and
since that time has been laboring

umed the debts of the insolvent firm
and which is now preparing to do
business. The accounts due Lothrop
& Davis should be paid 10 them in
dvidually at the office.
The Tonopah stockholders of the
concern are several OF our leading
mining men and the firm of Hall,
Lnhrs & Co. also own considerable
stock. Mr.. Williams Of that firm
will return to Sacramento next week
for q short while, and will then come
back to Tonopah and continue the
management of the corporations af-
fairs.
1t is the intention of the Lothrop-
Davis company to carry the most
complete line of groceries ever offered
for sale in Tonopah. As all of their
purchases will be made in carload
lots, individual buyers will have the
advantage OF the lowest rate that
can be made. 1t addition to this. it
Is the expressed intention Of the new
concern to make special prices to
hotels, res taurants and other parties

The Goldfeld district seems to be

vealed to all prospectors in that
region aud the rapid growth of the
community Miners not only from
Tonopah but from other nearby
camps are becoming interested IN

first known as Grandpa.
The purchase Of the Combination
group of claims week before last by
l.. l., Patrick, and the more recent
transfer Of the Jumbo group to John
Mckane and other capitalists is re.
garded as ample proof that the more
miners are eager to be-
come identified with the growth of
the new camp.
l.. l.. Patrick went to Goldheld on
Thursday and returned Friday night.
He says that the camp, in his estima.

About sixty feet beyond the vein on
which they are working, the crop

and the crosscut IS being driven ON in
the hope of striking this. A crafty.
ing feature about the development Of
these mines is that, in doing this pre-
