The following notes from the Tono
pah Miner give some idea of the work
being done in the mining camp which
promises to make Nevada again ia
nous in the mining circles OF this
western country and place it among
the leading mineral States CT this
country:
The West End-On Thursday one
OF the most important strikes of the
winter was made in the West End. Al
a depth of 800 feet the shaft peno
trated ledge of blue iron-stained
quartz having all the characteristics
of the first quartz struck in the Frac-
ton and Montana-Tonopah. Yesterday
the entire bottom of the shaft was in
vein matter. The lode is pitching to
the north at an angle CT As degrees
and seems to be making for the Nc
Namara ground No assays have been
made as yet. but the appearance of tho
rock indicates that it will carry sat
1sfactOry values. This strike is most
significant. since it adds greatly to
the speculative value Of the proper
ties to the northwest and materially
enlarges the area Of proved territory
The next fortnight is likely to sec
some great developments in this pro
prty.
TShopah Gold Mcuntain-The tunnel
is now in 425 feet and is following the
main ledge, in ore running from ST to
IS in gold. 1t is the intention to start
another tunnel at once on the soufi.

with the old tunnel to secure ventiia-

began the work of running levels and
making measurements for the new tun
mel. Mr.. Runge. the secretary of the
company, is still in Philadelphia. but
will return to TOnopah in about a
month. R. Aoschl, who is in charge of
the work, is pushing development with
Characteristic energy.
North Tonopah-D. H. Jackson.
vice president of the North Tonopah
Gold Mining Company. who is now in
Philadelphia, has placed sufficient
amount of the treasury stock to en-.
able the company to begin active de-
velOpment work at an early date. The
property consists of three claims tho
Sarah. the Blanche, and the Edith
adjoining the Little Tonopah ground
on the northwest. While the asses
ment work was being done on the
Blanche claim a ledge was uncover ed
which gave assays of s25 and upward
1t is the intention of the company tC
sink a shaft at this point as soon as
the machinery can be secured.
Tonopah Home-The Tonopah Home
Mining company has been organized
to work a group of claims compose

This property is exceedingly we'll sit

on the northeast. The recent develop
ments in the King Tonopah. which
shows the lode porphyry and ledge
at $50 feet, is of great importance t.

King Toncpah-A strike was mad
in the King Tonopah on Tuesday a
a depth of $40 feet A three foot veil
was opened up and it has widened Gu
considerably during the past tire
days. The ore is identical with tina
first struck in the Montana-Tonopal
and carries good values. The Kin
Tonopah shaft is situated about 400
feet north of the Monotana- Tonopa
shaft, and this strike extends tn
known mineral zone nearly mile fu
Their north.
The Midway-Excellent progress
being made at the Midway. The shal
is now down $50 feet. and is in tn
lode porphyry of the district, whic
shows characteristic stringers OF quart
carrying small values. The Midwa
which adjoins the famous Mizpah
the northwest, is thoroughly equippe
to sink 1000 feet. and it is believe
that long ere this depth is attained tn
Mizpah ledge will be encountered.
The Montana onopah-The drift
the 46O-foot level is in "a feet and co
tinues to follow the ledge to the sout
west. The VIM is down 10 feet. III

depression of last week and is no
