New Work Contemplated.
While in the east recently John Nc
Kane made the final arrangements
with Charles M. Schwab for the pur-
chase OF the Lockhart group of
claims, which lies west of the Tono-
pah Extension. There are eight
claims in the group, namely, the Bur

master. Development work will be.
gin on them at once and will be Wig
orously prosecuted. The claims are
all favorrbly located, being on a line

North star.
During the week raise was start
ed in the north crosscHt OF the $50
foot level by Superinte ndent McCar
thy and had not proceeded far when
a big body Of ore carrying high values
was disclosed. The shoot opened up
is supposed to be the upper part Of
the ledge which was cut in the floor
Of the crosscut about three weeks
ago, aud which was cut at about a
point where a fault occurred. The
company is taking out considerable
quantities of high grade ore every
day and is preparing for big ship
ment.
Has Begun Work.
A force Of men was started out
Yesterday to Gold Mountain to begin
work on the group of five claims be-
longing to the Tonopah Gold Noun
tain Mining and Milling company.
The property adjoins the Tonopah
Union and the Tonopah Gold Noun
tain, and is owned principally by
Philadelphians. On the surface nu
merous lodges, assaying from 50 to
s54 in gold, have been opened up, and
and on some of these work will be
prosecuted. j. S. Stotler is the res
ident manager for the company.
Opening a Rich Vein.
r. L. Johns and James f. Forman
are pushing work on group of five
claims owned by them four miles
south Of Tonopah, and this side of
Gold Mountain. On one of the claims
very rich stringer has been opened
up, and from it some fine specimens
showing gold have been secured. Pan
tests made at different points along
the vein show the existence of gold
in paying quantities, and the indica-
tons favor the opening up of rich
shoot of ore.
