--0ther Important Notes.
Inspection of the big New York
Tonopah mine and its operation en-
ables the BONANZA to speak with
greater accuracy as TO the work go
ing on and the decidedly encouraging
features disclosed in the deepest
opening. The solidly timbered work
ing shaft, 5x9 feet in the clear, is
now below the 625-foot point and
sinking will continue right along, the
works being fully equal to the task of
reaching 1900 feet depth. At 605
feet a two-inch width seam of quartz
came in, which has proved continu-
Gus for twenty feet downward, and
wldens to one foot at the bottom.
Assays give returns in both gold and
silver, but are not sufficiently high
to make it milling ore. The ledge
has slight dip to the south, just
the same as the rich lodges which
trend to the New York Tonopah
ground, from which we opine that it
is feeder" and that the main ore
bodies will be encountered in the
south drift as it shall near the base of
Mt Butler and the southern side Of
the ore bearing channel. The man
agement, however, are wisely ex-
tending drifts both north and south
from the 625 level, which are now out
fifteen from the shaft Both these
carry small stringers of mineralized
quartz and the indications are that a
veritable bonanza may be encoun
tered at any time.
TOnOpah Central.
the Tonopah Central properties,
which are situate about one mile
south of the principal Tonopah mines,
consists of eight claims. These are
the base of the incorporation formed
and capitalized through the efforts OF
c. H. Jorden, of San Francisco,
where several good veins are shown
at different points, upon one of which,
]
several months ago. The main work
ing shaft, timbered throughout, is
now down 80 feet, for which a gaso-
! line hoist has been ordered. The
president of this company, who is
here making full eXaminati ton of the
property, is W. p. Wilson, of the
San Francisco Office of Wells, Fargo
q Co He is accompanied by George
Stevens, identified with the Eagle
Rubber company of the same city
aud who is also interested in the
Tonopah Central. Treasury stock
of the company finds ready buyers al
80 cents per share and sufficient has
been sold to carry on development
work for months to come.
TOnOpah Home.
An important local consolidation
has been effected, by which the Ton
opah Consolidated Mining company
owning the jim Crow No. | and No
2 and Homestake claims, unite with
the Umatilla and Umbria claims, q
new company called the Tonopaf
Home Mining company of Arizona
and Nevada, with capital of 81 900,
900. The officers include W. j. Doug
lass, president s. A. Knapp, vice
president, and g Wenkler, secre.
tary. The properties acquired ad
Join the Silver Top and Montana
Tonopah on lhe west, and "a four-foot
ledge carrying small values has been
prospected by shallow shafts, but
deep sinking will now be commenced
Molly.
The Molly shaft is down 1870 feet
and is coming into the rhyolite por.
phyry which shows manganese and
iron stains. Before starting the en-.
CINE 800 feet of new cable were
wound on the drum. The shaft will
be sunk to a depth of 500 feet more
or less depending on the character
of the porphyry encountered, when
cross cutting will be commenced.
Twenty thousand feet of mining tim.
bers are being delivered at present
to carry on the work.
Paymaster.
During the past week work has
been continued in north and south
drifts on 81 foot level Both these
drifts are in high grade ore. Sink,
ing the shaft has been resumed and
it will be sunk as rapidly as possible
to the 100-foot level from which point
the ore body will be opened up and
stopped out for shipment.
