Inspection of the big New York
Tonopah mine and its operation en-
ables the Bonanza to speak with great
er accuracy as to the work going on
and the decidedly encouraging fea-
lures disclosed in the deepest opening.
The solidly timbered working shaft,
5x9 feet in the clear, is now below the
s25-foot point and sinking Will con-
tinue right along, the works being full
ly equal to the task of reaching 1900
feet depth. AT 605 feet a two-inch
width seam of quartz anne in, which
has proven continuous for twenty feet
downward and widens 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 a slight dip to the south,
Just the same as the rich ledge which
trend to the New York-TOnopah
ground. from which VT opine that it
is a feeder and that the main ore
bodies will be encountered in the south
drift as it shall near the base of the
ore-bearing channel. The manage
ment. however, are wisely extending
drifts both north and south from the
s25 level, which are now out fifteen
feet from the. shaft. Both these car
~ small stringers of mineralized
quartz and the indications are that a
yeritable bonanza may be encountered
at any time.
Tonopah Central-The Tonopah Cen
trail properties, which are situated
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 points,
upon II of which a body of rich ore
was encountered several months ago.
The main working shaft, timbered
throughout, is now down 600 feet, for
which a gasoline hoist has been or
dered. The president of this company
who is here making a full examina-
ton of the property, is w. P. Wilson,
of the San Francisco Office of Wells,
Fargo & Co. He is accompanied by
George Stevens, identified with the
Eagle Rubber company of the same
city and who is also interested in h
Tonopah Central. Treasury stock
of he company finds ready buyers at

been sold to carry on deVeloplhehe
work for months to come.

consolidation has been effected, by

vice-president, and G. Wenkler, secre-
tary. The properties acquired adjoin
the Silver Top and Montana Tonopah
on the west, and a four-foot ledge
carrying small values has been pros

sinking will now be commenced.
Molly-The Molly shaft is down $50
feet and is coming into the rhpolite
porphyry which shows manganese and
iron stains. Before starting the en-

MOODY MERRILL MAY
ESCAPE PUNISHMENT
Woman Who Caused Arrest Can
not Be Found.

BOSTON, May 19.-Moody Merrill, un-
der arrest in New York for the alleged
embezzlement of $4,000 from Mrs. Sarah
Cohen, may be released and the prose-
cution dropped. He is the merchant and
politician of Boston who disappeared
years ago and was arrested recently IN
New York.
1t lies entirely with Mrs. Cohen to say
whether the man whom she has pursued
when all other alleged victims pocketed
their losses without murmur shall go
free. The State is poweriess to act
owing to a statutory provision that is
rarely imposed in cases involving extra
dition. Mrs. Cohen's affidavit to the et-
feet that the embezzlement alleged in the
indictment was committed and, further
that she is not prompted in her prose
cution by desire to obtain money from
the accused is essential to effect extra
dtttor.
1t must accompany the papers that
are to be sent to the governor Of New
York. At present the authorities are
unable to find Mrs. Cohen, and so have
not procured her affidavit.

DETECTIVES LOOKING
FOR ABSENT CASHIER

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. May 1.-THE
disappearance of Oliver T. Sherwood
cashier of the Southport National Bank,
coupled with the fact that he is alleged
to have used about 100000 of the banks
funds, has stirred the police. A warrant

Besides the shortage in the bank funds.
Sherwood. it Is said. is several thou
SAND dollars short in his accounts of
the estates OF Burr Perry, of Fairfield,
and Francis Jeliff, of Southport. Of

funds is covered by a surplus OF s115,-
900 and the estates by ample bonds, SO
that neither depositors nor the heirs Of
the estates will suffer losses through the
defalcations.
Sherwood is forty-four years old, and
has a wife and two sons.

scented by Secretary Chamberlain in his
speech at Birmingham gives, Chancellor

CHINA SAYS THAT SHE
CANNOT OPEN DOOR
Impossible to Include New Ports
in Treaty.

PEKIN. May 19.-China, in reply to
further representations OF the United
States and japanese ministers. has again
pointed out the impossibility of includ-
ing in the commercial treaties the open
ing TO trade of Manchurian towns, as
account of Russian opposition.
The American minister proposes that
China open Mukden, Hardin, and a small
port at the mouth of the Yalu River. C.
c. Baldwin, of New York, a represen-
tative of the Southern cotton mills, who
has investigated the trade conditions in
Manchuria. reports that the American
cotton trade was increasing enormously
until recently. when the Russians be-
gan to exert pressure upon the Chinese,
amounting to coercion. for second or
ders for Russian firms amounting to
100000 bales of goods, which otherwise
would have gone to America.
Mr.. Baldwin believes that unless Rus
sian absorption of Manchuria IS checked
the United States will be deprived of a
promising market for cottons.
