EFFINGER's BIG BONANZA,
A New Discovery Now Produe-
ing Shipping Ore.

M. l.. Etfinger, the well.known
salt Lake broker, who has been in
Tonopah for some time past recently
purchased six claims located in the
foothills on the eastern side of the Red
mountains, and about forty miles
south OF Coaldale, and judging from
the present showing the property
promises to become one of the biz
mines of Nevada. The claims were
located by Addie McAfee in January
last and are about six miles from
McAiee's ranch in Fish Lake valley
A strong vein from three to four feet
vide outcropped on the surface
capped with deeomposed porous iron
which carried values up to $3.50 per
ton in gold and lies in a contact of
lime and porphyry, the latter being
the hanging wall and carrying values
up to $40 per ton in gold. On this
veln a tunnel has been started and
IN less than ten feet of drifting 300
sacks of ore have been made up
which will average 2154 per ton in
gJld. Beneath the Gaping the vein
Is a quartz porphyry conglomerate
which maintains the same values.
and this shoot so far as prospected
on the surface is over 200 feet long.
Distant from here 300 feet a shaft
Is being sunk on the same vein and
at depth of ten feet the average
values are $62 per ton. These values
run about ounce for ounce in gold and
silver.
Mr.. Effinger now has twelve men
and an assayer at work and has this
week sent 1000 sacks to the mine.
The district is supplied with water
from springs, while plentiful supply
can be obtained for milling purposes
IN the valley and fuel can be hauled
from the coalfields at Coaldale.
The extensions of these claims are
owned by Messrs. Efiuger and Sin
clair who have commenced develop-
nent work on the same.

NEVADAS BONANZA CAMP HAS ITS FZRST Bic 81 AzE

Shortly after 4:3O on the mornino
Of the Oath inst the cry of Fire on the
main street of Tonopah followed by
the changing of the fire bell aroused
those of the citizens of Tonopah who
were not already on the street or
preparing for the days Iabors
Smoke was first seen issuing from
Booker q Bradford's survey Office,
and the fire had already gained con.
siderable hold of the infiammable
contents comprising plats, papers,
ETC., before the firemen could get to
work. A bucket brigade was quickly
organized and water passed from
buildings nearby, and the chemical
engines under Chief Mckenzie were
put to work, while volunteers at.
tached the big hose to the hydrant

So far it is impossible to state defn-
itety the origin Of the FIRE, which will
probably never be satisfactorily ex-
planned, and but for the heroic efforts
OF the fire brigade and willing volun-
teers must have ended in an appalling
loss. Where all of the many helpers
worked so nobly it is almost invidious
to single out any individual for special
praise, but this must be given in no
unstinted way to Jack Hennessy.

For Protection Against Fire.

Three largely attended meetings
OF citizens have been held at the opera
house this week to consider the adop-
ton OF means for the greater protec-
tion OF the town against fire. Tom
Logan presided and many prominent
men spoke on the subject, the repre-
sentative of the Touopah Water com
pany stating that the supply from
Rye Patch would be here by August
and the Crystal Water company Of
Tered free a large supply of water if
the town provided tanks.
Subscriptions were made amount
ing to S525 for the purchase of hooks
and ladders and other equipment and
committees of arrangement and fin
ance were appointed, the latter to
make door to door canvas for funds
and so successful have their efforts
been that 81; ;567 have been obtained
and 1t is confidently believed that a
total OF $1,000 will be secured in a
few days. At last nights meeting
there was some discussion as to the
lire appliances which shall be pur-
chased and committee was appoint
ed to draft petition to the county
commissioners to bond the town for
$40, 600 and create special tax for
the repayment of the sum, which
matter will be voted on by the citi-
zens. The meeting adjourned until
Tuesday night at the Merchants no.

A REPUTATION.
John Mckane Says the SUMS
Story Is Absurd.
Carson City, New, Nav 9th.

9Oh Wy, NeF., May ZIJh,
To Tonopah BONANZA: In the last
issue Of the The Tonopah Sun the fol-
lowing is published "Schwab after
the Mcnamara Reports from San
Francisco state it is generally be.
lieved that the Mcnamara is to be
taken over by the Schwab McKane
crowd, who own the Tonopah Exten.
sion and other mines north and west
OF the McNamara. Although from
official sources little definite informa.
tion is to be gained. 1t is said that
the probable purchase of Mcnamara
by the large holders of Tonopah Ex-
tension is due to the fact that the Ex
tension veins apex in the Mcnamara
ground.
The absurdity of the foregoing ar
ticle is apparent to every one famil-
iar with Tonopah and would not re.
quire any reply from me, did not OBJ
lect to the use Of my friends names
and my name, for the purpose of
fraudulently booming a stock far
above its merits TO be handed TO in.
nocent and trusting purchasers.
The article was apparently written
10 San Francisco aud evidently by
some curb stone broker or weak and
overburdened stakeholder.
II unfortunate that Mr.. Branson.
new conner in the camp and upon
the institution OF his paper. should
have permitted himself to be imposed
upon by INSCRIPTIONS stock -jobbers.
The fact that such report was not
published in the Tonopah Miner and
the fonopah BONANZA, Tonopah S old
and reliable papers. is sufficient in
itself to show the disreputable source
from which IL came and the fraudu.
lent purpose for which it was print.

About two months ago one OF the
the largest holders in the Mcnamara
company offered TO obtain control of
OF the property for me at bargain,
but | then informed him that we had
no use for the Mcnamara ground and
would not buy the stock at any price.
That was the first, last and only
time the subject was ever mentioned. |
| did not mention the proposition to
Mr.. Sehwab or any OF my associates
as 1t would have subjected me to rid |

The apex of the Extensions forty
loot vein is 300 feet from the McNa. |
mara and the apex of the eighty four
loot vein, which has just been ex-
posed, is 1913 feet from the McNa-
mara. Thes course of these veins is
