For more than eleven months Ar
thur Kunze has been in charge OF
continuous development work on the

last June by Judge Ray to Makeever
Bros. of Chicago. In that time over
1900 feet of underground work has
been done, a hoist installed and the
main shaft sunk to a depth of 225
feet and on this and the 100 foot level
four lodges have been explored in
c~rosscuts. These lodges vary in width
from seven feet to twenty feet and
in value from $26 to $751; on an aver
age while streaks of good width yield
assays as high as $1,000 ozs. silver
and II ozs. gold to the ton. On the
225 foot level 400 feet of drifting on
the vein has been done and by actual
measurement there are now 10000
tons of ore blocked out running from
$26 to $81 per ton and the dump will
average $l47 per ton, in addition to
sacked ore which will average up in
the hundreds of dollars per ton. A
trial shipment will be made on tine
18th inst. to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company at Reno and care.
full tests will be made to determine
the best mode of treatment and wher
this is decided and the question o
cheap fuel solved Mr.. Makeever will
erect a suitable reduction plant. TIT

The writer is prepared at all times
to buy or sell the leading active To

been built up upon my policy OF BUY
ing stocks for clients at the best pos

clients the lower quotations OF the
market. | have largely confined my
recommendations is the good stocks
and while | am in a position to buy or
sell any of the Tonopah stocks pre-
fer recommending only those having
intrinsic values as mines or eXcep-

mon, Montana, Midway, Belmont,

bio properties and | believe will make
money for those who buy them now,
If you have bought any of these stocks
at higher prices, it will be to your
interest to buy at present prices u
u down average cost, for the stocks
are good. Most of the other Tono-
pah stocks are prospects as-yet and
there is consequently, considerable
speculation in them and some RISK.

president, has recently made a show
ing that is placing this stock in the
class for investment. | recommend
Tonopah Gold Mountain and believe
that If bought now it will make money
for the buyer.

TO the listed stocks for the reason
that they a be watched from day to
day. II they become worth more the
buyer knows it. If the stocks decline
it is also known to the buyer and he
can buy or sell as the tendency OF the
market influences his Judgment.
