Blair Estate Wants $16O,OOO
From Mohawk-Alpine

The Silver Peak Gold Mining Com
pany (the Blair Estate) has filed suit
against the Mohawk-Alpine Mining
Company to recover damages for tres
pass. 1t is alleged in the complaint
that the Mohawk-Alpine Company,
through its Homestake claim, has been
wrongfully abstracting and taking away
ores from ledges which apex within the
boundary lines Of the Western Soldier
Claim of the plaintiff company. The
plaintiff asks for $4,000 damages and
a restraining order has been issued en-
joining the defendant company from
the further abstraction of such ores, OF
the working upon any lodges, the apexes
of which lie within the Western Soldier
ground.

it is thought that the Schwab-McKane

have given no intimation as to what
they will do in the premises. Mr. Nc
Kane was seen, but he refused to say
whether he and his. associates would

the United States law adopted as a
whole. He said also that it was inn
possible for a prospector to make a
technically legal location under the
present state law. The prospector, be-
fore he could perfect a location, would
require an attorney and civil engineer
on the ground. Under present con.

THE JIM BUTLER

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Jim Butler Mining Com
pany was held in Philadelphia and the
following directors elected to serve for
the ensuing year: James L. Butler,
John w. Brock, Charles R. Miller, C.
A. Higbee, Francis L. Potts, o. A.
Turner, Thomas M. King, Charles E.
Knox, Clyde A. Heller.
The annual report shows that patents
have been received by the company for
the Butler" "Good Enough" "Mc-
Cullough," Curtis" and Tonopah 8
and 4 claims.
The principal development has been
through the Wandering Boy shaft,
where 257.4 feet of new work has been
dane, Ill feet of this upon vein en-.
countered in prosecuting north from
the east 300 foot level, disclosing al
ore of semi-oxidized nature. 1t is the
intention to upraise and sink, at th'
point of best naturalization, continuing
the drift easterly, to connect eventual!
with Silver Top workings.
The receipts for the year were $27,
276.78 and the disbursements were SIS,
54024, leaving a cash balance on ham
of $11, 1864.

any day.
More than 440 feet of work has been
done on the $50 foot level of the Gold
Bar since August 8, and much of this
work has been done at the small cost Of
$3.50 a foot. This is remarkable con
sidering the fact that the hosting is
being done with a whim. Mr.. Davis is
anxiously awaiting the installation Of
the new machinery on the Gold Bar
and is looking forward to the develop
ment of one of Nevada S biggest mines
in that property.
The Bullfrog National Bank is stead
lily continuing work in its crosscuts with
two shifts of men. The one running
west from the 100-foot level is in about
80 feet, and about the same distance
has been made in the east crosscut

A fourteen-mule team arrived in town
last evening from Manhattan, with
Harry Hudson and guards protecting
the precious cargo of 265 sacks of Man
haitian ore.
This is the second shipment from
Manhattan and demonstrates conclu-
sively that Manhattan has great fu-
ture.
The consignment, as stated above,
comprises 265 sacks of ore (about IL
tons) that will average $1,000 to the
ton and was extracted from the Harry
Hudson lease on the Smith-Auxier
property, which Mr.. Hudson and S. E.
Vermilyea have just purchased for
$50, 900 and which will be Incorporated
as the Manhattan Consolidated Mining
Company.
Another consignment Of six tons will
arrive here Tuesday next and then the
entire lot will be shipped to the West
ern Ore Purchasing company. The ore
was extracted from the ledge at depth
of 80 feet.
Mr.. Hudson says the ex-Recorder w.
j. Rice and Mr.. Granger of Belmont
have the best showing of any in Man
haitian and that they are sure to become
rich. They have lease on grounC

one point in the mine we have 7-foot
vein that returns gold values well above
the S100 mark and from that body alone
could maintain an output much in ex-
cess of our present daily record, said
Mr.. Bragdon. No such plan is con-
tefhplated, however, for we shall con-
tinue our well-known policy of keeping
development we'll in advance of our
production, and the statement is made
simply as a means of illustrating to you
the extent and value' Of our deposits.
Ore is now being broken at five points
and our output is maintained from de-
velopment alone. The rock requires
very little sorting and when effort is
expended in that manner it is solely for
the purpose of separating the various
grades. Nearly all the rock is of ship
ping grade and there is also a consider
able quantity of milling ore.
Operations at the Peer and Pugh
lease on the Cornishman are to be
facilitated within a short time by the in
stallation of an electric hoist During
his recent trip to San Francisco George
w. Peer purchased the plant and it is
now here. 1t is of 15horse power ca
pacity and Immediately after it is
placed the work of lowering the shaft
an additional 100 feet will be started.
At the $50 and 200-foot points drifts
will be run to the ledge now being
crosscut for at the 10O-foot level and it
is believed will result in the finding of
pay ore shoots.
Drifting on the lead is to start with
in few days from the bottom of the
winze being sunk on the lead at the
Nelligan, Keene and associates lease on
the Red King. Values are holding
strong at better than $50 in gold to the
ton and the vein is widening and
Strengthening as the so foot point is
neared A plant of machinery is one of
the contemplated Improvements and is
to be installed within short time.
One Of the largest individual ship
: ments ever made from the Sandstorm
! property was made on Monday of this
week. The ore is from lease No and
consists of 1900 sacks, approximately
80 tons, and has an aggregate value OF
$50, 900. Captain Mayne, who is heavily
; interested in this lease, says that it is
expected that the shipment of these

GOLD MOUNTAIN

The Nevada Goldfelds Development
Company of San Diego, recently let
contract to James Jennings to sink 100
feet on the company's property at Gold
Mountain and Mr.. Jennings, who is an
experienced mining man, will COM
mence active work next Monday. The
ground is exceptionally well located, it
joining the Battleship group on the
north and being in close proximity to
the Tonopah Gold Mountain, the Tono-
pah Wilmington and several other ex-
cellent properties. A representative of
the BONANZA accompanied Mr.. Jen-
nings to the property this week and
was surprised at the showing nit. At
the bottom of ten foot hole is a ledge
four feet wide and well defined An
assay from it gave return of $12.1 10.
Mr.. jennings will follow the ledge
down with an incline shaft and there is
every reason to believe that he will
make the property good producer.

GOLDFIELD

Plans have been formulated by the
Mcmahon Gold Mining company to at
once prospect and prove up part of
their 100 acres of mineral ground To-
Gated in the Diamondfield section. A
portion of the holdings are located near
the Brooklyn and the remainder in the
vicinity of the Jumbo Extension COM
pany's estate. Surface exploration is
now on and has resulted in the finding
of number of promising appearing
veins.
Ore of good milling grade is being
mined in the Wedge claim of the Sand
storm Extension Mining company and
values are steadily increasing and de-
velopment continues. The shaft is
down depth of rs feet and from its
bottom a crosscut has been extended a
distance of S5 feet west at which point
the ledge was encountered. A drift has
been run along its trend for a short
distance which is demonstrating that
the vein is standing up well and is
clearly defined.
After less than 25 feet of sinking an
18-inch stringer has been cut in the
shaft on the January Jones lease on
the Triangle claim, Ibut as yet little in
the way of values has been developed.
The work of lowering the shaft or
the Lucky Strike claim near Diamond
field, to the 10O-foot point is progress
ing favorably and when the result is ac,
complished crosscuts are to be run out
to the ledge and drifts extended along
it's strike for the purpose of locating al
ore shoot of merit.
A contract has been let for SO feet O

suit is accomplished the shaft will hav
