Tonopah Standard.

That the Tonopah Standard is close
to rich body of ore there can be no
doubt. The bottom of the shaft, which
is down 45O feet, is full of ledge matter,
a decomposed quartz with sulphides.

some of it and secured quite string of
gold in the pan. He is enthusiastic
over the outlook and from present indi-
cations the Standard will soon enter
the list of producing Tonopah mines.

LONE MOUNTAIN

The extreme cold weather of the last
three weeks has in no way retarded
development in the Lone Mountain dis
trict. More work is now being done
than at any time during the year and
this week several companies have re-
sumed work.
Mr.. f. A. King of Chicago, who owns
the control of the stock in the Tonopah-
Belcher, has given instructions to sink
the old shaft to greater depth and a
force of men were started to work
Thursday. This property has been a
producer since the 70's and has consid-
erable shipping ore exposed.
On the west of the Tonopah- Belcher
IS located the Anaconda Tonopah which
has been doing development work con
tinually for the last twelve months. A
large amount of ore is exposed, con-
sisting of galena, carbonates and black
oxide of copper, all carrying good val
ues in gold and silver, with heavy ex-
cess of iron. Recently five feet of
copper ore was opened, showing aver
age values in copper of 1916 per cent
and Superintendent Mcdonald reported
yesterday that an another vein had beer
opened which was 4 feet wide, averag.
ing 40 per cent lead, q ounces in silver
and per cent copper. Considerable
ore is on the dump and as soon as thu
snow is off ore bins will be erected ant
Preparations made for shipping to thu
Salt Lake smelters.
The Princess Maude is looking fine
and great headway is being made in tn,
crosscut. The ledge which outcroppeC
on the surface will soon be cut and it il
believed that it will give high values

as result, most of our well.beaten
roads are now on permanent lines
Again, the farming community is be-
ginning TO patronize those who make 1
business OF mining coal for the trade, in
stead Of digging the fuel themselves. We
see the teams hitched to sulky and in
some instances gang-plows, preparing
our soil, which ia not excelled, in the
northern states, for subsequent crops.
While cOmplimenuing our township, we
have some notable elevations, when con-
sidercd from the view obtained. A few
days since in company with Mr.. Hanlon's
son. we viewed the new city of Garrison,
the aid of telescope, from the Blue
Hills, fifteen miles away, and from my
own land, the fagpole near the Ram
stad ranch is visable twenty miles away.
and still the traveller over our town is
hardly sensible Of any view points worth
consideration. et-'>'"- : -s-.-''1s",'A~S
Douglas Creek is supplied with liR-
mite in unlimited quantities, so that fuel
will be within reach OF the settler for q

doors, the best Of water in our wells, and
q contented people, We see q future
spread out before US which may we'll be
