Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-11-18
LONE MT.
The Great District is
Attracting Attention

Conditions at Lone Mountain are CON
stantly improving. The hills are filled
with prospectors and the white tented
camps of the different mines being
worked are seen in every direction.
The recent rich strike in the Nevada
Alpine is proving better as more de-
velopment is done and the management
is confident this will show larger ton
mage of ore in the near future than has
been developed in the old workings. A
remarkable feature of this strike is the
fact the ore carries the same high
values as in the old workings. A ship
ment just settled for, gives values of
over $4,000 ton. Ore is being taken
out only in the course of development.
Eighteen men are being worked and
three cars of ore shipped monthly.
John A. Kirby with secretary Lang-
ley visited the Anaconda -Tonopah dur
ing the week and report satisfactory
progress being made. MIR. Kirby is
directing the work and is well pleased
with improved conditions. About two
feet of copper ore is showing on the
foot wall and lying above this is three
feet of high grade lead carbonates,
with about ten feet more of ore that is
not high grade enough for shipment.
The values are improving as greater
depth is obtained and there is no ques-
tion but the near future will see the
Anaconda, mine second to the Nevada
Alpine. They are drifting on the ore
and only the ore thus encountered is
being raised for shipment, The whim
is working nicely and suitable Buildings
for the accommodation of large force
of men have been erected James
Parker, superintendent of the Columbia
which adjoins the Argenta was in this
week and reports a fine body. of ore
encountered in the drift from the 100
foot level which shows average values
of 5 per cent copper, $500 gold and 70
ounces silver. This disclosure is i'm
portant in proving the continuity of the
ore chute that showed on the surface
This property is owned by Los Angeles
capitalists who expect to sink the shaft
several hundred feet running drifts on
the vein from each hundred feet.
A new strike is reported from the
Argenta. Wallace Mcneil was in from
the mine yesterday and reports the ore
a copper sulphide carrying high silver
: values and small percentage in lead.
A whim has been installed on the Tono-
pah Treasury and the shaft will be
sunk $50 feet before prospecting the
J vein. A bunk house, blacksmith shop
! and boarding house have been erected,
7 and it is the intention of the company
, to continue work throughout the win
ter. A whim has been installed at the
Tonopah Monarch and sinking com
J menced. A fine vein of copper, lead
and gold ore is showing at this point
and drifting will commence at the l00-
foot level. Good progress is being
made at the Enterprise and the man
agement is well pleased with results
obtained since resuming work 60 days
ago. The Mammoth Copper group is
under option and it is expected the buy
ers will commence work in the near
future. This property has a 3-foot
vein showing average values of % per
cent copper. At the Princess Maude,
work is progressing satisfactorily and
the crosscut from the 300-foot Level to
a parallel vein is in porphyry which all
runs Sl4 gold. 1t is expected the vein
will be reached within 20 feet. The
Big Limit group, owned by Wingfeld
and Hennessey are preparing to resume
work This property has several hun
dred tons of lead ore on the dump and
is considered very valuable ground. 1t
adioins the Anaconda on the north and
no doubt is the same as the Anaconda
4 vein.
In speaking of the Nevada-Alpine
mine, Thomas J. Lynch, one of the
n owners of it says that from present in
> dications there are at least 5000 tons Of
! ore Of first-class values now blocked
q out in the mine, besides large tonnage
of milling ores. The mine never locke.
n better and is improving day by day.

Rumors of rich strike at Goldree,

o who came in from there Wednes lay
