The Great District is Attracting At

(Tonopah Bonanza)
Conditions at Lone Mountain are
constantly improving. The hills are
filed with prospectors and the white
tented camps of the different mines
being worked are seen in every direc-
ton. The recent rich strike in the
Nevada-Alpine is proving better as
more development is done and the man
agement is confident this will show a
larger tonnage 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 oil
workings. A shipment just settled for,
gives values of over $3.50 a ton. Ore
Is being taken out only in t%hescourse of
development. Eighteen men are being
worked and three cars of ore shipped
monthly.
John A. Kirby with Secretary Lang
ley visited the Acknowledgment du--
ing the week and report satisfactory
progress being made. Mr.. 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 s
not high grade enough for shipment.
The values are improving as greater
depth is obtained and there is no ques-
ton but the near future will see the
Anaconda a mine second to the Nevada
Alpine. They are drifting on the ore
and only the ore thus encountered IS
being raised for shipment. The within
is working nicely and suitable build
ings for the accommodation of a large
force of men have been erected. James
Parker, superintendent of the Column
bia 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 valu %
of 5 per cent copper, SO gold and ~
ounces silver. This disclosure is i'm
portant in proving the continuity of
the ore shoot that showed on the sur
face. This property is owned by Los
Angeles capitalists who expect to sink
the shaft several hundred feet running
l..cx. xLo x-o,a f,or, aoab b,nlraI
feet.
A new strike is reported from the
A~rgenta. Wallace Mcneil was in from
the mine yesterday and reports the ore
a copper sulphide carrying high silver
values and a small percentage in lead.
A within has been installed on the Tono-
pah Treasury and the shaft will be
sunk $50 feet before prospecting the
vein. A bunk house, blacksmithshop and
boarding house have been erected, and
it is the intention of the company 20
continue work throughout the winter.
A within has been installed at the Tono-
pah Monarch and sinking commenced.
A fine vein of copper, lead and gold ore
is showing at this point and drifting
will commence at the 100-foot level.
Good progress is being made at the En-
terprise and the management is well
pleased with results obtained since e.
Stunning work 60 days ago. The Nam
moth Copper group is upder option and
- ic avnaata1 +ha h,1x-arc will oorny ", q N n a
work in the near future. This property
has a 3-foot vein showing average val
ues of % per cent copper. AT Princess
Maude, work is progressing satisfactor-
lily and the crosscut from the 300-foot
level to a parallel vein is in porphyry
which all runs $14 gold. 1t is ex-
pected the vein will be reached within
20 feet. The Big Limit group, owned
by Wingfeld and Hennessey are pre-
pairing to resume work. This property
has several hundred tons of lead ore on
the dump and is considered very valu-
able ground. 1t abjoins the Anaconda
on the north and no doubt is the same
as the Anaconda vein.
In speaking of the Nevada-Alpine
mine, Thomas j. Lynch, one of the
owners of it says that from present in
dications there are at least 5000 tons
of ore of first-class values now blocked
out in the mine, besides a large tonnage
of milling ores. The mine never locke |
better and is improving day by day.
