An important strike has been

though no particulars could be OBJ
tanned from the management it is
learned that a ledge between two
and three feet in width has been en-
countered on the 400-foot level,
northeast of the shaft, that gives ex-
ceedingly rich values. This is GER

some day they would strike it. Man

Strike Booth EciDse

The Montana-Midway Extension is
the name of new corporation, with
the following well-known citizens of
Tonopah as officers: Uri B. Curtis,
president; Zeb Kendall, vice-presi-
dent, and Fred seybolt, secretary and
treasurer. These with Donald B.
Gillies, F. A. Keith and James H.
Sullivan constitute the board of di-
rectors The company owns the Ar
rarat, Bobby Burns and Sugar Pine
claims and the Railroad and Triangle
fractions. The Railroad fraction is
an extension of the Bullwhacker
claim of the Midway and adjoins the
Red Plume claim of the Tonopah
Company, being one of the best sit
uated pieces of ground in the district.
The Triangle fractions are an exten-
sion of the Montana, and the Ararat,
Bobby Burns and Sugar Pine claims
adjoin the Triangle fractions. The
company has entered into a contract
with ]. l.. Haddigan, recently of
Butte, to sink 1000 feet with a dia-
mond drill on the Railroad fraction.
The results of this exploration will
determine whether or not this meth
cd Of prospecting shall be adopted on
the other territory of the company
This will be the first case in which a
diamond drill has been used in this
district to prospect from the surface,
and Mr.. Haddigan's operations will
be watched with great interest. The
directorate of the company is COM
posed of successful mining men of
this district and there is every rea-
son to believe that they will make
a good producer out of the Montana
Midway Extension Company.
At the close of work last night
the diamond drill was down $50 feet
and had cut several stringers of rich
! quartz, some of the rock resembling
the Midway ore. The drill is doing
/ excellent work and is making from
7 twenty to twenty-five feet day.

At the West Tonopan Mining Com

sists of a forty horsepower engine,
fifty horsepower boiler and five
horsepower upright engine to drive
No. blower. The new engine
room is thlrty-two feet square and all
of the machinery is conveniently ar
ranged. The other surface improve
ments consist of carpenter and
timber framing shop, blacksmith
shop, four-room dwelling house and
stable. The main working shaft on
the West Tonopah is down 312 feet
in three compartments, and the bot
tom of the shaft has penetrated two
! feet of tale. containing streaks OF
ore assaying from seven to fifteer
per cent lead and $500 in gold anC
silver. This formation would eithel
indicate the presence of an ore bod.

closing of ore in this section of tn,

the mineral zone and create a new
boom for the camp.

The Johnnie mining district, To-

there is considerable activity in that

known attorney, who is associated

formed Bonanza representative this
week that the mines will be re-
opened and operated ON an extensive
scale within the next sixty days. He
said: "The Chispa is a mine with a
record and we intend to make rec
ord for it again Really, we had only
begun to get mine, when a fire de
stroyed the mill and put us out OF
business. That was fifteen years ago,
the property at the time being under
lease and bond to some Utah people
who took out something near $780,
900. We will put in 100000 and
sink 1000 feet if necessary, in order
to open up the lode, as the Johnnie
people have done. They employ
twenty men and are now down GOO
feet, with values and ore bodies in
creasing with depth, and we feel as
sured that we can do equally as well
with the old Chispa.
Arrangements have been made for
the construction of a mill to treat
Johnnie ore upon the ground. Thp
mill has been ordered. The Johnnie
company has also laid a pipeline
four and one-half miles, supplying
the camp with fine spring water, the
flow being fully two inches under a
head of S62 feet. The water is piped
into every cabin in the camp occupied
by the miners.
Among the other promising prop
critics in that vicinity are the Bullfrog
Johnnie and the White group. The
outcrop of the former may be traced
for 5000 feet and the company in

"We will keep up this fight If it lasts for a
