ciates few months ago, spent the
week in Tonopah. When asked for
his opinion as to the merits of the
Eclipse, he said:
"It is the greatest mine in the |
country today without exception. |
consider it even better than the
great Shoshone.
why, at a depth of eighty-five |
feet, on the Hobo fraction, the ledge
is forty feet wide and twenty-four
feet of it sampled averaged $26.50,
and at depth of only forty feet four
feet of it will go $3.50, and of five
samples from twelve-inch streak
the lowest was $500 and the highest
$16,700. That is mine, and the
beauty of IL is that it only averaged
from 50 to So on the surface.
"The owners OF the Eclipse now
are Senator Oddie, c. M. Oddie,
overbury, Chickering, Hennessy and
o'Brien, and Messrs. Mcdonald and
Gillies have just secured a gccd
block of the stock.
THE Tramp claims are looking
enc and the property is being 3u:
veyed for a patent.
"The Peerless claims, recently pur-
rhased by John MrKane, are quite
promising and l believe they will
make a great mine"

With the splendid steam hoist re-

Tonopah Company, and other first
class machinery in place, the Golden
Crown Company is ready to inaugur-
ate the search for the wealth with
which it is believed to be endowed
and with Donald Gillies, to whom
this camp is indebted for so many of
! it's brilliant achievements, in the sad
die, success is assured.
A report by Malcolm Macdonald
and Donald Gillies, after most ex-
haustive researches in the camp, pre-
sents the Golden Crown in most
favorable position. 1t is, say they,

area of Tonopah mining district" 1t

are the properties of the Tonopah EX-
