urer and secretary respectively, of the
Nevada Goldfelds Development COM

with the work that has been accom-
plished. They spent all day Wednesday
at the ground this side Gold Mountain
and found that Superintendent Jennings
has made rapid progress, The shaft is
down 100 feet and the crosscut to the
north is in 26 feet. 1t is estimated that
it will only have to be run about 20 feet
more before the ledge will be cut. The

The Old and the New.

Prospectors and their burro outfits are
very much in evidence in Tonopah at
the present time and every day on Main
street something like dozen of these
little ships of the desert together with
their pack-saddles, etc., are punched up
and exhibited for sale. Groups of them
are continually coming and going and if
all the pack animals that are being
driven hither and thither over the
desert by prospectors, were arranged
single file, the result would be cara
van of astonishing length. One thing
that excites the interest of the stranger
in these parts is to see these humble
and primitive little pack trains slowly
moving along the same road with the
speedy and pretentious autos of latter
day invention.

Gold and Antimony.

r. w. Carothers well known min
ing man, formerly of Como, Nevada,
arrived in Tonopah about two weeks
ago and started out prospecting in COM
pany with A. v. Cherry, of Chicago.
At a point about two miles east OF
Hannapah the prospectors struck upon
a quartz ledge which promises to be-
come bullion producing mine. In a
shaft only twelve feet deep they have
four-foot ledge, between slate and
porphyry, which shows values of from
IS to $40 ton. Samples of the ore are
on exhibition in the windows of the
Nye e. Ormsby County Bank.
Just prior to coming here, Mr..
Carothers was superintendent for The
Anthony Company Of America, at its
mine fifteen miles from Lovelock, II
Humboldt county. On this property
there is a shaft $50 feet deep, with
vein Of ore feet four inches in widtf
between walls, for the entire depth o.
the shaft. The yield is 65 per cent o.
a star antimcny the largest per cent
age Of any mine in the State. Up t.

A Case Involving Title to the Mont

In department of the Superior Court
of San Francisco, in the suit of G. B.
Flemming against E. A. Montgomery,
involving title to one-half interest in
the Montgomery Shoshone mines in the
Bullfrog district, the attorneys for the
respective litigants, filed the first stip-
ulation on the 18th inst, agreeing to
the use of copies intead of the original
documents in the case, which originals
were destroyed by fire. The copies are
filed with the stipulation. These are
mines recently reported sold by Mont
gomery to Charles M. Schwab, the
steel magnate, for SIS, 600. Presid,
ing Judge Thomas F. Graham ordered
the copies filed to restore the record
This suit was brought by Flemming
who resides in Los Angeles, severa
months ago. He claims that he grub
staked Bob Montgomery for some tim'
and that he is entitled to an interest il
the Shoshone mine by virtue of thu
grubstake agreement. Mr.. Mont
gomery says that he did prospect fol
Mr.. Flemming at one time but that al
relations with him had ceased lonl
before he had located the Shoshon,

A Prospector,s Report.

C. W. Higgins an old prospector, who
has operated in California and Mexico,
and off and on in the vicinity of Austin,
Nevada, during the early seventies, re-
turned to Tonopah last week, after an
absence of about month, on pros
pecting trip in the vicinity of Bullion
District. He reports great activity in
that locality, but says that about all the
mining ground is already staked off by
prospectors. In his explorations he
found one very rich prospect, but was
obliged to abandon the claim on account
of the fact that it was held by prior
locators.
Mr.. Higgins also visited Millett,
Round Mountain and Jefferson Canyon
and says that while the mines at these
places are not yet developed, to any
extent, the present showing is such as
to warrant the belief that these camps
will soon rank among the richest mining
districts in the State.

At the Desert Queen shaft of the
Tonopah Mining company, an extra
compartment is being added to the
working shaft and when this is complet-
ed two cages will berun. The company
is also installing a larger compressor,
one of a thirteen large drill capacity.
Smaller drills will be used, however, so
that about twenty Of them can be run
with the same power.
A duplicate of the above compressor
will be installed on the Mizpah shaft, il
having been ordered and is expected
soon to arrive. Both compressors will
be operated by electricity.
In the shaft Of the Desert Queen
stoping is going on in the 700 and 8OC
foot levels and development work is be
ing done on the 900 foot level. At the
present time no work is being done be
low the last named level. Daily ship
ments Of ore continue to be made will
good results.
A 65-foot head frame is being erected
at the Red Plume shaft and an electri'
hoist is being installed in connection
with it. This hoist will be of a suffici
ent capacity to sink to depth of abou
1000 feet. The company expects to d,
great deal of work in this shaft il

GREAT ARE THE
POSSIBILITIES
OOiniOn Of One Of New YOrk'S PrOmi'
nent Brokers.

7 G.. Weir, one of the prominent
brokers of New York, who has spent
the past eight weeks travelling between
Fairyiew and Bullfrog inspecting min
inc properties, returned to Tonopah
Tuesday and left for the East yesterday
morning. Mr.. Weir is quite favorably
IMPRESSED with Fairview and especially
tbe ground of the Nevada Hills Mining
Co. at that place. This is the company
in which John Kisby, Of this city, w.
H. Clark, w. v. Rice, Of Salt Lake,
and others are interested.
In conversation with BONANZA rep
resenta tive Mr.. Weir said ~ have been
treated this week to new aspect in
gold mining, in the tremendous bodies
of low-grade ore at Silver Peak. The
Blair and the Mohawk-Alpine are GER
tainly wonderful mines. 1t really fills
one with awe when he thinks Of the
future possibilities for dividends which
will come to the stockholders of these
companies when the mathematical
calculations of engineering skill become
applied to the reduction of these ores
on commercial or manufacturing basis.
This scope of country invites object
lessons in mining from most every
grade and ramification of its scope
with the exception possibly of placer.
"Tonopah with its smelling sulphides;
Goldfield with its sensational high-grade,
free-milling gold ore; Bullfrog with its
free-milling ledges of $25 ore; Fairview
with ore similar to Tonopah and now
Silver Peak with that class of mining
that will certainly appeal to the con-
servative capital where low-grade
propositions are looked for, make 9
mineral belt second to none in the
world.
81 can only recall one mine in the
United States where there are suci
similar bodies Of ore as exist in th'
Blair and Mohawk-Alpine mines anC
that is in the great Homestake mine il
South Dakota. But the Homestak'
ore bodies only average $500 a ton
OF course even at that figure they arr
worked at profit.
"The possibilities of the big ledges o
Silver Peak ore can only be left to on
conjecture and you can say for me tina
Nevada is today the greatest mining
state in the land | have shown m.
faith in it by making many invest
ments."

May be Rich Ore.

Budd Marlatt and James Trayner,
residents of Goldfeld, who have been
prospecting with camping outfit east of
Goldfeld and north on the Manhattan
range, arrived in Tonopah Saturday.
At point about forty-fve miles north
east of Hot Creek, they found vein of
very highly mineralized ore, about Z
inches in width. While this ore shows
no free gold it has every appearance OF
gold-bearing rock and the finders have
every confidence that it will show big
values as soon as they can have assay
tests made.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
AND MANHATTAN


J. ]. McSorley, the mining engineer,
who returned to Tonopah after spend
ing several days in Round Mountain,
gives a glowing account Of the new
camp. Mr.. McSorley, who is interest
ed in the Round Mountain Sphinx mine,
says that his company is sinking two
working shafts on the property and the
ore at the bottom of these shafts shows
wonderful values-from $50 to $4,000 to
the ton. The company has ordered
new hoist and other equipment and no
time will be lost in developing the prop
erty. A force of eight men is at pres
ent being worked, but the force will be
augmented as necessity requires.
| At Manhattan where Mr.. McSorley
is also interested, he says that opera
tions are again under full headway.
The working shaft on the Manhattan
Verde is down 65 feet and it is the in
tention of the company to continue to
depth of $50 feet before doing any cross
cutting.
At the zanzibar, which adjoins the
Pine Nut on the east, the company has
started active operations, working three
shifts Of men in the tunnel which is in
go feet. This tunnel is prosecuting the
formation and will tap the main ledge
at depth of about 300 feet. Several
men are also employed trenching and
prospecting the surface which shows
extraordinary values.
The working shaft in the Manhattan
consolidated is down 70 feet. A hoist
has been ordered and is expected on the
premises in few days, when it will
be erected at once. Development work
is being pushed ahead very rapidly.
Generally speaking an air of blooming
: activity pervades Manhattan with most
flattering prospects in view.

the lessees cut through ledge of 30
feet Of ore, carrying values running
from $40 to $500 and at the 210 level
the values are still holding good. The
holders of the lease are putting every
available man into the mine that it will
accommodate. At the present time
there are hundreds of sacks of $3.50 ore
on the dump.

German-American Company.

German-American Company.
The shaft on the German-American
Mining Company's property, situated
about two miles northwest Of Tonopah,
is now down 175 feet and rapid progress
is being made in sinking it. The shaft
is a double compartment and is well
timbered. The hoist is On up-to-date
electric and all of the machinery is
first class in every particular. Manager
E. J. Waidmann who is in charge is
highly pleased with the showing made
thus far. The shaft will be sent to a
considerable depth before crosecutting
will be resorSed to. The ledge can be
traced on the surface for distance of
600 feet and is in light and blue
porphyry. 1t dips to the north and it
is believed that when crosscut taps it
at depth, the values will be high. The
company owns nine locations, which
cover 1872 acres, thus giving it consider
able territory. The company has never
sold share Of treasury stock and has
plenty of capital on hand to develop the
mine with. The head Office of the com
pany is at 66 Leonard street, New York
