services by putting in a local ex-
change system. Resident Manager
Terwillinger has been busy inter-
viewing the merchants and mine
superintendent and has secured
enough subscribers to warrant the
re service. General
Darter was in from
-srday with Lineman Har-
arranging the details for the ex-
tension Of the line around town to
the mines and up to the Shoshone,
via the mill.
The company is also making an
effort to connect their line at Man
haitian with the Southwestern Ne
vada Consolidated Telephone and
Telegraph company's line into To-
nopah and thereby give us a tele-
phone communication with Tonopah,
Goldfeld and Bullfrog. In fact,
this will enable us to get the bene-
fit of the other company's connec-
ton and thereby telephone from here
practically all over the state.
This week has been the scene Of
much activity at the Round Mount
ain placer diggings. The Wilson
ground is being worked in the same
energetic manner as heretofore,
clean-ups amounting to about $1,000
daily. Three machines are in opera
ton on this ground and Mr.. Will
son has been granted an extension
of his lease to allow time to finish
working all the ground embodied in
his Sunnyside leaA
Several large companies are now
operating in the new camp of Lib
erty. Among others the OTIS Pros
pecting and Developing company
have have eleven claims adjoining
the Cramps, of ship build
ing fame. The shaft is now down
100 feet on the property OF the OTIS
Prospecting and Developing COM
pany and at a depth of 80 feet the
ledge was four and one-half feet
wide and gave an average assay
value in gold and silver of S37.O4;
$7.03 OF this being in gold. The
previous assay was at a depth OF
seventy-five feet.
SILVER BOW
Yesterdays stage from Tonopah to
Silver Bow was crowded with men
who are to be employed on various
Silver Bow holdings, particularly on
the leases now being operated on the
McGonagill, Clifford and Britt and
Donnelly claims. Many OF the early
locators are returning to the camp
for the purpose Of performing the
necessary assessment work to hold
their ground.
MANHATTAN
The strike on the Consolidated is
still the topic of the town. This find
is unquestionably the biggest ever
made in this district. There is q
wild scramble for stock, but so fan
as can be learned little or, none car
be had, as it is closely held. w. J
Douglass of Tonopah is president o.
the Consolidated.
Sacking high grade ore for ship
ment is still in progress on the Com
bination OF Patrick, Elliott anC
Camp. The ore will average con
siderably above 800 per ton, anc
there certainly appears to be plenty
of it.
Superintendent Ohmert of the Man
haitian Giant reports progress o.
that property. The shaft is bein.
sunk as rapidly as possible wit

the best is being made Of condition
as they really exist, and while devei
opment is rather slow, the improve
ment is clearly to be seen. Th
Grant seems second only to the grea
Consolidated.
The miners are nearing the Wa
Eagle ledge in the crosscut from tn
shaft. Great interest attaches itse
to this work as it is believed a
enormous ore body will be broken IL
to. Should such prove to be tn
case, Seyler-Humphrey stock wi
surely go soaring.
