special 70 The Irabune-
RHYOLITE, New, Aug. 11.-Recent
uncoverings on Bonanza mountain are
showing some Of the richest ore bodies
yet encountered in the Bullfrog district.
On the Denver of the Tramp Consoh-
dated a high grade body was encoun-
tered III the winZe to connect levels
Nos. 8 and 4. The winze is 100 feet in
depth, and drift from it's bottom has
been carried sixty feet to meet No; 4
level, now about fifteen feet from this
point. The breast Of No. 4 has just
broken into the high-grade shoot, thus
giving it practically an explored length
of seventy feet south. not to mention
it's northern Dimensions, an investigation
Of which is to be undertaken as soon as
an air connection is made. An inter"
esting feature of the matter Is the fact
that it extends the southern limit at
which high-grade shipping material has
been uncovered at the property.
So far as exposed General Manager
Blaokmar has made a thorough samp-
ling Of the shoot, and in no instance, he
states has he received an average re-
turn below $50, and from this figure
the averages have gone considerably
beyond 5000. he states further that
his sampling has been close and conser-
vative, representing an approximately
correct metallic content. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the management when q connec-
air thus afforded, to continue e1plora-
tion north, and to carry the winze down
another 100 feet. Plans are also being
perfected to install q hoist at No.
level to further development operations.
The company is working a force Of six
ty men, and carrying on extensive ex-
plorstion in other parts Of the big prop
erty.
In the same section Of Bonanza noun
the Gibraltar is also getting some ex-
ceedingly high values. Some of the
richest rock yet encountered in this
property has just been broken into in
drift tunnel No. l, on the No. ledge.
Ii was found on the hanging wall side
Of the vein, and is composed principally
OF tale and manganese, with values
running on an average, Superintendent
Nelson states, from 5000 to $1,000 a
ton: On the opposite wall, thirty-fvc
feet awsy, Is found another rich shoot,
carrying the same high grade values
The material now being taken out in
the process of development is being
sacked for shipment. All the present
workings of tho Gibraltar are in ore.
