SALE AT TONOPAH

Manhattan, New, Nov. FLA deal was
closed this week involving the sale of
the last parcel of inside mining property
at Tonopah not embraced within the
estate of an Incorporated mining COM
pany. The ground in question is known
as the Eagan-Oddie group and passes
from the possession of those gentlemen
into that of Harry w. Overman, the
price paid being s25o.O 900. On his re-
turn to Manhattan from Tonopah Mr..
Overman announced the contamination
of the deal to your correspondent, stat
ing that he likewis purchased the Red
Rock Extension property adjoining the
Schwab holdings.
The Eagan-Oddie group has long been
cherished by Senat Oddie as being one
of the very best pieces of mineral bear
ing ground in the Tonopah mining dis
trict and the fact that he has disposed
of it is a matter of surprise to the min
ing public, to no one more of a surprise
than to Overman, who, while desiring
the blum was decidedly dubious re-
garding his ability to induce the former
owners to part with it. Persuasive ar
gument, backed by money in hand were
eventually successful, however, and
Overman landed the prize. In trans
fering the property Senator eddie stated
that did he not intend to invest more ex-
~tensively in copper propositions at
Greenwater money would have been no
inducement for him to part with the
holding.
The Eagan-Oddie sgroup adjoins the
property of the Montana-Tonopah COM
pany and is within a stones throw from
the famous Mizpah mine of the Tono-
pah Mining company, the claim which
raised Jim Butler from poverty to af-
fuence, and which has and is producing
millions of dollars worth of ore. The
rich Mizpah vain system obtains in the
Eagan-Oddie group and with depth and
development that acreage promises to be
as valuable an estate as its ~neighbor.
Mr.. Oyerman caves Manhattan for
the east within a few days for the pur-
pose of interesting monied friends in
New York City and Philadelphia in his
enterprise. 1t is his intention to organ
ize at these points a company for the
purpose of developing the holdings. and
to likewise finance the Red Rock Exten-
sion property. He is practically assured
success prior to his departure for the
eastern seaboard. and expects to return
TO Nevada early in January with ample
funds with which to develop both
estates.

Surface prospecting of the estate of

mately to a depth nan hundreds of feet

carries a continuation of the famous
Consolidated ledge and at surface it has
returned paintings and assays which in
dictate the presence of shipping grade
quartz at from 100 TO 100 feet below
grass roots.
The ground is traversed by a net work
of veins many of which give off from
the parent ore body and wherever pros
pected they have returned very encour-
aging paintings. In character the quartz
is identical with that being mined in
Consolidated ground at a depth of 200

so pronounced. A recent assay taken

Dan O'Brien, the man who opened up
the Union No. 9 bonanza. is developing
the estate of the Manhattan Belmont
ompan INTO one of the foremost pros
poets of the camp, and If mineral show
ing be an indication by which to gauge
the future of a mining property there is
no question but what the Belmont is de-
stined to become one of the largest pro-
ducers in the Manhattan pay belt.
O'Brien had one of the most promising
lodges in the west section of the camp
on which to begin work, and since doing
so has demonstrated it to ave a pros
pective value the equal of any thus far
disclosed in the vicinity of Central.
At grass-roots on the Belmont No. 1
claim a ledge is showing better than 5
feet in width all of which is a CONNER
cial grade of free milling ore. The
quartz is hard and brittle and is filled
with the higher precious
metal values being concealed therein.
The rock also carries some gold in the
free and whenever this occurs the gold
grade is strengthened to shipping class
ore.
The ledge is apparently a feeder CIV
ing off from the huge Consolidated ifs
sure, which has been traced as far west
as Belmont ground. and in many of it's
characteristic the Belmont quartz is
identical in texture and naturalization
with that being mined at profit at a
depth of 200 feet in the Consolidated
workings. There is the same hard, blue
lime crystalization, as marked in the in
stance of the main Conselidated-Pine
Nut ledge. and many of the other char
acteristics which make for -permanency
and an enhancing of gold values at
deDth.

MANHATTAN -coMBINATIoN


with the location of high grade ship
ping ore in place the estate of the Man
haitian Combination company passes
from the preferred prospect class to the
of regular producers, and becomes
in fact what has for some months been
predicted, a mine of the first magnitude.
Several months ago Sol Camp located
a streak of very high grade ore in that
portion of the Black Mammoth ledge
which crosses the Combination estate.
The find was followed at surface @ot a
distance of 800 feet and the ledge
stripped of quartz having an average
value of 5000 the ton. The vein dip
pins into the hill an incline was then
sent down along 1t and always in ore OF
shipping grade. From the bottom OF
this incline a drift was run out along
the strike of the ledge and has / 'ulted
in the location of the Come high class
gold values in place.
The face of the drift is filled with
quartz showing gold in the free and as
says are secured as high as $500 the ton.
Samples taken at random seldom fail
to return shipping values and the
break" of the ledge is considerably in
excess of 800 the ton. More than 400
sacks of high grade shipping rock are
piled on dump, and as an Illustration of
the rapidity with which the tonnage is
accommodating it can be stated that suf-
dcient to fill 100 sacks was mined Fri

from three Of the cross leads returned
an average value of s6.2s H. gold the

The FIRST crosscut to be sent out from
the SHAFT will be at depth OF so feet but
Il will be simply in the nature Of a vein
test medium and is not expected to
strike pay grade in place. At a depth
Of i00 feet. however. the management
believes that the solid formation will be
reached and that once contact with the
ledge is gained at that level hat a shoot
of commercial grade ore viii be encoun-
tered. The first intention was TO fol-
low the ledge down on IN incline but
later IL was deemed advisable to sink
a vertical shaft instead and from 1t to
drift over to the vein.
SEDAN
with the organization Of a company
to take over the Sedan estate located in
the western portion of the pay belt plans
are being formulated to develop that
very promising acreage along lines more
in keeping with its prospective value,
and in furtherance thereof a double COM
partment shaft is to be sunk well down
into the permanent pay zone. A single
compartment shaft was started by the
former management. 1t has attained a
depth of so feet and was in ore when
operations were abandoned.
The mpa intends to take up de-
velopment at the point where the former
operators quit and after pushing the
shaft down to the 100-foot point will run
out a crosscut to the ledge. At a depth
of so feet a short crosscut was run out
by Ed Stuart, formerly in charge OF the
property. and resulted in tapping an ore
body carrying free gold and impregnated
with Manganese of iron. The formation
at the y0-foot level is considerably
broken. however, and ii is deemed ad-
visable to get down into the solid for
nation before attempting to prove up
the ledge.
The vein crossing the Sedans is I'M
a~uestionably the same as that showing
in the Belmont estate. adjoining, and is
readily traced from one acreage to the
other. Gold value have been secured
at surface n in the crosscut at the
bottom of the shaft which indicate that
the entire deposit from grass roots down
is a fair grade of mill rock. The ledge
is streaked with knife blade seams of
liberalization which frequently assay
several hundred dollars in gold per ton.
There is a marked change for the better
in the formation from surface down and
the rock is becoming so hard the man
| m is led to the opinion that the
solid ore zone will be reached within 40
feet more of nkin

upon scattered in every direction i'll

Upon return to the camp that night
these parties took immediate steps to or
ganize an incorporation and subscribed
the necessary funds and appointed an
incorporating committee which secured
the services of the law firm of Willis &
Burkert to proceed with the organization
of the Walker Reservation Gold Mining
and Milling Company.
This corporation starts off with bright
prospects before it, joining as it does a
proven mine and having on its holdings
several ledges which yield good pam
nings. One ledge shows at the surface
at least twelve feet of ore of milling
grade. 1t is not surprising that an ac-
tive demand is manifest for the stock of
this company in advance of its issuance.

who will act as Secretary of the COM
pany.
All mining men agree that the new
section of Mountain View Mining Dis
trict, with its granite porphyry contacts,
it's well defined quartz veins and true
phonolite dykes, bids fair to rival the
great southern camps in the production
of precious metals.
The main offices of the company will
be in Yerington as this is the nearest

pected that when the company begins
active development work it will help
business considerably here.

A New Reservation Camp Which Will be
Of Benefit to This Valley.

One of the most interesting mining sec
tions opened by the late abandonment of
the Walker River Reservation is that
which has been given the name of Noun
tain View District. This district is di-
rectly east of Yerington, about fourteen
miles, and was regularly organized on
October 80, and Leon Willis duly elected
as Recorder, to reside at Chalk Springs,
where the infant camp is located. The
district embraces the ground bounded on
the south by the township line running
between Sections IL and 13, on the east
by Walker River and on the north by the
Esmeralda and Lyon county line, the dis
trict being entirely in Esmeralda county.
The name was taken from the Mountain
View mine located about FIVE years ago
by the Wilson Bros, and since worked
by them and George Willis, who some
time ago developed some ore giving an
assay value of over $500 per ton.
Mr.. Willis refrained from giving this
news to the general public at that time
for the reason that survey developed
tho fact that the Mountain View prop
erty, which consists of three claims, was
bordering very closely on the Reserva-
ton. However, number OF persons
became cognizant of the fact that this
property was greatly above the average
in value. and on the 10Th of last month,
at noon, there were in the neighborhood
of one hundred men on the Reservation
line north of Black Mountain ready to

Phenomenal Situation in Copper.

Twenty-Five years have passed since
the copper industry was as prosperous as
it is today. The record high prices cur
rent in 1906 have been due to the extra
ordinary demand, which indicates con-
sumption in excess of the production, both
here and abroad. A suggestion that the
market will continue high indefinitely is
made by producers who have sold copper
for future delivery at prices that approach
the schedule of the famous French SYN
dlcate which reached its zenith in $780,
says the Mining World. In 1906 the ex-
treme quotations for Lake Copper at New
York were 1879 to 22% cents per pound
Production by these mines for the nine
months ending with September is esti-
mated at 16S, S91, 290 pounds, as against
loo, 172, 4S0 pounds in the corresponding
period last year; an increase of 2,72S,
720 pounds, or 2.6 per cent. Dividends
paid by eight Lake companies from jan
uary to October, 1906, amounted to SILL
1876, ga, bringing their total disburse-
ments since incorporation to S137, 705,
e4S on an issued capitalization of $50,

781 $50.
The electrolytic copper industry has
shared we'll in the country's prosperity,
and after years of ups and downs the
Amalgamated company's shareholders
will again receive dividends at the rate
of per cent per annum. Production in
the Butte district is growing rapidly, and
for the first nine months of the current
year the quality is calculated at 279, $780,
954 pounds. To be sure, Montana will
again occupy first place as a copper pro-
ducer, although Arizona is making a
strong fight. Electrolytic copper sold
this year at 1917 to 22H cents per pound
in cakes, and wire bars f. o. b. New York.
Dividend payments by 6 Montana, Ten
nessee, Utah, and ! Wyoming COM
pany, for the ten months to October this
year amount to $29, $40, 403, making a
total of S96 214, 314 since incorporation on

companies SO far, this year will establish
an enviable record.

is the preparation for the great struggle
in railroad competition that is coming.
