TONOPAH ORES
TO BE MILLED
BOSqui Advises TOnOpah Com
panies TO Build Many Mills
to Treat their Ores

F. L. Bosqui, the engineer brought
out by the Montana Tonopah company
to look over the work of building the
fifty-ton reduction plant that is to be
erected at the mine, has been looking
over the situation for a few days, and
is now in Goldfeld. Mr.. Bosqui had
much to do with the determination of
the,process to be employed at the Com
bination mill at Goldfield, and has gone
to settle some vexing questions that
have arisen at that plant.
This is not Mr.. Bosqui's first trip
into the Nevada mining fields, though
he has never before been in Tonopah
for more than few hours at time.
He was much impressed with the de-
velopment of the mines and the great
dumps of milling ore that have been
accumulating for the past five years.
1T is matter of great surprise to
me, he said, "that mills for the treat
ment of these vast quantities of mill
ing rock of good value have not been
put up here long ago. In any mining
camp the reduction plants are of the
utmost Importance to the town, as well
as to the mine owners. Where a mill
or number of mills are being oper-
ated there are established a thousand
and one sources through which a por-
tion of the profits of the mine go to
the townspeople
Outside of the increased payroll,
in itself no small item, there is haul
ing to be done, incidental supplies to
be purchased and many other avenues
OF revenue to the merchants of the
town. If all the ore treated is shipped
out of the country, no matter how big
the mine is, the town gets only the
patronage of the men employed, and
the big majority of the money expended
by the company goes to the railroad.
These ores are by no means difficult
to treat. 1t has taken but little work
to solve the problem they present, and
the results from all experiments have
been highly satisfactory. We can
secure an extraction that will make
these great piles of low-grade rock that
decorate the hills about your camp
yield tremendous profit to the stock
holders and also to the people of the
town. know of nothing that will pre-
vent the Montana mill from being a
complete success from the very start. "

THE RESCUE IS
SINKING SHAFT

The shaft on the Rescue is now down
to depth of 400 feet through the cap
ping of lava ash. Considerable trouble
has been given by the amount of water
in the mine. When operations were re-
commenced on the property on August
18th four days were spent in installing
a Cameron pump and getting the hoist
ing plant into proper working order.
Between the 21st and the 25th the 200
feet of water which were found to have
accumulated in the shaft during the
two years it lay idle were pumped out
and now station has been cut on the
3OO-foot level and a pump installed
there. The water which comes into
the shaft below that level is baled out
with bucket. The air in the shaft is
perfectly pure and fresh and it is pos
sible to keep three shifts at work. A
steady. rate of progress averaging
three feet per day-is being maintained
and the shaft has been sent down a
little over 20 feet since the 25th of last
month. The superintendent of the
property states that he hopes the water
will soon be drained out. The shaft Is
to be sunk well down into the lode
porphyry and then crosscutting will be
commenced.

OVER, $l,OOO,OOO
PER MONTH
That is the Product Of Nevada Ac-
cOrding to Bullion Tax Col
lectOr J. II. Neyin.

J. H. Nevin, bullion tax collector who
was in Tonopah short time ago on
official business, mention of which was
made in the Bonanza at the time, re-
ports that the State of Nevada is pro-
ducing over 81, 900, 900 per month in ore
and the output is becoming greater
each month. In speaking of the out
look for Nevada Mr.. Nevin said:
when | say the State is producing
over 100000 per month in ore do
not count in all the low grade milling
ore, which is thrown over the dumps,
which will some day be milled and will
make the output much greater. From
the Reilly lease of the Florence, col
lected $4,000 for taxes. So person can
imagine how great the output of this
lease is. There are 10 leases on the
Mohawk, which are now shipping ore,
and the tax on this output will be enor-
nous. The State is deriving great
profit from the tax on the output of
ore in Nevada and this income is be-
coming larger and larger all the time,
as the mines are constantly producing
more ore. l find that the counties of
Storey, Nye, Esmeralda, Churchill,
Eureka and Lyon are at present pro-
ducing the greatest amount of ore in
Nevada. Washoe county is rapidly
picking up, however, and will soon rank
among the first of the big ore-produc-
ing counties. | can also say that the
State liquor and gambling licenses are
greatly increasing. The reason for
this is the building of so many new
mining towns in the State.''

Good Lead on the Monitor.

Work on the Monitor lead mine, stu
ated 9 miles east of Silver Peak, is
going on steadily and without inter-
mission. AS the property is being de-
veloped it looks better and better every
day and promises to make great mine.
Two tunnels are being driven and a
prospect shaft is being sunk and good
ore has been found. s. A. Knapp, the
well known mining man, and Senator
L. l.. Oddie are interested in the prop
erty. The former informed BONANZA
representative Wednesday that he con-
sidered the Monitor would certainly
make good.

Monarch Win orosscut Soon .

The shaft on the Monarch-Pittsburg
is now down 745 feet. 1t is to be sunk
5 feet further and then a crosscut is to
be run to the south. 1t is hoped to
catch a ledge dipping to the north.
Superintendent Milt Kemmerer states
that the Gaping for the first ATT feet
feet consist of a volcanic brecci and
that for the balance of the way the
shaft was sunk through blue por-
phyry The lode porphyry has not yet
been struck but it is expected that the
crosscut will penetrate it after a few
feet of progress. If this expectation is
not justified, it may be necessary to
sink a few hundred feet further, but it
will not be necessary to install new
machinery for this purpose, as the rs
h. p. gasoline hoist at present in use is
capable of raising rock from distance
of 1000 feet.

new MACHINERY
FOR THE BELMONT

The three-compartment shaft on the
Belmont is now completed, being down
a distance of 300 feet. The compressor
which was ordered some time ago is
now on the ground, but is not vet in
operation, as the electric motor which
is to furnish the motive power for it
has not yet arrived. 1t is expected to
come from the east very shortly and
Supt. Blackburn hopes to have the
compressor going inside of two weeks.
Most of the work being done at present
is on the 7O0-foot and 8O0-foot levels.
where stopping and taking out ore is
going on steadily. The air is good and
there has been no trouble so far with
water. Last week the shipments
amounted to 26O tons.

new GOLD DISCOVERY
IN SHOSHONE RANGE

Gus Sielaff returned to Tonopah yes
terday after four months prospecting
trip in the northern part of this county.
Mr.. Sielaff reports a wonderful new
strike which he made in the Shoshone
mountains about 20 miles north of Ber-
lin and DO miles south of Austin and
four miles west of Reese river. He
says that it promises to be bonanza.
The ledge runs north and south and
has been traced for over two miles. and
assays taken on the surface 90 over
$500 in gold. The discovery was made
on July 2S, but it was not known to the
outside world until the middle of
August when rush to the new find set
in. At the present time there are
about l5O men in the new district
which is known as Bonita. Mr.. Sielaff
located group of nine claims and
named it the Surprise group. On four
OF the claims rich prospects in gold
have been found. The ledge is covered
with few feet of volcanic wash, and
under the wash is the porphyry and
quartz formation. Associated with Mr..
Sielaff is G. W. Richard, the hardware
merchant of Tonopah, and R. U.
Boutelle.
Mr.. Sielaff is graduate of the min
ing department of the Nevada State
University. He spent four wears in
Central America in the employ of a
Boston and New York syndicate, who
have extensive interests in that
country. Mr.. Sielaff is not only min
ing engineer, but received his practical
experience in the mines of the Com
stock.
There is plenty of wood and water
and fish and game in abundance in the
new district, and he predicts that bv
fall there will be 1000 people there.
as the surface showings are as promis-
ing as have ever been discovered in
Nevada.

MONTANA-MI MIDWAY
IS LOOKING GOOD

The shaft on the Railroad Fraction
of the Montana-Midway Mining Com
pany is now down 440 feet. 1t is the
intention Of the management togo down
10 feet further and then crosscut south.
The company's officers have come to
the conclusion that, judging by the dip
and the trend of the Midway ledge,
they will strike it in about 100 or $50
feet ofcrosscutting. They see no reason
whatever why it should not carry as
high values in the fiat as it does on the
hill. The Railroad Fraction is very
favorably located, end-lining the Mid
way on the east and the Golden Anchor
on the west. The shaft is now in the
lode porphyry and several quartz string
ers have been cut which give values of
from $3 to 81. "Our shaft has been
sunk very rapidly and very cheaply, {"
said Fred L. Seyboldt secretary of the
Montana-Midway company, to a repre-
sentative of the BONANZA on Thursday.
For five months we have kept up the
excellent pace of 80 feet per month, in
other words three feet per day, which
is a capital rate of progress, consider
ing that we have no compressor as yet
and are drilling entirely by hand. We
have also been handicapped by bad air in
the shaft which has prevented us from
working three shifts. We hope to
rectify that, however, in the near fu-
ture by the use of blower We have
done our work very cheaply, too, hav-
ing only paid $2l per foot. We were
enabled to do this by the fact
that we had one of the most economical
plants in town. Our 80 h. p. steam
hoist is as efficient and economical bit
OF machinery as have ever seen.
Then, again, unlike some companies,
we do not have great horde of salaried
oifcers to wax fat at the company's
expense. Every man on our pay roll is
an active, working miner"
The shaft was sunk through andesite
~ tne nrst 35O teet OF Its depth and
mas been in lode porphyry for the last
W feet. All the indications are very
promising and Mr.. Seyboldt has every
confidence in the property. AS we'll as
the fraction by the railroad, the Mon
tana-Midway company has two full
claims and fraction north of the To-
nopah Home property. Nothing is be-
ing done on them, however, just at
present, as all the company's efforts
are being concentrated on the work at
'ne Railroad Fraction. Once this mine
mas been placed on a paying basis, how
ever, development work will at once be
Degun on the rest of the company's
property.

Good Reports From Booth.

Good reports continue to come in
from the Booth mine at Goldfeld.
Operations are now directed to cross
cutting at the 275-foot level. A large
flow of water has been encountered
which is good indication of a
true fissure vein. This water will not
go to waste as the Kinkead mill is
now figuring on utilizing it for milling
purposes. This will largely enchance
the value of the Booth property. Al

The COMSTOCK
IS DUPLICATED
A Glowing Tribute paid the New
Campo Ramsey by the New
York Daily News

'1s the old Comsoock about to live
again in the new camp of Ramsay"
is the question which is asked in the
issue of the New York Daily News Of
August goth. The question indicates
slightly the enormous interest being
centered on the camps of this state by
the financial papers of the world.
1t is contended continues the same
article, that the Ramsay veins are
a continuation of the Comstock lodes.
A strike of great importance is sreported
from the the Ramsay Comstock Mining
Company's ground in the shape of a
three-foot ledge cropping on the surface
which shows free visible gold and re-
turns average assays of $4,000.
1t is said that this particular ledge
bears more resemblance to the old
Virginia ores at the surface than any,
thing so far discovered, inasmuch as
the gold is visible to the eye. Hitherto
the ores have been more of sulphide
character, resembling Goldfield's char
acteristics.
In the new camp provisions and sup
plies are fairly reasonable. Lumber
can be had for $22 per thousand feet,
and rock can be milled at Dayton for
$3.50 per ton. Telephone and telegraph
connections has been arranged for and
the town of Ramsay has now some 300
people, and consists of 100 tents and
frame buildings. A station will be
established, shortly, at Hawes, twelve
miles from the camp.

Work to Start ON ophir King

Work will soon be resumed on the
Ophir King. Only the arrival of the
engine from the Union Iron Works at
San Francisco is awaited and when it
arrives and is installed, work will go
ahead at once. A 3-drill compressor
operating Ingersoll-Sargeant drills is
installed, a new gallows frame has been
erected, two Cameron pumps are ready
for use and five 1000 gallon tanks are
on the spot. They will contain the
water for the boiler which will be
capable of generating $50 h. p. The
hosting plant will have rs h. p. and
will be capable of raising rock from a
depth of 1000 feet. 1t is the intention
of President Mccarthy to sink to this
depth before crosscutting. The cap
ping is composed of a volcanic ash and
the management hopes to penetrate it
very quickly.

Force Increaso,l ON California

The force of men at work on the Cal
ifornia-Tonopah has been considerably
increased lately in accordance with a
recommendation from Superintendent
Chandler and three shifts are now being
worked. The lode porphyry has been
reached and crosscutting is now going
on actively at the 40O-foot level. There
is every indication that a strike will
soon be made and, till it is made, the
company can afford to go on working
for an indefinite length of time, as it
has an extremely strong treasury. The
company's working shaft is situated on
the Maggie o, one of the group of five
full claims and two fractions, which
make up the company's property. This
property is very favorably located, be-
ing bounded on the east by the Ophir
King, on the south by the Toledo group
and on the west and north by the Jim
Butler and the Jim Butler Extension.
