Mrs Nicholas Longworth reached Lon
don early this afternoon, having jour-
neyed from Southampton, where they
debarked from the American line
steamer st. Louis, in beautiful royal
carriage attached to the American line

The weather was ideal and the coun-

trip to London was looking it's best, so
that their first impression of England,
where they will spend the first fortnight
of their European outing, was most
favorable.
Only short stop was made in South
ampton. The mayor of Southampton
and the American consul there, Mr..
Swain. were the first to greet the
travellers on this soil.
Greeted by Americans
On arriving in London Mr.. and Mrs.
Longworth were met by Ambassador
Reid and members of the embassy staff,
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid, Mr.. and Mrs. Carter,
wife and daughter of the secretary of
the American embassy, and Mrs. Glib

at the entrance to the station several
hundred Americans living in London
had gathered to welcome the couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth will be the
guests of the ambassador and his wife
at Dorchester house while in London.
This afternoon was spent in resting.
In the evening there was family din

ISSUES srATEMEN1

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Extension
Mining company has issued the follow
ing statement OF its operations, to
stockholders:
Gentlemen-In view of the recent
disaster in San Francisco and our in
ability to reach many of o at your
former address,, I beg to inform you as
to the progress of work to date by pub
LEGATION as follows, viz:
Before commencing development
work 4 months ago, trenching was lone
at intervals across the ledge which
trends through your property from the
north end of the Emerald to the south
end of the Ruby claim. The surface
values were small, but uniform. At a
point on the north half of the Emerald.
a tunnel was driven and within rs feet
of it's mouth, cut ten feet of vein mat
ter, a quartz considerably broken up but
showing values in places of from $40 to
$40 in gold. A Wine was started at
this point, and at a depth of 40 feet
from the floor of the tunnel, showed
vein matter on all sides, the quartz car
rying manganese, and some better as
says were obtained. The winze was
then converted into a regular working
shaft 7h by 3k in the clear, by con-
necting with the surface, and a whim
was installed. The shaft is now down
100 feet, and owing to the character of
the vein filling, which is still broken
has been timbered throughout. Assays
from the shaft going over $500 to the
ton have been obtained, but this only in
specimen quantities, and it is not ex-
pected by the management to extract
ore of better than a good milling aver
age value until considerably greater
depth has been attained.
1t is the opinoin of your superintend-
emit, Mr.. r. J. Doyle, that you a a
true fissure vein extending for the full
length of your property, viz, 5000 feet
and that it's trend as determined by
survey, it's values, the character of
the ore, and the surface indications
traceable directly from your property
onto and across that of the Montgom-
ery-Shoshone Consolidated Mines com
pany, leave no doubt as to your possess
sion of the true extension of the origi-
nal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. quartz vein.
Publication for patent was concluded
in April, no adverse is now possible,
and receivers receipt from the U. S.
land office in Carson is now being is
sued.
Your company has no indebtedness,
and it's finances are in a healthy condi-
ton.
Aside from the great merit of your
property as shown by development
work at this early date, the value of
your investment has been extraordinar-
lily increased by circumstances which a
few months & could not have been
foretold. These are the purchase of the
property paralleling your own on the
north and west by Mr.. Charles Schwab,
the near approach of the Clark railroad
which will pass across your property,
the commencement of work or the Gold
ield-Bullfrog railroad for which the
contracts have now been let, and most
important of all to you. the decision of
your neighbor. the Montgomery-Sho-
shone Consolidated Mines company to
erect a great custom mill in the vicinity
of it's property and your own.
Respectfully,
J. c. MCCORMACK,
President and General Manager.

TRANsvAAL DISTRICT

The shaft on the T%ransvaal of Ne
vada has reached so feet, and crosscut-
ing and drifting have been begun. Dur
ing last week the trench, which eX-
posed the high values some time ago,
was sunk about two feet deeper where
the richest ore was shown. and two as
saws were made, giving the fine returns
of $500 and $3.50 in gold. The ma
terial assayed was taken from Ollie
formation. The lateral work now in
progress will demonstrate something OF
a definite nature in a few days.
Good paintings are secured at a depth
of eight feet on the Rigo claim, owned
by T. L. Oddie and associates.
Mr.. James who discovered the ore on
the Montgomery S~hoshone, is securing
paintings from ground 1000 feet east of
the strike, and is in hopes of locating
the lead in a short time.

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


DENVER
The third level in the Denver has ex-
posed a continuous ore body for 900 feet
in length, the values varying from a
good grade of milling to high grade
shipping. The level has shown values
from the beginning. but came into the
rich ore at the junction with the winze.
Up to that point. which is 27O feet under
cover, no prosecuting has been done to
determine whether the rich ore is pres
ent on the west sic of the drift, as is
the case northerly from the winze, the
drift having been continued beyond the
manganese streak and in the ore. TAX
ing the facts just as they are without
looking behind the suspicious looking
manganese streak; there are 800 feet Of
good ore exposed continuously in this
drift, and the ore where crosscut beyond
the winze is 33 feet in width, carrying
excellent milling values all the way.
The vertical depth attained in the face
of the drift is close to 300 feet, which
has been gained after driving $40 feet.
The second winze from the third level,
which is being sunk 200 feet beyond the
first, or 40 feet under cover, is down
35 feet and continues to show the good
ore, while the first winze 270 feet under
cover has exposed the ore for an dbl
tional 100 feet in depth, or approx
mately $50 feet vertical.
Another important development took
place this week when the east crosscut
from No. 8 level opened one foot of ore
that will run above $3.50. The entire
width of milling values exposed in the
second crosscut at this point is pene-
trating a streak of basalt, the presence
of which heretofore has been an indica-
tiOn of rich ore

on the Short End fraction of the Gold
King group. In ~excavating for a wagon
