WEEK IN TONOPAH MINES
The MONTANA
TONOPAH MINE

Preparations are being made at the
Montana-Tonopah to continue the shaft
70 the next level, which will be 600 feet.
A small force of men with a four-horse
shovel are busy on the grading for the
new mill to be erected by the company.
Owing to the nature of the ground the
work is little slow. General Mana
ger Kerr has expressed his belief, how
ever, that the mill will be in operation
within seven months. Contract for
the machinery has been awarded to
the Allis-Chambers Company of Chicago.
The specifications cover all heavy ma
chinery, including stamps, motors and
concentrating tables. The amount of
the award is $50, 900 and provides for
the delivery of all materials in Tonopah.
1t is expected that the first shipment
will reach camp by the first of the year.

McSOrley Returns.

Thomas E. McSorley of Tonopah re-
turned last Sunday from a two weeks
trip to Jackson mountains, in the north
western portion of Humboldt county,
80 miles from Winnemucca, whittier he
had gone in the interest of Prescott
Ely and j. j. McSorley, mining men of
this place. He reports considerable ex-
citement in copper mining on Jackson
creek. Several companies have been
formed and are now operating there
and excellent copper showings have
been found.
Further north, about twenty miles
at the town of Dyke, several good look
ing gold prospects are now being de-
veloped and that camp promises to be
one of the first gold producers of the
state.
Mr.. McSorley was accompanied by
John Jackson of Calaveras county, Cal. +,
an old prospector and miner, who was
in that locality 40 years ago and after
whom jackson mountain and Jackson
creek were named. Mr.. jackson was
at that time favorably impressed with
the locality and had found good pros
poets but the Indians became so hostile
several whites being killed that he
pulled up stakes and struck out fol
California, and this was his first return
to the place since his departure.

ABOUT WEST
TONOPAH STRIKE
Indications Point to the DiScOv-
cry Of Pay Ore---Shaft is
Down $40 Feet

The recent rumor regarding strike
on the West Tonopah would seem to be
well founded. Around the shaft all is
hustle and activity. The drill sharpen
ing machine is ceaselessly at work, indi-
eating that more vigorous prosecution
Of the work was intended. While those
in charge will make no statement what
ever 1T was learned upon good authority
that the workings have encountered a
quantity of paying values. How large
this body is no one connected with the
mine cared to state. Should the ore be
in stable quantities, the development
along the "fiat" would no doubt be
marvellous and the possibilities at this
end of the camp can readily be imagined.
After the shaft on the West Tonopah
mine had reached depth of 528 feet a
notable change was discovered in the
formation. A tunnel was run to the
north which encountered ledge about
18 inches wide. From the dip of the
vein the indications were that cross
cut at about 700 feet would catch the
vein. The shaft was sunk to 720 feet.
From this point tunnel was run 100 feet
to the north and turning to the west.
No values We're encountered and the
vein lost. A winze was then sunk to
the lowest level which is 800 feet. 1t
is either in the ground opened by the
winze or on the 820-foot level that the
values have been encountered. The
exact location, however, cannot be acer-
tanned. The mine has heretofore been
working but two shifts, but recently
increased to three. Assessmen work
is also being pushed on claims controlled
by the company which adjoins the ground
upon which the shaft is sunk. The evi-
dent purpose being desire to secure as
soon as possible patents on the land This
in itself is most significant. Aside from
the preparations going on at the West
Tonopah the balance of the ''fiat" dis
trict is experiencing sudden rejuvi-
nation. The Great Western, which has
been closed down for year or more is
overhauling its machinery with the in
tention of resuming operations at once.
The Golden State which has been run
ming in desultory manner have in
creased its shift to two and are now
pushing work on most systematic
basis. 1t begins to look as though the
large sums of money spent and the pre-.
sistent work carried on are about tc
bring some returns to the West Tonopaf
company and incidentally start boom
at the southwest end of the camp.

The TONOPAH
MINING COMPANY

An additional story is being added
to the Office of the Tonopah Mining
Company. For some time past they
have been in need of greater Office fa-
cilities and this additional floor will af-
ford the needed relief. The new por-
tion will contain five rooms, while on
the first floor and additional room is to
be added. 1t is the purpose to central
ize all departments of the mine so that
as soon as the alterations are complete,
the engineers as well as the other de-
partments, which at present are some
what scattered will be housed in the
reconstructed building. The excava-
tion for the new mess-house is finished,
but further progress on the structure
is held up on account of the delay in
furnishing the necessary material. The
new house will be located east of the
group Of company cottages. Accom-
modations for eighteen men will be
provided This will just about cover
the Office force. Among other improve
ments new complete water line has
been laid with hose connections through
out the company's property, providing
ample protection in case of fire. The
compressor recently installed in the
Mizpah shaft house is now in commits
sion. 1t is product of the Fulton Iron
Works and is capable of an air supply
of 1900 cubic feet per minute. A 2OC
h. p. General Electric Motor is used as
the motive power.

The Greenwater Mining District

Although handicapped by the absence
of hoisting facilities the Greenwater
and Death Valley Copper company, are
losing no time in the proper develop
ment of their properties. A force of
40 men is engaged in prospecting the
claims. At one point shaft has been
sunk to depth of 80 feet. A drift has
been run feet in the ore body running
about 20 per cent copper and it is
thought that is possible to drift at least
16 feet before the wall will be struck.
1t is the intention of the company to
erect at once three hoists. The ma
chinery has already been ordered. A
New York concern is to furnish two of
the hoists and third is to come from
San Francisco. Every effort is being
made to expedite the delivery of the
outfits. Donald Gillies, who is at
present in New York, made this matter
one of the principal points for journey
ing to the East. Malcolm Macdonald
left Wednesday for Greenwater where
he will stay for several days studying
the conditions.

PROGRESS ON
MIDWAY MILL
Leaching and Slime Tanks Com
pleted---Delay in Material
Retarding the Work.

Lack of material is greatly retarding
the completion of the Midway mill.
Four carloads Of machinery are now in
transit, and pending their arrival in
Tonopah the operations are of necessity
confined to cleaning up and odd work
here and there. When completed the
mill will contain 20 stamps in four bat
teries of five stamps each. Four Hunt
ington mills will perform the grinding.
Two of these grinders are yet to arrive.
The grinders in use in the old mill will
be used in the new. Everything is in
readiness for the placing of four con-
centrating tables, which are to be of
the Whitley type. the operating power
will be furnished by 100 h. p. electric
engine, which is already installed.
Necessary wiring is in place and it re-
mains but to connect up with the
transformer The old engine will be
uncoupled, but not dismantled. At
present a force of fifteen or twenty
men are at work. Twelve new leach
ing tanks are in place completed with
the exception of the filters. -Four
slime tanks have been constructed and
the elevator to carry sand to the sand
tank will be finished this week. The
belt for conveying the ore from the
crusher has arrived, but not put in
place as yet A small working electric
motor has been put into commission
and is greatly aiding the work of re-
construction. In remodeling the in
terror, 10 of the old stamps are being
utilized. When completed the mill will
be used to treat ores only of the Tono-
pah Mining Company's mines. Large
quantities of good milling ore are lying
on the dumps, portion of which was
taken out by the original leasors and
the balance in conjunction with the
regular development of the mines under
the direction of the company. 1t is the
leasors' waste" that is expected to
prove the richest. Mr.. Parsons, gene
raj superintendent of the Tonopah Min
ing Company, has just returned from a
trip to Denver, made specially to hasten
the shipment Of the necessary material
to complete the work. Just when the
mill will be in operation is matter of
conjecture at the present time.

The Tonopah Exthnsion.

In an interview with Manager Kirchen
of the Tonopah Extension he said: 81
do not know of any news of particular
moment in connection with the mine.
The conditions never looked in better
shape that at the present time. We
are worked to our utmost capacity in
extracting ore. Large bodies are en-
countered in such close proximity to
each other that we are practically work.
ing continuously in one large deposit.
Our equipment is in the best of shape
for accomplishing the most practical
results. In word everything is rum
ming along smoothly and the prospects
are that the mine will continue to be a
great producer for an unlimited period. "

Rich Claims.

Charles L. Knox and A. j. Pritchard
of Reno have secured an option for $1O,-
900 on what is known as the Homestake
Fraction, the Black Swan Hill Frac-
tion, the Ell Rio Ray and Diamond
claims in the Ramsey district, says the
Virginia Enterprise. The papers cover
ing the transaction will be executed in
a few days. These claims lie between
the well known Red Top and Starlight
properties, where assays as high as $50
have been returned, and the ledge run
ming through the latter mines is be-
lieved to extend into the claims Just
bonded. An offer of $40, 900 has lately
been refused by the owner of the Red
Top. The ledge holds a free-milling
gold proposition, in a formation Of
rhyolite and porphyry.

Although the grading has been COM
pleted for some time, but the tracks
have not as yet been laid on the rail-
road spur to the ore bins which are
being erected on the MacNamara prop
erty. The bin house is practically
finished, except the roof. The hoist on
this property is temporarily closed
down for overhauling. Ageneral clean
up is under way about the dump and a
new trestle has been erected to connect
with the bin house. AS soon as the
improvements are completed the West
End mine will hoist through the Mac
Namara shaft. 1t is expected that
everything will be in shape by the close

Once under way it is very unlikely that
it will never shut down for reasons other
than repairs as the volume of milling

New Standard Oil Station.

During the past week arrangements
were completed by the Standard Oil
Company through its San Francisco
representative to install a station in
Tonopah, adjoining the Tonopah and
Goldfield railroad on the Sand Grass
claim. 1t will be typical Standard
Oil station, consisting of a storage tank
for illuminating oil and a storehouse for
lubricating oils and gasoline. An office
building will also be erected. The rail-
road will run spur into the station so
that the tank can be filed directly
from tank-cars. Work will be insti-
tuted at once and two months time will
see Toonopah equipped against the
possibility of recurrence of the gaso-
line famine" which recent was ex-
perienced in the camp. The capacity
of the tank or the effect that the in
stallation of the local station, would
have upon the price of oils and gasoline
could not be learned. 1t is expected,
however, that there will be material
reduction in the cost of the products.
The large number of mines and homes
still using oil and the steadily increas-
ing number of automobiles will no doubt
warrant the erection of a good-sizeC
plant. Who the local representative il
to be has not as yet been given out.

Interest in oddie Lease Sold.

An important deal involving Goldfield
property was closed in Tonopah this
week. A one-quarter interest in the
Oddie lease on the Mohawk, owned by
Waite Rice and D. R. Sheehan of Man
haitian, was sold to Fred Naylor of
Tonopah. Mr.. Naylor is member of
the brokerage firm of Naylor and Law
son. The purchchase price of the interest
was $25,0OO. When it is considered
that the lease will expire in January of
next year, the sum paid is most liberal.
1t would certainly indicate that there
has been no failing of the richness of
the lease, to justify so large an outlay
on such short time. with the hope of
realizing large profits on the money
involved. Mr.. Naylor is most sanguine
that his venture will be a most ad-
vantageous one for him.

CAMP OF WONDER
TO The FRONT
Ten Tons Of Ore Being Taken Out
Daily With an Output
of $4,000

GoLDFIELD, New, Sept. 10, 1900
With a surface showing which rivals
that of Goldfield district at the same
period of development, and shipping
ore being secured in 80 places, the
camp of Wonder, Is miles north of
Fairview, comes to the front as the
scene Of the latest Southern Nevada
stampede. Since the first locations
we're made in this district during the
spring and early summer, the district
has seen the Mecca for prospectors from
all sections and the development work
has revealed shipping ore in so many
places that the new camp today looks
as if would be second Goldfield within
a short time.
The town is growing rapidly; people
from all sections are going in, the Main
street lots are held at several thousand
dollars, while they could have been
bought short time ago for one or two
hundred dollars.
The first stock offering to be made
from the new camp of Wonder was
presented this week by Patrick, Elliott
& Camp of Goldfeld, the pioneer
brokerage firm, which has organized
the North Star company of Wonder,
owning the North Star and adjoining
claims known as the John T. Hodson
group. L. l.. Patrick, the promoter. of
the Combination mine of Goldfeld, the
first dividend payer in this camp, is the
president of the North Star Wonder
company, and Sol Camp, well known in
mining circles, is vice president. The
company is capitalized for 1000, 900
shares having par value Of 81 share.
The first offering of this stock was
made this week, and the Goldfeld allot-
ment is stated to have been over-sub-
scribed several times. The company
will make its first public offering in the
camp of Wonder.
Its holdings consists of 60 acres within
500 feet of the original discovery.
Tremendous surface values have been
secured from many points on this ledge,
rich float assaying high in the thousands
has been picked up on the ground of the
North Star claim, and the property
promises to develop into one of the
leading mines in the sensational new
camp.
On the Jack Pot group, which ad-
Joins the North Star, a crew is sacking
ten tons of ore daily which averages
$500 to the ton, making a total output
OF $1,000 day.
On the property embraced in the
original discovery known as the Wonder
group, the 52-foot tunnel has tapped q
a l4-foot ledge which averages straight
across better than 500 a ton. This
rich ore shoot is impregnated with
stringers carrying sensational values
Samples running high in the thousands
can be picked up at almost any place
and a 500 general average for the
entire ledge is stated to be very con
servative figure.
The recent strike on the Spider claim
proved the mineralized district to be
five miles long.

improvements at Jim Butler.

The new dumping trestle at the jim
Butler mine is now in operation. A
new landing has been built on the hoist
ing frame about feet from the sur
face of the ground. The length of the
trestle is about 25 feet. It is built on
the top of the old dump to the north of
the shaft. That conscientious work is
being done in the mine is clearly in
dicated by the rapidity with which the
space beneath the trestle is being filled
with debris.

The Nevada Douglas.

Superintendent j. H. Smith of the
properties of the Nevada Douglas Cop
per company has forwarded his report
covering the past month to the local
Offices of the company and, among
other things states:
From the work done in the lower
pit of the Casting Copper claim some
20 tons of first class copper ore was
produced. From this pit the ore has
been drifted on for rs feet to the north
and shows the ore pitching down along
well defined fissure. The outside pit
mas been sunk Ia feet and the bottom
is all in good ore. From the bottom of
the inside pit, % feet deep, drift has
been driven 10 feet to the south. There
Is considerable ore in this winze that
VIII average as well as 45 per cent cop
per. The Pearse drift is in heavy
garnet lime carrying some sulphides.
10 the north of the Hagenbarth tunnel
on the Copper Hill claim we are open
ing up pronounced outcrop adjoining
the porphyry which intrudes here. We
have fine showing of good ore at this
point. Regarding the new strike where
we have been getting out 20 per cent
ore, a deep green malachite, similar to
that in the green fissure, is about IL
teet wide dipping to the west and re-
placing white and blue lime, also
lime shales, The hanging wall or west
side is porous iron in gypsum, in the
other wall a massive white lime. The
tunnel on the Copper Oxide is q feet
long with ore all the way. The last
sample went 4.12 per cent copper"
