GOLDEN
ARROW

Pete Wyneken, who came in from
Clifford Wednesday, says there is con-
siderable activity at Golden Arrow and
some important discoveries have been
made there during the past few weeks.
The Meyer and Irving lease on the
Page Bros ground is looking especially
well. The shaft on it is now down 40
feet and at this point five and half
foot ledge has been opened up.
Jack Longstreet came in from Golden
Arrow Wednesday and had an assay
made by E. L. Fletcher of rock taken
from his claims six and one-half miles
southwest of his ranch. The returns
were surprising, even to Mr.. Longstreet,
being $3.50. IS in gold and S650.20 in
lsilver.
j. F. Hall, recorder of the Golden
Arrow district is in town. He says
there is much activity at Golden Arrow.
There are about twenty people in the
camp and more arriving there daily.
Capitalists are turning their attention
that way especially Salt Lake and Los
Angeles moneyed men.
Captain Cotter has begun active
operations on his property. In cross
cutting on ledge recently encountered
the Captain has opened up an ore shoot
1-2 feet in width which will pan $50
in gold. Alongside of the pay shoot
are small stringers that are sprinkled
with gold. These are virtually surface
workings.
A discovery of Importance has just
been made on the Jack Rabbit claim OF
the Pete Larson group, ledge three
feet in width having been uncovered
which shows values clear across Of $75
G. W. Snider. representing Frank
Work of the Hanapah mine and Salt
: Lake capitalists, has traced ledge or
Dead Horse Mountain for more thar
600 feet, that gives values of $96.37 tC
the ton in gold and silver. The ledge is
> two and half feet wide, aud stamps
: the discovery as very important one

. perienced prospector and well-postec
mining man.
The Golden Arrow mining compan.
e has begun operations. A shaft is beinl
v sunk and a hoist has been ordered

The Red Top.

The Red Top is without a doubt one
of the great mines of the land and it is
getting greater day by day. The latest
chapter in the story of this mines
phenomenal development was recorded
Saturday when in the north drift on the
165 foot level, the same ledge which
has made it one of the great mines of
the country, was encountered, carrying
values. Opening up the treasure-bear-
ing vein at 165 feet proves the Red
Top to be richer by far than even the
most sanguine of its shareholders had
predicted. Three inches, its richest
streak, runs $5196. 45; three feet gives
an average return of S430 and 10 feet
goes $50 or better. Compared with
the values found in the upper levels,
the latest ore body runs practically the
same. The high-grade streak, carry
ing $4,000 values is next to the hanging
wall and the S430 ore is in the footwall.
The entire ledge is nearly 200 feet
wide and it all carries good values.

west End.

The annual meeting of the Tonopah
Extension milling and mining company,
which owns the West End mine, was a
most important one to the stockholders.
over 45O. 900 shares of the capital stock
were represented.
The main Office Of the company was
changed to San Francisco, for the con-
yenience of the stockholders. This
necessarily brought about changes re-
suting in the election Of the following
officers for IT, ensuing year: F. II.
Smith, president; b. f. Edwards, vice
president; Dennis Searles, secretary;
C. B. Zabrisllie, treasurer, and F. H.
Smith, w. J. Douglass, j. J. McQuil-
Ian, Dennis Searles and b. + Edwards
directors.
NJ. 3. Kerr, one Of the most capable
mining superintendent in the West,
was chosen superintendent. He ar
rived in Tonopah Tuesday evening from
Grass Valley and at once took charge
Of the mine.
A financial statement from the retir-
ing officers show the finances of the
company to be in excellent condition
and the condition Of the mine justities
important improvements, consisting Of
an additional working shaft, which will
be a double compartment, regulation
size, equipped with the latest and most
economical hoisting plant, which the
management will decide upon. This
plant will be Of sufficient capacity tC
develop the property to depth of 2OOC
feet.
Developments in the mine in the pas
two months are of a most satisfactory
nature, the ledge being of such widtl
as to prevent actual knowledge of it
extent. Development work has beeI
retarded to some extent on account 0
encountering gas, which at times ha
caused entire suspension of work for
few days.
The management feel that the expert
mental point has been passed, and WI
now begin work on basis warrante

pany will be at 101 Sansome street afte

BAXTER
SPRINGS

Baxter Springs now occupies a con-
spicuous position in the public eye.
Two months ago this camp began to
attract the attention of mining men
through a discovery made by Messrs.
Davenport, Ratschki, Allen and Church.
Since that time other finds have been
made and today Baxter Springs bids
fair to rival and perhaps exceed, the
great camp of Manhattan. The min
eral belt is the same that has become
famous as containing rich gold values
at Manhattan. The values are in por-
phyry, lime and granite and the forma-
tion is said to be similar to that of the
| big mining counties of Colorado. The
dykes are strong and well defined and
can easily be traced on the surface,
Each day develops new and startling
strikes and paintings of gold are made
every day. Atpresent there are nearly
200 people in the district and it is be-
lieved that within short time there
will be at least 1000.
The new telephone line to connect
Tonopah and Manhattan is now within
six miles of Baxter springs.
The Baxter Springs-Manhattan min
ing company has been organized to de
velop five claims at Baxter Springs
There are several ledges with values
running high in gold. A shaft is nov
being sunk on the property, and tn
work Of developing the ground will b

A New Manhattan Company.

One Of the most important companies
organized to operate in the Manhattan
district is the Bronco Manhattan Min
ing Company, which was formed this
week by John ]. Mullin to develop the
now famous Bronco claim at Manhat-
tan. The company is Incorporated
under the laws of South Dakota with a
capital of 81, 900, 600, in one million
shares of 81 each, of which 500, 900 have
been placed in the treasury. The
officers and directors are Alonzo Trip,
General Manager Of the Tonopah and
Goldfeld Railroad, President; James
McQuillan, director of the West End,
Midway and Montana-Tonopah mines,
vice-president; w. w. Keith, Auditor
Tonopah and Goldfeld Railroad, treas
urer; Emil Stauf, secretary; Frank A..
Keith, general manager of the Belmont,
Jim Butler and Tonopah Mining Com
panies, consulting engineer; John Han
nan Of the Portland mine, Cripple
Creek, and John j Mullin, who will
also be general manager.
The Bronco, which endlines the Mus
stang, was one of the first claims To-
Gated in the district and covers for its
entire length of 1900 feet one of the
best defined veins in the camp, and il
was the discovery of shoot of S700 ore
in lease No. that really caused the
remarkable rush to Manhattan. 1t wa!
afterwards found that the loeators haC
built their discovery monument out o
, shipping ore and leases are now being
worked on the claim, three of whicl
are extracting shipping ore and NOR
fine specimens have been taken fror
, this property than from any other i
: the district. The list of directors in
, cludes not only the most conservative
r but also the best mining men of thi
: State, who satisfied themselves of tn
. immense value of the mine before be
coming connected with the company
and this alone is guarantee to the il
Il vestor. 1t is said that Mr. Mullin pal
4 500, 600 for the property and is in treat
for five other valuable claims for IL
! company, which are now being e,
- amined 10y his engineers. Of the trea
ury stock, which is to be listed on Il
Pittsburg and San Francisco Exchange
150, 600 shares will be offered for su

w. A. McGonagill, of Silver Bow,
came into town this week. He says
the Douglass and Cirac lease on the
Lucky Boy claim of the McGonagill
Silver Bow mining company have just
sunk shaft to depth Of rs feet and
are now crosscutting TO the south.
They have just cut the ledge in this
crosscut thirty feet from the shaft
which gives excellent results. The width
of the ledge has not as yet been deter
mined. Another crosscut has been
started to the north to intercept anoth-
er ledge which cropped on the surface
ard which sssayed high.
Mccarthy and Herman, who have jus
returned from trip to Carson, hav,
resumed work on heir lease, which aI

The Sandstorn.

The Sandstorm mining company of
Goldfeld has declared a dividend-its
first.
The Sandstorm company was origin
ally capitalized at 100000 shares, of
which 400, 600 shares were treasury
stock. OF the treasury stock only
55, 900 shares were ever sold. The prop
erty was so productive from the begin
ming and returned such royalties from
its leases, that it was never necessary
to realize on its treasury stock. Con
sequently there is only an issue of 655,
900 shares upon which to pay divid.
ends, instead of a million or more as il
most cases, and the disbursement will
be at least a third greater in conse
quence.

Nevada GoIdfeIds.


The Nevada Goldfelds Development
Company of San Diego, is prosecuting
work with vigor on its ground at Gold
Mountain. The shaft is down over so
feet and the ledge is improving with
depth. This company is one of the
best operating around the Tonopah
district and it is showing excellent
Judgment in sinking its shaft on the
ledge.
A BONANZA representative visited the
mine last Monday and was particularly
pleased with what he saw. Mr.. Jen-
nings and two men were busily engaged
drilling in the bottom of the shaft and
they predict great things within the
next twenty feet. This company re-
Gently bought the Glen claim adjoining,
which has three lodges cropping on the
surface. 1t has also completed the
purchase of the MARY" and Louise"
claims near Clifford, which have most
excellent surface showings. The prin-
cipal officers of the Nevada Goldfields
Development company visited this sec
tion last month and returned to San
Diego convinced that they have one of
the best properties in Nevada, and we
agree with them.
Palmetto.
The rush to Palmetto is on in great
shape and if the present conditions con-
tinue the new camp will soon be the
scene of great and permanent pros
perity. All the reports coming from
the camp the past week have been to
the same effect-improvement in both
lodges and the values. President Bert
. Smith and Director George A. Bartlett
of the Palmetto Company visited their
property a few days ago. They say
that work will be pushed vigorously
from now on. In all about fifteen
i, leasers are operating on the company s
property and in every instance are
e working with encouraging results.
! Three or four Of them have struck the
t shipping quality and are sacking; the
