Manhattan Isabella.

The Manhattan Isabella Mining Com
pany was Incorporated last week with
the following gentlemen as officers and
directors: Dr. Edward Bowes, presi-
dent; ]. A. Roe, vice-president; T. ].
Lynch, secretary and treasurer; H. H.
Brown and II. E. Edwards, directors
The Incorporation is for one million
shares at the par value of one dollar
each fully paid and worcestershire. At
the present time one leaser is working
on this property with very encourag-
ing showing, and it is expected that
high grade shipping ore will be encount-
cred with but little depth. Since the
incorporation Of the company many
overtures have been made for leases,
but it is the intention of the company
to develop the ground under its own
direction and work will start the early
part of next week. The officers and
directors are too we'll known to need
any introduction to the public, they
having been connected with some of the
largest and best properties in Southern
Nevada. Stock will be placed upon the
market at 20 cents per share and th'
showing of the Isabella warrants th'
prediction that it will make a jump al
soon as development is under way.

John w. Brock, the energetic presi-
dent of the Tonopah mining company,
the Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad COM
pany, the Goldfeld & Bullfrog railroad
company and other Nevada corporations,
arrived in Tonopah Wednesday evening
last, accompanied by Frank A. Keith,
the popular and efficient general man
ager Of the Tonopah mining company.
A BONANZA representative shad
pleasant conversation with the gentle
man yesterday. Mr.. Brock was enthus-
iastic in speaking of the wonderful
possibilities and great future of south
western Nevada and especially of Tono-
pah. He said, "This section of the
universe is virtually in its infancy. The
more see of it the more think Of it
and appreciate its richness. 1t has min
eral zone that is deservedly exciting
the admiration of the mining and finan-
cial worlds. AS to the Tonopah mining
company we are making improvements
all the time and are paying 25 cent div
idends every three months. Under the
direction of our able manager, Mr..
Keith, new electric hoists are be-
ing installed at the different shafts
They have four times the hosting
capacity that the old hoists had. The
splendid new hoist on the Silver Tor
No. /, which covers the Valley View
vein is now in place and strong gal.

will be completed in about two weeks
And | wish to call your attention to the
new hoist on the Belmont. 1t is a beau
ty, and the gallows frame is as fine 6
piece Of work as was ever done any
where. Everything is in readiness anC
the new hoist will be placed in commits
sion tomorrow. IL is sure to do excel
lent work. Another thing | wish t
call your attention to is the fact tha
the Red Plume and Mizpah will soon b'
connected on the 500 foot level, and be
fore many months ore will be raise,
through the Red Plume shaft.

Head Of TOnOpah Mining Com
pany Says Railroad Will
be Extended to BullfrOg

much preliminary work was done before
the close of the year, though unforeseen
obstacles that could not be overcome at
the time, delayed the commencing of
actual construction work. Everything
has since been arranged, however, and
the road will be sent through with a
rush. John F. Hedden, for many years
superintendent of the Central New
England Railway, has been appointed
general superintendent Of this road.
Material has been ordered and is now
on the road to Goldfield and it is safe to
say that it will not be many months
before our trains will be running into
the Bullfrog district.
"As to the 100 stamp mill at Millers, |
can only say that it will be completed
and in operation before the close of
summer. The extreme bad weather
has materially hampered us in the con-
struction work, but we believe the
worst is over. When completed the
mill will be one Of the finest in the land !"
Mr.. Keith said that he could add but
little to what Mr.. Brock had stated.
81 will say this, however. that our
tests in Virginia City have been highly
successful. We have been using the
Best & Belcher plant for crushing and
concentrating and the Buffers cyanide
plant for handling the tailings. The
results have more than met our ex-
pectations, and there is no doubt now
as to the success of the future of oul
ore, as we have outlined in our plans
the mill and cyanide plant at Millers
The great drawback has been the alb.
sence of fiuxing ore, put this is some,
thing which is now being taken ii
hand, and the hunt for huxing ores i:

Company Directors

iournment of the stockholders was
taken to 10 o'clock this morning.
Though no word has yet been received

will become one of the strongest min

The stockholders of the Mcnamara
mining company met in San Francisco
yesterday to vote on the proposition of
consolidating that company with the
Ohio and West End. The contest was
bitter one and it was finally decided
to endorse the proposition, provided the
Ohio company accepts 100000 shares
instead of 1000, the other $4,000 to
be given the Mcnamara stockholders,
making 300, 900 in all for that company.
A wire was ordered sent to Youngs-

DECISION

The case of James H. Sim VS.. E. E.
Saylor, j. E. Humphrey, G. E. Maute
and C. A. Cooper, was dismissed by
Judge Breen this morning, non-suit
being granted the defendants. The
suit involved title to the original loca-
tions in the Manhattan district.
Sim claimed that he was entitled to
an interest in the claims located through
an agreement with Saylor made in the
winter of 1904.
Manhattan Claims Bonded.
Two valuable claims, the Little
Johnnie and MONDAY Fraction, COM
prizing about 35 acres surrounded by
such well-known Manhattan proper
ties as the Manhattan Stray Dog the
Manhattan Cowboy, the United Man
haitian Mining Company and the At
lantic and Pacific Mining Company have
been bonded this week by Max jung
handel on satisfactory terms. The
claims are distinguished by the
predominance of highly mineralized
porphyry. Three distinct ledges Of
porphyrytic quartz, assaying on the
surface from $40 to $194 are coursing
through the ground.
