Consumption Is a Germ Disease? How

This is a reasonable question and one
that must arise to the mind of almost
everyone when the claim is made that
consumption starts with 4 cold. The
cold simply prepared the system for the
reception and development of germs Of
that disease, that would not otherwise
have found Judgement. 1t is the same
with diphthrrie, scarlet foyer and
measles. They are most likely to he
contracted when a child has a cold.

MIDWAY MILL
TO START SOON

A large force of men under the super
vision of S. Kidder has been set to
work by the management of the Tono-
pah Mining company on alterations and
improvements of the. leasers' mill on
the Midway ground, which was taken
over by the Tonopah Mining company
early this spring. The whole mill is
being altered to render it suitable for
the same process of ore treatment
which will be used IN the company's
100-stamp mill at Miller's Siding, and
such good progress has been made with
the work that it is hoped the mill will
be ready for the treatment of ore by
Sept. 18th. 1t is practically settled
that this mill will be used solely for the
reduction of ore from the Jim Butler
company, of which there is a large
tonnage on the dumps of the Wander
ing Boy and Stone Cabin claims and
nearly all of which is high grade mill
ing ore. By this arrangement the
property will at once be placed on a
regular producing basis. The Jim But
Ter has never been shipping mine,
although few shipments of very good
ore have been made, but it has some
immense bodies of milling ore, through
which are streaks Of very high grade
ore, making the entire product highly
payable. 1t is the intention of the
company to increase the present
capacity of the mill of 10 stamps to 20
stamps in the near future.

A CINNABAR
STRIKE MADE

A fabulously rich cinnabar strike has
been made few miles southeast of the
town of lone or Midas by F. j. Davis
and j. L. Workman. They have located
nine claims, four of which they have
prospected thoroughly. On one of these
four claims two 30-foot porphyry lodges
intersect and these ledges contain an
average of better than four per cent of
cinnabar, with several broad streaks
going as high as 29 per cent. AS mer-
curry, being very much in demand for
amalgamation and other purposes, is
worth about 1000 per ton, it will
reudily be seen that Messrs. Workman
and Davis have got rock that is worth
about $3.50 per ton. Having wood and
water in abundance on the ground they
should experience no difficulty in fitting
up a retort of their own in order to
treat the ore without being at the cost
of shipping to the smelter.
The ledges in which the cinnabar
values occur have walls of serpentine
and quartzite, and Messrs. Workman
and Davis have located 5000 feet OF
each of the two veins. There is plenty
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-08-18

of room for newcomers, however, as
there is dyke one mile long close by
which showscinnabar wherever sampled.
The cinnabar belt seems to be large
one, extending from one mile to four
miles southeast of lone, lone is about
40 miles north northwest of Cloverdale
and is situated in very pleasant coun-
try. Placer workings have been going
on in the district for the last 40 years,
but the old-timers had not enough
knowledge of mineralogy to know what
the pink-stained rock, which they must
have seen so often, contained. Mr..
Davis is now in town with some beauti-
full specimens of rock, copiously blotcheu
with pink. They alone are enough to
compel credence of Mr.. Davis story, as
it is absolutely impossible to salt or
otherwise fake cinnabar ore, Cinnabar
is not the only resource of the lone dis
trict, as it shows ledges rich in silver,
lead, copper and gold, Two prospec-
tors from the Manhattan district-R.

EAST MANHATTAN
COPPER MINES

Two new copper companies, both
owning property in the East Man
haitian district, have just been incorpor-
ated under the happiest auspices. One
known as Toquima Copper Company,
has six claims. On one of these claims,
the Klondyke, shaft is now down 60
feet. The vein, at the surface, feet
broad, widened at the 40-foot level to IL
feet and at the 60-foot level the hang
ing wall was lost. At the bottom of
the shaft assays show values of Sc in
gold and silver and per cent copper.
On another of the company's claims,
the Marcine, there is 2-foot vein that
returns gold and silver values of $50 in
typical Stray Dog spar. The Bonanza
Copper company, also Incorporated by
McElvaney and Torpey, has four claims
adjacent to the property of the Toquima
Copper company, and the latter's ledge
runs into their ground, carrying gold
and silver values of $12 and per cent
copper.

TONOPAH MINES
LOOKING WELL

Some remarkably rich ore has been
found on the north 400-foot level of the
Montana Tonopah, according to Supt.
Mark B. Kerr. Assays have not yet
been made, but it is anticipated that
the ore will run well into three figures.
Mr., Kerr stated that all was going well
on the Montana: The electric power
plant was working nicely, the COM
pressor was giving complete satisfac-
tion, and fine double-drum hoist was
on its way and would very soon be in
stalled and ready for hosting.
Dealing with the West End, Mr..
Kerr said that this mine would share
in the use of the ore bins which the
Mcnamara was now putting up. The
ore would be conveyed to the bins by
trucks running through tunnel and
then dumped on the cars. The West
Ends main shaft is now down 408 feet
on the ledge and last week 35 tons of
high grade ore from this ledge were
shipped to the smelter.

The TONOPAH
EXTENSION MINE

Before the year is out the Tonopah
Extension will probably have con-
centrating plant ready to commence
operations. Experiments are now
being conducted at Denver" said Man
ager /. G. Kirchen of the Extension to
representative of the BONANZA ito
decide what type of concentration is
most suitable for our requirements.
OF course, until this is settled, we will
not be able to ask for bids and esti-
mates" Questioned as to the truth of
the rumor that John MeKane had sold
his Extension holdings because he con-
sidered that the mine would soon be
worked out, Mr.. Kirchen characterized
the report as a malicious and baseless
canard propagated by envious knockers.
He stated that the mine was producing
from 600 to 800 tons weekly almost all
of which was shipping ore running from
$55 to $50. The great ledge on which
the main shaft is now down distance
of 600 feet, varies from Ia feet to so
feet in width of which ID feet is of
shipping grade. With the help of the
10-drill compressor supplying the motive
power for English and Sergeant and
Wood drills, steady progress is made
every day, band-drilling only being re-
sorted to where the intersection of the
hanging wall is feared. Mr.. Kerchen
wound up by declaring that the mine
never looked better than it did today
and was destined to be a great pro-
ducer for years to come.

BIG RUSH TO
REESE RIVER
The Pioneers Of the District are
the Smith Brothers Of the
Manhattan Section

A considerable rush has set in to the
Upper Reese River district in the
Toiyabe Hills, at point about go miles
northwest of Manhattan. The pioneers
of the district were the Smith brothers
of Manhattan, who have a group of
rich claims near 0phir canyon three
miles from Gooding's ranch. So promis-
ing do they look that Tonopah capi-
talst has secured SIS, 900 option upon
them.
DR.. l. Monahan of Salt Lake City, M.
B. Dudley, president of the Manhattan
Desert Queen gold mining company,
and E. Barchell of Tonopah, have a
group of five claims in Mohawk canyon,
which runs at right angles to the Reese
river, six miles from Gooding's ranch.
There is ledge on each of the five
claims. They run from to IL feet
in breadth and surface assays give an
average value of So.
Humboldt Gates, the well known
Alaska millionaire, with characteristic
prompt itude lost no time in jumping
into the new district. He showed his
faith in the country by Immediately
purchasing a claim for $1,000, cash
down. AS the property is close to water,
Mr.. Gates is Of the opinion that the ore
can be treated at the trifing cost of 81
ton, once mill is erected. The ledge
on Mr.. Gates property is 8 feet wide
and assays range between SIT and $91.
A tunnel has been driven in for dis
tance of S5 feet, and will, it is expected,
tap the ledge in 10 feet more.
There is placer ground as we'll as
quartz in the vicinity of the river, the
gravel for a distance of mile and a half
up and down the creek being rich in
gold. A. McCauley and 7. Johnstone of
Manhattan, have located l6 placer claims
and state that the dirt goes S35 to the
cubic yard. The location work has
been done on all the claims and condi-
tions seem to be very promising.
Mr.. McCauley's brother, Tom Nc
Cauley of Rhyolite and his partner, A.
Holder of Manhattan, have also con-
siderable holdings in the district. So
too has Attorney I. A. A. Siegfriedt
of this city. He has made a thorough
and systematic examination as to its
future.
In ophir canyon Mike Merrick, who
is associated with w. johnson of Man.
haitian, has located much valuable prop
erty, and is optimistic as to the pros
poets of the district. A mining district
has been formed and recorder chosen
and everything seems to point to a
big rush in the fall.
The country is very pleasant one,
with abundance Of wood, water, trout,
game and wild sheep.

M'NAMARA SWITCH
IS ALMOST READY

Grading is now in active progress at
the Mcnamara for the switch which
will be ready for traffic soon after the
first of next month. Supt. Fred Corkill
informed Bonanza man this week that
the grading would be finished by the
end of the month and that the laying
of the ties and rails would only take a
few days more. By the time the
switch is ready the ore bins will also
be completed and it will be possible to
handle the ore much more cheaply and
ship grade of ore that previously
would have had to be left on the dump
pending the installation of mill.
The company's main working shaft is
now down 500 feet on a ledge that
varies four to Is feet in width and
gives values that run from $40 to $3.50.
The scene of the greatest activity in
the mine is at present the No. up
raise on the 300-foot level, where pros
pecting and stopping are now going on.
Questioned as to the probability of the
company installing mill, Mr.. Corkill
was strictly non-committal. "There is
no immediate question as to putting in
MILL" he said. "But no doubt the
company will put one in at some future
date" Mr.. Corkill is optimistic as to
the prospects of the mine, which, he
claims, will retain its position as a
bonanza.

Good News From Silver Bow.

The Silver Bow mining district is
coming to the front as a gold producer,
and that it will soon rank among the
foremost of Nevada camps, there can
be no doubt according to recent reports.
A couple of weeks ago we made
mention of the fact that w. G. Cook of
that place brought in 1900 pounds of
ore which was shipped to Reno for
treatment. That amount of ore, accord
ing to returns just received, yielded,
clear of transportation and reduction
charges 1915. The ore was taken from
the Black Horse mine in that district.
Last Sunday Mr.. Cook brought in
another consignment of 5000 pounds
for the same reduction works. This
ore, we are assured, is even of higher
grade than the preceding shipment.

100000 Tons Ready for STOPPING

A. G. Raycraft, of the Nye & Orsmsby
County Bank, returned Tuesday from
Manhattan, where he was visiting his
brother Dick Raycraft, who is making
such a success of the Raycraft lease on
the Little Gray and also of the Ray
craft & Mclean lease on Union No. 8.
He reports that on these two leases,
which are being worked in conjunction,
there are 200, 900 tons of ore ready for
stoping. This ore has been shown by
exhaustive assays to go $24.75 to the
ton, and, once large mill has been
erected in Manhattan, which will be done
before the year is out, this ore will re-
turn handsome p roft.

Work Pushed on Standard

Local spectators are watching with
great interest the developments at the
Tonopah Standard mine which in the
opinion of many, was too far OUT to
be much good. Crosscuts are now be-
ing run from the 600-foot level in highly
mineralized lode porphyry and Marius
Duval, the general manager, feels con-
fident that ore will be struck in the
property. 1t is sincerely hoped that
this will be so, as it will at once bring
to the front a section of this camp
hitherto overlooked because it lacked
capital with the nerve to sink and an
engineer with the hardihood to recon-
mend it until Mr.. Duvall did SO.
