Tenth and Market Streets.
While Policeman William Snyder
was patrolling his beat about noon
today he found a grip, which was
lying partly open alongside Of the
Ford Building, at Tenth and Market
streets, which, upon investigation,
was found to contain five sticks Of
dynamite, some fuses and caps. The
officer handled it very gently and took
it to the police station, where it was
slowed away in a safe place, while an
investigation could be made.
The police were in a quandary, as
they had no idea how it happened to
be where it was found. While the
matter was being discussed at police
headquarters a man entered the Office
and said the grip resembled one he
had seen in the possession Of William
Weldin, a we'll digger, and it is sup
posed that he used the dynamite IN
connection with his business. 1t was
evidently accidentally left where il
was found.

MINING

The ground of the Bullfrog Mining
adjoins and is Immediately south of the
National Bank. This property is being
systematically developed by both lateral
and vertical work with encouraging re-
suits. Recently work was resumed on
the eastern side of the mountain, where
excellent values have been obtained. The
main crosscut on the west side of the
mountain is in between $50 and 500 feet.
In this distance three lodges have been
encountered with milling bodies. There
is a 100-foot raise to the surface on one
of the lodges, a 1O0-foot winze on an
other and 200 feet of drifting. Good
values are shown. In some instances
specimen material has gone into the
thousands.

INCREASING PROFITS OF
THE sMELTER TRUST

American Smelling and Refining COM
pany is interesting as showing the
growth of the smelling industry in the
United States and incidentally the prof
its derived therefrom. The gross earn
ings for the last fiscal year were $11,-
663,SS5, an increase of $1.159.202 over
the previous year. Net earnings were
s10,161.35s. an increase of s1,262.546.
As a result of these operations the COM
pany carries over the large surplus of
S2.024.055. an increase of $405. 1l3 over
last year. The preferred and common
shares of the company were responsible
for the distribution of So. 100000 in divi-
dends.

GIBRALTAR WILL
sroPE HIGH GRADE

Superintendent Nelson started a stope
Tuesday from No. 2 Gibraltar tunnel.
The stope has been started 20 feet back
of the breast of the drift. with a fine
streak of shipping ore showing in the
intervening space. Several hundred
sacks are upon the dump to be filled
with the sorted ore. This is the first
effort made to mine the ore from the
Gibraltar, all of the ore previously
sacked having been taken out in develop
ment. The crosscut has not reached No.
5 ledge, which is probably 20 feet ahead.
Ledge No. 4, which was crosscut in
No. 1 tunnel, has been proven fully so
feet in width, all of which shows gold
in the pan, with streaks of shipping
ore on either wall and in the center of
the ledge. Ore has been sacked from
the three rich portions, with an aver
age of about $500, although some of the
sacked material will go rs high as $500.
The drifts north and south on the
hanging wall, which have been extended
about 25 feet in either direction, con-
tinue to expose good values. The drift
on No. 8 ledge, exposed in the big cross
cut, also yields good paintings.
A second crosscut has recently been
started to penetrate No. 2 ledge, starting
from the breast of the north drift from
No. l tunnel. The first crosscut, 100
feet back, exposed IS feet of values,
and Superintendent Nelson is running a
second crosscut to determine whether
the first crosscut has been properly
named; he is half inclined to believe
that this is a cross vein, but after driv-
ing IL feet in the second crosscut with
no sign of the end of the ore he is con-
WINGED that the vein is a big one at
any rate.

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT
onrarrAL

The west ~crosscut in the Original has
now beer extended 81 feet beyond the
Pierce shaft. The formation is still
broken and consists of p~orphyry. tale
and shale. indicating that greater depth
is required.
Superintendent Newell is anxious to
get back to work on the shaft, which Is
down 1s1 feet. When sinking Is re-
sumed it is the purpose to sink this
shaft to at least a depth of 800 feet.
1t should be remembered hat the
present west crosscut Is headed towards
the gulch and that. in consequence, YER
teal depth is being lessened.
STRIKE ON CHINA NEVADA
A strike was made in the China-Ne-
vada on Monday. In the crosscut from
the 50-foot shaft the miners broke into
a vein of quartz. spar and manganese
that pam from $40 to SIS. At this writ
ing (Friday a. m.) there is 4 feet OF
this ore.
Ore has been uncovered in two diff
ferent crosscuts from the west drift at
the Transvaal. Recent assays OF the
material rave returns of IS and SIS re-
spectively. Or the Congo claim, 500
feet west of the Transvaal shaft. a new
eight-foot vein has been discovered
which gave an average assay value OF
$40, with a small streak running $6e'
d. c. Probasco has been placed in
charge of development.
sTEINwAY
The crosscut northeast from the 200
foot level at the Steinway is in ledge
matter 90 feet and superintendent VIII
son says IL is looking fine. The material
is quartz and tale. with some mangan-
ese. The crosscut being driven south
east for another lead is in 10 feet and
the ledge is expected now at any shot

for the full seven feet of the shaft.
There are drifts from the 100 in 100
feet each north and south on the vein;
also, one in As feet from the so. Fur
their drifting will be inaugurated when
the 200 is reached. Values as high as

In this same vicinity is the Little
Bullfrog, owned by James Gaffney, the
superintendent, the Patricks of Gold
field and o Beckman of Rhyolite.
The acreage includes 10 claims, 800 feet
from the end lines of one of the Schwab
properties. A double compartment shaft
is down 120 feet and well timbered to
the bottom. Tale streaks are coming in
and the material improving.

Laid mountain is again coming into
a much deserved prominence. add be-
came very fashionable soon after
shorty" Harris made his famous dis
covery on the Original. when Mont
gomery and Bonanza went begging as
matters of secondary consideration.
Their sundry discoveries. possibly of a
more brilliant nature. were made and
Ladd was forced for a time to anguish
in a rear seat. But the promoters of
Laid mining enterprises have never lost
faith. and they are today being eward-
ed for their effort and persistency. Such
we'll known properties as the National
Bank. the Bullfrog Mining. the North
Star, the Midnight Bullfrog. the Dia-
mond Bullfrog, the little Bullfrog and
several others are surely and steadily
forging their way to the front.
NATIONAL BANK
The National Bank is one of the old
est locations on the mountain, at its
northern extremity, and the one on
which the greatest amount of develop
ment work has been done. The prop
erty is equipped with a 25-borse power
gasoline hoist and a compressor plant.
The shaft has reached a depth of 800
feet. There are stations at the 100, 200
and $50, and the sum total of the work,
both vertical and lateral. will approx
mate $500 feet. The ore bodies so far
opened are of a very satisfactory nature
as a general milling proposition, and
some very high grade lenses have been
discovered. 1t was only the other day
that a $4,000 sample was obtained in
the north drift from the 200, and an
average of the streak gave a return of
$6S2.

Further east on the base is Bob Mont
gomery's Quartette, which has a shaft
down about 20 feet and a tunnel in abou
100. Here a good naturalization has
been revealed.

LADD

Further north is the Ladd Mountain
Mining company's property on which
work was recently started under the
Management of Jack Lynch. A per-
pendicular shaft, ski feet in the clear,
has been started and will be sent to the
200 before lateral work will be started
for the vein.

rRAMPs CONSOLIDATED

An upraise will be made from the
south drift in the Eclipse to connect
with the Tramp shaft. The work will
be done in ore, a shoot of excellent
values now being exposed in the drift.
The Tramp shaft also has a fine show
ing of ore. At the Denver, Superintend-
emit Blackmar will soon start blasting
for a station at the junction of the
fourth level and the WINE, and will
continue sinking. After about so feet
of work is accomplished, a 25-horse
hoist will be installed. The five levels
in the Denver aggregate more than LOO
feet of straight ahead" work, not
counting the stope or the various cross
cuts.

MINING

superintendent Morris reports that
the face of the tunnel of the Indian Girl
claim of Bullfrog Mining estate is show
ing a fair grade of milling ore on the
average. The tunnel has been drifting
in the ledge for 200 feet, exposing values
all the way, the highest assays running
up to 500. A quantity of the better
grade of ore has been saved. The in
dications are so encouraging that the
company will sink on the ledge. The
big bore on the west side of the noun
tain is being continued. Eight men are
employed.

HoMESTAKE

A station is being cut at the 300-foot
level in the Homestake Consolidated,
with a view of resuming sinking as
soon as this work is accomplished. The
north drift at this level has been ex-
ended 800 feet, and the breast continues
to show excellent values, the gold pan
ming freely. The south drift which has
been run ESQ feet, is also in ore. The
crosscut west from the south drift is
following a cross vein which is also
showing satisfactory values.
