Frank Haley, manager of the Hum
-Tonopah company, spent several
days at Manhattan this week and like
all others who have visited the rapidly
growing young camp, says 1t IS
cracker-jack. "Tents are giving way
to frame buildings and several two
story structures are now in course of
construction, said Mr.. Haley yester-
day. Blasting is heard in every direc-
ton and there is great excitement and
enthusiasm everywhere. The district
is certainly rich one, and if the ledges
go down, will prove to be the greatest
gold camp in Nevada. >
Diamondfield Jack Davis spent sew
eral days at Manhattan last week, re-
turning to Tonopah Monday and leav-
ing the following day for his home in
Diamondfeld. Mr.. Davis was seen by
a Bonanza representative to whom he
stated that in his belief Manhattan is a
second Goldfeld why" said Mr..
Davis, there is rich ore everywhere.
The McAllister lease is a corker, in
fact, | liked it so well that | bought an
interest in it. | also bought two
thirds interest in leases Nos. Z and 8 OF
the Mustang ground. We are only
down ten feet on this, but the showing
is good. The rock averages 5000 to the
ton. | secured an option on the Atlantic
and Pacific claims from Jim Roberts
and associates. This ground lies just
west Of the Cole and Sinclair Union No.
9, which is considered one of the richest
in the district have also purchased
lot on Main street and will build. The
camp is certainly there to stay. "
Judge Richards has received letter
from his son, former district attorney
Charley Richards, who is in Manhattan
in which he states that he has sold tht
two lots on Main street, which HI
bought short time ago for $l75, TO
$1,000, Mr. Richards has several mel
at work on his leases and as he ais
owns some choice claims in the district
he is in fair way to climb the ladde
of financial fame.
McLeod's drug store, on Main stree
in this city, will be removed to Manhat
tan before February lst
Joe Magiil, the stock broker, re
turned from Manhattan Monday. H
says she is a hummer. Lots are in bi
demand and prices are advancin
rapidly. We panned some ore on tn
dump Of the Cole-Sinclair lease Will
there and it yielded so cents to the par
There is richer ore than this even, bt
ing sacked from several places on tn
lease. Manhattan has the lodges an
the ledges have the values.

THE BLAIR
is SOLD

The sale Of the rich Blair mine at
Silver Peak was consummated this
week and the first payment made.
Twenty-Five men were sent to the
property yesterday to open it up and
arrange for developments on an extern
sive scale. Mr.. Efinger who effected
the sale, refuses to disclose the names
of the purchasers although they are
believed to be Philadelphia and New
York capitalists. 1t is thought that
the consideration is in the neighborhood
of s75o,0OO. The property, which be-
came famous as the "Drinkwater, has
been owned by the Blair estate for a
great many years.

wonderful mines of the world.
The Tonopah Belmont Development
company owns the Occidental, Silver
State, Del Monte, Favorite and Shoe
string claims and several fractions
which adjoin the Tonopah mining
ground on the east. A shaft has been
sunk on the Occidental claim to depth
of nearly 1000 feet and the principal
workings at present are on the $50 foot
level. The ledge is mammoth one
and the values are high. This COM
pany, which is owned principally by
Philadelphia people, is now installing
an electric hoist. The company ship
ped over 5000 tons Of ore during the
past year and it is believed that divi-
dend will be declared in the very near
future and possibly next Monday, when
meeting will be held in Philadelphia.
The Tonopah Extension is another of
the great mines of the camp. 1t is
owned by the Schwab- McKane syndi-
cate and has been made big producer
through the combined efforts of John
McKane and Donald Gillies. Last year
it shipped over II, 900 tons of ore, made
many improvements and paid dividends
amounting to $3.50, 1000.

SPLENDID SHOWING OF TONOPAH MINES

Edgar C. Knox and Manager J. A.
Kirby. This mine shipped S,028 tons of
ore during the year and paid dividend
of $100,00 New machinery is about
to be installed, and the work of grad
ing and excavating for the buildings
that will house it, is now in progress.
The Tonopah Midway has made an
enviable record during the year 1905.
This mine has shipped over 1000 tons
and has paid a dividend Of $50, 900.
This company is owned principally by
Tonopah people. j. Cal Brougher who
has done a great deal for the camp is
president and w. J. Douglass, the most
popular and one of the best posted and
most experienced mining men in Ne
vada, is secretary. Ross Condor, who
was one of the original locators of the
property is the very efficient superin-
tendent. This gentleman, though q
man of few words, is without superior
as manager of mine. He has showr
marked ability in opening up the Mid
way and has been the recipient of con
gratulations from the best mining ex
perts of the land who have seen th'
results accomplished.
The North Star, in which Franl
Golden, Harry Ramsey and L. l.. Blum
enthal are heavy owners, became ;
regular shipper during the year. Tn
property of this company adjoins tn

ton of mammoth electrical plant at
Millers, which now furnishes power for
the various hoists and other machinery
of the company, as well as supplying
power to the neighboring mines. 1t
has also, in course of construction, an
10O-stamp mill, which Moore Bros. Of
San Francisco are pushing work on.
They have 1856 men and 35 teams at
work excavating and will commence
the actual construction of the mill
within thirty days. The company has
in addition purchased the ten-stamp
Midway mill and will double its capac-
ity at once. 1t has also purchased two
electric hoists, one for the Mizpah and
the other for the Silver Top. The one
for the Mizpah is now on the ground
and the mine will be closed down the
fore part Of next week, to allow its
installation. The Silver Top hoist is
expected any day. When these are in
place, the mine will be splendidly
eqipped for an increased output. Since
the original discovery, the ore from
the surface has yielded fortunes tc
many lessees; the royalty thereon has
more than provided the amount of the
purchase price, 100000, paid for the
development of the property and its
thorough equipment, and built the To
nopah railroad at a cost of over 5000,
900. For these reasons it is one of thC

RESULTS
FATALLY

Frank P. Sullivan, a Goldfeld miner
Dame in from the latter camp one day
last week with a bundle containing his
mining tools and loaded revolver. He
was on his way to San Francisco and
while here mislaid his package. Upon
reaching Reno, he recalled where he
had left it and wrote friend here to
ship it to him in San Francisco by ex-
press. This was done and while j. G.
Donovan, a clerk, was checking the
bundle in the San Francisco office last
Monday, the revolver was discharged
and Donovan received the bullet in the
stomach, his death resulting on Tues
day.

BulIfrOg Yolo.

A letter from Superintendent Fahy of
the Bullfrog-Yolo was received by
Claude Ford, one of the heavy stock
holders of the company this week. Mr..
Fahy says the Yolo is destined to be-
come a great mine. The shaft is now
down seventy-five feet and will be con
tinued to a depth of 100 feet before
drifting is resorted to. The values are
improving right along. AS yet the
hanging wall of the ledge has not beer
| found.

Tonopah mining company's ground on
the northeast. The North Star stock
is one of the best buys in the market
today. The present market price is
ridiculously low and there is evidently
some inside manipulation that prevents
it going higher. Now is the time to
buy.
The West End is another wonder.
This property became a shipper during
the year. 1t has ledge nearly one
hundred feet wide and the values are
high.
The Ohio has just encountered the
West End ledge and as the company
has just acquired the rich Hully-Logan
and other properties near Dayton, the
stock should command high figure.
Prescott Ely, the manager of this COM
pany, is the right man in the right
place.
Tonopah Gold mountain is another
mine that has shipped considerable ore
during the year. This property is
owned by Tonopah and California peo-
pie and why the stock remains at 9
cents, with the rich ledges in sight, is a
mystery to all. There is evidently
some inside manipulation going on.
The Little Tonopah, Golden Anchor,
Pittsburg, MacNamara, Golden Gate,
New York, Ohio-Tonopah Extension,
Humboldt Tonopah, Cash Boy, Crown
Point and Nevada Goldfields Develop
ment company will all probably enter
the shipping list this year.

Atwood.

L. H. Conley has received from the
Griggs Atwood mining company of At
wood, returns on four samples from
local assayer averaging $198.36. These
samples are from a 50~foot shaft. The
company is installing twenty horse
power gasoline hoist, and active devel-
opment work will be pushed. The COM
pany is also putting the wagon road
from Luning to the camp in shape and
connection will be made by stage with
all trains. This road will be only
twelve miles long and shortens the
stage trip thirty-six miles. The COM
pany also owns the townsite Of Atwood
and plat of the same can be seen and
particulars as to prices, etc., furnished
at the Office of the Tonopah Realty and
Investment company, Fassett & Mason
building.
Tonopah Mining Company.
The Tonopah Mining company has
completed the installation Of its motor
drives for its compressors and is using
air drills in all it's workings, increasing
the progress of its development. many
times. The Mizpah shaft is equipped
with 241-4 and l41-4x18 belt driven
compressor, and the Desert Queen
shaft with 10x12 machine, both In
gersol-Sargeant compressors, giving 8
combined capacity of about 1900 cubic
feet of free air per minute.

Arthur Kunze and wife and S. Wan
dell came in from Death Valley We'd
nesday. Mr.. Kunze and associates own
group of 16 claims IL miles west of
the Lila c. borax mine, that they have
refused offers of six figures for. The
values are in copper. Mr.. Kunze
brought back some speciments that ex-
cited the admiration of prominent min
ng men when exhibited at Pop"
Breen's. why" said Mr.. Kunze,
showing one of them, ''they put such
specimens as these in cabinets in Ari-
zona. Why the Copper Queen of Bis
bee can't show better rock. We have
not alone one ledge but several OF them
and the main body of ore is so feet
wide. Of this feet will average 81
per cent copper and two feet will go "a
per cent. We intend to ship to the
smelter at Ivanpah at once.

There is renewed activity at Lone
Mountain and a great deal of work is
being done in quiet way on many

The TOggery.

Two men are at work on the Toggery
group at Gold Mountain and the shaft,
which is now down IL feet, is in fine
ore. Eighteen inches of it will average
$425 to the ton and the rest of the A.
foot ledge will average between $50
and $40 to the ton. This section of the
rich Gold Mountain district has fine
ledges, showing free gold.

Good progress is being made by Con-
tractor Jennings with the shaft on the
property of the Nevada Goldfelds De-
velopment company at Gold Mountain.
The shaft is being sunk on the ledge,
which is strong one. This corpora
ton is officered by men who stand high
in the business and financial world OF
San Diego, Calf. The company has
holdings in various parts of southern
Nevada, and the Gold Mountain hold
ings are now being developed, con

The Booth.

The talk of the town this week has
been the sensational rise in the price of
Booth stock. The Booth company owns
the ground adjoining the great Red
Top and it is conceded by all that the
Red Top lodges traverse the Booth
ground. This fact has caused the
stock to jump from 15 cents to 80 cents
share. Vice-President Booth went to
Goldfeld Thursday night to start the
sinking of a deep shaft on the property.
1t is the general opinion of those posted
that the Booth stock will be selling al
so cents a share within 80 days.
