Mr.. Frank A. Elliott, formerly

enthusiastic over the Horseshoe pro-
perty at Bethlehem, from which a

Regarding the fact Mr.. Elliott said,
I'VE brought in Sunday by freight
a shipment of a ton and a half,
which is the first from the mine,
and sent it to Millers Monday NOR

$500 to the ton We expect to ship
more from time to time, in fact, we
have another ton ready and will send
it through as soon as we can get

Mining NEVADA
IS A WONDER
Bullion Tax Collector Neven Says
State to Become Greatest in
the Union

That the mining interests of Neva-
da are booming is confirmed by Mr..
j. H. Neven, State Bulletin Tax Col
lector who is now in Tonopah Mr.
Neven rs well known in Tonopah and
the news he brings will be most ac-
ceptable to his numerous friends. In
an interview with a representative Of
the Bonanza Mr.. Neven said: For
the quarter just closed the output
of mining Nevada is by far the
greatest in the State since the days
of the famous Comstock The net
output, that upon which taxes are
paid, has been at the rate of $1,000
600 monthly, and too this has come
chiefly from four counties. The Mo-
hawk is wonderful and when you
can take ore directly from the
ground to a bank vault it is pretty
high grade. The mines of the entire
State are in remarkably fine shape.
The new districts are most promis-
ing. At Ramsey, Fairview, White
horse and Searchlight, the mining
is entirely legitimate and it is only
a question of a short time before
these sections will be heavy shippers.
There is absolutely no question as to
their making good The outlook for
next year in the Safe is the brightest
yet, in fact Nevada is destined to
become the greatest gold and silver
State in the Union.
Owing to the disposition of the
mine owners in Tonopah to pay
promptly and willingly the bullion
tax which is an old and just law,
the tax in Nye county has been re-
duced from $4S5 hundred to
$3.50. AS soon as the Indebtedness
of Esmeralda county is cleared up
a reduction is contemplated in that
county. We expect great results
from Esmeralda. AT the present
time Tonopah, Goldfield and Yerring.
ton are the heaviest shippers. Al
the present time the State is growing
so fast and so many new camps are
springing up that it is impossible
for the railroads to keep pace with
the growth. | am most enthusiastic
with the conditions in the State and
its citizens have just cause to be
proud. shall probably remain in

r. s. Wolcott, who is staying at

in Phonolite, New, camp, says that
the Silent Friend and the Black
Mule properties are both shipping
propositions, and that ore worth
$500 to $4,000 per ton is being
sacked at both these mines The
values are coming from lodges six
feet wide and upward, which have
yielded from the surface. There are
about 200 men in the camp. The

DENT.

At a recent meeting of the direct
ors Of the Manhattan Pine Nut Min
ing Company, Jim Butler, the father
of Tonopah and the mascot of Neva-

to the office of vice-president of the
company, the balance of the officers
remaining the same-B. L. Smith,
president and F. NJ Benedict, secre-
tary. f. II. Carbtree was appointed
general manager. There can be no
question that the directorate of this
fine Manhattan property has been
materially strengthened by Mr.. Nut
ler's election.
The directors have made no mis-
take in securing the services of Mr.
Crabtree, who is also manager for
the Crizaba Mining Company, near
Cloverdale, and was formerly con-
neeted with some of the largest and
best mining properties of California
and Montana.
The development has been in pro-
gress on the Pine Nut for the past

pushed ahead and with substantial
treasury which still remains the COM
pany is in a first class condition f.

Che stock would make one believe
someone has "hunch," it closing

The property is equipped with a

TO SEARCH FOR LOST GOLD.
americans Get Concessions From
Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 29.-B. f.
Richardson, a capitalist of Pennsyl-
vania, and C. w. Johnson a Delaware
man, have secured from the Mexican
government "a concession for the re-
covery of the gold that still remains
in the hull of the Golden Gate, the
American ship that was beached on
the coast of Colima, a short distance
from Manzanilla, in the winter of
1862. Mr.. Richardson is now in
this city. Mr.. Johnson recently left
San Francisco for the scene of the
wreck accompanied by divers and
other assistants.
The Golden Gate was on the way
from San Francisco to New York and
carried nearly $1,500,000 in gold
coin destined for New York banks
While heading toward Manzanillo,
fire broke out aboard the. vessel and
in an attempt to save the passen-
gers, the ship was run ashore. How
ever, nearly 200 persons were either
burned to death or drowned OF the
amount aboard the ship, between
100000 and 100000, was recover
ed some time later. 1t is believed
that there still exists in the hulk of
the vessel ,at least 100000 in gold.

in the way of developing some of
the copper ground. This lode can
be traced ON the surface for a dis
tance of over seven miles and from
many prospect holes ore that runs
high in the red metal has been ex-
tracteI. Some of the best ore from
this district was taken out of what
was formerly known as the Bob Mat
hews' claim. This ore was shipped
and gave returns of over sixty per
cent copper and carried good gold
and silver values. This property is

FAMOUS OLD MINE TO RESUME.

The old Chispa mine now known
as the Congress, at Johnnie, in
which Bob Montgomery, the partner
of Chas. NJ Schwab, is said to have
made his stake, will soon resume
operations and J. j. Fairchild, the
new superintendent, has just arrived
and will take charge. He is now
gathering crew for that purpose.
He said that within a month he ex-
pected to have dozen men at work.
The main shaft of the mine is
down $50 feet in good milling ore
and considerable work had been
done in the property before work
was stopped in the early part of the
year. For a long time this had been
producer and has turned out over
a hundred thousand in bullion but
last spring the mill building burned
to the ground and since then it has
practically been abandoned. A short
time ago northern Nevada men, such
as George Bartlett, James L. Butler
and Charles Knox, Of Tonopah, and
Frank NJ. Ish, OF Goldfield, acquired
the mine and ever since then they
have been viewing it with an eye to
re-opening the property.
The mine is equipped with gal
lows frame and hoist, an assay office
blacksmith shop and bunk house.
Men are now at work cleaning out
the slopes and it is expected that
