CLIFFORD
SALE CLOSED
This Rich Property Passes
to Pittsbup9 Parties

countered at depth of only five feet.
Good Mornings were obtained and the
ledge is about two feet wide. This
lease is on the south side of the hill.
The late Frank ''Ganahl and G. L. King
had shaft down 50 feet on their lease,
at the time Of the cold-blooded murder
of the former. They had encountered
both walls of a ledge two and half
feet in width, in which were small seams
of tale which are considered splendid
indication of rich ledge. The forma-
tion in the surrounding country shows
that there is an extensive mineral belt
in the Clifford district, with the Clifford
hill in the center. The many porphyry
and rhyolite groupings show that more
strikes will certainly be made in the
near future in the district. There are
seven different places on the hill in
which ore of more or less value has
been uncovered with lots of coarse
gold and ruby and horn silver.
The shooting of Frank Ganahl and
George A. Cole, two of the most be-
loved members of the Clifford local
Miners union, caused great indigna-
ton and the murderer, Hennessy, was
fortunate in escaping with his life. At
a meeting Of Clifford local Miners
union last Sunday evening resolutions
were adopted thanking the Tonopah
Miners union. Walter Fancher, G. M.
Meyer, John Mayer and Chas. Meyers

Ioldheld Bank and Trust company,
which was heavily interested in Ida
mines. A company has obtained an
option on the Florida mine and has
started to free the shaft of water.
This is a splendid property and if prop

The sale of the Clifford property for
$3.50, 900, as mentioned in last Satur-
days BONANZA, was completed in Pitts

40 to so tons day capacity on or near
the property, in the very near future, "
said Mr.. McCambridge to a BONANZA
representative yesterday.
As there is plenty of water at both
Stone Cabin and Hot Springs, it is
probable that the mill will be located
OF one Of those places. They are each
about 8 miles from Clifford.

Clifford last Saturday and was surprised
to find camp of such richness and
magnitude. There are about 100 per.
