The following interesting bits OF in
formation are from the Rhyolite Her
aid:
The Bullfrog Gold Bullion Mining
company has started shaft on the
Kentucky, joining the Steinway on the
west. 1t is expected that 100 feet OF
sinking will be done,
The ore in the Happy Hoolgan has
reached the one hundred dollar average
and the vein is showing corresponding
increase in quantity as well as quality.
A body of tale has been encountered
which is almost the counterpart in
character to the now famous Montgom-
ery-Shoshone ore. The gold values are
of the same richness, but contain very
little silver. This tale body is widening
every foot it is uncovered.
The Gibraltar Estate, situated on the
southerly end of Bonanza mountain, is
certainly developing into safe and
sure proposition. Even the miners
employed there, men who receive but
$3.50 day, are buying the stock, and
55 cents is almost prohibitive price
for the workingman.

ToNoPAH BONANZA:
The Golden Arrow mining district, in
which Capt. Cotter's property and also
the Page Bros. property is located, is
situated seven miles south of Cliffords
and xteen miles northwest of Silver
Bow. At present the mineral belt of
this district is about four miles north
and south by two miles east and west.
The veins or ledges of this district are
a vast network crossing and recrossing
each other and running in every direc-
ton. The Page ledge seems to be the
mother lode of this district. 1t is on a
contact between an altered andesite
and a rhyolite formation. 1t has a
northeast-southwes course with a
slight dip to the east. 1t cuts the for
nation like pair of shears and can be
traced for more than G, 6,000ifeet. Every
where it has been crosscut or opened
up values are being found. These vary
from only few dollars to up into the
hundreds per ton.
The Page Bros, twoideaf and dumb
boys, first discovered this ledge last
August and located three claims on it.
They did the necessary location work
and then sank twenty foot hole on
one of the claims. They opened up a
true fissure vein in the bottom Of the
shaft four feet wide averaging $120 per
ton. Upon that showing they solo
the three claims to Eltman and Scott
for $45, 900.
Irving and Myer have lease No. ! OF
the Page ledge and are down 30 feet
They have four and one-haR feet o.
ore that will average $89 per ton anC
contemplate making shipment as sooi
as reasonable freight rates can b,
arranged.
Harrington and King have leases No

25 feet. They have four and one-hal
feet of high grade shipping ore tina
will pan free gold. The ore increase
in richness as they go down and phe
nomenal values are expected.
Bluett and Watson have commence
sinking on The Little Pete. The
are down about Is feet and have !
inches of high grade shipping ore. The
have ordered ore bags and will con
mence sacking ore for shipment as SOC
as the bags can be obtained. The

Gold Mountain.

VIM. AISLE M. E. and G. Gardner of
Los Angeles, accompanied by j. G.
Waibei, arrived here Wednesday from
the City of Angels to inspect Mr.. Wal
bells property at Gold Reef in the Gold
Mountain district. The gentlemen were
surprised at the wonderful showing.
They traced the main ledge on the Bes-
sic, Louise and Brink claims belonging
to Mr.. Waibel. They also visited the
Toggery group of James Grimes and
panned gold from the surface. They
took samples from the ledge on the
Toggery and had assays made. The
returns were as follows: From the
surface, $62 to the ton; from depth
of 8 feet, $256; from 6 feet, 1915, and
from 8 feet, $425. The ledge is four
feet wide at depth of feet. Before
returning home Messrs. Eassie and
Gardner will visit Manhattan, Clifford,
Silver Bow and Golden Arrow in com
pany with Mr.. Waibel.
The Tonopah Gold Mountain Mining
Company made another splendid ship
ment of ore this week. The compan,
has an excellent property and its stool
should be in great demand.

The Denver.

The Denver is still in the rich high
grade ore that has heretofore been re-
ported. Sacking continues at the rate
of over 1000 pounds a day. There
have been no sensational Developments
within the last few days, except that
yesterday the rich vein seemed to be a
trifie better and nearly all of the rock
broken was sacked, says the Bullfrog
Miner.
Drifting is still being done on high
grade in the third level, the breast of
which is 80 feet beyond the winze, or
324 feet from daylight.
The fourth level, being driven on a
small angle with the vein, is in 40 feet.
Soon a slight turn will be made and the
vein will be tapped at about rs feet.
The assay Office is up and all is in
readiness for Supt Darcy to fire up,
which he will do this afternoon.
This is the property that Senator
Oddie Of Tonopah is heavily interested
in. 1t is certainly rich mine.
f. l.. Ransom of the United States
geological survey, who has just in
spected the underground workings of
the Denver, says that the main vein on
the property is true fissure.
DiamOndtield.
Ralph Wardle, manager of the Dia-

of Diamondfeld, one of the best mines
in that section, was a visitor in town
this week. He returned to the camp
today. Mr.. Wardle says the mine is
looking fine and the shaft on the new
strike is down 80 feet. They are fol.

are taken after every round Of shots,
Indicate that the values as previously
reported are holding out as depth is
gained. When the 100 foot level is
reached, crosscutting and drifting will
be done. Sinking beyond that depth
will not be resumed until the hoist,
which has been ordered, is installed.

w. H. Lilies and w. Nealman, who
have been doing the annual assessment
work on the Yellow Jacket property at
Lone Mountain, came in Thursday and
returned to the camp today. He says
that the main shaft is now down so
feet and the men are now prosecuting
east and will undoubtedly cut the ledge
within the next 35 feet. The ledge
outcropped on the surface and gave
values of nearly $3.50. When the ledge
is cut at depth of so feet the values
should be well up in the hundreds.

Hanapall.

Frank B. Work, manager of the
Hanapah mines, was in town this week.
He says excellent progress is being
made with the shaft which will reach
the S0O-foot mark by Monday next. A
station will then be established and
prosecuting to tap the vein commenced.
Mr.. Work estimates that the crossut
will only have to be run about rs feet
to tap the vein. This work win not
take more than fifteen days and at the
end of that time, the Hanapah will un-
doubtedly become a producer of high
grade shipping ore.

4 Waterbury Citizen Wants Everybody to Know
 of His Wonderful Cure.

The business man in his hurry to get about will not masticate his food properly. He will bolt it, so to speak.
 REMEMBER that the stomach will stand only so much bad treat ment. It will rebel itself by refusal to digest after a while. This means distress and pain in the stomach, gases, general discomfort and bad headaches. You can prevent this condition to become chronic by time ly treatment with Dr Richards's Dys- pepsia Tablets, whose reputation is to cure dyspepsia and all other stom- ach and bowel disturbances.
 MT w. H. Bergin of ASA East Main street, Waterbury, Conn, says:
 "I have been cured of bad case of indigestion and l feel as if it was my duty to let the world know that I have been cured. I was subject to vomiting and sick headaches for years, and my general health was be- coming very much impaired. l was induced to purchase bottle of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets at Apothecaries' Hall and began to gain and feel better before it was half gone. am now on my fifth and last bottle of this grand remedy, for I don't think it will be necessary for me to take any more as l feel that I am entirely cured.

ARMENIANs IN AMERICA.
A Big Percentage of Voters. Who
 Make Excellent Citizens.

It is asserted that in proportion to their numbers here the Armenians have more voters than any other na- tionality among our immigrants. It is said that there are 50.000 Arme- nians in the country and that 35,000 of them are voters.
 This being the case, it has been asked whether they form desirable from which to recruit citizens. In reply Dr Andrew White is quoted by Armenia as saying:
 ! Tt is one of the finest races in the world-physically. morally and in- l tellectually. If I were asked to name the most desirable races to be added by immigration to the Ameri- can population, I would name among the very first the Armenians." The most correct electric meter is said to have been the invention of an Armenian. It may be surprising to know that the green color of the American bank notes was in vented by an Armenian youth years ago.
 As they are merchants and have established themselves in the busi- ness centers of the country. so they are a people of learning and number scores of skillful physicians. dentists. land theologians throughout the States.
 It is interesting to notice that while American missionary societie send missionaries among the Arme- nians. there are seventeen ordained ministers of Armenian birth in this country laboring in American churches. preaching the Gospel to Americans.
 An Armenian. Haig Pat,gion. of Fresno. was the winner in the Me- finley monument contest, and it was only the other day that another young artist. l.. D. Yaconbion. capt ured the highest prize (s2.000D at Yale among hundreds of native scholars.
 The Armenians in this country publish fourteen periodicals in thei- own language. chiefly in Boston. New York and California. Wherever they go they establish libraries and read ing rooms. If you go to any public library the librarian will tell you that the Armenians attend that in- stitution. too. more regularly and draw more books from 1t proportion ately than any other class.
