STANDARD VALUES IMPROVE

Surface paintings as high as $40 and
$50 per ton and assays of better thar
500 to the ton are being obtained for a
distance of $50 feet on the ledge which
passes across the Kosmopogo Fraction
and Bald Eagle claims of the Manhat-
tan Standard Mining company. The vein
is the extension of the one which car
ries such remarkable gold values in the
Tip Top claim of the Seyler-Humphrey
company. The latter corporation is
sinking a shaft on this lead within 200
feet of the end line of the Kosmopogo
Fraction and values are constantly i'm
proving with depth. The two ~lessees on
the Bald Eagle are pushing development
and are obtaining satisfactory results.
General Manager McMasters of the
Manhattan Standard left Golddeld for
the property this week for the purpose
of closing a lease on the Kosmopogo and
two leases on the Aroro. No further
leases win be granted. The company
has purchased a 10. in the town of Man
haitian and is erecting a building 22x24
feet which is to be utilized for Office
purposes. one-half of the structure has
already been rented at $50 per month.

C.. H. Elliott, of the firm of Patrick,
Elliott & Camp, pioneer of Tonopah and
Goldfeld, and one of the best known
operators in Southern Nevada, died at
his home in this city Wednesday
shortly after noon. Mr.. Elliott was
taken i'll the preceding Friday night
with an attack of pneumonia. Monday
his condition showed a marked i'm
provement. but Tuesday night both
lungs became affected and the end came
Wednesday noon.
In Mr.. Elliott's death Goldfeld loses
one of it's most active and influential
men. In the early days of Tonopah, be-
fore Goldield was known, Mr.. Elliott
was an important factor in that camp,
and in Goldield he has since his first
residence here occupied a position as
one of its foremost citizens. He was
born in Indianapolis, Ind, AZ years ago.
He leaves a wife, three boys and two
girls. two of the former being in a mill
tary school at San Mateo

ginning as has also The News, though at times it has taxed the resources IL tn

outuown in a short time a new building erected and adequate equipment, fol
that period, raj added. In a few months the building had to be doubled in sze

RED TOP

trik are so frequent in the Red
Top workings that they create little
comment in camp unless the values ex-
coed the previous high grade record, and
there are limitations to the possibilities
OF even the Red Top. No find of any
particular moment has been made at the
property during the present week, but
the same satisfactory condition of af-
fairs that has prevailed eve since the
date when the mine first entered the pay
zone is still adding to the cash on hand
of the Red Top company and insures
the payment of the 10 cent dividend
every sixty days which was recently
announced by the management.
The bonanza ore opened up the first
week in March at a point about Z feet
south of the big shoot ON the 50-foot
level is increasing in proportions with
development and is maintaining it's gold
grade. The lead is now more than Z
feet wide and $4,000 values are uni
form across 4 inches of 1t. A foot of
the deposit averages better h a $1,000
per ton and the remainder of the vein
pushes the $500 mark closely. The
apex of the shoot has been located at
surface and an upraise has been started
toward grass roots and daylight from
the point where the lead was first
tapped in the 50-foot level
Four feet of $500 ore occupies the at
tention of the miners in the north drift
at the 1~65-foot level and in the south
drift ct the same level the men are
working in $3.50 rock carrying quite a
per cent Of sulphides. Sinking is to be
resumed shortly and the shaft lowered
to the 200-foot point where the lead is
TO again be exploited.

MIDWAY

One of Manhattan's new and promis-
ing promotions is the Manhattan Mid
way Mining company, owning IL claims
in the Manhattan district.
On two OF the claims, the "ondonwa'
and the Thomas" excellent lodges that
pan gold very freely have been opened
up. On the other ten claims upon only
a cursory examination, gold and silver
bearing rock was found. Present in
dications merit the statement that the
Manhattan Midway will be ranked with
The leaders in a short time.
The company is incorporated for
$780, 900 shares. The 10000 shares
that Lave been put in the treasury to
pay for development purposes are now
selling very rapidly.

QUERIES
AND
ANSWERS


@. n. W.. gainesville, o.-No work is
being done on the Goldheld-Tonopan
Consolidated Mines company group. The
ground Is located one mile northwest OF
Dfamondheld and about 5000 feet from
the Great Bend.
q. z. g., Seattle, wash.-Twenty-six
sets of leasers are working on the At
lanta ground, which is admirably locat-
ed. but upon which no ore bodies have
been found. In last weeks issue we an
swered an inquiry regarding the Coming
Nation. We are unable to give you any
information regarding the other com
paniss you ask about.
J. T.. w, San Francisco.-So far as
we know there is no conflict between
the January claim, of the Goidnelo
Mining company and the Combination
Mines company. The January mine Is
one of the best in the district. An aver
age of rs tons of ore are being shipped
daily, and the company contempiates
the erection of a mill in the near future.
The shipping ore runs from 800 up,
some of IL going as high as 1000. The
main shaft is down $50 feet in the sui
phides and. the values are holding up to
those of the upper levels.
II. r., san Diego, Cal.-The Pennsyl-
vania Mining company owns four claims
four miles east OF Goldheld adjoining
the Rochester Goldfeld. We can give
you no information regarding the opera
lions of this company.
]. s.. K, Elkhart, Ind.-We do not give
advice upon stock purchases. We refer
you to our advertising columns for the
names of brokers who are in the mining
stock business.
II. w. g., Rochester, n. Y.-For in
formation regarding the Red Top Extern
sion would refer you to news columns OF

N. J.. p, Omaha, Neb.-We know
nothing of the Goldfeld Mutual.
r. d. Gone, Milan, w. va.-We are not
acquainted with the existence of the

J. Boyd.-we nave frequently an
swered inquiries regarding the Gold
field Adams company. It's stock is sell
ing from 10 to IL cents a share. We
have no data upon the Goldfield Prince
ton compan ourselves and have made
inquiry but none of the operators here
are able to give us any light. There
may be such a company. but it is GER
tain tina it is rot very active in the
development of its property or we would
know of it.
J. e. O., Brooklyn, n. we have
never heard of the Virginia Goldfield
Mines company, owning the Red Shirt"
claim.
]. o., Los Angeles.-The Bullfrog
