GOOD REPORT
CIRAC MINE

F. l.. Manley of West Point, Califor-
mia, identified with the mining interests
on the Mother Lode, came in Sunday
evening, after spending a week in
specting the Cirac mine and the sur
rounding properties with the view Of
reporting to group of mining men by
whom he was commissioned. Mr.. Man
ley and his friends had previously
invested in a small way in the stock of
the Cirac company and the trip was
made to see if the reports made to him
and his friends were facts. Mr.. Man
ley said:
There are such strong claims made
for the merit of the Cirac property
that my friends and myself were in
clined to invest quite sum of money
if we found the claims of the manage
ment to be true and we were willing
to spend few dollars in order to con-
firm to our own satisfaction the reports
made to us. The manager, on my
arrival at Tonopah offered me trans
portation and full powers to inspect the
property thoroughly and / availed my
self of the offer. | can honestly say
that in no particular were the claims
made for this property exaggerated.
They have mine that with the expen-
diture of few thousand dollars ought
to become a dividend payer. A 25-foot
ledge runs through the length of two
full claims which is undoubtedly worth
the consideration of any mining man.
"a cross ledge about two feet wide
at the surface runs the length of one
claim and 300 feet across another and
intersects the 25-foot ledge. Another
cross ledge runs across one claim 600
feet and 300 feet across another and
intersects the 25-foot ledge. Near the
first mentioned cross ledge vertical
shaft has been sunk to depth of 60
feet and will be continued down until it
cuts the ledge. At 80 feet a crosscut
has been run to the ledge tapping it
at depth of 65 feet, and drifts have
been run both ways. The ledge at this
depth is three feet and nine inches wide
and assays from $110 to $40 across the
full width. A 16-inch pay streak
assays from 1915 to $3.50
consider the Cirac one of the best
properties | have ever insnectad anc
shall advise the people who sent me
that they are perfectly safe in invest.
ing in the stock of this company at its
market price of 80 cents per share.
The Hyland property, the Cushing.
Tally, and the 0rizaba will all make
good mines, and | predict that the
Cirac Mining district will make a boon
camp just as soon as the effects of the
recent San Francisco disaster are over
come"

At the Midway mine in this place
development work is going on smoothly
and sinking is in progress at the rate
of 20 feet per week. The shaft has
reached depth of 76O feet at present.
At the 1886 foot mark station will be
cut and north and south crosscuts will
be run. Regular shipments of ore are
being made. A 1OO-horse-power boiler
was received last week and the same is
being put in position for service. 1t
will be in running order in about two
weeks. An acknowledgement, 10

THOS. DOBBINS'
EXAMINATION

Thomas E. Dobbins, who, as stated
in our last issue, was held on charge
of forgery, had his examination before
Judge Brissell last Tuesday. The de-
fendant was represented by L. A. Glib
bons. No evidence was introduced by
the defendant, but his attorney watched
closely and seized upon every technical
point that presented itself. Judge
Brissell bound Dobbins over to appear
for trial before the higher court with
bail fixed at $4,000.

WORK RESUME
TONOPAH EUREKA
Fifty.FOOt Shaft Shows up very
Prominent Results

The Tonopah Eureka Mining and De-
velopment company has announced its
intention to resume work on the ground
owned by the company, which is
located on the westerly edge of the
Tonopah Mining district, and about one
mile due west from the estate of the
West Tonopah, and directly across the
large porphyry dyke, which can be
plainly traced on the surface almost as
far as Lone mountain. The claims of
this company were located in 1903 by
Colby and Shea, two experienced Grip
pie Creek miners, who claimed that the
location was the best to be had as the
Gaping is lighter and development less
expensive than on the interlying
ground east. The Tonopah Eureka
Mining and Development company was
Incorporated in 1903 under the laws Of
Arizona, with 10000 shares of stock,
500, 900 Of which were placed in the
treasury for development work, but
very little stock was sold as the pro-
moters would not sacrifice the stock
and thus injure not only the standing
of this company but of others in the
same locality. The assessment work
has been done with the personal funds
of Messrs. B. ]. Reilly, the famous,
leaser, and Postmaster l.. L. Mushett,
who have also purchased most of the
promotion stock and now hold control.
On the Reno claim they have a 50-foot
shaft which gives such promise that an
option has been taken by local parties
on block of treasury stock which will
net the treasury of the company $15,-
600 for development work, which will
be resumed at an early date. With the
brilliant outlook of the Golden Gate
and West Tonopah properties people
have turned their attention to the ter
ritory west of town and B. j. Reilly,
who has been one of the Southern Ne
vada's most successful mining men, has
predicted that time will tell the tale Of
its richness.

THANKSGIVING
THE SENSATION

At the Thanksgiving mine work is
being rapidly pushed and the ledge has
been opened up for distance of the
whole length of the claim, showing
that the apex is well within the COM
pany's lines. Ore is being taken out of
three different places, one of which
averages for six inches over $3.50 per
ton, and according to the report from
Manhattan this property will soon be
another Consolidated Thanksgiving.
Stock jumped from asked on Monday
to l6 bid and rs asked on Wednesday.
Considerable interest is being mani
Tested by the local brokers in the
Thanksgiving, as was shown by the
strong demand for the stock this week
on the local exchange.

Arrested for Embezzlement

Otto Warnke was arrested last Thurs
day at Bullfrog by Deputy Sheriff Jack
Mcdonald and brought to Jail at Tono-
pah today. His arrest was based up
on advice from the chief of police of
Los Angeles and the charge was the
embezzlement Of $500. Warnke was
formerly well-known grocer of Ala
media, Cal. Disposing Of his business
in Alameda he went to Los Angeles,
where he was made manager of large
mercantile house. It was while in the
employ of that firm that he is said to
have fallen from grace. Many Tono-
pah people know the man well and they
are loath to believe there is anything in
the charge.
