Rhyolite. New, Nov. THE first ore
shipment from the Builfrog district
over the new Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad. recently completed In the
camp. has just been made. 1t consisted
Of a. tons of high grade ore from the
Tramp Consolidated on Bonanza noun
tain. The main part Of the material came
from the Hobo and the rest from the
Denver. The consignment was hauled
to Gold Center and shipped from these
to the shelters at Salt Lake City. No
definite statement can be made as to
the value of the ore, but IL is known to
be very high grade. 1t came from the
company's acreage in the general course
of de velopment, and was shipped rather
to get 1t out of the way than for any In
tention of immediate settlement re-
turns. The high grade material is con-
tinuing to pile up on the dumps and the
company proposes to ship regularly
from this time on.
The shipping stun comes from a
streak in the fourth level of the Denver,
principally. which affords a considerable
stopping area. The shoot has been proved
from the surface to the lower workings,
a distance OF $40 feet. Immediate de-
velopment plans are to open up the
property as rapidly as possibly. Hoist
ing machinery is to be installed at once,
and a big milling plant is contemplated
soon after the first of the year. Sher-
wood Aldrich of Colorado Springs. a d.
rector in the Tramp Consolidated com
pany. arrived here this week. and will
make this his headquarters for some
time to come. looking after the general
management Of the enterprise.
Rhyolite has decided to postpone her
railroad day until some time in April.
The first intention was to hold a cele-
bration early in December, when the
four miles of road between Rhyolite and
Beatty will have been completed, but
this time was deemed by the board of
trade too short to give sufficient adver-
tisement to the occasion and a conclu-
sion with reference to postponement was
reached on this account. In April there
will be three railroad lines into camp
the Las Vegas and Tonopah. the Borax
Smith. and the Goldield-Bullfrog. IT
is planned TO give a grand celebration al
this time, one feature which is being
discussed is a prize fight under the aus
pieces of the Rhyolite Athletic associa-
ton. The association has already of
fered a purse of $4,000 for a finish
fight between Nelson and Hyland.
Another big Greenwater deal has just
been completed by the purchase of the
Black Bird group by a syndicate OF
Tonopah and Greenwater capitalists

among the choicest in the new coppeI
belt. The ledge it is stated. has beer
proved to be not less than 40 feet in
width. with values running as high as
40 per cent in copper with small returns
in gold and silver. A corporation has
