Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-08-04

Bryce Turner, fromerly the efficient
superintendent of the Tonopah Mining
company, and well known here, but
who is now manager for the Mont
gomery Shoshone Consolidated Mining
company, in the Bullfrog district,
spent a few days in Tonopah this
week, arriving last Sunday. He says
that conditions at the camp are fine,
superfine, superb! The mining COM
panies are all blocking out ore and
doing development work while await
ing the arrival of the railroad which is
now within Is miles of the Bullfrog
district, although the grading has al
ready been completed to Beatty and
the graders are now working between
the towns of Beatty and Rhyolite.
Several of the mining companies in the
Bullfrog district are contemplating
putting up mills for the treatment of
low grade ores, while the high grade
will be shipped to the smelter. Mr..
Turner says that it has been definitely
settled beyond doubt, that 100
stamp mill will be erected on the
Montgomery Shoshone and that the
site selected for it will be between the
shaft of the Polaris and the Shoshone.
This mill will be built in such manner
that additional stamps may be added
as exigencies demand. Water is plent-
iful in the district for all milling pur-
poses and crude oil will be used for
generating steam for power. 1t is
possible that cyanide plant will also
1 be installed. A compressor for operat.
ing drills will also be put in.
Recent experiments made with the
ore of this mine in Denver have, it is

gravel. The raise the first day was 60
feet and the next 100 feet. The water
is excellent for drinking purposes and
remarkably free from alkali.
The Bowler lease is wonder and
during the past week two strikes were
made in different parts of the mine,
both showing streaks of free gold
running through the white quartz No
attempt was made at assaying as the
rock was considered too valuable and
the figures would seem incredible. The
first strike was made in shaft No. 3
and after some of the rock had been
knocked out the free gold could be seen
in streaks in the face of the ledge.
The second strike was made in the old
producer, No. l shaft, which gave the
first indications thas this would prove
a bonanza field The east drift from
the 40 level was advanced six feet and
in the end the ledge widened out to
about four feet, part of which is
bonanza rock. Bowler has about 20
tons ready which is being hauled to the
railroad for shipment to the smelter al
Murray.
The Browne lease is getting so rich
that had it not been for the remarkable
values in the Bowler lease it woulC
easily have created sensation. Opera
tions are still confined to No. shat

well rewarded for their temerity for at
point about IL miles east of Walker
Lake they were delighted with the
sight of country ribbed in all direc-

since given assays of $40 to $50. They

Once they got into touch again with
the railroad and civilization, it was not
long before other treasurer hunters got
wind of the new Eldorado that Wilson
had alighted upon. Once the rush was
started; it grew like snow ball, anc
as stated above, there are 100 people
on the ground and more are flocking in
daily. The influx is facilitated by the
proximity of the new strike to the rail
road which is only IL miles away
This is feature, too which augers wei
for the success of the camp as a ship
per, for the cost of ore transportation
from mine to smelter will be very
light indeed. Though the surrounding
country may be barren and desert, tn,
history of Southern Nevada has al
ready proven that such obstacles ar,
no drawback to the growth of towl
if rich ore is to be found in the vicinity
So quickly has the new camp grow
that there is already talk of laying ou
townsite, even before the camp has
name.

Valuable Mines in Litigation

The case entitled Nash VS.. McNa-
mara was in progress in the district
court before Judge Breen during the
week. This suit involves the title to
most of what is known as Litigation
hill in the Manhattan district, a valu-
able piece of property. The case is a
very intricate one, it would seem, but
the principal point at issue as we un-
derstand it is, during the 80 days that
is allowed by law to perfect location
title, can another person legally file a
location on the same ground.
Last Wednesday the plaintiffs
motion for judgment on the pleadings,
over which there was much contention,
was denied by the court and the case
will go to trial. Judge Breen went to
Manhattan Wednesday to look over the
grounds in dispute in order to secure a
clear understanding of the lay of the
country etc. which will be of material
assistance to him in the progress of
the case.

SENATOR DRYDEN REPLIES.
Denies Thar He Gave Out GarbIed Re-
ports of Hillery-Colby Meeting.


Senator John f. Dryden on Monday
administered lashing to State Sena-
tor Everett Colby in letter sent in
response to the latter's last week, which
charged Senator DRYDEN with having
issued garbled " stenographic rec
ord Of the Hillery-CO!by debates in
Morris county.
Senator Dryden says that towing to
the manner OF presenting Senator Col
by's letter to the press he would be
justified In not making reply. but as
such a course might be miSinterpreted
he does make answer. The Colby let
ter was given out to the press last Fri
day before Senator Dryden could have
received Ii.
Mr.. Dryden says that not only did
he not give out the garbled steno-
graphic report, but he knew abs0-
lutely nothing about it.
Furthermore, he says. he doubts that
such a copy was sent out, and chal-
lenges Senator Colby to produce even
one copy Of the alleged report.
Mr.. Dryden says Mr.. Colby may have
acted IN this matter, as in previous
productions, on the strength Of mat
ters concerning which he had been
Uniformed.
He refers to Mr.. Colby's education
in college and law school to his ex-
perience in Wall Street and In the
Legislature, and goes on to say that
such man should haye education
enough not to be the mini0n of boss
es in the Legislature, as Mr.. Colby
confessed he was.
In this connection Mr.. Dryden
charges Mr. Colby with having violat-
ed the oath Of Office he tdok as a mem
Der Of the Assembly.
Mr.. Knight, the stenographef, also
publishes letter Ia which he denil IS
that Rarbied report was made.

The Lauter Player
piano can be the means
Of educating the whole
family TO an apprecia-
ton Oh the highest
forms of music.

Something like a year ago we sold
a Lauter Playerpiano to a well-known
Newarker with a young family. At
the time Of purchase this customer
deplored the absence Of musical taste
III his home, and told us that he be-
lieved he could improve things BY
having the playerpiano in the house.
Quite recently we talked at some
length with this gentleman, and he
expressed himself as delighted with
the result Of his experiment. He
stated that whereas with the old piano
the only music that was heard in his
home was poorly played popular trash,
with the playerpiano the family had
practically eliminated rag music, and
now appreciated, and took delight IN,
the musical compositions of the mas
tiers. sit is gratifying, said he, ITO
find my young people actually play
ing for themselves, and playing well,
Mendelssohn, Chaminade, Mozart,
Sullivan and many other really worthy
composers"
All this is quite possible in any
home where there is a Lauter Player
piano. The reason is obvious. With
a piano Of the usual type really serious
playing for the great majority is out
Of the question. With the Lauter
Playerpiano anyone can play, and play
with expression and feeling any COM
position be it classical, popular, dance
or vocal that he may like. The
drudgery Of practice becomes unneces-
sary, for with the aid Of music-roll
and treadles the literature Of music be-
comes an open book to all.
The Lauter Playerpiano is not
only piano for playing with the as
sistance of the player mechanism, but
it can also be played by hand in the
regular way. 1t is really TWO
PIANOS IN ONE.

Tenn.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. e0.-Mrs. Marshall
Baker, a prominent society woman of
Webster Groves, superseded the street
commissioner of that town temporarily
and personally "bossed" a gang of men.
She paid for the time of the men and the
material used in repairing a street cross
ing at Lockwood and Gore avenues, for
the benefit of the Webster Groves Pres
5yterian Church. in which Mrs. Baker Is
a prominent worker.
The crossing leading to the church was
considerably sunken. because of the
heavy traffic at that point. Mrs. Baker
conceived the idea OF having the stone
crossing elevated so wOrshipers could
enter the church with less mud on their
shoes.
She address. ed a letter to Alderman Gil

the defective crossing, and the alderman
turned the letter over to Street Commits.

Urley was charged. with two others,
