cALrroRN1A-roNoPAH

The California-Tonopah is pushing de-
velopment work with two shifts in the
south crosscut from the 400-foot station,
and a progress of about 80 feet a week
is being made. No particular change
in the formation has occurred since last
report.

THE NEW YORK ToNoPAH

The north crosscut on the S00-level
of the New York Tonopah is out 173
feet, and the south crosscut on the same
level is out 30 feet. The face of the
north crosscut shows some improve
ment, the formation being considerably
harder than last week. The machinery
was overhauled this week, and the hoist
ing plant is now running smoothly and
good progress is being made. Work at
the New York is being watched with
great interest.

THE MUNHALL roNoPAH

The Munhall Tonopah Mining COM
pany which recently took over the
group of five claims formerly owned by
the Commodore Mining company and
situated about a mile and a half north
of the Montana-Tonopah, this week re-
ceived its new steam hosting plant. and
as soon as the machinery is installed
will resume development work on this
promising property. When the old Com
modore Mining company suspended OPP
erations about two years ago the shaft
had attained a depth of 25S feet and in
it's course had numerous
stringers of quartz carrying small
values. 1t is the intention of the new
management to sink to the 500-foot
point before prosecuting is begun.

STRIKE ON
THE VEST

The rumors which have been current
during the past month that an import
ont strike had been made in the West
Tonopah have at last crystalized into
an accepted fact, and the Miner feels
justified in announcing at this time that
Developments of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a sensation have recently
occurred in that property. The strike
was made about a month ago in the
Wine that was sunk from the 735-foot
level. The ledge is between s and Z feet
wide and the average values run close
to the $50 mark. For economical rea-
sons, as well as on account of bad air,
work was discontinued in the winze
and a crosscut was started from the
S35-foot station in the shaft to inter-
sect the ledge on that level. 1t is cal
culated that this crosscut will intercept
the ledge about 100 feet from the shaft,
and If the ore shoot is found to be as
large and rich on the s35 level as IT is
at the bottom of the winze, the West
Tonopah will at once take its place
among the big mines of the camp.
The West Tonopah group, which con-
sists of four claims and three fractions.
lies about a half mile west of the Tono-
pah Extension, in a section where the
experts had decreed that no lodges
would be found. The main working
shaft, where the recent strike was made,
Is situated on the Lottery fraction, in
the extreme northwest corner of the
group and a full mile beyond the west
ern limit of the Extension ground. When
this fact and the forebodings of the ex-
perts are taken into consideration, the
significance of the new discovery will
become apparent. 1t means that the
mineral zone of the Tonopah dis
trict is practically doubled, and it opens
up great possibilities to many properties
which have heretofore been closed as
wildcats" by the ultra-conservative.
The Tonopah Great Western, Tonopah
Comstock and Table Mountain prop
critics, particularly, will feel the i'm
petus resulting from proximity AL
ready the Great Western management
has decided to resume operations and
will begin work Monday morning, and
it is probable hat two or three other
companies owning ground in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the West Tonopah
will resume sinking within the next
thirty days.

turpentine has come from North Caro-

been killed. The present source of

south, where the pine forests extend
for miles. Each farm consists of thou
sands of trees, which, though not large
at the base, grow to great height.

end of FIVE or six years II becomes too
