RICH ORE CONTINUES
AT rRAMPs CONSOLIDATED


Connection has been made between
No. 4 tunnel at the Denver OF the Tramp
Consolidated and the drift from the
bottom of the winze. The rich shipping
shoot. heretofore mentioned, has now
been proved on this level for a distance
of about as feet, and the ore will aver
age between 500 and 5000. while picked
stun has gone beyond $500. The pay
streak is from one to two feet in width.
and the entire vein carries encouraging
values.
General Manager Blackmer has
started the drift north, on the rich
shoot, from the bottom of the winze
and will push exploration in this direc-
ton as rapidly as possible. At this
depth, 225 feet, the shoot shows better
values tina in the upper levels. and the
management will lose no time in thor
oughly opening 1T up.
The pay material in the south drift
from the Eclipse tunnel is not only hold
ing it's values but is gaining in richness
with distance.
Operations have been resumed in the
manganese tunnel at the Tramp and
the breast is all in ore. Work had to be
suspended at this point in June, on ac-
count of bad air, but the cooler weather
has made it possible to start up again.
Manager Blackmer has just COM
pleted an up-to-date assay office near
the general offices of the company. Ex-
cellent progress is being made in all
parts of the big property.
Sinking has been resumed from the
No. 4 level at the Tramp Consolidated,
and the drift is being pushed north from
the winze. The depth is now 200 feet
and 1T is the intention of General Man
ager Blackmer to sink some so feet
further before installing hosting ma
chinery. He will knock out a big sta
ton on the No. 4 and put in a 25-horse
power plant, which will supply imme-
date sinking demands. Later, more
powerful machinery for deep sinking
will be installed.
The rich shoot in No. 4, to which ref
erence has been made, still holds in the
north drift and exploration will be
pushed in this direction.

NEWS OF TONOPAH MINES

usual quantity of high grade ore is be-
ing raised, and regular shipments are
going Onward. A progress of about 20
feet a week is being made in the north
and south crosscuts from the S35-foot
station.
MONTANA MIDWAY ExTENsIoN
1t is the intention of the anagement
of the Montana Midway Extension Min
ing company to start crosscuts from the
450-foot point in the shaft at an early
day. A number of quartz stringers have
teen encountered recently in the course
of sir king, and il is believed that an
ore body will be found within a short
distance OF the shaft at the 45O-foot
level. The shaft is situated between
the Midway and the Golden Anchor. and
is in line to catch the Midway ledge.
THE NEW YORK ToNoPAH
The south crosscut from the S00-foot
station in the New York Tonopah is
out 1872 feet, and the north crosscut on
the same level is out ITO feet. No
change in the formation has occurred
since last report. A small stringer of
quartz was cut in the north crosscut
early in the week.
ORE SHIPMENTS
The ore shipments over the Tonopah

LONE STAR

Jack Casey, who has been working on
the Death Valley Ion Star all summer,
is in camp after supplies, and reports
good prospects at that property. The
tunnel is in fifty feet in a quartz ledge,
and Casey estimates that three and one
half feet of it across the face will go
$25 in gold. Prospect work on the Poso
claim, adjoining the Lon Stars Bo-
nanza, has opened a ten-foot ledge which
Casey says horns well and should go
about s12. The incline shaft started on
this ledge is about 1900 feet from the
Lone Star tunnel. Both of these prop
critics are easy of access. and a few days
work would max a wagon road to the
mouth of the tunnel. The recent sale of
the Keane-Wonder, a near neighbor, has
already been noted in the Herald. The
new owners will erect a stamp mill and
the coming fall and winter should see
much activity in that section.

and will undoubtedly have the honor of
making the first shipment over the new
railroad. The ore will run in the neigh
borhood of $3.50. though much of it is
richer. They have secured samples car
rying from 200 to 900 ounces of silver,
5 to 20 per cent copper, 81 to $40 in gold

sible introduction of concentration.
The north drift from the 200-foot
level at the Maylower is in 40 feet. and
the south drift 80 feet. The crosscut
to the foot wall is in 21 feet. All the
workings are in ore which. Superintend-
ent Bob Smith says, will average at
least SIS to the ton.
The new shaft started a short time
ago, 1900 feet from the main workings,
is now down 40 feet. Here is where a
new pay zone was opened. A grab
sample taken at 25 feet gave a return
of SGT, and a similar sample at 40 feet
gave SAL. This working is only o
40 feet from where the Mayfiower ends
on Starlight ground. The ore uncovered
is practically the same in character as
that found in the shaft and its laterals,
but it is rather higher in grade.
NATIONAL BANK
The National Bank has uncovered
some ore which to all appearances will
easily make the $4,000 mark.
A p~anning shown to a Miner repre-
sentative looked this good at a very
conservative estimate. Others have
placed the pan at $4,000 and up. The
gold is very coarse.
The u~ncovering was made at the 200
foot point in the drift north from the
10O-foot level. The sample which
panned so well was taken by ]. M.
Patrick, but the average will run much
lower. A conservative sample of the
pay streak made a few days ago gave
a return of $685.. Practically the same
material appears at the 150-foot point
in the drift from the 22O-foot level.
The shaft is down $50 feet. Stations
were cut at the $50 and lateral work
will be started from this point at once.
THE STARLIGHT
Tunnel No. 2 at the Starlight, started
recently 40 feet from the Mayf1ower end
lines, is in 80 feet and AZ feet of this
distance is in ore which will average be-
tween $12 and SIS. The tunnel is cross
cutting the Mayiower vein and there is
practically no difference etwee the ore
found here and in the Mayfower.

YANKEE GIRL

The shaft on the Yankee Girl Is down
31S feet, with a drift started from the
300-foot level, in which they hope to
cut the National Bank manganese vein
within 100 feet. In a few days they
will start a drift to the east, expecting
to encounter the basalt dyke of the Ma
tional Bank. They are now in a hard
formation carrying very mall values,
which are not expected to increase very
much until the veins mentioned are
reached.

and about 1900 gallons of water is
taken out daily. The Wine is IS feet
below the tunnel level. They are drift

bottom of the shaft. AS soon as the
railway gets into the district, they will
install a hoist on the shaft and sink
deeper.

NEW SHAFT FOE HoMEsrAKE

The Homestake is to start a big work

hill to the north of their old workings.
Preliminary work will begin in a few
days. The new shaft will be at the
bend in the road near the Gold King and
Daisy properties. A new hoist will also
be installed of not less than forty-horse
power. The one now in use is only fif-
teen-horse power.

wEsr END AND McNAMARA

Work on the ore-bins for the West
End and Mcnamara at the Mcnamara
dump is progressing rapidly. and the
structure will be completed by the time
the rails of the spur track are laid.
There has been some delay in this lat
ter work on account of the congested
condition of traffic on the Tonopah rail-
road during the past fortnight, but 1t is
expected that the track will be COM
pleted by the latter part of next week.
No new developments are reported from
the mines, but the usual quantity of
shipping ore is being raised from both
shafts. The West End sent forty tons
to the smelter early in the week.
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
General Manager Mark B. Kerr of
the Montana-Tonopah left this week on
a flying trip to Salt Lake City and San
Francisco. on business connected with
the construction of the new forty-stamp
mill. There has been an unexpected de-
lay in receiving bids from the machin-
cry firms who were requested to submit
figures. and 1t is probable that the bids
will not all be in before the 18th inst.
In the meantime work is progressing
rapidly on the excavation for the foun-
dation and in blocking put the ore bodies

DAISY oEE GEoWs
BETTER WITH DEPTH
The strike recently reported at the
Daisy is rapidly increasing in magni-
tude and importance. The high grade
ore first encountered in the shaft, as
mentioned, has turned into the sulphide
form, and now the entire bottom of the
shaft is this pay material. An average
of the width, made a day or so ago. ran

ton in gold. Returns from selected speci-
mems go into fancy figures. According
to all accounts, the situation is ex-
tremely encouraging and the mineral
condition at the property is growing
better steadily with depth.
RED FOX
Quartz taken from the hanging wall
at the Red Fox gave al assay return
this week of $40.
The pay material was first encoun-
tered at 1875 In the crosscut. Here ex-
cellent vaues were encountered. The
vein shows about 10 feet in width.
with values running as high as 1878 in
gold to the ton. The entire width re-
turns exceedingly good milling aver
ages, while there is an eight-inch tense
on the hanging wall which goes very
high.
A station has been cut on the south
side of the mine at the 135-foot point
in the crosscut, and 1t is the urpose of
the management to begin sinking from
this level on Tx vein, which dips at an
angle of As degrees into the mountain.
The vein material is in the main quartz,
with some tale. The present breast
gives a depth of about rs feet. The
crosscut is being pushed ahead for a
