The Konrohat mine which is now
under bond for $3.50, 900 and on which
substantial first payment has been
made, comprises 16 claims which carry
excellent values in horn silver and gold
and the rock is readily amenable to
amalgamation by first roasting it. The
new owners contemplate erecting
plant Of that character at the mine.
Konrohat located lthe claims 33 years
ago ago and since that time has each
year performed the requisite amount
of work to hold them intact He has
likewise performed a vast amount Of
development work and has sdone so
practically alone and unaided. In
winters chill and summers heat he has
labored steadfastly and now at the age
of 60 is about to reap the benefits of his
perseverance. During the long years
which have passed since first he drove
his location stakes on the property his
beard and hair have whitened beneath
the hoary hand of time, but he still re-
tains the verility of youth and looks
forward with all the enthusiasm of a
boy to the enjoyment of the wealth so
long delayed. In the interval that has
elapsed since he entered the canyon a
man Of 27 years, he has opened up the
estate by almost numberless prospects
and deeper shafts, has driven a tunnel
distance of over 500 feet on a ledge
and from the main ledge has run out
many crosscuts. By these means he
has demonstrated the fact that there
are hundreds of thousands of tons of
ore in sight in the property and that it
is easily worth the price he has bonded
/ it. Konrohat is a typical prospector of
Nevada s bonanza silver age. Straight
as an arrow, agile as boy Of twenty
he makes a striking picture with his
snow white hair and beard, and withal
is about as fine specimen of manhood
as one is likely to meet with during
this earthly pilgrimage. His honesty
and integrity are as sterling as the
metal he has mined for all these years,
and his character is as rugged and IN
assailable as the eternal hills among
which he lives. Hundreds oil pros
pectors have shared the frugal fare Of
his hospitable board, and now that he
has made his ''winnin" there are none
but wish him many years of enjoyment
Of his ''pile.
, Eureka T0nopah.
( Good progress has been made in sink
ing the shaft of the Eureka Tonopah
S the past week. The shaft has now
r reached depth Of 100 feet. AT a depth
: of Ids feet the formation changed to
: highly mineralized porphyty heavily
e charged with yellow and green chlor-
S ides and red oxide Of iron; shot through
r this formation are boulders of quartz
having the same character that the
stringers cut in the shaft while sink
ing. Assays taken from these quartz
boulders give values of S400 per ton.
! Sinking will continue until depth of
: 200 feet has been reached, at which
time crosscutting will commence. The
Eureka Tonopah property is located just
south Of Tonopah to the left of the
Gold Mountain road and covers part of
the old Indiana Tonopah ground.
: Round Mountain.
Jack Wardell came in from Rounc
mountain Wednesday and says there is
no better section in Nevada, as far al
u mineral is concerned. He says thai
u whenever the ledge is opened up OF
d the Gordon ground it shows sensational
values. The Rogers and Morasse,
ground is proving wonder.
