POOR BASE WORK.

New London, Conn, June 30-New London made enough hits of Hess in the game yesterday to tally dozen runs, but miserable work on bases and the element of luck favoring Hess in tight spots gave the Ponies a 6 to 5 win. For an extremely hot day there avs hitting sufficient to make any tired man bestir himself.
 Two-baggers and singles were rip ped of as though neither pitcher had anything but straight ball and while the players were disinclined to move faster than a walk, they were compelled to hustle because of the walloping incident to nearly every h. ming.
 n the grandstand loyal group of Springfield people, stopping at nearby shore resorts. did a good job of root ing throughout. An unfortunate incl dent was the injury of Catcher O'Con- nor in the sixth inning when foul tip smashed finger.
 The Pony infield was better than it ever showed here this season, for Nichols at short. while not an Altiezr showed himself a steady and fast player, and what billiard lacks in knowledge of playing third he makes up for with the stick, his free hitting style being the nearest imitation of Claud Rossman seen since the former Holyoke player moved into faster company.
 The score:
 Springfield 2001 111O0 1-6 92 \ London OOH 101 0-5 15 2

ZANZIBAR MINES
AT MANAATTHN

In the property of the Zanzibar Min
ing company at Manhattan the largest
assays in gold, according to late re-
port are "a ounces in gold to the ton
and 81 in silver. The company is driv-
ing long tunnel into the mountain
upon which the property rests under
the personal supervision of Manager
Shockley, and a distance of 22O feet has
been reached to date. 1t will be neces-
sary to extend this tunnel to 400 feet
before the main vein of the property is
tapped. In driving the distance already
reached several good lodges have beer
cut, adding not little to the milling
ore resources of the company. Manhat-
tan is becoming known in its true char.
acter. During its first days it was
called and exploited as high-gradt
proposition. Fortunately, however, fol
the future of the district, developments
have established the fact that the re.
gion is high-grade milling camp, anC
while results will be slower in coming
for the investor they will be greater
and more permanent in character. II
is such properties as the Zanzibar that
are adding great weight to the fame Of
the district by doing telling and perma
nent development work upon their pos
sessions.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
CENTRAL COMPANY

Arrangements are being made for the
immediate development of the property
of the Round Mountain Central COM
pany, owners of the shot No. /, Shot
No. and Shot Fraction claims in the
Round Mountain country. They are in
the immediate vicinity of the famous
Antelope and the no less celebrated
Daisy Fraction, the Edith, the Fairview
and the Sunnyside, all of which are
producing high-class gold-bearing ere,
says the News. A number of lessees
are already at work on the property
and are prosecuting development work
with satisfactory results. Penick and
Hart are working in a seam of ore
which carries an exclusively rich gold
contents and are following itdown with
shaft. Alongside of the streak Of
bonanza there is large body of milling
ore, the dimensions of which have moi
as yet been fully determined.

MORE PURE
GOLD FOUND

Development work on the phenomen-
ally rich vein on the Copenhagen claim
of the Mustang Extension Mining Com
pany of Manhattan has been prosecuted
vigorously since itsaccidental discovery
last month, and at the present time it
is opened up for so feet on the surface
and for depth of 65 feet. The vein
which is in slate and quartz contact
is well defined and the values are hold
ing we'll with depth. T. A. A. Sieg-
friedt, president of the company, on
Tuesday last, brought in from the prop
erty, bunch of the richest gold ore
that we have ever seen taken from the
Manhattan district. These specimens
which are nearly solid gold vary in
weight from soz to over 5ozs. On Mon
day last at 5:45 a. m. the foreman who
resides in the company's quarters near
the scene of the sensational discovery,
discovered woman "high-grading" in
the surface trenches where the rich
vein is exposed and since that time, has
bad rifle at hand. The company Is
also sinking a working shaft on the
trend of the Union No. 8 ledge and ex.
pect within the near future to have Q
new strike to report.

The Pittsburg Manhattan

Pittsburg Manhattan Mining company
is driving a new tunnel on their prop
erty In the South Manhattan district.
Work was commenced on Thursday and
it is proposed to open up one of the
largest mines in Manhattan. Several
well-deined lodges are known to be on
this property, carrying high values in
gold and silver.
Mr.. Sanford, of Oakland, Calf, Mr..
Minard, of New York, Mr.. Hauer, of
Pittsburg and Mr. Stanley, of Michigan,
have just returned from a visit to this
and other Manhattan properties, and
all speak very highly of the recent de.
velopments made, it being the firm be-
lief of these gentlemen that Manhattan
is the best camp in Nevada.
1t is rumored that mill will be
erected on this property to mill the ore
in the near future, which will undoubt.
edly add great deal to the present
value of the property, putting it in 9
position to work all the ores on the
property and eliminating a big outlay
of money for transportation to smelt,
ers. The management of this com
pany will also make some new develop
ments shortly on their property in Lon'
Mountain district and the future out
look for the company is very encourag
ing.

THE JOHNNIE
MINING DISTRICT

Johnnie is assuming lively appear
ance just about now, since the leasers
have shown desire to work the coun-
try. Every day brings forth its share
of transactions and in some of the
leases startling developments are being
made. At present only high grade is
being taken out, but negotiations are
under way for a mill, and it viii be
only short time until the drop of the
stamps will be resounding throughout
the camp. There is some scarcity of
labor here, but as fast as men are
coming into the camp miners are given
work. There is no excuse for an idle
man in Johnnie. Some of the larger
properties are now contracting for men
outside of the camp, for it will be
necessary to import men when they
start in to work.
The Minnie Mae lease is the sensa-
tion of the day, and Fred Bowler, the
original owner of the lease, is receiving
congratulations on every hand. He
made one shipment from his workings
weighing 14,02O pounds which was
bought by the Salt Lake smelter for
1870 per ton. Besides this, he sold a
half interest in his lease to Frank Ben
nett and Robert Atkinson for $12, 500.
The purchasers before buying made a
careful survey of the ground and made
some startling discoveries. Almost in
credible assays were taken, and at one
point across the face of the whole
ledge these four figures were obtained:
$l,084, $1,064, $5S2 and $540. When
these figures were verified the intend
ing purchasers lost no time in opening
negotiations and twice $40, 900 was re-
fused. The ground has two ledges; one
which has received the most develop
ment trends from southwest to north
east while the other one intersects it at
almost right angles. The formation is
a contact of lime and quartzite. The
ore is a dark brown copper-stained
quartz, heavily impregnated with hem
attic of iron, which carries the best
values. The ledge shows a dip Of
about 80 degrees to the north, and at
the start q feet wide, but is widening
with depth. The main shaft is down
35 feet. Another shaft has been started
at the intersection of the ledges. where
some rich values have been obtained.
The Brown lease, located 1000 feet
from the Minnie Mae ground, has beer
taken by Robert Brown, son of Col.
Brown of Cripple Creek fame, and

OPINION OF
TONOPAH, ETC.

Wit J. Sellers broker and mining
man of Detroit, Michigan, in a recent
interview with the New York Com
mercial said in part:
ITO sum up my observations on my
visit to the mines of Tonopah, Gold
field, Bullfrog, Manhattan and other
camps, it appears to me that the value
of number of properties have been
very much underestimated, while there
are others whose possibilities have
been greatly overestimated.
'eThe fact that there are SO many
mines that have made good give every
property reputation without regard
to the realization that each mine has
its own individuality, 50 to speak.
Thus far the big mines have carried
the brunt of proving what the camp is
capable of doing.
'Tonopah is, | believe, the greatest
camp of them all, but it should be
remembered that it has been developed
for the past four years and thus
possesses an advantage not enjoyed by
its younger neighbors. AS matter of
fact, comparisons between the camps
are difficult to make, each one possess
ing characteristics different from the
others. For instance, Tonopah is
essentially higher grade camp than
Bullfrog, yet the latter camp win. !
believe, develop into the largest and
most productive milling camp Of the
United States. Goldfeld, again, is
big camp, but it is inclined to be
pockety.
"At Tonopah the Tonopah Mining
and Tonopah Extension properties are
in class by themselves. The Belmont
company has decided to erect So
stamp mill close to the site where the
big mill for the Tonopah company is
going up. ,.ss 81
t'The Midway, West End and Mac
Namara mines are showing up well,
while the Jim Butler holdings will
eventually prove up to the standard of
the territory near it. The Montana
Tonopah property is valuable one,
but the mine has suffered in the past
by lot Of dead work that seems to
have been instituted in opening it up.
''The Ohio-Tonopah property has
nothing new to show, though stringers
are frequently coming into its shaft
with depth and the outlook is cheerful,

GOV. THROWN FROM HIS HORSE

On Wednesday forenoon as the Fourth
of July procession was forming for the
parade, the horse which Governor
Sparks was riding took an unruly turn
and bucked and plunged at furious
rate, finally succeeding in unseating the
Governor. He fell very heavily on his
back and it was thought at first that he
was seriously hurt. He was taken to
Merchants Hotel where such relief was
given him as his condition required.
After resting while, although yet suf-
fering pain, he expressed his determi-
nation to again mount his animal and
take his place in the parade, as he
would not permit his personal suffering
to mar or in any way interfere with
such a patriotic demonstration. Such an
expression of lofty sentiment from our
chief executive is certainly worthy of
all emulation.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-07-07

started work on the first of July. AS
says of $50 were obtained where the
work commenced and the lease paid
from the very moment work was
started. The quartz crops out on the
surface, so that the ledge can readily
be traced for some distance.
Frank Bennett, who bought an in
terest in the Minnie Mae lease, con-
tracted for strip of ground between
the Brown lease and the Minnie Mae
claim. Bennett thinks he has some of
the best ground in Johnnie as the leases
on both sides of him are producing
shipping ore. The formation in all this
ground is the same and corresponds to
the ore taken out of the workings of
the Johnnie Consolidated Gold Mining
company.
The Bullfrog Johnnie has just been
acquired by syndicate, whose repre-
sentative is now either in San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles gathering supplies
and men for the preparation Of COM
mencing work. He is expected in camp
every day and operations will start on
his arrival. There are two 50-foot
shafts on this property connected by a
drift, and number of open cuts expose
the vein for $50 feet. A 125-foot tun-
mel has been dug, and besides two
other shafts have been sunk-one 40
feet and the other 20 feet. Assays
have been obtained running from $40
to $500, but the low grade ore will
average $50 and the high grade will
average $3.50. The company when it
runs full blast expects to deliver rs tons
daily to the mill, besides making con-
tinual shipments.
The Globe Johnnie, which has been
sold to a San Francisco corporation, is
another company that will soon display
activity. The main shaft is now down
so feet and two 30-foot tunnels have
been driven into the mountain. Be-
sides this number of open cuts and
trenches have been dug on the vein.
The ore as it is taken out of the mine
will average between SIS and $40 while
some high grade has been extracted
running between 500 and $500. The
Bonanza shaft is down 16 feet and from
it some bonanza rock has been taken.
The Johnnie Consolidated Gold Min
ing company is preparing to equip
their property with a .4O-stamp mill;
The company has enough ore blocked
out to keep the mill going for the next
three years, and it is estimated that
there is over $50O,00O in sight. The
main shaft is down 700 feet and drifts
have been run on the ledge every 10C
feet. Only such ore has been taker
out of the mine as has been necessary
in the development of the property anC
this has been thrown on the dump
which now has about 1000 tons of ore
that averages SIS. An assay of tbs
main ledge in one of the drifts in the
lower levels disclosed an assay of $l67
