DEVELOPING AT HARTMAN
Camp ON East Side of Kawich Range
Is Improving

TONOPAH, Dec. 14-Reports from
the Hartman district, fifteen miles
from Revevil1e on the east slope OF
the Kawich Range. promise big deveI-
opments in that section soon. 1t is
stated that the Sensel lode. named after
its discoverer. has been traced for 5000
feet and that its values, which are
mostly in gold, have been proved to be
well distributed throughout this length
The Gold Sight Mining Company, which
is operating on portion of this lode.
is said to have explored il TO a depth
of thirty feet with a shaft and at that
point to have crosscut fifteen feet
without having located either wall A
tunnel was then started from a point
low down on the hillside TO tap the
ledge 800 feet below the surface. This
has been driven 200 feet and it is
thought by the manager that it will
penetrate the ore body within the next
100 feet.
According to the latest reports from
the original Manhattan property. that
mine is growing in Importance daily
by reason of the body of ore that has
been proved. At depth OF 100 feet
in the shaft crosscut has been run
into the ledge that was first found at
the sixty y-fve-foot level. The present
width of the ledge has not been de-
termined, according to the latest re-
ports from the mine, but at the sixty
five-foot crosscut It's showed twenty
feet and panned well clear across that
width In the deeper workings the
values are stated to have improved
materially.
Recent arrivals from the Reyeille
district state that the Nevada Smelter
and Mines Corporation is rapidly de-
veIoping' the Reveille mine. Forty men
are employed on the property. The

are satisfactory. The plans of the cor
poration controlling do not include i'm
mediate shipping. High-grade ore will
not be removed. Present work con-
sists merely of blocking out the shoots
in place preparatory TO the time when
smelter shall have been built and is
ready to treat the output of this as well
as the Eden mine and of the company's
other properties in the vicinity
A H Butler of Alameda, president
of the Manhattan Oriental Company,
has gone to Manhattan to supervise
work on it's claims. He says that he
has received encouraging reports from
the Oriental, where a force is engaged
in exploring. The Oriental has been
shut down all summer, as Mr. Butler
has been abroad. The work will not
pause again, until a mine has been
developed or the company becomes sat
isf1ed that il is on the wrong track
The Smoky Valley and Round Noun
tain Mining Company of Round Noun
tain has let a contract for sinking the
main shaft 100 feet farther The men
and materials for this work have ar
rived. The present shaft is down sew
enty feet. As soon as the additional
100 feet has been completed the COM
pany will explore thoroughly. There
are four claims and several fractions

There is some question concerning the
final outcome of negotiations that are
in progress Nevertheless, the pros
poets for union of the two bodies are
Frightening continually, and it Is sup
posed by many brokers to be certain
that negotiations will result favor

AN EXECUTIVE MEETING
An executive meeting of the Stock
and Bond Board will be held next
week. in all probability. to receive a
report of the committee that has rep
resented that body in the conferences
with the executive committee of the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board.
The movement for anal lgamation
originated with the Stock and Bond
Board. The San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board has voted unanimous
ly to authorize the executive commit
tee to arrange for a union. The fusion
may be accomplished before the end
of another week.
VIEWS OF STRASSBURGER
President Strassburger of the Stock
and Bond Board said yesterday:
There are yet many questions to be
decided and l do not look for hasty
action On general principles, using
the experience of other cities as a
guide, it appears to many that one
large and solid exchange is better than
two small ones; in fact, that there is
not room here for two exchanges. The
business of the two boards doing busi-
ness in San Francisco differs. That
fact suggests some of the questions
that have been discussed. Every point
will be considered fully by the mem
bers of the Stock and Bond Board be-
fore final action is taken Our COM
mittee has not reported back TO the
board"
