panies is SO, 100, 900, the West Ends
being $500, 900, the Ohio's 81, 500, 900 and
the McNamara's $1,000, 900. OF the
new issue of stock the West End is to
be apportioned 1000, 600 shares, the
Ohio 250, 900, the Mcnamara $50, 900,
and the balance of 500, shares will
be treasury stock. These properties
are three of the best mines in the
Tonopah district. The consolidation
will give them big territory to work
and will make the stock of the COM
pany very desirable, and probably en-
hance it materially in value.

Manhattan News.

The following interesting items are
from the Manhattan News:
The stone work on the new home of
the Nye and Ormsby County Bank has
been completed and the building is now
in the hands Of the carpenters. The
bank people expect to be installed in
their new quarters in about thirty days.
This is the first stone building to be
erected in Manhattan. The Nye and
Ormsby County Bank also has the
honor of occupying the first stone build
ing erected in Tonopah.
Superintendent A. S. Riggs of the
Manhattan Consolidated Extension, re-
ports big strike on that property the
early part of the week. At depth of
fifteen feet in the shaft, which is being
sunk by the company, a three foot vein
Of ore was encountered which carries
free gold in quantity. Specimens of
the ore are alive with wire gold and the
quartz which is seemingly barren pans
freely.
The showing on the Jumping Jack
continues to hold out in the same en-
eonraging manner which has thus far
characterized operations in that prop
erty. In the Golden shaft drifting con-
tinues and the values are holding out
and if anything, getting stronger
Some sensational news may be looked
for from this property any day.
James r. Clark, the well-known
operator, this week purchased through
Jordan and Mcclellan, the Gold Dollar
group of claims and the Sedan group
from Tom Malvihill for $4,000. The
same gentleman purchased the Gas
You Like 1t" and the Key Note prop
critics from Harry Hudson the pur-
chase price being $2l, 900.
The Vermilyea lease on the Riley
Fraction is developing into great mine
and is at the present time one of the
best holdings in the district In spite
OF the fact that the shaft is but 80 feet
indepth there are now ten tons Of ship
ping ore on the dump and the vein is
Widening with each foot of depth. The
ledge is now Is inches in width and
average assays clear across give sensa-
uonal values. A shipment will be made
tne first Of the coming month. Mining
men who visited this lease this week
nave no hesitancy in stating that it is
one OF the biggest things in camp and
that 1t gives every indication Of becom-
ing sensational producer.

Hon. f. NJ. Smith Here.

Hon. F. M. (''Borax'') Smith, C. B.
zabriskie and party arrived in Tonopah
in Mr.. Smiths private car yesterday
morning, and will spend several days in
this section. Mr.. Smith is heavily ins
terested in the West End and MacNa-
mara mines, and he is also building a
railroad from Ludlow, Calf, to Tono-
pah. He says the line will be completed
to this city by April of next year.

Lone Mountain.

F. j. Herman, superintendent of the
Princess Maude, in the rich Lone Noun
tain district, spent Thursday in 'Tono-
pah. He says the mine is looking bet
ter every day. The crosscut on the 200
level has been driven 12O feet and it is
thought that the ledge will be tapped
within the next 40 feet of work. Many
small stringers have been cut in sinking
the shaft.
Andy Serviss and his brother Jim
Serviss, the first sheriff of Nye county,
spent last Sunday in Tonopah. Andy
is superintendent of the Nevada Alpine
mine. at Lone Mountain, owned by
O'Meara and Lynch. He says the
Nevada-Alpine is one Of the best mines
in the west and predicts great things
from it. He has just opened up three
feet of rich ore in the deepest level.
The mine is shipping ore regularly.
Not share of the company's stock has
ever been allowed to pass out of the
hands of the hands of the half-dozen
men who own it. Messrs. O'Meara and
Lynch were the first ones to fully
appreciate the merits of the rich Lone
Mountain district and backed their
judgment with cash.
In July, 1903, James McAntee located
a couple of claims there and soon after
wards sold a half interest to some
Italians In October a shipment was
made through T. L. Oddie of the Tono-
pah company and it was that which
attracted Mr.. O'Meara's attention to
the prospect. He sent man out and
had the prospect sized up between two
days and then tried to secure bond on
the Italians half interest. They re-
fused to give one, but agreed to sell for
$25, 900 cash. Inside of twenty-four
hours they had received their money.
Later the McAntee interest was ac-
quired and five adjoining claims that
were owned by Con. Driscoll were pur-
chased. Locations were also made and
today the company owns seventeen
patented claims. Previous to the first
annual meeting of the company that
was formed by the owners under which
to operate, dividend of $4,000 was
paid, the distribution being the first to
have been made in the new Tonopah
region. Since then the company has
been steadily developing its property
and shipping enough ore to meet the
expense and maintain large reserve
fund. At the present time it has 1000
tons of ore blocked out that will net in
excess of $125 per ton. Through the
buildings of the railroads the mine is
now only four miles distant from the
loading station at Mclean, and the cost
of the wagon haul is materially reduced.
Being new camp, in new formation,
it has taken a great deal of work on the
part of the Alpine company to learn
that the ores went down, but that has
now been demonstrated, and it seems
to be only matter of intelligent oper-
alton Tor large number of other prop
critics to be brought to the front, as
every engineer who has been in the
district speaks in glowing terms of its
rich naturalization.

Baxter Springs.

~ @NNOs
EDITOR BONANZA:
Two big companies have completed
their organization and will begin active
development work at once.
Raschke, Allen and Parrott have
just decided over to the Baxter
Springs and Manhattan mining com
pany the five discovery claims, St. Paul,
Golden West, Mountain Maid, 0. K.
No. and O. X. No. 2. These claims
are located right in the town of Baxter
and portion of the townsite covers
some Of them. Three assays taken
from the Golden West shaft this week
went 1920, $36. 80 and $3.50 to the ton.
The rock is lime and slate formation,
exactly similar to Manhattan Consoli-
dated at Manhattan. X. L. Parrott,
the president of this company, is a
hustler, and active development work
will begin at once.
Raschke, Allen and Parrott have also
decided over to the Baxter Springs Min
ing and Milling Company the other
five discovery claims at Baxter. These
claims are the Bonanza, Union No. /,
Union 2, Union No. and Union No. a.
A block of 30, 900 shares of stock in this
company was quietly sold this week to
the wise ones in and around Tonopah.
The sale of this stock gives this COM
pany nice treasury fund and active
development work is now in progress.
The company has four men at work and
contract will be let at once for a
shaft one hundred feet deep. A four
horse load of mining timber, powder, a
complete blacksmith shop and general
supplies was received by the company
this week.
1t is confidently predicted by all who
are acquainted at Baxter that the
Baxter Springs Mining and Milling
company will prove they have great
mine before the shaft is down one hun
dred feet. A two story hotel is to be
constructed at once and five big loads
of lumber have left Tonopah to be used
in its construction.
Baxter will make good camp with
a doubt. Several sales of town lots
were made the past week.
On one claim owned by Lou Daven-
port and partners some very rich speci-
men ore was taken out during the past
week and indications are that shipping
ore will be encountered at no great
depth.
Mr.. Davenport left for San Francisco
and Los Angeles last Tuesday on bust
ness connected with his property and
there will be things doing on the Dav-
export group when he returns. w. S.
ClOverdaIe.
C. A. Norcross and Captain H. B.
Tonkin have just purchased the Work
man group of five claims at Red Springs,
near Cloverdale. There is at present a
65-foot shaft and about 60 feet of drifts
in bottom of the shaft. In doing the
assessment work last fall thirty-inch
streak of shipping ore was encountered
on the foot wall of the shaft in new
ground. The property is considered
choice and will be developed on an ex-
tensive scale by the purchasers. The
consideration of sale was $3.50

will be distributed.
Vice President C. r. Miller and Cen
eral Manager Keith will return from
their trip to San Francisco tomorrow.
TOnOpah and California.
The new cage has been placed in
position at the Tonopah and California
property. Superintendent Clyde Jack
son is doing splendid work and has the
shaft down nearly $50 feet. He is now
establishing a station and will run two
crosscuts.

to be treated by the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company. 1t averages about
$3.50 to the ton.
Have Good Copper Property.
E. B. Day and Ed Billings left for
Sodaville today to put force of men to
work on the Tonopah Copper mining and
milling company's ground in which they
are heavily interested. They have five

Miilett:

II. w. Summers, known to his many
friends as Hank" Summers, came in
from Millett Sunday night Mr.. Sum-
mers was pioneer of Klondike, having
gone to that cold section of the uni
verse in 1888. He made trip down the
foukon with Lieutenant Schwatka to
Fort Yukon in that year. Mr.. Sum-
mers has been a resident of the Millett
district for six months and he says it is
second to none in Nevada. The lodges
are well defined and show high values.
There is a big rush of people into the
district and many new strikes are being
made. Three townsites have been laid
cut and lots in all of them are in
demand The three, Millett, Pueblo
and Gold Center, are the future cities
of the district. There are three ship
ping properties in the distsict at the
present and within the next few months
there will be many more. Capital is
seeking investment and many sales are
being made.

Tule Canyon.

7. G. Price, the well-known mining
man, came in from Oasis, Lookout and
Tule Canyon this week for few days
visit. He says that section never
looked better and the mines are becom-
ing richer with depth. From surface
down to a depth of 68 feet the shaft
being sunk by the Nevada Tule Mining
company on the Hawk claim located in
upper Tule canyon has followed the
ledge, the quartz being heavily iron
stained and showing some free gold.
Recently nine samples were taken from
the workings and the dump which re-
turned gold values as follows. $2.40,
81. 60, S24, $2s, $45.65, $61.O5, Sl66. so,
S609.60; an average of $l07.S9 per ton.
The quartz streak from which the rock
was taken is from Is to % inches wide
and aside from this there are about 10
feet of mill grade having a value of
from So to $40 per ton. The vein is
standing nearly vertical and is to be
followed to much greater depth.
kawich.
Ed. Williams, one Of the pioneers of
Kawich, came in from that camp last
Sunday on a flying trip. He says the
old Kawich mountains will prove within
the next year to be one Of the richest
ranges in the State of Nevada.

strikes ever made in southwestern Ne
vada. The ledge uncovered was -four
feet in width and plastered with gold.
Tais property was purchased last week
from VIM. Essie and D. G. Gardner,
and organized as the Consolidated Gold

Louis Chiatovich, of Silver Peak, and
Geo. Emerson have just disposed of
of the controlling interes in the Bonnie
Claire mine to Forester & Son, of Los
Angeles, for $4,000 There is 2O-foot
ledge on the ground that averages high
in milling values. Mr.. Chiatovich in
tends making trip to Europe in June
on six months pleasure jaunt.
Mitchell and Ricard have made a
strike of considerable Importance on
their ground-a pay streak of IS inches
in 20-foot ledge having been encoun-
tered that will average $1,000 to the
ton. This is certainly good enough for
any district.

 What about these sotas of the rich these princes of our nlohley aristocracy? asks Cleveland Moffettj in Success Ma gazine. How much chance is there that one of them will dbvelop the gen. jus of the founder of his line, and in- stead of guaranteeing, millions will ac- cumulate tens of millions; instead of living in useless luxulE on his income will prove himself a force in the in- dustrial and financial lWorld, a man able to fight and conquer like his fa- ther or grandfather.
 Extraordinary happenings are al- ways unexpected, yet one in a century or so like the advent of mighty con- querer or reformer, they do come to pass.

 A real king? Yes, for hol long, pray, would this republic stand against the aggressions of such man, a great-minded despot without consci- ence or bounds to his ambition, one in comparison to whom our Rockefeller and Carnegies would seem like blunder- ing beginners?

 A correspondent of Bird Lore, writing from Jacksonville, III, says: Ever since began bird study, six years ago. I have kept simple fable and it has been neyer-failing source of pleasure and instruction to me, as well as a help to my bird guests during the bad weather We have an acre of ground around our home, and fine trees, but there are streets on all but the north side, so I chose that side for the bird table, as 1t is the most sheltered and at the same time affords us the best chance to watch the birds from the house. I began by tying Jumps of suet up in small trees near the windows, and very soon my guests began to arrive. Later I devised a plan for bringing the suet eaters within close range. I fastened a rough stick, two or three inches in diameter, to the window shutters, across the window little be- low the middle sash, and upon this stick tied my lump of suet.
 From that time we have had the pleasure all winter long of watching our bird neighbors at their luncheon while sitting at our own dining table. I also fastened wooden tray to the sill into which we put cracked nuts and chopped suet The most constant visitors are the chicadees and wood- peckers; then blue jays, titnice, juncos and nuthatches with once in a while a cardinal. Of these the chickadees and downy woodpeckers are the tamest. When the spring migrants return we find blackblrds and catbirds patronizing the suet Almost all the winter birds are fond of both nuts and suet No one need even waste old or rancid nuts. The birds will be glad to get them"
 Another Illinois correspondent says: Last fall I hung a birdfood shelf at our south study window and early each morning put tcrackednuts, suetan birdseed on it. Several tufted titmice visited it the first morning. Tn a day or two juncos and clicadees came in focks. White breasted nutthatches, downy and hairy woodpeckers, white crowned sparrow and a red bellied woodpecker were constant visitors all winter, often coming several times each day. A mocking bird came until the middle of December, making in all nine
