The Ronnd Mountain sphlnx

The Round Mountain Sphinx Mining
company, in which j. J. McSorley of
Tonopah is interested, has been partic-
ularly active of late says a dispatch
from Round Mountain, and has accom-
plshed a great deal of work consider
ing the short time they have been at it.
They are working two shifts and have
sunk two shafts, one known as No. is
down 40 feet and No. 2 has reached
depth of "A feet. Both shafts are in
ore that will average $40. Neither wall
of the ledge has been found and as soon
as depth of 65 feet is reached cross
cut will be started.

Mines at Golden

E. ]. Martin who is one of the lessees
of the First Chance mine at Golden
about SO miles from Tonopah was here
Friday. At the First Chance he says
they have 14-inch ledge which will go
over 500 ton. A shaft has been sunk
85 feet and the ledge has more than
doubled in width in the last IL feet.
The Nye County Mercantile company,
who are also interested in other prop
critics in that locality, sent represen-
tative to the site Friday to make an
examination of the property and to see
if there is sufficient ore to warrant the
putting up of a mill. If the outlook is
found to be satisfactory that company
will take hold of it at once.
There are plenty of other leases in
that neighborhood which would pay
well if they were within a reasonable
distance from custom mill.
There is an abundance of free wood
and water in the locality, which would
be of great advantage in the develop
ment of the mines.

To Connect the Shafts

In the Tonopah Extension drift is
being run to connect the West End
shaft with the shaft of the McNamara
property. This drift is being run from
the 4O8-foot level of the West End and
will strike the Mcnamara at the 375-
foot level. This work will be finished
on or about June goth. The usual
hosting of ore is going on in the mine
and the general outlook is very salts
factory to the management.

The Hayes and Monnette

Exact figures in cases of this kind are
always impossible to obtain, but there
is no doubt that the Hayes and Mon
nete lease at Goldfeld is earning any
where from $4,000 to 500, 900 day.
The owners admit they have earned
$40, 900 since the ore was encountered
about a month ago. The lease has
eight months to run and the ore un-
covered shows that it will be impossible
to mine all of it within few months.
while indications are that a big mine
has been found.

MlQlNG--TEE GREATEST OF INDUSTRIES
Cirac Mining Company Makes
Good Report Of Operations


formerly superintendent and vna Of TN
owners Of the famous Roco-Homestak,
mine at Hamilton, New, returned thi
week from three days trip to tn,
Cirac mine, Of which he made an ex
animation. Mr. Jackson says:
81 thoroughly inspected the property
of the Cirac Mining company, consist
ing of five full claims and two fractions
situate about forty miles northwest Of
Tonopah and thirty miles little north
Of east OF Nina, in township north
range 80 east, in Nye county. The
company has done considerable develop.
ment work. There are excellent ledges
on every one of the seven claims, one
of which, for distance of 5000 feet,
is fully 20 feet wide. The formation
here is porphyry, resembling in appear
ance the formation of the Tonopah
mining district. Two cross lodges in
tersect this ledge, both of which carry
excellent values. There is a shaft 50
feet deep on the cross ledge of the Gold
Crown claim, from which a drift taps
the ledge. At this depth the ledge
tapped is between 81 and A four feet
wide. In my opinion the 20-foot ledge
is a bonanza. From the two samples
taken by me across this ledge OBJ
tanned assay values Of $18. A and $25. %
respectively from trenches not over
three feet deep. It's value will un-
doubtedly increase with depth, and
shall advise the company to sink on the
ledge at the intersection of the cross
ledge (above referred toy and the big
ledge 200 or 300 feet in order to prove
the value of the ore at that depth, and
If at that time my opinion is confirmed
as to the value of the ore, think there
should be double compartment vertical
shaft sunk to the depth of at least 400
feet. At the same time the vertical
shaft is being sunk a mill should be
erected. This is entirely feasible, for
the reason that wood and water can be
obtained in abundance and at a very
reasonable cost. Work will be con-
tinued on the cross ledge by sinking
the 5O-foot shaft 100 feet or more until
the cross ledge is tapped by the shaft.
From average samples of ore which
| took from the face of the drift off
the bottom Of the 50-foot shaft ASSAYS
of SllO18 and $l6S.0S respectively
were obtained. The taking out of valu
able shipping ore can thus be continued
while the other work is progressing.
Other properties in the immediate vicin-
ity have ore of like nature, and the
mill erected will probably handle the
ore Of the surrounding properties. | |
shall advise my friends in Sacramento
and elsewhere to invest in the stock of
this company, and ! have no doubt that
their investments will be highly profit
able.
IS. c. Smith, of Oakland, an exper-
fenced mining man, is now at the Cirac
mine and expects to remain there for
some time. He represents San Fran
cisco investors. He is thoroughly sat
istied with the showing made and has
no doubt as to the value of the invest
ment his friends have made. Mr.. Smith
and myself have been asked by the
board of directors of the Cirac Mining
company to outline the future policy for
the working Of the mine, and the above

ore from this property (prior to tn,
erection of the mill will be shipped b.
way of Nina. We hope within yea
to have a dividend-paying property
There is no reason why there should
not be several of them in the Cirat
mining district"
W. F. Ford, secretary and genera
manager and the principal stockholdei
OF the company, when interviewed con.
cerning this property, said:
"The Cirac Mining company was or.
ganized last November and commenced
work in the early part of February of
this year, which has been continuous
since then. We have done over SIS, ,OOO
worth of development work. From an
open cut on the surface we obtained
ore which gave assays of $178, 1892 and
1854; at a depth of so feet the ore as
sayed 1918, 1888, $464, $517 and 1854.
These assays were obtained from sorted
ore. During the development work on
this property | have been constantly in
touch with the foreman of one of the
principal mining properties in Tonopah
and have shown him all the samples of
ore which have brought in. He tells
me that the ore is almost identical with
the ore obtained from the mine in
which he is foreman and he has un-
doubted faith in the future of this
property The company will, by the
advice of prominent mining men re-
Gently had, proceed to sink about 400
feet. If at this depth the ore is what
we expect it to be, mill will be
erected, which will mill the ore from
our mine and that of the surrounding
properties. There are several adjacent
properties which have ore almost exact
ly like ours-and plenty of it. The
Cirac mining district, in my opinion, in
a year from now will be a very busy
camp. Believing this, the Cirac com
pany has dug an excellent well within
a mile of the property. This well seems
inexhaustible and can be relied upon to
supply all the wants of the new camp.
We have laid out townsite; a general
store and other necessary businesses
will soon be established. The teams
which carry the ore to Nina will haul
goods to supply all the wants of the
new camp, and, if business justifies it.
a stage or automobile line will be es-
tablished from Nina. 1t is directly on
the road from Nina to Golden, Clover
dale Ranch, San Antoine, Millett and
Manhattan. The stock of the Cirac
Mining company will be listed just as
soon as arrangements can be made. |
We have 100000 shares of the stock
in the treasury 200, 900
having been heretofore sold); 100, 600 of
this will be placed upon the market
at 30 cents. This will bring in enough
money to develop the property to such
a depth that we expect the remaining
200, 600 shares to bring us not less than
30 cents per share, and with this ex-
penditure we expect to put the property
on dividend-paying basis. We invite
a thorough inspection of this by any
and all mining men. The office of the
company is at Rooms 2, a and 6 Nyco
building, Tonopah, New, at whichplace
.he secretary will be pleased to answer
any and all questions concerning this
and to issue stock to in
yestors.

Reports from Montezuma district,

mine development.
