STONE WALL
CAME DOWN

Last Thursday afternoon about five
O'Clock the entire west wall of the
stone building in the rear of Drago-
vich's store on main street and Oddie
avenue fell out with crash, but for
tunately no one was hurt. The found
alton of this place it would seem, was
laid on the sand not more than two
feet below the surface, and when the
contractors who are excavating for the
basement of the new Merchants hotel
had removed the dirt to depth of
twelve or fourteen feet Immediately
alongside, making frequent use of
heavy blasts of powder, the foundation
to the stone wall finally gave way. A
force of masons was at work at the
time, building up the new wall from
the foundation as rapidly as possible in
order to hold up the foundation of the
adjoining old one, but the crash came
before they could complete the work.
The contractors were fearful of some
accident, so close watch was kept on
the old wall while the men were at
work and at the first sign of its giving
way the men were warned just in time
to retreat to safety. The damage
amounts to probably 1000.

AN INDIAN MAKES
A RICH DISCOVERY

For several years past Captain Joe
Gilbert, of the Shoshone tribe of In
dians of this vicinity. has often told
numerous white people that he knew
where there was a ledge of very rich
ore, and that some day he would show
it to the white man. While there were
many who doubted Joe's assertion as
to the rich ore, some believed in him
and tried every means to get Joe to
divulge the whereabouts Of this rich
ore, says the Reese River Reveille. AS
time went on and Joe would not tell the
location of the ore or produce any of
the same, people began To place Joe IS
mine in the class of "lost minesp and
refused to listen to him. The time was
now ripe for a surprise. The whites
considered Joe's tale of rich mine a
myth and their confidence in this GER
tain Redman was shattered, but on
Thursday he re-established his reputa-
tion for veracity by bringing ore to
town that assayed 1888 mot ounces) to
the ton in silver.
Joe refused to divulge the location of
his rich find, but he has been employed
during the winter months for several
years past in cutting timber in the hills
about ls miles west of Austin and south
of Mount, Airy on the Smith creek side.
The find has created considerable ex-
citement and a number of local pros
pectors have gone to the locality above
described in the hope of getting in on
the extension, as Joe says he has
located the original find.

LOGAN BUILDING
A l&STAMP MILL

Clarence Logan arrived from Fish
Lake valley last Tuesday, where he and
his brother, A. ]. G. Logan. are erect
ing a 10-stamp mill and cyanide plant
for the Lookout mine. The work is
practically completed and the plant
will be in commission by the first of
next month. The mill, which was
constructed by the Risdon Iron Works
of San Francisco, is up-to-date and will
have a crushing capacity of about 40
tons day. The ore will be handled
by gravity and the entire operation,
from the mine shaft to the cyanide
tanks, will be practically automatic,
the services of only four mill men be-
ing required. The water supply will
be pumped distance of one and three
quarter miles against 60O-foot grade.
The motive power of the mill will be
supplied by steam engine, while the
pumping plant will be operated by
a gasoline engine. The Lookout mine
contains large reserves Of free-milling
gold ore of an average value of about
$50 ton, and it is calculated that the
output when the mill is in operation
will run close to 500. 900 a month.

GREEN WATER
COPPER DISTRICT
TOnOpah Men who are Operating
in that LEGALITY are Pleased
With the Results.

Jim Meighan of Tonopah, who is
interested ine the Greenwater Copper
district, in the Funeral Range noun
tains. says that locality is rapidly COM
ing into prominence and every expert,
without exception, who has been there
to examine the properties has returned
very favorable report upon the same,
while in every instance, so well pleased
were the investigators with the merits
of the properties that sale was in
variably effected. The district is about
10 miles long and miles wide.
Mr.. Meighan, Edgar Wallace, of
Boston, and A. d. Nash have bought
the Hub group consisting of 10 claims,
from Messrs. Ed Donnelly, Jimmy
Dugan and the Moran brothers. At
present eight men are at work trench
ing in different places to ascertain the
width Of the ledge. Assays on top
run from three per cent to 48 per cent
in copper. Across an average of IL
feet the results were IL per cent cop
per, 81 in gold and Is ounces in silver.
Big developments are expected to
take place at Greenwater as Charles
M. Schwab and his associates have
taken big copper group for which
they are to pay $l50,000. The moment
the deal was closed the sum of $50, 200
was paid over to the owner, Arthur
Kunze, and the remainder is to be paid
On or before August 20. The deal was
closed through one of the Goldfield
banks.
Associated with Mr.. Schwab in the
purchase are DR.. Ward, Charles E..
Knox and Don B. Gillies. Lawyer
George Bartlett of Tonopah, has just
completed the incorporation of the new
Schwab company, which is to operate
the property. 1t is called the Green
water Copper Mining company. The
purchase embraces l6 full claims and
three fractions, known as the Kunze
property, located one mile northeast of
Patsy Clark's mine, at Greenwater.
The formation is porphyry and lime,
and Harry Ramsey, the well known
operator who was in camp last Satur-
day, and who, by the way, was an
important factor in the big deal just
consummated, says the huge copper
ledge is four or five miles long.

TAKING OUT
$1,000 PER DAY

In the face of scarcity of miners,
caused by the discoveries elsewhere,
Manager Webber. is now taking out
81, 900 day from the famous mine on
Eagles Nest, according to a dispatch
from Fairview of the 18th inst. The
returns from the first shipment were
satisfactory, indeed, and second chip
ment that will average much higher
has gone forward. A third ship
ment, that is expected to average at
least $500 to the ton, is being sacked.
1t is the intention of the management
to make up carload of the "rich
stuff" and forward it at once. II this
is done something is going to happen,
for it is likely to shake up the sam
pling works with a return of about
$1,000 ton, and the mining men all
over the state could not stand anything
like this, no matter how hot the
weather.
The Nevada Hills mine is SO big that
the outside people cannot begin to
realize what shaking up it is going
to give the mining world.

A Mistake Corrected.

In our issue of June sOth, in speaking
of the Manhattan Butler group of mines
we associated them with those of the
ohio-Tonopah company. This was a
mistake. The Manhattan Butler Min
ing company has no relationship what
ever to the ohio-Tonopah. 1t was the
fact that many of the shareholders of
the former company are also interested
in the latter, that led US to the errone-
GUS inference that the Manhattan Butler
was an offspring of the 0hio-Tonopah.

second Minnie Mae. Yesterday another
shaft was started about 10 feet below
the original shaft and the same forma-
tion was encountered as in the Minnie
Mae, The ledge was covered with a
decomposed lime Gaping, but even this
showed colors. No assay has yet been
taken but paintings gave good colors.
Experts like Bowler say that when
Browne is down another 10 feet he will
get as rich ore as is now being extract
ed from the Minnie Mae shaft.
The Bennett lease will be worked
through the Minnie Mae shaft. The
ledge in the Minnie Mae dips to such an
extent that the men win soon be work
ing in the Bennett ground. The same
people that leased this strip are the
owners of the Minnie Mae lease so
there viii be no conflict between the
two parties. Meantime Fred Bowler is
going to do extensive prospecting on
the ground in the hope of striking an
other rich ledge, such as has been dis
covered on the Minnie Mae and Browne
leases, which bound the Bennett ground

average samples. On lease No. 8 the
shipping ore from the sage roots down,
runs from 800 to $500 per ton. The
values of the Page ledge are in silver
and gold. Free gold, ruby silver, horn
silver, silver bromides and native silver
occurring in quartz gangue make the
ore. The development work alone has
produced lot of high grade shipping
ore. On the Confidence mine, owned
by Captain Cutter several shafts have
been sunk, the deepest being 60 feet.
The ledge is fissure zone several hun
dred feet in width and containing sew
eral veins of gold-bearing ore.
On the Golden Arrow Mining COM
pany's ground one shaft is down 1O2
feet, all in ore that will average $40
per ton. Another is down 65 feet in
oxidized ore averaging $40 per ton.
The third has reached a depth of IS
feet with ore that ranges from $31 to
$130 per ton. The vein is large fis-
sure ranging from to 10 fleet in width,
all of which is good milling ore with
some shipping ore that win go $lO0 per
ton.
At the Yellow Jacket group of the
Clifford Mining company, most of the
work has been done at Clifford and
from now on the operations will be
confined to development in the Golden
Arrow district. This ground is crossed
by the Page ledge and several other
ledges in which good ore has been
found on the adjoining property.
The Ring Mining company has just
been formed by San Francisco capital
lists. The object of this company is to
develop the President group of mines,
Immediately south of the Golden Arrow
Mining company's ground. They have
a shaft down 65 feet on strong ledge
in which some good gold values have
been found. The Nevada Smelter and
Mines corporation owns a valuable
group of claims in the central part of
the district. They have shaft down
close to hundred feet on the Little
Pete, which is owned by Patrick &
Foreman. They have rock that win
go over $500 per ton.
A townsite has been laid out on an
ideal site for city from which can be
had most slightly and beautiful view
of the towering tfee-clad Kawiehmoun-
tains, the mines of Tonopah, 80 miles

distant ranges. A number of buildings
have already been erected in the town
for the use of miners employed, in
cluding hotel and restaurant, where
comfortable accommodations can be
had. Other buildings ara being erected.
A branch store of one of the leading
mercantile establishments of Tonopah
is soon to be established and other nec-
essary adjuncts to live and well-ord-
cred mining camp are preparing to To-
cate in the new town.

one mile from Atwood, in the direction
of Edgewood. The discovery was made
by R. S. Bulaich, at 4 depth of eight
feet, while doing assessment work
Assays made in Tonopah Tuesday give
values Of $7.2S in gold and $40. 10 in

Bullfrog Johnnie and the Johnnie Con.
Gold Mining company will have resumed
active operations. H ~
The directors Of the Globe Johnnie

work. They intend sinking in their old
shaft and do some crosscutting, U. M.
Thomas, the manager of the property,
is expected to arrive here about the
first of August with machinery and
men and upon his arrival will superin-
tend the resumption of business here.
Men are arriving daily that will form

FROM GOLDEN ARROW DISTRICT
Six Hundred and Fifteen Dollars a Ton is the
Latest Strike in the Blackbird

John Tell and Nels Ericsson arrived
Tuesday morning from Golden Arrow
and report an important strike on the
Blackbird group owned by c. Drumm.
A shaft is being sunk on twelve-foot
ledge which assays $40 in gold. At a
depth of so feet the rich pay streak
widened to two feet in width and pans
well, showing considerable coarse gold.
An assay of an average sample return
ed value of S615 in gold per ton.
The new strike is Immediately south
Of the Yellow jacket group and is
causing considerable excitement: This
new district is situated about 80 miles
east of Tonopah, IL miles south of Cliff
ford and the same distance west of
Silver Bow. The known mineral bear
ing area is about four miles long and
two miles wide, extending along the
western slope of the Kawich range Of
mountains. In the same range of
mountains are also located the camps
of Silver Bow, Kawich, Eden and
Clifford.
The work so far done is causing con-
siderable excitement in local mining
circles because of development proving
the existence of large fissure veins,
carrying high grade shipping ore and
immense quantities of milling ore. The
latter character of ore is rendered
available and valuable because of an
abundance of timber and water being
close at hand. This feature of plenti-
full supply of wood and water makes
the district doubly attractive to the
mining man, and especially is this true
in district that is generally conceived
by outsiders to be desert, destitute
of these essentials. In this particular
the Kawich range is a veritable oasis
in the desert.
The rock formation consists of ande-
site, rhyolite, dacite and volcanic tufts,
traversed by rich fissure veins. Gen.
orally speaking the north and south
veins carry high silver values with
gold, and the east and west lodges con-
tain higher proportion of gold values.
The first discovery in this district was
made by the Page brothers last Sep
tember and that discovery is now the
property of the Golden Arrow. The
Page vein is assure, crossing the
property for distance of 4,500 feet,
upon which six leases are being oper-
ated. There are three shafts now
down from 60 to so feet, besides other
shallow shafts. The vein has been
thoroughly prospected for distance OF
$500 feet. The ledge has width OF
from five to ten feet and stands nearly
vertical. The oxydized milling ore
which contains largely gold values, av-
erages 500 per ton and is free milling
ore, this being established by tests
made from nine'large average samples
of the ore. The average of the sui.
phide milling ore is 5000, from five
