BIG STRIKE MADE ON
THE MOHAWK

The fifteen foot body of $3.50 ore
that was struck on Monday In the
company's workings on the Mohawk
shows no signs of diminishing In
richness or in size, says the Tonopah
Sun. When first broken into, the
ore body returned average assays of
$103 to the ton. Next day, Tuesday,
the ore averaged $375 to the ton,
with two-foot streak that ran from
$40 to $3.50 per ton. On Wednes-
day, the values went from $3.50 to
500 across the entire fifteen feet.
and on Thursday assays ranging
from $4S to 1920 per ton were OBJ
tanned. This strike throws even the
riches OF the Hayes-Monpette lease
into the shade and once for all and
eonclusively gives the lie to the par
rot-cry of the knockers, "Goldfield
values do not go down." The strike
was made in a drift on the 450-foot
level, 400 feet below the oxidiZed
zone. and removes all doubt as to
the permanency of the Ore-bodieS
on the Mohawk in particular and in
Goldfield district in general. The ore
is a straight sulphide, absolutely I'M
altered and of wonderful uniform
ity invalue and character. Ii is no
seam proposition. the whole fifteen
feet being one solid mass of high
grade ore, with two feet that aver
age $1,000. Competent authorities
declare that there is enough ore in
this zone to pay off the national
debt. 1t is stated by those who ought
to know, that this strike will send
Mohawk to $40 and Merger to $40
Immediately after the resumption of
business on the exchanges and that
these stocks will carry up the whole
market in their upward flight.
l.. L. Mushett, seen today by Sun
reporter, declared that the reports
as to the strike We're perfectly cor
rect and unexaggerated Indeed,
he said, st would be very hard TO ex-
aggerate the Importance of this
strike; it is simply phenomenal even
for Goldfeld, wonder in a camp of
wonders. There is every indication
of permanence and the values are
holding up well.

Gaena mine, then a famous pro-
ducer of Smokey valley. people tray
eled by stage through country in
which little interest was conferred as
mining region. The road at that
time led from Belmont to Sodaville.
or Soda Springs, as it was called up
to comparatively recent date. when
the advent of railroad changed
many names.
This old stage road lay directly
through what is now the main street
of Manhattan, In the midst of can

CT those who travelled that way. and
there were thousands, ever suspected
the fact that they We travelling over
ground. every inch of which was des-
tined to become of great value.
It remained for Johnny Humphry
to make the first discovery of gold
in the sianhattan canyon. which led
to later discoveries, and at last to the
establishment of the present thriy-
ing camp.
Humphrey. whose home lay in the
Peavine range on the opposite side
of Smokey valley, was riding in that
district one hot afternoon looking
for sundry fat beef cattle whose
tanks bore the marks of the Hum
phry iron, and travelling down the
old stage road through the Manhat-
tan canyon, he drew rein beside the
inviting shade of small bull pine,
and throwing the bride reins over
his horses head. was soon lying at
full length in the grateful shade
hopping his face and thinking of the
long hot ride between himself and
home. After a time he began idly
picking up the loose particles of rock.
and noting their appearance, and
while doing so one of them causnt
his eye. and he examined 1t more
closely He rubbed his eyes and
looked again. Then he spat on the
rock, and under the clearing inhu-
ence, of the saliva, he saw that he
was not mistaken, but that the small
piece of float he held in his hand
contained free gold, and before he
left the shade of the tree he had
found several other similar pieces,
all showing the yellow metal.
This discovery led the Humphreys
to grubstake a prospector and send
him into the district. and from that
time on the history of Manhattan is
well known to the orld.-Nevada
State journal.

TINE AT CAR

City Clerk 0ldheld and Will
O'Hare returned last night after
spending week at Carson where
they took in the big carnival. Mr..
Oldfeld states that the people of
Carson proved royal entertainers and
that everyone had . good time. The
town was thrown open to the guests
and there was something doing all
the time. In addition to those who
had come to attend the carnival were
delegates to the various fraternal
order conventions. An excursion
was run from Reno to Carson.
The two Elyites would have ar
rived here Monday had their train
been twenty-five minutes earlier.
They pulled into Cobre Just as the
Ely local was starting out, so they
had to remain over twenty-four
hours.

very attractive fee. This will be
