YIELDS SENSATIONAL VALUES.
bonanza Mine at Crackerjack Has
Phenomenal Strike.

Bonanza Mine at CracIkerjack Has
Phenomenal Strike.
Seven feet of ore that will average
better than 500 a ton, with an 49,
inch streak that runs up into sensa-
tional values yielding assays that run
into the thousands. That, in short,
is the result obtained from the first
cross-cut at the SO-foot level in the
Crackerjack Bonanza shaft.
If there was ever any doubt as to
the richness of the Bonanza it has
been dispelled by this latest find in
Crackerjack's great gold mine This
body of ore at point 100 feet below
the surface, and eighty feet below the
main tunnel level, practically assures
the permanency of the big veins OH
Bonanza mountain, and assures the
Bonanza mine place among the
leaders.
The new crOsscut was driven
through the big ledge early in the
week, and the Bonanza management
Immediately made public the assay
returns. Needless to say, there is a
feeling of jubilation on the part of
the lucky holders of Bonanza stock,
and others interested in the Bonanza
mountain section, and congratula-
tons are pouring in on the Bonanza
management from all sides.
The new strike, the decision to
make regular shipments from the Bo-
nanza and the determination to grant
leases on some of the ground, are
considered as constituting a great
epoch in the history of the district,
and give rise to feeling of optimism
among the operators throughout the
region.
AS reported in another column, the
directors of the company this week
decided to grant leases in restricted
area on the Bonanza ground. That
all the ground offered for lease will
be quickly taken hold of is certain, as
the applications for leases already far
outnumber the lots available.
Over 900 tons of ore are now piled
on the Bonanza dump, all taken out
in development work, and it is an
nounced that this will be sorted and
everything that will stand the charg-
es shipped to the Salt Lake Valley
smelters. The first shipment will be
made next week by way of Silver
Lake and Crucero. 1t is expected
that the shipments will consist of a
carload week at the start.
The new development in the Be-
nanza shaft is by far the most i'm
portant news Crackerjack has had
since the strike on the main tunnel of
the mine two months ago, and
stamps the Bonanza as one of the
richest mines OF the southwest
probably the richest mine in the
state. While some OF the great gold
districts of Nevada may show a large
production area, it is doubtful If any
of them contain ore of such uniform
ly high value. However. develop
ment work on Bonanza mountain
| dates only from June of the present
year. With this great record for the
four months work under adverse
conditions, it is difficult to even APP
proXimate the splendid future prom
ised for the Bonanza and other prom
critics on the slope of Bonanza noun

With plentiful supply of good
water at hand, where formerly water
had to be hauled from twelve to
twenty miles and haul to railroad
of only twelve miles over fine roads
the extensive work planned by the
company can be prosecuted with CON-
parative ease and rapidity from this
time on. That the management, un.
der the direction of Mr. w. A. Gates
has thus far been most efficient one
Is shown by the magnificent results
accomplished in the face of multi

of leases and the vigorous policy out.
lined by the Bonanza management
the coming winter months will see
the beginning of "a new era for Rel
Pass and the Crackeriack district in
general, and the slopes of Bonanza
mountain will soon resound with the
puff of the gasoline hoists and the
hum of mining activity from al
points. -Crackerjack News.
