The Formation of a merger corpora-
ton, to absorb a wide range of proper
ties at Tuscarora has been completed.
1t will be known as the Tuscarora-Ne-
vada Mines company and is capitalized
at s12,0 600, 900. The following mines.
which nave produced approximately
$40, 900. 900, have been secured; Navajo.
Grand Prize, Commonwealth. Queen. In
dependence. North Belle Isle, DeFreeze
and Dexter. These mines AVE paid
more h $13. 900. 900 in dividends. The
purpose of the company is to close up
all options on properties not yet puT-
chased and to combine and operate the
s5-foot lode and placer claims embraced
in the mining properties together with
the power plants and other properties
that have to do with the carrying out
Of the undertaking.
The average depth at which the mines
have been worked is about 800 feet, and
the deepest workings are only 700 feet.
New shafts will be sum for deep min
ing, and dredges and milling plants will
be installed to operate the placers.
With this awakening of the old camp
of Tuscarora, and the great activity at
Aura, Edgemont. Mountain City and
Columbia 1t looks as If northern Eiko
county would make a noise much like
a boom this summer.-Loyelock Tri-

A stampede is on from Manhattan to
the new strike of Scott Hickey in the
Toquima range about fifty miles north
of Round Mountain. All kinds of re-
ports are afioat as to the moun of free
gold that has been found in the noun
tains. and Hickey has abundant samples
with him to show what he has found.
The stage coach which rive here
yesterday morning from Manhattan was
destitute of passengers something that
has not happened these many moons.
The reason for the falling off in the
traffic on the stage line is that all the
restless people of Manhattan have gone
to the new strike.
The stampede began on Thursday
night when Scott Hickey, who is deputy
sheriff of Manhattan, arrived there from
his new discoveries with a wagon load
of rock in which there was any amour
of free gold. Hickey gave everybody
minute directions as to how to reach the
place and the stampede began. They
went away on horseback. in wagons, in
buggies and in automobiles. They took
any means of transportation that was
at hand, and by his time the mountains
are full of ~prospectors and all other
kinds of people. who are looking for a
stake.
No name has been yet given to the
new district. 1t was discovered by
Hickey two months ago who brought
his samples into Tonopah and had them
assayed and went away again without
telling anybody where the rock came
from or what were the result of the
assays. He was gone until about two
weeks age. when he again came in with
more samples, and got more assays.
Returning to the diggings. he evil
IDENTIFY took up as man. claims as he
thought he could handle, and then went
into Manhattan and broke the news
to those who cared to listen. And every
body whom he met wanted to know all
about the new country, and the STAN
pede was the result.-Tonopah Bonanza.

ROB ROY DEVELOPMENT

A shaft Is being sunk on the acreage
of the Manhattan Rob Roy Gold Mining
company at a point within 200 feet of
the rich strike which first attracted at
tention to the gold yielding possibili-
ties of the series of lodges traversing
the estate of the Independence Consoli-
dated company. Sinking is progressing
with rapidity and under mineral indiea-
lions decidedly favorable to the loca-
ton of pay ore at no great depth. From
the 100-foot level a crosscut is to be
run out to the continuation of the
ledge from which the Independence peo-
pie mined their first high grade ore.

A gold content averaging 500 the
ton is the return on a small shipment
recently made from the Manhattan Gold
Crater estate. The mill run was made
at the plant of Chapman & Mushett at
Round Mountain, The run was emf

mill people as 90 per cent of the values
were saved. Another consignment is
now being prepared-one freight wagon
load-and it will go out in about ten
days.

GRANNY CONTACT
Ed. Hirschler of San Francisco. presi-
dent of the Granny Mining
has awarded a contract for an additional
100 feet of sinking which when COM
pleted. will give the shaft a mean depth
of 800 feet. From the 300-foot level II
is the intention to crosscut to the ledge
whose primal development was taken
up at the level run out at the 112-foot
point. If gold values are found to be
sufficiently high to warrant a mill will
be erected at the property as soon as
the ore body is proven up at the objec-
tive lower level. Where specifically
prospected at the 112-foot level this
ledge Is a profitable grade of mill rock
In its entirety and a portion of the
product from that point sacked and
piled or dump has a gold value of 800
the ton. However. where opened up
at the 112-foot point the formation is
considerably broken. hence the decision
to develop at depth before erecting a
mill or sending ore to stamp. At the
present depth of the shaft. a few feet
below the 200-foot mark. there is a
pronounced change in formation, the
general character of the liberalization
indicating that the permanent. or sui
phide ore zone will be either
at or above the 300-foot level.
