STINILER A LIVE ONE.
Values Are Improving in Quality

flying all the good things that are be-
ing said about it, and unless all signs |
fail, it will be one of the liveliest
places in the State before the chilling
blasts of winter are upon us.
A spirit of cheerfulness pervades
the atmosphere, and everyone who
has been fortunate enough to get a
claim or secure a lease is positive
that they have the long looked for
fortune within their grasp. And they
are not alone in their belief, as it is
shared by everyone who has visited
the camp within the past week and
have made a careful inspection of the
showings being made.
Some thirty or more leases have
been let and will be at work within
the next two weeks, and applications
have been made for fully that many
more. About ten outfits are on the
ground at this writing, with addi-
tions being made daily.
At the present time the best show
ing is being made on the block of
ground being operated by the Nevada
Consolidated Mines Co., whose shaft
is down below the forty-foot mark,
and every pound of ore being taken
out is of shipping grade and is be-
ing saved for that purpose. A high
grade milling dump is also being ac-
cumulated, the average value of this
being better than $50, while the ship
ping values will average in the neigh
| borhood of $3.50. The night shift on
| Wednesday cut into streak of
| twelve inches on the hanging wall
which shows better values in the pan
than anything heretofore had in the
work. In general appearance the ore
is somewhat different to that prev
iously had and seems to carry more
of the yellow metal, the sample pam
ned showing long string of colors
with very few concentrates. At this
point the vein has widened almost
the width of the new streak, and Is
sinking has heretofore been pretty
slow, as timbers have been hard to
get, and the hanging wall being bad
ly decomposed it was necessary to
secure it for the safety of the men
the shaft being an incline. Free gold
has made its appearance with greater
frequency in the last few days, and
the general appearance of things very
readily explains the air of complac-
ency which Manager Stimler has beer
wearing of late.

hundred feet west of the Other
works. Their shaft is down abou

very good ore, and, as they have tn,

they are on the sure road to wealth

from which surface samples gave re
turns of from 500 to 5000.
John O'Keefe and Harry McNam
ara, whom the old timers will recoe
nize as having been in Tonopah dun
ing the early days, were so infatuat
ed with the showings made in Stin
b Ter that each secured lease and re
turned to their homes to get outfit
together and go in again at the earl

on the railroad last week undoubtet
