Regarding the arairs of n Tonopah
Mining company. Mr.. Brock was too
busy with railroad matters to discuss
mining affairs. further than to say that
the mines were In the best of condition,
and that as to the matter of decline in
the securities. he knew nothing.
The Midway mill was closed down
this week for repairs. The pumping
plant has to be ~overhauled and put into
shape for the experiments with the tall
ings. This is the mill that was put up
by a number OF Tonopah mining men,
ind which was sold more than a year
ago to the Tonopah Mining 1t

ployed until the shut down of a few
days ago.
The Tonopah Extension mine Is work.
ing along steadily. taking u shipping
ore. and prospecting the lower levels for
the ore body under the dacite intrusion.
The work on the 1850 level of the Tono-
pah Extension is being watched with
great interest by the people of this
camp. for the reason that It is expected
to prove up the rest OF the big mines;
In fact prove the depth of Tonopah.
From the indications there seems to be
no doubt that the ore will be found after
the crosscut has been run a thousand
feet.
The Tonopah Extension. being located
down on the fat, will have encountered
ore at the greatest depth, when this
crosscut is completed. and 1t is safe to
say that the rest of the mines which
have not attained any such depth. viii
get the ore by continuing to sink. There
is ample shipping ore being taken out to
keep the mine running. to do all the
prospecting work. and to put something
IN the treasury every month. In an
other month or two, there Will be
enough in the treasury to construct a
mill. and 1t Is said that the mill II GO
Ing to be put up on the Extension
ground, where the railroad haul will be
eliminated.
Satisfactory arrangements could not
be made with the railroad to. ship the
ore to the Shoshone mill. 30, It has been
practically decided to put up the mill at
home. There IL now IN the treasury
more han 800, 900. and the stock at
present prices. is not free Of Offering.
We will see the stock of the Tonopah
Extension soaring again and the com
pany again paying dividends without a
doubt.
Some little excitement was created
here during the week over the discovery
of rich ore on the lease Of the McGona-
gill property In silver Bow. The latter
camp is about sixty miles from here tn

years ago, and there were in the neigh
borhood of -four hundred people there.
Good values werc found, and there were
great OPENINGS OF milling J-c There is
an abundance Of water and timber. and
It makes an ideal camp. Just a the
boom was getting along nicely the rush
to Manhattan started, and as soon as
news of 1t reached Silver Bow. the men
dropped everything and went over the
to the new Ell Dorado. Silver
Bow has slumbered quietly since then.
but there haye been some deals going
on quietly within the past few months.
and the new discoveries havs started a
in thai direction which may
develop into another boom. Those who
have been there declare that 1t is an
ideal mill site, and that with mills 1t
will be one Of the greatest camps In Me-
