ANOTHER TONOPAH MILL
GRINDING OUT BULLION

are being set up as a model mill camp
from which others may . The ore
of skidoo. Mr.. Montgomery says. Is free
milling and silicious. and there are
doubtless methods in use here which
may be applied with great success to
the ores of Skidoo.
Donald p. GiIiies. president OF the
Tonopah Extension is expected here by
the end of the week. and IT is more than
likely that there will be some interest
ing developments in the mine, and with
regard to work on the Golden Anchor.
which latter has been closed down
since the holidays. when operations
were suspended for lack of fuel. Mr..
GilIies upon his return. will spend sew
eeral months in the ann. and has
plenty here to occupy his time for that
period.
The Jim Butler as was fo~reshadowed
in these columns some weeks ago. has
joined the regular ranks of shippers
and is still taking out high grade ore
Besides this. there are being piled up
on the dumps tons of milling ore against
the day when the mine will a a mill
dropping stamps.
1t Is reported that there has beer
another strike in the Midway, but what
the nature of 1t is. has not been given
out up to this time. Midway has also
again Joined the shippers. and has a
vast amount of milling ore blocked out
and on the dump. Midway Is without
doubt, mother Of the great mines OF
Tonopah.
The Montana Tonopah continues &c
send her quota Of ore to the shelters
and to block out and put on the dunn
tons Of milling grade. Work on the
forty stamp mill is proceeding as rap
idly as possible. and the mine will with
in a few months be among the biggest
producers in the camp.
Charles f. Knox. president and gen
eral manager of the Montana Tonopah
has made another lucky strike in the
lease in which he is interested on the
Nevada Hills of Fairview. This is
known as the Knox Brothers lease
Roger Knox came in from Fairview this
week. and brought with him splendid
reports of the new find on the lease
which is pronounced by W. III. Weber
general manager of Nevada Hills. to
be the greatest strike yet made in the
famous mine
on tne ledSe, tney are uoWH lVV lcct
and ten feet in on the crosscut on that
level, the big find was encountered. The
ore body widened to twelve feet, and
FIVE feet of this assayed 5000 a ton
10k feet of 1t went s101.47. This was
an assay aiken by Mr.. Webbe Six
feet of the body assayed $517.
Mr.. Knox was particularly delighted
with the assay of Mr.. Weber. which he
thinks is good enough for any mine. Al
the assays, though, he says were made
on actual measurements. A gallows
frame was shipped INTO the lease the
early part of the week. and there is
also on the ground a twenty-five horse
going to be rushed as there remains but
four months in which to work the
lease. 1t has been worked for ter
months.
The owners of the lease are Roger
c.. Knox and Harry C. Morris, who were
the original lease holders; Charles f
Knox, Edgar Knox. F. NJ. Kirk and w
Baldwin of Cleveland and their asso-
ciates. and Kirby. Lamb and Stoneham,
who were the last to get in. The firm
bought in one-ffth interest for five
thousand dollars, and it was this money
that found the ore. Those interested
expect to take out not less than a mil
lion dollars before the expiration of the
lease: and judging from the values OF
the Nevada Hills. their expectations bid
fair to be realized.
