Special to The Herald.
RHYO1ITE, New, Sept. 1-From
Amargosa, New, news has been received
that M. l.. Shackleford, M. r. w. Rath-
bone and C. H. Smith have located what
is believed to be the extension of an i'm
, rorihnt vein in the Johnnie district. It
is said to traverse the country for several
miles without a break. ITS width Is from
four to thirty miles and 1t lies between
porphyry and lime. The minerals are
gold, silver and copper A shaft has
been started on the property.
A big pump, having a capacity of 300
gallons per minute, has been received
this week by the Montgomery -Shoshone
Consolidated company and is being In
stalled at the pumping station on the l..
W & T. railway, about a mile from the
mine. From that point the water will be
lifted several hundred feet over Mont
gomery mountain to the mill. A receiv-
ing tank of 100000 gallons capacity has
been placed at the station, and a steel
storage tank of the same capacity has
been erected above the mill.
A pump has been ordered to handle the
flow of water in the triple compartment
shaft which is down more than $50 feet
and which is making more water than
can be handled conveniently with the
buckets. Upon arrival and installation
of the sinlxer pump sinking will be re-
sumed and the shaft continued to the
limit of the equipment, or 1900 feet.

Railroad Stops at RhyoIite
Officials of the Tonopah e. Tidewater
railway have announced that the road
will not be built farther north than
Rhyolite, and that traffic arrangements
have been made with the Bullfrog-Gold-
field. which Is operating between hnyo-
lite and Goldf1eld in connection with the
Tonopah & Goldfield railway
The people of Rhyolite are not pleased
with this arrangement because they had
s,Ipposed the town would be made the
terminus of the new railway and that
the main passenger and freight depots
would be located there. The board OF
trade, acting for the citizens, has adopted
resolutions setting forth Rhyolite's claim
and forwarded them to the general agent
at Ludlow. The agent replied that Mr..
Ryan was absent at the time. but that
the matter would be submitted to him as
soon as possible. Meanwhile the people
of Beatty and Gold Center are hopeful
