That, In my judgement, no other camp
In the West presents greater posi-
bilities for future advancement than
the little camp of Masonic"
Mr.. Lund left for Goldfeld Sunday
evening. He is a native of Sweden
and a graduate of the Technical uni
Versity of Stockholm and also a post
graduate of the University of Heidel-
burg of Germany. He has had rather
an unusual career for SO young a
man, for he has travelled the worJ d
over. He has been in India, Austria
liza, South Africa, South America,
Central America and spent two years
in Alaska. He was chief engineer
for the government of Argentina in
surveying the boundary line between
that country and Chilli. At n time
he was assistant to the chief engineer
of the Virginia & Truckee railroad
and prior to that a civil engineer for
the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany.
If seeing the mines of many coun-
tries should widen the experience and
make a mar Q capable Judge the
opinion of Mr.. Lund regarding the
district of Masonic should be taken
with a great deal Of consideration.

The bindery plant of the Bonanza
is running in splendid shape and
getting into better condition every
day.
Now is the time for the merchants,
brokers' and mining companies to
show their appreciation Of home in
dustry. There is plenty of work to
be done here in the line of binding
and ruling, and we are in a better
position to do it than anybody else
in the state.
We have the facilities, you have
the work. A fair exchange is an
observance of the golden rule. Try
us at once and we are assured of
your continued patronage. We have
gone to the expense of bringing into
Tonopah the plant which was a ne
cessity; we can give you as good
work as you can get in San Fran
cisco; better than you can get any
where else in this state.
Give us a trial.
Keep the money in Tonopah.

SILVER PEAK
COUNTRY RICH
DADDY" OF THE DISTRICT HAS
MINES OF GREAT
PROMISE.

T. j. Price, who is called the
dad of the Silver Peak country" and
his son, A. A. Price, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon from their
mines in that district in charge of
one of their employees, who is III.
They intend to take the invalid TO
their home in Tulare county, Cali
fornia, to r~ecuperate.
In speaking of the district the
elder Price said:
MY son and | were the pioneers
of the district and made the first
locations. That we are satisfied
with 1t Is evidenced by the fact that
we have remained there continuous
~ since making our first location.
We put the Miner-Gunn Investment
company of Reno next to two claims
lying adjacent to our properties and
that corporation is doing some ac-
tive work toward developing its
holdings.
Our own claims, called the Col
den Silver Peak mines, are looking
very we'll. We are employing twelve
men at present, and have a shaft
down 200 feet with side drifts
amounting to about 700 linear feet.
At a depth of 100 feet we struck a
fault in the shaft and stayed in 1t
for thirty-flve feet, but we are
through II now and have caught up
the vein again which looks better
than II did before 1t faulted. 1t is a
little over foHr feet wide and carries
an average of so per cent in lead,
twelve unces in silver and Sc in
gold. We have done no stopping, as
yet. but we have over fifty tons of
shipping ore sacked. We thought
we had a pretty good property at the
surface and feel greatly encouraged
that the developments prove the vein
better the deeper We go, so we will
keep on going. We have twenty-six
claims, in with a surface area Of 440
acres and every claim shows good
values at the grass roots. Like all
Nevada districts, Silver Peak is in
It's infancy. So much has been ac-
complished in a short time that 1t is
difficult even to guess what future
developments win bring forth. Our
claims are not alone in showing bet
terment with depth. Every claim
that has any indications of value at
the surface gets better as work
progresses. We ourselves are well
equipped with hoists and all the
necessary machinery for deep work
and IL we are not most grossly dis
appointed in our hopes as soon as we
get stopping ore we will become a
producer on no small scale.
within the past week we have
made another discovery that will
mean a great deal to that district
WHeu 1 tell gOu dbOut ~ JON PAN'
ably will designate it as a big hit OF
"wahoo" business, but 1t is as neal
the truth as we know it at the pres.
sent time" This was said by the
, younger Price. while prospecting
: about three miles toward Silver
| Peak from the Golden Silver Peal
group we discovered a ledge eight
feet wide and traced it across sew
: eral claims. For 100 feet in this
! ledge there is a small stringer eigh'
Z inches wide from which we tool
1 samples and brought them to Tono
t pah for assay. You will notice tn
returns, $653.60, $1.270.72, $S4S
a s2S2.SO, s19S.20, $3.50 and $50

GREENWATER IS

MALCOLM MACDONALD AND
LEWIS PARKHURST ARE
GRATIFIED.

Malcolm l.. Macdonald, who re
turned Tuesday night from the
Greenwater and Death Valley
try with Lewis Parkhurst, as noted
in yesterdays Bonanza, speaks very
encouraglngly of the prospects of
that camp. He said in part:
The G%reenwater country is look
ing well. Upon the properties of
the Greenwater Consolidated Copper
Mines and Smelter Company six
shafts are being sunk. One is at
the 40O-foot level, where We are
prosecuting, and three others are
approaching the 500-foot level, while
two more. recent ones, are progress
ing rapidly with all the machinery
necessary for deep sinking upon the
ground. l consider the outlook for
the future very bright.
"a new bank building is being
erected in the town of Greenwater.
1t will be occupied by the Green
water Banking Corporation.
ITO get back home. The first car
of freight to come over the new
Coast route via Beatty will contain
the bank fixtures for the Nevada
First National Bank. The car left
Los Angeles April 13 and was rushed
through at our particular request.
1t is at Beatty now and will come
through to Tonopah upon the first
train that leaves Beatty for the
north"
