TONOPAH. March 15.-The Thanks
g.yng mine at Manhattan is growing
rapidly richer. From an average assay
of $199.24 taken several days SINCE
word now Genes that the average mas
gone up to $20S. and that without any
OF the rock showing free gold to the
eye.
superintendent Mott writes to Secre-
tary Yates that the leoge has narrowed
from seven to five feet, but its richness
is increasing marVclously.
This phenomenal average is on the
150-foot level, in the east drift about
seventy feet from the shaft. IT is al
most vertically under where rich free
geld ore was found on the. surface, IN
dicating an ore shoot that can DC
stopped with immense profit.
The management of the company is
ultra conservative in making estimates
and especially in giving out news FOR
the public. All Of it's figures are on the
safe side, and unlike others inclined to
be over enthusiastic, these values are
such as will be borne out by mill runs.
IT is proving great incentive Tor ac-
tiVity in Manhattan. The people or the
camp are in the greatest state OF eX-
pectancy as a result of this f1nd. IL

CYANIDE PROCESS is NOW
MODERN SILVER METHOD

MEXICO CITY, March 15.-The OLD
patio process which formed most I'M
nortant element in mining during the
last hundred of years in Mexico is
practically thing of the past, accord
irs to Bernard Macdonald of GUIANA
juato. II,
ciual owners of the Guanajuato Con-
solidated Mining and Milling company
and is one of the best posted mining
men in Mexico. He is staying at the
hctel Iturbide, where he discussed the
cyaniding of silver, process Whlcn
owing to its cheapness has supplanted
the patio or old process of extracting
silver and is fast rendering that old
process a memory.
'"While cyaniding is not by any
means a new process 1t is only now
becoming generally known that silver
as well as gold can be treated by this
process" said Mr.. Macdonald. 1T Is
the most efficient and economical
method known for the extracting or
silver from dry or silicious ores,
which are not suitable for smelting.
"Such ores heretofore have been
treated by the patio process in Mex
ice, the cost per ton being approxi-
mately $3.50.
The cost of treatment of similar
ores by the cyanide process of modern
rlants is not more than one-fourth
nf this amount, hence the process
makes possible the treatment OF low
grade ores which it was impossible
to treat at a profit under the patio
process"

This is quick action on the property,

GOLDFIELD, March 15.-One of the
richest strikes that have been made III
the district for months past is in evil
dence on the ground being worked by
the Florence Annex company on the
Red King, one of the properties owned
by the Florence Goldfield Mining COM
pany. In an upraise from the 40O-foot
level, on Sunday, the high grade was
entered, and 1t is perhaps equal 10 any
ore in richness that has yet been found
in the camp. The extent OF the de-
posit has not yet been determined. put
clear across the face of the ore oody
showed the good value of $10l6.40 a ton.
From the high grade streak pieces of
the ore could be selected that would
run as high as $4,000.
The find is evidently the same one
where the company mined 199 tons that
netted 100000 in the upraise from the
SOO-foot level. 1t faulted, and the work
of trying to pick it up has been
costly and tedious one.
The lease has only about fifty Gays
to run, but the lessees are going 10
try to make a record this time. At
present there are fifty miners employed
on the lease, and the number VIII pc
added to from day to day as the ground
Is opened up. At the 500-foot level a
crosscut is being driven to the high
grade shoot by three shifts, and as the
mine is well equipped with machinery
fast progress will be made. In ex, exI
tending the drift at the 9OO-foot Level
few days ago a pocket of quartz
carrying a heavy coating of tale was
entered and fourteen mine carloads
of ore was taken out, which. Wnen
sampled, went at the rate of $3924 a
ton Today a fifty-ton shipment Will

SEVEN TROUCHS IS
STAGGERED BY FIND
Northern Nevada Camp Boasts the
Banner Assay of the Year.
Plenty of It in
Sight

Not since the kindergarten, then
known as the "Baby Wonder of the
Seven Troughs district startled the
district some fifteen months ago with
it's surface revelations of free gold ore
has there existed anything that can
compare with conditions that lie re-
Vealed in the bottom of the lower
winze at a vertical depth of 225 feet
from the surface, says the Seven
Troughs Miner. For nearly week the
working force in the lower winZe has
been sinking in an ore shoot that COM
pares in richness and strength with the
marvellous shoots that have made the
Seven Troughs and the Mazuma Hills
mines famous. In a fiye-foot vein is
two feet of white quartz through which
is scattered stuff that runs 100000 a
ton and better and there is enough OF
this picture rock to raise the value OF
the two feet to figures that are stag
Cering. The rest of the vein is ex-
Il emely rich and even the walls yield
psnnings that show them to be high
milling ore.
Specimens that have been shown
from this treasure vault consist of a
clear white quartz, literally peppered
full of gold and apparently as rich
as picture rock taken from the Seven
Troughs mine. No amount of precau-
tion has been able to keep the discov-
cry from the public and the town OF
Seven Troughs has experienced series
of eXcitements as stories and samples
Of the ore have been circulated.
Although the winze has penetrated
considerable distance since the first
picture rock was struck, no limits TO
the high grade have yet been reached.
The vein is Strengthening up to its per-
Inanent dip, the formation is taking on
every sign of solidity and permanence,
and the ore bearing body is showing
such remarkable strength that it is
believed one of the most important dis
coveries in the camp. Every condition
is at hand in the present level to lead
TO the belief that the Kindergarten is

NORTH STAR REPORTS
BIG STRIKE IN WlNZE

TONOPAH, March IA new strike
was reported in the North Star mine
yesterday which gives promise Of be-
ing one of the most important yet
made in Tonopah. The new ledge was
found at the bottom of winze on the
t250-foot level at distance of 542 feet
north and sixty-two feet west from the
shaft.
Superintendent Lucl<ett. in speaking
% the new discovery, said: at is pos
sible we have encountered the Nc
Donald ledge. and If 1t proves to be the
Mcdonald. the strike will be oHe of the
most important that has been made on
the lower levels of any mine III this
district. We have not as yet deJerln-
ined the width of the ledge. for the
whole bottom of the winze is in ore.
We have not received the returns from
the assayer yet, but the ore shows good
values"

report. advanced from 13 to 21 cents.

velopment work done on the proper
ties and clear a profit besides.
Other American miners began TO en-
ter the new region. William NiVen and
Jim NOLAN took up claims not far
from the Reed camp. The Mitchell
Mining company of Los Angeles took
up some copper properties near Chill
panicingo. Colonel L. A. Florea OF
San Antonio, Texas. bought several
properties from Mr. Reed and started
work.
At the height of his success Mr.. Reed
was taken ill and died. His widow
and minor son sold the tive-stdmp mill
and a number of the properties TO the
Balsas Valley company of New YORK.
/ This company has spent several nun
/ dred thousand dollars developing the
properties purchased. In one of the
o.. mines they now have ore blocked out
! to the value of $2000,000, and are PLAN
| ring to set up an immense stamp mill
to treat the ores which the small mill
is inadequate to handle.
Organize New Company
Five of the most promising proper
ties left by Mr.. Reed We're held by
the estate of the deceased pioneer
miner until the son should become of
age and finish his college course. Il
is for the purpose of developing these
five properties that. the Reed Mine
Development company" has been or
ganized. Haines w. Reed, COB san Fer
nando building, is the president of the
new concern, and W. J. Johnson, 3Ot
Crosse building, is the secretary and
| treasurer.
The new company does not plan to
operate any of the mines in question
beyond the point of developing them,
one at a time, and placing them on
the market. Some development work
has already been done and the new
company will continue the work COM
menced.
one of the properties held by the
"Reed Mine Development company" is
a gold mine. Two tunnels have beer
/ driven for short distance on the vein
/ and the ore taken out is Iabulously
rich. SO far the vein is not very wide
ranging from eight inches to a foot
but the width seems to be increasing
as the tunnels are extended.
Silver and Gold
The remaining four properties are
silver mines carrying some gold. The
veins in all of these are wider thar
in the gold property mentioned. Some
slight development work has also beer
done on these properties but not YET
sufficient to determine the real value
of the ore deposits.
Mr.. Reed, accompanied by an ell
gneer, will leave for Mexico City n
June to start the work of development
on the mines. The company is Capi-
talized at $15G,00O. only 2500 shares OF
par value of so each will be placed
on the market at the present time The
company is to be conducted on a CON
| serVative and economical plan and Mr.
| Reed, who has spent several years with
his father in the new field and is
thoroughly Conversant with the situa-
ton, will direct the work to be done.
A supply of tools, dynamite and some
