From the railroad to the new field
the distance is 75 miles over a fear

ANOTHER RICH FIND

OSCEOLA DISTRICT

4 rich strike is reported from the
Osceola neighborhood by recent ar
rivals from that place, Luther Will
Jams having encountered an ore body
known to be 40 feet wide and av-

Half Moon property.
In the opinion of Mr.. Tilford, who
saw some of the ore. the body has
been merely scratched by the work
done to this time. The lead was fol-
lowed from the surface, gradually
broadening as work progressed. The
ore was tapped at the depth of 100
feet in a tunnel

PLANT
FOR ELY BONANZA

So highly impregnated with cop
per is the water which came suddenly
two weeks ago in he shaft of the
Ely Bonanza Copper Co. that 1T is
now the plan of the company to es-
tablish precipitating plant to secure
the content, using both electricity
and scrap iron in obtaining results.
That a large body of ore was OPP
ened by the shot which so weakened
the wall of the drift as to allow the
water to come in during the night, is
the belief of Superintendent Bevel.
The amount of copper in the water
would seem to carry out this theory.
II was first discovered that there was
copper in the water during the fore
part of the week, when picks and
other iron tools which had been al
lowed to remain in the water for a
time were found to be copper plated.
In erecting the launders for his
preeipitating plant. Superintendent
Beyel plans to use on a large scale
a system adopted during the week
combining electrically charged water
and iron. The launders will contain
amounts of scrap iron upon which
the copper will preeipitate in form
ready for smelling. This system is
followed both in Butte and at the
mines of Bisbee.
The final decision as to the cree
ton of the precipitation tanks will
rest with Manager F. NJ. Sherrerd
who is expected to arrive this week
for the purpose of making a per
sonal inspection of conditions and de
Gliding on what shall he done about
immediate resumption of work.

MONTGOMERY PAYS
VISIT TO SHOSHONE
SAS He IS PLEASED

+. \. CBobl Montgomery, locator
and one of the owners of the Mont
gomery Shoshone Consolidated. paid
visit 10 the district the latetr part
of last week. for the purpose of TAX
ing another look at his much-talked-
of and much-abused mine-the mine
which has done more to advertise the
Bullfrog district than any other.
SAYS the Rhyonte Herald.
Mr. Montgomery is said TO have
been slated for a freeze-out in Sho-
shone stock He didn't take the
time to discuss this feature of the
situation with the Herald, but he did
say some very encouraging things
about the physical condition of the
mine. The Herald is candidly under
the impression that If Bob Montgom-
cry had hundred thousand dollars
in cold cash TO spare today he would
slap 1t all into Shoshone at a dollar
or better.
To-day | visited the Montgomery
Shoshone. and, TO my agreeable sur
prise, | found that the recent COM
ment through the papers had been
very much exaggerated. said Mr.
Montgomery. Il found from the
glory hole TO the coo level work In
progress. On the 500 level drifting
is in progress on the main vein to
the northeast, showing at the face a
decided improvement in the charac-
ter of the material and the value of
the ore, fact brought out by the
companys assay sheets, indicating a
good quality of milling ore. The
vein at this point shows evidence of
general improvement compared with
the vein on the 500 level. which. of
course, had but little development
"On the 400 level, where, accord
ing to repeated statements. no ore
exists. | found an ore body to the
southwest. of the main shaft which
has been drifted on for over 100 feet
and shows seven feet of ore at the
face, with stope started, from which
the company is already drawing ore
for the mill In addition to this,
they are drifting farther to the west
on another vein which shows a good
width of ore at the face and which,
in my judgment. is an entirely new
ore body from any proven in the de-
velopment on any of the levels above.
The mill seems to be doing good
work. and a continuation of the same
will soon put the doubling Thomases
to shame. | am sorry that ! could
not spend more time at the mine. but
received telegram while en- route
here, advising me of the serious ILL
ness of my mother in the east. and
this made my stay few hours.
rather than a few days, as | had
planned"

stop at that place.

The elimination of weak interests
from the market situation is contin-
uing. How much longer this will
require is entirely problematical. II

fears which have resumed of further
activity on the part of the govern

severely shaken. Yesterday was a
Enthusiastically dull Monday, with

medium for digestion of speculative

of fact stocks of all kinds have been

At BRADFORD SQUARE.

The military festival. under
the auspices of the Columbus
Rifiemen at the Bradford square,
given by the Lachman Hippo
drome Shows, which began last
Monday evening, is the feature
of the week. Hundreds are
visiting the seven big attrac-

ferris wheel, a merry-go-around
and many novelty stands.
The Mammoth Hippodrome is
the main show on the headway,
and Mr.. Dalton, of the West

to say of the carnival while in
their city:
This is one of the cleanest
street fairs we have ever seen.
The management are responsible
gentlemen in every way. Be

their heavy weight juggling. Mr..
Lachman catches a 300 pound
torpedo on his neck, and handles
100 pound cannon balls as easily
as though he were made of iron.
In the hippodrome can be seen
many trapeze stunts. Trained

ing show, having presented two
fierce lions, and a number of
teddy bears. Also, Miss Salina,
