is equal in appearance at least to any
yet struck in T~onopah's mines, has been
opened on the 125O-foot level of the

The strike is in a crosscut $50 feet
north of the bottom of the shaft. When
the ledge was first touched 1t was opened
for a few feet and by sinking it was
found to be at least six feet wide.
The rock is a hard white quartz, filed
with the typical Tonopah s~ulphides. IL
