The Homestead NJ. & NJ. Co, owners
of the famous Good Hope ground. lying
Immediately between the Quartette and
Duplex, have perfected arrangement for
starting operations on a large scale,
says the Bulletin.
The intrinsic merit of the property is
unquestioned. The next vital question
was that of finding the proper indi.
vidual to direct operations. This ap-
pears to have been solved in a most
gratifying measure. The company has
secured the services of Frank G. Brown
of Cripple Creek, than whom the com
pany feels there is no more competent
all around mining man in that state for
this position.
Cyrus Noble
Preliminary steps are being taken for
resumption of activity on a consider
able scale at the Cyrus Noble mine.
+. IL. Bryan of Redlsnds, who with
J. J. Prendergast recently succeeded TO
the ownership under foreclosure pro-
ceedings, arrived last Saturday to SUI
pervise the work. Mr.. Bryan will re-
main here at least throughout the win
ter.
A small force is already employed and
this will be gradually increased. Natur-
ally, it is the plan of the management to
start right and in a manner to assure
~permanency of operations. There is no
doubt now but that this choice property,
already equipped with a 10-stamp mill
and concentrated. will soon taxi its
rightful place among the leading pro-
ducers of this camp.
Placer Mining
The late news from the placer camp
down on the Colorado River is that the
main shaft on the Big Tom, the discov-
ery claim, is down about so feet and
values have increased to 81 to the yard.
The steady improvement gives the
greatest confidence that bonanza values
will be encountered just above hard
pan.
Waterspout Equipment
w. w. Hurt of the New York Search
light in the few days since his return
has started work on several of his prop
critics. The Waterspout claim, on the
north side of town, is being equipped
with a 12-h. p. hoist. This will do serv-
i've for considerable sinking and latera,
work until the permanent new plant is
installed and then il will be transferred
to one of the other properties.
Examining Black Rock
Professor James Sterling, the geolo-
gist of Hollywood, is this week making
an examination of the Black Rock and
Hillside groups-the Spitall properties
in the Crescent district. The mill site
is at Morgantown. The Brown olman
company are just finishing the survey.
Much is 1901 expected at this prop
erty, owing to the enormous size of its
surface groupings of ore and also the
announcement from the company that
its finances are all in shape for extended
operations.
The Nevada Victor is the new cor
porate name.
Installing Pump
The Lloyd-S earehlight company,
which is putting in a stamp mill at
Camp Thurman, has bought the Cornish
pump of the Colorado company. Lew
Sherwood started the transfer of this
Saturday and the hauling will complete
about the last of the extensive and
varied line of new equipment. The

The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldheld railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted Of 80 tons from the Tonopah
Extension and 2o0 tons from the Mae
Namara.
The Tonopah company sent 5000 tons,
the Belmont company $50 tons, the Mon.
tana-Tonopah 1913 tons, the Midway 100
tons, the MaeNamara l00 tons, West
End $50 tons, and Jim Butler 12O tons
to the mills, making the total shipments
for the week to the mills 1858 tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was 5,243 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued at
500 a ton and the milling ore at S25 a
ton) of s141, 225.
Tonopah Extension
As forecasted in the Miner, the re-
port of Henry Krumb was read at the
postponed meeting of stockholders of
the Tonopah Extension Mining com
pany, held yesterday in New York, and
his report verified the one made by
President Gillies and General Manager
kirchen at the annual meeting held last
May. In fact he places the mine in
even a better light han did the Of
ficials. This is a complete vindication
of the management of the property and
stamps the Tonopah Extension as one
of the biggest mines in the country.
President Donald b. Gillies, who is i'll
in Butte, Montana, and General Man
ager John b. Kirchen have each re-
ceived kilograms of congratulations
from Chas. NJ. Schwab and NJ. r. Ward,
both of whom took important parts in
the movement to have an Independent
report, which resulted in the appoint
ment of Henry Krumb. The meeting
was again postponed for 80 days, in
order to give them time to transact
some important business.
Tonopah Mining
An immense amount of prospecting
and development work is going on in
the claims owned by this company. In
places crosseuts are being run
on the several levels above the 600, and
the result of some of the work is very
encouraging. During the past week
1902 feet of new ground was broken
in the Mizpah claim and 1929 feet in
the Silver Top claim, making a total of
293 feet. The Mizpah shaft is being
sent down &c fast as possible, and the
bottom is now down 1,2101A feet, an ad-
vance of Is feet for the week, and still
shows dacite. No change in formation
is expected in the shaft for at least an
other 100 feet, as the character of the
formation has already been learned to
that depth by the sinking of a drill
hole some time ago. No new ground
has been drilled from the bottom of the
Red Plume shaft, as they have not yet
drilled out the cement filling, which was
made necessary by the caving character
of the ground. 1t is expected that the
drill will begin on new ground early
next week. The main workings of the
mine, where the bulk of the ore is com

ing from to keep their 100-stamps mill
running. show no change. The slopes
continue to produce the regular tonnage,
and show the ore bodies to be strong
and well-defned. For some time past
they have been shipping in excess of the
capacity of the mill, which is a little
over 1880 tons per month, in order to
accumulate a sufficient amount of stock
ore, which will be kept on hand so that
the mill will run steadily should there
be a mishap or b~reakage at the mine
which would interfere with the regular
production. Having the necessary
amount of ore now in stock at the mill,
the shipments from the mine will here
after be held down to the capacity of
the mill.
MacNamara
The wonderfully rich streak of rich
ore reported last week as being encoun
tered in No. 3 stope from the 275-foot
level is showing up just as strong as
when first discovered. The ledge in the
back of this stope is ) feet wide, 2 feet
of which will run into the fancy figures,
while the balance is a high grade mill
ing product. For the present all work
is confined to the easterly workings, ow-
ing to the lack of power to run more
machine drills, which handicap will
soon be remedied by the installation of
a new and more powerful compressor.
When work ceased in the westerly end
of the property on the 30O-foct level
strong, and well defined ore bodies were
exposed, especially in the easterly end
of No. / stope, where the ledge aver
aged nearly 6 feet wide for the full
height of the stope, which is 125 feet.
A fine body of ore was opened up in the
winze from the 300-foot level and was
producing a good tonnage of high grade
milling ore, when the miners were trans
ferred to the easterly workings. In the
No. / stope from the 275-foot level the
back is full of high grade ore, none of
which is being mined at present. The
ore now being extracted is coming from
No. 2 and No. 3 slopes from the 275-foot
level, in both of which the vein shows
up strong and rich.
West End
Superintendent Corkill is pushing mat
tiers connected with the mine as fast as
possible. This week plans were pre-
pared and bids asked for the building of
the new ore bins at No. 2 shaft. These
bins will be 20 feet higher than the
present landing and have a capacity of
$50 tons, and will be built $50 feet
north of the shaft, being connected by
~trestle. The plans show that the ore
will be dumped directly upon grizzlies
4 feet wide and IL feet long, set on an
angle of 40 degrees, the fines going di-
rect to the main ore bin, while the over
size will go to a supplementary bin,
from which it will be drawn on sorting
tables and sorted and then dropped into
the main bin, making gravity do most
of the work.
Throughout the mine good progress
is reported, the ore bodies exposed
showing good strength and values. The

shaft stope % feet above the level,
making one large stope 20 feet wide and
so feet long, exposing al ore body vary
ing from 10 to 20 feet wide, all of which
is sent to the mill with little sorting.
Some of this ore carries fancy values
and is plastered with ruby and argen-
tite.
Belmont
As work progresses in the big mine
the management has more and more
cause for eongratulation, as the outlook
for future production never looked bet
ter. And what is better still is the fact
that the big ore bodies being opened up
are below the l,0O0-foot level, thus prov
ing that the ore runs to great depth.
Again, one of these ore bodies is north
of the famous Mizpah fault, which gives
proof of the existence of ore in a section
which had been prophesied as barren.
This ledge has already been opened up
for over $50 feet along the west drift
on the north side of the Mizpah fault,
and there is now exposed in the under
hand Slopes 4 feet of the richest ore in
the mine. A station is now being cut in
which to install a hoist, when sinking on
this vein will be pushed. The Wine on
the big vein on the 1,000-foot level is
fast approaching the point from which.
prosecuting will begin, when the man
agement will be enabled to get some
idea of the size of the ore body. This
Wine has been in continuous ore for the
past 100 feet, and has just left the
ledge on it's dip, bottom being in por-
phyry. Considerable prospecting work
is being carried on at various points in
the property, a total of 121 feet of new
ground having been broken during the
past week. This is lighter than usual,
owing to the occurrence of some minor
breakdown, which interfered somewhat
with the work.
Montana
Owing to a break down in the crusher
house of the Montana onopah Mining
ompany the run of the mill was con
siderably lighter this week than usual,
the number of tons treated being re
ported as 1888. A similar accident oc-
Cured last week, but it did not effect
the output of the mill, as there was suf-
ficient crushed ore ahead, but this Sec
ond break coming right o nthe heels of
the first, with the supply of crushed ore
well exhausted, seriously inter-
fered with the mills output, as the
stamps were hung for some little time.
Everything is now running smoothly
and the mill continues to do excellent
work. returning an extraction of over
90 per cent. Throughout the mine the
regular work is going along very salts
factorily, the principal portion of which
is devoted to dey elopment and prospect
ing. the management having determined
upon an extensive plan on these lines.
In the older workings of the mine the
slopes are yielding the usual tonnage,
and show the ore bodies to be holding
ont in strength and value.

ends.
."I am sorry that the school buildings
are I'm such a bad condition" Capt Oyster
said this morning. But the board has
known that many repairs were needed
in the buildings for some time. We know
that we inherited many buildings in poor
condition, and this was discovered soon
after the board took charge Ever since
that time we have been trying to put
them in better shape. and l have inspect

NAVAL BILL REPORTED.
Senate Committee Leaves Battleship
Clause Unchanged

No change viii be made by the Senate
in the House program providing for the
building of two battleships. The Senate
committee on naval affairs today took UP
the naval appropriation bill. and reported
it to the Senate. The committee decided
not to follow President Roosevelt's recon-
mendation for an appropriation to build
four battleships. and to leave this item
just as it was agreed upon in the House.
In regard to Golfers q provision was in
corporated requiring that one of those
authorised must be built on the Pacific
coast. which means that 1t viii be con-
structed at Mare Island navy yard.

listed men and non-commissioned officers
Of the navy and % per cent increase in
the pay OF officers. making necessary an
additional appropriation Of 1880. 600 was
agreed upon. The Lodge amendment for
the purchase Of three GOLFERS. already
constructed. was adopted and the amount
to be paid was fixed at $500. 600 each. A
provision was added. however. leaving 1t
to the discretion Of the Secretary of the
Navy whether tho purchase shall b.
made. Another important amendment pro-
vides for the establishment Of a naval
