VAST RESOURCES OF
THE TONOpAH MINES

kala Consolidated Copper company at
Shasta county, California, with
which concern a contract has been
signed for the treatment of the Mac
Namara high grade.
Throughout the mine the usually
aggressive work was continued and
the workings are fast exposing ex-
cellent ore bodies. The company is
now contemplating increasing their
hosting equipment and also Install
ing a larger air compressor.
The ore extracted was taken from
No. 5-B stope in the westerly work
ings of the 20O-foot level where an
average of four feet of milling ore
is being broken. The winze being
sunk at a point about $50 feet west
of this stope, is also contributing to
the shipments from a three-foot
ledge, as is the upraise and stope in
the westerly workings of the 800
foot level.
No ore has been extracted from the
275-foot level during the week, as
two important points Of development
work is under way, necessitating the
handling of a large amount of waste
No stopping will be done on this leve
for several weeks yet. In addition
to the development here, work is il
progress in both the westerly section
of the 200 and 300-foot levels ant
some very good ore is being opened
up in the later workings.
The vein to the southeast OF No
10 stope, 300 level, which has beef
%faulted on this level. was encounter
ed during the week by an uprais
from a south crosscut. The vein a
the point exposed is low grade Il
value.

ing under way the sinking of the
shaft was discontinued for the week,
but il will be resumed within the
next day or two. The inflow of wa
ter remains the same, which leads
Superintendent Blackburn to believe
that they + now working below the
points where the water comes in.
The Silver Top workings were ex-
tended 1875 feet. during the week,
while the Mizpah is credited with 149
and the Red Plume with sixteen feet,
a total of 291 feet. The cutting out
OF a station at the seventh level in
the Red Plume has also necessitated
the suspension of sinking for a few
days.
The l50-horsepower motor for
merly in operation at the Mizpah
hoist was replaced last Sunday with
a new n of 900 horsepower. The
old motor will be repaired and in
stalled at the Silver Top hoist.
Through the workings of the Miz-
pah, Silver Top and Red Plume.
there has been very little change
with the exception of several work
ing faces that have been discontinued
on account Of the lack of the air

In the underground workings of
the Extension the operations remain
confined to the 400 and 770-foot
levels, and is in the shape of develop
ment and exploration work.
Surveyors have been busily engag-
ed for the past week in surveying
the site for the new mill. The plans
and specifications are being rapidly
drawn up and the ground should be
broken toward the end of the coming
week. AS soon as the work of build
ing starts the plant will be rushed
to completion as It is the object of
the management to have the mill in
operation sometime during Septem-

WEST END.

The West End shipped during the
week to the Western Ore Purchasing
company at Millers 125 ions of high
grade ore. Ninety feet Of develop
ment work was done in the mine
workings.
On the first level the stope under
the Porcupine raise continues to pro-

BELMONT.

The work Of repairing the old Bel
mont shaft has been completed and
now preparations are under way 10
bail u the water, there being con
siderable in the bottom OF the shaft.
Whether this is caused by the seey
age or is from a water flow. Is not
known as this shaft has not been
worked for a number OF years. When
the workings are free from water IL
is thought that a churn drill will be
installed and a hole sunk to the
~l0OO-foot level where a drift has
been run out from the Desert Queen
shaft. After ventilation is afforded
the work of raising from this lower
point will be started.
The stope on the South vein of
the 900-foot level of the Desert
Queen shaft continues to produce the
regular amour of shipping ore from
the vein that averages about two feet
in width.
10OO-foot leyel-The west drift on
the Occidental vein shows about one
foot of good milling ore. Raise No.
l that was sent UP from this drift
shows about one and one-half feet of
good milling ore in the top.

2 east drift from the 1856 winze has
encountered the same fault that dis
placed the vein on the 1O00-foot
level and a crosscut is now underway
to determine the extent of the fault.
Stopping continues from this Level and
the usual tonnage is being extracted.
l10O-foot level-The east drift
from winze 1866 was extended the
usual distance, the face showing
about eighteen inches OF good milling
ore. The vein in the east drift No.
3, from the north crosscut No. 3
from the 1854 Wine, has been dis.
placed by a fault. Prior to faultine
the vein showed a width OF one foot
of good milling ore. The west drift
No. 2 on the same vein shows about
ten inches of good milling ore in the
face. The west stope from the 1861
winze. the width remaining about
fifteen feet and is of a high grad,
character. The south crosscut No.
from the Desert Queen shaft is beinl
pushed forward at the rate of abou
fifty feet per week and is now GU

who with Chris Weber, Jack Leehy
and G. n. Gooding are doing consid-
cradle work in the Clear creek dis
trict, which is situated in the Toi-
yabe range of mountains and about
three miles from Gooding's ranch.
They are working on what is known
as the Rowdy group of claims, which
were located in May, 1906. Lately
the group was bonded to a Mr.. Pear
son of Berlin for $25 5000, and who
is now running a tunnel to cut a
four-foot ledge which had been ex-
posed in a 51-foot shaft sunk by the
owners. This ledge will average
around $25 to the ton. Various as.
says taken from other portions of the
property have been made and aver
age from SC to $3.50 a ton.
The tunnel being driven by Mr.
Pearson is nov in about 100 feet ant
they will have to traverse about zoo
feet more before cutting the ledge
Two shifts are employed.

Max JunghandeI Comedies With the
Methods of the Bonanza.

The following letter is one Of the
many received by the Bonanza since
the publishing of the article relating
to the methods OF the Goodwin Rice
concern, and expresses the views of
one of the foremost mining engineers
of this state. Mr.. J~unghandel is
well known, not only to the people of
Tonopah, but the mining world of
the United States and is regarded as
an authority in his line. His letter
follows:
HAWTHORNE, Nevada,
May 10, 1909.
"Mr. w. w. Booth read in the
last number of your paper the article

sire to congratulate you on the able

supervision.

Nevada is bound to become the
greatest metal producer of the union,
If not of the world. Four years ago
capital, mostly owned by small inves-
tors, began to pour into this state to
share in the profits which the ex-
ploration Of its incompatible re-
sources promised. Unfortunately
there gathered in Goldfield a crowd
of fellows, admittedly clever, but
damnably constituencies, who under
the lax enforcement of the laws took
advantage of the %gullibility of the
public and ieeced its mercilessly by
the most blatant %pretenses. The
leader of this thieving horde un.
doubtly was, and still is, Simon Her

LOTS IN SLOCOMB's ADDITION
ON MARKET FOR FIRST TIME

AS will be seen in the advertising
columns of this paper the lots in E.
NJ Slocombs Addition to the city
have been placed on the market to-
day for the first time. Mr. Slocomb
who has at all times shown great
faith and confidence in the city s
growth and development. has chosen
very opportune time to market his
property The assurance of the High
Line canal by the government, the
assurance also of the Orchard Mesa
ditch construction and the proposed
construction of an interurban railway
are only a few of the eventful prof.
ects which encourage Mr.. Slocomb to
believe that his lots will meet a ready
market at this time. With these
prodigious projects well under way
and with practically a full crop of
fruit in the valley this year, the pop
ulation of the city is bound to in
crease and increase rapidly. Then
there is the ever growing tendency
for the city to move eastward, a
tendency which has been itensified
recently by the street car line run
ming along east Gunnison to Twelfth
street and also by the very pronounc-
ed increase in values that has char
acterized that section during the past
year.
The placing of Slocomb's Addition
on the market means an eastward
continuation TO Nineteenth street of
the eight residence avenues north of
White. comprising a section pecul-
iarly suited for the better class of
residences. Every one must admit
that the city is expanding in spite
of the obstacles it may have from
time to time to encounter.
The prices fixed for lots in Slo-
combs Addition range from $4,000
up. and can be bought in some cases
by paying the small sum of $500
cash and the balance in payments to
suit the purchaser.
Milne G. Milne. the real estate deal
ers, are the agents and are under
instructions to show no partiality in
disposing of the lots, but to treat all
alike on the principle of first come
