INTERESTS AND MEANS LEAD
STACK At NEW SHELTER.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-In addition
to +. NJ. Smith and c. b. Sebirski,
president and secretary of the TOno-
pah n TideWater railroad, there is
associated with VIM. Il. Thompson i'm
the arrangements for construction of
the new railroad from Ely to Gold
field, NJ. Il. Bernheimer. 1t is under-
stood that these gentlemen have COM
pletcd the financing of the PROPOSE
ton and that they are now ready to
engage i'm the actual construction OF
the line, surveys for which have been
i'm hand for some time.
The association of the name of MIR.
lbernheimer with the new railroad
enterprise lets i'm some very Interest,"
ing light. He is known as IL miliiOn-
aile who has expended large sums
of money in the development of
properties in the Tybo and Reveille
districts, and as an associate of the
Schwab, Gillies, Malcolm Mcdonald
crowd, all more or less affiliated with
fiildi anu SoIc-ItNQu
eSts.
Mr. Bernheimer's active associa-
tion with Nevada mining interests at
present is as vice president of the
Nevada Smelling & Mines Co. This
company holds the big lead-silver
properties of Tybo and Reveille. In
terested in these are Messrs. Schwab,
Mcdonald, Gillies and associates.
These same gentlemen are also inter-
ested in Tonopah properties, and it is
fact very worthy of consideration
that Mr. Smith is very heavily inter-
ested there, having the West End,
MacNamara properties, all large pro-
ducers and at the present time ship
ping their ores to Salt Lake, haul
that is several hundred miles longer
Ely district.
From this it will be gathered that
the arrangement for the construction
of the new road is one that all the
parties at interest are concerned with
from the standpoint of actual service
desired for the benefit of mines they
have; also that this service would not
be complete without the presence
here of custom smelter, equipped
not only for copper and gold ores but
also with a lead stack. And it may
be mentioned that lead stack in
operation. in this district would bring
about boom in the development of
nearby lead territory and in the re-
sumption of production by many old
time lead properties that would mean
q in, ms far Of m
ed mining activity in big area of
nearby territory, including Hamil-
ton, Cherry Creek and a number of
other camps.
In connection with the association
of Mr. Bernheimer with the new deal
it will be recalled that Bert Rusk,
superintendent of the Bernheimer
properties at Tybo and Reveille, and
Charles Kirchen, general manager,
were here last summer. 1t is also
significant that Mr.. kirchen is
brother of the general manager of
the big Montana and the Tonopah Ex-
tension mines at Tonopah and the
Montgomery Shoshone at Bullfrog.
These gentlemen were here for the
avowed purpose of sizing up the sit
uation and to inspect the route of
the railroad survey between the city
and Tonopah. They visited Hamil-
ton, Muncy and practically every
other mineralized district along the
way, and it is known that their visits
to these were for the purpose of ex-
amining properties with intention of
acquiring holdings all along the line
of the proposed railroad. The con-
clusion to be reached, in the light of
late developments, is plain.
