ARE MARRIED IN SECRET
TWO MONTHS AGO

1t was learned yesterday that
nearly two months ago Miss Alma
Dennis and Bert Smith, both of this
city. decided that life apart was not
worth living and consequently en-
tered the holy bonds of wedlock.
The marriage has been kept secret
up to this date, not on account of
parental %displeasure, but for other
reasons unknown.
Mrs. Smith is II of the best
known young ladies of this city and
has many friends here. The groom
is a popular young man of Tonopaf
and was formerly with the Tonopaf
and Goldfeld railroad. AT the pres
ent the bride is in California visiting
her sister, who was recently injured
by having an ice chest fall on hel
foot, crushing it painfully. Thu
couple will make this city their fu
ture home.

The Douglass, Kendall and Nc
Quillan lease on the Jim Butler es-
tate has encountered a ledge that
bids fair to surpass any ore body
previously found in that ground.
This lease takes i'll the Wandering
Boy shaft and the operations have
been conducted from the 100-foot
level Of that mine. On Saturday the
ledge was encountered and up to
date the drift has cut into the pay
ore for four feet with no hanging
wall. Assays taken show the ore to
run from 500 to $500 and it is
thought to average around 500 to
the ton. An assay taken of the por-
phyry at this point gives the sur
prising value of $35 to the ton.

REPORTED STRIKE
At CACTUS PEAK
VALUES AT SHALLOW DEPTH
GO AS HIGH AS $1,000
IN GOLD.

GoLDFIELD, Sept. 2.-The re-
ported strike in the vicinity Of Gao
tus Peak, in Nye county, was con-
firmed by r. W. Tucker, of the Pho
neer Drug company yesterday. Mr..
Tucker has secured an option on the
property from r. S. Thompson, who
owns the ground, and who has kept
the work up for about five years.
Recently Mr.. Thompson started
what might be called an open cut,
driving the cut into the side of the
hill, where he owns five full claims.
When he had progressed some feet
he came upon the ledge which is
now yielding the promising values.
Crosscutting It for q distance OF
eight feet, he found that the whole
thing was practically ore, but here
and there streaks made their ap-
pearance which carried the free
gold, and others which PANIED free.
". Aware that he had found some.
thing Of more than ordinary import,
ance, he closed the property ant
brought the intelligence to this city
Inasmuch as Mr.. Tucker and his as
sociate, Mr.. Holman, are interested
+ within two and a half miles of tn
! Thompson ground, he informed then
, of his find, and they at once took al
. option on the block. The values, !
! is estimated; across the eight feet
/ will run around s100 to the tor
V while the rich streak will yield q
s high as 80 cents per pound.
The Thompson ground is locate
Q about twenty-five miles east Of thi
city, and six miles from Cactu
Peak. 1t adjoins the property {
the Cactus Range Mining compan,
# which has a shaft down 225 fee

man, where a shaft has been sun

low the regular amount. This de-
crease is due to the fact that the
hosting facilities are taxed to the
utmost, owing to the development
work being conducted. The under

a splendid manner and the large

CARD SHARPS TELL

And now comes the gamblers in
response to the challenge of the bar

no reputation in the ball line except
in the handling of high balls which
are barred according to Spalding.

AS each day passes by, the new
strike made on the Pizana lease on
the Jim Butler ground becomes
greater. When the day shift came
off yesterday afternoon, the ledge
had become exposed for a distance
of eight feet with the hanging wall
still in the distance.
A representative of the Bonanza
was afforded the privilege Of exam
lining the strike yesterday and in
company with William Douglass,
Charles Kirchen, Billy B%eauchamp
and several others, made a thorough
investigation Of the 10o-foot level Of
the Wandering Boy shaft.
The ledge was encountered at a
point 1876 feet east of the shaft. Six
feet from the body, the crosseut had
been started from the old drift and
it traversed but a half dozen feet
before striking the ore.
When Messrs. Douglass, Kendall
McQuillan, Epstine, Erickson ant
Cantrell secured the lease, the.
were almost positive that the ledge
would be encountered, for it crops
up strong on the surface, and is be
lieved to be a continuation of on
of the Valley View veins that ar
now being worked on the Silve
Top mine.
The ore will assay anywher

countered a porphyry zone from
which assays going s57 to the ton,
have been taken. The silver sui
phides are easily distinguished in
the porphyry and this will be sorted
before shipping. This drift will be
continued and should tap a ledge IN
about 40 feet. The groupings OF
this ledge are also easily discern
able on the surface and the trend
IS diagonal to the ledge already cut.
A force Of men were put to work
Yesterday morning on the S00-foot
level, cleaning out the debris that
has accumulated there. When this
x completed, the work of drifting
after the two levels will be under
taken. There has been no work
done on this level. since the days
when the mine was owned by a
group Of Salt Lakers, and the work
ings have been filled with the waste
extracted from the lower work
ings.
1t is probable that machine drills
will be used in the near future as
there is a ten-drin air compressor
already installed with the hoist. The
, work now underway is being done
r by hand and consequently the pro-
gress is somewhat slow.
E The strike has disclosed one Of
t the greatest ore bodies ever opened

OF the drift through the ledge is be-
ing watched with interest by nearly
h every resident in this city.

ECoMSTOCK EXHIBIT

the American Mining congress at
Goldfeld has been working indus
triously this week and will have a
good report to make at the public

is a matter in which all citizens
should take an interest and there
should be a large attendance at the

The finest single specimen that
has arrived as yet for the mining
congress exhibit perhaps is a slab

1O0-foot levi of the famous Frost
shaft, near the junction of the shaft
and the tunnel of the Austin Man
haitian mine.
The slab is some thirty inches in
length, averages six inches in thick.

The official description is "stepha

of stone, with many darker eoloret
parallellel bands. with a STEEL,
glitter, weighs $50 pounds and car
ries silver at the rate of more thal
5000 ounces per ton. The silve
fairly stands out on it, and it is
striking example of the ores tina
made Austin famous in early days
1t also represents the character o
much of the ore of the old Com

The ledge was found by starting
a crosscut from one of the main
drifts on this level. This work had
barely proceeded six feet before the
high-grade was shot into. The body
runs parallel with the main drift.
Steps have already been taken to-
ward preparing a shipment from the
h~igh-grade ledge and before long a
sufficient quantity viii be sent to the
