DOING GOOD WORK IN
AUSTIN MINES

W. j. Douglass, a principal own
er and n of the officers Of the To-
nopah Midway Mining company,
made a trip of inspection through
the workings of the Austin Manhat-
tan company and gave Editor Ha-
worth of the Reyeille the following
interview:
tits a great work they have done
in the tunnel. We saw the station
and the machinery installed there
and ! have seen no better work any
where. This company is certainly
going about developing Austin in
the right way and has entrust-
ed the work to the right men. 1t
Is good mining and l would be glad
to make another trip under Lander
Hill when the Frost shaft is down
three or four hundred feet. You
know some Of Jul best ore bodies
in Tonopah have been opened up at
1900 feet. / see no reason why
the Austin ores do not go as deep
as the Tonopah lodges.
81 can e that your operations
here are just at the interesting
point. | went into the north cross
cut to see a new false set designed
by Mr.. Hume to handle the heavy
ground. ! was very much taken
with the idea and will be prepared
to make s of the scheme in our
mines If necessary, as Mr.. Humes
kindly gave me drawings OF this
which he calls a swinging set
while in the north crosscut I
saw the vein on which stopping OPP

HAMMOCK Is NAME OF
NEW NEVADA CAMP

Bannock, which is in Lander
county, Nevada, near Battle Noun
tain, is to be the name of the new
city which grew up the other day
when people heard about the gold
that w. S. Wilhelm was quietly dig
ging out Of the ground at the mouth
of Philadelphia canyon. While the
camp goes on, adding new inhab-
itants daily, and a noise like a boom
pervades and agitates the ether,
Mr.. Wilhelm says nothing, but goes
nochalantly taking out and sack
ing the gold with the naivette OF
one engaged in the most ordinary
and commonplace employment.
So rich has the ledge become that
1t was considered necessary on last
Monday to place a guard over 1t
commissioned as a deputy constable.
Wednesday of this week an armed
guard accompanied Mr.. Wilhelm to
town with a load of the ore in an
automobile. The treasure brought
in was said to have been valued at
10000.

GEORGES CANYON LEASE

Jack Myles, of the Myles and N.Y.
ers lease at Georges Canyon, came
in from that district Sunday lie
states that the canyon is bound to
be one of the best camps in the
state and at the rate development
work is being done, startling lis
%coveries should result in a very
short space of time.
On the property in which he is in
terested, Mr.. Myles said that ii the
present the lease is more thar. pay
ing expenses. This is consida, ed
quite remarkable owing to the short
length Of time 1t has been worked.
A second shipment of abou: 4 half
ton of ore will arrive here some
time this week and be forwarded to
the mill without delay.
Mr.. Myles will probably remain
in Tonopah for the winter, and his
associates viii continue the work

BIG SHOWING ON
NEVADA FIVE GROUP

The Nevada Five group consists
of seven claims and is owned by G..
Hunsaker and associates of Los An
geles. This promising group is stu
ated about $50 feet southwest from
what IS known as the Wingheld
group, which has the big showing
on the Buckhorn belt. William VI.
Hennessy, who is a very favorably
known and thoroughly reliable min
ing man, has recently made an ex-
haustive examination Of the district
and especially of this group and he
is Of the opinion that limited
amount Of development work will
place this proposition in the produc-
ing class Of gold properties.
Some stripping Of the vein on the
surface has been done and discloses
an ore shoot 10 feet wide. with nei-
Their wall in sight. The formation
is decomposed p%orphyry. This prop
.%osition can be economically and ex-
peditiously developed at consider
able depth by the tunnel system.
which is the cheapest method OF
mine operation Good paintings
have been had at the grass roots
and the strong disclosure of gold
bearing mineral at the surface is
sufficient warrant for believing that
high grade gold bearing shoots will
be uncovered in prosecuting a drift
on the vein.
Mr.. Hennessy will have the man

TONOPAH GIRL TAKES POISON
AT SAN FRANCISCO

The following account is taken
from the San Francisco Examiner Of
Mondays date:
Following a quarrel with her
sweetheart, Miss Hazel Barnes, a
stenographer, TT Grove street, left
him standing in front of her home
at I o'clock yesterday morning, and,
rushing into the house, locked hor-
self in a room and took a large
quantity Of lysol.
Luke KILLER, 101 Russ building,
the sweetheart, with the assistance
of Earl Kane and Miss Barnes step
father. broke down the door and
had the girl removed to the central
emergency hospital, She is expect
ca to recover.
Miss Barnes, with Kibhler, Kane
and Miss Coral Kirby Of 1891 O'Far-
rell street attended the nickel dance
at Pierce and Suffer streets satur-
day night. The party stopped at a
cafe on the way home and the quar-
rel that almost had a fatal termina-
ton started during the midnight
supper

GOLDFIELD BALL TEAM
WANTED GUARANTEE

There was no ball game Sunday
owing to the fact that the Goldfield
team would not leave their happy
homes until they received a guar
antee of SIS. When the Tonopah
team played in Goldfeld on the pre-
vious Sunday, a guarantee was not
mentioned for the boys from this
camp and all they were allowed was
expenses. From appearances it is
evident that the Goldfield team have
conceived the idea that their playing
is of the sort that people should pay
extra to see. That may be so, but
when the percentage of the teams
is footed up, it shows that Tonopah
has secured the pennant of south
ern Nevada.

TWO DECISIONS IN
THE SUPREME COURT

Judge Talbot handed down two
opinions today, each affirmed by the
associate justices.
The case of Henningsen VS.. the
Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad for
damages was adversely decided.
The defendant railroad appealed the
case and the petition is denied.
The second is the case of With
ers against Lotus and Davis on a
mining lease at Goldfeld, the plain
tiff sning for $4,000 damages. The
decision of the supreme court af-
firms the judgment of the lower
court, that the plaintiff is not en-
titled to damages.

HAS FAITH IN FUTURE
or SILVER BOW


f. M. Dorothy, who is largely in
terested in the Silver Bow district,
arrived in Tonopah Monday and viii
remain here for several days. Mr..
Dorothy is quite enthusiastic over
the possibilities of the camp now
that the Bernheimer interests have
announced their intention Of con-
structing the ~Ely-Goldfeld road,
which will afford excellent shipping
facilities for his home camp. For
the past three years he has had
charge of the annual assessment
work on the ground known as the
Crumley group, which was recently
incorporated under the name of the
Silver Bow Mining and Milling com
Dany. Yesterday in speaking Of the
ground he said:
Con the Black Bear claim a shaft
was sunk so feet on a big dyke, but
owing to the dyke pitching back,
the ledge was not encountered.
Last year we drove a tunnel in the
dyke and encountered ore that will
average between $50 and SIS to the
ton. in the wash below this dyke
we have secured good values by
panning.
ga shaft was sunk 93 feet on the
Blue Bell claim, which was in ore
all the way down. A dyke averag-
ing from II to so feet in width
~traverses both this claim and the
Gray Eagle claim. The lowest as.
say we ever received from the crop.
pings vas $1.30.
"On the line between the January
and Wild Horse claims we received
assays from the dyke formation
which ran from $4 to Sc to the ton
con the line between the May
flower and Nellie B. claims a shat
was sunk to a depth of 60 feet ant
the ore throughout this distance as
/ saved from so to $12 a ton. OF
the Flora claim we found ore val
: ued at $50 per ton. Last year il
sinking a shaft on the Blue Bel
claim we found ore averaging iron
$40 to $50 a ton. This shaft is Blu
2 80 feet in depth.

the Bernheimer interests have In

TELLS TALE OF FIRST

ing the first mar to ever pillow in
the state. The pillow that he used
made from wagon tires and the
work was done in the fall of 1853
at Genoa. The ranch then started
was owned by Colonel Roose and
Barnet and is now the property
of Campbell and Frey.
There were no courts in those
days and the disputes that arose
were settled by arbitration and it
was a common occurrence for two
men to go to a third party with
their troubles and have him settle
the question. Later on they elected
a justice OF the peace and his only
duties were to ~oflciate at weddings.

when the defendants attorneys were

the default failed, but upon a sec

that the judgment was improperly
