LEASING OPERATIONS ADD
TO ACTIVITY AT TONOPAH

/ spots Of values. The ore extracted from
the small streaks shows considerable
sulphides and it is expected to return
from $75 to 800 a ton.
Bogovich Lease.
Operations in the open cut which
have been following about a foot of
good milling ore have been suspend
ed, owing to the close approach to the
shaft, which is down % feet, and it
will be sent down to the 50-foot point,
where a crosscut will be sent out to
intersect the vein opened up in the
surface cut, which showed a foot Of
good ore in the bottom. From the bot
tom of the other shaft on this lease,
which is down SO feet, the south drift
is still following the vein exposed in
the shaft, the face showing about a
foot of milling ore. This vein had all
but pinched out, but it is coming in
stronger again.
Gillespie Lease.
The east drift from the 5O-foot point
of the Gold Hill shaft is out so feet,
the face showing the vein to have more
strength than at any time in the drift,
and also carrying better values. The
raise from this drift, 20 feet east of
the shaft, is up Is feet, and stopping
is now in progress over the drift. The
vein in the stope shows an average
width of six inches and carries values
estimated at about $45 q ton.
Dougherty Lease.
The Slopes above the west drift from
the 50-foot point of the shaft have been
carried along to the face of the drift,
about 80 feet, for a heigE.. of 25 feet,
having yielded from 5 to 10 inches Of
ore all the way. AS soon as stulls have
beer put in over the drift to catch up
the waste, the slopes will be continued
to the surface, and in the meantime
the vein will be opened up further to
the west by the drift. A considerable
portion of the vein has been stripped
and as soon as this has been taken
down the work of extending the stope
to the surface will be started.
Hubbard Lease.
Work continues in the two raises
from the 5OO-foot level, west of the
shaft, and within the past few days
a decided improvement has taken place
in the values in the quartz, both work
ings exposing about two feet of good
milling ore. In the raise lao feet west
of the shaft, which is up a distance
Of 90 feet, the top shows two feet Of
ore that will average $33 a ton, while
in the other raise, 70 feet to the east,
which is up IA feet, there are about
two feet of $50 ore in sight, with occa-
sional punches Of very high grade rock,
showing considerable ruby silver. From
present appearances this lease will soon
join the ranks Of the shippers.
Douglass Lease.
Operations at present are confined
principally to the west drift on the
65-foot level of the old incline shaft
where stopping is being carried on, the
vein showing an average width OF one
and a half feet Of good milling ore. 1t
is proposed to send a raise from the
10O-foot level, which has recently en-
countered the vein, and make con
~nection with the 65-foot level at a point
near the shaft, where some good ore is
exposed. Preparations are being made
to begin heavy extraction from differ
ent points in this block of ground, and
80 tons have already been hoisted and
placed in the ore bins.
Silver Star Lease.
The south crosscut from the bottom
of the shaft is out 10 feet, showing
about two feet of vein material, with
stringers carrying good values. After
doing some more prosecuting in order
to intersect a stringer showing up on
the surface, work will be resumed in
the shaft, which will be sent down an
other so feet and crosscuts sent out
from that depth.
