WILL SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ABANDON THE CUTOFF?

In view of the fact that Superin-
tendent Manson of the Salt Lake di-
vision of the Southern Pacific rail
road via Terrace and Old Promon-
tory, the following from the Ogden
Standard is somewhat ambiguous.
Many people believe it to NEAR that
the Southern Pacific company is be-
ginning to fear the cutoff across
Great Salt Lake.
"a party of Southern Pacific sur
veyors are working north from
Monument on the old Kelton-C orinne

ignorance as to the nature or pur-
pose Of the engineers, they admit
they are at present engaged in run

RICHoRE is A
NEW NORTHERN
MINING DISTRICT

Richore is the name of the camp,
twenty-five miles south Of Winnie
mucca, which was the scene Of a SEN
sational strike last Friday. The
strike was made on the Philadelphia
property, owned and being operated
by the Nevada Metal and Explora-
ton company. Samples of ore we're
brought to Winnemucca by f. C.
Butler, superintendent of the com
pany, and assays of the ore showed
1t to carry values of 1850 per ton in
gold. The ore is Of the picture
variety, beautifully tinted with bro
miles and chlorides, relieved by
splotches of brilliant gold, ~sylvanite
and brittle silver. The mines are
only seven miles southeast of the IA
nous old Dun Glen, now known as
the chafey.
A number Of prominent Winnie
mueca gentlemen have arranged to
go to Richore next Wednesday to
inspect the property from which the
high grade ore is being taken. The
officers of the company state that
men are vigorously at work taking
out and sacking high grade ore for
shipment from the Philadelphia hill.
Heretofore the conservative policy OF
the company prevented publicity OF
their operations, but reports of the
rich ore and extent of the showings
attracted leasers and buyers of town
lots until now leasing and the sale
of lots has as If by magic developed
almost into genuine boem.-Hum-

Men Are En-
fhuSidStiC Over the
Showing at Glendale

Every auto returning from Ellen
dale is loaded with mining men who
are enthusiastic on the great show
ings of the baby gold camp of Ne
vada. One thing noticeable the chug
cars go out loaded and return with
only one or two passengers, most
people remaining to see the discovery
and to carefully look over the new
district.
Malcolm Mcdonald, the mining
engineer, visited Glendale yesterday
and is highly pleased with what he
saw. He says he witnessed the pan
nings of small pieces of quartz rock
broken from the ledge, which we're
barren of gold to the naked eye, but
after being reduced to pulp In the
mortar and washed showed paintings
that were phenomenal. Mr.. Mac
donald said:
There is no use of me telling you
that the string of gold in the pan
would run away up in the thousands,
but It would. | have seen some great
paintings in my time, but Glendale
is the banner of all of them.

Near the middle of this vein is
the most wonderful streak of ore
ever discovered on the surface and
also near the supposed hanging wall

size and richness. These streaks are
visible for fully twenty feet along
this great ore shoot, and they vary
in width from three-eighths of an
inch to one and one-half inches, and
are from As to so per cent gold.
Careful sampling of the vein in two
places forty feet apart excluding the
two phenomenal rich streaks give re-
turns of $1,000 per ton. The quartz
along this great shoot is literally full
of gold, and what little development
work that has been done has proved
that the ore shoot is $50 feet in
length and unknown width. Practi-
cally no work has been done any fur
liner along the ledge, but good values
have been secured 1000 feet from
this ore shoot.

DIVIDING THE BULLION
AS TT COMES OUT

RENO, June 17.-In the case of
Gamble against Hanchett, involving
certain profits of the Pittsburg Sill
yer Peak Mining company, it was
agreed today, at the suggestion of
Judge Pike, that a man shall be
stationed at the mill of the company
as a representative of the court, and
divide the bullion as 1t comes from
the plant, eleven-fifteenths to go to
Gamble and Chadbourne and the
defendant Wrights, and four If
teenths to go to the defendants. This
allows the company to proceed with
its operations and avoids the neces-
sity of a bond being filed.
Edmond Jusson. general manager
of the company, was summoned as
a witness to tell the court the pro-
duction OF the mine for the past
seventeen months and its probable
production in the future.
According to the testimony given
by Jusson the total production Of ore
in tons of the mine during the past
seventeen months ending April 80,
was $159,996, and of this amount so
per cent was extracted from the Blair.

MATTER OF TINE
BEFORE GLENDALE
IS BIG PRODUCER
Dick Walker Believes District to Con-
tain Many Lodges that With De-
velopment Will Give Startling Re-
turns.

D. H. Walker, the well known
mining man, who is one of the pio-
neers of the Glendale district, is in
from that camp, and is quite enthus-
iastic over the possibilities there. In
speaking last evening of the forma-
ton that exists around the new
camp, Mr.. Walker had the following
to say:
After three weeks OF studying
the great mineral belt of Glendale,
located thirty miles east Of Tonopah,
| am more than convinced of the
possibilities of this camp,
1T is possible to advance a theory
as to the exact formation of this
wonderful camp at present, but to
say exactly would be fo~olishness. We
know we have the granite, diorite.
andesite, rhyolite, monzonite and
basalt. Ellen hill, upon which is To-
Gated the phenomenal strike is
probably an altered andesite, and in
places highly silicifed. Owing to
such small amount of work being
done along the strike of the vein 1t
is hard to say the exact dip and
strike of the vein, probably north SIS
east, and dipping to the south and
east rs degrees. The quartz IN the
vein is a porphyretic quartz from six
to eight feet in width, although at
the present writing impossible to tell
the exact width, as the hanging wall
of rhyolite has not been found. The
footwall is an andesite. and on this
andesite footwall is a well defined
streak thoroughly stained with an

ORE BUYER TELLS
OF MILL ADVANCE

There was a time when Tonopah
and Goldfeld shipped generously Of
their crude ores but this ceased
when mine operators concluded that
it would pay to install milling plants
instead of paying what they termed
exorbitant railroad rates to he
smelling centers. Now every effort
Is being turned toward reducing the
gold ores to a condition as near bull
Hon as modern m%etallurgy can ac.
complish 1t, and that this policy is
noticeable is vouched for by Charles
Snyder, general manager Of the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
Mr., Snyder stated yesterday to the
Tribune that the mines OF Tonopah
and Goldfield are shipping but a
small per cent OF their ores. every
thing being milled.
In Tonopah, for instance. he
states the daily production is about
900 tons of ore, and moi over Aftv
tons of this are shipped direct to the
ore markets, all the rest being mill
ed. In Goldfield the daily production
Is from $50 to 1000 tons. and not
over fifty tons of this are shipped d.
rect to the smelters. The main
trouble in Nevada from the ore pur-
chasing standpoint is that there are
few districts of the merit of Tonopah
and Goldfield, although other cool
camps are s%pringing up and entering
the production columns.
Mr.. Snyder says that Hawthorne
Is sending out a good daily tonnage.
and the Pioneer district near Bull
frog is shipping from sixty to seventy
tons Of ore daily.
About thirty-hve or forty miles
from Nevada City IS the famous old
Allegheny mining camp, one with
a fine history of production behind
1t. Within the past few months
three new properties have been oper-
ated, whlch 0 to be reeord-break-
ers. Mr.. Snyder mentions one. the
Sixteen-to-One property, which is
finding some marvellous gold ore. It
Is, he says, the same typical Califor-
mia white quartz rock filled with free
gold, being beautiful ore and natuf-
ally very rich as we'll. Much tellur-
inm also is being found in this rock.
When asked as to values. the owners
carelessly give the range of values
from 100 to $50 ounces Of gold per
ton Just as If fifty ounces one way
or the other really made no differ
ence whatever. Since tine first of
last April, this old camp newly re-
viyed has produced at least $500, 600.

MISS GILBERT RESIGNS.

Miss Frances Gilbert announced
last evening that she had resigned
from the goddess of liberty contest
and asks the Bonanza to thank her
many friends who had worked in her
behalf. Her reason for not wishing
to enter the contest this year is that
of having been honored at the last
Independence day celebration by be-
ing named the goddess, she feels II
proper that the honor should fall to
some one else this year.

CITIZEN FIND is
LARGEST YET MADE
IN MANHATTAN

The report of the discovery of a
nugget valued at $3.50, published ex-
clusively in the issue of the Bonanza
yesterday has been confirmed by
President r. P. Dunlap of the Man
haitian Verde company, on whose
acreage the valuable find was made.
Mr.. Dunlap was seer yesterday aft
ernoon by a representative of the
Bonanza. Said he: Il have written
to Mr.. Giffen for a confirmation of
the story as appeared in the Bonanza
Of this morning. l am pleased to say
that / have heard from Mr.. Giffen
and he states that the exact weight of
the nugget is eleven ounces and
thirteen pennyweights, which will
place a value on it in the neighbor-
hood of $40, figuring that the gold
will u up to the average of the
yellow metal of the Manhattan dis
trict; that is, in the neighborhood OF
$l4.60 per ounce. The dimensions
of the gold piece are two and one
half by three anc one-half inches,
the largest yet found in Manhattan
In his letter to Mr.. Dunlap, MIR.
Giffen stated that the nugget was all
the pure stuff. there being no quartz
to be discerned.
AS was to be expected, the discoy-
cry has caused renewed interest in
the developments that have of late
been bringing the northern camp to
the front. For many weeks the leas-
ers have been working with results
that have been satisfactory. The
Glffen find is undoubtedly the largest
that has been made since Manhattan
assumed the airs of a placer camp.
1t naturally follows that greater ac-
tivities will result and that Manhat-
tan will assert itself as one Of the
leading camps of the state.

George Foley of Round Mountain
has returned from Glendale almost
loaded down with specimens that
make the eye water: Judge Sawle
possesses many that are extremely
rich; Curley Graham and a score Of
others display Glendale specimens
until one feels that he is not in the
swim unless he carries several dol
lars worth of Glendale ore in his
pockets.
Among the latest arrivals to speak
encouragingly of the camp is County
Recorder Puddy Grimes, who return
ed to Tonopah last evening after q
visit of several days to the Gene OF
the excitement. He voices the be-
lief that THE Wash,' as it is famil-
iarly called, will within a short time
take its place with the leaders OF
this already great section of the
state. II see no logical reason why
it should not make good is the, way
he expresses himself. 81 have spent
several days in and about the new
camp covering a great deal of the
territory in a personal examination
Of the different properties. The
showings at present are undoubtedly
the most wonderful that have ever
haan caan ou tho curfaoa IN cnpthoru
Nevada. On top of that, it is the
universal opinion of some of the
best known mining men in this To-
cality that the ore should hold its
value with depth and that the lodges
should prove Of the permanent or

GLENDALE LOOKS
LIKE A WINNER

Arrivals yesterday from the new
camp of Glendale speak glowingiy
of the various showings in the camp
that in the brief space Of a few days
has set the mining world agog. lie.
it be said here that, unlike the many
discoveries that brought the south
ern Nevada desert t. the attention Of
the world and added and are adding
their millions to the wealth OF the
world, Glendale has the unique dis
tinction of being the very first camp
that has met with the approval Of all
who have seen it.
Returning visitors bring with them
specimens Of marvelously rich ore
and stories of showings that must
at least arouse the curiosity of the
most conservative. Mine Inspector
Stuart Is one who reposes a great
deal Of confidence in Glendale. Up
on his return to Tonopah after {
visit to the camp, he stated that ths
showing vas all that was claimed fol
1t. In his opinion, the formation ant
general characteristics of the CAM
are indicative of future greatness. O
course, he can see no further in thu
ground than any one else, but, like
many Others, bases his opinion upoI
an experience in the mining fields o
the country covering a period o
many years.

$4,000 OFFERED FOR A
LEASE ON BIG STRIKE

Everybody knowing the Cliffords
and Nays believe that before many
days they will give a few leases on
the discovery claim. After they have
reserved.a block OF ground for them
selves, they will give for a consider
alton blocks to other parties. The
editor of this paper was talking to
a capitalist yesterday and he stated
that he would give $4,000 for a
block of ground near the strike.
Tonopah was made by her leasing
policy as was also Goldheld. One
producing lease opens up ore on an
other and so on down the line. Where
producers are made thousands of
dollars are spent in development and
exploration Of the entire district
and In a short time a great city has
sprung up, made and built by the
leasers.
II Is only a matter of a short time
when Glendale will be talked of by
every person in the land.
