about twenty miles west OF Goldtied and
twenty five miles southwest OF Tonopah,
two well-kuown mining centers of Ne
vada. The exploration was made for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether deposits
of potash salts in commercial quantities
lie within easy reach OF the surface. No
extensive beds Of such salts were dis
covered. although tho salts In certain
samples Of brine contain as much as
$40 and $50 per cent OF potash CK. o..

LARGE RESOURCE IN
ALTA CONSOLIDATED
Company Has Struck Banner
Ore Body Of Very Fine
Grade Material.

On reaching the city "Wednesday noon,
superintendent a. o. jacobson OF the
Alta Consolidated company was able 10
give local shareholders some idea OF the
new developments in this Alta mine
which, Tor IL week or more past have
been reflected IN the steady market ad-
vance Of this issue The work now be-
ing done BY the management is on a
level with the bottom OF tho Brooklyn
shaft, the manas cement driving to the
west from this shaft and driving TO CON
noct on the same level from the top OF
the raise from tho lower tunnel level.
These two faces are very near each other
and connections should be made at prac-
tically any hour, AS the two forces can
hear each other at this time.
In raising from tho lower tunnel level
the MANAGEMENT opened from two to
four feet OF splendid grade ore all the
way, and when raising was stopped so
that drifting east might be done. the
western side OF tho raise showed a num-
bor OF large lime bouderS. Mr.. jacobson
had these boulders removed and at the
other side OF tho same was found some
very rich ore.
4 drift was started on this ore iInne-
diately to the west. which has proceeded
for fifteen feet ut which point d cross

Mr., Jacobson brought down with him an

Although there has been a report re-

discussion resulted. there is a conviction
among knowing circles today TO the cf-

and there are many evidences obtainable
tending 10 establish the belief that this
deal Will be consummated without fail.
1t is anticipated that the deal Will be
completely rounded out by the first OF the
year, or by the early spring at the
latest.
Those who assert 10 some inside In
forma tion in this matter state that the
deal involves tho acquisition of the Cir
