SECURES HUGE
BLOCK OF STOCK
CASH BOY LEASE
IDAHO MINING MAN BECOMES
INTERESTED IN ToNoPAH
MINING PROPERTY

After spending a few hours look
ing over the mining workings of the
Tonopah Mining & Leasing company,
operating a three-year lease on the
Cash Boy property, A. S. Ross of
Idaho, prominent in railroad and
mining circles of the northwest, has
acquired large interest in the leas-
ing company Ross visited Tonopah
Sunday with f. II. Mead, secretary
Of the company. and that afternoon
inspected the workings of the lease
hold and also the Merger property
AT the conclusion of his trip Of in
spection he acquired the interest in
the property securing a huge block
of stock.
The shaft being sent down by the
company has attained a depth of $40
feet and a decided change in forma.
tion has resulted. Small assays are
now secured from the rock being
trayersed, which is impregnated with
quartz stringers. That the company
will strike the continuation of the
Merger vein is the belief of all min
ing engineers who have examined
the two properties.
