FROM NEWLY INCORPORATED
PROPERTY

Returns from shipment of ore
from the Willow Greek district were
received in Tonopah today, and dis
closed the fact that the shipment
netted the owners of the property
$3.50 gross to the ton. The ore
was from the strike recently opened
up by Dave Jenkins and Chas, Lamp
son, news of which created small
stampede from this section.
The property has been incorporat-
ed and is now known as the Willow
Creek Mining company. Zeb Ken
dali has been named as president,
Banovich, secretary and treasurer;
and J. j. Vignolo and Ed Bevis, di-
rectors.
The company owns group Of six
adjoining claims. But two holes
have been sunk on the ledge that
shows on the surface for a distance
of 300 feet. The hole from which
the ore was taken has been sunk for
IS feet and the sides and bottom
are all in ore From this hole the
owners have secured gross returns
