REPORT OF MERGER
GETTING INTO COPPER

Rumors were placed in circulation in
Tonopah last night, stating that the
Merger shaft at Goldfeld had encoun-
tered copper ore at the shaft bottom. The
five feet in width contained IA per cent
of copper. Concerning the rumor, the
Goldfleld Tribune of last evening has the
following:
Reports that ore of good quality and
In large volume has been penetrated in
the bottom OF the Goldtield Merger Mines
companys st. Ives shaft are lacking in
official confirmation, although IT is said
that the most recent change In the for
nation Is regarded as encouraging and
the material now being penetrated is OF
better appearance than any that has
been cut up to this time.
II was rumored about the streets this
forenoon that the big shaft had exposed
four and a half feet Of good ore and IL
is stated that some of this material has
been assayed by persons not connected
over So per ton in sold and from Il to
is per cent copper. Specimens Of ore
said to come from the shaft have been
shown about town and 1t appears to con-
tain a considerable quantity OF gray cop
per. but no free gold.
1t has long been predicted by mining
men of experience and by eminent geolo-
sists that copper ore will be found at
great depth In this district and the con-
viction prevails that " this proves to be
the case the red metal will be found In
large quantities and extending over
wilde area,
The rumors OF this discovery in the
Merger have aroused keen interest and
have caused more excitement about the
camp than anything that has occurred
in the district for many months. 1t is
expected that the developments Of the
next few days Will have an important
bearing upon the future prospects of the
Merger and Of deep mining In the Gold
field dlstrict.-Tonopah Bonanza May %
