TOnOpah Mining Co.
Ever since the favorable develop
ments in the Monarch Pittsburg have
called renewed attention to the whole
western section of the camp there
have been many street rumOrs to the
effect that the Tonopah Mining COM
pany had taken over or was about to
take over, some 16 or IS claims in
the vinicity Of the Misunderstanding
owned by several different COM
panies, under an arrangement SINH
lar to that by which they are now
operating the Mizpah Extension.
Following their usual plan of not
saying anything until there is m
thing definite to say, there has been
no announcement regarding the mat
ter from the Tonopah Mining COM
pany, but it is safe to assert that
nothing decisive has been done up
to this time at least. 1t is well
known that the TOnopah Mining
always has an eye out for
a promising mine or prospect and
has-and is willing to put up-the
necessary capital for thorough and
extended development, provided it
can do so under arrangements salts
factory to the management. The
showing in the Monarch Pittsburg is
such as to warrant the spending of
considerable money in the develop
ment of other properties in that sec
ton. Under these circumstances,
therefore. it is out natural that the
former company would cast it's eagle
eye toward the west and that the
owners of the latter properties would
take a good look at the big outfit
