WORKING ON
SEVEN TROUGHS MINES
SPECIMEN ORE TAKEN FROM
PROPERTIES THAT MADE
BIG OUTPUT

About a dozen sets of leases are
working on the Fairview and Flor
ence properties, owned by the Sew
en- Troughs Mining company i'll the
Seven Troughs district. 1t is said
some very high-grade ore is being
taken from the workings under
lease.
The two mines have been connect
ed by underground passages. The
shafts of the two properties are
about 700 feet apart. The n on
the Florence was sent about $50
feet. A drift was run toward the
Fairview shaft, and then a wilZe
~vas sunk to the level Of the Fair
view shaft. The two were then
connected by a second drift run
from the Florence property.
1t is said some of the finest gold
ore ever taken from the Seven
Trcughs district came from these
two mines. Although the leasers
IRE said to be taking out ore suf-
titiently rich for shipment. it does
not compare with that mined during
the palmy days of those two mines.

LOCAL CASE OF
RABIES FEARED
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS
AN ORDINANCE TO MUZ-
ZLE ALL DOGS

The first case of rabies to be dis
covered in Goldfeld in the history
of the camp is thought to have been
found in a pet dog belonging to
William Baum, who lives at 1907
Oak street. The dog was actins
strangely on Friday and Saturday
and the owner decided to have Sher-
iff ingalls, investigate the dogs con-
dition. The dog vas killed n
decapitated and the head shipped to
the Nevada state university labora-
tory, wheer experiments are con-
Quoted to determine such cases.
Word is expected today or tomor-
row as to the condition of the dog,
and if rabies is determined to have
been present the local officers will
take immediate action.
The board of county commission
ers passed an ordinance at the reg
ular meeting last Saturday. author
izing the local peace officers to
shoot all dogs found on the streets
unmuZzled. Owners of canine pets
must keep them within yards from
which they cannot escape or muzzle
them. The action is in harmony
with similar ordinances passed by
nearly every county board of the
state and follows the recommended
tions made by the state rabies COM
mission.
Several dogs, frequenting the
neighborhood in which the owner OF
the suspected dog lives. are report
ed to have been more or less So
verely bitten by the dog in question
and the sheriff's office has
ed his intention of keeping the own
ers in touch with the findings OF
the state laboratory 1T Reno. Sher-
iff ingalls, announced this morning
that drastic action would be neces-
sary in case the report confirms the
suspicious of the owner and the To-
cal officers.

c. j. Gilbert was frozen 20

Charles Tarash attempted to walk
from the pebble quarry of the
American Onyx company. in Ralson

to Manhattan. Tarash's hands AMI
feet were frozen and he is in \
serious condition at Manhattan,
where he arrived yesterday morn
Jig.
Tarash staggered into the camp
in an almost exhausted condition and
as soon as he was able to talk suf-
~ficiently well to be understood. y
was learned that he and his COM
panion had left the quarry on
Friday evening. determined to walk
the eight miles to Manhattan. From
the quarry they took what is known
at the Bald mountain trail, and Aft
er a terrific struggle in the snow
managed to get to within three
fourths of a mile of East Manhat-
ten. where Gilbert fell exhausted.
According to Tarash, who himself
was in a weakened condition, he
made a fire for Gilbert and left him.
Gilbert urging him to keep on aud
try to reach Manhattan. When
East Manhattan. which consists of
a few deserted houses, was reached,
Tarash was too far gone to pro-
coed farther. and entered a cabin.
In some way he had wrenched his
back ard was suffering consiG-
cradle main. in addition to his
frosted hands and feet. Here he
remained without food until early
yesterday morning when he again
set out for Manhattan, three miles
away. He reached the camp some
hours later and told his story.
P~ercival Nash and j. F. Kryd"r
set out for the east side on SNOW
ehoes. followed by Ben Bianchi VITA

bert's body in the snow a few feet
from where Tarash had left him.
and brought the remains to MAMMAL

evening.

making the trip but they were
confident that thew were in no inn

distance in a day.
Owing to the heavy SNOWFALL,
which made it almost Impossible to
transport the tube mill pebbles to

There were enough provisions or

TONOPAH MINING OPERATIONS ARE
CONDUCTED ON SUBSTANTIAL SCALE

tecn impossible for the trucks TO
reach the ore bins.
Stopping operations are still being
continued in the blocks between the
900 intermediate level, with little
change having occurred in the work
ings, production having been main
tanned as usual.
The drift on the $50 level was ey-
tended the usual distance, and lie
tie change is noted as compared
with previous reports.
The cross-cut north from the
east drift Oh the 1900 level of the
Buckeye mine is being pushed rs
rauidly as possible. This is see
cross-cut that is being made to
connect with the Halifax for air.
When it is completed and the con.
nection made, it will be possible
for a person to go down through
the Buckeye shaft and pass through
all the mines of Tonopah and come
up through any other shat in
town.
On the 1850 level of the Cash
Boy property, while the vein in the
drift has faulted, it is considered
that this slip is not very extern
sive, and that within a short dis
lance the vein will be picked NJ
again. To accomplish this object
a cross-cut is being run from the
drift.
On the 1850 level, some drift
ing is being done about $50 feet
to the west of the shaft, but moth
ing has been disclosed as yet in
these workings.
The Rescue Eula
The usual rate of progress has
been made in the sinking operations
at the Rescue Eula compahy's shaft
and while a few stringers of quartz
have been cut there has been no
change of an unusual nature in the
operations.
The cross-cut on the $50 level
was extended the usual distance
during the week on the t~rachyte for
nation.
The leasers who are operating
on the small veins in the Montana
Tonopah continue the production Of
profitable ore from their various
workings, and shipments, which
were delayed last week by reason
of the stopping of the hoist, have
been resumed.
Progress in the operations which
are being conducted by the Tonopah
Mining company at the Mizpah Elk
tension Mining company's property

sued covering such work for the
past week it is entirely satisfactory
in every respect.
On the 1000 level, good Roadway
is being made in the matter of tim
bering the hoist station. The nee
epsary power lines have been strung
to the Wine workings and within
q short time the skip will be ready
to operate. BY means of this skip,
operations in the winze. commence
ing at the 115 level. will be pushed
ahead at a rapid rate.
Conditions at the property of the
Halifax TOnopah Mining company
are going ahead in about the usual
satisfactory manner The upraise
from the 1910 crOss-cut is also
we'll under way, and the usual dts
lance was attained. After this raise
proceeded far enough so as not to
interfere with workings in the 1919
cross-cut, operations in the last
mentioned lateral, which had been
suspended so as to enable the raise
to be started, were resumed and the
