NEW STRIKE MADE IN
THE SURPRISE OF JARBiDGE

A new strike has been made on the
Surprise group of claims. which are
located near the top of Bonanza ridge
and not far from the Ajax claim on
which Hedges and Donaghue opened
two foot vein last year. says the
Elko Free Press. The Surprise claims
are owned by ]. G. Dufner. who made
the discovery about two weeks ago
on what appears to be the apex of an
ore chute. Mr.. Dufner has run in a
cut on the vein and has a depth of
about fifteen feet in the face and the
vein has widened out in the bottom
to three feet wide of good ore with
some high grade spots which show
the free gold very plainly. An assay
of some of this high grade ore gave
returns of over $1,000 per ton. An
assay of a sample across three feet
gave returns of 1920 silver and
s14S.54 gold per ton.

HISTORICAL MEMORIES ARE REVIVED
BY MINES OF THE T0NOPAH DISTRICT

The Panama Pacific exposition was
a delight for a day. an ephemeral
ecstasy. Its Tower OF Jewels gilt
tered by night and was sheen by
day. Its glory has departed. 1t has
been ruthlessly RACED, but the great
timbers that assisted the structural
steel in forming it's skeleton of
strength are to be used to produce
that which purchases jewels, the
metal commodities of trade. the rep
resentatives of value, gold and silver.
A towering gallows frame is being
erected over the Sandgrass shaft of
the Tonopah Mining company and
the massive. seasoned timbers are
none other than those that were
salvaged from the Tower of Jewels.
This recalls another Tonopah cpl
sode. Many years ago, before the
Oregon made its historic cruise from
the Pacific to the gulf and arrived
ready to go into action, and as his
tory relates, did go into action
against Cerveras fleet, it was pos
sessed of siren that was the mouth
piece of pandemonium. When it
shrieked and shrilled and groaned
and howled 1t woke up all save the
