cleanup for the last half of Febru-

The Miner has received advices
that some of the administrative Off

1.-The Tonopah mining party, COM
rosed of J. Harvey Whiteman, vice
president; j. Edward Spur, vice
president and consulting engineer;
E. E. Carpenter, designer OF the new
Eden mill now being erected, and
DIR. Englehardt, a noted physician of
the state of Delaware, were arrivals
off Corn island by the steamer He
redia Sunday morning and were
transferred to the schooner Mathilda
Kelding for passage to Prinsapoka.
'They go to inspect the immense
operations being carried on at the
Eden mine, and will remain in that
section three or four weeks, when it
is expected active operations will
commence. The party will come to
Bluefields during the coming month
to take passage for the states.
"Mr. Spur, it is reported, will
make an examination of the Bonanza
mine under an option made to the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS company, a sub
sidiarly company of the Tonopah
Mining company of Nevada, which
has taken over the Santa Rita prop
critics, and will, it is said, acquire
other belts in that zone.
with the Eden, the Santa Rita
and Bonanza under one management,
and with the Constancia Consolidat-
ed, Incorporated, the Lone star and
the Cancordia all running to their
capacity, one cannot but observe that
Nicaragua is coming into her own,
for these operations are but a COM
mencement. The available field even
then will have hardly been touched"
Mining operations at the local
property have proceeded on practi-
cally the same scale hat has been
shown in preceding reports. The
footage made during the past week
totaled 2SS feet. OF this amount,
50 feet was recorded at the Mizpah
workings; in the Silver Top sec
etion of the mine, "a feet was &C
,omplished, and at the Sandgrass
shaft, 100 feet.
Several pieces of old work were
discontinued, the showings not JUS
tifying carrying on the operations at
such places, and in lieu thereof 9th
er work, calculated to produce more
satisfactory results, has been COM
menced.
The report of mill operations foc
the week ending March 3 shows that
an average of IS stamps were kept
dropping and that FLAG tons of ore
were milled, averaging $13 in value.
At the Silver Top workings on
the $40 level, some new york las
been started in the way of cross
cutting TO the south in search or
tie extension of the BurrO NJ. a
vein. In previous times there had
tosn considerable stopping done On
this vein at the dept ment'Cncd,
but owaTd the east very little YORK
has fien done, and it is the prc-
rose # this new cross3ut to gate
the possible continuation of the ore
body.
On the e4O-foot level, operaIi ne
were continued during tie Wc"k
in G4S crosscut, which had Teen 60
ing out in the footwall of the Burro
No. 4 vein. Tie pOiit at which It
passed through the vein was barred
of values; therefore a raise has
been started toward the bottom Of
the stope which was worked above,
Besides having the possibility of en-
countering an extension OF the vein
below the stope workings, the raise
will be utilized as a chute for hand
ling the ore from the stope. Work
in raise 644 was also discontinued
during the past week, there having
been no improvement shown ove'
the conditions reported previously.
The stopping work on this level
continued in the usual on
the South Dipping vein and the
Burro No. 4 vein, with little change
at either place. Both the slopes are
proceeding against practically the
same faces that were reported in
our last weeks issue, that is, 4 to
5 feet of milling grade ore. Their
is also some raising work being
dom at the eastern end of the South
dipping vein, which will tend u
show whether the vein has an east
ern continuation at this level.
