OPERATORS
VISIT THEIR
HOLDINGS
ACTIVITY Is SPREADING OVER
GOLD MOUNTAIN
DISTRICT

George Wingfield and H. c..
Brougher the controlling interests
in the Tonopah Divide Mining
company and other properties at
Gold Mountain, a few miles south
of Tonopah, arrived in Tonopah
yesterday, and have been inspect
ing various properties in which
they are interested. The visit of
Mr.. Wingfield and Mr.. Brougher
is no surprise to the people of
Tonopah who are keenly watch
ing the developments in the Divide
district, most of whom are familiar
with the fact that very substan-
tial improvements in the east drift
at the Divide property have occur
red within the past week.
The east drift, which has been
extended for a very considerable
distance from the shaft, shows a
truly remarkable condition. Within
the past few days, 1t is reported,
the vein has been crosscut at the
extreme eastrly end of the work
ings and shows a width of about
80 feet, the entire body across
this remarkable width running
from $50 to 800 per ton.
The persistent extension of this
extraordinary ore-showing in the
direction of the Gold Zone prop
erty, whose line is only about 800
feet from the face of the Divide
east drift, has had a strong SYM
pathetic effect on activities in the
Gold Zone property and is stimu-
lating enthusiasm among the
stockholders of the latter COM
paIy.
The Divide Extension company
is also the Gene of very active
operations. Zeb Kendall. presi-
dent of the company, arrived in
Tonopah within the past few days
and has been busily engaged in re-
viewing recent operations. Mr..
Kendall is highly pleased with the
results obtained during his recent
absence and reports that shaft
sinking has proceeded to his en-
tire satisfaction.

charge of operations at the Tono-
poh Gold Reef, has a force of men
