NEW incorporation FOR TULE CANYON

average value of the material, but
the results obtained in adjoining
claims owned by a company OF
Go!dfield men are we'll known, the
gravel found in shafts sunk over
80 feet by them having given high
assay returns. The gravel in the
new company's ground extends to "a
depth of from 25 to so feet. The
canyon in the part owned by the
company is from 100 to 800 feet
wide
Engineers who have examine j
the Tule placer field say that con-
ditions there are similar to the
California fields, black sand and
ihematite of iron being found in
Quantity.
The great problem in Tule cam
yon has been to handle the huge
volume of water that runs through
lit, and Hanus and Field were the
first to master this flow and reach
bedrock. The water problem was
the cause of development being
retarded in American canyon, in
the northern part of the state, for
Ia long period but when the water
finally was mastered big produc-
tion of gold resulted.
The company is incorporated for
100000 shares of par value of
10 cents each, 100000 shares of
which will be retained in the treas
|ury. 1t is estimated that the num-
Der of shares to be sold will be
more than ample to place the COM
Ipany on a good paying basis, as IL
will not be necessary to purchase
equipment and the company will
start operations free of any in
'debtedness.

DEVELOPMENT STOCK
BOOKS ARE CLOSED

Stock in the Goldfield Develop
ment company has all been dispos-
ed of, according to H. G. McMa-
hon, secretary and treasurer, and
the stock books have been closed.
1t is reported that large blocks OF
the stock have been taken by for
mer Consolidated miners and by
lessees now working under the De-
velopment company.
1t is believed the operations of
the lessees and on company ac-
count will show large shipments
and good profits for March. Smell
ter returns from shipments made
during March are being received
and present indications are that
1t will prove to have been a big
month.

HARM|LL co,
TO OPERATE
. At DIVIDE

Gerald B. Hartley of Goldfiel1
and c. n. Miller of Tonopah have
purchased the Meta and Chimney
ground in the Divide district and
have organized the Harmill Divide
Mining company.
The territory purchased compris-
es 5 acres in the heart of the dis
trict. surrounded by the. Tonopah
Divide, the Mammoth claim of
which adjoins the Meta; the Gold
Zone. Divide Annex, Hennessy and
Alto, all working on q broad scale.
1t was thought some time ago that
it was impossible to secure inside
ground in the Divide district, but
Hartley and Miller have succeeded
in securing property that endlines
the Tonopah Divide nSar where it
is said the company operating the
big Divide will sink a new shaft.
The Harmill is situated in the
most active part of the district,
where it is believed important ore
bodies will be opened in the course
of the operations now under way.
Officials of the Harmill state
that stock in the company is al
ready in demand and that indica-
tions are that this, the newest ven
ture in inside" territory, is as
sured complete success, with a
treasury that will make certain
ample funds for thorough devel-
opment.
Application has been made for
listing Harmill stock, on the San
Francisco stock exchange and New
York curb.

RAILROADS SHOW.
EXTENT OF BOOM

Through April the numb Or
of passengers carried into Tonopah
by the Tonopah & Goldfield rail-
road showed 100 per cent in
crease over the corresponding
period for a month previous. 1t
was not until March 81 that the
inbound passenger traffic passed
the 80 mark. On March 27 the
number was &c, March IS, 49,;
March 20, %; March 80, %, and
on March 81 the figure jumped
to 40. On the first of this month
there were 3S incoming passengers,
on the second, AZ: the third, 81
and today 40, making a total OF
325 from March 27 to April 4,
both dates inclusive.
While there has been a crafty
ing increase in passenger business,
the freight traffic has remained
normal and railroad officials do
not estimate that there will be an
increase in freight arising from
the passenger increase for about
80 days. In that period 1t is fig
ured that the increase in the pop
ulation of the district will COM
mence to show in larger shipments
of foodstuffs and other articles.
The mining situation at Divide
has resulted in the shipment OF
considerable building material, ma
chinery and some timbers. The
buildings being used in the Divide
district largely are being moved
from Goldfield. The machinery
used to date has been practically
all second hand, as to secure new
machinery consumes considerable
time. Stopping has not yet con-
sumed quantities of timbers on
scale large enough to be reflected
in increased railroad traffic. but a
general increase in freight traffic
compatible with expected mining
activity should reflect very shortly.
No additional car service has
been found necessary by the To-
nopah & Goldfield, but the South
ern Pacific has placed in service an
additional passenger car between
Sparks and Nina. The Tonopah &
Goldfield still has ample berth ac-
cOmmodations for passengers.
While figures could not be secur-
ed, there has been large
increase in the number of passen-
gers carried into Goldfield from
the south by the Tonopah & Tide
water railroad, also owing to the
Divide boom, and local hotels, par
ticularly the Goldfield, have bene-
fitted by this.

Goldfield people recently have
had their attention turned to Tule
canyon by the organization of the
Goldfield-Tule Canyon Placer Min
ing company to operate there on a
cpe and one-half mile stretch OF
claims in the narrower and what
is considered the richest part OF
the canyon. The directors of the
new company are f. M. Field, A
B. Hanus, Harry B. Ruhl and F. j
Hanus. The former, who is pres;-
dent of the company, Is one of the
pioneers of the .Tule canyon dis
trict, has prospected the canyon
sands thoroughly and understands
as few others the possibilities con.
tanned and the results that may be
obtained through work on a large
scale. F. j. Hanus, widely known
in Goldfield and Tonopah, will per-
sonally be in charge of mining op.
erations.
The Goldfield-Tule Canyon com
pany is going concern, q
shaft sunk at the side of the can
yon being equipped with a IL
horsepower Fairbanks-Morse hoist
and a 500-gallon Buffers sand
pump. Buildings for all purposes
are on the ground, SO that all mon
ey derived from the sale of stock
will be used for further mining. A
drift has been driven into the wash
and Tor a long period Hanus and
Field obtained excellent results IN
washing from 10 to Is tons Of
gravel daily. 1t is said that dur
ing the entire period of their work
they never secured gravel thai

RICH ORE is
OPENED IN
DIVIDE

The southeast drift on the fourth
level of the Tonopah Divide has
been advanced 160 feet from the
crosscut from the shaft. Since
the drift was started no crosscuts
have been driven and none will be
driven, according to present plans,
until the territory under where the
cross vein was encountered on the
third level has been reached. This
cross vein was opened 245 feet
from the main crosscut on the
third level, leaving IS additional
feet of drifting before it can be
entered on the lower level.
The fourth level entered on
April ore assaying 2604 ounces
in silver, with an unusually large
gold content, and is being contin-
ued in rich ore. The discovery Of
2604-ounce silver ore at this point
ON the fourth Lowell proved a sur
prise and serves as an indication OF
the results that may be expected
when the rich cross-vein is reached.
The raise from the third level
has broken into the second level
and ore of high average grade Il
exposed for the entire distance Of
100 feet between levels.
The station on the fifth level has
been completed and crosscutting
for the vein at this depth will be
started after the shaft has been
continued from 20 to 80 feet and
the auxiliary hoist moved to this
level from the fourth.
The increase in the capacity OF
the MacNamara mill has resulted

BROUGHER DRIFTING

Drifting TO -she southeast contin-
ues on the 500-foot level of the
Brougher, the ore at present as
saying about $25. Based on re-
suits obtained on the 177-foot lev
ell, it is estimated that the grade
of ore will show a decided improve
ment within 800 feet from the
main cross-cut. No high-grade ore
has been found in the drift, but
the results obtained thus far are
regarded as being satisfactory.

time II Is estimated that the con-
tact will be found, as the underly-
ing formations are believed to be
near the surface at this point. The
intersection of the two strong
veins with the contact will be ex-
plored. The East crosscut on the
252-foot level of the Nelligan shaft
continues to cut highly mineralized
seams. The west crosscut has been
advanced we'll over $50 feet.

160-foot level, where drifts are be-
ing driven.
The crosscut from the main
southeast drift on the 910-foot lev
ell of the Spearhead is well into
Merger ground, through which IT
will be driven west to the point Of
intersection of the vein with the
shale-latite contact.
Spearhead
An incline raise has been ex-
tended over 100 feet from the
southeast drift on the 910-foot
level to reach the contact. The
long drift north from the shaft is
being continued. This drift is
about 700 feet long and a raise
will soon be started from near the
face on good seam of ore. The
raise started toward the contact
shortly after the discovery of rich
seams of ore on the 910-foot level
was small and only designed to
be driven a short distance. Work
Ing conditions became such that it
was found necessary to discontiin-
ue this at height of 125 feet ami
without reaching the contact. but
the present raise is of such dimen-
isons and timbered so that it can
be continued through to the con-
tact without difficulty.
Red Hill Florence
Drifts and raises are being ex-
tended on the 600-foot level, north
of the shaft, seams of good ore
being found, and it is believed
further development on this level
may lead to the opening of an ore
body of good size and grade.
Cracker Jack
Low gold assays are being secur-
ed from a six-foot width in the
winze from the 320-foot level Of
the main Cracker Jack property
end conditions are said to be high
ly favorable for the opening of an
orebody. Decided improvement
occurred recently. Exploration OF
the Rogers vein above the 350-foot
level in leased territory in the Red
King claim of the Florence is
continuing and within a short time
drifting in the vein will be started.
Silver Pick
Crosscuts are being driven on
the 700 and 1350-foot levels of
the Silver Pick, particular import
ance being attached to the work
on the 70O-foot level, where the
crosscut is being driven into leas-
ed territory north of the famous
Hampton stope. This crosscut
will enter the Combination vein, in
which drifts will be driven.

Grandma
A drift is being driven northwest
of the S30-foot point, or bottom
level, of the Grandma. to open d
cross vein in the quartz mass. This
cross vein first was found in a
sump crosscut driven directly ives:
from the shaft and later a drift
was driven j175 feet northwest from
the shaft to cut the vein far to tn.

it. When the new drift enters the
cross vein the vein will be explored
with drifts.

French Study of War History.

Visitors in Paris have a new place
of interest in the opening of the Bibli-
otheque ct Musee de la Guerre. The
new war library and museum had it's
inception in a realization Of the i'm
portance of beginning as soon as pos
sible a collection of historic material.
Although one purpose is to provide a
permanent exhibition for the benefit
of the general public, another is the
accumulation of material from which
the history of the war may be writ
ten.
It is now known that, early in the
war, Germany began plans to attract
the historians OF the future to Berlin,
in order that they should do their
work in an atmosphere sympathetic
to Germany. The course of events,
however, has been such as to make
the cautious historian distrustful Of
German documentary evidence, and
much history will doubtless be writ
ten in the new French institution.

BOIL WEEVm SPREADING

Clemson College, September 16.-
The Division Of Entomology reports
that the boil weevil has advanced in
to new territory all along the front
line. Greatest advances have been
made along the lower half of the line
with rather rapid movement through
Berkeley, Bamberg, and Orangeburg
Counties. The weevil has not so far
been found in Berkeley County, nor in
Orangeburg County except in the low
er edge around Branchville.
The new boil weevil line made nee
essary by these advances starts in at
the lower corner Of Edgefield County
where Edgefield and Aiken touch the
Savannah River, and runs through
Aiken Norway and Holly Hill in Or
angeburg County, thence through
Berkeley County between Oakley and
Monck's Corner and touches the coast
at Bulls Bay.
The safety line is correspondingly
advanced to run through the coun-
ties of Edgefieid, saluda, Lexington,
Calhoun Clarendon, Williamsburg and
Georgetown, passing through Plum
Branch, Ridge Springs, .Leesville. Sum
merton Lanes and Georgetown En-
trance. In Lexington County the line
passes Just 10 miles south of Column
bia. Between the boil wee9il line and
the safety line lies the safety zone,
which is closed territory.
& The weevil IS advancing at about the
gress IN weevil movement is to be ex-
pected between now and frost.
