The long awaited happened yes
terday, when it became known lase
in the day that assay returns from
samples taken in the southeast
drift in the Brougher Divide had
increased to $24 at distance OF
Is feet from the main crosscut on
the 500-foot level. The best ore
was found on the footwall SIDE OF
the drift, driven in about the CEN
ter of the vein. The drift had been
turned slightly to the southwest,
or hanging wall, and the ore APP
pearing on the footwall side, 1t
was thought that full face OF
ore of good grade would be OPEN
ed by again turning the drift to-
ward the footwall, in which direc-
tion the oreshoot apparently was.
The crosscut, driven southwest
from the shaft, entered the foot
wall of the vein and had not reach
ed the hanging wall yesterday,
work having been delayed by bad

ground, making timbering neces-
sary.
This discovery proves ore in
the main vein of the Divide dis
trict 1900 feet northwest of the
extremity of the Tonopah Divide
oreshoot in this direction.
This is the brief history OF
what may be considered the Sec
ond and most important develop
ment in the Divide district, the
making of mine aside from the
big Divide" which heretofore has
held the center of the stage. Yes
terday the drift opened material,
perhaps the least important fea-
ture of which was its value, the
great interest attaching to the SIM
pie fact that ore was found in the
huge Divide vein in Brougher ter
ritory. The crosscut and drift
until yesterday had been in low
grade ore, exactly as the TonOpah
Divide was on the fourth level be-
fore the rich ore-shoot was entered.

CRACKER JACK
MAY CUT ORE

The crosscut from the top of the
raise from the 350-foot level of
the Cracker Jack lease on the Red
King claim of the. Florence en-
tered the hanging wall of the Rog-
ers vein yesterday. four feet OF ore
en- the wall assaying $14.SO, az
cording to Manager H. G. McMa-
ron. The work is being done only
a short distance above the rich ore
shoot. The dip of the vein is re-
ported to be flatter where the
hanging wall was cut, extending
farther into Cracker Jack ground
as height is gained.
Another raise will be driven on
the hanging wall from this cross
cut and a raise will also be started
from the 300-foot level to cut the
vein. The crosscut on the 500
foot level will then be continued
into the vein and drifting started
both ways.

HASBROUCK TUNNEL is
ENTERING SECOND VEIN

1t is believed the Hasbrouck
tunnel is nearing the second vein
in the tunnel, as heavily oxidized
quartz has been found 1000 feet
from the portal. The quartz was
found on the footwall side of the
tunnel and it is believed crosscut-
ting to the footwall will expose
commercial ore. Timbering of the
shaft has been completed to a
depth of 100 feet and is being con-
tinued at a rate Of one and one
half sets a day. 1t is said that
within 80 days the Hasbrouck will
be shipping from the tunnel at the
rate of a carload a week. the ore
coming from earlier work and as
assaying about $25.

TONOPAH MINING COMPANY
BUYS GOLD SEAM GROUP

The Tonopah Mining company
has purchased from Charles Kiel-
hoefer the Gold Seam group in
the Gold Reef district. The claims
are two miles south of Gold Noun
tain. A 10O-foot shaft is on the
claims and in earlier work seven
tons of ore assaying $3.50 per ton
was shipped. Seven veins are said
to traverse the group. A. H. Eft
man, well-known Goldfeld mining
engineer, is surveying the claims
to secure patent.

GRANDMA IMPROVING

At distance of 25 feet from
the shaft a drift recently started
northwest in the Grandma has en-
tered promising formation. A
drift driven over $50 feet north
west from the east crosscut was
discontinued and the new drift
started to cut nearer the sump, or
west crosscut, a promising vein
extending across the general trend
of the formation at a depth OF
SIS feet. The vein which the new
working was designed to open has
not been reached and the prom
ising material found few days
ago is believed to be a continua-
ton of a cross vein found in the
16O-foot drift at a point near the
east crosscut.

ISING TERRI
TORY

Stock of the Allied Divide Min
ing company is being subscribed
for in the east at rate that ill
N the next few days provide the
company with ample finances for
development work on large
scale on what are regarded by COM
petent authorities as some of the
best claims in the district. The
amount of stock to be issued in
the west is small and practically
all has been taken, although a
small block still remains with a
Reno brokerage company,
The Allied is situated. southeast
of the Merced claim of the East
Divide and a shaft has been start
ed on the Marquette claim.
With the Allied, Gold Reef, Alto
and East Divide working in this
part of the district the territory
southeast of the big Divide and
Cold Zone is attracting attention,
roth from mining men and invest
crs.
The Allied Divide is incorporat-
ed for 100000 shares of par
value of 10 cents each. Hale of
this number of shares will be re-
tanned in the treasury.

In his report Mr.. Turner says:
This property contains all the
mineral-bearing formations of the
district and has within it's bound

HIGH DIVIDE WORKING

The High Divide, owning the
largest acreage in the Divide dis
trict, will soon start work under
the direction of A. /. Darcy, con-
sulting engineer, and William Wat
ters, superintendent, for the Tono-
pah Divide. The plans of this
have attracted attention
and the stock offering was eagerly
taken. The High Divide is own
led by George Wingfield and H. G.
Brougher and it is said that the
same rapid development that has
characterized the Big Divide mine
will be followed in the new COM
pany operations. The stock has

EAST DIVIDE MAY
Be NEXT GREAT
SENSATION
CROSSCUT WILL BE DRIVEN TO
VEIN AT 400
FEET

With the existence of ore on tho
500 level of the Brougher estab-
lished, while interest will continue
to center on the Brougher for a
long period. it is the general opin-
ion that another prospect in the
Divide district is near the mfne
stage and that this will be the
next point of great interest and
possibly the next sensation.
This is the East Divide.
The East Divide shaft. situated
in one of the truly highly promis-
ing parts of the district, at
depth of $50 feet, recently entered
the sulphide zone and is being con
tinued in the typical ore-bearing
formation identical with that of
the Tonopah Divide and Brougher.
The shaft is now 345 feet deep and
at the '400-foot point, or possibly
before this depth has been reach
ed, a crosscut will be started to
cut within short distance what is
considered by many competent an-
thcrities to be a continuation OF
the great vein found on the third
level of the Tonopah Divide, which,
while>authorities differ, is now
generally recognized as true
vein, trending through Alto and
East Divide territory.
A depth of 400 feet will take
the East Divide shaft well into
the ore-bearing formation, and II
lateral work at this depth does
not result in large and valuable
orebody being found it will great
ly surprise mining men familiar
with conditions in the district.

LOTS SELLING
IN DIVIDE CITY

The plat of the Divide tOwnsite
was approved this morning by the
county commissioners and town lots
are selling fast. w. j. Tobin,
mining man of Pioneer, bought a
corner lot yesterday for $3.50 and
last night was offered $500 for his
property. The townsite is owned
by John H. Miller, Zeb Kendall
and associates, and Clyde P. john
son, formerly county recorder, is
agent for the sale of lots.
The matter of the proposed post
office has been taken up with
Washington, and it. is reported that
r. F. Wendover of Millers will be
the Divide City postmaster.
Corner lots are 50 by SO feet
and inside lots are 80 by 80.
The north-south thoroughfares
are called avenues and the east
west, streets. The avenues are
Waters, Brougher, Wingfield, Ken
dali, Reeves, Miller, O'Neil, Adams,
Washington and Opal and the
streets are named Nevada, Esmer-
aida, Broadway, Divide, California,
Tonopah and, Market.
A large triangle in the center
of the town has been selected as
the site for the Willard-Dempst'y'
fight, which it is proposed to hold
at Divide If money can secure the
attraction, according to reports.

feet wide and the crosscut was
continued through 1t and drifts
driven in both directions, to the
northwest on the hanging wall and
to the southeast on the foot wall.
This was where the Divide first
became a mine and Brougher Of
fered Wingfieid an opportunity to
regain his interest with the result
that Wingfield sent Darcy to Gold
Mountain to investigate. The
foot wall drift was 35 feet long at
this time and the hanging wall
drift 25 feet long. with the mater
ial exposed assaying from Sc to
$50 per ton in gold and silver.
The ore in the crosscut assayed
from $50 to $40.
A touch of humor enters into
the situation at this stage. Divide
ore, in appearance, is dull and un-
interesting. Darcy went to the
mine, examined it and had assays
made, with a result that surprised
him.
Darcy and Waters were al
most total strangers, but there was
nothing for the former to do but
return to the mine and sample 1t
again, making certain that every
thing was as the assays indi-
Gated. This he did, and 1t is
said that Waters only appreciat-
ed the situation, as he had been

Eighty feet from the crosscut
from the shaft on the fourth level
the southeast drift in the Tonopah
Divide still is exposing ore show
ing hornsilver. This drift is five
feet wide and it is reported that
since the oreshoot was entered no
ASSAY has been taken showing the
value of the ore for this width
to be less than 5000 per ton. The
drift is regarded as being one OF
the wonders of mining and the
great increase in the value of the
ore between the third and fourth
levels is causing in all markets for
mining shares a situation that is
without precedent since the palmy
days of Goldfeld, when fortunes
were made over night, as is now
being done in the Divide district.
Six months ago the man who
would have predicted the present
price for Tonopah Divide would
have been regarded as an op-
timistic fool, but what then was
regarded as the height of all int
probable things has become a fact.
AS soon as timbers have been
put in place at the intersection OF
the silver and new" veins on the
third level stopping will be started
at this point and the main third
level drift continued southeast
with crosscuts at 50-foot intervals.
This drift has been advanced 100
feet beyond the junction of these
veins. The raise being extended
from the third level is being con-
tinued and is nearing the second
level. A series of raises will be
driven through to the surface to
provide ventilation for the far
southeastern workings.
The last set before the station
timbers was placed in the shaft at
the fifth level yesterday.
Following is short history of
the Tonopah Divide, which is OF
interest at the present time when
the mine is the center of interest
in the mining world:
The history of the Divide mine
is of general interest only during
the period of ownership by George
Wingfield or H. c. Brougher or
by these men as partners.
Wingfield and Brougher took
over the Gold Mountain Mining
company, formed the Tonopah Di-
vide company and gave to stock
holders of the old company the
privilege of entering the Tonopah
Divide on payment of three cents
per share. Brougher then decided
to resume development at what
Wingfield did not consider to be
an opportune time, owing to the
condition of the market for mir
ing shares and this led to Brough-
er buying Wingfield's interest.
Before this time lessees had
been working at the now familiar
tunnel site on the side of Gold
Mountain, in the "gold" vein, an
had shipped a carload of ore, stop
ed from above the tunnel level.
This led to the lessees becoming
enthusiastic and. following the
mining of winze a short distance

vide owns the Eliza Jane, Star of
the East, Polo and Desert King
claims. Complete equipment will
be erected for mining, which it is
planned to start in the near fu-
ture.

in the vein, they proposed to A.
1. darcy, wingfield's engineer
and now consulting engineer for
the Tonopah Divide, that IL he
would have a survey made they
would start work far down on tie
side of the mountain, near the site
of the present shaft, and drive TO
the silver vein. This work was
never done.
After buying Wingfield's inter-
est, Brougher started the present
shaft in April, 1917, and it is
really from this date that the his
tory of the Tonopah Divide is OF
general interest.
The shaft was sunk 165 feet. AT
this depth crosscut was started
southwest toward. the gold vein,
no attention being paid to the
silver vein, cropping prominently
on the surface short distance
from the shaft site, but at q dis
tance of 145 feet from the shat
the crosscut entered the silver
vein. This work was done under
direction of William Waters as
superintendent and, realizing the
importance of the discovery that
had been made, Waters immedi-
ately brought Brougher to Gold
Mountain from his home in Oak
land.
The vein at this point is 20

as mucn SuIpElScu dS ~ AiOy "hOa
the vein was first entered.
Wingfield then, on advice OF
Darcy, again bought into the Di-
vide and 1t is reported that he
paid more for getting back than
he received when he sold out.
The shaft was sunk another 100
feet and a crosscut driven. to the
vein, which was found TO be %
feet wide and, assaying SIS. Con-
siderable lateral work was done on
this level with highly satisfactory
results and then the shaft was
sunk to the third level, where the
mine first showed that it was en-
titled to be called a bonanza. This
was in the summer of last year.
On the third level drift was
extended northwest for 20 feet and
southeast for $50 feet, with cross
cuts to the southeast at 50-foot in
intervals. On this level to this
point in development the vein was
found to average 26 feet in width
and the value of the ore was found
to average $50. 1t was on Dec.
80 of last year that the discovery
was made that attracted the at
tention of mining men everywhere.
What was at that time thought to
be a cross vein was entered at ESQ
feet southeast of the crosscut from
the shaft and this, with further
development, proved to be great
area of enrichment. Crosscuts
driven in both directions so feet
to the !. southeast showed the
width of pay ore to be over 80
feet and for 401s feet the south
west crosscut continuedein ore av-
eraging $50 per ton. The main
drift then was continued another
SO feet southeast and .rosscuts
will be started at this point soon.
In December the shaft was start
ed toward the fourth level and re-
Gently entered the vein, drift on
the hanging wall exposing full
face of rich ore 80 feet from the
crosscut. This drift is being con-
tinued southeast in high-grade ore.
The vein from which the lessees
took the carload of ore in the
early days, known as the "gold
vein," was prospected for short
distance on the 265-foot level and
proved rich, but it is believed that
this vein will not be found in the
true ore-bearing formation of the
district until it has been reached
on the fourth level and it is
planned to drive crosscut to it
at this depth.
The silver vein strikes southeast
and the gold vein strikes due east,
the veins supposedly intersecting
at b point far beyond the present
face of the southeast drift on the
third level.
The face Of the southeast drift
on the third level is in ore $3.50
feet southeast of the main cross
cut, showing that the length of the
huge ore-shoot is unknown. The
present length on this level is 420
feet, drift having been driven 70
feet northwest in ore.
Details showing estimated tom
mage blocked out have not been
announced since November, and in
view of the remarkable increase in
quantity and value of ore since
that time the figures would be OF
no value in estimating the present
tonnage in sight.
