Show I WORK RESUMED AT MONTANA-TONGPAH The Sun, tolling of conditions at Tono-pah, Tono-pah, says: The big drum at thn Montana Mon-tana mino mado somo troublo last week and for a few days the mine was shut down. The repairs were quickly mado and work resumed. President Knox Is here and, it is said, will increase tho force. The stamp mill was shut down Wednesday, Wednes-day, on account of somo trouble with tho Huntlngtons and also with the engine. The delay will bo short. Marvelous revelations of gold oro on several sides of Tonopah-Gold mountain have brought tho proportles in this district to the front within tho past several weeks, and now tho well-dellned rumor that Charles D. Lane of Alaska and California Califor-nia fame Is interested in this vicinity and Is casting a longing eye on Tonopah-Gold mountain gives a still further public interest in-terest to this part of Nevada's mineralized zone As already slated In this papor, Tonopah-Gold mountain lacks only proper reduction facilities for its ores. Nature has been most prodigal In scattering mineral-bearing ledges throughout tho por- phyry which composes the mountain, and the lack of water and heretofore, unsva- Itcmatlc development Is all that has mlU-iatd mlU-iatd against the property. If Mr. Lano obtains control, tho contomplatcd mill will doubtless become a reality within a short time. Tho gold and silver spike to bo used on the eomplotlon of the Tonopah railroad rail-road has ben flnlsh3d by Georgo F, Blakeslee. It Is tho size of an ordinary railroad spike and mado of gold and Oliver Oli-ver bullion from the Mlzpah mine. It is sliver Inlaid with gold. Tho words "Tonopah "To-nopah Railroad, 1501," aro handsomely engraved en-graved thereon. |
