Show I: hmiim WEALTH ij : OF NEVADA STOCK ' Seventy-Four Tons of Ore, for Which Nearly SGO,000, Gross, Was Pnld , . 1 Sir. Keith's Observations, i ; " , '! That developments at Tonopah and ! Goldfield are anions the most cxtraor- J dlnary since the sensational days of , ,j the Conistock, within whoso oxhaust-1 oxhaust-1 ij ' ' less channels he was for years a prom I - , !!; nent llgure. Is the testimony of Hon. '! David Keith, president of the great Sll- , ver Kins, since his return, and after , a personal examination of at least ev- I oral of the mines that havo come Into I nrnmlnr-niio At Tnnrm'ih lie wmr PX- II 1 tended every courtesy by Secretary Dun- (i f ham of the Montana-Tonopah, and, ' ' while he did not feel, at liberty to go Into details, he could not refrain from i expressing astonishment at the splendid i h results achieved in jx5 short a time. The showing under ground, said he. is e.pe-, e.pe-, Ij dally Impressive In the Maedonald ledge, although the condition through- out Is reminiscent of days in the cham bers of the old Com&loek. At Goldfield the situation was indeed panoramic, and yet in some of the rlch-'j rlch-'j est rock there Is nothing to indicate the i presence of gold, unless it be the grnv- ! Ity of the metal Itrelf. Of this he brought a sample taken from a etreak of talc the metallic contents of which , show a valuation that partakes of the fabulous. For seventy-four tons of ore t from the Florence mine, operated by Messrs. Parker & Lockhart of Colorado, the owners received $5G,000. the consignment con-signment showing a gross valuation of $59,000. Panning!? from a streak of talc occurring lenslike In the Jumbo mine, showed him 50 per cent gold, the same rich streaks occurring in the January, from which Zeb Kendall of Sprlngvllle and his associates are digging out a lortune. The Combination Is another phenomenal proposition, while the Red Top. in which Richard A. Colburn of ' this city is interested, shows very hlgh- i ' grade ore in bunches and in what np- I ledge. The achievements made In so f short a time are phenomenal, said Mr. j Keith. The all-rail outlet between Tonopah and Sodaville cannot but stimulate the growth of the region, although Its equipment with rolling stock is- yet In-' In-' complete, while the wealth already ex posed foretells a most populous camp. "With the new boilers being installed . , at the Halifax by the company utiliz- I lag its waters in position, sinking there ' will be resumed by Mr. Keith and his associates, the next cross-cut to be extended to the ledge at a depth of SCO foot. In the ultimate productiveness of , this territory the management has lost no confidence. |
