HAS BEEN CONFIRMED - 100-fo- ot ot IN NEVADA The advantage of transportation to mining camp perhaps has seldom been better exemplified than in the use of that wonderful mining region of Tonoiinh, in Nevada. From all accounts, the arrival of the train or railway to Tonopah before the first of June will inaugurate a boom perhaps such as has not occurred for a long time in the West. Even mining investors winced at the thought of a sixty-mil- e couch ride over one of the dustiest and most desolate roads in the west. That will soon be a thing of the past, says Mines and Minerals, cff Scranton, Pa. On the dumps at Tonopah lie thousands of tons of ore which would be considered as high grade in even ordinary camps well supplied with transportation facilities or provided with mills, but too low grade in the present ondition of the cainp In question to he shipped awey to mills for treatment, or else mills will be built on the sjiot.

An army of prospectors will doubtless Invade the territory, and by their keen researches it is probable area will be thut the mineralised greatly enlarged and many new camps spring up in the vicinity. Tonopal is given merely as a striking example to Illustrate the benefits to be derived by new districts from transportation facilities Many other fields will receive a similar benefit, as this year promises to be quite a railroad building one in the mining regions of the west In the past issues of Mines and Minerals we have noted the Important resources to be developed by the "Moffat Road" which Is grading and laying its tracks from Denver to Salt Lake,' and which will develop number of new regions; first, the properties of the Front range about Rollinsville, and the Middle Park and Rabbit Ear range; and secondly, the great coal areas of Routt county, in Northwestern Colorado, also the vast and valuable hydrocarbon fields of gilsonite and asphaltum in Colorado and Utah. At a depth of 21 feet the shaft shows 6 feet of ore carrying high average values, much of it being of good shipping grade. The Sandstorm is rapidly taking its place among the great mines of the camp. The work of the company is showing most satisfactory results, and there will be something to report next week. A good strike is reported on the St Ives, adjoining the Spearhead, and owned by Kernick, Taylor, McClelland and Lockhart The discovery was made on the surface in the lease of J. P. Martin.

There are now approximately 6,000 sacks of shipping ore waiting for transportation. The management this week gave out a statement of the ore shipments to date. Shipments began on February 16, and 63 2 tons were shipped up to March 1; during March 143 tons were forwarded to the smelter, and 186 tons were shipped during AprIL Returns have been received from ten carloads.

On the level, it is said that the leasees are forging ahead in about thirty inches of ore that will probably average better than 20 per cent copper.

The property has been sampled, not only by the experts of the purchasing company, but by Charles Butters as well, and all reports agree that there is the making of a wonderfully big and rich mine In the ground. The ore carries all the way from 85 to 75 per cent lead, from 100 to 400 ounces silver, and from $10 to $700 in gold per ton. Enough work has already been done to make it possible to begin shipping as soon as the forces are marshaled, and next week, it is understood, the management of the mine will be placed in the hands of E.
