Mr. Dern takes 1 with him stock and proxies representing about two-thirds of the capitalization, and there is no ' doubt that the present hoard of directors will be re-elected. The board as it now stands consists I of John Dern, B. H. Alris, W. S. McCornick, A. i W. Chesterton, George H. Dern, William M. Thompson and Henry A. Bingham. The board will elect officers after Mr. Dern's return. ' & c -i: ; Frank H. Lathrap received word from J. C. Gladden at Tonopah that another shipment had been made from the Tonopah-Belcher mine, and ' that in the future they expected to ship at least three cars of ore each week. The ore runs from ' $60 to $75 per ton, and with the hauling, freight and treatment charges deducted, leaves a fair 1 margin. The strike was made in a winze that J is being sunk from the incline shaft of the General Gen-eral Thomas claim, and Mr. Gladden advises that i the ore body is widening out with each round of shots. w Av t5v : The Vindicator Mining company, which has been organized with a capital of $500,000, will 1 undertake the development of twenty-six full 3 claims in the Snake Creek district. The property of the new company is situated east of the Wolverine Wol-verine and southeast of the Bonanza Consolidated and Park City Superior properties. The work r will be in the form of a large tunnel, and it is ; expected it will drain all that portion of the ' camp. Theve is a steady flow of water from the tunnel at present, . and this will be utilized for power to run the drills. The recent developments at the St. Louis- Vassar and Bonanza Consolidated have encour- aged the organizers of the new company to be-' be-' lieve they will open up a good mine In that section sec-tion of the camp. The principal organizers of the company are B. H. Airis and W. H. Dodge. & & An important strike of copper sulphides has i been made in the No. 4 shaft of the Blue Acre property adjoining the O. K. mine of the Majestic Ma-jestic company. The shaft was started on a big ! ledge, and all of the work has been in ore, but l the copper has been in oxidized form, some of the carbonates running as high as 11 per cent. When the fifty-foot mark was reached the sul-I sul-I phides were struck and while the ore is of a , low grade, it concentrates readily. s No arrangements will be made for the treat ment of ores until svoh time as the mine is developed de-veloped at greater depth. Two other shafts on I this same property are now being sunk in ore. , & & The Continental Mines and Smelting corpora-t corpora-t tion is the name of the new company just or-. or-. ganized to develop their property in the old Alta t camp. The company purchased the Regu- lator, Grizzly & Lavinia and Darlington proper- ties and immediately formed a consolidation. m Work began on the property under the new management as soon as the first payment of H 25 per cent of the purchase price was made at Walker Bros.' bank. Managing Director. Henry H M. Crowther is figuring on an expenditure of H $50,000 in opening up the property on a largo B scale and installing a concentrating plant. It is Mr. Crowther's intention to work about fifty men H and it is expected that some pretty good ship- ments can he looked for from the property in a very short time. B tit j c5 Bj Another strike to the credit of the Snake Creek district js reported from the Southern Tier prop-Bjerty, prop-Bjerty, adjoining the Wolverine on the southwest. The strike was made in the "contact" tunnel ot the property, and at first appeared in the shape of a very narrow stringer, but Foreman Henry Coleman says that it has developed to an eight-inch streak, and every foot from the start has shown an improvement. The ore occurs in a fissure that is headed for the contact, and at its junction a large ore body is expected. |
