Show 1 Ng Miners and Mining. vg The New York-Tonopah Mining company has H struck its ore body at a depth of 165 feet and a force of men will at once be placed on the work of sinking and crosscutting to ascertain the strength of the ledge. Mr. G. L. Land, president of the company, is now in Philadelphia looking after tho interests of his company as well as of the Philadelphia-Tonopah, in which he is also interested. in-terested. L. C. Trent, the well-known mining expert and operator, has returned from Palo Alto, Cal., and will resume business in this city. J. B. Bamberger and his associates are elated with the good news received from one of their prospectors who has been looking over the ground about eighty miles north of Tonopah, has picked up three groups of claims in that locality on one of which he has uncovered a well defined ledge running from $9 to $200 in gold, with over two feet of this character of ore exposed. On a neigh- ' boring ledge he also struck values in silver running run-ning up to 1400 ounces with from $5 to $60 in gold, while a third group panned out rich in copper, much of it going up to 20 per cent. Something like twenty locations have been secured by Mr. Bamberger's agent at Silver Peak which he feels confident will develop a second Tonopah in sensational sen-sational values and pay bodies of ore. James X. Ferguson as trustee for a local syn-, dicate has started the Greater New York Mining company auspiciously by the purchase of the J. I. C. and R. P. H., two patented locations adjoining adjoin-ing the New York Mining company's properties ' at Park City, and lying south of these claims for , $20,000. Rich silver values have been taken from i the adjoining territory on the Naildriver and the purchasers feel satisfied that the ledge carrying J these values dip into and run throughout the length of their newly acquired properties. A force j of men has been put to work on the new acquisi-! acquisi-! tions and development will be pushed with all speed until the ore body is tapped. The American Flag company at Park City has been fully equipped with machinery and a force of men engaged for pushing the work as rapidly as consistent with good managament, in the development de-velopment of the valuable property since the late strike developed its high values. The work has been steadily progressing for the past two years under the able management of John Rhodin and an immense amount of work has been accomplished in tunnels, crosscuts, upraises, shafts and drifts exposing ex-posing and blocking out large bodies of pay ore, no attempt having been made to take out more ore than was absolutely necessary to further development de-velopment work. The new hoisting works are among the most up to date in the camp. All classes of work throughout the properties indicate the I ability and thrift of its manager, Mr. Rhodin, and I when the proper time arrives for extracting ore for mining purposes his good judgment will be oven more thoroughly proven by the immense returns which are certain to result from his past valuable work in the workmanlike development of his company's com-pany's fine property. A. B. Lewis has secured the McGregor .group of claims, gold properties, which are located on the west side of the Gold mountain range, under a bond and lease and proposes inaugurating work on these properties during the coming winter. These are Beaver county properties and lie in the midst of a rich district which has already shown strength, permanency and high values in the ledges which traverse its locations. Mr. Lewis intends in-tends putting in considerable time in thoroughly Prospecting the ledges and then if the results are satisfactory will run a tunnel to tap the ledges at depth. y Work is progressing rapidly on the Minola Properties at Park City and the ground through B which the winze is being sunk is showing up very encouragingly. It is expected that the ledge will be tapped within the next twenty feet. Mr. N. A. Page reports work progressing rapidly rap-idly on the Lone Pine and thinks there is every resaon to feel safe in the prediction that this property will soon rank among the big producers of the district. P. L. Kimberly, the great coal operator who has for some time past been interested in Utah and Nevada mines, has arrived in Salt Lake City from Sharon, Pa., and will spend some time in the mining districts of this State looking over his immense interests. |
