Show TONOPAH MIDWAY IN NEW BODY OF ORE The Tonopah Bonanza ot April 30 says: Great excitement prevailed in Tonopah Tono-pah yesterday when the news was received that a rich strike had been mado In tho Midway mine. This morning a Bonanza representative visited the workings and had the rumor confirmed. For several months the company has been running run-ning a crosscut on the 600-foot level north and wost of the shaft, hoping that a known ledge would bo cut at that depth. Last week the vein wa3 encountered, and after crosscutting, It . measured twelve feet, throughout which traversed a number of string ers of ore, varying from four to eight inches, all carrying good values. The four-Inch stringer was picked up and drifted on fifteen feet to the weBt, where a body of high-grade ore, two feet wide, was opened up. Tho came stringer was traced to the east, with the result that one foot of ore, equally as rich, was broken into. Values Val-ues run well Into picture values. Tho new strike means much for the Tonopah district, as the find was made in now territory, near the center cen-ter of the Midway property, and has every indication of the opening up of another great body of ore. |
