BIG CHECK FOR LOT OF MONTANA-TONOPAD ORE Sixty-one Tons Bring; Over JH.CCt at the Salt Lake Smelter. The Salt Lake Tribune of the 16th says: "From a little over sixty-one tons of ore from the Montana-Tono pah of Nevada, which reached the furnaces of the American Smelting and Refining company at Murray during the day, the local treasurer for the bonanza drew down a check for $13,073.59 this after the cost of transportation, working charges at the smelter, and the et ceteras that are not a little expensive themselves had been deducted. The consignment was divided into two lots, one of 34 tons showing 426 ounces silver, with 5.06 ounces gold per ton; the other, 224 ounces silver, with 2.33 ounces gold. "Each was taken out in the pros ecution of development work, ex plained Adrian C. Ellis, Jr., vice president of the company, whose interests are scattered throughout Zion. Not a pound of it, indeed, was deliberately stoped, while two more carloads from the same source are now in transit. In the fissure recently encountered in a north drift in the Montana-Tono- pah, and at a point 186 feet north of the shaft, is now exposed, according to a report from Manager Knox, four feet of rock, which affords an average of $200 per ton, while other portions of the bonanza, which ap pears to be furnishing- the greater portion of the blood for Tonopah's arteries at this time, are reported in equally gratifying conditions. In deed, local interests are looking for ward to a dividend the present year, and certainly Manager loox is doing all in his power that expectations shall be realized." THE MINE'S PRESENT SHAPE. . Work at the property is progress ing favorably, and, if anything, bet ter ore than ever is being extracted. Development on the 460 and 512-foot levels is being pushed on the ledges, and the ore therefrom is running very high in values. T . ) Winze start ed in the west drift of the 512, about twenty feet from the crosscut, is down forty feet and at that point shows great values and seven feet width of ore. The latter is of a sul phide character, and through the ledge pass streaks that will run up into the thousands in gold and silver. The crosscut on this level is now in nearly 300 feet. The drift started to the west at 200 feet is in about twenty feet and has opened up a body of ore from ten to twelve feet wide and the greater part of it is of shipping grade. This ledge is point ing directly to the Midway ground, and sooner or later that company will catch it in their north crosscut. It will also undoubtedly enter the North Star ground on the east." The crosscut to the north in the Montana, at the 612 station, is now in ninety feet, and it is thought that within forty feet it will tap the ledge that is being worked upon in the lev el above. And if it holds good in value and extent, and from indica tions in the bottom of the , winze there appears to be no question on that point, one of the biggest and richest bodies of ore in the district will be opened up. The ship ments of ore still continue from the mine and the receipts are building up a strong treasury reserve. For the time that work has pro ceeded on the Montana it makes a better showing in value than any mine in the west, with the exception of the Mizpah, its rival on the south. It is not yet a year since the first shovelful of dirt was turned over, and in these few months more than 2000 feet of workings have been opened up and several millions of dol lars' worth of ore exposed. The property has been ably financed.is eco nomically and excellently managed, and within the next three years it will prove itself one of the mining wonders of the world.

Manipulating Managers of Old Mines Up Against It. A California mining engineer re cently returned from the Pacific coast to Boston, says: "The Corn stock mines have advanced this year a bit and on a more legitimate basis. It has been the fashion for many years past for the managers of the Comstock mines to make money by being short of their stocks, but some unseen power has picked up several of the best of them, and is now let ting the shorts squirm without re vealing itself. Many mines on the Comstock lode that could pay dividends under economical manage ment have been allowed to sell in the San Francisco share market for less than the value of the machinery as juuk above ground. "It is figured that San Francisco puts half a million a month into horse racing, and half a million a month in to mining assessments. The Com stock managers had a great scheme for corralling a large part of the mining share market assessments. Half a million a month paid into le gitimate mining would have gone a long way, but paid in largely upon capital which did not exist, it went into the pockets of the bears, and not into the mines. "I don't believe the present is a healthy time for bears in California or in Wall street. They are never satisfied until they have sold them selves into a hole." Advertised Letters.
