Tonopah mine advances with deeper shafts and rich ore
The Fonopah company employs about 12 miners focusing on development. Siebert shaft reaches 900 feet with a 1000 foot station planned. A 700 level crosscut connects to the Valley View shaft, 80 feet long, boosting ventilation. Oxidized ore yields rise with sulphide pockets, and a drift near Blebert shaft reports ore valued at $90 per ton. Constable Wilson served a warrant on W J Wright for cutting trees on school property in Reno.
