Senator Stewart in Camp.

Senator VIM. NJ. Stewart made his first
visit to Goldfield this week and he goes
away with great enthusiasm over tie
-howing in the mines and the towns.
While here the Senator saw the serious
and embarrassing conditiorpo of the NAL
service and Immediately sent a long trle-
gram to Washington urging immediate
action. However, the department had
already acted in the matter.
TIE Ntws is receiving many COM
plaints from outside subscribers
that papers do not reach them regularly.
We know that the papers leave the Gold
cid Office and the trouble occurs some
where else. Senator Stewart has prom
ised to look into this feature OF the mail
service also, and The News promises to
do its utmost to see that all its subscrib-
ers receive regularly the papers they
pay for. Chas. J. Happier, his private
secretary, T. X. lIofer and l.. t. Brock
bank, Of Carson, and Nj. II. Hennessy Of
Salt Lake City, accompanied the sena-

CURRENT MARKET NEWS.
Hedrick 8 Cos. Weekly
Market Letter.

After the big slump in Jumbo from
81 .05 to 10., we urge everyone to get In
at any price this side Of 20. When a
dissatisfied director, because be is nct
permitted to run matters to suit HIM
self. throws his stock on the market re-
uardless of its intrinsic value and breaks
the market to a point 100 per cent below
what the stock should be selling for we
consider it q splendid opportunity to
get in and secure the wide margin OF
profit that Will surely follow when af-
fairs in the directorate have been
Strengthened out II one could see the
constant output OF ore from the Jumbo
ones opinion would coincide with ours
Weare buying gJumhoat present prices.
We also urgently advise the purchase OF
Black Butte at -. The ore shoot on the
Quartzte in which there is Il streak
s inches wide that is breaking better
than $40. 900 per ton, is but IL feet from
the side line of the Black Butte and is
making directly for the latter property.
Watch Diamond5eld Mining company,
which owns the Quartzltes. AT % or
better it is an attractive investment
Daisy at Is is another good purchase; !;
seven feet of shipping ore has been
opened up on the company's holdings.
We are strongly advising the purchase
Of Goldfield Brooklyn at .04. The com
pany owns 6 claims in the Diamondtield
district that are well located and make
a splendid showing. Good strikes have
been recently made on the Apex and
Good Hope groups, adjoining properties.
We have examined the Brooklyn group
and pronounce it, for a prospect, the
best buy in the market at the price.
The fact that Mr.. Frank NJ. Ish, one Of
the most successful operators in the dis
trict. is at the head OF the company is in
itself guarantee of its merit. That he
will make a success OF the Brooklyn is Il
foregone conclusion.

"The News" Is Not an "Organ."

A letter to the editor from friend
in Denver states that the Denver Repub-
lican in recent issue made the asser-
tion that THE News is an organ OF the
Western Federation of Miners. There
as nothing like going away from home to
learn the news. If the apparent egotism
will be excused, it can be stated as a
fact that will not be disputed 10y any
resident of or visitor to the Goldfield
district that THE News enjoys, to an ex-
tent not often equalled, the respect, con-
fidence and patronage of all classes in
Goldfield-miners, mine owners and
business men-but it is not the "organ"
of any one of them. THE News is not
tied by any strings.
While the efforts of the Denver Re
publican to agitate and stir up trouble
in Nevada is reprehensible it is scarcely
more so than some political speakers
who have been here recently. We are
in Nevada and devoting almost anentire

NEWS FROM GOLD CRATER.
Curtis and RiI.-'c LiEo lihe Claim
Showing Up Well.

Sid Carey returned from Gold Crater
last Tuesday where he went to inspec'
and sample the Like Like claim Of Cur
tis q Ridge. The shaft is now down 50
feet and is in nice reddish looking
quartz. Careful sampling of the ledge
for feet in width and across the shaft
shows an average value above $75 per
ton. The hanging wall has not been
found as yet and it is possible that along
that will be found the richest ore. At
any rate the chances for soon having a
shipper are excellent.
The water company are working faith
fully and as damp ground is being en-
countered it is believed that water for
the camp will soon be found.
Sanders < Inman's Hub claim contin-
ues to attract the attention of visitors.
4 sample taken across u feet Of the
ledge showed an average value OF $56.lS
to the ton. A streak further on is known
to be even richer.

A FEW OF THE BIG GUNS.
Prominent Mining Men From the
World Over in Goldfield.

Clayton Miller, consulting engineer of
the Federal Mining and Smeltlng com
pauy in which Charles Sweeney, the
Rockefellers and Goulds are the owners,
spent the fore part of the week in camp.
Lihe ever, one else. he is amazed at the
showing and readily comedies that Gold
field is Il wonderful camp. Said he:
"Of course, you have not yet reached
depth where the sulphides were not
affected during the period of secondary
enrichment. This point will probably
be at 40 or 500 feet and il The values are
still there at that depth, you will have
not only rich camp, but long lived
one" Mr.. Miller acknowledged that il
the mines didn go foot ueeper, Gold
field would still b. wonderful producer
for few years, and turn out many ior
tunes. He expressed no doubt of the
mines going down. but simply makes the
point that until values are proven to 4OU
or 200 feet, we cannot say positively they
are there.
ii. X. Deveraux, we'll known through
out Colorado, is now in camp and will stay
for some time. He mas bought team so
he can cover a good scope of country.
Edwin S. Shanklin, mining engineer
of San Francisco, arrived III camp this

gineer OF Birmingham, Alabama, is in

sume mining interests here.
w. W. Wishou, a noted mining man
who was superintendent of the Specu
lator mine at Butte during period
when it produced S5,tO0,O,0 worth OF ore
was in camp this week. He sings the
song of Goldfield's greatness i'll the same
key as all other good mining men have.
w. a. Stevens of Spokane, a mining
engineer who is said to be one of the
most expert mill men in the country, is
here this week making careful study of
conditions generally.
Chas. N. Miller, a we'll known broker
and mining man of Denver, formerly of
Cripple Greek. was here this week and it
is understood closed some deals on prop
cry. Mr.. Miller is spoken of very highly
and he will do much good for the camp
in which he has uubounded confidence.
Bella Kadish, who erected the first
sampler in Cripple Creek, and who after
wards established one at Baker City,
Oregon, is here this week. 1t is said
that he is making arrangements to erect
sampler in Goldfield and has project
for mammoth power plant, the power
to be generated in the mountains of Cali
fcrnia. where water power can be bad.
A. Chester Beatty. for many years with
the Gugeenheim Exploration company,
arrived in camp last Saturday. He was

Spoiled by Success.

julius Chambers related in the Read
er how in 1887, while he was editing
paper in Paris, he conceived the idea
of putting on his editorial staff an old
beggar woman who had two wooden
legs and who was well known sight
on the boulevard. So he paid her a
regular salary and had brilliant inter
views written with leading men and
women Of Paris, which The published
over the signature 1.-THE Little Old
Woman on Two Sticks" He says: "It
soon became a matter Of pride among
English and Americans to know the
wretched creature who had become so
famous Money was showered upon
her by American and English visitors
who had not fathomed the humor Of
the situation and vertically accepted
the inference that the beggar was ON
speaking acquaintance with all the
notables of Paris. The episode finally
developed into a farce because the old
womans vanity was reused by the at
tention notoriety brought her. She
could not read English, knew nothing
about the contents of the articles and
actually fiattered herself into the be-
lief that she possessed physical attrac-
ton for the generous hearted men who
gave her aims or patted her tenderly
on the shoulder. Like many another
useful member Of society, she was
spoiled by success and one day struck
for higher wages"
