A New Incorporation.

George Lynch, the locator of group
of promising claims east of the Keane-
Wonder mine, has recently made deal
with W. II. Routledge, Jas. l.. Butler,
Judge Jackson and other prominent
Tonopah business men, and company
has been incorporated to work the prop
erty. Judge jackson is president; Thos.
Arden, vice-president; and Ross b.
Meder, secretary. One hundred thOus-
and shares OF the treasury stock were
readily placed and after the first OF the
year development work will proceed
under the superintendency of Mr..
Lynch. There are several well-defned
ledges on the group, the principal ores
being on the Valley View and Black
Bird claims. In an open cut OR the
Valley View, which has 12-foot face, u
ledge 8 feet wide was opened and 31t
feet of this ledge gives paintings ind'-
eating values of better than 500 per ton.
On the Black Bird is l4-fOOt ledge and
at 10 feet depth in the shaft the values
go from $50 to $50 in free gold. Capt.
DeLamar, who OWNS the Keane- Wonder
adjoining, is meeting with excellent re-
suits in development work. Mr.. Lynch
owns the Keane springs from which the
different properties secure water.

corporation which has been organized
under the laws of Arizona with a capi-
talization of $4,000 The company
was incorporated over two months ago,
but nothing was said by the promoters
until their plans were fully completed.
The incorporators are nearly all local
people who are heavily interested in the
mines and business of the Goldfield dis
trict and whose standing financially and
as men is of the best. They are: Hon.
Geo. S. Nixon, U. S. Senator-elect; !;

Reno, John S. Cook, banker; II. T.
Bragdon and II. l.. Johns, heavy stock
holders in the Goldfield Mining and
other strong companies; and Frank V.

The gentlemen named above are
heavy owners in SO many companies
here that their business alone is a sub

they are making such liberal contract
with users OF power that they fee
morally certain of furnishing all the

IL. II. Clark, secretary and general
manager of the Bullfrog Mining COM
pany, was in Goldfeld Monday on his
return from an inspection Of the COM
pany's properties. He brought back
with him numerous samples of the ore
and loose dirt and it is sure good to look
at, especially the results when panned.
The location work on all the COM
pany's claims has now been completed
and they are proceeding to open up and
develop the group on Ladd mountain.
The ledge matter here is fully 600 feet
wide. 1t has been opened up by half a
dozen shafts and open cuts, attaining a
depth at the face of from 5 to 10 feet, all
of which are in ore.
About 100 feet from the foot wall Of
the ledge is a streak of tale, l8 inches
wide, which looks identical with that of
the Jumbo. Paintings made from the
decomposed stuff on the surface of this
streak, leaves string of coarse and
and flour gold, indicating values OF from
$500 to $500 per ton. Alongside of this
streak is strong quartz outcrop which
stands up about feet. Recently the
foreman found piece of quartz float
which showed considerable free gold.
He traced it for 200 feet up to this quartz
outcrop and broke off large piece which
was plastered with visible gold and
would ASSAY into the thousands of dol
lars per ton. This particular piece OF
ore will be preserved by the company as
a memento OF the find.
A shaft was started at this point
which will connect with tunnel which
has been started to crosscut the noun
tain. In sinking this shaft Ii feet the
tale streak widened out from Is inches
to 21a feet, but at s feet in depth the
tale disappeared, with the exception OF
a gouge on each wall, and a 4-foot quartz
vein was struck. Like in the groupings
there is lots OF free gold visible in this
quartz, but as many said who saw the
ore, it is the character OF the quartz it.
self, rather than the visible gold, which
is most encouraging. There is not II
hungrylooking speck to it.
Another encouraging feature is the
fact the vein il Il true fissure. The
country pitches strongly to the east
while the large ledge pitches to the
west, showing that it is true fissure.
Three shifts have been put to work on
the tunnel, which will attain depth OF
235 feet, and it will be pushed through
rapidly Like the different cuts and
shafts, the tunnel is in ore.
The Bullfrog Mining company is also
developing the Indian Springs group,
four miles from Ladd mountain, and
gold has been found on s'x of the eight
claims in this group. The stock of the
company is held firm and owing to the

H. w. knickerbocker has sold the

The ledge was struck this week in the

The ledge shows about feet wide at the
point where it was encountered.
In doing the annual work on the

signers of these contracts in proportion
to the amount of power each ene pur-
chases dusing the year. Thus users of
power are assured not only of reasonable
rates but they are virtually taken in as
partners and will share in the profits OF
the company. Those who have seen the
contracts are unanimous in commenting
the liberality of the promoters, especi-
ally regarding the cooperative feature.
The Goldfield Electric Light and
Power company have already made u
contract with the CalifOrnia-Nevada
company, as the latter will be able 10
sell power cheaper than the former com
pany can generate it here.
The power will be generated on Big
Pine and Lone Pine creeks, Calf, rs
miles from Goldfeld. The water rights
now secured without chance of conflict,
will generate about 10,OO0-hOrse power,
but the company is also securing other
sources OF power in addition. a fran
chise to furnish power to this district
State Nevada, and no precaution has
been neglected to make the enterprise
entirely safe in every particular.
Another power project is also contem-
plated with T. l.. Oddie and capitalists
of California at the head. 1t is the in
tention of these gentlemen to construct
a plant near Mono Lake, 120 miles from
Tonopah and As miles from GOldfield.

AMARGosA, Bullfrog Mining District,
New, Dec. 20.-A whirlpool of excite
ment was caused here late Sunday after
noon when two prospectors, who had
come in early in the day, reported that
they were going out immediately as they
had received their assays and that they
were satisfactory, and not until this
time had any attention been given to
the red looking rock that they had been
showing about. This was quickly hunt
ed up and burned. The result was as
tonishing, az in every case a long string
of cOlOrs was left exposed in the pan.
Saddle horses were Immediately in de-
mand, and several people left during
the night. while others followed the
next day. The rock is supposed to have
come from point about so miles from
here, the route being via Willow

Dec. 2O.-This town is taking on boom.
Before noon today four different people
pitched their tents on lots that they had
previously purchased. Business men
report good trade and prospectors in
the hills hard about are greatly encour-
aged over their paintings and assays.
This is the only town in Southern Ne

Telegraph and Telephone Line.
When Manager Clark arrived in Gold
field on Monday the telegraph and tele-

the poles had been strung for 45 miles.
On his return to Tonopah he called up
the camp and the line worked perfectly,
the instruments being much better tqan
the ones in use in this section heretofore.
The line will probably be completed in
80 days There is strong possibility
that this line will be connected before
many months with the Postal Telegraph
at some point ON the Santa Fe.
