A HOLDUP FRIDAY NIGHT
Hospital Also Entered and Robbed
DurinG the Week.

Last Friday night two men-the ira
ditional 'long and short man'-went to
the Oddie lease on the White Rock and
held up Joe Hubley, who was running
the whim. At the point of gun they
made him lay down while they searched
him. The short man, who was evidently
a novice at the business and very ner
vous, searched Hubley first. but found
only gu cents in silver. The lengthy
robber took try at it, giving the gun to
his shorter and more nervous comrade.
He was no more successful than his part
ner, and they put the 80 cents back in
Hubley's pocket and did not take his fine
gold watch. which they took hold of
while searching for money. Hubley had
some five dollar bills in his fob pocket,
but the robbers failed to locate them.
The hospital established here by the
county, and which now has no patients,
was entered during the week aud the
stove, blankets. cooking utensils, and
every piece of furniture was taken away
No trace of the william, or Williams, have
been found.
There is quiet, but strong sentiment
against thievery In this camp. and when
the culprits are caught, as sooner or later
they will be, they are apt to get all that
is coming to them.

In another column we discuss the advisability
of telling only half the truth in reporting de-
velopments in this district With five big new
strikes to chronicle this week, we'll as the
wonderful improvement in the January, 1t
really looks as if someone was drawing the
long bow" But we here know better-and
the quicker capitalists and investors on the out
side realize it, the better it will be for them
selves and their pocket books.
The strike that looks the biggest on the face
of it is that made in the lease of Richard, Cow
ing and Burns on the Jumbo. Ninety feet
north of the shaft which the former lessees
sunk, the ledge was opened up, and at depth
of feet they have feet of shipping ore, and
a careful sample across feet assayed $65o.7O
per ton. Gold is plainly visible in lots of the
rock. Some of it is fine and thickly studded in
the ore, while some pieces are twice as large as
pin head. Specimen assays would go into
the thousands, but the assay above given is
from sample across feet South of the shaft,
175 feet, the ledge is also opened and the ore
goes from $40 to $50 per ton In addition to
the surface work, the lessees are running a
drift from the shaft to catch the rich ore shoot
/, at depth
On the Commonwealth group, just east of the
Blue Bull new ledge has been uncovered at
shallow de pth, which carries sensational values.
Across feet in width the ore averages over
500 per ton. and some specimens are "lousy
with free gOld,' one of the enthusiastic own
ers says. Like on the January, this ledge was
found under loose dirt at depth of 1S inches,
and it bids fair to duplicate the record of that
bonanza. The Commonwealth is owned by
Elliott Myers, Murphy, Chute and Winkler.
This same ledge has been uncovered in sew
eral trenches on the Blue Bull claim and shows
about the same values. In one trench a sam
pie was taken across feet, leaving out all
specimens that were known to be extra rich,
and the assay return was $50 per ton. Picked
samples went from $500 to $4oo per ton. At
every point opened, the ledge appears strong
and the indications are that it will go down to
a great depth. This is an entirely different
ledge from the one in which ore was found some
time ago the Blue Bull, and alongside which
the shaft is being sunk. The Blue Bull is own

Lind & Collins. brokers, in connection
with Albert S. Watson of Tonopah. have
placed with New York capitalists, for in
vestment purposes, fifty thousand shares
of the treasury stock of the Jumbo &
Vernal Extension Mining company at
price which insures to this company am
pie funds with which to thoroughly pros
pect its various promising claims Sew
eral of the company's Diamondfeld
lodges, as we'll as the lodges or outcrops
on the north extension of the Saint Ives,
prospect good colors and the manage
ment feels that comparatively little work
will be required to place some of its
properties in the list of Goldfield pro
ducers. To insure ample funds for all
purposes, the company may, in the near
future, dispose of another block of fifty
thousand s1ares of it's treasury stock, the
same having been partially promised to
an investor at largely increased price.
With the exception Of small b Ock, all
the private stock of the company remains
nnissued and in pool for one year, pro-
ceeding which adds strength to an al
ready strong proposition. Owing to this
company's able and conservative manage
ment and the auspicious manner in which
it begins it's business. we feel like pre-
dieting for it unusual good success.
The Daisy.
Davis, Spalding and Busey have op
ened up another ledge on the Daisy, 200
feet north of the one which Jas. P. Har-
vey worked. A sample across 70 inches
returned an assay value of $4S.98 per
ton. They also opened up another ledge
$50 feet south of Harvey's ledge. and
sample across feet assayed $12.64. Out

FIVE EXTRA GOOD STRIKES
the Record for What Is Probably the Banner Week in the
History of the Coldield District.

ed by Harry and Tom Ramsey, H. o. Hall and
Geo. S. Nixon, the banker of Winnemucca.
On the Saint Ives. owned by Lockhart &
Williams, and which lies between the Jumbo
and the Blue Bull, the Joshua Club lessees have
made strike which takes second place to but
few big strong ledge has been uncovered
in two places, both showing fine values. In one
trench average assay was taken across ~
feet of the ledge which gave returns of 81 1910
to the ton. In another TRENCH II feet away,
the lowest assay secured was $40, and good pan
nings have been gotten from other places on
the ledge Jake Martin, who made the origin
al strike the Saint Ives, is sinking in the pOr
feet.
When G. d. Lane threw up his option on Ish's
Black Butte, Mr.. Ish started to work himself and
is securing values which makes him glad the
property is again in his hands. In crosscut he
has IS feet of ore that samples $50 to SIS clear
across. Two to S feet of this ore will go better
than $1oo per ton, and he will begin to save ore
for shipment.
While the new strikes this week phen-
omenal, the showing in the January throws
them in the shade. Last week extra high grade
ore was encountered in the IS and 112 foot lev
els. We said nothing of this in the last issue
as it was possible that it was only pocket. 1t
is still holding out. however, and if it is pock-
ct it is a mighty large one, Last Saturday over
20 tons were produced and sacked which aver
aged $772.62 per ton In gold aggregate Of SIC,
600 worth In round numbers. This was in addi-
ton to the usual amount of $40 to $50 mill ore.
This rich ore is still holding out and while the
daily production does not average as great
on Saturday. yet it is wonderful showing for
fve-months old mine, with only wLim to
raise the ore. The crosscut now shows the
ledge 70 feet in width, no wall in sight and no
waste rock. The main shaft is now down 200
feet and the ore in the bottom of the shaft has
changed to osulphides. AS in the Combination,
this change assures depth and permanency to
the January ledge. But if it did mt go down
another foot, Kendall, Reilly Jones and Patrick,
the :essees, as we'll as the Goldfeld Mining
company, which owns the January, are in for
fortune.

which they have purchased. Rich quartz,
similar to the Saint Ives strike, was found
this week on the Curley George. With
the strike in the Saint Ives and the Un
ion Jack of the Jumbo group, the claims
should prove valuable. Mr.. Wilson has
also incorporated company known as
The Goldfield Miners Development Co.,
which has secured valuable mining prop
erty in the district, upon which work will
soon be- commenced.
Another Strike on Jumbo.
