The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-11-17

An article which appeared in the Daily Mining Record of Denver,
Colorado, which had for its object the in;s-y and overthrow of a certain
news agency in Goldfeld, Nevada, has in its attempt to accomplish its
purpose made statements in regard to the Blizzard Mining company,
which ire absolutely untrue; and w cannot understand how a paper If
the standing of the Record, would be willing to ruthlessly hurt innocent
parties, and discredit legitimate mining enterprises, in its desire to ac-
eomplish its purpose; and FOR this reason the Blizzard Mining company
makes the following statement:
The property of the Blizzard Mining company is situated four and
onehaf miles east of the Combination mine and in what is known as the
Eastern Belt of the Goldfeld district; there is a well defined system of
likes running southeastehy from the Combination and Florence Q n the
west through the Atlanta, Gold Bar, Blue Bull, Lone Star, Dixie, Knick-
erLocker Mountain, the Windsor, Moose, Piute claims, and through the
Blizzard property, and for three miles further east.
The formation according to mining engineers is identical with that
of the paying mines of Gldfeld, and numerous lodges, and some of the
largest dkes in the Goldfeld district are running through this property,
and surface assays running from a trace al high al $346O a ton have
been obtained, and a now be obtained by any person who desires to
There are at present four men employed on the property and the
work already done has been in line with all successful prospecting that
has been carried IN in Goldfeld; the company has been trenching and
prosecuting the lodges in order to find the best place for sinking, and Oh
next Monday W e begin the sinking of a shaft on the Tin Plate claim
where the surface assays have given returns of $3.50 and $346o a ton;
Mr.. Knickerbocker, who is general manager of the company is camped
IN the ground and is giving the work his personal supervision.
Men are at work o n the properties north, east, south and west of the
Blizzard group of claims, and 20 far as or knowledge goes, there will
not be a single claim anywhere in the vicinity of the Blizzard property
that will be subject to relocation o January first, by reasono of the annual
assessmen work nt being done, and W e do not know where the Record
obtains the information that these claims in that vicinity will be for
feited by reason of the assessment work not having been done by January
first.
The reports of !. F. Mitchell and w. A. Stanton, two of the best
known and most reputable mining engineers in Nevada, which reports
appear in u prospectus, speak for themselves, and MI. Mitchell and Mr..
Stanton ire willing to verify any and every statement made in their
reports
interest in the company, and tney have set aside a block of stock of two
hundred thousand shares of their W personal stock for advertising pur-
poses, which inures t. the special benefit of the company and to every
stakeholder in it; they have done this because of their faith in the prop
ery and to put it O. a paying basis.
The statement made in the Record as to or contractw with our fiscal
agent is false, and even if all the treasury stock a sold att the present
price, it would net the company moret than twice the amount of money as
stated in the Record.
In conclusion, the officers of the Blizzard company desire to say,
that w do not claim we have a paying mine at the present time, but we
do claim we have a legitimate prospect IS good as undevelopel
ground in Goldfeld district, a prospect which would warrant a miner, or
mine manager, in expanding money with the expectation of developing
a paying mine. BLIZZARD MINING COMPANY.
