The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-08-25

The Nevada Prospecting and Mining Company
has been organized uuder the Federal laws of the
District of Columbia, with a capital stock OF l,5OO,-
600 shares, par value ST 90 each. OF this the gener-
Gus sum of 100000 shares have been placed In the
Treasury after the of all of the pre-
liminary work and the acquisition of the valuable
holdings mentioned above. For a limited time this
stock will be on the market at "a low figure, but in
view of the increasing value of our holdings an
advance will be made on an early date.
We believe that this is the opportunity that
you have been seeking to make money in Goldfeld.
We feel that we will here have a combination of
capital. energy, experience and ability that will
put our proposition out of the category of luck,
on a safe business basis.
We feel that You cannot but be impressed with
the plan of operation and opportunities for good
profit assured by our Company. The entire enter
prise hinges, you no doubt conclude, on the char
acter of the management and of the officers and
directors of the Company. The reputation of these
men should be particularly reassuring to you.
When | organized the Nevada Prospecting and
Mining Company | believed. and in this regard have
not changed my opinion. that Nevada was a rich
field for the operations of such IA federation and
the results of the enterprise | think verify the
opinion. We have several men at work on our
Bullfros claims and are slowly developing one of
the best looking properties in the district, consider
ing the amount of development accomplished.
There is a fine ledge five feet across, which is ex-
posed on the surface for several hundred feet, and
it is on this ledge that we are prosecuting develop
ment work. A good strike has been made within
five hundred feet of our "Cardinal" claim on the
west and we are endeayoring to locate the pay
streak on our own ground.
Our superintendent reports that they are MAX
inc good paintings and the indications are that
we shall have one of the best properties IN the
district. As a matter of fact. | had a bona tide
cash offer for the Cardinal claim which if &C
cepted would have enabled the directors to declare
a dividend sufficient to repay every dollar received
by the Company for the stock that up to this time
has been issued. As this offer comes from a con

s~ervative mining man of note, l think more than
ever of the Cardinal" claim, and with the help of
Benign Providence, shall make a mine of it.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-08-25

Many stockholders of the Company have com
mented onsthe fact of our locating so few claims
that we should have had forty or fifty by this time.
The fact is, our prospectors had instructions when
they started to locate nothing which IN their opin-
ion was not worthy of development. As a result
we have nothing but choice properties, well located
and which give promise of developing into bonan-
"a producers and shall spend our money to make
them such. I, at this time, know of thousands of
acres that can be located for the setting of the
stakes but these locations in the malapi' are
considered the home of the wildcats and their
absolute right to the property is unquestioned and
conceded by legitimate operators.
Mr.. j. f. Mitchell has visited the Cardinal
claim and | attach his report.
Bullfrog, New, June Z. 1905.
Nevada Prospecting and Mining Company,
Goldfield, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
Acceding to your request, [ have exam
ined the Cardinal claim at Bullfrog, and /
herewith append my opinion: The claim is
situated on an easily traced quartzlte dyke
running from the property of the Mont
gomery- Shoshone, through the Cardinal.
and thence in a northeasterly direction.
Shaft now being sunk down the contact of
the quartzite and rhyolite, has reached a
depth of twenty feet. The values seem to
commence with the grass roots, and in
crease with depth. Good paintings have
been secured from the bottom of the shaft
From the showing of the ledge now ex-
posed, | believe that the values will contin-
ue, and when the projected tunnel is driven
to the contact, this ledge will be cut at q
depth that will assure the permanently of
the property.
Respectfully submitted,
ESigned) j. T. M. L.
Initial subscribers are securing additional hold
ings, and in many instances are doubling their orig
inal subscriptions. The idea of cooperation, which
is the essential feature of all successful companies,
is proving to be our mainstay. It's very plan of
organization is founded on co-operation-heiplng
one another-and it is the appreciation of this fact
by the stockholders which is surely spelling success
and ultimately dividends. | take this opportunity
appreciation which | am now receiving. Advise
your friends to purchase Nevada Prospecting.

Seeking Southern Trade.

Chicago is endeavoring to loosen
the grip Of New York upon the trade
of the southeast. To some extent
Chicago supplies the southeast with
articles of food, aud its merchants
and manufacturers can not see why
they should not sell ribbons in the
southeast as readily as side meats,
drugs as well as Indian CON, jeWelry
as we'll as compound lard.
Competition is the life of trade,
and no one will object 70 great deal
of it between Chicago and New York
in the southeast. The Chicago Com
nercial association is endeavoring to
supply this section with great
deal of it. 1t is ilvitiug the entire
southeast to go 10 Chicago to trade,
andIit is employing every possible
means to make the invitation ac-
ceptable.
In the long run the south asst will
not have 10 look TO cities a thousand
miles away for goods, but the COM
mercial millennium is not yet fully
due. AT present some goods must be
purchased elsewhere, and it is per-
haps a good plan to divide pur-
chases betWe. the two rival trade
cities. This would put both on their
mettle. This would keep freight
| rates within reasonable bounds.
Up to a recent period New York
has outclas5ed Chicago in the south
east, but the readjustment of freight
rates is leading to an evener divis.
| ion of business. At present the
efforts of Chicago to attract trade are
lending to results, and no doubt the
two cities will each share in about
equal proportions the trade that Car
not be met and satisfied at home.

II FONTS That Way.
A UNION PASSENGER DE-
EPOT FOR GOLDSBORO.

The Oh; mber of Commerce Goes
en- Rex ord, With the Board of
City Alderman, In Favor OF
This Much Needed Public Con-
VenienGe.
At quite a full meeting of the
Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce,
held lest night for the special pur-
p SO, as dvertised, to discuss and
take defin te action upon the ques-
ton of Mon Passenger Depot for
Goldsboro, the following resolution,
after a full and free discussion of the
matter, was adopted:
"Resolv d, that it is the sense of
the Chan ber of Commerce that
Gold5boro should have a Union
Passenger Depot and, that the tracks
leading to such depot should be re-
moved f. M the central street of the
city, and, hat said depot be located
as near "; lnut street as practicable
within tV blocks if possible, and
not further than four blocks from
East and West Centre streets, and
that a commercial track be main
tanned alol g said East and West
Centre st eets, under restricted
movement { f cars, for delivery OF
freight"
The secretary OF the Chamber Was
instructed 10 furnish a copy of this
resolution TO each Of the several
railroads centering in Goidoboro for
their consideration.
That G0ldshoro is to have Union
Passenger Depot, as one OF the &C
omissions of our progress during the
new yea ju t ahead Of US, is set
tied fact, and the action Of the
Chamber of Commerce last night
will greatly simplify and facilitate
the accompljsh hment of the work
which the combined railroads have
already determined upon.

Religion of the Right Sort.
Home.

A few weeks ago the editor of this
paper received cheek in payment
OF an account which was about SIX
years old. The young man who owed
it has since entered the ministry and
in his letter he stated that that set
tied the last of his old accounts. A
religion that will make a man pay
his debts is mighty good kind of
religion, and we don't believe a re-
ligion that won't make man pay his
debts, if he caa, will possibly save
hlm from eternal damnation after he
shuff1 IS off this earth and has to face
the Judgment bar. We don't believe
dead beat has any idea of what
genuine religion is, except what he
has heard people say about it.
