Funds amply sufficient have oeen
provided for the energetic exploita-
tion of the property of the Gold Crest
Mining Company and a large reduction
plant is being seriously considered.
The money for this purpose was Sc
cured in San Francisco but a wire
was had by the management from
New York people that they also were
willing to come into the proposition,
but this was not necessary.
The Nevada State Journal has at all
times desired to be conservative, and
yet telling the exact truth, when the
truth was favorable to a mining prop
erty, can in no sense be termed "too
enthusiastic for we believe that it
is fully as bad for a mining region to
speak in doubtful or e~quivocal terms
when no doubt exists, as to directly
adversely criticise. 1t was with the
end in view that the mining districts
should be honestly presented to the
public, that the mining editor spent
several weeks recently in the south
ern districts, and most certainly a
personal examination by an expert
enced mar guarantees to Journal
readers much more reliable mining
news thar that which can possibly be
secured at second hand. And it would
seem that properties which had favor
able mention in these columns appear
on second sober thought to be full
ly as good as stated by us, and it is
certainly pleasant to the Journal
management to know that reputable
experts who have since made ex-
haustive examinations, not only re-
ported favorably, but these reports
were of sufficient warrant to induce
people of means to at once take over
and pay cash for an interest large
enough to insure not only the active
exploitation of the property on an
extensive scale, but place ample funds
in the treasury to install a reduction
plant commensurate with the contem-
plated output.
And it is with some pride that the
Journal points to the fact that among
the properties visited on this timer
airy was that of the Gold Crest Mining
company whose enormous holdings
are situated midway between Goldfeld
and Bullfrog, at the point where the
Gold Mountain range crosses the
Grapevine range, near the northern
end of Death valley, and this cross
ing of two ranges undoubtedly ac-
counts for the wonderfully massive
veins far exceeding in size and rich
ness on the surface anything hereto
fore found at Virginia City, Tonopaa,
Goldfeld, Ida, or Whitehorse district.
The crossing of the two ranges pro-
duces Federal peak, which is on the
property of the Gold Crest company.
This peak has an elevation of nearly
5000 feet, and is the highest point be-
tween Goldheld and Bullfrog. The
company owns "a claims, Is OF which
were originally located by Captain
Norfolk between 1901 and 1902, and
the latter being the result of nearly
one years prospecting, examination
and sampling, before Tonopah or
Goldfeld was dreamed of.
The phenomenal outcrop OF porphyry
dykes is viewed with amazement by all
who have examined the property, and
when it is known that these enormous
dykes trend with great quartz out
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-12-01

crops, which show paintings enormous
ly rich in free gold, some faint idea
may be had of the immensity Of the
proposition.
A peculiar, yet favorable feature,
will be noted in the existence of o
number of cross veins; and it is con-
ceded by experts of international rep
~utation, that at the junction of these
cross veins shoots of fabulous value
may be reasonably expected. And
while perhaps a thousand samples
have been taken, a few of the results
obtained from an exhaustive examina-
tion will indicate that the proposition
is one of great merit. Assays show
ing $42.45, $4,000, $154.75, SIS, $32,
500, s129.25, SIS, 50, 1876, s14, and
all ATTAINED within a few feet of the
grass roots, and more recently assays
have been made as high as $1,000 in
gold, the extent of the proposition In
not be easily imagined, and apropos,
it may be said, that during a recent
visit of Gov. John Sparks, c. B. Man
vile, Fred Mansfield, DIR. Miller and NJ.
d. Kelly of Milwaukee and Hon. Peter
Somers, J. H. Neven, H. ID. Kelly, Aug
ust Hanson and the writer, samples
were knocked from the groupings in
the presence of all of us from at least
three different places, rich in free
gold.
A favorable feature is the fact that
great depth IN the lode can be at
tanned by tunnel, which is conceded to
be the most economical and judicious
method of thoroughly exploiting any
proposition, and two springs now fur
nish ample water for all purposes; and
there is sufficient wood adjacent TO:
mining timbers.
A short distance south of the Gold
Crest, and on the same lead, is the
well known property of the Bonnie
Clare Mining and Milling company,
which has been operated at a large
profit for a number of years, and the
returns from the operations of the
stamp mill a few miles distant, at
Thorp's Wells, have been sufficient to
furnish the means necessary to prose-
cute work and return a dividend to the
lucky owners fer several years.
The -Goldfeld, a controlling
interest in which was recently sold
for 100000 cash to Eastern people,
adjoins the Gold Crest property. The
Nevada-G oldfeld has about 10000 tons
of ore that will average 5000 per ton
in gold, already blocked out, besides
several thousand tons of a lower grade.
This corporation has commenced sink
ing a shaft which will be driven down
800 or 1000 feet if necessary in rider
reach water level, and then cross
cut for the ore shoot, and 1T IS he
lieved that at water level, the c.,a,.-
acter of the formation will change and
sulphides will come in When this
depth is reached it is believed that the
and character of the ore
will be so well defined and demon
strated that a plant can be installed
which will save all the values.
The directors of the Gold Crest
company are: John Sparks, governor OF
Nevada; c. F. P. Pullen, cashier Ger
man-American bank, Milwaukee; M. d.
Kelly, capitalist and investment brok-

SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY.
Father of Fred Van wambeke Fears
He was Killed in Southern Nevada.

4 dthck VI kfcu s1s Wahabcnc cakS
He was Killed in Southern Nevada.
Not hearing from his SON Fred since
March Z, on which date he is supposed
to have left Steamboat, Nevada. for
Goldfeld, Henry Van wambeke, a gro
Ger and market man of Elgin, Illinois,
fears that the boy has been foully
dealt with. The following clipping
from the Elgin Daily Courier, of Elgin,
Illinois, gives in detail the facts con-
nected with the MYSTERY. Anyone hav-
ing knowledge of the lads movemen
since the date mentioned are requested
to forward their information to Mr..
Van Wambeke.
"With no word from his son Fred
since March Z of this year, Henry Van
Wambeke, proprietor of the grocery
and meat market at sol jefferson ave-
nue., fears that the young man has died
and been buried in an unknown grave
or has met with foul play in the min
ing district of Nevada, where he went
a year ago.
Erred Van Wambeke is 21 years OF
age. He went west about a year ago
and located at Steamboat, Nevada,
where he was last heard of March Z or
this year. On that date he wrote to
his father. Mr.. Van Wambeke is the
father of eight sons and Fred was yer,s
regular about writing home, as he was
fond of his younger brothers and was
always glad to hear from his relatives.
"Since the SON Is letters have failed
to come the parents and relatives
have become very anxious regarding
Fred's welfare and nave instituted A
vigorous search in the hope of learning
what has befallen him. Another son,
Roy, is now in Nevada, where he has
been for four weeks searching for his
brother, but hasn't made any discove--
les. He writes to his father each day.
SIN Fred's last letter he said thai
he was going to Goldfeld, Nevada, :.
mining camp about twelve miles from
the famous Comstock mines. He was
to write to the people with whom he
had made his home at Steamboat and
let them know his address as soon as
he located, but they have not heard
from him. Fred had worked steadily
all winter and being of good habits
undoubtedly accumulated quite a sum
of money. For this reason it is feared
he may have been robbed and slain.
The father is worried regarding the
mysterious disappearance of his s,n
and has sent out postal cards and cir
culars bearing his photograph and de-
scription.
Erred Van Wambeke is well known
in Elgin, having been a grocery clerk
and also worked at the butcher trade
for a short time.
"a reward of $40 has been offered
for information that will lead to the
finding of the missing man.

HALF A HUNDRED
PERISH IN WRECK

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 19.-Half a
hundred people, mostly negroes, lost
their lives in the wreck of the Allan
tic Coast line excursion train, which
plunged through an open draw bridge,
eight miles from here.
The victims were pinioned In the
wreckage of the cars which lie In
twenty-five feet of water and came to
their death by drowning.
The list Of injured. so far as can
be ascertained, number nearly one
hundred, though most Of these are
slightly hurt.
Among the victims, the only white
ones were Edward Joliffe, manager OF
the excursion, and Edward Forbes,
who assisted him, both Of G~reenville,
n. G.
The Merritt wrecking organization
dispatched an expedition to the scene
for the purpose Of raising the sunken
cars. which lie in about twenty-five
feet of water. Until the cars are
raised, an accurate estimate OF the
number of dead is impracticable.
AT 1890 yesterday morning only
twelve bodies had been recovered
but some eighty of the excursionlsts
are still missing and it is feared that
a large number of these are at the
bottom of the river.

CORTELYOU MAY
SUCCEED SHAW

washington, d. c., Aug. lit is
rumored that President Roosevelt
has rendered the secretaryship Of the
treasury to George B.. Cortelyou. Mr..
Cortelyou, to the surprise of some of
his cose friends, is hesitating about
accepting.
He knows the ms and outs of the
postal service, as he grew up in that
department. He feels that he can
administer the affairs of that Organ
ization satisfactorily and hesitates a.
bout venturing into unknown fields,
even though the move would place him
nearer the head of the cabinet table
and put him in touch with big finan-
cial interests.
It is said that If Mr.. Cortelyou &C
cepts the presidents offer, Harry S.
New Of Indianapolis will be invited
to enter the cabinet as postmaster
general. The tender of the postmaster
generalship has not been made to
Capt. New nor will it be until Mr.. Cor
telyou makes up his mind to take tine
treasury portfolio. But there is good
reason to believe that the president
would like to have Mr.. New in his
official family.

Proof That Moon is Uninhabited.

The moon being much the nearest
to us of the heavenly bodies, we can
pronounce more definitely in its case
than In any other. We know that
neither air nor water exists on the
moon in quantities sufficient to be per-
ceived by the most delicate tests at
u command. It Is certain that the
moons atmosphere, II any exists, is
less than the thousandth part of the
density OF that around us. The vacu-
I'M is greater than any ordinary air
pump Is capable Of producing. We
can hardly suppose that SO small a
quantity Of air could be OF any bene-
fit whatever In sustaining life; an
animal that could get along on so
little could get along on none at all.
But the proof of the absence of life
Is yet stronger when we consider the
results Of actual telescope observa-
ton. IN object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
noon. IL anything like vegetation
were present IN its surface we should
see the changes which It would under
go in the course OF a month, during
n portion of which II would be ex-
posed to the rays OF the unclouded
sun, and during another to the in
tense cold of space.-Prof. Newcomb
In Harper's Magazine.
