HOTEL GoLDFIELD OPENING
Hundreds of Manager Harris Friends
Congratulate Him

If the success as an agreeable host
which was attained by Manager George
harris of the new Hotel Goldfield on
the evening of November l., the date
when the doors of the comfortably APP
pointed hostelry were first thrown open,
be a criterion by which to gauge the
future, that gentleman is sure to be
one of the most popular of bonifaces
and to attract a clientele whose patron
age annot ut add largely to his bank
roll. Hundreds of his friends were in
attendance at the festivities coincident
to the occasion and each was accorded
courteous greeting by the genial pro-
prietor. No effort was spared to make
the visitors welcome and nothing which
could add to their pleasure was found
wanting. Strains of orchestral music
set scores of feet a dancing to the
merry measures of waltz and two-step
for which the lively popping of the
champagne corks formed a seductive
aftertime. For that %coterie of cpl
cures whose rotundity of girth has
made dancing a task rather than 81
pastime, the sideboard afforded many
attractions with its wealth of dainty
viands and cooling beverages, and was
in fact, the mecca toward which all
footsteps were turned at frequent in.
~tervals.
The many rooms of the hotel were
open for the inspection of the guests
and their cosy furnishings were favor
ably commented on by all. Each apart
ment is equipped with electric lights,
heating and ventilating appliances,
and to each suite a bath is attached.
Altogether the hotel is one of the
most thoroughly up-to-date in Southern
Nevada and under the able manage
'ment of its owner, Mr.. Harris, is sure
to enjoy a liberal patronage.

CAMP McGIBBON

Sherwood McGibbon, the discoverer
of the camp near Thorp's well that
bears his name, and the principal
claims of which are now owned by the
Butte-G oldfeld Mining and Reduction
company, returned from there last
Sunday and brings good reports OF
AS will be remembered by
our readers the shaft on the Lucky
Mac claim of this company Is down 100
feet and the ledge at this point Is 4
feet wide. -Four to six inches of the
ore in the bottom of this shaft is liter
ally matted with wire gold, and in
other places on the company g holdings
ore rich in silver, copper and galena is
found, making it an ideal fiuxing prop
%osition for smelling on the ground. The
property is now being developed by a
tunnel which starts on the ella Mon
ster claim and which will tap the rich
ore shoot on the Lucky Mac at a depth
of 300 feet. This tunnel is now in $50
feet and good paintings are frequently
obtained. There is every reason to be-
lieve that when the tunnel gets under
the rich shoot on the Lucky Mac,
Nevada will be furnished with
another mining sensation.
Longhi and Myers are doing surface
prospecting on their claims on Granite
mountain at Camp McGibbon and have
a good showing. They have uncovered
four feet of ore which goes from $50
to $50 per ton.
Keep one eye on Camp McGibbon.

MOUNT JACKSON PROPERTIES

Copper is the magnet which is at
tracing prospectors and mining men
to the Mount Jackson region about "a
miles south of this camp and as devei-
opment proceeds the probabilities for
the finding of large bodies of that very
valuable commercial product are en-
HANGING. In the past a number of very
promising veins of copper have been
unearthed there, and although mining
is somewhat hampered by a scarcity of
water, exploration work continues
without interruption. Walsh and as
sociates of Goldfeld are exploring an
eight-foot vein with favorable results
and believe that with depth it will
prove up into a money maker. j. Baker
and partners of Reno are also follow
ing a systematic course of surface. work
and their efforts have been rewarded
by the finding of a 5-foot vein that re-
turns gold values as high as SIS per
ton and a large per cent of copper. On
the north side of the mountain Reno
capital is developing a large copper
acreage which is proving up well; and
on the Ray group of claims the same
satisfactory condition of affairs pre-
vail.

LADIES' AID ENTERTAINMENT

One of the ~pleasantest parties OF the
season was given under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid society at its hall last
Monday evening. The lower room was
arranged for dancing and the upper
for progressive whist. Both floors were
artistically decorated with jack-o'-
lanterns, apples and bright hued rib
bons, while the glare of the electric
lights was softened by yellow shades.
The lemonade booth and refreshment
stand were made especially attractive
by festoons of autumn leaves. Young
ladies attired in realistic gypsy cos
tunes revealed the secrets of the fu-
ture to the curious. Dancing was en-
tered into with a spirit and j%oyousness
BETTING the season. Upstairs a more
sedate crowd gathered around the
whist tables and at the close of the
allotted number of games the names of
the winners of the different prizes
were announced as follows: Ladies'
first prize, silver tray for the dressing
table, Mrs. f. L. Mcclure; second prize,
leather telephone list, Mrs. M. E.
Lewis; gentlemen's first prize, silver
card case, j. F. Douglas; second prize,
hand painted telephone list, Mr.. Hen
ningsen.

FAREWELL PARTY

Wednesday afternoon about fifty
ladies gathered in Ladies Aid hall at
the invitation of the members of the
Ladies' Aid society who had decided
to dispense with the usual business
meeting and give a farewell party TO
Mrs. Edward T. Patrick instead. Two
hours were devoted to whist and a
cut glass vase was awarded Miss Ethel
l.. Fletcher as a reward for the highest
score. Mrs. Alfred Sander, having the
next highest received a three-piece
tea set of delicate china. Refreshments
were served at ) O'Clock. AS a token
of appreciation of her work as presi.
dent of the society a handsome gold

sentation speech was made by Mrs.
Thad Hoppin who in well chosen words
expressed regret at the departure IF
Mrs. Patrick and the esteem with
which she is regarded by all.

DENIES MuRPHY's ASSERTIONS

w. /. Booth, a prominent real estate
man of Goldfeld, denies the truth of
the assertions made by John Murphy
with whom he has had an alteration
over the ownership or a lot. As a r.
suit of the trouble charges and counter
charges have been made by the inter
ested parties and each has caused \
warrant to be issued for the arrest of
the other. Mr.. Booth has instituted
suit on an assault and battery charge
and Murphy has retaiiated by fling
suit against Booth on a felony charge
for house breaking. Both cases are to
be heard within a few days by the
local justice OF the peace. Mr.. Booth
admits entering a tent adjoining the
lot over which the trouble originated,
but denies that it was owned by a per-
son other than himself. Aside from
that he denies the charges of Mr.. Mur
ply in all respects.

GOVERNOR VISITS CAMP
Chief Executive Of Nevada Enthusiastic
in His Praise of Goldfeld

John Sparks, governor of Nevada,
was in Goldfeld a few days ago en-
route to the Gold Mountain district
where he is interested in the Gold Crest
property. Accompanying the governor
were DIR. w. G. Miller, c. H. Manville,
F. f. Mansfield and M. ID. Kelly of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, j. III. Nevin,
bullion tax collector of Nevada and p.
j. Somers, former mayor of Milwaukee,
and ex-member Of congress, who now
makes his home at Reno. Mr.. Somers
is president of the Gold Crest COM
pany. During their stay in camp the
party visited a number o. the promi-
nent mines and also inspected the
Frank mill.
Governor Sparks was particularly
enthusiastic in his praise of Goldfeld
and the other gentlemen were likewise
favorably impressed with the district.
The former stated that a markell
change had taken place in the city
since his former visit in March and
that the additional signs of industry
and thrift filed him with surprise and
qualification. He believed they were
indicative of a prosperity long to be
continued; a prosperity which was to
add greatly to Nevada's prestige and
wealth. Prior to their departure the
party visited the Montezuma club and
were entertained by the members. They
congratulated the officers on it's com
Portable appointments and on leaving
expressed their appreciation for the
courtesies extended.

STILL PROGRESSING
Night Force Put On to Handle Mail N
Goldfield Postofice.

Ever since the days when the tent
shaeks were relegated to the mesquite
patch and were superseded in the city
proper by comfortable homes, Goldfeld
has been taking on metropolitan airs
and ~arraying herself in fashionable at
tire. Massive stone business blocks
now occupy the former sites of single
story board structures and the paper
mache hotels have given place to roomy
and adequate hostelries. The latest
innovation, and one which is thoroughly
appreciated by the public, is the
point. Where heretofore mail from
outside points was held over in Tono-
pah for IL hours it now comes direct
to Goldfeld much to the advantage and
satisfaction of the business men and
residents in general.
The agreeable change became opera
tive on November l, and as a result
Uncle Sam is decidedly popular here.
A night force of three men is employed
at the local postofice in distributing
the mail, which is now ready for deliv'
ery at $3.50 o'clock each morning in
stead of at $3.50 p. m, formerly the
rule. The general delivery window IS
open continuously on each day of the
week, save Sunday, from $3.50 a. m
to 6 p. M, and the registered letter and
money order windows are open from
$3.50 a. m. to $3.50 p. m. In the latter
connection Postmaster Collins states
that all outgoing registered mail must
be in the office not later than 5 p. m
and all other mail by HOO p. IN.
to insure its shipment on the following
mornings train. He also states that
the new office force is working ade
quately and that the volume of bust
ness is constantly increasing.
When once Uncle Sam loosens up his
purse strings he is inclined to be
pretty generous sort of a fellow as il
evidenced by the fact that he has
fitted up a comfortably appointed pri
vate office for Mr.. Collins. 1t contains
a handsome roll top desk, a number OF
rest inviting chairs, and the floor il
covered by a heavy carpet of dainty
pattern.

CuPRITE

Reports from the South Goldfeld
Mining company's property in the Cup
rite district indicate the making of \
valuable mine. Samples taken from
and prospect work run from
$3.50 to 5000 per ton, the values be
ing mostly gold.
The formation on this property is
similar to that of the Jumbo, good
lodges and large groupings being much
in evidence.
The Cuprite district is rapidly com
ing to the front, and is already ship
ping ore, a shipment sent out by the
Tri-Metal company running 1926 per

TUNGSTEN r
Has Been Found in Paying Quantities
in Nevada

In the Mammoth mining district
about a hundred miles north and east
from Goldfeld a vein of ore 3h feet
wide has been uncovered at a depth
of 100 feet showing 11.S0 per cent
tungstic acid.
This vein was discovered in the old
workings Of a property mined years
ago for silver and appears to lie along
side the silver vein, crosscuts IN the
different shafts on the property dis
closing thin same vein in a number of
places.
The following letter from Barnes and
tombstone, assayers, Denver, Colorado,
will give a better idea of what an i'm
portant discovery this is, to the min
eral product of Nevada:
w. W. Edwards:
Dear Sir-Your sample sent to be
assayed for tungsten contains per en-
acid. The mineral in the rock is
"Scheelite" calcium Tungstate."
The pure mineral according to Dana
should carry about 1880 per cent
tungstic acid, 20.30 per cent calcium
(lime), 40 per cent molybdic acid. A
characteristic test shows this to con-
tain some ~molybdenum.
There is a market here in Denver for
tungsten ore carrying 60 per eeut
and over tungstic acid at about $500
per unit; i. e., per cent; in other words
your ore concentrated about FIVE into
one would make a marketable product
worth in Denver about $500 per ton.
Yours truly,
BARNES & TOMBSTONE.
Samples of this ore can be seen at
the Office of Wise & Brown in the
State Bank & Trust Co. building.
