The Goldfeld and Homestake Mining
company have recently secured lease
and bond on a group of claims situate on
Quartz hill, in Nevada N ining district.
The main one of the group and the one
on which the principal work is being
prosecuted at present is the Gold Retort
lode. The property is being operated
through the Lacrosse tunnel, which is 10
a distance OF 2l0 feet. Drifting and
stoping is being carried on in vigorous
manner and the property is looking we'll.
This property produced some good ore
in early days, but has been idle for some
years. The company contemplate put
ting up plant OF machinery on the
property and working it for all it is worth.
Straub Brothers Of Denver are the prime
movers in the company, and Jack Lying
is experimenting mining matters. Every
thing connected with the property is
looking favorable, and the company will
no doubt be shipping good ore before
long.

THE ELKs' PICNIC.
Many from Central in At

The annual picnic which was given by
the Elks Of Denver yesterday at Tolland
was attended by upwards OF 300 Elks
and their friends from this city. Those
going from here drove over and every
vehicle and horse in town was in USE.
Even the numerous burros that stroll
about the streets we're pressed into ser.
vice. The town seemed depopulated as
everyone that could possibly get away
went to the picnic.
Central City lodge for the occasion
had barbecued five or six quarters Of
beef which was served to the picLickers
free. They also contributed several car
loads OF bread. Messrs. Bolsinger, Can
on and Williams cooked the meat and
performed their duties in splendid style.
The meat was served by Messrs. Plem
mons, Dunstone, Gabardi, McCallister
and Rachofsky, of this city, and Henry
Klien Of Golden and these gentlemen
saw to it that everyone was served a
plenty. Besides food there was plenty
OF liquid refreshments and goodly sup

to the taste. Dancing was INDUCED in

THE PRIDE MINE.
A Promising Property Near
the City.
OF OFFICERS OF
THE PEwABIC GO.

Mr.. M. z. McLain who owns a group
Of claims on Mammoth hill near the cele-
brated Brooklyn and Gladstone mines,
is carrying on operations in systematic
and business like manner. The main
lode on which work is being done is the
Pride. The main shaft is down 1sO feet,
with two levels running east and west.
The first levels are run at depth of 100
feet and the lower levels at 180 feet, the
present bottom OF the shaft. Two ore
shoots have been cut in running the
first levels which shoots are 100 feet
apart at this point. These shoots have
also been found in the lower OF 1SO-foot
levels and at this point are only 40 feet
apart, showing that by sinking a short
distance these ore shoots are bound to
come together and make an ore body Of
large dimensions, with almost certainty
OF increased values. The average value
OF all tho ore which has been taken
from the Pride is about 515 per ton in
gold, with some silver. As the ore is
free milling and can be mined and treat
ed for about s. per ton, this is certainly
a good grade Of ore and should pay
handsomely. At present the Pride is
being operated with whim but Mr..
McLain contemplates the erection OF
plant Of machinery ere long, when sink
ing operations and development of this
meritorious property will be inaugurated
on large scale.

A MERRY RAILROAD
WAR IS NOW ON HAND
THE FIRST STEP WAS TAKEN IN
THE REMOVAL OF ROBERT
sLlckENsDERFER.
OPERATING MANAGEMENT OF
EASTERN END OF WABASH
WILL BE CHANGED.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 23.-George
Gould's answer to Joseph Ramsey, Jr.'s
statement of what he did for the Wa
basE. and especially for the Pittsburg
end Of the road, will be to rip out the
Ramsey organization. The first step
toward the ripping was when the
appointment Of First Vice PrestdenI
"A. 3. Worthington to succeed Robert
BIickensderfer in the Office of general
manager of the Wabash.P Pittsbnrg
Terminal end the Wheeling C Lake
Erie in addition TO his duties as vice
president, was made public. The plan
was to withhold this news until af-
ter the second statement to Wabash
stockholders expected from Mr.. Ram
ssey. was made, but part OF fethe ripping
programme having leaked the balance
Is to be put through at once.
1t is possible that the whole oper-
ating management OF the Eastern end
OF the Wabash, the end to which Mr..
Ramsey calls most attention in his
appeal to the shareholders for their
proxies. will be altered, AS indicating
the nature of the Gould view of the
situation the statement is made in
Wabash circles that never. until after
Mr.. Delano became the head of the
Wabash was complete analysis of
the company's earnings made. Not
until then was 1t known what each
division of the system was doing.
It is said that the influence of the
operating and executive officials Of
the Wabash Pittsburg Terminal and
TIE wheeling & Lake Erie will not be
with Mr.. Ramsey in the coming fight
for control OF the road.
These indications of the Gould plan
to attack Mr.. Ramsey's management
of the Wabash would very naturally
develop on the Pittsburg portion Of the
system, where Mr.. Ramsey's work was
most prominent. and where he claims,
as indicated by his appeal to the share.
holders. he did much of his best work!
The Gould answer to Mr.. Ramsey
may, therefore, be expected to take
the cold and cutting form Of Official
orders tearing out the organization
established by Mr.. Ramsey and refer.
red to by him with pride.
