CHICAGO STOCK BROKER
Visiting in Goldfield and Enthused
Over Possibilities.

y. Z. Harlan, one OF the largest stoci
brokers of Chicago, arrived in doldtielaS
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Harlan ha#
been very successful in placing gooA
Goldheld stocks in the east, his office
being recognized as eastern headquarters
for Goldfield stocks, and is now on u
visit to southern Nevada to look over
the development work in progress
in TIE various camps. He stated to q
News representative Yesterday, that
Chicago inves, or. were veil pleased with
Their holdings III this section and are
eager to invest their money IN good
stocks in southern Nevada. There is
abundance of money in the Middle
Western states seeking legitimate in
vestment," said Mr. Harlan, land CHI
cago banks were never known to have
such large surpluses on hand, and the
savings banks show larger deposits Of
money now held in trust for the work
ing people than for many years past,
In speaking Of ttoldtield Mr. Harlan
garding Goldfeld. ! expected to see a
good sized camp such az we find in Colo
RADIO after mining excitement, but |
never expected to find modern cititied
camp such as you have in Goldteld at
this time, and the development OF the
different properties mas been wonderful.
1t is remarkable tact that wherever
any extensive development work has
done o"e Is encountered even in the
most remote corners of the district, and
think that with the advent OF the rail-
road, which Is promised Guldtield this
summer, there will be u boom in this
section never before known in the his-
tory OF the state.
The special mission of Mr. Harlan to
Goldfeld Is 10 start active development
work on the property of the Nevada
Queen Rec Gold Mining company, which
has property adjoining the SANDSTONE,
Dixie. Financial Securities company
group, and Sassy Sal The Queen Bee
is backed by some of the most prorri-
nent financial men of Chicago, Duluth
and Creston, Iowa, and with proper de
velopment work will rank among the
best producers in the Goldfeld district.

A BIG MINING DEAL
Good Claims in Several Camps Pur.
chased by Chicagoan.

One of the largest mining transac-
tions ever made in Goldfield was deal
turned on Thursday by Messrs. G. S.
Keafer and c. F. Nichols to b. b. Har-
Ian of Chicago, Ill. The deal takes in
a number of groups located in the vari-
Gus districts of southern Nevada and
comprises 40 acres adjoining the Tin
Horn claim in Goldfeld, two full claims
the property owned by the
Financial Securities company in Gold
Crater, 40 acres lying between the Ladd
& Benson and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Bullfrog; 20 acres of the extension of the
Milwaukee, famous producer OF Ida; /;
two full claims adjoining the Masonic
Banquet and Red Dirt claims in kawich
and 20 acres adjoining the Tonopah Ex-
tension in Tonopah, making one of the
best collections of good properties ever
grouped together in Nevada. The con-
siderations were not made public but
cash payments, it is understood, will
run into the hundreds OF thousands.
The company will be fioated in the east
and will have the backing of some of
the best financial men in the eastern
states. Active development work will
begin on all the properties in a short
time, and it is safe to say that the new
company will begin shipping ore from
several of its properties just as soon as
active development work is begun.

MALCOLM MACDONALD
And Party Returns With Good News
From Beatty.

Malcolm Macdonald, Lewis Parkhurst,
James c. Connor and Frank Gilpin re-
turned early in the week from Beatty
and the Bullfrog distIicts.
When seen by News man, Mr.. Mac
donald confirmed the report that the
Montgomery Shoshone bonanza was
looking better than ever. The tunnel is
in the vein 81 feet and only one wall
has as yet been located. The remark
ably high values are still maintained,
while in winze which is being sunk
from the tunnel level the values are get
ting even better with depth This winze
is now down 30 feet. "Bob" Montgom-
cry surely made a ten-strike when he
found the great Shoshone.
The Shoshone- Polaris company, which
has the extension of the Shoshone ledge,
has recently been incorporated with
Malcolm Macdonald, president, Lewis
Parkhurst, vice president; E. A. Mont
gomery, secretary and treasurer. They
have already opened up the Shoshone
ledge at point 700 feet from the Mont
gomery -Shoshone workings. The ore is
of shipping grade, which proves up a
good bit of ground. \ drift will he run
to connect with the Montgomery-Sho
shone workings.
Adjoining the Shoshone- Polaris is the
Montgomery Mountain Mining compa-
ny. OF which d. H. Peery is the leading
spirit and which also has the extension
OF the Shoshone ledge.
Mr.. Macdonald has taken an interest
in the Beatty townsite and feels assured
that the town will be the metropolis OF
the Beatty -Bullfrog country. A big ho-
tel WI Il socn be huil, and a bank, estab--
lished. Beatty, with good watAr sup
ply, is the logical point for mills and
several are already being arranged for.
Trees are being planted and Beatty will
soon become quite cityfied.
Mr.. Macdonald has also bought an in
terest in the Nevada Auto company,
which will run machines from Tonopah,
through Goldfeld, on to Beatty, Rhyo-
lite. Bullfrog and Gold Center, and then
through to Las Vegas on the Clark road.
During the hottest weather the run will
be made at night. Three large Ash. p.
Pope-Toledo machines are on the road
and Mr.. Macdonald will have one for his
private use.
The auto company will also run line
to kawich, which will come rapidly to
the front since an ample water supply
has been found.

G0ldield Diamond.

On Saturday last very agreeable sur
prise was given the management of the
Goldfeld Diamond Mining company.
At the bottom of shaft No. 4, which is
So feet deep, as the last blast went off
good flow OF water came in from the
ledge. This has occurred with every big
shipper in the Goldfeld district--Com-
bination, January, Jumbo, Florence,
Quartzite, Red TOP and Spokane--and
it is now safe to say that the Goldfeld
Diamond will soon be added to the ship
pers' list. As strange as it may seem,
this has never occurred with nom pro-
ducer in this district. So positive is the
management that it is preparing to put
up steam hoist and install pumping
plant This will be done with the least
possible delay and work will be resumed
as soon as completed. The COMPANY has
sufficient finds in the treasury 70 COM

Blue Bull.

The Hat claim owned by the Blue Bull
company is being thoroughly prospected
by the company and three sets OF
lessees. Pay assays have been secured
from, every hole aryk Oh the big ledge
which runs through the claim, but up to
date the streaks of quartz have not been
wide enough to work at profit. Corser
and Terrill on their block OF ground
have shaft down SO feet and in sinking
it entered several stringers and kidneys
of high grade obtaining assays that went
as high as $500. On the adjoining block
to the south Knott and Baker have in
stalled a gasoline hoist and are working
three shifts. South of this block Rey-
nolds and associates are sinking on the
big dyke and are in low grade ore, but
occasionally get an assay that runs away
in the pictures.

Florence.

The owners of the Florence decided
some time ago to incorporate their prop
critics and on the 5th the Florence-Gold-
field Mining company was born. The
company is capitalized for l,250,0OO
shares 81 each. T. 6. Lockhart was
elected president; A. D. Parker, vice
president and treasurer, and Frank OH
yer, secretary and superintendent. These
gentlemen, with John McKane and j. p.
Hennessy, will make up the board OF di-
rectors for the ensuing year. The office
of the secretary will be at the mine. 1t
is not likely that any of the stock will
be sold at present, if ever, as the mine
is producing heavily and with more
high-grade blocked out than at any time
in it's history. The ore shoot on the new
vein has been proven up for distance
of 1O2 feet at the 25O-foot level. 1t car
ries two feet of high grade the entire
distance. There is streak in 1t SIX to
eight inches wide that runs better than
81 900 ton. The entire vein has an
average width of IS feet and 1t is all pay
rock. The work of sinking the shaft
and timbering it from the 25O to the 300
foot point was accomplished in ten days.
This is remarkably fast work and would
receive favorable comment in any min

The SandstOrm.

The New Western Reduction company
has arranged with the Sandstorm man
agement to make test run on the big
mill dump of second-grade ore piled up
on lease No. ). There is about 400 tons
of this material which will run from $50
to $50. Sacking for the first shipment
will begin tomorrow and if the values
and work are satisfactory the entire
dump will be sent to this mill as fast as
it can be handled. 1t is estimated that
there is $4,000 to $1,000 in this dump.
The work of breaking ore in the first
level is going forward steadily with very
satisfactory results. An average OF 10
tons day is now being lifted to the sur
face. This is from the work of drifting
only, no stopping yet being done. The
incline shaft is now down about l05 feet
In about fifteen days it is expected that
crosscutting for second level $50 feet
down will begin.

Queen Group Sold.

What is known as the Qneen group of
claims situated some two miles east of
town were sold to eastern investors last
Wednesday, the consideration being
$32, 900. The purchasers were repre-
sented here by Donald Ferguson, the
we'll known mining engineer. $4,000
was paid when the papers were placed
in escrow, SIS 900 more will be due in 80
days and the balance Of $4,000 in six
months. The properties consist of the
Queen, King, Little Joe, Iconoclast and
Saratoga, and contain 56 acres. The
territory has been in litigation for the
past eight months but before the money
was paid Mr.. Ferguson got the litigants
together and secured a perfect title. The
property is well located and is cut by a
strong ledge. The deepest shaft on the
ground is only IA feet but ore taken from
the bottom Of it assayed as high as $32.
The overflow from the vein for a dis
tance of 200 feet pans. Work will be
started at once and by trenching the
best place TO sink shaft will be deter
mined. A plant of machinery will be
installed in the near future. The own

The January.

The new No. ) Cameron pump has
arrived and the work of unwatering the
mine is now under way. A large bucket
is being used and the water is being
steadily lowered, and when the station
at the 280-fo foot or bottom level is reached
the steam pump will be put in opera
alton and it will not have to work at
anything like its full capacity to keep
the mine free of water. Three shifts
will be put on drifting on the vein.
Very little attention will be paid to ore
production as the main object in run
ming this drift is to determine where the
new working shaft is to be sunk. About
twenty tons OF ore from the low grade
dump is being milled at the Combina
ton and a good sized shipment was sent
to the Goldfield Reduction plant this
week Albert Roberts, formerly of the
Combination and st. Ives has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the mine,
made vacant by the resignation of Sol
Camp.

COldfeld Gold Dust.

The shaft of the Goldtield Gold Dust
company is now 60 feet deep and from
the bottom there is 5O-foot drift to the
west. A good looking ledge "as en-
countered at depth of 55 feet and the
object of the development work now be-
ing done is to fully determine the i'm
portanee OF the discovery. Work is be-
ing prosecuted steadily and the property
is considered promising prospect with
good chance Of becoming producer.
The Simmer0ne.
On the Simmerone drift is being run
from the l00-foot point in the main
shaft which is 20 feet deep. The drift is
in ore that goes $50 to $50 per ton, but
when the two shafts are connected, cross
cutting and raising will begin to again
tap the Simmerone fiat ledge which con-
tains such sensatiOnally rich ore.
