SEPTEMBER AND
MORNING STAR
WeIl.KnownTrust Company Adds
to Its Holdings West of the
Mohawk and Organizes
the Silver Pick Ex.
tension Company

The sensational developments follow
ing exhaustive work in the vicinity of
the Goldfeld Mohawk continue to prove
all claims made for the area lying i'm
mediately north and east of Goldfield as
the richest spot on the globe.
Properties in the vicinity of the great
bonanza mines of that neighborhood are
no sooner offered for sale than they are
picked up by big operators. The pur
chases of the Lou Dillon, and White
Rock groups were recently consum-
mated on their especially good surface
showings by syndicates that have begun
exhaustive development work with a
view to opening at depth the continue
tion of the Mohawk, Jumbo. Red Top
and Combination veins. The Laguna
records one of the most significant
strikes of the year. and the stock is
soaring to par. Practically every shaft
that is being lowered along the course
of this extraordinary vein system is dis
closing high grade values, as shown on
the Silver Pick, Lou Dillon, and others
in the direction of Columbia mountain.
One of the latest and most important
deals of the past fortnight in this fav-
ored spot is the purchase by the l.. NJ
Sullivan Trust company of the Morning
Star group. consisting of the Morning
Star and September claims. These ad-
join the Silver Pick and endline the Lou
Dillon. The property is situated within
1900 feet of the Combination and Mo-
hawk, and directly in line with the trend
of the great gold veins of the locality
Surface exploration has disclosed two
strongly defined and heavily mineralized
veins of ore that show high values at
surface. The property is in every sense
of the word choice, inside acreage, in
the immediate vicinity of the richest
group of mines in the state.
The Trust company announces the in
corporation of the Mohawk Annex Min
ing company to develop this property.
1t is underwriting the treasury re-
serve at % cents per share. The com
pany management states that active de-
velopment work will be Immediately in
augurated. A 10O-horse power electric
hoist has been ordered for both the Lou
Dillon and the new company.

scramble for leasing ground in the
neighborhood of the original strike and
over wide extent of country the great
Mohawk lode has been proven. Then
came up a little incident in the shape of
an injunction restraining the lessees ON
the Kalfus block of Mohawk from ship
ping. This injunction was scured by
the Combination company against the
Mohawk. Ish and Sheets on the Com
bination continued to ship ore at the
rte of $4,000 a day claiming that they
had the apex of the shoot. Another
judge of higher court decided that Ish
and Sheets and the Combination COM
pany should be restrained from ship
ping any ore until the little question of
apex should be settled.
In the meantime Wingfsld and his as
sociates have not been idle. The con-
troll of the Goldfeld Mining company
owning the January was purchased by
him. An underground survey is being
made and there is talk of the January
having the apex of the Combination.
The best legal talent in the country
has been employed on both sides as we'll
as the best mining engineer and experts
A big fight seems imminent but the
serious and that a company will be or
ganized to take over all these warning
properties and probably the Florence
Laguna and Combination Fraction in
cluded. 1t will be capitalized at the
rate of $40.000.00 and the controlling in
terest in the stock will be held by Wing
field and j. III. Carstairs and their asso-
ciates. Wingfield is associated with
with Senator Nixon and Carstairs has
the backing of the Philadelphia crowd
who own the greater portion of the stock
Of the Tonopah mines as well as of the
Tonopah- -Goldfeld railway now being
extended to Bullfrog. 1t is a stiff COM
bination of capital.
AT the present time the output from
the mines mentioned that are likely to
go into the merger is not less than $3,
100000 a month. Before the year is
over the indications are that 1t will
show an increase of so per cent.

The controlling interest in the stock
of the Jumbo and Red Top mines passed
into the hands of George Wingfield and
associates last Wednesday evening The
controlling interest in the stock of each
of the companies was held by Charles d.
Taylor. the locator of both properties.
and the price per share was s2.10 or at
the rate of $2,1OO,0OO for each of the
mines. Immediately after the news of
the sale became known stock spectators
made a rush to get hold of the shares of
Jumbo and Red Top and as a result both
are now quoted in the neighborhood of
81 a share higher than it was this time
last week and so cents more than was
paid for it by Wingfield and associates.
The Importance to stockholders of the
change in the management of both
mines was recognized by residents of
Goldfield at once. as it was known that
work would be pushed from now on un-
der the direction of Mr.. Wingfeld and
that means that both mines will become
heavy producers and dividend payers.
The ore is in sight to accomplish this,
and that in the near future.
Last Monday d. Mackenzie & Co. Sc
cured an option on the controlling inter-
est of the Jumbo at the same price that
it was secured by Mr.. Wingfield For
some reason or other the Mackenzie peo-
pie did not meet the payment of $750.O0O
although the money was ready. Then
the option of few hours was granted
to Wingfield by Taylor and the deal was
closed in a few minutes. He with J. II.
Carstairs OF Philadelphia and the Sulli-
van Investment company of Goldleld
took all the stock held by Taylor and
his friends. 1t is the opinion of those
that know what the showing is on the
Jumbo ground that the controlling in
terest was bought for great deal less
than the value of the mine.
The company is capitalized $1,000
900 in shares of 81 each. There are
800, 900 shares of treasury stock. None
of it has been sold The company has
paid one dividend of $4,000.

PAWNEE COMPANY

The Goldfeld Midnight-Pawnee COM

The Midnight claim of the company
comprises a trife less than a full claim
and adjoins the Black Butte on the east
The Black Butte is one of the most
promising mines in the district, and
from time to time has produced some
very high grade ore; perhaps $50 sacks
of good ore are now piled on the dump
awaiting shipment AS the ledges of the
Black Butte seem to run about east and
west, it would seem that some of them
at least, must pass through the Mid
night claim of the Goldfield Midnight
Pawnee company, and it was upon this
theory that the recent purchase was
made.
The company owns still another claim
further east but in unproven territory
The superintendent of the Midnight
Pawnee, Harry Kane, has put six men
to work upon the Midnight claim and is
trenching to determine where to sink. A
hoist has been ordered and working
shaft will be started at once. The COM
pany has a good cash reserve, and with
excellent prospects, will use great vigor
i'm their operations. p. S. Montague of
San Francisco is president of the COM
pany, Webb Parkinson. secretary, and
H. L. Mushett and Catlin &c Powell di-
rectors. The deal was engineered by III.
ID. McMasters and Webb Parkinson. The
stock became active the moment it was
listed.

The Western Exploitation company
has made a deal with the old Montezuma

development work, which will put new
life in the old camp, as these fine prop
critics have been dormant since the
slump in silver; but at the present prices
of the white metal they will undoubtedly
be paying investments.

UP GOLD MOUNTAIN DISTRICT

reached the point of 460 feet. At this
depth crosscuts have been run to cut the
several lodges of the property and the
first ledge has recently been reached
showing four feet of free milling ore
that averages better than $40 to the
ton. This extremely good showing at
depth determines definitely the future
of what promises to be wonderful
property, and also proves up the value
of the Gold Mountain district for live
lodges at great depth. AS soon as other
lodges are tapped and levels run, which
will be at the 100-foot point 1T will be
difficult to estimate the tonnage OF the
Nevada Goldfield.
The company has been working over
20 men the last year and as soon as sur
ficient ore is blocked out will start the
construction of a mill. The time set Tor
the mill is January 1st. The Goldfield
& Bullfrog railroad is now at Thorp's
wells. miles from the mine, and will
build spur to the Nevada Goldfeld
mine.

MAGNET GETS ORE OUT
IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT

A strike has been made on the Gold

Mining company lying in southeriV
direction from Diamondfield. This de-
velopment is company work They are
crosscutting on the vein which is about
20 feet in width and carries values run

property are getting values running
from IS to sl2 at a depth of IA feet. The
stock has been listed on the Goldfield
Exchange, also in New YORK CITY, anu
soon will be on the San Francisco eA-
change. The property is most promls-
ing one and it's successes in finding ore
in that particular district is most

GETS OPTION ON RED TOP

George Wingfield and ]. VI. Carstairs
have secured short time option on the
controlling interest of the Red Top from
C. D. Taylor and associates. A pay
ment has been made to bind the bargain
and the price per share that Taylor will
receive will be the same as he received
for his Jumbo holdings He had in his
name when the option was given $4,000
shares of the capital stock of 100000

of Geo f. McCleTand. $4,000 r. l..
Colburn and W. f. Hughey refused to
sell their stock at the price accepted by

money
The first shipment from the Red Top
which endlines the Jumbo on the north
and sidelines the Mohawk on the east
was made about II months ago The
ground has been proven TO a depth of 100
feet and in the different levels an ore
body that in places is r40 feet wide has
been opened and is in evidence. 1t is
estimated that there is fully sS,000,000
worth of ore blocked out. A new plant
of machinery capable of working to
depth of 1000 feet is being installed.

 New York with it's fight between Hughes and Hearst for the governor ship, has furnished the spectacular fea- ture of the campaign for the entire country. Here the red fire will not cease burning until the dawn of Tues day, when the white heat of battle will take its place. Perhaps the most mo- table feature of the campaign has been the extent to which the personality of President Roosevelt has been brought forward.
 Support the president was the bat tie cry of the Republicans in every congressional district.
 We can support him better than you," was the defiant answer of some of the leaders of the Democracy
 President Roosevelt has made 1t known to the country that he wants a Republican Congress and all but two of his cabinet officers have taken the stump to further this desire of their chief.

 Columbus. O.. Nov. 3-For an "off year, the short campaign just closing in Ohio was particular strenuous. Prominent speakers from other States were heard and local orators were at work early and late.
 Carmi Thompson, Republican, and Samuel A. Hoskins. Democrat, lead their respective tickets as candidates for Secretary of State, and as both have frankly approved recent temperance legislation. less attention has been paid to the issue which decided the Governorshrip one year ago.
 The real contest, however, has been on Congressman. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, Secretary of War Taft, Vice President Fairbanks. Senators Beveridge. Foraker and others urged the election of Republican Congress- men to support President Rooseveit's policies.
 William J. Bryan. on the other side, maintained that President Roosevelt had adopted Democratic principles and that a Democratic House would more properly sustain him. In general, how ever, the Democrats dwelt on State and local issues. while the Republicans dis cussed national questions. Of the local contests that in Hamilton County for judges was probably the most bitter the Democrats being assisted by a cit izen's municipal party. in what they called an "anti-boss' campaign, direct ing their attack on George B.
