PLEASED WITH PosTorFIcE

P~ostoffce Inspector Booth and AS
sistant Superintendent OF Railway
Mail Service Lippincott, spent the
week in the city on one of their regular
trips looking over the postofiee here
and other business incidental to their
official positions. They made a thor
ough inspection of the Goldfield post
office and expressed themselves as well
pleased with the conduct Of the office
by Postmaster Collins.
The Goldfeld postoffce is badly n
need of additional help but as there. is
no money available for the purpose, Il
will probably De necessary to wait un'
til congress takes action before any adj
ditional clerk hire can be secured. 1t
is just possible, however, that some
way may be found to provide the
means for bridging the difficulty dur
ing the interim. Both officials will
make a report upon the matter to the
Washington officials.

rULE CANON LOOKS GooD

DIR. Clegg and II. L. Williamson re-
turned from Tule canon a few days ago
whore they went for the purpose of in
specting the Eagle Pass and Tip Top
mines. DIR. Clegg is a heavy owner in
the Goldfeld Tule Canon Mining com
pany, owner of the properties, and is
much pleased with their present show
ing. He states that development has
been in progress since December IA,
that a shaft has been sunk to a depth
of 20 feet and that drifts are being ex-
tended both ways on the lead. Six
inches of the rock contains high grade
silver values and is being sacked for
shipment.
DIR. Clegg brought several samples
of the vein matter back with him and
had two of them assayed. One returned
silver values of 1892 per ton and the
other values of $464 to the ton. The
ledge is composed of white quartz con-
tanning argentite, and is streaked with
soft, brown spots which run from 1855
to 1855 in silver and so per cent lead
to the ton. As the two claims end line
the eampony has 5000 feet of vein to
work and to facilitate operations .

ON SAD MISSION

r. L. Johns, president of the Gold
field Mining company, left for Los
Angeles Wednesday morning where he
was summoned by a telegram apprising
him of the serious illness of his father.
Mr.. Johns senior and his wife are resi-
dents of Washington, d. c, but are
passing the winter amid the sunshine
and flowers of southern California. A
few days ago the aged gentleman had
the misfortune to slip and fall and is
not rallying well from the attendant
shock. 1t is not understood that his
condition is critical, but it is neverthe-
less sufficiently alarming to cause his
son to make a hurried journey to his
bedside.

HAS GOOD SHOWING
China-Nevada Gold Mining Company
Receiving Encouragfnu Assays

A very promising ledge is showing at
surface on the holdings of the China
Nevada Gold Mining company which
with depth and development should
make into shipping ore. Assays return
gold values as high as-$37 to the ton
across 4 feet Of well oxidized and min
e~ralized vein matter. The acreage is
composed of the Tientsin, Pekin, Can
ton, Hankow, Foochow, Hong Kong
and the Nora claims, and the group
with the chop suey names is located in
the Crystal Springs section of the Bull
frog district about 1h miles north Of
the Mayfower mine. The acreage APP
pears to lie directly IN the strike of the
Mayfower lodges and preparations are
now being made to prove them up at
depth.
The formation is ~porphyry, quartsite
and lime, and the ground is crossed by
two distinct contacts, each of them
mineral bearing; and three distinct
veins cut the contact and a junction of
leads. The groupings and lodges are
highly mineralized and the prospective
value of the estate is second to zone Il
that district.
On the Mayfower mine, to the north,
10 feet of ore having an average gold
grade of $40 per ton has been opened
up at a depth of rs feet, and as the
workings are deepened the ledge is wild
ening and increasing in value. Pan
nings from the high grade streaks indi-
cate a value of from $500 to $500 per
ton. As the same vein system extends
into China-N Nevada ground there is
every reason to believe that equally
satisfactory results will prevail therein
with depth.
The claims are admirably located for
the convenient hauling of their ores as
they are within two miles of the Gold
field Bullfrog road to which there is a
gradual down grade. Two plans Of
operation are now under consideration,
one icing to tap the lodges through the
medium of a tunnel and the other 10
sink a shaft and crosscut to and drift
on the leads. Either method of devel-
opment will be efficacious and as soon
as it has been ascertain which is the
cheaper extensive operations viii fol-

CHICAGO

Two shifts are engaged in sinking
the shaft on the Benedict lease on the
property of the Chica-Goldfeld Mining
company from its present depth of $50
feet to the 200-foot point following
which crosscuts will be run to the
lead. At the 150-foot level better
than IT'S feet of drifting has been done
on a 4-foot ledge containing a fair
grade of mill rock its entire breadth.
1t is thought that when the ledge IS
tapped and drifted upon at the lower
point that shipping values will be
found in bulk. The property is located
north of the Sandstone.

E. D. CASE RECOVERING HEALTH

E. d. Case of Duluth, who has been
quite i'll at the Brown Palace hotel
since his arrival in camp OF Christmas
day, is gradually improving and is now
able to sit up a few hours a day. Mr..
Case came to Goldfeld as the repre-
sentative of important interests, and
was engaged in a thorough inspection
of the camp when taken ill with
asthma, which later developed into
pneumonia. For some time his eondi-
ton was critical, but under the watch
full care OF d trained nurse and skilled
physician he has made good progress,
and his friends hope to see him on the
streets soon again. Mr.. Case is an
enthusiast over Goldfeld and Southern
Nevada and expects to interest con-
siderable foreign capital in the camp.

NEVADA LEASING COMPANY

The Nevada Leasing company has re-
sumed operations on the shaft being
sunk on its concession ON Florence
ground, after an enforced delay of 10
days, consumed in timbering the shaft.
The workings are now down 112 feet
and the work will be continued On down
to the 20O-foot level. At this point the
company contemplates running a cross
cut about 100 feet with a view to
catching the Reilly ledge. The shaft is
now in quartz and ~sulphides of iron,
and the company expects almost any
time to get into the ore body.

Three veins have been opened by the
Goldfeld Century Mining company at
a depth of 80 feet on their London
derry claim located about 3 miles
southeast of Goldfeld, one of which
presents very promising characteristics.
This lead is composed of porphyritic
quartz, is 3 feet in width and is being
drifted on in search of a pay shoot.
Comfortable quarters for the men have
been erected on the property and de-
velopment is being pushed.

PUTTING DOWN
GAMBLING ON MAJ

County Attorney D. Fl. Case, in his
May report to the Board of Supervisors
of Maui, says:
Gwen the vicious element who seek
to earn their livelihood by fostering the
gambling habit are apparently either
resting from their labors, or doing bust
ness so quietly that the authorities are
unable to detect them. A month or
more ago conditions had reached such
a pass that the evil practice was car
ried on as openly as was the pursuit OF
lawful callings. Its suppression clearly
indicates that the officers of the law
whose duty it is to prevent such prac-
tices are carrying forward a more siren
uous policy along these lines -
