TRYING TO AVERT LITIGATION

he sale q. the controlling interest in thu Jumbo and tn Red Top ines
this week. is frought with the greatest significance. Not only will these W
oat uroueries. whoseri riches nave neve as yet been fully developed De put 20
the test undo a sknlful and energetic management, but a possible combination
NAV be wmked out among tn rich mines IF that particular section, as a resut
- wbchm much threatened litigation, expensive to the interests involved,
direful ia the betin interests If the camp. may be avered Already suits re pend
I'M involving the ownership Of rich oreproducng ground, under thu pex law;
and as there 10 nta appear to b. true fsMre vGns sin that particular section, IL
is impossible to even conjecture where litigation might lead and when 1t would
cease d bending final determination of the issues involved, much o. TN rcnest
ground of thu might be completely tied up and all work entirely suspended
AS a rule it is no to the best interests of a mining camp to have tn larger
uromrtiesc concentrated intoa single corporation, or inoth III AM OF a rev IN
diyiduals. But in this case it would b to the contrary. The contentio now De-
ing wagedo over apex rights in the neighborhood of the Mohawk Combination ter
rtorv might lead, as al eventuanty, to involving all the mines the Mohawk,
Combination, Florence, January, Jumbo and, possibly, tn Kd OPP lmo a Vr-
maelstromo Of litigation. Of course this would put a quletus on Godneo
for a long time to M give h camp such a setback that it would be a
geatw while in recovering. And rom such consummation, may tn ood Lord de-
liver us!
Whether these properties will sooner or later cor under the control OF on
corporation, cannot be OWNED, but it appears that forces ire 10y working 20
bnng the destines of hesec companies within tn influence OF a few men OF u
tun and allied interests to the end that a val over the apex question may be m
trely avered.

BULL DOGS NEW HOIST
Is NOW ON THE GROUND

The Bull Dog company received its
15-h.p. gasoline hoist the 18th inst,
but was delayed in getting it out to the
mines until the 26th inst. owing to the
crowded conditions of the freight yard,
and the pressure of work crowded upon
the various transfer outfits of the city.
The work of charging and re-timber-
ing the doubl compartment shaft, I'M
der the supervision of the Marshall
Ellis Investment company, financial
agents of the Bull Dog company, has
progressed to a depth of bou 100 feet.
The hoist is now badly needed and will
be put in running order at once. Work
will continue on the main shaft until it
reaches a depth of $50 feet, from which
point systematic drifting and crosscut-
ting will begin. Five men, with fore
man and carpenter, are o engaged,
and a greater number will be put to
work so soon as the machinery is in
place. The physical condition of the
property will be put in first class shape,
and it is believed the property will soon
become a shipper.

PATRICK, ELLIOTT g CAMP
BUY INTO WONDER

One of the deals made early this week
involving a large sun of money was
the purchase by Patrick, Elliott & Camp,
the Goldield Brokerage house, of the
Nevada group embracing four claims,
adjoining the Stray Horse and the Castle
Rock claims. This property recently
came into popularity in the camp by
reason of the fact that shipping ore
was opened up by the original locators
at three different points on a ledge
which runs directly through this prop
erty and bisects the entire northern sec
ton of the camp.
The purchasers secured the property
from the original locators, and are now
engaged in running a tunnel for the pur-
pose of cutting the ledge, which gave
shipping values at three points on the
surface where it was opened.
Patrick. Elliott & Camp have organ
lied the Alice Mining company of Won
der, to take over the Nevada group, and
many of the other leading operators in
Goldfeld and Tonopah are now on the
ground prosecuting development work
on their holdings in this camp.

way, is intended for the deciduous; it is often uwholesome and unfit to print

The Montezuma Water company has
for some little time past been expecting
the arrival OF is carloads Of piping via
the Southern Pacific railroad. This is
required to complete that company's new
pipe lire from the Ida springs to Gold
field, a distance of 20 miles. The line
has thus far been constructed Is miles
out of Ida. The trench for the pipe is
entirely completed The congestion of
traffic at the Southern Pacific has been
so great since the San francisco dis
aster that much difficulty has been ex-
perienced everywhere in obtaining
freight consignments on time, but the
water mpa is in hopes hat its ship
ment Of pipe may be sent forward by
fast freight. The company states that
il the pipes are received by the middle
of November the whole line can be COM
pleted before the end of that month. A
flow of 500. 600 gallons of water can be
developed by the new pipe line, though
not more than 100000 gallons will be
required at the present time.
The water at Ida springs is of eX-
cellent quality. and when the new pipe
line has been established Goldfeld will
be in possession of a water supply equal
to that of ony town of its size in
America.

SILVER PICK LEASING
AND MINING COMPANY

President Potter of the Silver Pick
Leasing and Mining company is author
ity for the statement that browyrite was
uncovered at the 90-foot level in the
Silver Pick shaft of this company's
leases. This is a most important dis
covery, since this formation is present
and accompanies the highest of high
grade ore bodies in the Combination and
Red Top properties and is a sure indi-
cation that big values will be encoun-
tered very shortly.
The Silver Pick Leasing and Mining
company owns -four leases, two on Silver
Pick and two on Lou Dillon. The later
property was bought from Mr.. Phenix
for 800, 900 by the l.. M. Sullivan Trust
company and is regarded by mining ex-
perts as one of the most aluable min
ing claims in Goldfield. Its location is
such as to warrant the belief that Com
bination, January and Mohawk lodges
will intersect in this property.

NEVADA LEASING TAKES
LEASE ON MOHAWK EXTENSION

The Nevada Leasing company is not
satisfied with the fortune in sight on
their lease on the Florence adjoining
the Reilly block of ground and this
week added to their holdings. The Will
son and Lorbeer lease on the Mohawk
Extension was aiken over. AT a depth
of 100 feet quartz that assays about pay
and similar in appearance to the ore
that is being mined on the Ish and
Sheets lease, is in sight. 1t is the in
tention to at once push the shaft down
to the water level and in the meantime
prospect the ground in every direction
from the 100-foot point.

HAND BOOK OF NEVADA

The Hand Book of Nevada Mines, compiled by The Goldfeld News, is now
ready for distribution, N as far as it goes W believe will meet me mi OF a
large demand. There vas an immense amount of work incident to tmsp ubhca
ton, as n o book OF. the kind had ever been issued; hence the collection OF data
was pioneer work, and of necessity laborious. Since TIT book wen TO press
scores of companies have BEEN formed, which, of coursear ire unppresented, IN
this sense,t the directory is incomplete AS it is, however, there are Some 100 con
panies in the book, with name capitalization, claims, locatlon, an IN most cases.
the work done, officers of the company, home office etc.
A second edition will be issued, revised corrected, about the hYt OF tn
year. But so long as companies are multiplying every day, with such astonishing
rapdMy, it will be impossible to make any hand book or directory complete. A
book would have 10 be gotten oute every evening.
Other socaned hand book ave been printed, but they have IL been house
books of m promotion house or oher 10 exploit SON particular companies
It is needless to say that The News has put u a straight proposition, n pub
hshed the data of every company represented, without a pemys charge for a
single line.
The only revenue to be derived, will be from the sale of the book.

JUMBO LEASING GETS
1T ON THE CoRNTsHMAN

A good strike was made a few days
ago by the Jumbo Leasing company
operating on the Cornishman. In the
drifts at the 300-foot level the pay por-
ton of the ~sulphide quartz has widened
out to 3 feet and assays on the ore show
a value without sorting of 500 a ton.
A crosscut will now be driven from the
200 level for the same shoot.
