PROBABLE MERGER OF BIG MINES
ALONG THE GREAT BEND RIDGE

Down along the ridge in the Daisy
ground further east, there are no less
than IS shafts. seven nf which are in
good ore. and II is now reported that the
Loftus-Davis Leasing Company, whose
successful operations in the camp are so
well known and recognized, have Just
secured lease on the west end of the
Daisy where phenomenally rich ore
known only to themselves is plainly
cropping on the surface Work at this
point will begin at once.
To summarize the situation on the
Great Bend territory, there are now
four deep shafts all in ore, which makes
a total of IL shafts along the ridge
within a distance of 5000 feet each one
capable of immediate and extensive pro-
duction. There is probably no point in
the camp outside of the immediate
vicinity of the Mohawk, that shows a
like activity nor like amount of ore ac-
tually i'm sight
There are evidences of movement
toward a merger of the properties along
the ridge of Great Bend hill. Birming-
ham operators are largely interested in
Great Bend and 1t is understood that f.
A. Burr. one of the representative heads
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,
of Birmingham, was over the ground a
few days ago, giving it a thorough in
spection, and it is known that he has
since become a heavy buyer of Great
Bend and other stocks In the immediate
vicinity.

AUGUST GROUP
TO BE WORKED

The Combination Gold Mining COM
pany is one of the new propositions that
is likely to be heard from. The conn
pany is the owner of the August, August
No. and August Fraction. The ground
endlines a portion of the Combination

Portland. The surface Indications are
good and assays have been obtained on
float and quartz taken from shallow
workings that have run good pay. The
controlling interest in the stock of the
company will be held by ID. Mackenzie
4 Co. and the work of development will
be under the direction of Frank p.
Oliver who until recently was the SUI
perintendent OF the great Florence mine.
50-lIorse power electric hoist has
been ordered as well as an s-drill COM
pressor. The company will sink a g.
compartment shaft which will be n

tention to keep 1t going down to a depth
OF 1000 feet as fast as three shifts can
sink it. stations will be cut at every
100 feet and the dyke thoroughly pros
pected. That mine will be developed
is the opinion of those acquainted with
the conditions. 1t is the intention to
lease two blocks of the ground and there
is already a dozen applications on file
for them.

CAMP ATTRACTS
A WOMAN MINER

Mrs NJ NJ Hinman. one of the best
known business women of the state of
Nevada. who has been operating In min
ing on a large scale in Manhattan, has
entered the Goldfield district and has
organized a company to work properties
recently acquired by her. Mrs. Hinman
this week purchased the Hesperian and
Orchid claims lying between the Yellow
Rose and Midway. These are excellent
pieces of property. The Hesperian has
ledges: one 20 feet in width which shows
good values. The Hesperian and Orchid
were bought from Messrs. Wingfield
and Sweeney and it is understood the
purchase price was $4,000 cash. Mrs.
Hinman already owned a fraction in the
shape of wedge south and west of the
Combination, Immediately adjoining the
Hazel Queen. These three properties
will be Incorporated into a company in
which I. r. Hickey. Tex Richard. j. T..

ISOLATED In ar official way. with Mrs.
Hinman. Work viii be commenced at
once. to thoroughly develop the prop
critics Mrs. Hinman asserts that this Is
not a stock company for the purpose of
making hotation of mining stock, but
for the purposes of mining, which will
be carried on in a thorough workmanlike
manner.

The sudden movement in Goldheld

in a single day, and is still going up with
a fair chance of shortly reaching the
dollar class, naturally stimulates in
uuiry into the status of the mine, es-
pecially when it is learned that insiders
are engaged in a heavy buying move
ment.
At the companys office it was learned
yesterday that along the ridge, stretch
ing from the Great Bend out to the
Daisy and beyond, recent development
has opened up big ore at several points,
in some instances ore that runs into the
pictures. On the west end of the Great
Bend Tom Keane, who has just re-
turned from a sojourn in Europe. had to
face the pleasant surprise of ore in his
hundred foot shaft running from $1,000
to $1,000 ton. He is arranging for a
plant of machinery, and the work of ex-
tending the development and preparing
for shipment, will be crowded to the
limit. Mr.. Keane is in splendid spirit,
and being himself one of the substantial
men of. the district, is in position to
carry out his purposes.
On the main workings the heavy flow
of water encountered on the $50, has re-
tarded progress to a certain extent A
new boiler has just been installed and
the water question is now eliminated as
an obstacle. Three shifts of men are on

GREAT ORE AT
GOLD MOUNTAIN

When the rush into Goldfield occurred
three years ago some of the prospectors
went south to Old Gold Mountain and
staked old abandoned claims as well as
virgin territory. Among those who fol-
lowed later was Major r. W. Norrington,

Jeffery all experienced mining men.
They decided to purchase ground on
the east slope of the mountain and got
hold of two groups of claims which adj

in interesting with them w. A. Comstoek

money for development work. Two COM
panies were organized-one under the
name of the Nevada Goldfield and the
other under the name of the Nevada

the work of development has been in
progress under the supervision of ]. F.
Parsons, a man who has managed big
mines in this and other states. Prac-
tieally all of the shares of the two COM
panies are held by the same people and
an agreement was early reached that
the work of development should be done
for the benefit of both and that never
should there arise a question or apex
That was put in the bond

At the present time ore is being pro-
