FRANCES-MOHAWK SHIPS 2
THREE HUNDRED TONS DAILY

Six carloads of so tons each is the
average daily shipments from the
Frances Mohawk lease. The ore aver
ages $3.50 a ton. Settlements are being
made daily in sums ranging upward
from $25,000.
In addition, the high grade is being
taken out daily and stored in the vault
and banking rooms of the State Bank
and Trust company. There is now an
accumulation of half a carload valued
at nearly 100000.
People who invested in Frances-Mo-
hawk at Is cents a share have got their
money back in the two dividends paid.
Another will be declared the first of the
month and still there's more to fol-

The Frances Mohawk shareholders
have stock in a company that is per-
petual. In addition to this bonanza lease
the company has acquired the Buckman

Some very promising development
is taking place on the johnson claims,
belonging to the Goldfeld Sovereign
company, just north of Mclaughlin
Well. After uncovering fine ledge near
the surface, shaft was started little
to the west, and at one hundred feet
depth a fine vein has been opened at
about eight feet wide. A drift was
started both north and south at the
one hundred-fo foot level and both shafts
are now in ore assaying in value from
a few dollars up to forty-seven dollars.
The ore is particularly good looking In
the south drift where 1t shows a width
of four feet. The formation is 1dentlcai
with that of the rich mines near town,
particularly that of the Mohawk.
DIR. ]. M. Downing of Denver, the
president of the company, is now here
experimenting the work. The shaft is
to be timbered AXIS in the clear double
compartment. The south drift Will be
extended some distance as 1t is most
promising, seemingly now like being on

on their claims and all hands are con-
fdent that there will be great things
doing in the district. Joe Hanlon, who
went into the region for the Frontier
Exploration Company and was, upon
the organization of the district, elected
Recorder, has several fine groups of
claims upon which the work has been
done. On one group of five claims which
he calls the News" Group after the
Goldfield News. the showing is exception
ally fine Another bunch of three
claims he has christened the Sarah
group. The claims are very well located
and at this stage appear quite as desir-
able as any in the place. Mr. Hanlon
in his capacity of Recorder is OF course
fam liar with the number of locations
fled and he states that nearly every
claim has at least one assessment hole
on IL.
The old Dutehman mine which is
claimed by some score of outfits has
nearly as many assessments on it. With
the consent of all claimants several
leases have been let on the ground and
work is going ahead in good shape. In
one case the leasers who are running
tunnel under an old working have a
solid breast of ore which averages $50.
All have showings sufficient TO prove
that the camp will have one mine at
any rate. To decide the ownership OF
the Dutchman will apparently prove a
difficult and costly task. There is some
talk of consolidating all of the interests
and working the ground in concert. This
would seem to the most sensible plar
yet offered.
At Dry Creek a great many assess
ments have been worked and some yer,
satisfactory results have been had. TIL

The 75-hp. electric hoist ordered by
the Mohawk Fraction Mining company
is now on the railroad and will be in
operation within short time. An en-
gine house. transformer house and
blacksmith shop have been constructed.
and as soon az the hoist is received the
present working force will be increased.
The shaft which is down 1870 feet will
then be sunk to 500 feet The manage

good a showing on it's estate as any in
the district.

There is every reason to believe that
when the ninety days under which the
first locations are valid have elapsed
there will be a great deal of activity
in the Walker Lake Reservation. At
present while several healthy looking
camps are sprining up there is no at
tenLt to do any but the assessment
work. On all sides there are rumors
of rich strikes, and that good ore has
been 1cund in places is beyond ques-
ton, but in view of the closeness with
which the country is staked, those VINO
have found anything are in reality
loath to reveal their discoveries. The
writer visited the Reservation last week
and found the situation decidedly prom
Using in comparison with the initial
rush in which ne took part.
At Dutch Creek there is flour
ishing town which is growing with each
day. Lumber is being brought in In
considerable quantities and substantial
tent houses are taking the place OF the
first crude tents The town boasts a
grocery store, several restaurants,
lodging house and the usual proportion
of saloons. The population is about
two hundred and includes many people
who bring with them regulations ior

and wealthy syndicate, The Walker
Lake Development Co., has been formed
by outside capitalists and is prepar-

THE RESERVATION SITUATION

Il. b. Hahn, G. +. Buck and w. T.
Roberts, is among the best properties In
that section and the assessment work
has all been done and the locations filed.
There are five claims in the group To-
Gated right on an immense porphyry
dyke which cuts the granite for miles
Wood and water are present in abundance
and very cheap mining will be possible
Others interested in the claims are
Henry Weber. Thos. II. Condor and
w. f. Jeske.
l.. X. Gregory has a number of loca-
tions at Dry Creek upon which it is
generally believed the best values found
in the Reservation have been had. As
says as high as $4,000, 1t is claimed, were
taken. The owners will not verify the
report but profess TO be very well salts
fled with their ground.
In the Gulch above Dry Creek camp
called Copper has been started and a
very good showing of gold and copper
is reported.
On the east shore of the lake about
two miles from Walker an immense cop
per belt has been very closely located
and the location holes are showing up
some splendid ore. Many of the speci-
mems carry as high as forty per cent
and il is believed that the average across
fifty feet will show in the neighborhood
of six per cent.
Throughout the entire reservation
wherever the prospectors are gathered
there is the utmost confidence in th'
future The weather at present is yer,
severe and the snow which in man!
of the passes lies six feet deep, II
proving a great hinderanee. When tn
spring comes in. however. there is ever!
reason to believe there will be severa

J. P. Mcneil

The furniture store of j. P. Mcneil
has become almost household word in
the mining Of this camp district The
name is suggestive Of one of the most
complete stocks of furniture, both new
and secondhand, hardware. tinware
and enameled ware, stoves, ranges and
the thousand and one odd articles going
to make up complete stock of house
hold furnishings ever assembled in ella
county. 1t is alike suggestive of goods
sold at the lowest possible margin Of
profit between the manufacturer and
the consumer. Much has been said of
the economy of the household, but
housekeepers who have not made the
acquaintance of McNeil's and the prices
prevailing at this furniture emporium
are ignorant of the advantages to be
derived from trading there. AtMcNeil' s
place of business is at all times a full
and complete line of goods pertaining
to house furnishings. This is made
possible by the fact that the goods are
being constantly received and that the
firm buys directly from the big factor
les and importers in carload lots.
Established eight years ago, it's ex-
tended and increasing trade has recent
ly made it necessary to make additions
to the building, and additional storage
and salesrooms now give excellent
facilities for the display of the immense
stock carried. These additions are
ample evidence that Mr.. McNeil's one
price system is coming to be generally
understood as favoring the consumer
to such an extent that the careful
buyer finds it an opportunity for an
important saving in the annual house
hold expenses.

The fresh appearance and complete
stock of goods carried in the general
merchandise establishment of Sam Kee
includes staple and fancy groceries,
and provisions, dry goods and notions,
hardware and tinware, boots and shoes,
mems clothing, and everything the
comprehensiv term of general mer.
chandise implies. The owner of the
house has shown in the selection of his
stock that he caters especially to the
trade of the people, and it may well
be doubted if there is general mer-
chandlse store in the camp having a
more varied stock suited to the needs
of the persons and homes of the camp
and district than that of Sam Kee. In
this store are to be found some of the
choicest silks in the entire country,
they are imported direct from China
and the class of goods carried is well
known to old residents of the camp who
extensively patronize Sam Kee. His
reputation for honesty and fair dealing
is well known, and after 18 years ex-
perience in Globe as a merchant and as
resident for Is years, he has a large
trade, not only in the camp, but among
the mines and miners as WELL Any
thing purchased here can be depended
upon as being as represented.

George E. Shute

Globe is undergoing steady and
healthful growth. All of the business
enterprises in the camp are enjoying
an era of prosperity, and it is especially
crafty ing that those recently inaugu-
rated are meeting with the success
anticipated. George E. Shute, pro-
prietor. of the new livery stable is hard
iy in need of an introduction, since he
has been acquainted in ella COUNT
thirty years. He has been engaged IN
the cattle and mining business here for
over a quarter of century, and oper ed
the livery the first of last October,
with a partner, whom he has since
bought out, now conducting the es .ab-
lishment alone. He is an experie need
horseman and saw at glance the OPP
portunity presented to establish sta
bic of the modern type, and secured a
location that is one of the best in the
city. He has fine line of vehicles,
including everything from single buggy
to three seated stage, and has sell
lected his horses with an idea to their
adaptability to the livery business. Be
tween twenty and twenty-five head of
livery horses are at the disposal of pa
irons, while an equal number of board
ers are kept, all receiving the same care
and attention that is given to the pro-
prietor's own stock.
In addition to the livery business Mr..
Shute does an extensive and growing
business in the sale of hay and grain,
making prompt deliveries in all parts of
the town. His extensive acquaintance
with residents of the district and famil-
iarity with the roads and trails make
his services much in demand among
strangers and investors visiting the
camps in this district.
