VALUE OF A RAILROAD PASS
what such an Asset itepiIy Amonpts
70 Nicely ToId fn
Arfshwoic

Years asp the state OF ce5reia was opsr-
ating the Northeastern railroad = thirty
nine-mile local line which Il had taken
under foreclosure Of bonds guaraHteed. In
payment OF a claim Of the Sims estate for
properly taken as right-of-way the gov
ernor gave each OF the eleven heirs a life
pass over the road. Subsequently the state
transferred the road to the Southern Rail-
way and the purchasing corporation there
after denied the life pass holders the privi-
lese Of riding free. The holders appealed
to the legislature and that body has author
lied the governor and attorney general to
settle with the heirs The property taken
under this trade was claimed to be worth
s.. 600. but the state reasons that inasmuch
as the heirs decided It for eleven life passes
the adjustment OF their claim must be
based upon the value OF the passes ana not
upon the value Of the prcpes+y. hence the
governor and attorney general are studying
over the problem. what Is the value Of
life railway pass on a thirty-nine-mile road
In the interior OF 0eofEia? Suppose the
property for which eleven passes were ex-
changed was worth 5000; then each heirs
pass was worth S7z7.H. Now. assuming the
passenger rate on that hill-country road
was cents mile, then each heir could
get MS moneys worth In Sl3 rides the whole
length Of the road. or In 1854 round trips.
But that would require only six months
riding at but one round trip a day; while
each OF the heirs may stiil enjoy the expec-
tation Of many years Of life, according to
the mortuary tables. II. now. each pass BY
moderate daily use may be made to yie.d
a value OF S727 In a half year, or 81. 454 in a
year, It is easy TO see that IN a life. of say,
twenty years. that perennial pasteboard
may be shown to have value Of at least
so $50 to each heir, or an aggregate worth
to all those affected OF $sio.sso The state,
therefore, would do well to be cautious
about coneeding that the claim 8s worth the
present value OF the eleven passes for It
would not take much OF . lawyer to con-
vince jury Of the plain people that these
misused heirs have life estate in their
pass contracts which Is worth many times
the origina1 price Of IS Railway Age.

Drifts are being extended to the west
at the 20 and 100-foot levels in the
Triangle shaft at Diamondheld and
when the ledge has been proved up suf-
fciently it is the intention to begin
stopping on the ore body. The ledge is
to be well ~prospected at both points and
already operations along that line have
resulted in the opening up of IN feet
of $50 ore. This class of rock is being
saved for shipment and a consignment
is to go out sometime next week. AT
the 40-foot level a good body of milling
ore has been opened up.

AID SRI

The Lone Star claim of the Rochester
Goldfeld Mining is being OPP
Grated under lease by the Ad Astra
Gold Mining company in which a num-
Der of prominent Goldheld mining men
hold substantial interests. The prop
erty is located about S miles east of
Goldfeld and is near the Pennsylvania,
the Noble and several other claims of
merit.
A new Fairbanks-Morse 15-horse
power gasoline hoist has been installed
and greatly facilitates operations. The
work of sinking has once more been
started at a depth of 75 feet and is to
be continued until a depth of 200 feet
is attained when the work of drifting
and prosecuting will be taken up. w.
F.. Gray. one of the best mining men
in the camp, is in charge of operations
and under his supervision work is being
furthered with rapidity. AS the a

ings in the crosscut run out from the
bottom OF the 40-foot shaft and a drift
is now being extended along the strike
of the ledge in search of shipping grade.
Values hold strong at about s25 the ton
with occasional Essays running well to-
ward the 800 mark. The general char
acteristics of the vein material are fav-
orable to the finding of pay ore in place
with further exploration. Some months
ago the Desert Rose was the scene of
more than ordinary interest owing to
the finding of exceedingly high grade
| gold values and at that time a shipment
of sensational grade was sent out. The
claim is owned by the May Queen Min
ing p and is located west of the
Sandstone c~ompany's estate.
HUNcH LEASE
The shaft on the Hunch lease on the
February claim Of the Goldfeld Mining
compan is down $50 feet and more
than 100 feet Of drifting and crosscut-
ting had been accomplished without re-
suit of moment. Just at the time when
the operators had about made up their
minds to quit luck turned and ii now
seems probable that they will turn de-
feat into success. AS a forlorn hope IT
was decided to sink another so feet and
within Z feet of the 150-foot level a
! strong ledge has been cut which gives
promise of holding pay values. The
lead has a dip to the east and a strike
north and south and assays about $12
in gold to the ton on an average. The
quartz carries sulphides and looks very
much like the Florence ore.

ledge was tapped about two weeks ago
and is being drifted on under conditions
which bespeak the early location OF

claim of the Florence Mining company
the miners are drifting on the ledge re-
Gently tapped in the west crosscut. The

composed of tale and quartz. An ex-

ciably.

NEVADA LEASING CONF

A new shaft is being sunk by the
Nevada Leasing company operating on
the Florence claim, to the north of their
old one and at a depth of 10 feet a g.
foot ledge has been disclosed. Assays
prevail as high as SIS to the ton and the
ledge is to be followed down in the ex-
~pectation of its making into pay grade
at greater depth. Work in the old
shaft is likewise being pushed and at a
depth of 120 feet it is in a body of sui
phides which assay from $40 to $50 in
gold to the ton.

COMBINATION NO. q

Lessee Tabor is busily engaged in
prospecting the blind lead which he
opened up in his holding some three
weeks ago and as the drift is extended
along the strike of the vein the n
for the location of shipping ore are con-
stantly improving. The lead was en-
countered in the south crosscut from
the 170-foot level while the miners were
engaged in driving for the ledge opened
in the level above. At the lower point
the vein is composed of quartz and tale
which bear a strong resemblance to the
high grade rock mined by Reilly and
his associates in their famous lease on
the Florence estate.

EAGLE

Every effort is being made by the
~lessees on the Golden Eagle claim of
the c.. O.. D.. company to attain a depth
of 100 feet from which point crosscuts
are to be run out to the ledge n drifts
extended along it's strike. AS the shaft
is lowered the indications for the ulti-
mate finding of pay grade are improv-
ing. Quite a bit of vein matter is now
showing and assays are gradually creep
ing up the scale. At surface a lead has
been uncovered which prospects fairly
well and when it is tapped from the So
foot level it is believed that shipping
ore will be found.
