SOME EXCITING TIMES
ON THE GOLDFIELD CURB

Never before I'm the history of the
world. unless it occurred in the bonanza
days of the comstock. was such an Incl
dent witnessed as took place on Ramsey
street near Main one afternoon this
week.
The day had been marked by great
fluctuations on the stock exchange and
strikes and rumors of strikes in the
mines. Hence the curb was a tumultu-
Gus one. Buyers. sellers and spectators
jostled and tread on each others corns.

Shares were bought I'M sold in blocks
of thousands and tens of thousands. the
methods pursued being similar to those

Everything was by word OF mouth and
the marvel Of It all, from the novice's
viewpoint, was Suppose a buyer agreed
to sell and the market rose before the
delivery of stock; p a purchaser
bought and the market fell before the
certificate was delivered to him?'
This question. was voiced by one new
conner to Goldfeld and an oldtimer grufly
responded. No welcher could remain in
the camp"

ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST


Senator t. L. eddie. perhaps the larg-
est individual operator in the state, was
here this week for a day or two, looking
after his lease on the Mohawk, where
sixty miners are rushing ore to the
surface as rapidly as the hoist will carry
it up. The Oddie is possessed of a tre-
mendous ore body out the values are not
uniform and assays must constantly be
taken in order to separate milling from
shipping rock.
The senator reports interesting devel-
opments on his Combination Fraction
lease, although the shaft is not yet
down to the level where the strike was
made in the MISUNDERSTANDING
lease.
He has also begun work on a prop
erty in D~iamondfeld district, known as
the Christmas, which comprises four
claims. A shaft is being sunk. This
property adjoins the D~iamondfield.
In a few days Senator oddie will go
to Silver Peak to increase his working
forces on the Silver Peak and Drink
water and the Silver Peak Blue Jay.
which have both extensions of Blair
property. Wealthy Philadelphians are
interested in these extensions.
After inspecting his Greenwater hold
ings the senator will turn his attention
to the Manhattan mine, a group of four
patented claims in Manhattan district
which were worked from two decades
ago and which gave the camp it's name.
This is a huge base proposition carry
ing high values in the four metals. The
lead lies where it can easily be worked
by quarrying. .

rHoroL1Tr ATTRACTS ATTENTION

II. w. Bruner sold his Office furniture,
packed up and sped for Phonolite this
week upon receipt by Judge l.. o. Ray
of a telegram stating that five men are
sacking thousand dollar rock on the
Silent Friend property. With sinking
this ore body has increased both in width
and values. When Mr.. Bruner left the
camp a few lays ago the deepest work
ings was only As feet and, while en-
couraging, the values were not sensa-
tional. The Paymaster is also in good
ore. the average values being $50. The

west of Tonopah.

MANHATTAN OPERATORS
ATTRACTED TO GoLDrIELD

Manhattan has settled down to bust
ness and is a much better camp than it
was during the summer months. al
though the population has decreased
by the departure of hangers on who
were attracted there by the stock boom.
Two well known operators arrived
from Manhattan Thursday evening. w.
c. Milkulich and VIM. Otis. Mr.. Mix
ulich and Arthur Smith of the Bank
of Manhattan have mad an important
strike in the White Caps lease on the
Dexter. The ore body was encountered
on the 100 foot level and the drift has
already penetrated seven feet of ore
carrying $50 a ton and the wall is not
yet in sight. Mr.. Otis is here for the
purpose of securing a lease on 100 feet
adjoining.
Cowboy stock. which has long been
quiescent despite important develop

m1NEowrER FROM ZION

L. Holbrook of Salt Lake City is
spending a few days in "the greatest
gold camp on earth" In addition to his
holdings here he is heavily interested in
the Funeral range and is owner of one
of the principal gold properties at
Seven Troughs in Humboldt county.
This, he says, is rapidly becoming a
camp of considerable proportions and of
great promise. A telephone line has
been built to the camp and business
houses are being established there. The
lodges are all free milling and are of
nearly shipping grade.

REGIMENTS OF MINERS WORKING

President Ronsebush of the Miners
union informs The News that there are
200 miners working in the Gcidfeld
district. Operators are well satisfied
with the quality of the work and the
miners with the amount of thelr pay.
There are no grievances on either side.
The lowest wage paid is 81. Many
receive IS. On contract work the iaily
wage frequently reaches IS. The same
is paid by the companies for work in
wet shafts. Machine men in wet shafts
get $3.50. The supply of miners AMI the
demand are about equal.

Buy Atlanta Pride Leasing and
Mining Company's Stock

At once for quick and large profits. This stock will be listed very soon.
We believe the entire capital stock of the company could be sold in 80
days at a better price than 15c a share, and we are positive that no more
than $4,000 shares will be sold at 15c-the opening price.
SEVENTEEN LEASING COMPANIES NOW SINKING SHAFTS
ON THE ATLANTA GROUP of claims in Godfeld. Several of them
have struck milling ore and expect any shot will uncover rich shipping
ore which will run the price of the stock of each lease to several
times present selling price.
Atlanta Pride Leasing and Mining Company have placed in our
hands or saea block of Treasury stock to be sold at 15c a share which
we believe to be the best buy in all Goldfeld. Every share of the common
stock is pooled for six months and since it is a fact that the Atlanta
Pride Leasing and Mining Company have decided to list their stock on
or about Nov. 18th those who buy the Treasury stock now can safely cal
culate IN doubling their money within 80 to 60 days with a good prospect
of making ten dollars for every dollar invested.

READ WITH CARE, the following report made by Mr.. A. Hamilton,
one of Goldfelds most honored and noted Mining Engineers. His reputa-
ton is such that his name could not be obtained a an endorsement Of any
mining enterprise, unless he knew their property warranted the strongest
endorsement any man could write.
Goldfeld, October %, 1906.
The Atlanta Pride Leasing & Mining Co, Goldheld:
Genuemen-I take pleasure in submitting the following brief report
o the leases recently acquired by you, situated IN the Atlanta group.
The location of the property is an ideal one, being in the immediate
vicinity of all the big shipping mines such rs the Jumbo, Florence, Gold
Bar and the famous MOHAWK.
There is no doubt that the vein series traverse the Atlanta Group,
extensive groupings are prominent over the entire area, similar in char
acter and structure to the ore bodies on the Jumbo and Florence, and
traceabe throughout these properties.
Two shafts have already been put down, n thirty feet, and the
other 1O feet in depth, the latter cuts a RhyoEte dyke, and has been
carried down with a view to tapping the vein system at a depth of $50
feet in the sulphde zone; this zone is usually capped by an argllaceous
deposit of variable thickness and IN exposing the ore bodies underlying
this deposit, W g invariably find that secondary enrichment has taken
place.
l congratulate you on your having secured, in my opinion, the most
promising territory in the minerahzed area, and taking into consideration
that your lease does not expire until 1908 / would predict that your
stock which at present is easily worth zoe a share, will be rapidly taken
up by the investing public.
Respectfully submitted,
Copy. (sgned) A. HAMILTON, M. E, s. Africa.

Another Important Fact

There arc 10000 shares treasury stock and 100000 shares common
stock par value of each, $100 a share.
Note carefully the fact that the 100000 shares common stock is all
pooled for six months from Nov. LIST, 1906, and cannot be offered O n any

stock perfect protection.
