For lnfraction of regulations some

Another punishment that Jack de-

placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with water

EASTGATE PROPERTY
BRINGS A GOOD
FIGURE
A Forty-Starnp Will be
Erected and Develop
rneut Work Started
on a Large Scale.

A deal was completed on Thurs
day whereby the Williams Gold
and Silver Mining Company, CON-
posed of W. w. and George B.
Williams and George w. Baker,
gives to prominent Goldfield and
Tonopah people thirty days OPP
ton on their two most valuable
claims at Eastgate--the Great
Northern and Sunny Jim. The
consideration named as the price
of completing the option was with
held, but we learn from a source
that would hardly allow of mistake
that the sum involved is $500, 600.
The Williams Gold and Silver
Mining Company, believing alb
solutely in the future of the claims
that are being bargained, agree to
retain a substantial block of stock.
While it is difficult to get facts
concerning this sale, the Churchill
Standard is in a position to state
that the above facts are correct
The purchasing parties have had
expert examinations made of the
properties involved by the deal,
and they are firmly convinced that
the big things that have been ex-
pected of tie Great Northern and
Sunny Jim mining claims will be
realized.
The purchasing parties left yes
terday for Tonopah, where they
will arrange the financial end of
the deal. They expect to return
within the next few days aud COM
mence development work, and Sen
ator Williams prediction that a
40-stamp mill will be pounding out
ore before the winter has passed
will very likely come true.
The Churchill Standard will
give additional facts regarding the
sale and future plans of the new
owners in the near future. The
deal certainly means much to
Churchill county.

GOldfield Needs
Fuel.
And the Situation Is Grave
According to Reports
from There.

The fuel proposition has become
a serious one to the people of Gold
field and something must be done,
and done quickly, to relieve the
threatened fuel famine, says the
Goldfield Tribune.
Not a pound of coal can be
bought in the camp, and this has
been the case for the past two
weeks and there seems to be no im-
mediate relief, and the Tonopah
and Goldfield railway confiscates
any coal that il billed for Goldfield
for its own use. Hundreds OF
families are without coal at their
homes, and the number is being
added to daily. The warm weather
is liable to change any day, and
then there will be suffering. The
supply Of wood is also limited and
the cost has gone up from $14 to
$40 and good dry wood is hard tc
get at that figure.
The Tonopah Railway company
confscated carload of coal Tues.

The railway company was az

There's going to bea big boom

Buys COrtez Silver
Property.
Salt Lake Man Secures
Mines Near Famous
Tenabo Group.

Salt Lake Herald Nov. 8: With
the purchase completed and his
own men in possession of the
property, B. F. Kelley, the local
mining operator, returned from
Cortez, Nevada Friday night. He
went over there to close@a deal for
the IL claims adjoining the famous
old Cortez silver mines and, as the
latter is known as the Tenabo Min
ing & Milling Company's property
Mr.. Kelly says he proposes to per-
petuate the name by calling his
property the Cortez group.
Commencing right on the lines
of the older property and within a
few hundred feet of that portion of
the mine which has produced its
tens of millions in silver, a tunnel
is being driven in on porphyry
fissure that cuts right through the
lime-quartzite-lime contact, and
which Mr.. Kelley believes will be
just as certain to make great bodies
of rich ore as has the same kind of
assuring on the old Cortez ground.
The tunnel is now in distance of
300 feet and that distance more
will carry the face through to the
opposite side of the contact. He
believes that the ore. will begin to
show up within the next 100 feet
and that long before the other side
of the contact is reached he will
have a mine. Cars and trackage
have been provided for the tunnel,
and the work of driving ahead will
be pushed by Mr.. Kelly from now
on.-Eureka Sentinel.
