The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-04-27

The long drawn battle between the
Mine Owners and Business Mems asso-
citation and the anarchistic organization
known as the 1. w. w. was ended last
Sunday afternoon at the baseball park
when the miners, in mass meeting voted
almost unanimously to ratify the agree
ment that had been made between their
committee and the executive committee
of the association. The ]. w. w. found
itself defeated and discredited after hav-
ing forced the miners to remain idle for
forty one days and paralyzing business
in Goldfield during that period. Victory
for the mine owners and their associates
would have come much sooner but for
the bulldozing tactics adopted by the
leaders of the /. w. W., who resorted to
the practice Of packing the meetings
of the miners with their minions when
ever it was proposed to agree upon the
terms of a settlement. These tactics
could not assure a permanent victory
however and now the 1. w. w. leaders
find themselves ignored and derided,
with no standing in the community and
no following among the real working
men of the camp.
st. John, the firebrand OF the anarcA
istic element made a frantic appeal to
the miners at Sundays meeting. urging
them to reject the agreement, intimatins

the miners headquarters. signed by act
ing President Mahoney, Another and
formal notice to the miners was issued
Monday morning after the formal sign
ing of the terms of agreement by the
representatives of both sides.
The terms of the agreement are a
crushing blow to the aspirations of the
/. w. w. as 1t is expressly provided that
mo town labor controversy shall inter-
fere with the operation of the mines or
the employment of miners; and no strike
nor boycott shall be officially declared
by miners union unless by a two-thirds
vote of the organization and no lock-
out shall be enforced by the Mine Own
ers and Operators unless by like vote.
St. John and his associate anarchists
had hoped to be able to offset the settle
ment by an organized boycott of the
leading business houses of Goldfeld.
using the miners union for that pur-
pose They now find themselves without
weapon with which to carry on the
fight.
The settlement of the trouble on terms
favorable alike to the miners and the
operators has caused great satisfaction
throughout the district and it Is pre-
dicted that Goldfeld win now enjoy
two years of unparalleled prosperity.

This is an initial mill of about 90 tons

wanted The water for the plant is
brought four miles by pipe line. The
Round Mountain company acquired valu-
able water rights as soon as the mine
showed development enough to warrant
a mill. The Round Mountain property
has produced some of the richest ore
ever seen in Nevada, but 1t has an enor-

About year ago the Happy Hunch
company prospected the ground thor
oughly and obtained good values from
the surface groupings. A shaft was
sunk to a depth of 81 feet. Samples
taken from this shaft averaged from
$3.50 near the surface to $500 at the
bottom of the shaft. Groupings as high
as $500.
The company then purchased dia-
mond drill and began to sink about 100
feet from the vein where the shaft had
been started. At depth of four feet
the drill passed through body of ore
that ran as high as $40 ton and at 10
feet good shipping ore was encountered.
The drill was put down 100 feet and at
so feet a good body of high grade was
struck.
A second hole was then put down
about fifty feet from the vein in a
direct line with the first hole and at
s5 feet $3.50 assay was obtained. At
this depth the drill struck hard forma-
ton which 1t was unable to penetrate.
When The News Of the strike became
known it created considerable excite
ment. E. Overfeld. manager of the
property and one of the principal own
ers, was in the city Wednesday and con-
firmed the report. He says double
compartment shaft will be sunk at once
and the property developed on an exten-
sive scale. Mr.. Overfield says that In
addition to the two holes mentioned the
drill has been put down in several other
places and the results show conclusively
the presence of large ore body on the
Happy Hunch ground.

section of the district and other STRIKES

Last Monday morning a force OF men
was put to work on the property clean
ing up and pumping out the shaft that
filled with water during the shut down.
After the water had been pumped out
the superintendent went down into the
shaft and discovered that cave had oc-
CURED about ten feet from the bottom,
the water having soaked into the sides
and causing the earth and rock to slough
away.
Upon making an examination OF the
cave the superintendent was amazed at
the richness of the ledge exposed to
view. 1t fairly sparkled with free gold
and covered the entire side of the shaft.
Shortly after the discovery. j. F. Hussey
of st. Louis, director in the company
who arrived in Goldneld about week
ago, visited the mine and was informed
of the big find. Mr.. Hussey went down
In the shaft and brought up some sam
pies of the ledge. These he had as

found. Mr.. Hussey owns 10000 shares
of stock in the Florence Leasing & Min
ing company and last Tuesday received

great deal of development work has
been done on the property. The shaft
is down $50 feet and five good lodges
have been opened up. The gasoline hoist
is being replaced with larger hoist
in order to facilitate development work
The old hoist will be removed to the
Bee Fraction, which has also been taken
over by Mr.. Brewer.
The big st. Ives ledge extends d.
rectly into the Coming Nation ground
and has been cut at depth of $50
feet and good values obtained. The ST.
Ives shaft was down 246 feet before
high values were obtained from this
ledge and ali indications point to the
probability of the Coming Nation open

BIG STRIKE ON
THE RED HILLS

Another big strike is reported to have
been made on lease in the Goldfeld
district Ore assaying $1,000. and plenty
of it has been struck on the September
claim of the Red Hills Mining company
by the Seven Troughs Goldheld Mining
company. which is working a lease, on
the property, formerly known as the
Smythe-Robert's lease.
The strike according to E. J. Roberts.
president of the company, was made
early in the week. The shaft Is down
100 feet and Mr.. Roberts said Thursday
that for two days It has been in ore OF
very rich quality.
The shaft Is well timbered and three
shifts are at work sinking as rapidly as
conditions will permit.

may be reported almost any day. The
Rochester mine lies about a mile and a
half to the north of the Happy Hunch
and the Overfield Goldfeld about half
mile to the north. The Overfield has
nine claims on which about 175 feet of
development work has been done and
good values obtained.
The Nancy Donaldson group of claims.
in the same neighborhood has started
to put down a new and larger shaft
about 100 feet north of the old prospect
ing shaft, and development work will
be prosecuted vigorously. Some exceed
ingly rich ore was taken out of the
old shaft and ]. c. Mccormack. who
controls the property, is confident that
large body of shipping ore will be
opened up in the new shaft in a very
short time.
1t begins to look as If the Wild Horse
section was in way to make good the
claims often and freely made by those
having interests in that part of the

opened up there before long. Mr.. Over
field, with pardonable enthusiasm says
that that section will prove as good as
any part of the Goldfield district.

are the Lynch group and the Montgom-

The settlement of the labor troubles
and the big strike on the Florence con-
tributed to the excitement on the local
exchanges during the week. The mar
ket began to boom with the reopening
of the mines last Monday and prices
moved up rapidly for awhile. Profit TAX
ling, which was INDUCED in to very large
extent all through the week has a
marked Influence in keeping down prices
in the less active stocks. Florence and
Red Hills had the call. both stocks being
traded in freely. thousands of shares
changing hands at every session of both
exchanges. When the news became
known Wednesday that a big vein of
100000 ore had been uncovered in the
shaft of the Florence Leasing and Min
ing company, operating on the Cornish
man claim of the Florence. the stock
went a kiting. The stock which could
be had at s5.45 early in the week
jumped to 1921 and yesterday 1t was
selling at $6.S7.
Red Hills, which has been climbing
steadily for the last two weeks was also
very active large body of $1,000 ore
was struck on the property last Mon
FAY and this fact, becoming known, gave
the stock an added boost, sending 1t from
60 to 81. There was a slight reaction
yesterday, the price dropping back at
the morning session of 81. Tive weeks
ago this stock was selling at 40 cents
with only a moderate demand at that
figure.
These two stocks have been the center
of interest all the week but the height
of the excitement was reached Wednes-
day night when there was tremendous
rush to buy that made the two ex-
changes resemble a political convention
in full swing.
All the well known stocks were largely
dealt in during the week and prices
were fairly well maintained. Some lost
slightly through profit taking while 9TH

not regarded as affecting the value OF
