s~earchlight. New. Nov. 1.-THE vast
quantities of gold ore now in sight In
the different producing mines In Search
light are a limitless indemnity in the
future greatness of the camp. The
siege Of discomfort which has clouded
the financial interest of the country has
overlooked searchlight entirely. Not
one single operating property has been
forced to close on account of financial
d%iffculties. On the other hand several
developing companies whose stock has
been placed on the public market are
busily engaged installing expensive
plants.
During the past few days the Search
light Gold Beam Mining company COM
menced active operations on their group
of claims adjoining the Philadelphia
Searchlight. -four miles northeast of
camp. A 12-h.p. Fairbanks-Morse gaso-
line hoist with blower. cable. buckets.
tanks and all other needed and neces-
sary equipment has been installed. The
deepest shaft at present is down IS feet
exposing a large vein Of medium grade
ore. 1t is well know in this district
that the best values are not obtained
until water level is reached and the
shaft Is being sunk with all speed to the
depth where it is presumed pay ore VIII
be encountered. Superintendent p
Sales Is also working a force of men on
the Majestic Goldfrog adjoining where
a similar plant will be installed in the
near future. On this property they have
an excellent showing of copper stained
quartz carrying values in gold. silver
and copper. In common with the other
surrounding properties the lodges trend
northeast and southwest dipping to the
east.

Y. a. d, Detroit, Mich. You complain
that we do not give the market quota
lions on a number of stocks in our
weekly liable. The fault is not ours. The
News is published Saturday morning.
To give our readers the latest oficial
quotations. we reproduce the board Of
the Goldfield Consolidated exchange for
the day before-Friday. We reproduce
the quotations of every stock that is
quoted on that day. There are scores
of listed stocks in our list that are
without quotations. 1t IS true; but there
were no quotations to print. In fact
many of the stocks maven had a quota
ton for months. We print the names
because 1t is the official list; otherwise
the stocks not printed would appear to
have been dropped from the exchange
whereas they are still or the list but
non-active. We will not assume the re-
sponsibility Of making curb quotations.
There is very little curb business in
Goldfeld. They would be soon selling
down to what they were actually worth.
If they did. BY selling to the outside
public through medium of the mails. the
promoter can make their own price on
stocks and the outside public take 1t as
the market. We will not print the pro-
moters price as this market price and
thus. possibly. mislead our subscribers
to their loss.

A.. 4. q, New York. Considerable
work has been done by the Goldfeld
Lucky Boy Mines company with encour-
aging results. Property adjoining the
Lone Star on the northwest. No work
being done on Sandstone Extension or
Kendall Extension at present. In fact
most of the non-producing properties
are now idle. due to the present diff
hculty in getting cash money to meet
pay rolls.
J. L. L., Coldwatsr, o. Would seem
to us that the Nevada Goldfeld Lease
company had good prospects,. The COM
pany has 10000 and $4,000 in
the treasury and three or four good
leases on which considerable dead work
has already been done. The company
will have the services of Frank w.
best in the west.

went broke and left the camp. The
lease is not now working.
v. u. II, Brooklyn. Can't hear that
! the Manhattan Merger Mine company
has ever undertaken to do any work on
their property after combining the vari-
Gus companies of which 1t is now con-
stituted. Looks to us much like a stock
deal, and that the objects of the organ
izers were satisfied when they consum-
mated the merger.
\. 9. a., Mobile, Ala The Five
Friends lease on the Laguna is in good
territory and the lease is promising.
The shaft is about $50 feet deep: at 400
feet a station will be cut and a crosscut
run. Two lodges were cut in the shaft
and both give promise of ore. The ledge
at 275 feet is 10 feet wide.
W.. L., Philadelphia. Neither the
Sandstone company nor the Kendall
company is working its property at the
present time. although there is one
lease working on the Sandstone.

Q. W. D, Shenandoah, Pa. The Ram
sey-Wonder properties are about to be
taken over by the Fairview Mizpah
Mining company. This latter company
was organized upon the Mizpah and At
lanta claims recently bought by q. J.
Kennedy, president of the Ramsey
Wonder. at $125.0OO, it is said. The
Fairview Mizpah Mining company is
capitalized at 1000. 900 shares. 81 each.
400. 900 shares in treasury. The 500. 600
shares ownership stock is pooled. A
meeting of the Ramsey-w Wonder com
pany will soon be held. at which a reso-
luton will be adopted transferring the
treasury assets to the Fairview Mizpah
in exchange for stock of that corpora
ton. Holders of Ramsey-Wonder will
be given a chance to exchange their
stock for Fairview Mizpah. The Ram
sey-Wonder owns fine ground in Ram
sey and Wonder. the latter property adj
joining the Nevada Wonder. the big
property of the district; also owns a
large acreage in the Green Springs dis
trict. 80 miles from Fairview. The Miz-
pah and Atlanta ground at Fairview is
high class. Over $4,000 was taken. in
80 days from surface workings on the
Mizpah.

Goldfield Consolidated Mining and Pros

Ida. The latter two are not working.
The first named is the big property re-

r. b. Todd went 10 LuhIhg last
Thursday to arrange for shipping ore
from the property of the Luning Gold
Mines Syndicate. The mine is in ex-
cellent shape and producing a good
grade of ore in sufficient quantities to
insure regular shipments from now on
Good progress is being made in the tun-
nels which are being driven ahead to
open up new ore bodies.
The Copper Glance company at Lun-
ing. which is controlled by r. b. Todd
and r. l.. Toplitz of Goldfield. has re-
ceived a number of applications for
leases on the property during the last
week and it is probable that active
operations will be started by several
leasers within the next week or two.

WHAT WAREHOUSES;
CONTRACT CALLS FOR

The contention OF the Department
of Public Works that Whitchouse's
Nuuanu dam contract ends when the
appropriation under which he has
been working is all expended meets
with considerable opposition and
doubt in certain quarters. Auditor
Fisher, who OverloOks the expendi-
turo of all public moneys, says he has
no desire to take part in any con-
trOversy, as he does not care to put
himself in the light of opposing Sup
crintcndent Holloway. "All | have
to do" he says, lis to see that the
public money is spent as It should
be. But here Is the contract and the
advertisement for bids" And tho
Auditor pulled the documents in
question out of a pigeon hole. The
contract was well thumbed, showing
that it has been much studied.
The advertisement states that bids
would be received for the construc-
Ytlon and completion of the Nuuanu
dam. The contract, signed by the

The newly building Matson liner

commodation for sixty passengers
does not solve the transportation
problem of Honolulu by at least two
hundred passengers. The construc-
tion of the Matson liner has been
known for months, and has been TAX
on into consideration by the business
men striving to secure proper pas
senger accommodation for this port
There is and has been plenty OF
ships TO carry the freight. The pas

If he does II, and gets the business,

He had been sick for a long time

JAPANESE LABOR IN PHILIPPINES

Some time ago man of the New
England-east returned to his home
after spending five years in the Phil,
.pplnes. AS many another has done,
and all the neighbors about what the
japanese are doing in the Philip
pines.
What this man said did not amount
TO so very much, but 1t brought about
a very interesting result. He claimed
that the japanese are quietly filling
up the Philippines and enlarged on
the old scare story of what the Jap
anese intend to do with these pos
sessions of the United States. His
remarks got in print and went back
TO Manila.
Then came the instructive part OF
ia declaration and denial by a
Philippine paper. This is what tho
Manila paper remarked editorially:
To say that the japanese are
peacefully taking possession of
the Islands is absolutely absurd
and would only create laughter
among those in the homeland
