could be written about the Tramps
Consolidated. but only facts in brief can
be given in this department. We have
published extended accounts OF the
Tramps from time to time. This Is one
of the largest and best known proper
ties in the Bullfrog district. A con-
soIidation of three good companies, the
Tramps, Denver and Eclipse. The acre
age is large and the work done extensive
and immense bodies of milling grade ore
opened up. The company is now arrang-
ing for a mill. The company Is on-
cered by men of highest standing as to
financial ability and mining success. AT
the present market price, which is very
low. we should regard Tramps as an
excellent purchase.

power gasoline hoist went into COM
mission on the winze in the fourth level.
The station, which is 20 x so feet. is 500
feet under cover. at a vertical depth OF
$50 feet. The WINE has been sunk 100
feet belo this level, giving the prop
erty at that point a vertical depth or
$50 feet.
A decided change has taken place in
the character of the Denver ore be-
tween the upper and lower levels. The
ore above is rhyolitic breccia. highly sill
cious, spotted with hematite, the hema-
lite carrying free gold. and frequently
shows specimen clusters of the virgin
metal. Below, the breccia Is not SO
coarse. more nearly solid quartz, al
most free from manganese, and the gold
is finer, being distributed more evenly
throughout the ledge.
No EFFORT to AXE out ore Is being made
at this time, as no stopping is being done.
The several Tramp workings are going
ahead as before. The property en-
ploys tive 40 and so men the year
around.
=. p. A., 1eno.-The Red Hills COM
pany was not organized when our Hand
book was issued. The Goldfeld Mining
company owned three groups of claims,
in different parts of the camp. Two COM
panies were formed to take over two of
the groups, the original company the
Goldield Mining company retaining the
January. February and Henry Clay. This
company subsequently became a part
of the merger. The September. October
and st. Pau claims. W the Port
land and C. o. ID. were put into the Red
Hills ompan and the Crackerjack and
Cut Diamond into the Crackerjack COM
many. Stockholders of the Goldfield Min
ing company were given shares in the
other two companies for this ground.
This segregation resulted from a de-
sire of the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company to purchase the January and
February claims. close to their holdings,
for the purpose of making a solid block
of ground. The Red Hills is very excel
lent territory. is being worked and the
stock has been among the most active
on the board. Work is going on sys-
tematically on the Booth and Columbia
Mountain. The latter has recently been
prospected with diamond drill. Both
are the making of good mines.
g. \. L., Chester, Pa.-The properties
that have produced ore in some quanti-
ties are so numerous as to make 1t mad
visible in this department, to enumerate.
Beside the word producing" is sus-
ceptible of several interpretations. A
producer" in the mine sense Is a mine
that is constantly shipping but a prop
erty might have produced at one time,
or 1t might be capable of producing now,
with heavier machinery, or with work
necessary to get at the ore in mine fash
ion. We agree with you when you say
there might be some good Investments
among the list" and the time to buy Is
now when stocks are taking their sum
mer vacation and mot doing much"
We exchange only with class papers
devoted to mining.

York City. The party of which you
ask was here for a time, but he seems
to have left. whether permanently or
temporarily, we do not know. Didn't
stand well here. and what he was doing
we could never find out exactly. He did
not attempt to do a regular brokerage
business.

We know nothing of Van Duzer's opera
lions. He is not about Goldfield any
more. He must operate from some other
base. Most of his properties, or at
least his methods, have been denounced
generally as wildcats. We know moth
