The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-10-12

q. o. -, worcester, Mass. Cannot
tell you the present officers of the Cold
field Noble. James b. Pratt carries that
under his hat and we can't locate Pratt.
Was here for a time, but disappeared.
The last set Of officers of which we have
record is as follows: David Mackenzie,
president; II. l.. Johns. vice president;
s. A. Powell. secretary; s. N. Kitto.
treasurer: ]. f. Morhardt. director.
Eastern ONCE. James b. Pratt & Co, 4S
Exchange Place. N. Y. Mr.. Mackenzie
resigned as president some time ago
perhaps is months. and we have never
been able to learn who was put In his
place. Nothing has been done in the
property for some time.
,. 4. y, Germantown, o.-Believe you
should make the exchange of Bullfrog
Consolidated for the new Red Star
stock. Considerable prospecting was
done on the Bullfrog Consolidated,
enough to demonstrate that the chances
were against making a mine. We know
but little of the new property at Cres-
rent more than what we have read. We
know 8. G. McMullen, who is interested
in the new and the old companies and
we know him to be honorable and cap
able and will do the right thing by his
clients and stockholders and therefore
nave confidence in the proposition made
to holders of Bullfrog Consolidated.
=. O., SPOKANE. The Silver Pick ground
is being worked both by the company
and by ~leasers. The company is putting
down a shaft but in very leisurely fash
ion. There are two leasers. Both claim
a. 1cx,o &c Ara JaAoaS ~ 1anfh as ran
be found in the camp, and the ore is
the characteristic ore of the Mohawk.
The leases are apparently on the same
ledge. which is very large and strong
and the rock lively, but so far carries
no high grade values. The operators OF
these leases are very sanguine of open
ing up pay shoots and are going ahead
enthusiastically.
J. w., San Jose, Cal. The Tule Canyon
Gold Mining company has done consid-
cradle work and several shafts have
been sunk. The shaft referred to Is the
last one put down. The ore taken from
this shaft assayed very high in copper
but of course we cannot say that such
high values will be maintained-7S per
cent copper is a little high-but you can
hardly expect the exact value of a min
to be determined by the values produced
in sinking 20 feet. However. the show
ing indicates the probability of strong
ledge of copper.
A. II. T., New Orleans. The state
ment made in our issue of March 18th
regarding the January Jones lease was
accurate. High grade was struck and
some ore was taken out, just as was
stated. h ore did not last. That is
all there is to it. There was no error
on our part. We stated the case just as
it was. 1t looked big and was big at
that time. We made no prophecy as to
what the ore would do the next day or
the next month. We can see no further
into the ground han anyone else.
W.. T., shawnee, Okla. People you ask
about have been operating for several
years under an involved and ingenius
plan which we have never entirely I'M
derstood. They have paid dividends
from some source and are paying now
at regular periods We believe. They
nave some property in this neighborhood
but not in the camp roper. we believe.
They advertise an office in Goldfeld and
nave a man on the ground here. Don't
think they nave ever spent much money
on their ground. 1t is not their policy.
D.. u. o., 1ichland, Pa. The Atlanta
Mine company owns a large acreage in
the heart of the Goldfeld district, adj
Joining the Consolidated, Florence, st.
Ives and other we'll known properties.
The ground is being developed by leas-
ers. of whom there are seventeen on the
property. Several of the leasers have
.,-l~ cboffo 10 a Ionth nf Ann feet and a
great deal of work has been done.
.. A. K, Passaic. y. J. The Combined
Mining and Leasing company owns a
number of leases. generally well located
and has been working them up to within
a short time. Owing to financial strin-
gency work was recently suspended and
we understand that Mr.. Brewer is now
in the east trying to raise funds in order
to resume operations.
J. D., Savannah, ca. We presume you
refer to the Queens group in the Wonder
district. The property is now in litiga-
ton owing to the fact that the original
owners are alleged to have optioned the
property to two separate parties. One
of the options is held by Henry Weber
of his city and the case is now before
the supreme court for adjudication.
W. y. r, san Francisco. The Gold
field Orc Mining company owns 55 acres
in the heart of the Goldfeld district.
The company is controlled by Henry
| Weber and the property is being devel-
oped energetically. The main shaft is
down 259 feet and prosecuting is in
progress on the 220-foot level.
=. l., Jacksonvills, III. The Goldfeld
Daily West owns property near the
Great Bend mine and has done consid-
cradle work, three shafts having been
sunk and considerable prosecuting and
drifting lone on the various levels. The
Nevadan Lease is well located and has
good prospects of getting shipping ore.
=. J., Prescott, AriA The G. s. Claek
Brokerage company got into a bad way.
financially, this summer. Mr.. Clack left
camp but his partners returned to
ployed W. Fred. p. Fogg. Goldheid, as
their attorney, with whom you might
correspond.
\. D., Cullman. Ala. The Columbia
Mountain Mining ompan has we'll
located ground. is in good hands and has
been c-onscientiously worked. 1t is be-
lieved that there is a mine somewhere
in that mountain and the company of
which you speak is thought of as a very
likely candidate.
9. =. =, beatty, New. If you have
read The News lately you will have
seen various articles on the production
of Goldheld mines. To give the amount
of money put in the ground here would
