Del Monte GoIdfield Company.


The Del Monte Goldfeld Mining
and Leasing Company has been in
corporated under the laws of Ari-
zona. with capital stock of 81, 500,
600, divided into that number of
shares at 81 each. The promoters of
this venture are the directors of the
old Del Monte Company, who for
the past six years have operated the
Del Monte mine in Calaveras county.
They have quit operation in Gala
veras, and transferred their energies
to the more inviting field of Gold
field, Nevada,-a camp which in
many respects is the most wonderful
gold mining region the world has ever
seen. The directors are Geo. ].
Wright, general manager and presi
dent; f. A. VOORHEES,, vice president; !;
Jas J. Wright, secretary and treasurer;
Richard Webb, Geo. f. Dornan, all
of Jackson, and ID. l.. COLON, of
Meadville, Pa, j. Z. Ii. Cunning
ham, Newcastle, Pa, r. +. Curtze,
Erie, Pa, and Homer A. Hine, Akron,
Ohio. The temporary place of busi-
ness is jackson, but eventually it is
probable the place of business will
be removed to Goldfield. The COM
pauy has leased a claim of six acres
in the very heart of the gold produc
ing section. The lease runs for two
years. The property is owned by
Claude M. Smith and others. Smith
five years ago was employed as outside
man on the Amador Ledger, and has
taught school in several places il
this county. After leaving here he
drifted to the new mining camps of
Nevada, was elected mining recorder
of Goldfeld, when that district was
organized, and was enabled to take
up number of the most promising
claims. He has amassed a fortune in
mines. He still holds the position
OF recorder, and K. l. Kerr, who last
month quit the clerkship at the
Kennedy to go to Goldfeld, is now a
deputy mining recorder in GoldheId.
Mr. Kerr is also interested with
several others in this neighborhood
IN a lease acquired from Claude
Smith. They have pushed develop
ment work to the depth of 10 feet,
and are said to be in rich suIphide
ore. Geo. /. Wright left yesterday
morning for Goldtield to start opera
tions on the Del Monte. He will
meet Claude Smith at Reno, and
thence the two will go on to the
camp. Mr. Wright has alleady sold
from 30, 900 to 10000 shares of trea-
sury stock, to furnish development
funds. There are one million shares
for sale at % cents per share. He
expects to place stock enough for
development purposes on reaching
Goldfeld. Should he be disappoint-
ed in this he will likely take trip
east to dispose of enough shares to
furnish money for prospecting. He
is careful and conscientious mauag-
er. Several of the miners who work
ed for him in the old Del Monte have
offered their services in the new
undertaking, and will take their pay
in stock, showing the confidence they
have in his integrity. The Ledger
trusts that the new Del Monte will
more than make up for the dis
couragements and failures that mark
ed the operations in Calaveras county.
Nearly every person who Is subject
to attacks from the stomach suffers
from a morbid dread of a dietic
treatment for relief, that is three
fourths starvation, and one-fourth
toast and milk. On the other hand
you can eat as you please and digest
the food by the aid of good digest
ant, thus giving the tired stomach
equally as much rest. Eat what you
please and take a little KodoI for
indigestion after your meals. 1t
