CONSULATE DEAL FOR
CONTROL GYPSY CLAIMS
Well Known Mining Engineer Sc
cures Control of Group In
Stampede Gap.

A deal was consummated last
week, whereby Geo. e. Coke, the
we'll known mining engineer, gets
control of the Gypsy group of claims
for himself and associates. The
Gypsy is situated in Stampede Gap
and is owned by J. F. Roeder and
]. A. Nesbitt of Phoebe and Hans Oh
sen of Caliente. 1t consists of three
full claims and fraction, situated
near the summit of Stampede Gap,
and Immediately adjoins the Iron
Mines controlled by the Manhattan
company.
This property was located some
years ago by Robert Finn and John
F. Roeder, who have exhibited an
undying faith in its possibilities by
working it continuously since that
time. Mr.. Finn, however, trans
ferred his interests some time ago
to the above named parties, for a
neat little sum, and the purchasing
parties have expended some money
on development since their owner
ship.
From the location of the Gypsy
proper, this territory has attracted
the attention of the mining public.
During the lease and bond held by
A. w. Scott and c. e. Rives, was
accounted the foremost prospect in
the camp. During that time shaft
was sunk to depth of 100 feet
and a crosscut run so feet, and ore
found giving an assay value of 1856
ounces silver, SO ounces lead and 50
in gold. The shaft is sunk in por
phyry and the ore found is charac-
teristic of that along the famous dixie
of the Ely mining district.
Mr.. Coke is getting the property
for Louisiana parties whom he is
representing and as soon as an in
corporation is completed develop
ment work will be prosecuted with a
vigor. The purchase price to be
paid is $1,000 and large slice of
the capital stock.
Another property which Mr.. Coke
is negotiating for, and the purchase
of which is all but completed, is the
Vird and Louise copper mines in
Blind Mountain district, owned by
James E. Price and Alex. Orr. He
has had his eye on these claims for
some time, but has been unsuccess-
full in his efforts to get them until
lately, but indications point to the
fact that he has at last succeeded.
We are not in possession of sufficient
details to give exact data as to this
deal, but will publish same later.
Mr.. Coke is more than pleased
with the mineral situation here, and
will be the means of interesting
much capital within the coming few
months.-The Phoebe Weekly.

BLACKBIRD NINE MILL
IS NOW RUNNING

The mill at the Black bird mine in
Central district Is running steadily
and regular shipments of bullion are
being made. Last week Superinten-
dent G. B. Austin shipped to the
smelter carload of concentrates
which netted the owners satisfactory
returns.
G. M. Harvey and Pete Henry are
working on their Bay Horse group
and have uncovered some rich ore.
They have opened up the vein in a
number of places and paintings of
the ore show considerable free gold.
Charles Wright has some valuable
property near the old camp, and in
a 125-foot tunnel on the vein has a
large tonnage of ore carrying good
values in gold and silver, blocked
out.
At the mouth of the Old Central
canyon Tom Nolan has group of
claims which have the promise of
making big mine. The vein is very
large and where it is opened good
ore of the milling grade has been ex-
tracted. In number of places on
this property shipping ore has been
taken out, but the large deposits of
lower grade ore make it milling
proposition.
The Golden Eagle mill is kept run
ming on a good grade of ore and the
runs so far have been very satisfac-
tory. The company has about TWEEN
ty-five men at work in the mine and
mill. Besides the stopping of ore, a
deep Wine is being sunk from the
main tunnel. This Wine is on the
ledge and is already about $50 feet
ore.-Humboldt Star.

NEW MINE LOCATED
NEAR THE MENDAH.

Taking into consideration all ad-
joining property, the great Mendah
mine being the largest, there has
been located and is now being held
by local parties, the Doubt claim sit
uated in the Highland district, says
the Phoebe Record. A Record repre-
sentative visited this property last
Tuesday and was more surprised
than one of the owners that had new
err seen the proposition at the surface
showinngs. This claim is owned by
John p. Thomas, Chester Cook, G.
w. Getchel and James Healy. Mr..
Cook acquiring his one-fourth inter
est only last week. The location
work was done some time since, but
the original locator got off his bear
ings slightly and missed the main
ledge. For distance of 900 feet a
strong ledge runs east and west, and
at intervals the ledge crops out very
prominent; cross assures intersect
or run across the main ledge at three
points near the discovery monument,
this being characteristic of the many
good mines of the Highland district.
Assays taken from the surface from
the ore in sight, and at point
where the ledge is at least measure
ment three and one-half feet, run
from rs to 81 ounces in silver and
rs to 80 per cent lead, small gold
values being obtained also. The
owners propose to begin extensive
work on the property
and have such faith in the real mer-
it's that they wager at least carload
of good shipping ore can be obtained
from the first work done. Mr.. Thorn
as, one of the owners, declares that
it is a second Mendah. Chas. ID.
Osborne, who recently transferred a
one-fourth interest he held in the
is now lamenting, and says
ne sold too soon. We will give our
leaders some good news of this claim
ls the work progresses.

LONG LOST ORE BODY HAS
FINALLY BEEN LOCATED.
Goldfeld Review.

Goldfield Review.
The strike made early Wednesday
morning at the lease of the Simero-
one Mining and Leasing company, on
their lease on the SimmerOne ground,
leads to the belief that possibly the
old body of ore which made that
property famous in the early days OF
the camp has again been uncovered,
and that another shipper of high
grade has been recorded.
While working in the west cross
cut, $50 feet from the shaft, which is
$50 feet deep, the graveyard SHIFT
of Tuesday night entered upon a
body sulphide ore which it is believed
will make the lease one of the bonan-
zas of the camp. The company which
owns the lease on the Simmerone,
and eight acres adjoining, is strong
one, being differed as follows: H.
II. Bragdon, president; "Billy" Nc
Kay, secretary and consulting en-
gineer; r. b. Todd, manager and j.
d. Ross, superintendent.
The Simmerone has an interesting
history. Some years ago. when the
camp was still in its swaddling
clothes, body of ore varying in val
he from $500 to $4,000 to the ton
was uncovered, and great excitement
prevailed. A fence was erected
around the ground and great prepa-
ratiOns were made for vast pro-
duction. But the body of ore did
not last, though considerable guam
tity was taken out, and sharing the
belief which then prevailed, that
Goldfield was simply a surface"
camp, no effort was made to go to
depth. The new operating company,
however, working on the theory that
the lodges did go down and that val
ues would come In took the the
chance, with good results.

DAISY MINES SYNDICATE
TAKES OVER DAISY ANNEX

The Goldfeld Daisy Mines syndi-
cate has bought control of the Daisy
Annex Mining company.
This Is one of the most significant
transactions that has taken place in
the entire district for many weeks.
1t has an especially important bear
ing on the development of the Dia-
mondfield section, particularly in
view of the fact that the manage
ment of the Goldfield Daisy Mines
syndicate, has entered into an agree
ment to expend $4,000 a month in
developing the Annex ground.
When General Manager Searles
came out from New York a few
months ago to take charge of the
Daisy and other large properties con-
trolled by Colonel Posey and his as
sociates, he made thorough exam
nation of the property and also OF
the neighboring groups. 1t was on
his recommendation that the control
of the Daisy Annex was purchased
and the natural presumption Is that
he found excellent reasons for be-
lieving that the Annex possessed ex-
tensions of one or more of the rich
Daisy veins The Diamondfield TRY
angle and the Jumbo Extensions
Diamondfield group lie between the
Daisy and the Annex. Both prop
critics are known to possess some fine
veins but of course there is no GER
tainty that they are the same as
those that have produced such re-
suits in the Daisy workings.
The Daisy Annex was promoted
last December by Clarence Edsall
and Tucker, Baird & Co., of Colorado
Springs. Two hundred thousand
shares of the stock was sold by John
Donnellan G Co., of this city, acting
as brokers for the pomOters, last
December. A shaft 200 feet deep
has been sunk on the property The
official announcement of the taking
over of the control of the property,
was made a few days ago in New
York by w. e. Mitchell, vice presi-
dent and consulting engineer Of the
Goldfield Daisy Mines syndicate.

WILL RESUME WORK
AT THE COMSTOCK.

DR.. Ferdinand Butterfield, presi-
dent of the Best and Belcher Mining
company, has just returned to San
Francisco from a trip to the Com
stock. He went to the lode to ar
range for starting up work In the
Best and Belcher mine, and his visit
is thus described by the Virginia
Chronicles:
DIR. Ferdinand Butterfeld. owner
of a controlling interest In the Best
and Belcher, arrived last Saturday
and in an interview last evening said
the object of his visit Is to prepare
for the immediate resumption of
work in that property on the SutrO
tunnel level. Three shifts of miners
will be employed and an active cam
paign of exploration work will be-
gin.
"Dr. Butterfield holds the opinion
of practical miners and experts that
an important ore body exists at some
point in Best and Beloher unex-
plored territory, and considers 1t pre-
posterous to assume that the broad
ore zone In Con. Virginia on the
north and Gould and Curry ON the
south, from which 100000 in bull
lion has been produced, should cut
off abruptly at the Best and Belcher
boundary lines.
Gould and Curry directors will
undoubtedly follow suit in explora-
tory work on the Sutro tunnel level,
making total of six companies op-
Grating from that base and covering
a length of a mile and half of ter
ritory. The choice of the tunnel as
a base for conducting exploratory
work through raising above it
nearly 1900 feet below the surface
is obvious, for the reason that it can
be conducted at far less cost than
through shafts equipped with expen-
i've hoist plants.
"Dr. Butterfield is interested in
mining properties in White Pine and
Nye counties and is backed by unlim-
tied capital. By the first of August
exploratory work will be in full blast
in Best and Belcher."
DR.. Butterfield also brought to
this city several samples of rich ore
from the new find in the Sutro tun-
mel level of the Hale and Norcross
mine, which promises to make into
an important development.
Ed Bawden and Will Tredinnick
have started work on what was for
merly the Brunswick lode territory
of the Hale and Norcross, abandoned
several years ago by that company,
and subsequently located by Bawden
and Tom Pearce. The work will be
performed on the 300-foot level of
the incline shaft, where Mr.. Bawden
says pay ore exists.

Antiquity of Skating.

The name of the first man who
skated is buried in oblivion. Skat-
ing, however, is very ancient. 1t is
mentioned by the Danish historian,
Saxo Examinations, in 1874 William
Fitz Stephens speaks of It in London
in 1880. Figures of skates appear
in Olus Magnus' history, printed In
