JELDNEss QUEERs DEAL.
Prominent Nevada Operator Did Not
Want TO Boost Iron Game,

The following self explanatory article
regarding o. Jeldness, the manager of
the Ely Consolidated company AT Ely,
Will be of interest to the many friends
of Mr.. Jcldness in Salt Lake. The
article appeared in the White Pine
News:
"Olaus Jeldness could have added
$50; 900 to his fortune if he had wanted
to, but he didn t.
''It all came about in this way: Be

company went East he obtained an op,
tion upon a group of claims near Pilot
Knob owned by Mr.. Jeldness. After
getting the option he had An expert
make report upon the claims. The
report, which was very favorable, was
taken East by Mr. Porch when he went
to see the men whom he expected to
buy the properties, These buyers in
clnded Willard Snyder of the Ely Con-
solidated Copper company. These
capitalists were well acquainted with
Mr.. Jcidness, as he is superintendent
of the Ely Consolidated mines. and
they were ready to buy the Jeldness
group offered by Mr.. Porch at the price
named by the promoter, but Just before
closing the deal they wired TO Mr.,
the properties.
"Mr. Jelduess wired back as fol
lows: No development work, conse.
quently no sulphides, Surface indica-

'<It has been said in the camp that
Mr.. Jeldness could be depended upon
to make thoroughly reliable report
upon any question put to him, and his
action in this case shows that he will
do this even when his own interests
are involved and there is tempting
prize of thousands TO lose by absolute
frankness. Mr.. Jeldness returned to
Ely last night from his holiday visit to
his home in Spokane, Wash.
'tWhen seen Mr.. Jeldness said: IF

SEVEN TROUGHS

Seven Troughs is a proved camp
possessing several regular shippers and
making ready for milling
Thirty men are at work on the Fairview
mine in that camp. stopping rich dirt
from depths of 100, $50 and 800 feet and
expecting soon to reach the ore on the
400 level. A crosscut is running on the
500 now and the working shaft is down
$50 feet.
Early in 1908 the Kindergarten mine
will begin work upon its company mill
which also do custom service. In the be-
ginning the plant will be ~accoutered
with batteries equal to 40 tons a day,
but later the capacity will be increased
to 200 tons daily.
The Cole lease on the Fine Gold OBJ
tanned a recent assay that went $4,000
a ton, this at a depth of 70 feet. The
3-foot ledge at those diggings has been
averaging about $50 per ton.
Regular shipments are going from the
Mazuma Hills, which made a late sen
sational exposure on the S0-foot level.
Two feet of milling ore is in evidence
on he Blue Bird and four inches of the
product is of a shipping sort.
A big strike was made in the latter
part of the year on the Wild Cat and in
December the ~neighboring White Ele-

Similar to Palmetto's Is the history

Eureka. near Morey. Formerly the
country was named Danville. 1t was
r-eorganized three years ago as Chloride
by Col. S.. F. Mount. who has devoted
three years to the revivication OF the
Richmond mine. which in the old lays
produced $50, 900 from a 4o-foot glory
hole. That was in 1873. h present
owners have spent $4,000 in bringing
the mine back to life and have 1t now
upon a shipping basis. even against the
odds of the Ions wagon haul that is
necessitated by it's isolation. An en-
bryo stampede was made into the camp
late in this year. Malcolm Macdonald

region is being prospected. An incen-
tive is the probable advent of a rail-
road next year to within a few miles OF
