The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-05-23

| j. x. g., New York. The Yellow
Rose company owns next to the largest
patented acreage in the Goldfeld dis
trict, and lies in the heart of the camp,
although slightly east of the present
producing district. The owning com
pany seems to have been content with
having done enough work to patent,
waiting upon work of surrounding prop
critics to prove up the value of its
ground. At one time there were two
or three leases IN the property, but as
particular ground required deep work
ings, the leasers became discouraged
and quit. The ground will come in
some day, as it is within the mineral
zone. (2) The trouble in the Johnnie
Consolidated is not with the mine, but
i'll the failure to finance the big mill
that was projected. A large brokerage
house undertook to finance the mill.
Quite a large amount of money was
raised, but not enough and the mine,
NHith Hdo q btikC ahuouHt VI WV
blocked out, cannot realize on its ores
to advantage, as the matter now stands.
(3) The physical condition of the
Montgomery Shoshone, is in sharp con
troversy among experts, and it is be-
lieved that the recent scare. caused by
a certain expert report in the interests
of C. M. Schwab, was for stock-job
bling purposes. The mine is not as big
as once thought. This is generally con
ceded. But it is still a great mine. with
a magnificent mill that treats the ore
successfully, and the mine is destined
to pay dividends for years to come.
The newspapers published in the Bull
frog district vehemently assert that
mine conditions do not warrant the
bear reports recently sent out.
W. E. w., Winchester, Tenn. The
ncrth end of Combination Extension
ground is being worked under lease by
the frances Mohawk company with
very good prospects of getting ore. One
or more of the Little Florence and Rog-
ers veins are headed in that direction
AMI the grounds are not far separated.
The Combination Extension is prepar-
.n- o report which will be mailed to
stockholders within ten days. The re-
port will cmbody the presidents re-
port and that of the treasurer and the
manager, and will also have the engi-
neer's report and complete diagrams of
underground workings and halftones of
the t,S workings. No work is being
done a. present on the other properties
controlled by Mr.. Mackenzie, as their
money was caught in the failure of the
State Bank ami Trust company.
A. J. W., Little Falls, N. J. The o.
X. Fraction, belonging to the Goldield
Consolidated Mines company, is being
rrospected by the Rosebud lease,
financed by Warner Stewart Syndicate,
A large amount of work has been done;
the shaft is 400 feet with several hun
drcd feet of lateral work. The indiea'
tions of the past two days are that the
lease is likely to make into ore at any
time. The lease is ~splendidly located,
adjoining the Little Florence and Rog'
ers Syndicate on the west and the Puri
tan lease on the east and the Rustic,
on the North.
Giant Bullfrog, N. Y. The Giant
Bullfog has property in the extreme
southwest corner of Esmeralda county
and the west portion of Nye, where
they join the California line near the
Grapevine Peak, about II miles north
west of Curries Wells; the claims were
acquired by purchase, and to the best
of our knowledge, were not fully paid
for. There is an abundance of wood
and water on the property. and the
formation is very similar to the Bull
frog formation, with exceptionally
large dykes Of ~porphyry, full Of small
