@. A. H., Fon du Las, wis. The
Lucky Boys property consists of two
claims situated next to the Lone Star
on the northwest. 1t is good prospec-
tive territory, and while considerable
work has been done, sufficient depth has
not been reached to locate ore. The
ground lies on the slope of indicator
mountain, and is worked by shaft and
tunnel, probably 500 feet of work hav-
ing been done by the company. A lease
is in operation on the Lucky Boys,
owned by a company called the Aristok
NJ. & L.. Co. The manager is w. b.
Lucky Boys company. This leasing
company has a shaft about 800 feet
deep which is still in operation, with
three men at work. The leasing COM
pany is bothered by the lack of funds,
and an effort is now being made to
raise money to work on a more exten.
sive scale. No shipping ore has been
found in this general locality, although
this may be due to lack of sufficient
prospecting and development.
]. H., Wheeling, w. Va. We have no
data on the Wheeling Gold Range com
pany, with properties five miles from
S~odaville.' The property may be all
right, but if it were active and worth
much, think this office would probably
know something about it. The secre-
tary of the company is l.. G. Grey,
1904, Schmulbach building, Wheeling.
W. T. Hughes and W. IL. Woodruff, of
Moundsville, w. Va, are stockholders
and may know something about the
present status of company affairs.
R. K, Pomona, Kas. We have no
record of a Sterling Goldfield Mining
company. There is a Sterling Mining
company in Utah but none in this state,
so far as we can discover. (2) There
is also a Red Hills company made up of
Utah men, with home Office at Ogden,
but it is probable, although you do not
so state, that you mean the Red Hills
company of Goldfeld. This property
lies south of the Goldfeld Consolidated
estate, and adjoins the Portland on the
east. 1t is regarded as among the
choicest undeveloped ground in the dis
trict. 1t is being worked by l%easers,
but as yet no pay ore has been found.
J. B., New York City. The Mountain
Crown NJ. 4 l.. Co. lease on the Rustler
Fraction, is down $40 feet and will con
tinue sinking until the 400-foot point
is reached. The shaft is double com.
partment and all the workings are first
class. Some water is coming into the
shaft at the bottom. Stringers were
cut in the shaft at different points,
which gave values from So to $40, but
no attempt was made to follow these
stringers. No lateral work will be done
until the 4O0-foot point is reached.
J. E., Ancheninnes, Scotland. BY
this time, you have seen in these col
umns later references to the matter of
which you write. Stockholders have a
right under the laws of this state, to
examine books and properties but some
times this is resisted and an order of
the court is necessary. 1t would be
wholesome to have some of these com
panies investigated.
H. G. R., Salt Lake. The records
that there is a United Mining and
Exploration company, an Arizona cor
poration, purporting to W property in
Goldfeld district. We have no knowl-
edge of any work being done by this
company, and it is classed in our rec
ords as "non-active.'
L. r., San Francisco. If you have
read the columns of this paper care
fully the past few weeks you will have
seen reference to the progress on the
Mayfiower, Kewanas, Blue Bull and
Great Western. They are all live mes
and making news every week.
g. r. Nice, Carnage, Pa. There has
been nothing done on the property You
ask about for some time. Financial
troubles seem to have overtaken the
company, as we'll as internal dissen.
sions.
A. L. T., Los Angeles. The a5-stamp
mill of the Homestake King Consol-
idated Bullfrog Mining and Milling
company is practically finished and
within a few days win be tried out.
The contract allowed but six months
for constructing the mill.
