The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-10-10

ner Mining company, you sent, ehpped
from a New York paper, containing a
showing in black outline a piece
of ground at the north end OF the
Jumbo. called on the map, the Jumbo
Fraction, reputed to belong to the Ban
ncr Mining company. From what we
see of the proposition it is the rankest
of frauds, and should be investigated
by the postofice department at Wash
ington. The brokers who are advertis-
ING the Banner Mining stock at ~
cents per share, w. r. Howard x Co.,
New York. show a good sized fraction
as belonging to the company, lying be-
tween the north end of the JUMBO
claim and the Jumbo Extension, ana
while laying claim to other property,
make this fraction the basis for selling
stock. Now, there is no such fraction,
so far as we can learn, after consulting
all the official maps of the district, and
competent engineers. Someone, pre-
sumably the Banner company, is claim
ing a little we~dge-shaped piece oil
ground on the north end of the Jumbo
10 feet wide at the big end of the
wedge, which tapers down to nothing
The Consolidated, owning the Jumbo,
claims this piece as belonging to the
claim of that name, completing the
l.5OO feet along the ledge, the full
of a claim, and the Consolidated
has gone into court to quiet title. But
even if this silver of ground were
owned by the Banner it would DC
worthless as Independent ground, as IL
is not big enough at the big end, even
for a shaft and top workings. We re
peat, therefore, that the proposition is
a fraud, and the advertising should be
stopped by the authorities.
G. d. H. & Co., Easton, Pa. We have
repeatedly answered questions In tins
department, of late, concerning the
Goldfeld Coming Nation. The com
PAW has been drifting for some time
without sail or rudder. A former
one of the Wilson's, is sueing
the company for $500 claimed as
back salary as manager. Charles Hat

Goldfeld.
G. w. B., Birmingham, Ala. The
Goldfeld Rex properties are not to be
found on Chute's official map of the
Goldfeld district, which would indicate
that they have not peer surveyed; they
are found, however, upon the Clason
man. and are situate about two miles
north and slightly east of the town of
D~iamondfeld, in a district that has
never been proven up for mineral,
There has not been any serious work
done in this section for a long time, as
it is not favored by mining men. ca
The Baltimore Belle lease on the Hub
runs for nearly a year and a half, yet.
The lease was given for 2h years from
September, 1907. At the end of the
time, if the shaft has been sunk 800
feet, an additional Is months are given,
Work is going on steadily.
G. A., Pittsburg, Pa. l.. l.. Patrick
informs The News authoritatively that
the Alice of Wonder, Manhattan Com
bination, Treadwell, North star and
Manhattan Buffalo properties, which
were promoted by Patrick, Elliott &
Camp, have been purchased by him
under execution in order to protect
SuIEcIOlutfs. ht viii ICuttptiitdtG W

ablcd to rcsecure their holdings BY the
payment of half a cent a share.
J. F., Alameda, Cal. Nothing has
been done ON the Jumbo Fraction since
the first few months after it's incorpora-
ton. Wells Morton, who put out the
fotation, seemed to give it no attention
after stock was sold, went to San Fran
CISCO and is now in Rawhide, we be-
lieve. 1t is a good piece of ground,
though too small to be the basis of a
81, 400, 900 company. There was a shaft
put down to $50 feet, but for a long
time no attention has been paid to the
proposition.
Constant Reader, San Francisco. If
YOU examined the columns of thi. de-
Lartmcnt last week, you there saw an
answer to a query about Gsldfeld
Somerset. There is such a company,
it has property scattered all round the
outskirts of the district, some work
was done on the various claims a year
or W ago, but nothing to speak of
since.
