Speakers declared that Mr.. Feeney had
taken stand in the political campaign
against the policy of the Central Labor
Union and Samuel Gompers. president Of
the American Federation of Labor, which
policy was distinctly for the election Of
William j. Bryan, while he had gone on
the stump to advocate the election OF
Taft and Sherman.
Mr.. Feeney was not present when his
actions were SO vigorously discus I'd. He
has not returned from his stumping tour

states of New York and Ohio, 1t was
stated Announcement was made that at
the next meeting of the central body &C

cause of his republican work, but cooler
heads interviewed and it was withdrawn
until Mr. Feeney Is present to defend his
position.

A delegate announced that the painters

letter was in response to the complaint
that a captain of the Fifth precinct had

campaign of the state of Kansas and
of the United States before an enthu-
siastic audience here last night. It was
the last political speech, his address
at Lincoln on his Homecoming being
non partisan. Mr.. Bryan realized it was
the concluding political speech of the
campaign. and his last words were
given with more than ordinary feeling
His peroration was delivered with all
the earnestness at his command, and
as he declared that he had given an
impulse to honest politics and helped
to create a sentiment in favor of re-
formb, he was wildly applauded by the
large audience.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 am now
forty-eight years old. 1t is eighteen
years since l began my political career
as a candidate for Congress. 1 told the
people of my district that If elected +
would not try to get their hands into
other peoples pockets; that 1 would
simply try to keep other peoples hands
out of their pockets. For eighteen
years this thought has run through
every speech and act. l have tried
to apply to government the Jeffersonian
maxim of equal rights to all and spe-
cial privilege to none l have tried
to help make this government a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people.
For eighteen years you have had
chance to scan my every speech and
act. While republican leaders have dis
appeared as the result of Investigations,

ponents, and have Outlived their criti-
cisms and their misrepresentation.

GOLDFIELD FIRM ACQUIRES
IMPORTANT RAwHIDE LEASE

A deal has Just been closed, whereby
the well known Goldfield firm of Geo.
+. Won Polenz & Co. has purchased the
control of the Original Rawhide Mining
company, operating the Kearns No. l
lease. While this lease has, in the past,
shipped considerable ore and has always
been regarded as one of Rawhide's best
properties, it is believed by the new
management, which has made a most
complete and careful examination of
the workings, that within a short time,
this lease will become an exceedingly
heavy producer and will be a great sue
cess.
It is the intention to sink imme-
diately an additional 100 feet in the
main working shaft No. 2, and then
crosscut for the ore body which has
been encountered on the 150-foot level
and which has already yielded large
and valuable shipments. Yesterday r.
v. Ellis, of the firm of Geo. F. Won
Polenz & Co., left for Rawhide, to-
gether with one of the firm Is superin-
tendents and a crew of experienced
miners, and energetic work will be
started Immediately.

BROKEN HILLS COMPANY
GETTING OUT SHIPMENT

The Broken Hills Mining company,
formed by j. G.. Mccormack of Gold
field and associates, has entered into a
six months contract with the Goldfield
Trading and Transfer company for
hauling the ore from the mine to Tone
pah. Four ore teams left Goldfeld
Wednesday morning, carrying timber
and other mining supplies, and will con.
true in service between the mine and
Tonopah. 1t is expected that the first
shipment of about twenty tons will be
gotten out this week. The company has
purchased an assay plant, and complete
sampling of the ore will be done before
being sent out.
A mill test of the shipment now being
gotten out was made by the Tonopat
Belmont company and returned l1.os
ounces gold and 317.24 ounces silver, 8
total value of $380.22 per tom. Fifteer
men are now at work getting out thu
ore, and this number will be rapidly in
creased.

GOLDFIELD GETS IN
AT SEVEN TROUGHS

The Seven Troughs district is rapidly
coming to thefront as a l~easers' district.
The recent new discoveries of ore de-
posits in Void Horse canyon have stim.
ulated the demand for leases. The
Seven Troughs Gem M. Co., owned and
controlled by Goldield parties, has re-
Gently let two leases on its January
No. ] and 2 and several applications for
leases on the Empress and Gilt Edge
claims are being considered. On the
Golden Horseshoe claim in Wild Horse
canyon John S. Holland and associates
of Goldfield, who are leasing on the
estate, have opened up a fine body of
ore at a depth of 80 feet. Adjoining
the Horseshoe on the northwest the
Wild Bull estate has high grade ore in
several of it's workings. Adjoining the
Horseshoe estate ON the northeast the
Ivers Extension has let several leases
and further north in Wild Horse can
yon at least a half dozen properties
have opened up splendid bodies of ore.
The Seven Troughs Wonder, controlled
by Harry Coffee and associates of Gold
field, has the extension of the Badger
vein, which recently has been showing
| ~ such remarkable values. Harry cof-
fee is now in New York in connection
with his holding in Seven T~roughs, on
the Vernal Fraction adjoining the
estate of Seven Troughs Gem. Leasers
have been extracting and shipping ore
from a ledge 80 feet wide at a depth
OF $50 feet. With the pumping plants
installed on several of such well known
properties as Mazuma Hills, Therien,
kindergarten. Reagan lease, Hayes
lease, Sandifer lease and a score of
others, the produe1 ION of the Seven
Troughs district will not fall far be-
hind any in the state.
1t is rumored that several Seven
Troughs companies are perfecting plans
to list their stocks on the Goldfeld ex-
change.

been instructed to prepare two test
shipments of ten tons each to be for.
warded for cyanide tests at Denver and
Salt Lake. Grading for the erection of
a 1OO-ton cyanide plant will commence
as soon as the ground plans are re.
ceived from the contractor.
Nh. Jones states that the Windfau
is one of the big cyanide propositions
OF the west, and that there is scarcely
a doubt that within the next wear this
property will commence to take rank
as a producer of gold bullion with the
Gilt Edge, Kendall and other big cv.
anide propositions of the country. the
enrichment extending along the dyke
a known distance of 1000 feet, and as
at present disclosed is nearly 200 feet
in width. The average value of this
ertire mass runs considerably better
than one ounce in gold, making it one
OF the highest grade cyaniding propo-
sitions in the country. 1t is probable
that the ore will be extracted by the
glory-hole or caving sytem.
The average value given above does
not include the wonderful high grade
ore shoots from which the owners have
been extracting and shipping some of
the richest ore ever sent from the state.
The installation of the cyanide pro
cess for treating the gold bearing ores
OF this district on a scale of such mag
nitude is one of great significance to the
mining industry of the camp.
The entire charge of the company's
interests here will be vested in Super
intendent Charles T.. Weidman, who is
recognized as one of the most competent
min managers in the state, and who
brought out and put on a dividend basis
the Spotted Horse, Maginnis and great
Gilt Edge mines of Montana.
Mr.. Jones, the general manager of
the Western Mining and Development
company leaves Saturday for the west,
butt informed the Sentinel that the
camp of Eureka will in future receive
a very liberal share of the attention
of himself and associates. The other
members of the party return Saturday
by auto for Goldfeld. Eureka Sentinel.

MT. CROWN CROSSCUTTING
ON TWO DEEP LEVELS

The Mountain Crown lease on block
property, started prosecuting on the
500 level and $50 level on the 10th of
this month.
The shaft is down 500 feet with a
20-foot stump. A crosscut is being driv-
en- on the 350-foot level to the west and
on the 500-foot level both to the east
and west.
Mr.. Bailey, manager of the lease, is
confident of picking up the big ledge on
cutting. This ledge was encountered
between the 800 and 450-foot depths
and was dipping to the east at about
20 degrees.
In the shaft it carried values running
from $2.40 to $3.50 a ton. The ledge
is fully 25 feet wide and is undoubt-
edly the main Florence ledge, as it has
all the characteristics of that vein and
lies in the same formation. This is the
first prospecting work done by the
leasing company below the 200-foot
level and Mr.. Bailey is very hopeful,
considering the very encouraging forma-
ton cut while sinking, that values
worth shipping will be opened up on the
lower levels.
The company is working three full
shifts and to date has driven its cuts
in about 20 feet east and west IN the
5OO-f foot level and Is feet on the $50
foot Level. This lease has until the 18th
of October. 1909. to run.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-10-17

Early in the week the 600 level was
reached in the main shaft on the Dey-
ling claim of the Silver King group
thence prosecuting began both to the
north and the south and is being pushed
with vigor. Late in the week in the
south crosscut a streak of apparently
good ore was encountered, but its quail
ity or quantity is not yet know This
seems to be a blind stringer or vein, as
it has not shown in the upper workings.
However, it is a good indication for ore
at the 200-foot depth, and wen as such
is welcomed. Much is expected of de-
velopments at this depth, and to cut
into an ore body similar to that of the
Great Western at the same depth, would
surprise no one, but would be in ae-
cord with the general vein structure of
the camp.
Cuprite Sulphur
This company has had a force of
some fourteen men at work for the past
several months and now have approx
mately 100000 ton of sulphur ore
stripped ready for extraction. A ware
house has been constructed at Cuprite
to facilitate shipments. 1t is intended
that the, greater part of the ore will be
shipped to New York for refining in
New Jersey. Quite a good share of the
product is taken in San Francisco, and
some has been sold even in Goldfeld.
The ore yields $40 per ton profit. Re
Gently a block of treasury stock was of
fered in Los Angeles at 81 per share
and it was snapped up quickly.
Desert View Shipping
The Desert View Mining Il Milling
company, operating the Morning tSar,
is preparing its initial shipment of ore,
which will consist of two or more tons
that will go in the neighborhood of $50
a ton. The values are principally in
gold.
The ore is being extracted from the
I00-foot level, where drifts are being
run easterly and westerly along the
vein. The east drift is out 40 feet and
shows six feet of ore, about fourteen
inches of which is of a shipping grade.
