General Superintendent Bryce Turner,
Of the Montgomery Shoshone, who re-
turned from New York the first of the
week, admits that the newspaper state
ments regarding the property based on
the forthcoming engineers report to
the stockholders are more or less true.
The report will be made public in q few
days, and at this time Mr.. Turner is I'M
willing to 60 into details. The advance
information stating in effect that devel
opmcnt in the lower levels has been dis
appointing, Mr.. Turner confirms. He is
lone the less sanguine, however, regard
ing the ultimate outcome of the prop
erty. To a Miner representative he
said:
"While it is a fact that the lower
levels have not shown up as we ex-
pected, ! am fully convinced that when
the sulphide zone is reached, the Sho-
shone will prove to be bigger and bet
ter than ever. 1t is in the mining game,
and we must expect these reverses. We
are below the 60O-foot level now, and
sinking will be continued until we reach
the sulphides, when we confidently hope
to open up something big.
elm the meantime We will continue to
operate the mine and treat the output
as heretofore. The cleanup which is
now being completed will be the larg-
est in the history of the property. We
are employing a good force of men,
taking out ore and operating the mill,
and this will be the program until we
run out of commercial material, which
is hardly probable for a long time to
Gomez
Mr.. Turner does not believe that the
engineers report has anything to do
with any stock jobbing proposition. He
says that they are reputable engineers
sent out by the stockholders TO make an
examination of the property, and he is
of the opinion that they were acting in
good faith.
On his return Mr.. Turner was accom-
panied by DIR. Ward of Pittsburg, a di-
rector in the Montgomery Shoshone
company and intimately associated with
Charles Schwab. DIR. Ward visited the
mine and expressed himself as greatly
pleased with it's operation. As the guest
Of w. b. Milliken, he visited the Home
stake mill also, and spent some time in
this part of the district.

to Biddlecome, Culver and associates,
~leasers on the Diamond Queen, state
that the 30-ton shipment recently made
from the property averaged $2l7 to the
ton.
This is the second shipment, and n
third is on the way, but has not yet
been heard from. The first shipment
went to Millers and ran about $3.50.
Diamond Queen to Start
The annual stockholders meeting of
the Diamond Queen was held at Beatty,
Saturday, and the following officers and
directors elected for the ensuing year:
f. J. Waugh, president; 7. r. Ker-
mich, vice president; +. l.. Warbnrton,
secretary and treasurer; directors, I.

1t was decided at the meeting to ere

to be repeated, and startling facts may
be expected as development proceeds
in the even tenor of it's way.
So far as the Review is concerned, it
looks for great activity in Goldfeld
stocks in the near future. When Gold
field once gets into its stride, after all
the troubulous events of the past two
years. the eyes of the speculative world
will be turned hither.
It's leading stocks are today selling at
prices far below their intrinsic merit.
They may go lower before they 60
higher. but in the main they offer OPP
%portunities for large profits. A period
of dullness seems to have ~pervaded all
stocks, industrial as well as mining, bnt
lightning flashes occur weekly, almost,
ever now, in Goldfeld stocks. No such
swift action could occur in industrial
stocks as is often noted on the ex-
changes trading in Goldfelds. No such
quick money can be made in industrial
as can be made in the Goldfeld stocks
at all times.
In the minds of the big financial mag
mates, whose attention to Goldfeld is
an occurrence Of comparatively recent
date. big things are expected Of the
camp. They have invested millions and
they want to invest millions more. They
are looking with e~nvious eyes to secure
other properties than those in which
they are now interested and they are
using every near known to finance to
secure them. -.
The speculative game will grow with
the material growth of Goldfeld. and
some record-breaking prices may be
looked for as well as record-breakine
productions.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ON
RAMSEY COMST00 MILL

cropping, was uncovered, from which
the owner obtains some very good pan
nings.
Walkover
At the Walkover mine they are stead
lily drifting on the 100-fost level to
catch the big 30-foot ledge which
trends parallel to the one now uncov-
cred in the incline shaft. 1t is expected
that a few more days will reach the
wall of the large ore body at which time
the owners look for some high grade
ore. In the shaft values have increased
workings neared the sulphide zone, so
it is but natural that something choice
is looked for in the other ledge at
depth.
Ramsey-Queen
The sensationally rich Ramsey-Quecn
mine is in the limelight this week and
a keen interest is taken in doings owe
there. The owners have commenced
sacking the high grade ore that has
been in evidence on that property ever
since the first shovelful of earth was
thrown out.
Golden West
Tunneling work continues on the Col.
den West group, over in Blue Canyon,
and with it a greater exposure of ore is
resulting. Since the ledge is of large
dimensions it will require some DAYS
vet to drive a crosscut to the opposite
or hanging wall. The tunnel is driven
along the foot wall side of the main
ledge and has already cut a cross assure
from which very rich Mornings are OBJ
tanned. This ore body is about five feet
wide and of itself constitutes a very
valuable ore body.
Colo Center
At the Gold Center mine the Ramsey
brothers are doing some substantial
work. Just at present underground ex-
ploration is going on and a crosscut is
being made from the shaft toward the
east to expose a wide vein of rich ore
that occurs on the the east wall of a
big porphyry dyke. The work is being
done at a depth of about 60 feet, which
will no doubt Expose the vein very
much wider thar it shows zeal surface
as well as richer.

Ground was broken last Monday Tor
the tracks of the Western Railway com
pany, which is to connect Rawhiie with
the Southern Pacific at Walker Lake,
and the grading will be comp'ctei IN
from forty to sixty days. Tha Reed
teaming outfit came from Sacramento
to do the work Of grading on the new
road. and on Monday morning there
were 100 head of horses and 80 head Of
mules in evidence. The big caaap was
put up at Modoc, a place about six
miles from Schurz, which will be the
Walker lake terminu5 of the ra;lroau,
and by night the graoers were tao
miles ont on the road.
The construction, it is said by the
management, win be ready to follow
the graders as soon as the grading is
finished, and the road will be com
pleted in four or Ave months from the
time Of commencement. General Man
ager Renfro says that there is now on
hand all the money that is necessary
for the work.

SUPERINTENDENT
BELIEVES MINE A WINNER

ate q treasury at once and undertake
extensive development work on com
pany account There are now fourteen
sets of lessers on the Diamond Queen,
and all but two, IL is stated, are in ore.
The leasers have demonstrated in .
large measure the extent and value Of
the ere deposit, and the company pro
poses to get busy on its own account.
Eoaue Wenaar . Donausa
A new body Of ore running from $50
TO $500 has been broken into at the
Keane Wonder. IL was encountered in
Homer Wilson says that the average of
the uncovering is about $50 to the ton
in gold.
Of values at the property with develop
ment, but this Is the best ore showing
which has vet appeared. 1t Is the same
character of quartz found in other
parts of the mine, but the gold values
are decidedly better.
Mr.. Wilson, accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson, came in Sunday by auto with
one of the regular clean-ups.
The bar of bullion represented nine
and a half mill days of "a hours each,
and weighed 396 ounces troy. The bull
lion was finer in quality than the aver
age cleanup, and Mr.. Wilson thought
it would run about 81 to the ounce,
making an approximate value of $1,000.
The bar was deposited in the First Ma
tional Bank for transmission to tho
mint.
sacking Rich Ore
At the Peterson ratton lease on tho
Original Bullfrog 20 sacks of ore which
It is estimated will average between
$500 and $400 to the ton have been
taken out, and the leasers expect to
make a shipment of from 8 to 10 tons
about June /. Work on the high grade
stringer which carries a width OF about
8 inches was discontinued a few days
ago, and the tunnel run Is feet straight
ahead. Then a crosscut was carried
back to the hanging to which the rich
streak clings opening an intervening
space of excellent milling ore.
VIII Increase Force
Judge volney T. Hoggatt of the
West Extension, says he will have 30
men at work on the property by June
1. Superintendent L. p. McGarry Is
now working 10 men and doing general
development work.
Company to Start MIL
Although there have been various
and sundry delays in the starting OF
the mill at the Bullfrog Pioneer lease,
Superintendent j. r. Bryan thinks that
it will be ready for business now in q
very short time. All the machinery
with the exception of the Huntington
mill is in place and ready to run. rms
rr;u has hcen on the road from Denver
for some time, and its delivery is daily
expected. 1t is probable that the plant
will be started next week.
In the mine the drift on the ore is in
n distance Of 80 feet with n full face of
ore, and ore on both sides. The entire
face indicates a content according to
the pans, Mr.. Bryan thinks, Of about
SIS. The ledge carries a width OF 20
feet with good milling values through
out.

ORDERED FOR
NEW MILL FOR MANHATTAN

The Jumping Jack is making good. The
returns from a shipment of ore from
the Kendall Douglass lease Melted the
operators $5,4s4.90. The lease is being
operated by Tom Kendall and w. j.
Douglass and a week ago sc tons Of orc
were shipped to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company at Millers. The values
extracted from this ore were $l41.40 in
gold and $1.49 in silver per ton.
Lsasers Are Lucky
The last round of shots Saturday
night exposed the rich pay shoot in the
drift being run out from the Big Chief
workings to cut the ledge on the Toro
Blanco ground. The ledge. in its dip to
the west, cut the southwest corner of
the drift, and where exposed was ten
inches wide, and was similar to the rich
ore in the shafts and drifts to the north,
on the Big Chief estate. The first piece
of ore picked up was literally sprinkled
with gold, and the whole mass PANIED
freely. The ledge has since widened to
two feet, and is still widening. There
is a foot of tale and gouge along the
foot wall which also pans freely.
Messrs. Berry and Gitchell, the
l~essees, propose to continue the drift
anonther so feet, which will give them
200 feet of backs for stopping. They
will then put an additional force of men
to work breaking down ore for the mill.
This lease promises to be the banner
proposition of the camp, and unless all
signs fail. the owners will clean up a
neat fortune by the end of their lease.
Steady Stream Of Gold
The gold continues to come from
Manhattan. Last night a bar worth
$4,000 was brought in and deposited at
the Tonopah Banking corporation, says
the Tonopah Sun of Monday evening.
1t came from the Briggs Evans lease on
Union No. Q and is a product of the
Peterson mill. A cleanup is expected
in a few days, when it is thought &c.,
900 will be the amount of the yellow
metal returned.
Lease on Earl
Lease No. 5 on the Earl ground, being
operated by Messrs. Connolly and La
Lime, now has a shaft down 10 feet in
a good milling grade of rock. The ledge
PANIED well at the surface and the
values are increasing with depth.
Is Record Breaker
The 1000 tons of ore from the Briggs
Evans dump on Union 2, now being run
at the Manhattan Ore Reduction and
Refining eompany's plant, is a record
breaker for Manhattan, so far as saving
the values is concerned. The rock as
averaging $50 per ton, and the two last
assays made Of the tailings this week
shows that they run 40 cents to the ton.
This means that a saving of % 2-3 per
cent is being made on the $40 rock.
Another lot of bullion from this run
will soon he ready for shipment to the
mint.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-05-16

That Manhattan is to have another
mill is now an assured fact. The ma
chinery has been ordered and the first
shipment is expected to arrive in camp
within three weeks time, saws the Mail.
Charles T. Sncdeker, Of Chicago, who
in last weeks issue of the Mail was
quoted as saying that there was ample
tonnage in this camp for another mill,
and that he was considering putting in
a plant here, is the man behind the pro-
ject, and the announcement that the
equipment has beer ordered will be her
aided with joy by the loyal people of
Manhattan.
Mr.. Snedeker, who departed ten days
ago for San Francisco and Chicago, in
a letter to his son, Gordon Snedeker, in
this city. stated that he had completed
arrangements for the installation of n
reduction plant in Manhattan. and that
while in San Francisco he had ordered
the machinery. The mill will have a
daily capacity of 100 tons, and will be
especially adapted to treating ores of
this camp. 1t will be a custom plant
aud will treat the ores of the mines
and leases of the Manhattan district.
Mr.. Snedeker is expected back from
the east in about two weeks and will
be on hand to receive the material for
the mill and to see to its installation.
Including the mill at Central, which
it is announced is to be brought to this
camp, enlarged and again pu. in opera
ton. the Snedeker plant will constitute
Manhattan sixth mill.
Rich In Free Gold
On the Foreman lease on the Earl,
where a drift is now being run to strike
the main ledge, several rich stringcrs
have been encountered which show free
gold. 1t is thought that the drift. is in
close proximity to the ledge.
Strike on Union No. 9
Monday evening a 4-foot ledge was
broken into on lease No. l on Dexter
No. 9, that at a conservative estimate
will average 800 per ton in gold.
At the 5O-foot and 100-foot levels ore
of a good milling grade was uncovered,
and a run at a local mill showed the
rock to average better than $35 per ton.
In the drift at the $50 level, the values
were found to be increasing, and Mon
day evening the real bonanza rock was
struck. atE
1t is the intention of the ~lessees to
Degln stopping out tne high Rraue at
once, and will soon have another u
ready for the mill that it is expected
will net as big returns as anything yet
milled in the camp.
w. NJ. Veith and Milo Plemenaz are
the lucky owners of this lease, and are
highly elated at their success.
Jumping Jack Shipment
Another Manhattan property has
doomed up as a bullion producer and
another link in the chain of facts that
Manhattan is making good is added.

GROUND BROKEN FOR
RAILROAD TO RAWHIDE

The building Of the railroad will
proceed in tho best part of the year
for Rawhide. The work will be going
on at the time when the entire country
will be under the usual summer dull
ness, and there will be money coming
into Rawhide for the work on the road.
II will be completed at a time when
the financial market should be strength
ening up, when things are easy in the
outside world, and when the eyes OF
the investors are again turning to
Rawhidc.
BY that time there will have been
done a wonderful lot Of development in
the camp, and the mills which are
promised in the neighborhood Of Walker
lake will be well under way. The rail
road company has promised the lowest
rates for transportation, and the mills,
in consequence, are going to aid in the
development of the camp amazingly.
There need be no fear of the mills not
being constructed. for there is plenty
of capital in the country awaiting such
an opportunity. -Rawhide Times.

For eighteen inches along the hanging

ALLOWANCES FOR MONTH
MADE TO CONTRACTORS.

At the regular monthly business
meeting of the building committee OF
the Y. NJ. c. \. held yesterday after
noon no definite settlement was made
in regard TO the contract with the con-
tractors for the Y. NJ. c. A. building.
The building has not been completed
in the specified time. In the contract
it states in very explicit terms that
after the first day of September the
contractors shall forfeit SIS day I'M
til the building is finished.
One of the directors of the commit
tee stated that notice would be served
on the contractors and the forfeiture
would be claimed. Another member
stated that there is no need for sery-
ing notice as the contract does not
say that notice has to be served but
simply states that the contractors
shall pay that amount. Still another
member stated that II is probable that
no definite decision would be made
until the final settlement with the
contractors when some OF the forfeit
ture will probably be claimed.
The regular allowances were made
the contractors for the month ended.

MYSTERY DEEPENS

Omaha, Neb., Sept 3.-The mystery
deepens in the Ruskin shooting.
Bloodstains indicate he was shot in
the hallway of his home anu staggered
afterward to a chair on the porch. His
wife is hysterical and unable to en-
tighten the police. Lerry Burnly is
being detained by the police, but still
denies knowledge of the tragedy. The
case assumes a remarkably similar as
pect to the Atlantic City boardwalk
mystery, the Burnly woman being
with Ruskin during the night and up
to two blocks from his home The
police believe she is concealing knowl-
edge. This is the third tragic death
in the Ruskin family. Captain Rus
kin, the father, persisted on an Alas
kan exploring expedition and the doc
tors younger brother died of injuries
received in initiation into a secret fra
ternity.
