An informal report was made by Presl-
dent Sprague on the work of the past
wear. and he outlined much that was
to be done by the new board in the
year to come.
A general discussion was held reia-
tive to a campaign to be made by the
Chamber of Commerce to secure the
next meeting of the National Mining
Congress for Goldfeld. A thorough or
ganization of committees will be made
and the work carried on in vigorous
and systematic way. A general meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce will
be called at an early date, when the
plans of the directors will be outlined.
A resolution was passed, expressing 1T
as the sense of the directory, that the
train time of the Tonopah and Gold
field be changed, so that the outgoing
train will leave in the evening, instead
of the morning, and that the time Of the
incoming train be changed to earlier in
the day. This will enable trains to
travel the desert at night instead of
day. and permit of sending out mail

James E. Keelyn called the attention
of the directors to the possibilities of
agriculture in southern Nevada, and
talked extendedly on the practicabflity
of building up large farming interests
inr the smany valleys that could be
brought under cultivation, by the de-
velopment and proper use of water that
is now going to waste. Mr.. Keelyn has
been making thorough study of south
ern Nevada from the standpoint of
agricultural possibilities, and has be-
come an enthusiast on the subject,
claiming that there is enough tllable
land in this section subject to irriga-
tion, to furnish population many times
the size of Goldfeld with all fruits,
vegetables and feed stuff necessary,
without importation from remote points.
The Chamber of Commerce will in
vestigate the subject thoroughly and if
the results warrant, will bring the mat
ter TO the attention of the railroads and
land agents in Chicago and other large
centers of population.

MOST RECENT STRIKE in
FLORENCE IMMENSELY RICH

A strike that promises to rival the
phenomenal production of the famous
Engineers lease, which earned nearly
100000 in dividends in three months,
was made few days ago in the lease
block adjoining, formerly known as the
Daisy Florence but now held and oper-
ated by the Mitchell Fairfield Develop
ment company. The find was made last
Sunday in an upraise from the 3l5-foot
level. Four inches of quartz assays
$461 so a ton and four inches of tale
lying parallel to it assays $437.sO ton.
Between the quartz and the tale lies a
narrow streak of ore that is half gold,
making the average value for the nine
inches something sensational. If the
find holds out the record of the En-
gineers' win easily be duplicated and
possibly exceeded.
A strange freak of fortune in connec-
tion with this discovery is the fact that
the picture streak was found within six
inches of where the former owners OF
the lease stopped work after spending
upward of 100000 in vain endeavor
to locate the treasure. The Daisy Flor
ence was controlled by Campbell, David
son & Co., of Chicago. They sunk a
shaft 315 feet and did vast amount of
lateral work and while good assays were
frequently obtained they could not To-

ON THE VELVET is

Merger Mines company, which owns the

latch and Gold Horn properties. The
Merger company is sinking deep shaft
on the Gold Horn and has already
reached depth of 600 feet, on which

preparing to sink other deep shafts on
the property, one on the Velvet and one
on the St. Ives. 1t has ample funds
with which to carry out President
Erikson S plans for extensive and COM
prehensive development of the COM
pany's holdings. The strike has
naturally caused a big revival in inter
est in property in that vicinity and
other leasers in the neighborhood are
confident of getting the extension of
the vein. The vein appears to be trend-
ing toward the St. Ives and Manager
A. A. Codd of the st. Ives Leasing COM
pany thinks he has an excellent chance
to get it. The st. Ives Teasing COM
pany is sacking some very good ore run
ming around 800 ton. This ore comes
from the fiftyfoot level and has wild
ened out from knife blade seam to
vein nearly a foot wide. There is
twenty tons of this ore in the bins and
another shipment will be made in few
davs
