MEIKLE IN CHARGE OF
BABY FLORENCE LEASE

j. +. Meikle, who made such re-
markable success of the Rogers-Syndi-
cate, has accepted the general superin-
tendency of the Baby Florence. SO con
fdent is Mr.. Meikle that he will get a
tremendous extraction that, in lieu of a
stated salary, he accepted the position
on the basis of one per cent of the net
profits of the property.
On account of the air compressor buck
ing, great deal of the hole-driving in
the slopes of the Baby Florence this
week was done by use of the single
jack. The company is busily engaged
in development work and has not, thus
far, made attempts to do anything big
in the way of ore extraction. The prop
erty is being shaped up with the hopes
of heavy production in the near future.

GOLDFIELD SYNDICATE
ACQUIRES BIG PROPERTY

Having made a splendid cleanup in
the Rogers-Syndieate lease, the Gold
field Syndicate, initial promotion by the
Warner-Stewart company, has branched
out in another direction by purchasing
the Nevada Rockland control. Before
making this deal the Syndicate re-
turned to its shareholders the amount
of their original investment, in the
form of a ten-cent dividend, leaving the
assets of the company velvet for the
original shareholders.
This purchase was made for $4,000,
the company acquiring SO per cent of
the stock in the Nevada Rockland Min
ing company, making private purchase
of one per cent of the stock, giving con
troll. This leaves the original share
holders "a per cent of the capitalization
of the reorganized company, with 25
per cent remaining in the treasury.
The Roekland mine is one of the old
time bonanzas of Esmeralda county. IT
is situated lis miles from Goldfeld and
is not far from Hawthorne. The prop
erty has been developed by 1000 feet
of work. A long tunnel gave vertical
depth of 1000 feet, to which was added
an s0.foot Wine.
This property consists of fourteen
claims, which were originally located a
quarter of a century ago. The original
discoverer mortgaged the property 70

burned as soon as it was completed and

GOOD VALUES IN

Encouraging reports come from the

which is extracting ore from the go
foot drift. Two grab samples yester-
day yielded respectively $49O and $1so.
The vein is narrow, but shows excellent
values throughout.
A survey of the property shows that
the face of the drift is still sixty feet
from the line, with the values improv-
ing. About 100 sacks of shipping
grade ore are now stored in one of the
drifts and the shipment will shortly be
sent forward. As soon as the pump is
in working order the shaft will be sent
to 400 feet. In the bottom of the shaft
are boulders Indicative OF the close
proximity of the sulphide zone.
