SEVENTEEN
SACKS FULL
OF RICH ORE
LITTLE FLORENCE LEASE IN
NEW ORE SHOOT
LAST SHIPMENT is WORTH $1o A
POUND
Lease Expires April %, and Work Is
Rushing to Get Out High
VaIues--NeW
Deal

GOLDFIELD, April 5.-Another good
shipment was credited to the Little
Florence Tuesday. Seventeen sacks
that were estimated to average $1,000
sack We're taken out and deposited in
the vaults of the John s. Cook bank.
The ore shows free gold, and in the
breast of the drift, half way between
the 400 and 500-foot levels, Is four feet
of high-grade, and one foot of it is the
kind of stuff that runs at the rate of
$40 pound, according to the statement
of the officers of the company.
The lease has only until April % to
run, and the management will have to
get busy to remove the ore, as there is
no chance for a renewal, owing to diff
ferences between the Florence Gold
field and the Little Florence Leasing
company precluding the possibility OF
an extension. In fact, another COM
pany, which will be built ON different
lines, expects to get the lease, but the
conditions of it liable to be different
from that of the old lease.
The Little Florence shareholders
have not been receiving the steady
dividends promised and are getting a
little anxious to find the reason why,
II the stories given to the press and
published in market letters cannot be
borne out. 1t was represented during
the labor troubles that tied up all the
mines a few months ago that some
thing like $500 tons of ore had been
piled up on the ground and that a con-
servative estimate of it's value was $3.50
a ton, or gross value of $625,000
When the returns were received 1t was
found that there was less than half the
reported tonnage, with a gross value of
about 10 per cent of the estimate.
James e. Keelyn and associates of
Chicago have held the controlling in
terest in the property ever since 1t be-
came a producer. George Vickers and
Dr. w. X. Robinson of Goldfield were
minority stockholders, and probably
hold their stock yet. Very little of the
stock has been held here. Chicago and
Milwaukee, as we'll as other eastern
investors, bought 1t at as high as $3.50
share.
The present strike Is undoubtedly a
very rich one, but those who paid
fancy prices for the stock. in the opin
ion of those who know the conditions
and are Gware of the fact that the
lease has only three weeks to run, will
have slim chance of playing even.
This new find, for the limited time of
the lease, will not make up the de-
ficiency. Queries from Chicago, re-
ceived here Tuesday and for several
days past. would indicate that the
stock of the company was being un-
loaded. Several thousand shares were
sold Tuesday at much less than eastern
quotations, and several local stock
holders expressed a willingness to ac-
cept a similar bid

FRENCH BUY
BIG BLOCK
PAY 100000 FOR SHARES OF
MERGER
PRICE is FIFTY CENTS ABOVE
MARKET
Syndicate Is Said to Be Willing to
Duplicate Purchase at the
Same Price-Stock
Strong

GOLDFIELD, April 5.-French in
vestors have taken up an option on
100 900 shares of Goldfield Consolidated
stock at Sc a share. This costs tnem
$500 900 cash.
Cable wires are now hot to brokers
in New York, San Francisco, Chicago
and Goldfield. asking for more OF the
same stock at about the same price,
which is half a dollar above the pres
ent market 1t is said the French syn
dicate is willing to take 1OO,OO0 more
shares for purely investment purposes.
The block of 100000 shares did not
come from the company itself put
was sold by Barney Baruch, who held
an option himself on such number at
a figure said to be lower than Sc, thus
cleaning up a fortune. He
transferred the option to Walton E.
Dowlen of the Nevada -Goldfield Re-
duction works, who, in turn made the
deal with the Frenchmen.
This option would not have expired
until this week. But the syn
dicate wanted the stock badly and
now seeks more. Brokers in the big
commodate the people across the wa
ter, who know a good thing when they
see it.
Locally and in San Francisco the
stock went kiting when it became
known that the option had been exer-
cised, reaching $5.521a bid, as against
s. fat only a few days ago.
The immense showing in the mines
of the company and the strikes that
have been made on the Florence
ground, which adjolns it, may have
helped out in getting people Interested
in what is believed to be the richest
gold mine in the world.
This work is not being carried on
by men who do not know what they
are about, and from the general man
ager down to shift boss, they un-
derstand their business. The near
completion of the mill also has some
thing to do with the advance. The
railway to the mill will be completed
in a short time, and the company will
be free from the exactions of the rail-
way corporations, as well as the smell
ter trust That will mean dividends,
as the ore is in the mines.

METALLIC COPPER FOUND
IN OLD AJ0 WORKINGS
Unwatering of Famous Mines Reveals
an Accumulation of Valuable
Metal on the Railroad
Rails

YUMA, April 5.-Discovery of rich
metallic copper has been made at the
Old Ajo mine while the old workings
were being unwatered, according to
superintendent A. d. Lee.
1t was found that copper had ac-
cumulated along the eight-pound rails
on the track in the mine tunnel for
rails
This copper was gathered and 1t
made twenty-one sacks of metal. An
assay showed that the copper ranged
81 per cent pure 1t had been gather
ing on the iron rails for number OF
years.
While the old workings on the mine
were being unwatered 1t was found
that the water in the shafts was so inn
pregnated with copper that crusts
formed in the water pipes.
Mr.. Lee stated that the present plans
of the Rendell Reduction company,
owning the Ajo mine, include a per-
manent shaft to be run from the end
of the Col. Bean workings to the sur
face. When the property was previ-
ously worked by Colonel Bean he sunk
a shaft $50 feet down and then ran a
tunnel It's feet on that level. The shaft
to the surface will be begun at the end
of the 175 foot workings.
Mr. Lee stated that big improve
ments are being made on the wagon
road between Ajo and Gila bend.
These improvements are being paid for
by Maricopa county.
A woman road overseer is in charge
of the work. She is Mrs. Rowley. wife
of the foreman at the Southern Pacific
roundhouse in ella bend. She Is said
to be fully as good as any of the other
road overseers and is getting excellent
results from a force of thirty-five Ia
borers which she has under her COM

Whipple Mountain
Nugget Is Shaped
Like Rams Horn
PECULIAR specimen

A PECULIAR specimen in the
~ shape of a twenty-pound nugget
of copper taken from the Whipple
Mountain Gold and Copper Mining
company's property can be seen at the
company's office in the chamber Of
commerce building, this city. One end
of it looks like a rams head The body
of the beast seems to have been
crushed and the legs are sprawled out
on either side.
The Whipple mine has been making
some big showings of late in gold and
copper. Out of five pounds of ore eight
ounces Of pure copper was taken. be-
sides the gold and silver. Most of the
red metal ore runs over II per cent
with an ounce of gold and six ounces
of silver. The veins are all assures and
the amount of ore in sight can hardly
be estimated. 1t is a mine that is des-
tined to hold its own and produce for
tunes to those interested.
James L. Brice. an experienced min
ing man, is president of the company
and A. j. Richardson treasurer. Their
machinery is modern, and they have
one of the best equipped camps in the
country.
New strikes are of almost daily oc-
currence and ore that runs from $50 to
$100 a ton is common with this prop
erty. The owners have little to say,
but keeping on digging. They have
the ore and plenty of it of high grade,
and anyone who desires to investigate
can easily do so.
The Whipple Mountain mine Is only
another evidence of the great mineral
wealth of San Bernardino county.
