intention of the company to push work
on their several properties.
B. E. L., San Jose, Cal. North Star
of Tonopah is controlled by President
Frank Golden of the Nye & Ormsby
County bank and associates. It's shaft
has been sunk to greater depth than
any other property in Southern Nevada,
and has been worked as well by adit
tunnel. Occasional shipments are be-
ing made, but the property IS not on a
paving basis. 1t is situated high on
Mt. Oddie, from which is being mined
vast treasure. Mr.. Golden and asso-
%ciates paid as high as 81 cents per
share to secure control. North Star got
a black eye two years ago by increasing
its capitalization. 1t is a property
great in possibilities. The shares are
largely held in Nevada. Montana Tono-
pah and Tonopah Mining company are
~neighbors.
T. M, San Francisco. The mineral
showing on Litigation hill, Manhattan,
is better thar ever before. A splendid
grade of ore is showing at leaseholds on
the Earl, Union Extension and Thelma
estates, and likewise in the company
workings at Manhattan Consolidated
Milo Planenaz, working lease No. l on
the Union No. 2 claim, has a shaft down
60 feet and is in 3 feet of $40 per ton
ore. The second shaft on the lease is
down So feet, being unk in the june
ture of two strong lodges. One of these
veins is 8 feet wide and gives an aver
age ASSAY Of $12 the ton, the other be-
ing ? feet wide and averaging $50 per
ton in gold content. Ore from both
shafts is being stacked On dump pend
ing the time when it can be reduced at
the Veith-Plamena mill. At present
the plant is treating a consignment OF
ore from the Veith- Plamenas lease on
the Union No. 9 claim on Gold hill.
w. P. R., Lowell, o. The Goldfeld
a large number of claims and a part in
terest in others, scattered around the
outskirts of the camp. Not a great deal
of work has been lone on any of the
properties and no producers have been
developed among them. A.. l.. Wisner
& Co. made the promotion, and Wisner
is known better as a stock seller than a
mine maker, although the Wisner com
pany has some mines to their credit in
different camps of the country. Their
properties here are not of the best but
the right kind of work might develop a
shipper. We do not think that any of
their claims in this camp has been
worked more than to protect the COM
pany's rights in them.
A. p, Mt. Holly, N. j. The people
you ask about have good business stand
ing in Denver. (2) Hamilton is an old
camp, credited with a large production.
Many of the old camps are being re-
vived as abandoned properties can be
worked nowadays at a profit, because
of improved methods and machinery,
and oftimes, because of new mills and
smelters, or new railroads, that make
their ores marketable. We cannot give
an opinion on this individual property
as it is at a distance and has not beer
brought to our attention before.
J. T. j., Los Angeles. The Florence
Wheeler is a reorganization of the Gold
field Mining and Leasing company. The
company has been working right along
and is now in ore and has made some
shipments. The lease expires in De
cember but we are told that it can be
renewed if the management thinks the
conditions and prospects at that time
warrant further operations. Watch the
news columns of this paper for more de-
tailed information.

Queen company will start up work on
