The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-09-26

r. T. j., Briggson, Ore. We got our
information from a source that is de
pendable and professed to know, n
we had no reason to doubt it, or look
further into the matter. To what com
pany does the Daybreak claim belong,
and we will investigate on our own
hook. (2) If you will send us the name
of the individual who wrote you, to vent
his spleen, that every inch of space in
this paper is for sale, we will make MN
prove his assertion in a court of law.
The standing of this paper is worth too
much to it's owners to be attacked In
this way. This paper, like all others,
will occasionally make mistakes. There
are thousands of claims in and about
this camp. scattered for miles around,
and it is pretty hard to keep track OF
them all and know what they are doing
from day to day, but we never X
malicious misstatements, and usually
give a man the benefit of the doubt Tor
it is our mission to try to build up the
camp by helping to build up every one
who 10 doing honest work in the camp
1t is equally our business to expose
fakirs and wildcatters, and any and all
kinds of c~rookeduess in the mining
business. and it is the custom of those
exposed in order to minimize attacks,
to charge that the offending paper rs a
.sbIarkmailerv or is subsidized or
can be esbought;D but, this is the hrst
attack of this kind ever made against
The News. that has come to our atten-
ton. and we would be very glad of a
chance to make ou~ accuser eat ms
Words as the saying is, by proving
his assertions in a court of law, and II
YOU will only oblige us with his name
and we are entitled to it, unless you
wish to shield a scoundrel-you Will
send it to us.
E. A. D., shenandoah. The Goldfield
property of the Goldfield Eastern Star
company, is four miles southeast OF
Goldfeld, in a section where very little
work has been done. We do not think
the Eastern Star is doing more work In
this camp thar to keep their properties
alive. This company owns SIX claims IN
the Bullfrog district upon which but
little work has been done. The home
office of the company and the residence
of the directors and other officers are IN
the east and it is difficult to get infor-
nation. The officers are J. w. FOLSOM,
president, H. w. Nissley, vice president,
C. A. Stevens, secretary and treasurer,
and transfer office, Washington, d. G.
(2) The attorneys to whom you wrote
are reputable men, but we have since
learned that they have practically
abandoned their law business and taken
up mining in various outside camps,
which keeps them away.
G. A. D., Salt Lake. Improved eon-
ditions are reported at the Mason Val
ley mine. There the ore reserves are
being steadily increased. Yerington is
making good rapidly and it is UNI
doubtedly one of the great copper
camps of the country. The record of
shipments from the Nevada-D Douglas
has demonstrated what it can do in the
way of high grade ore, but there arc
millions and millions of tons of low
grade ore that need only facilities for
treatment on the ground to effectively
Illustrate that no bigger or better cop
per producing region exists anywhere
in the entire west.
A. B. NJ, I~shpeming, Mich. Manhat-
tan Big Four is a promotion by T. b.
Hickey, president of the defunct State
Bank and Trust company, and asso-
ciates. The property is situated at the
lower end of Main street in Manhattan,
adjacent to some of the producing prop
critics of the camp. 1t was developed
two years ago by a tunnel about 400
feet long, which was abandoned when
the formation fla ened. No values
were ever found in the tunnel although
free gold is visible in surface float.
D. H. B., San Jose, Cal. Adams not
working; will start up soon. (2) Two
leases on Empire working, one of which
is getting good assays. (3) Red Top
Extension being worked by lease owned
by the Mohawk Red Top. a. Bullfrog
Mayfower not working. Property be-
ing examined by eastern capital with
the view to working it. See article on
Mayfower elsewhere in this paper.
r. M, Providence, R. l., and others:
The Stray Dog Manhattan, is again
producing ore. Fifteen men are work
ing on this property and as the ore is
hoisted it is taken to the Peterson mill
and being treated. The operations at
present are confined to stopping on the
100-foot level and driving a drift from
the 200-foot level.
j. p, Los Angeles. Golden Pick is
the only lease on Silver Pick ground
that is now being operated. The lease
hold is on the Pipe Dream claim and
adjoins the company workings on the
west. There are several other leases
