G. w, Milwaukee, and many others:

~ W. 8AA~~s eA1 1885,
The Nevada Goldfcld Leasing company
is preparing to start two leases, one the
Gold Bar lease and the other the Jumbo
Extension lease, near Diamondfield. The
Cold Bar shaft Is down 210 feet and will
be sunk to $50 feet, when a crosscut will
be run to the Victor ground, where ex-
%ccllent ore was found at the time of the
hut down incident to the strike. The
Jumbo Extension lease is down 100 feet
and will be sunk Ia the $50 point when
prosecuting will begin for the Daisy
ledge, which apparently goes through
this l~easehold. The Nevada Goldfeld
Lease company does not own the lease
on the Combination Fraction. 1t was so
announced from the company Office. 1t
seems that Mr.. Vickers had a "call'
upon the lease, but finally considered
the terms ''too expensive as he says,
and permitted his option to expire. The
lease was afterward taken up by the
Little Florence company. The Nevada
Goldfeid Lease company has about
$4,000 in the treasury and $4,000
worth of machinery in addition.
A. !. p, Chicago: You are not the
only enc fieeeed by r. L. Bernier. We
have 81 score of letters from people who
bought Nevada Goldfeld lease stock
! from him, who claim that they neither
got the stock or receipt for their money.
Bernier is now in Los Angeles, and
should be brought to terms. George
Viekers, of the Nevada Goldfcld com-
pany states that he is not in any way
responsible for the populations of Der
nier. Bernier was acting as a promoter
in Chicago. Vickers claims that he sent
stock to the bank in Chicago with draft
attached. Then Bernier took up the
stock rs fast as he got n purchaser for
same. In other words, he sold the
stock to Bernier, and is not responsible
for any of Bernier's transactions with
his customers.
J. T. j., Los Angeles. Florence Leas-
ing and Mining stock f%uctuates with
condition of lease from time to time. At
times good ore is opened up, and the
stock goes flying, for it is believed that
when this lease does get a substantial
body, it will be rich; but so far the
strikes have proven Elusive. the ore not
holding out. The Consolidated thinks
it good business to wait until its mill is
completed before resuming heavy pro-
duction, thereby saving heavy freight
and shipment charges. Business is get
ting better in Goldfeld.
j. H. R., Williamsport, Pa. The Com
bination Florence NJ. & l.. Co. forfeited
its lease, and the lease has been taken
over by another company, and work is
being vigorously pushed. The new com
pany will protect the stockholders of
the old company, who actually bought
and paid for their stock, although it is
not legally bound so to do. The new
company is in process of organizing,
and as soon as the papers are filed and
stock is ready to be issued, holders of
treasury stock in the old company will
receive share for share in exchange.
G. A. A., Syracuse, N. Y. Any man
with knowledge of geology and mineral
ogy has a good chance respecting in
Nevada. 1t s a field of wonderful min
eral possibilities. New discoveries in
different parts of the state are being
made every day and new camps are
springing up almost weekly. Can't
guarantee that you would find work or
employment as it depends upon yourself,
largely, but the state is big enough for
10000 more prospectors.
G. p, Elmhurst, N. Y. The Florence
Consolidated has struck some good ore
and nave made some small shipments.
They are making great claims for the
lease and promise big things. Time
alone will tell whether they will ma
terialize. The Goldfeld Lucky Boys is
a good property, and recent develop
ments in the immediate neighborhood,
indicate that the ground has prospects
of getting good ore bodies.
j. M. O'G., Duluth. No work done so
far this year on the properties of the
Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines com
pany. The Wisner people are better
stock sellers than mine makers, al
though they have two or three mines in
different parts of the country. They
did all the annual work required by law
to protect their Manhattan property
last year.
M. E., Albany. The Baby Florence is
again at work after a shutdown of sew
eral months. The lease has been in
operation about three months on this
last stretch. The ground is excellcntly
situated in the heart of producing
ground.
B. M, Hancock, Md. We have a wire
in answer to a letter we sent to the Ma
tional Brokerage company, complaining
of their methods, stating that they were
returning all money received on the
Happy Hooligan subscription which
they advertised in The News.
E. P. j., Brooklyn, N. Y. Nothing of
CONSEQUENCE being done on the CITY of
Goldfeld property. Suit over title has
not yet been decided.
