The proposed railroad from Ely to
Goldield is directing attention toward
the districts along the proposed route
and especially so to the cluster Of new
camps comprising Golden Arrow, Cliff.
ford and Eden, situated around the
north end of the Kawich mountains
OF these Golden Arrow is the most de-
veloped and from its favorable site is
likely to be the distributing center for
the Kawich country.
The deepest mine, $50 feet deep, in
this section is at Golden Arrow and
has encountered five feet of sulphide
gold ore, averaging $50 per ton. Water
was encountered at a vertical depth of
ply for all purposes.
The oCtter mine shaft is 230 feet
deep with 500 feet of drifts at the 80
and 190-foot levels. A gasoline hoist
will be installed and the erection of a
stamp mill is contemplated. This COM
pany is financed by New York capital
lists and Captain W. G.. Cotter, the
general manager leaves early next
month for New York on company bust
ness.
The Golden Arrow Mining company
has ordered a 25-h.p. hoist and will soon
resume sinking to the 300-foot level.
This property has five shafts from 65
to 10 feet deep on the Page ledge. A
three ton average sample of the mill
ing ore shipped to the sampler returned
$40 per ton in gold and silver.

IMPORTANT MINING DECISIONS

a South Dakota corporation coming
here to do business. It was also found
that Nevada has a law that when, by
the laws of any other state, any greater
obligations are imposed against for
eign corporation, entering such state,
the same obligations, shall be imposed
against corporations of such state en-
tering this state. One of the South Da-
kota provisions is that no foreign cor
poration can IN or maintain any
suit in that state until full compliance
with its requirements.
1t was shown that neither the Liberty
& Justice nor the Granny companies
had done the things in Nevada that
their parent state exacted of a foreign
corporation entering there, and hence
the attorneys argued that the laws of
South Dakota against a Nevada co.,
poration should be enforced against "A
South Dakota corporation here. The
court sustained this contention.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-04-25

The two decisions recently rendered
h, Judge O'Brien of Tonopah, affecting
no status of foreign corporations in
~, state is worthy of more than pass
inc notice. There were two decisions.
The ease came up in the suit of the
Liberty & Justice company, and the
Grsnuy Gold Mining company vs.. the
Manhattan Consolidated Gold Mines
company. involving a conflict of title.
Both Of the plaintiff corporations are
South Dakota companies.
The attorneys for the Consolidated
eomnanv aseertained from the charter
Of plaintiff corporations, that they were
not, in express language, given power
10 DO business as a corporation in South
Dakota. and that, not having authority
10 do business in the state where ere
sted. they could claim no authority to
40 business elsewhere; that having no
LEGAL existence in their home state, they
had no legal existence anywhere. That
a half formed corporation of South Da-
kota, without power to exert corporate
powers in its home state, could migrate
10 Nevada and assert an existence and
status denied to it by it's parent state
was questioned. The court in it's deci-
sion sustained this contention.
Another technical point was raised
BY the Consolidated company, and this
vas also sustained by Judge O'Brien
The attorneys found from examination
isouth Dakota laws, that if a Nevada
aporation sought to do business there,
iEould have to take a number of steps
in Qualifying in addition to steps re-
CURED by laws of Nevada, as against

PLATINUM PARTICLES FOUND
NEAR CAMP ROCKEFELLER

While gold is "the consummation
most devoutly to be wished" prospec-
tors in the Goldfeld section are not
averse to finding platinum, especially
as it's market value is about that of
gold.
At a point one mile south of Rookie
Teller spring east Of Goldfield, on
Stonewall fat, sand of strange appear
anee was recently found. A few ounces
was sent to Simonson' s laboratory in
this city, where tests were made and
the sand was found to contain four
ounces of platinum to the ton, or about
$74.
The owners of the deposit, Messrs
Cockings G. Houlden, are satisfied that
platinum can be developed there in
paying quantities and they will work
the property in practical manner.

and two drifts run. In the north drift
a cross ledge was encountered which

extent that he was almost arrested for
high grading from his own ground
With two sacks of the glittering stuff
under his arm he turned into Nevada

additional six months will be added to

RAWHIDE MINING MAN
TELLS ABOUT THE CAMP

Marvin Arnold is an arrival from
Rawhide. He reports the camp as
looking splendid from a mining stand
point improving day by day.
Fourteen hoists are now in operation
and many more ordered. Mr.. Arnold is
superintendent of the Grutt-Hooligan
Hill Mining company and of the Raw
hide Operating syndicate. John j
Lynch is general manager for both
properties.
Z. A. Leavitt and other wealthy San
Franciscans have financed both COM
p%anies.
The Wonder King Combination Min
ing and Leasing company is pushing
ahead rapidly and getting very high
grade ore from its new shaft.

bought the Sill Osborne lease on the
Queen Bethania, paying $4,000, one-
third of which was cash, the rest to be
paid in thirty days. The lease was the
scene of a strike a few days ago. The
ore averaged across three feet better
than 500 to the ton. This was at
nominal depth. 1t is the intention of
the owners TO sink to depth of $50 feet
Immediately. The Jack Bell lease on
the second block north of the Sill and
Osborne is in ere that takes rank with
anything so far uncovered in the camp
There is a decided ledge fully FIVE feet
across in which the rich seams of por-
phyritic quartz can be broken down
and from which large paintings may be
secured by even the novice. Mr.. Bell
began sinking on a streak less than five
inches wide. 1t has gradually increased
with depth until it is now as many feet
across. The improvements in the values
with depth are relatively the same as
in the widening of the vein. From
trenehing and prospecting in other
sections of the block Mr.. Bell is con-
WINGED that with fifteen feet more of
work he will catch the intersection of
the Queen Bethania ledge, which is
considered the mother lode, with the
cross-issure on which he is operating.
Where these cross assures intersect the
main veins or lodges in this camp the
values always soar skywards. The
values across the entire face of the vein
at a depth of sixteen feet are some
what less than $50 to the ton. The
high grade is being sacked. To the
north of the Bell lease less than 20 feet
away, j. o. Kinney opened up ore a
few days ago, the assays of which went
better than $4,000. This was at a depth
of three feet. The vein is widening in
the same manner as on the Bell, with
depth. To the northwest of the Kinney

DAN CLARK HAS A
PROMISING PROSPECT

One of the promising properties of
Camp Rockefeller, 2S miles east of
Goldfield, is that owned by Dan Clark
Of Goldfeld. He now has what seems
to be a paying proposition in a tunnel
that has been run into the hill about
100 feet.
Assays are now ranging from $38 to
$44 to the ton and it is the opinion Of
all experts who have recently visited
the property that shipping ore will
shortly be encountered.
