J. ". b. San rranciseo. The cold.

J. w. B., San Francisco. The Gold
field Commonwealth and the Ramsey
Comstock are both good properties. The
Commonwealth, as you will see IN an
other place in this issue, has male an
important strike. The Ramsey Com
stock is the largest property in the
Ramsey district and is erecting a mill
to treat its W ores. We have had
considerable to say of this latter prop
erty from time to time. in our state
news columns. The Gollfeld Amethyst
owns two claims, the Stormy Night and
Amethyst Goldfeld district. No
great amount of development work
done, and not working now The Con
solidated Nevada Mines Syndicate is
a consolidation of a number of com
panies in various camps and owns an
enormous acreage. Their holdings com
prise lO5 claims of 1000 acres. The
company is not working any of its
GoIdfeld property at present; we have
no exact information on their outside
operations. Both Mr.. Stimler and Mr..
Fenwick, the two local officers of the
company. are out of camp.
C.. p. G., Cleveland. The Florence
Extension company is working two
shifts of five men each on one of the
shafts on the ground. The second
shaft is not working. The first shaft
is down $50 feet. where prosecuting is
being prosecuted. At this point, what
is known as the Rogers east vein was
encountered, and the work of crosseut-
ting for the west vein. which is pro
ducing among the finest ore in the
camp. is now in progress. There was
1000 feet of lateral work done on the
150-foot level, without results. but 1t
now looks as if the rich Rogers vein
might be encountered in the explora-
ton work. The company is Differed by
some of the best mining men in the
camp. including J. r. Davis, b. }.
Reilly, !. s. Cook. Webb Parkisoa, all

T. L. H., Gardner, Mass. J. r. Van
Nagell, assistant state engineer, having
seen our reply to your query regarding
the Sheba G.. s. & NJ. Co.. writes us as
follows: "For your information | will
say that this property is in Humboldt
county. about Is miles south of Mills
CITY and is located at a point where
me OH SIdG titN was WIN ~
toned in Mark Twain's "~Roughing
It." 1t is a silver property and was
worked in olden days and has been
worked more or less ever since. l be-
lieve. however, that in recent years the
stockholders have been assessed In
order to continue operations.
w. F. s., Schenectady. The Manhat-
tan Whale is not being worked at pres
ent nor has it been for several months
because of depleted finances. We are
informed at the office of G. s. johnson
that it is expected that two leasers will
90 to work on the property within a
month, but that the company is not pre-,
pared to work on company account. INT
Whale is a good prospect. 1t is sur
rounded by ground that has shown up
we'll, such as the Stray Dog. There is
a l4O-foot shaft on the property, and
the shaft is in ore, two feet of which is
said to run SIS and four feet $40 per
ton.
T. H. H.. Racine, Wis. Cannot advise
your coming here. There is work tc
be had at the mines here; more prop.
critics are starting up every day; but
whether you obtain work largely de
ponds upon yourself, as to your capa'
bilities, etc. A good man, of steady
habits should have no difficulty in get
ting work in Goldfeld now; and there
is work at the mines for other than ex.
perieneed miners, on top of ground.
M. M, Springfield, Mass. The old
January Jones lease on the Cornishman,
was taken over by G.. s. johnson, who
put it into a company known as the
Florence Consolidated Leasing com
pany. The lease runs six months from
April l. If you have stock in the old
leasing company, you should send 1T to
the new company, care G. S. johnson <
Co., Goldfeld, when stock in the new
company will be exchanged for the old
stock.
z. B., Cleveland. The Mohawk Con.
solidated has forfeited it's lease on the
Mohawk, and permitted it's located
ground to lapse through lack of as
