HIGHGRADERS FORCED TO!
GIVE THEIR PLUMBER UP

G. ;. Thomas, chief counsel for the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines ompany,
received a wire this week stating that
the high grade ease tried in Denver had
been decided in favor of the Consol.
dated.
This action was brought for the re-
covery of thirty-four sacks Of ore,
valued in excess of $4,000, alleged to
have been stolen from the storage bins
of the Goldfeld Mohawk. For several
days the ease occupied the attention of
the federal court.
The "a sacks of ore were shipped via
Wells Fargo to a Pueblo smelter by
George Richardson and Frank Cochran
of Goldfeld, who claimed to have mined
it on their own property. The Goldfeld-
Mohawk company, through a suit against
the Well Fargo company, seized the
ore, and Richardson and Cochran imme-
diately interviewed.
As the appearance of the high grade
ore from the Goldfeld district is pretty
much the same, the Goldfeld Mohawk
people relied mostly on a matter of

Earle r. Clemens, publisher of the
Rhyolite Herald, was in Goldfeld this
week, on a short business trip. Speak
ing of conditions in the Bullfrog dis
trict, he said:
considering the warm weather and
the shortage of development funds, the
Bullfrog district is doing nicely. The
Shoshone's shipment of bullion, made
the first of the month, consisted of nine
bricks, estimated to be worth 3 5000.
The original lease on the Diamond
Queen has opened FIVE feet of shipping
ore and is sending out its fourth car
load. The latest strike in this lease is
the best as yet made on the Queen, and
it is believed that this lease has pro-
duced more in smelter returns than any
piece of property in the state for the
amount Of development work accom-
plished.
"Returns on the first shipment from
the Capricorn, sampled in Goldfeld,
went nearly 5000 a ton. Two shoots of

depth of 35 feet, and a new shaft is be-

smell to prove that the ore in question
was the property stolen from their stor-
age bins in Goldfeld.
W. W. Cooper of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank in Pueblo, where the Mo
hawk people store much of their high
grade shipped to-Pueblo to be smelted,
stated that the ore from the Mohawk
usually smcIled like the interior Of a
passenger coach which bad long been
in use and had not been properly ven
tilated. Another expert stated that the
smell was a peculiar smell, more like
dead mice or rats than anything else.
John w. Finch, an expert in the en-
ploy of the Mohawk company, testified
that the ore which is alleged to have
been stolen is of the general appear
ance of other ore of the Mohawk, anil
also said that the ore or The bags in
which it was shipped has the same
smell as the other Mohawk ore. and this
smell, he said, was peculiar to the ore
storage binds of the Mohawk company.
Richardson and Cochran, on the other
hand. insisted that the ore was mined
by them from their own property.

HORNSILvER LEASE HAS
A PROMISING FUTURE

Two blocks of ground on the Silver
King estate in Hornsilver district are
under lease to the Hornsilver Mining
and Leasing company. This property is
being rapidly and thoroughly developed.
From the 110-foot point in the shaft two
crosscuts are being driven toward
known lodges and the workings should
both be in ore in a short time. The
south crosscut is halfway to a point
where a rich shoot of ore was opened
on the surface. The north crosscut Is
being run towards a ledge which was
cut in the shaft and which showed ship
ping values.
This lease is conceded to be one Of the
best in the Hornsilver district and will
doubtless become a heavy producer. Out
of the allotment of $4,000 shares OF
treasury stock the company has a few
thousand shares left, which are being
offered at ten cents. r. l.. Colburn,

One of the strongest points in the
market has been Westinghouse. which
has advanced rapidly on the well au-
thentieated report that the success of
the new financial plan is assured.
In the curb market, Combination
Fraction, MaeNamara and West End
have held the center of the stage. The
buying of Combination Fraction has
been of the best kind. The reports from
Goldfeld leave no doubt in the minds #
the initiated that the new strike in
Combination Fraction is one of vast inn
portanee, and that the stock is apt to 90
to levels considerably higher than those
which now obtain. Two or three weeks
ago, it was suggested in this column
that Combination Fraction would 90 to

than that. The stock has already al.

CANCER CAUSES DEATH
OF LOUIS H. BOND

One of Goldfeld's best known resi-
dents, Louis II. Bond, died at Berkeley,
California, last Monday, after suffering
for many weeks from cancer OF the
stomach. An operation was attempted
several weeks ago, but the surgeons de-
clined to proceed, when they noted the
hopelessness of the case. Nh. Bond,
however, believed that the operation
had been performed and had proven
successful.
The deceased was a man of great
wealth, which was made out of mining
enterprises. He was heavily interested
in Goldield securities and only recently
engaged in partnership with c. F. kapp
of this city in heavy operation in the
Mono Lake oil fields.

whence the water flows into the camp

ply for domestic purposes will be avail
able the first week in August. Imme-
diately the plant is in successful opera
ton its projectors, Messrs. Anderson
and Gundecker, will get busy on their
milling plant. The latter is to be estab-
lished on the fiat south of the TOWNSHIP
and is to have a capacity of 100 tons of
ore per day.
Placer Project
Development of the placer project of
Messrs. Anderson and Gundecker Is
progressing favorably. The shaft is
down better tina 20 feet, the last few
feet of gravel yielding an average of
% cents worth of gold to the pan. Bed
rock has not as yet been reached, how
ever, hence the complete worth of the
ground remains yet to be determined.
That it will be rich is evidenced by a
number of tests recently made. The
latest-a 100-pound sample-gave a
gold content of $40 the cubic yard. The
gravel is to be sluieed by means of
water secured from the mains of the
Rawhide Water & Reduction company.
Coalition in Ore
Ore having a value of from $500 70
800 gold the ton is being mined and
sacked at the Grutt Hill Coalition com
pany's lease on the Wild West claim of
the Rawhide Coalition Mines company.
The lease adjoins the Grutt Hill Mint
c~ompany's holding, and there is no
question but what the lessees are work
ing il a continuation of the same ledge
which is yielding fortune to the Mint
people. From the bottom of the shaft a
erosscut is being driven to connection
with the rich Mint ore shoot. This is
the shoot which dipped out of the Coali-
ton shaft at a depth of so feet.
