The Nighthawk Lease In Favor.
Mr.. w. z. Norcross, one of the best
known mining men of Goldfield, when
he learned that George w. Bever,
manager Of the Butte Boys and presi-
dent of the Florence Central during its
existence. had secured the two-years'
lease OF the Nighthawk, under date
of June 8, wrote that gentleman as
follows:
Goldfield, New, June 3.-Mr.
George W. Bever, manager Butte Boys
Consolidated Mining company.-Dear
Sir: Allow mSfo congratulate you on
the requirement of the two Florence
leases, also the Nighthawk. 1t was
the leasers who made Goldfield, and
the amount of work planned by you
and other leasers, means a new and
greater Goldfield. AS regards your
properties, an examination of the
leasing map of this camp, and a glance
into the history of the leases will tell
the prospects of your Florence lease.
Florence and Florence Annex have
practically proven your ground. Your
Nighthawk lease. with sufficient de-
velopment, should show the northern
extension OF at least one PROVEN
vein. The Mushett lease below you.
on the Laguna, has moved the north
ern boundary of the high-grade dis
trict some distance. and it only re-
quires scientific mining to move. it still
more.
With kindest regards and best
wishes for the success of the Butte
Boys and its manager. l remain very
truly yours,
w. E. NORCRoss.
Our Florence Lease Adioins the Won
derful Little Florence
On all sides are those properties
that have made millions for their own
ers, and ours we most firmly believe.
will do as we'll for all who have, or
shall, place money in its stock. With
in a short time We shall have a plat
made of our ground, so that we can
picture the location of the properties
more intelligently than can be done in
words. but we must say that our sec
ond Florence lease adjoins our first.
and is every whit as valuable. We
believe we have in those two proper
ties the making of many fortunes, but
yet they are but an infinitesimal part
OF the whole.
Every Inch of Our Ground Is Good
Whether it be the Butte Boys, the
claims at Silver Peak, (Which we are
confident will nroduce fortunes also
and that not be many months hence),
whether 1t be the Hart ground, Sc
cured by our Mr.. Bever when that
camp was first discovered, or whether
it be the Nighthawk lease or the claim
abutting the Butte Boys ground. Each
claim will yet be an acknowledged
jewel, and those who then own shares
in them will heartily confess that
these predictions were not i'll advised
nor untimely words.
The Consolidation of All Interests of
the Butte Boys and Florence Cen
tral, and Extinction Of the Last Cor
poration, VIII Enable Us to Center
All Our Energies on the One and
Only Important Problem of Produc-
ing Gold.
There will be no divided interests
hereafter and though our greatest eff
forts will for the present be directed
to rushing work on the leases, espe-
cially the two on the Florence, we
shall not neglect the Butte Boys. We
shall keep things moving at all these
points, as well as at Hart and Silver,
Peak. But as explained in the stock
holders meeting, opening all these
