CONTROL OF GREAT WESTERN
HAS NOT BEEN PASSED

NoRttAut 00Aa
Hornsilver. Sept. 1.-Coineident with
the return of Manager James Russell,
of the Great Western, appeared a report
that it was reported" that negotia-
tions had been pending for the transfer
of the Great Western to Utah capital
lists, and were almost eonsummated. Mr..
Russell reached town Wednesday and
stated positively that he would know
property is being sold, according to
Dame Rumor. about as often as the
Combination Fraction is being taken
over by the Consolidated. Meanwhile
the work on the property continues to
90 on with the same definite intention
of a careful, systematic development
that will, with time, put it in the fore
rank of the states producers. Another
shipment left for Goldfeld Friday, and
the bins are again receiving the nucleus
of another shipment. This ore is COM
ing from the Slope in the west drift
on the 200-foot level, and from the east
drift on that level, where the develop
ment work is being vigorously con
tinued.
While the Hornsilver district was
"Born a shipper'-it has heretofore
been restricted to one shipper, and that
the Western. But according to present
Indications this condition of affairs will
not long continue. During the past
week the Barber lease on the Grand
Central and w. c. Cottrell on the Ar
gentle have sent in shipments, while
the Ingram lease on Lime Point No. 3
is expecting to send out a carload of
rock this coming week. Local assay
returns show high values in all of these
consignments, and while the ore from
the Barber and Cottrell properties are
more or less in the nature of test ship
ments, there is exposed and blocked out
sufficient quantities of it to more than
meet all costs of operation when regu-
lar shipments are instituted. There is
to be included in this list of shippers
the Frances Lime Point, which will
bring the total up to five. When one
comes to consider the conditions under
which those working on leases have
been operating, the marked quietness of
the money market and the extreme diff
fculty in securing any assistance, this
record is not half bad. 1t can truly be
said that practically every leaser has
been working on his own money, con
tinuing in the face of unfavorable con-
ditions and upheld by their faith in
their properties. And if they shall
meet with the greatest success after
trials, no one will begrudge it to them.
1t is success of this kind that makes
everyone feel good.
The Barber lease on block l6 of the
Grand Central has been consolidated
with that of Croxton and Doll on block
II; these claims end line and the rich
VEIN uncovered on tHe DdIpcI SiouhV ~
traceable through both of them. A
shaft has been sunk so feet at a point
rs feet from the end line, a within is tc
be installed and an additional depth of
so feet attained; a station will then be
cut and preparations made for regular
shipments. A ton of ore from this
ground was brought to Goldfeld by
Harry Doll for a trial test. Local as
saws gave returns of $363.7O.
The Ingram lease crosscut- at the 10
foot point in the shaft and picked up
the vein within eight feet from the
shaft. They are preparing to get ont
a carload of ore, and as the values arc
running good, { very substantial check
10 looked for.
