GUNTHER's sPLENETIC ATTACK
ON THE MoNTGoMERY-sHosHoNE

The Financial World, published by
Lewis Gunther, Chicago, which
prints any mining news but that which
reflects in%juriously on the mining bust
ness, printed the following, in it's last
weeks edition, concerning the Mont
gomery-Shoshone:
s'Certain schemers, who have ac-
ouired considerable stock of this min
ing at prices far below one
dollar. are now trying to make a mar
ket for their holdings, and circulate
stories of rich veins that have recently
been discovered and of which they say
will soon discredit all the dire predic-
tions made regarding the future OF tins
mine.
"The Shoshone, capital
lied with 81, 100000, consisting of 5Oo,-
900 shares of a par value of 50 each,
was, at the time the company was pro
noted, proclaimed as one of the great
est mining properties of Nevada. Elk
ageerations of the value of the mines
and the connection of Charles Schwab
as director of the company created an
enormous speculation in the stock,
which went up as high as 1923 a share,
or almost five times its par value. A
few months after expert miners declared
that the property was almost worthless
and the stock dropped to 70 cents a
share. In view of the reports of the
EXPERTS. which led to a total collapse in
the price of the stock, it is hard to be-
lieye that the present efforts of parties
who are trying to work the scheme over
again will succeed
Gunther does not seem to take into
consideration that the physical eondl-
tion of a mine may change from time to
time. Because an expert at one time
reported that the Montgomery Shoshone
was practically out of ore, it means to
him that it must be forever played out;
and now that it is in ore again and has
big reserves and is evideneing this fact
in large monthly bullion returns from
the mill, he says the publication of the
fact is the effort of Certain schem-
ers,' to boost the price so that they can
unload. All of which goes to show the
narrow prejudice of the average east
ern financial writer against mining and
mining stocks.

REBUILDING OF RAwHIDE
INSPIRES AN EDITORIAL

Ii is only about two weeks ago that
the news Of the country, and the
Record, as well as other papers, in
commenting on the fire, stated its belief
that Rawhide would eventually rise out
of it's ashes and would be built into a
more lasting and more substantial com
munity, says the Denver Mining
Record. Within twenty-four hours
after the starting of the fire, impro-
vised stores had been opened and
orders had been sent to Reno and other
points for new material for construc-
ton. The initial orders for one million
together with other large quantities of
building material, We're Immediately
placed. The mining and reduction com
panies have pressed their wagons and
horses into service for the hauling of
these materials.
At the same time, the camp is putting
forth its usual efforts in the develop
ment of properties and the shipment
and treatment of ore, so that before the
first of the year, the district undoubt-
edly will be on a much better basis thar
it has ever beer before. These facts
speak well both for Rawhide and for
the other Nevada camps, which un
stintingly came to the relief of the
burned district. 1t is to the credit of
the district that it is so rapidly recov-
ering from its loss, and that the work
in it's mines has witnessed no recession
on account of the fire. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Rawhide is less thar
a year old, it has passed through enough
to give it a place as a veteran among
the mining districts.

ARROW BECOMING
A VERY LIVELY CAMP

J. j. Cochrane of Tonopah returned
Yesterday from Golden Arrow, where he
has been on business connected with
the Calavada group, in which he is in
terested, says the Bonanza. He reports
that the company now has a shaft down
eighty feet, and that the ore ~prospeeted
from the grass roots. The ore now
$50 a ton. The vein is in por-
phyry and rhyolite, and averages eight
feet in width.
Parker and Snyder made a shipment
of forty-fve tons to the Halves canyon
mill recently which gave good returns,
and they are now getting ready for an
other shipment.
1.-THE claim at Silver Bow, ten miles
from the Calavada, is also shipping to
the HAYES anyon mill, which has been
repaired and put into shape for hand
ling of custom work.
"Ward and Mclaughlin of Golden

SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT IS
CERTAIN TO BE A WINNER

Vernon, to ID. r. Oliver, of San Fran
cisco, for $1,000. The price the syndi-
cate is said to be paying is 81 1000. Mr..
Oliver recently purchased the Farrell
townsite. He is in~augurating an active
promotion of the TOWNSHIP and has
promised to have water piped into the
town from Stonehouse canyon within
sixty days.
Lease Developments
Somewhat of a record is being made
in the development Of the Cleghorn
leases on the estates Of the Signal Peak
and the Consolidated mining companies,
which, while held by two separate leas-
ing companies, are being operated as
one block. And conditions that prevail
on each of the Cleghorn leases make il
clear that they will give a good account
of themselves as producers in the near
future.
Finds Good Ledge
Tommy Powell has opened up a
three-foot vein of quartz and spar that
shows an average clear across Of $40 a
ton on the American Eagle claim near
Farrell. He has started a tunnel that
will give a depth on the vein of two
hundred feet in two hundred feet of
drifting.
Leasers Make Discovery
While re-examining their upper work
ings a few days ago where a hundred
and forty-foot tunnel follows a north
and south vein along the basalt dyke
into the hill, Messrs. George and Eng
fish made the startling discovery that
the great porphyry dyke that abuts
the basalt at the mouth of the mp
per tunnel is nothing less than a mighty
mass of high class milling ore and from
all present appearances one of the most
remarkable bodies of milling ore in the
district. In pursuit of small high grade
stringers, by one of those peculiar turns
of fortune characteristic of mining, the
~lessees more than a year ago had run
their tunnel for forty or fifty feet along
the porphyry, using it as one of the
walls of the tunnel without suspecting
that therein lay far greater possibilities
than they could ever hope to find in a
dozen high grade veins such as they
were following. The very magnitude of
the porphyry mass had deceived them
and prevented them examining its con-
tents.
The people of the town of Seven
Troughs were thrown into the throes
Of great excitement last Sunday as a.
result Of what appears to be one of the
most important ore discoveries in the
district for half a year. From the bot
tom of it's seventy-fve foot shaft, the
Seven Troughs Merger Mining COM
pany, operating the Merger lease on the
Therien estate, broke into a strong vein
containing a foot of high grade ore,
much of which is picture rock. The dis
covery occurred when the contractors,
who are driving the crosscut, returned
to work and found the drift half full Of
quartz that had been shot out by the
round of shots fred the previous even
ing, much of which rock shows free
gold to the naked eye.

RICH ORE FROM I D

From the old Centennial at Ida the
Butte Boys Consolidated is shipping ore
that runs almost into the pictures, and
Manager G.. w. Bever is now going
after a record in making shipments that
will startle the camp of Ida. Manager
Bever is going to increase the present
force of two shifts to a number that
will permit him to get out twenty tons
a day. The ore will be shipped via
Cuprite, reducing the wagon haul from
81 to Is miles and facilitating the de-
livery at the sampler in Goldfeld.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-10-03

Great interest centers in the present
operations at the Seven Troughs mine.
the famous and widely known property
of the Seven Troughs Mining COMPANY.
near Vernon. The shaft having gained
a depth Of seven hundred and fifty feet.
prosecuting is now underway to the
various lodges, which, on the FIVE hun
dred foot and above levels, are giving
up such p~henomenally rich ore as to at
tract the attention of the entire mining
world to this district, SAYS the Seven
Troughs Miner.
The crosscut has just been started
and it is estimated that from forty to
fifty feet of work will be re9rired to
penetrate the vein system. However,
it may be a greater distance away from
the shaft should the dip of the lodges
change between the FIVE hundred foot
and the deeper level.
The sinking of the shaft of this
proven great mine to the seven hun
dred and fifty-foot level and the cross
cutting to the vein system at that depth
is only part of a plan of deep mining
operations. As has been stated before
in these columns, the program of the
management calls for the sinking of the
shaft to the one thousand foot level.
Therefore, sinking operations will be
resumed Immediately upon the compile
tion of the erosscut on the seven hun
dred and fifty foot level.
The plans of the company also in
clude the erection of a mill of at least
ten stamps at the property this fall.
Ample water for such a plant, as a mat
ter of fact, a mill of much greater size
than at present proposed, is assured. A
large flow of water was some time ago
developed oil nearby ground belonging
to the company, and this volume will be
materially increased from the great
flow that can be tapped in the mine,
when it is desired.
IN an lhttiNitW WniCH ItCtHtty dp
peared in the Tribune of Salt Lake
City, L. A. Friedman, general manager
and one of the principal owners of the
mine, while stopping in that city en-
route to the east, said:
cit is the lessons we nave learned in
the past that furnish us the basis for
conclusions regarding the future, and
with experience in the property of the
Seven Troughs Mining company to
guide us, l feel safe in predicting that
we will find ore, and plenty of ore, with
depth in this property. The formation
is solid and promising from the five
hundred foot level to the bottom of the
shaft, now seven hundred and fifty feet
down, and throughout the depth we
have tapped numerous assures of ore
leading off towards the main veins de-
veloped above

LEADERS OPPOSE HUGHES
corteiyou or Wadsworth for Governor
of New York.

New York, Aug. 19.-For governor
George Bruce Cortelyou or James
Wadsworth, Jr. These names, accord
ing to an article published in the
Evening Telegram, are on the New
York gubernatorial slate. 1t is the
intention, according to the statement,
to relieve Governor Hughes of the re-
sponsibility of again becoming a can
didate and the party leaders are said
to have declared their purpose.
The informant of the Evening Tele-
gram says 1t is the wish of President
Roosevelt that the secretary OF the
treasury become governor OF New
York, although it is his further opin-
ion that the state can be carried this
fall by any good Republican without
any serious injury to Mr.. Taft.
II is pointed out further that Mr
Taft is not averse to the nomination
of Mr.. Hughes, but, according to the
story as printed, the president is OF
the opinion that the nomination OF
Governor Hughes will be destructive
to the machinery of the Republican
organization as it now stands.
