The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-06-13

J. T. g., Heron Lake, MINI. The
Crescent Searchlight Gold Mining com
PAW is a rank fake, or at least the pro-
moters of the company are rank fakirs
and their work is of the rawest kind.
Having no originality themselves, they
copied a special design of another com
panv. used ON letterheads and in ad-
vcrtising, and copied their advertising
matter so that the two companies, from
appearances, at least, would appear to
be one and the same. /. j. Woodwork
is the promoter of two companies al
Searchlight. one the Golden Crescent
Mining company and the other, the
Searchlight Gold Extraction company
Both of these are clean propositions
Mr.. Woodwork has original ideas
about advertising and the manner IN
which this matter is "put up Tie
adopted a special design of a crescent
on a scroll background, which he used
as a trade mark. He published a pro-
motion paper on his companies, for IN
formation of his stockholders. On the
back he printed a facsimile of his stock
certificate. with the crescent and seal
in gold. The fakirs, who put out the
Crescent S~earchlight company, home Of
fee Oshkosh. Wis, by the way, discov-
cred where Woodwork had his printing
done, and Travelled about 1,500 miles to
get their printing done at the same
place. They stole every idea used by
/ Woodwork, and induced the printers
to reproduce Mr.. Woodwork special
designs, substituting their W com
pany name, even to the newspaper and
stock certificate with the gold crescent,
etc. 1t was rank plagiarism through
out, and a scoundrely act, and was so
thoroughly exposed at the time, that 1T
put the fakirs out of business. We do
not know as much about the property,
as we do about the promoters, but as
the latter are dishonest in their meth
DDS, it is fair to assume that their prop
erty is either a myth or a wildcat. You
can risk every cent you have that they
haven't a "million dollars worth of ore
blocked out as they claim.
L. G. G., San Francisco. Regarding
the lease of the Nevada GoldfeId Leas-
ing company, Mr.. Vickers informs us
that he will have everything ready by
another week to start up the lease on
the Gold Bar and the lease on the
Jumbo Extension at D~iamondfeld. (2)
There was a discovery of ore made in
the Florence Elk. but it proved to be
but a narrow vein. The company is
now working from the Rosebud shaft,
which lies a short distance to the north.
This shaft is down 500 feet, and the
Florence Elk. is driving a drift from
the bottom of the shaft into the Flor
ence Elk. ground, to connect with the
]atter's shaft and cut the vein above
at depth. Only a short distance re-
mains before connection will be made
with the shaft. The Florence Elk. seems
almost certain to get the Rogers ore,
provided, of course, the ore shoot does
cut off all at once at the line.
G.. p, Los Angeles. The affairs of
the Mohawk Annex seem to be in hope
less tangle. j. G. Kind & Co., the fiscal
agents, it is charged, oversold and over
issued the stock when it was first put
Later local holders of the stock
held a meeting and for a time it looked
as if it was to be made hot for Kind.
The latter disappeared and further eff
forts of stockholders ceased. The COM
eany owns the Evening Star claim, of
about six acres. The ground is not
"located between the Silver Pick and
but lies between the Gold
field Esmeralda and the West Mohawk
and south of the Silver Pick Extension.
There was a shaft sunk on the ground,
100 feet in depth, but disclosed moth
ing of value.
c. j. D., Evansville, Ind. We have
received more information about the
Austin Manhattan, of which you asked
last week. Property is at Austin an.
may be all right, but we don't like the
party behind it, c.. f. Meisse, Chicago.
This party operated in Cripple Creek
and put out two companies both of
were failures, if not fakes. The
same may be said of the Penn Idaho.
The Penn Wyoming was a failure under
his management, but afterward won
.ut. The Octave Of Arizona, was also
a failure. We are told that Mcisse
/. leaves a path of grief behind him
and are warned to watch him. His
claim that the Austin Manhattan was
than the Goldfeld Consolidated,
is enough to condemn him.
@. M. B., Chicago. Cannot give you
encouraging news about the Goldfeid
Reliance. That company has two pat
cnted claims beside other ground in
this district, we understand, but moth
ing is being done toward development
of the property, all work seeming to be
designed for patent purposes. The
firm YOU speak of seems to be very
