own money in expectation of cutting
the tale ledge of the Shoshone Consol-

feet. The Elkhorn property is in pro

it is expected that within the next so

available AT the present time in the

R. s. T., Los Angeles. Tine annual
meeting Of the Hayseed Mining com-
pany of the Lee district, held at Rhyo-
lite. resulted in the election of the fol
lowing directors for the ensuing year:
S. +. Lindsay, j. p. Nelson, s. J. Hern-
stadt, A. L. Lidwell. p. A. Busch, Clay
Tallman and T. A. Fleming. The report
of j. p. Nelson, general manager,
showed that work had been started a
year ago, at the time the company was
organized. and that to date LOO feet
of development work had bcen accom-
plished. An incline shaft has been
sunk 325 feet. On the 100-foot level.
1876 feet of drifting and 80 feet of
ore is present in two shoots on this
level, says the report, one of the shoots
being about 800 feet in length and the
other about 40 feet in length. The
crosscut east from the 100 level eat two
veins of mill ore which do not show on
the surface.
j. R., Spencer, idaho. No work is
being done on the Old Kaintuck, but
the people who are so mistakenly advis-
ing purchase of its stock, say that work
Will be started up soon. No ore to
speak of has ever been found in the
neighborhood of the property, but her
no serious work has ever been done in
that section. One or two leases are at
work on the Lone Star ground to the
south and east of the Old Kaintuck.
If the management were to work the
property, the stock might be worth
something, but otherwise not. and this
might be said of the stock of any com
pany. We can see no reason why the
stock should advance, unless it be
through manipulation. (2) The Round
Mountain Central lies close enough in
to the producing section of the camp
to give it merit. We cannot state what
work has been done. but it is under
stood the property is working. (3) The
brokerage company rates well in Gold
field. Would refer you to Cook bank
for their financial standing.
R. L. M, New York. Operations are
being continued at both the Furnace
Creek and the Death Valley Copper
properties at G~reenwatcr. The latter
will reach the 1,0OO-foot point in the
shaft within a few days, when lateral
work will be started. The Furnace
Creek is now down 500 feet and will
sink to the ~l,500-foot level before any
company has just installed a 60-horse
power hosting plant, and is prepared
for deep mining.
T. NICK, Butler, Pa. The Goldfeid
Lucky Boys company owns two claims,
one and onc-half miles from the town
of Goldfeld. adjoining the Lone Star
group on the northwest. The officers
are J. C. Royle, president; +. w. Davis,
vice president; G.. w. Murray, secrc-
tary; r. +. Robertson. treasurer.
T. F., Battle Creek. Mich. There are
fifty sets of leasers- working in the
Seven Troughs district, most of which
are mining ore. The camp has two
mills in commission which are said to
be working satisfactorily and others
are projected. These facts speak high
~ for the camp, which is unqucstion-
ably one of unusual merit.
