The strike of high grade ore in the
Kicker lease on the Velvet is rapidly
jeyeloping into one of the big PROPOSE
ions of the camp and if the ore body
aids ont and continues at the same rate
hat II has during the last few days the
ease will prove one of the richest in

n a crosseut at depth of forty feet
md a week ago showed streak vary
ng in width from two inches to two
feet. the values running up to $1,000
and better. The ore body is how six
feet wide and will average better than
400 ton as it is broken down.
The lease is now the property of the
Kansas City Goldfeld Mining company,
md thereby hangs a tale. The Kansas
City people secured an option on the
gound some time ago from Kicker and
bis partners, the price named being
1000. The strike was made few
ours before the option expired and
hnager McClintock of the Kansas City
company promptly took up his option.
II is a case of hard. luck for Kicker,

qircd bonanza for paltry few hun

cate an ore body. The company finally
exhausted it's treasury and the lease
finally passed into the hands of the
Mitchell Fairfield Development com
pany, the consideration being 5000 and
~ per cent of the net earnings for the
Daisy Florence shareholders.
Crosscuts had been driven to the
north and south on the 315-foot level,
the former being out eighty feet from
the shaft and the latter about twenty
feet. 1t was in this south crosscut that
Foreman Roster discovered knife
blade of almost pure gold last Sunday.
He decided to follow this seam and the
first round of shots uncovered the
bonanza. In addition to the nine inches
of very rich stuff there is considerable
good rock on both sides and the ore as
it is being broken down runs better
than $500 ton.

Interest in the oil fields 90 miles
from Goldfeld, continues unabated, and
prospeetors are coming in from sur
rounding states to investigate the
merits of the field. More of the visitors
are from the California oil fields than
from any other section, although others
are coming in from Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado, and points further east.
SO far as known, none Of the experts
that have visited the oil fields, have
reported adversely, while it is known
mat several have made very fattering
reports to their principals. 1t is un-
aerstood that Senator Nixon had the
ground exported for his own use, and
mat the report was favorable. Many
people of means visited the fields from

porting that the evidences OF oil are
very strong, oil appearing on the ropes
and rigging of the well that is now be-

oil which they are exhibiting about the

NEW STAMP MILL FOR HELENA

the incline a few hundred feet further
down the hill has reached depth OF
fifty feet and for thirty-fve feet is in
ore, all of the same amazingly high
grade that first caused mining men
throughout the state to sit up and take
notice.
The ground is being broken for the
fifty-ton mill that is to be erected by
the company. This mill will be In
operation in the spring and will effect
a great saving for both the company
and the leasers who may be extracting
ore from the ground at that time. A
dozen or more leasers are actively work
ing and new strikes are reported almost
daily in the lease territory. The latest
find was body of high grade ore on
block II, under lease to the Smith
brothers. The ore shows free gold and
horn silver and the ledge in which 1t
was found is believed to be the exten-
sion of the big ledge of high grade that
was first encountered in the incline
shaft.

unit of five stamps, which will be in
creased to ten stamps, as soon as the
irst unit is in commission.
The directors authorized the compile
tion of arrangements whereby the Mer-
camille Trust company of San Francisco
will become the transfer agents of the
company. This trust company is also
transfer agent of the Goldicld Con-
solidated.
Altogether, the Mayfower Bullfrog
company's affairs are in the most ex-
cellent condition and promising Of divi-
dends in the not distant future.
Incidentally, it might be said that
the Mayfower Bullfrog property is only
about half f-mile from and ON the same
belt with the Pioneer Bullfrog, which
has opened up what promises to be one
of the great mines of the state.

STAR LEASING COMPANY.

The Goldfcld Star Leasing and Min
ing company, operating on the Lone
Star, is down $50 feet in its vertical
shaft. A station is being cut at that
point and crosscut will be driven to
tap the old incline where some rich
ore was uncovered couple months
ago. The crosscut should enter the
ore in about eighty feet.

Plenty of water for sluieing can be OBJ

POSSESSES FIRST BIBLE

GERMANTOWN, Nov. 9.-Samuel
w. Bradbury, well-known manufact-
urer, residing on West Rittenhouse-
ST., Germantown, has in his posses
sion two copies Of the Bible printed
by Robert Aitken In Philadelphia in
1882. which was the first Bible
printed In this country in the Eng.
lish language, and of which, it Is
thought, not half dozen copies are
still In existence. One of the Bibles
owned by Mr.. Bradbury is the more
remarkable in that 1t Is perfect in ev-
cry particular, not even a portion OF
leaf being missing. 1t is bound In
calf ,witS gold mounting and contains
the Endorsement Of the United States

student Of photography, obtained the
rare old volume some time ago
through answering an advertisement
In local newspaper. For many years
It had lain hidden. though carefully
