UNCOMFORTABLE G0LDFIELD"
SAYS EASTERN JOURNAL

use vulgarism, from now on it merely
becomes a proposition of collecting his
money. The inside Goldfeld stock,
those that we have often mentioned in
our '.News From the Mines column,
are all decided purchases. Even the
figures reached on the present move
ment do not, in our opinion, express the
true values of these properties, and as
it is now apparent that a large specula-
tive element will again enter into the
field, the heights that will again be
reached by a number of the leading
Goldfelds are rather hard to predict.
To those that made their commit
ments three months ago, the present
range of quotations must be a source
of great satisfaction, and we believe
that they have well learned the lesson
that mining stocks or other securities
are always purchases when they are of
fered with few takers. In other words,
that they should be purchased when the
other fellow wants to sell them.
In our opinion, the outlook for Gold
field shares is good. Stocks in other
Nevada districts are also certainly
bound to gather Roadway and advance
to much higher figures, and with thu
movement that is certain to develop II
copper issues in the near future, people
who follow mining investments have ne
need to worry.

w. Baird and son, Of Goldfeld, have
under construction a handsome frame

II. NJ. Thompson, the Goldfeld jew

A most sensational strike was made

AT THE NORTH END
Considerable work is being done in

the results have been very satisfae-
tory, not only to the individual owners
of the claims upon which good ore has

PHENOMENAL GROWTH
The growth Of the two towns of

Gweenah has several tents boarded,
framed and foored, the ground is be-

GOLDFIELD WILL PLACE
NEVADA IN FIRST RANK

According to the official reports, Ne
yada was the third largest gold pro-
ducing state of the Union in 1907, not
taking Alaska into consideration. Colo
RADIO still retains her lead with nearly
$2l. 600, 900; California comes second
with ST., OOO, 900. But both these states
showed a decrease over the year pre-
vious, while Nevada made a gain OF
IS. OO0, 900. With the same increase
this year, Nevada will jump into first
place. But the increase for 1908 will
be more than $50 900.

sHADYRUN NOW CERTAIN TO
MAKE GOOD ERE LONG

Developments at Shadyrun during
the past week are of such a nature that
it can now be predicted with a GER
tainty that the camp will make good,
saws the Churchill Standard.
A new strike, in which the rock ex-
tracted is literally honeycombed with
free gold, was made the latter part of
last week on the Smith property. 1t is
on the same ledge from which the rich
assays previously reported were OBJ
tanned, but farther mp the canyon. This
ledge can be traced on the surface for
a distance of a mile and a half. A
chunk Of ore from the last strike was
brought into Fallon and placed on ex-
hibition at the Auto Livery company g
garage, and attracted much attention
Cy Hoover, who has property in the
district, has had some of the rock from
his claims assayed, the result of which
has decided him to begin active devel'
opment work. He left yesterday for

Probably there has never been a min
ing camp spring into prominence in the
state of Nevada that is so conveniently
situated from a point of accessibility
as Jessup, a the Jessup News.
Furthermore, the country itself is not
so rugged nor does it present nearly
so many difficulties or hardships as
usually attends the lot of the pioneer
in newly discovered gold camps. Jes-
sup lies in a cluster of low hills having
a brownish iron-stained appearance.
Outside of the dykes which appear
here and there in the formation the
hills, especially from a distance, have
a smooth appearing surface. They are
not difficult to get over, nor does their
formation make the bringing in of sup
plies to carry on work so expensive as
is the case in some rough countries.
To get to Jessup n must take the
main line of the Southern Pacific CON-
PAW and travel to Huxley. The camp
lies about twelve miles almost due
north of this station. At Huxley the
passenger is met by three stage lines
and an automobile, any of which makes
the trip to the camp in a very short
time. The road is neither rough nor
hilly. As the traveller approaches the
camp one is impressed with the general
resemblance it bears to Goldfield; an
other will say it looks like Tonopah,
and still another yet will find some
thing about the appearance OF the
CAM to remind him of Rawhide.
IMPORTANT DEAL PENDING
One of the deals pending in the
camp that is attracting considerable
attention is hat between a party OF
Milwaukee capitalists consisting OF

getting specimen ore, and Dreyer con
tinues to work in a good quality of mill
ore.
DIAMOND QUEEN LEASE
Clisham and Llewellyn have struck
way up stun on their Diamond Queen
lease. The ore is rich in free gold, and
the best of il is estimated to run
s $1,000 a ton. The rich ore occurs in a
four-foot ledge, all of which appears to
be Of good value.
On the Stewart ct al. lease on Bull
frog Mining, an eight inch streak of
high grade has been struck at surface
which shows the glittering yellow gold
in liberal quantities, plastered on the
quartz. The ore is heavily sprinkled
with iron, similar to the high grade at
Hollis lease. Fifteen sacks have been
filed with the best grade and IL sacks
with the second grade, which is be
lieved to be 800 ore. In addition
there is quite a quantity of good mill
rock on the dump. The boys are jubi-
liant over their luck. Work is also be-
ing continued in the tunnel, which is
being run to cut the intersection of
three lodges.
L0CKHART IN FINE ORE
On .he Lockhart lease, which is a
new one, joining Hollis on the north
west. quantities Of very rich specimen
ore is being taken out. During the
past week, % sacks have been filed,
and the ore in several of the sacks is
believed to be Of a dollar-a- pound value.
The gold is spattered over the quartz
while tn" pannings show very coarse
colors. The vein is about three feet in
width. with the rich ore on either wall.
The hole is down only ten feet. the ore

Goldfeld is Incompatible, nothwlth-
standing the side issues that have In
truded upon public attention recently.
Goldtield still continues to maintain its
position as the chief magnet among the
mining camps before the public today,
says the Copper, Curb and Mining Out
look. One does not nave to go far, how
ever. TO seek the reason. One word Will
answer-merit. The daily press has
been RECALLING its readers with reports
of sensational mine discoveries at Gold
field. and when it is remembered that
these discoveries are coming after one
or two weeks resumption of opera
tions, and that as yet a very small pro-
norton of mines in the district are
working, some idea of the real wealth
and Importance of the camp may be
gained. Since the resumption, strikes
of surprising richness have been noted
on the Daisy, ON the Sandstone, on the
two leases of the Florence, the Rogers
Syndicate, the Little Florence, on the
Consolidated, and Of late a rumor IS out
that the Great Bend has scovere
high grade. This surely IS enough 70
encourage anyone. 1t demonstrate
that all that is necessary is work, real
underground work. The present actlv'
ity in the camp is, in our opinion, des,
tined to continue and to broaden until
every property in the known produc'
tive section and a number OF those IN
the prospective section will become pro
ducers and distributors.
Our readers must remember thai
work has recently been resumed on suci
properties as the st. Ives, the Kendall
the Red Hills, the Florence Extension
the Diamondfeld Triangle, the Blu
Rull. the Combination Extension ant
the Kewanas. We are inclined to thinf
that after these properties have beef

will emanate from the camp. I'M

high grade from Smith = claims for the
Western Purchasing company at Reno.
This ore is said to be exceedingly rich,
and the returns from it will be awaited

There are now two saloons at the
camp, and another going in the first of
the coming week. Lumber for a lodg-

Town lots still continue in demand,
