BIG MINING DEAL
IN BULLFROG

The Conservative lode claim of the
Gold Hills Mining company has been
sold to the biggest united mining enter
prise in Nevada-D. R. G. Brown and
George Wingfeld. The fobin brothers
were the holders of the control of the
property in the transaction. The Cou-
servative is in the very heart of the
Pioneer mineral belt and is probably,
with the exception of the Pioneer hi
metallic claim, the richest piece of
ground in the Bullfrog district yet de-
veloped.
Brown and Wingfeld, in this deal,
are entering upon their first joint en-
terprise, and they make team for any
community to tie to. Unlimited capi-
tai, unbounded experience and proven
mining genius are all contained in this
invasion of Bullfrog. The purchasers
were after a mine and they are wei
satisked with their buy.
The consideration is not stated, nor
are all of the details of the deal, it is
thought, made public. Brown and
Wingfeld are the new lords of Con-
servation, and every one of interest
seems jubilant .-Bullfrog Miner.

NATIONAL LEADS IN
BULLION TAX

According to the bullion tax report
of Assessor Leonard for the quarter
ending March 3lst, National paid more
bullion tax for the three months than
all the other camps of the county COM
bined. But one National shipment was
made prior to the first of April, up
on which t215 was collected in taxes.
Seven Troughs comes second, with
an aggregate of $50. This small show
ing was owing to the fact that the
largest mill in the district did not
handle pound Of ore during the three
months.
At Chafey 1000 tons Of ore were
handled, which showed an average
value of $l6.5O per ton.

II. POWELL BUYS
RUBY" GROUP

One of the most important mining
deals in the history of Humboldt coun-
ty is now under way and only awaits
the signature of one of the grantees to
complete the transaction.
According to the terms of the agree
ment. for consideration of $4,000,
Hassall Powell secures from G. w.
Case, F. M. Case, F. E. Chagnon and 8.
G. Lamb an option on the "Ruby"
group of seven claims, the "Skidoo"
and the "Gracie."
The property is situated 12 miles
west Of Golconda, near Dutch Flat. As
saws made last week of ore from the
mine showed values in gold and silver
of about $3.50 per ton, the gold pre-
dominating. Mr.. Powell will put a
force of men at work within a few
days developing the property, and it
is probable that for the present ar
rangements will be made with the Glas-
gov. Western people at Goleonda to
handle the ores.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-As a re-
suit of several conferences the Inter
state Commerce commission today an
nounced a postponement from June
to July l in what is known as the
"Spokane rate case' A further hear.
ing of the case will be had on June 9.
The commission had recently post
poned until June ] the time when the
new rates ordered by it should go into
effect, but as the result of conferences
within the last few days with the rep
resentatiesv of the Hill and Hartman
lines, is was today decided further to
postpone the operations of the order un-
til July /.
The railroads involved, the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern, the Union
Pacific, the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
tion company, the Oregon Short Line
and the Chicago & Northwestern, were
today notified of the decision and also
of the assignment of the case for hear
ing on June 8.
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1909-05-18

The railroads will, on July l, put into
effect, in accordance with the decision
of the commission what are known as
"class rates from Pacific coast points
to Spokane, which are 16 2-3 per cent
lower than the present rate. They also
will put into effect at that time the
commodity rates from the east to Spo-
kane, which is much lower than the
present rates, but not as low in proper
tion as those ordered by the commits
sion.
Commissioner Prouty stated today
that the commission had declined to ex-
press any opinion either way as to the
reasonableness of the reductions in the
rates from the Pacific coast and in the
commodity rates from the east to Spo-
kane, that question having been de-
ferred for future consideration.
The purpose of the proposed hearing
is to allow any possible objection that
may be made to the fling of the rates
on "short notice.

A GOOD MINING OPPORTUNITY,

A company of mining men, with some
capital, can secure a good lease, or lease
and bond, on group of mining claims,
consisting of five claims, all surveyed,
blacksmith shop, tools, etc., ready for
working. All that is necessary is brains
and some capital for development pur-
poses.
The company is organized, and
stock ready for issuing. 1t is very sell
dom an opportunity of this kind is on
the market, as these claims possess
good ores-gold, silver and lead, and
are located just above the new West
ern Pacific railroad, as well as the
Southern Pacific railroad is only short
distance, making transportation of ores
to the reduction plants and smelters
very reasonable.
A new gold strike has been made in
the double compartment shaft Of it's
neighbor. For examination of ores
and full information regarding leases,
bond and terms, call on the under
signed, 1t will pay parties who mean
business to look into this matter at
once.

THIS WEEK

g. N. Schallenberger, who has been
spending some weeks visiting his
daughter, Mrs. C. w. Muller, and Hum.

Redlands home during the week.
Our citizens have an apparently well

agent for Southern California. While
they are always glad to meet their
genial old neighbor, many fear that un-
less he takes his departure soon, seri-
