Jolly Jane Looks Like a Winner
Although the shaft of the jolly Jane
Mining and Leasing company, which is
1000 feet due north of the Pioneer
lease and on the trend of the same
ledge system, is going down between
the parallel lodges of quartzite and
rhyolite, in a porphyry country rock,
il has shown more consistent and higher
values foot for foot from the surface
down to the 75-foot level, than has any
other shaft in the district, excepting
not even the shaft of the famous
Pioneer lease. The bottom of the shaft
now averages close to SIS, and picked
specimens show assays Of from $40 to
$50. The tale filing which is in the
seams in the rock shows good panning
values in places.
The shaft will be sunk to the 100
foot mark, where cr~osscuts will be run
east and west, to tap the parallel
lodges, which are only so feet away on
each side of the shaft, at the surface,
and the shaft continued downward at
the same time to catch the contact, as
the quartzite ledge dips into the hill
and toward the rhyplite ledge. Two
shifts of men are now at work on the
property and it is regarded as one OF
the most promising in the district.
Another Busy Place
The Stewart lease on the Ophir d'Oro
claim of the Sierra Orc company, to the
southeast of the jolly Jane about 100
yards, has it's shaft down ll5 feet in
low grade ore, and is hosting out rock
little way to the north-of-west from
this shaft, is the shaft of the Barnes
lease on the Jim Dandy, and here an
other hoist is putting away Mostly, and
the shaft has reached a mark of lao
feet. Here the shaft is going down
right in the center of a 60-foot
"streak" of vein matter, all low
grade, and the operators believe that
they will catch the trend of the rich
ore shoot which is being workei In the
Pioneer lease, and which to all indicd-
tions cuts through the hill near the
location of the Jim Dandy. Two hun
bred feet away, on the Jolly Jane
ground, the ledge prominently out
crops, and the Jim Dandy is in direct
line between this outcrop and the
Pioneer lease workings.

a spirit of depression in business-it's
a world wide disease. We here are near
to the heart of things. We are making
the on-going of the world possible, and
while our shafts continue to probe for
the measureless treasure which we have
proved exist about us, and while men
like Wingfeld and the old true spirit
abide with us, Goldfeld shall continue
on the map, and her name and her men
pass into history among the things that
shall not perish"
A Constructive Genius.
A. H. Howe, secretary of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company, paid
a tribue to the constructive genius of
Mr.. Wingfeld. ~ have, been associated
with Mr.. Wingfeld for about four
MONTHS" said Mr.. Howe, "and /
thought that l knew him, but it has re-
NAMED for others to reveal his true
character. l have been trying for some
time to get Mr.. Wingield to come to
Goldfeld to assist men in a great public
duty, the distributing of the Consol-
idated's first dividend of $1,080,000,
but l find that the only thing that
seems to bring him was the offer of
something to eat"
This sally was greeted with laughter,
in which the guest of honor joined.
"Napo.eon was a constructive states
man and builder continued Mr.. Howe.
Wingieid is a constructive citizen,
and this was manifested in the wisdom
of the consolidation of the properties
now included in the Consolidated
mines, which has prevented litigation
that would otherwise nave ensued and
forestalled the successful development
of Goldfeld.'
Lee, cashier of the Nixon National
bank of Reno; Milton NJ. Detch, Au-
gustus Sattler, secretary of the stock
exchange; Richard Colburn, Joe Kalfus,
Lewis H. Rogers, and j. G. Givens, for
the Mining Congress, and Will Hef-
fernan.
Toastmaster Hutchinson paid a trib'
ute to Senator Nixon for his assistance
in securing the session of the Mining
Congress for Goldfeld. He explained
that Senator Nixon is still associated
with Mr.. Wingfeld in many of their en-
terprises, md that because the senator
had sold some of his mining stock, il
| docs nc. indicate that ne is withdraw
ing from the mining game entirely.
Mr.. Wingfield then made a brief part
ing address in which he paid a higl
tribute to Senator Nixon, and said tina
the people should remember that Sen
ator Nixon had more to do with the sue
cess of Goldfeld than any other man
as he checked the panic of October
1907, and was entitled to the credit fol
the salvation of Goldfeld and the whole
state.
The banquet was closed with three
rousing cheers for George Wingfeld
and the b~anqucters dispersed to thu
orchestral strains of "For He's a Joll,
Good Fellow"

government has taken the position that
mining companies cannot GUST squatters
enjoying surface rights upon their
properties, and that the victory of the
settlers is final.
The decision Of the secretary of the
interior will be forwarded to the land
Office at Carson City, which office will
be instructed to issue federal patent to
Judge Theron Stevens, of the district
court, as trustee for the settlers. The
ground will be surveyed according to
the streets as now laid out, after which
notice will be published for sixty days
for all settlers to apply for titles,
which will be made out to Judge Stew
ems as trustee, upon proving ownership.
The final ruling of the department of
the interior affects hundreds of people
whose homes are upon the ground in
volved, and also affects title to about
$40 acres of the city, including $40
acres in the Goldfeld townsite and 120
acres in what is called South Goldfield.

COLDFIELD LOT TITLES
ARE FINALLY SETTLED

General James Donovan, attorney for
many of the settlers in Goldfeld, has
received a telegram from Washington
conveying the information that the
secretary of the interior has denied the
motion to review the Vera and Goldfeld
placer mining locations, and it is prob
able that within a short time the mat
ter will be placed with the district
court and the settlers allowed to OBJ
tain titles from the judge of the dis
trict.
The telegram is as follows:
Washington, April ~27.-James DON

ton review Vera and Goldfeld placer
claims. Congratulations.
(Signed) "SAMUEL HERRICK."
From the decision of the secretary of
the interior there can be no appeal, and

to review the cases, it is plain that the

DRIFTING HAS COMMENCED
ON GOLD ORE LEDGE

The new plant Of machinery on the
Nevada Gold Ore lease on the Gold
Bar is in operation and drifting has
been commenced on the big ledge at
the 600 level. Assays show the presence
of very encouraging values at this
point, and Manager Stills is thoroughly
confident that he will within a short
time open a good body of shipping
grade ore. Developments on the Gold
Bar-Victor vein show conclusive EVIL
dence Of the extensive naturalization
of this territory.

Tex Richard Rushing Operations

Tex Richards lease on the X. X.
claim of the Tobin Brothers, on the
southwest shoulder of Pioneer noun
tain, is one of the busiest places in the
camp. Although this lease has really
been in operation but six weeks, its
big working shaft is down $50 feet, and
a crosscut has gone some 40 feet in the
direction in which the ledge is sup
posed to lie. The property is equipped
with a 25 h. p. gasoline hoist, and a
four-drill compressor. Hand drilling is
too slow for Richard, so down in the
bottom of his workings the power drills
are biting into the rock hungrily, and
three shifts of men are keeping the
property working every minute. AT
night a glare of gasoline arc lamps
shine from the lofty hill top far across
the desert, and makes the scene of OPP
erations at the lease light as day. The
shaft and crosscut are in low grade ore,
and something better should o be
uncovered.
The Gold Hills
The Tobin brothers are sinking a
double compartment working shaft on
the Gold Hills claim, on company ac-
count, about 200 feet to the west of
the Pioneer Leasing company shaft, and
at 10 feet have, uncovered some prom
ising formation which shows small
panning values. The yare working to
catch the cross-vein between the two
big parallel lodges, and indications are
that they will reach something good,
as tn eblock of ground is most promis-
ing.
Much Work on Rogers Lease
The Rogers Pioneer No. ! lease on
the Bi-Metallic No. l claim is a scene
of activity at present, and the huge
gallows frame which has been erected
on top of the hill is a landmark which
is visible from the Tonopah & Tide
water railroad four or five miles before
you arrive at Springdale. The power
plant on this lease will be running
smoothly in a couple of days. In the
meantime, the working shaft is down
1O5 feet, and three shifts of men are
sending it deeper every hour. Cross
cutting will be started at $50 feet,
and with the hosting and other equip
ment which is being worked on the
property it will not take long for the
leasing company to tell what is in its
leasing block at the $50 level. The
shaft will be run down deeper while the
$50 is being explored. Values of So to
SIS are found in the shaft but high

more material worth, let me say that
barking back to those early days-it's
a pleasure to see here tonight many OF

Keane, Lucien Patrick, Milton Detch,
John Donnellan, Harry Bragdon, Tom
Lockhart; and shall 1 not add the
names of Sprague, Hutchinson, Dowlen,

Men all of them, that have given to
Goldfeld the best that is in them; and

Challenges the World.
.sLest to the unre1ecting such talk
seem fulsom, let me say here that to
have builded a city from a desert in
five years; to nave added $4,000, 0OO
to the wealth of the world, to have
made other countless millions possible,
is an achievement that challenges the
world. But let us not take ourselves
too seriously. All this is true, but
these men never think of it-not in this
way-George Wingfeld least of all. To
do the right thing at the right time, to
do it fearlessly, and bide by the results.
to alike accept failure or success with
a smile-that is the spirit in which the
old guard has lived and worked.
