ST. IVES LEASING TAKES
UP FINE GROUP OF CLAIMS

A splendid group of six claims has
recently been secured by the st. Ives
Leasing company, by location, which
will form a permanent and valuable as
set Of the company. The claims, now
called the Potlatch group, are in the
Washington mining district, on the
East Walker river, in Esmeralda county,
and were acquired by location on
January LIST.
President A. A. Codd and Superin-
tendent j. X. Sears of the st. Ives COM
pany availed themselves of the oppor
tunity opened by the failure of the
owners to do the annual assessment
work. and located them for the st. Ives
The claims are on the same
mineral bel. as the famous Lucky Boy
and Bodie mines, which have produced
millions Of dollars. 1t is a silver lead
proposition, and especially adapted to
concentration Assays show values
ranging from Is to $55 in gold and
silver, With the white metal predominant
ing. The property is about n and
ons-half niles east Of the river, where

year round to furnish 200-horse power
if necessary.
This property was bonded to some
San Francisco capitalists two years ago
for $4,000, and a payment of $4,000
was made down. The financial troubles
came on and the parties who held the
bond were unable to make the further
payments as they came due. During
the past two years no further work was
done, and the claims became open to
location. President Codd Of the st
Ives company says that he would not
accept 5000 cash for the property,
and believes it will make a big mine.
1t is planned to place enough treas
ury stock on the market to raise 10000
to install an electric power plant ss
the river, and a concentrating plant
and compressed air plant for power
drills at the mine.
The st. Ives leases at Goldfeld AMI
Rawhide are both looking favorable, and
Mr.. Codd feels that the future Of tine
company is now brighter than ever.
The Rawhide lease has been extended
until January, 1911, and the royalty
reduced. 49,

RICH ORE FROM
JOHNNIE MINE

A. d. Myers, president and manage:
of the Johnnie Mining and Milling COM
pany, is in Goldfeld, showing the pref
tiest. buch of samples from the Johnnie
mine, that has been seen for a long
time. The samples were taken from a
recent strike on the 650-foot level of
the Johnnie, where a streak from 6 to
s inches wide of pure white quartz was
encountered. The quartz is what is
known generally as California
quartz and is studded all over with
cubes of gold and in places masses OF
thread gold hold the quartz together.
The gold is of the purest yellow, and IS
the same as that taken from the Crown
Point Globe, only 700 feet distance, a
reference to which property was made
in these columns but recently.
The Johnnie property has greatly i'm
proved since Mr.. Myers has given it
his personal attention. There is ore in
each of the seven levels. Forty men
are at work on the property, 30 under
ground and 10 in the mill. The mill is
rapidly being put into commission.
Within the last nine days, the 16 Ms
son stamps now operating, turned out
772 ounces of amalgam, worth about
81 per ounce, and this was the result OF
a partial cleanup only. The headings
average 5000, and the tailings are
now down as low as 40 cents. By the
10th of February, the mill will be
treating 100 tons per day.
The Johnnie is one of the most cosn-
plete mining propositions in Nevada.
1t has its own mine and mill, also runs
its own boarding house, and has for the
pleasure and convenience of it's men, a
"canteen' Or club house, billiard
room, etc. The whole proposition is
under one head and is conducted mos.
satisfactorily to all concerned.

NEW MILLNS TO MAKE
WINDFALL BIG PRODUCER

a depth of wei 200 feet, and for a con-
siderable distance literally by drifts,
the body of gold bearing rock thus
blocked out justifying the erection Of
a mill. Through the dyke formation,
however, there are stringers of high
grade quartz which will justify the
working of that body also.
Yields to Cyanide
The rock yields to a cyanide and
teaching process which requires but
simple mill equipment. Owing to the
soft nature Of the rock, the crushing
equipment of the mill is equipped with
Gates rotary crushers with a capacity
of $50 tons per day, and which deliver
their product to Allis-Chalmers rolls
for final pulverization. From the rolls
the crushed rock goes direct to the
cyaniding watts. No concentrating
equipment will be used, and as the
rock, after being taken from the hoist,
is handled by practically automatically
working machinery through all the de
partments of the mill, it appears as il
the milling operations should be most
economical. Reports from the property
are to the effect that the rock is easily
mined. If the values at depth main
tain their present average, the gentle
men who purchased this property Shout
realize handsome profits.

THE GOLDFIELD G. o. D. MINING
COMPANY,
AND
THE GOLD BAR MINING co. OF
GOLDFIELD.

To our Stockholders.
You are hereby notified that there has
been organized Under the laws oil
South Dakota the &C. o. ID. Consol
idated Mining Company" which vii
take over as n holding company a con
trolling interest in tie c. G. ID. Mining
Company and the Gold Bar Mining
CoiaIany of GoldGclj, and will acquire
by deed from the Goldfield Consol-
i'tited Mining Company the Victor
c.: m, the corp rat OH having a stock
caI.tal of three million shares of a par
vsl;.c If one ,lall1r each. and will have
about sne million shares unusued in the
treasury after all stock is exchanged,
provided it is all turned in for ex-
change. In this Ease the holding CON-
pany will own all assets of the Gold
Bar Mining Company and the c. O. d.
Mining Company entirely. A large ma
jority of the issued stock of these COM
panies is already being turned in for
exchange.
The territory complete will comprise
something over ninety COY acres, being
approximately sixty (60) acres in the
C. o. d. territory, twenty-five (22l
acres of the Victor and about eight (s)
acres of the Gold Bar.
The basis of exchange will be as fol
lows: The Gold Bar stockholders will
receive three shares of Consolidated
stock for five shares Of Gold Bar stock.
The C.. o. ID. stockholders will receive
one share of Consolidated stock for one
share of c.. o. ID. stock.
You are invited to participate with
the other stockholders Immediately and
exchange your stock OF the basis
named. 1t is the belief of a very large
majority of the interests that all Will
be benefited by the consolidation of
these properties owing to the fact that
it is all contiguous territory, and that
the vein systems so far developed run
through each of the properties, and de-
velopment has demonstrated the pres
ence of ore in all of them.
The intimate relation of the vein sys-
TENS of the three properties and the
dip of the same makes it advisable, and
it is believed by our manager that great
economy will result from development
from a central point.
No transfer fee will be charged on
the exchange of stock and you are re
quested to mail your certificates immc'
diately either to c. r. Anderson, secre'
tary, or to the Guarantee Title & Trust
company of Pittsburg who will be
transfer agents for the c. o. D. Con
solidated Mining company.
Trusting this information will meet
with your approval, we remain,

Interest in local mining circles is
still undated as to what is or what is
not in sight in the workings of the Elk
Consolidated Mining and Leasing COM
pany on the Yellow Tiger group, and
also regarding the future plans of the
company, which is backed by prominent
Colorado mining men and capitalists,
and managed by Maurice Starne.
The visit of J.. II. Robson of Den
yer, vice president of the Yellow Tiger
ompany to Goldfeld this week, has
shed some official light upon the situa-
ton.
"Probably the most important
thing said Mr.. Robson, lis the fact
that a very promising body of ore was
opened some time ago in a winze sunk
ten feet from the 6OO-foot level. Work
was stopped here on account of wate',
and to secure an extension of the lease.
The next important thing is that the
extension has been granted to the leas-
ing company, and they are preparing
to resume operations within the near
future, and the shaft will probably be
sunk to the 500 or 1,000-foot level to
intersect the vein at that depth, and
mine the ore from below
Reidel Issues Statement
An official statement issued by H. A.
R;odal nresideut of the Yellow Tiger
Mining company, says: "Leasing
operations ceased September l on ac-
count of a flow of water, and work has
been withheld pending an understand
ing between the company and the leas-
ers, looking both to an extension of the
contract and enlarged plans of explora-
m.-Thelease will nov run for three
years from November last.

YELLOW TIGER OUTLOOK
DISCUSSED BY OFFICIALS

Developments on the Jackass claim
aggregate 1850 feet, and the leasing
company is said to have expended
about $4,000 in exploration and equip
ment. The much-talked of strike be
low the 600-foot level gave assays of
from So to 1886 a ton, while a picked
sample from a stringer ran over $4,000
"The shaft is timbered where neees.
sary and equipped in a modern and
up-to-date way. A large station was
cut at the 6OO-foot level, from where
the different drifts were run. After
tapping a large ledge in the west drift,
which showed up so feet in width,
drifting started, and the showing grad
ually improved.
Ore 40 Feet Across
"The latter part of August a winze
was sunk to a depth of 10 feet on a Zig
Eody of quartz, which showed fully &C
feet across. In sinking this winze 10
feet a heavy flow of water was encoun-
tered at a point where they had the
best showing that they have ever had
in the mine since the lease was started.
"On account of the heavy flow OF
water encountered in the 10-foot winze
and the fact that they were apparently
working right on top of an ore shoot,
which dips towards the shaft, 1T was
decided to discontinue operations and
consult with the Denver interests as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of sinking the main
shaft to the 500 or 1,000-foot level to
intersect this vein at depth, and to
mine the ore from below. The water
could more easily be handled through
the main shaft, and the property could
be mined and operated to better al
vantage"

three bids. The Enterprise Push, 20
per cent Of legal rates; the Democrat
12l per cent Of legal rates; the BE-
FLEcToR, Chronicle and News put In
. joint bid to print the official news
Of the county in all three papers,
three weeklIes and two dallies, for 10
per cent Of legal rates. This would
have giveu about $500 subscribers
the official news and have reached all
parts Of the county. s. H. MuCul-

his election largely to the News,
made . motion to accept the Demo-
Gratis bid. @. W. Peterson, Republl-
