CROSSCUT HITS Vein
ON NANCY DONALDSON

John r. Hawkins reports that he
finds developments highly encouraging
the Nancy Donaldson, and the cross
cuts started last month to explore the
main dyke show great regularity in
the formation. The easterly drive is
already into what is thought to be
the footwall of the vein that carried
good values above. This wall has just
been cut, but shows a foot of excellent
quartz that returns fair values. The
work at this point is to be vigorously
pushed and it is believed that the
actual pay portion of the vein will he
found in the next fifteen or twenty
feet.
Besides this work, the company has
been following up the vein on the sur
face and has already proven its con
tinuity on their holdings for fully 1000
feet, in a continuous contact between a
basalt dyke and rhyolite, the vein n
several places giving good values.
Work is going On at adjacent prop

PUBLIC handed GOLD BRICK
in COMBINATION FRACTION

There have been many problem
plays and financial puzzles for tb'
~ediication Of the public, but none Of
them can come up to the intense inter
est and deep mystery that now sur
rounds Combination Fraction in the
world of mining. It's a case of "but.
ton, button, who pulled the stringf''
and neither the oracles or the hills
give answer.
The familiar question as to Chow
old was Amt" becomes as clear as
mud in comparison with the inside
workings of Fraction affairs, and like
wise, Egyptian darkness is as sunshine.
For several days there have been ali
kinds of wild rumors regarding this
football of the Goldfeld mining stocks
market, and the price of stock has
tumbled and bumped down the tobog-
gan slide like a scraped pig down a
creased hog-chute at a packing plant.
A month ago, soon after the declara-
tion of the dividend that was paid a
few days ago, Fraction was quoted at
around Use. A week ago it was SIC,
and today it had hit 4Oc. just where
it will stop is a much mooted question.
The occurrence that have led up to
the slump during the last few days are
the facts that the force is laid off at
the mill that has been operated under
lease from the Nevada-G oldfield Re-
duction company, and no ore is being
boisted from the mine. Shift bosses
are now engaged in making a cleanup
at the mill, and the men who have been
laid off have no information as to
future prospects for resuming work.
So far as official information is con-
cerned, there is absolutely one avail
able. H. 8. Stark, manager and con-
sulting engineer, is out of town, and
said to be in Old Mexico, and Su-
perintendent Downie Muir is as silent
as the mystery is deep when the sub
ject is mentioned.
1t is reported and reiterated that
there is no commercial ore now in
sight in the mine, or at least available
for production without sinking and ex-
tending development work. And this
m in the face of a declaration of a
dividend of practically $4,000 a month
ago. and rumors, which were officially
denied, that a new body of good ore
was encountered about three weeks
ago.
Brokers and owners of Combination
Fraction stock are asking themselves
what kind of mining or manipulation
is being done to bring about such
chaos and conflicting conditions in so
short a time. They are wondering upon
what hypothesis a dividend was de-
clared if there was not enough ore In
sight to run the mill a month, or many

The shaft is close to $50 feet deep,

SUING PARENT COMPANY
FOR LEASERS DEBTS

In Judge Somers division Of the dis
triet court today the case of James
Labeau VS.. the Goldfeld Nighthawk
Mining company is being argued. Col.
James Donovan is attorney for the
plaintiff while the defendant company
is represented by Detch and Carney.
According to the complaint, a con-
Germ that operated a lease upon the
Nighthawk ground went out OF bust
ness without paying the wages OF
plaintiff, and the parent company Is
now being sued for the wages due the
plaintiff by the leasing concern, the
suit based upon technical grounds.

months. And if there was sufficient
ore blocked out in miner-like fashion
to run the mill a few months and thus
justify the dividend being declared at
this time as a pledge to the public and
t. stockholders that the mine was in
good condition, with further produc-
tiou in sight, what strange manipula-
tion or suddenly eliminated events
have occurred to sweep away the
promise that the mine should logical
ly nave given, and which the manage
ment technically dealt out to the pub
lie, and which has now, mysteriously
and without warning, resolved itself
into a "fuker of the worst kind.
While rumor follows rumor that the
mine has been depleted of available ore
reserves, there are other rumors that
put an opposite view upon the situation,
and hint 1t stock manipulation. The
truth seems impossible to ascertain.
That the decision to close down the
mill has beer only suddenly arrived at,
is indicated by the seemingly well au-
thenticated statement that the Fraction
company within the last two weeks
ordered a large amount of supplies,
chemicals, etc., for the mill. 1t is said
that som Of these supplies have ar
rived, including a car Of coke for the
refinery, and it is further said that
bargain rates are now being offered to
prospective buyers who might be in
duced to take them off the hands Of the
Fraction company.
Down in San Francisco there has
been some lively times with the stock
on change, and it has distinguished
itself on the Curb in New York by high
and lofty tumbling.
The bear movement in the city on the
coast has been led by J. v. Hussey, who
recently was in Goldfeld, and gave the
tin to some Of his friends to "short'
Fraction, and "short" it plenty. Then
Hussey went to Frisco, and the fun
began. He had 1900 or 10000 shares
Of the stock in his possession, and
after be got the thing started OWL
ward, he threw his bunch of stock on
the market as a clincher to hold 1t
down. During the last couple OF days
kilograms have been coming into Gold
field to find out "who is this man Hus-
sey, claiming to be from Goldfelds'
While Hussey is probably com-
placently enjoying the result OF his
coup, the market demonstrates that ne
was not only there, but knew what ne
was doing when he went there.
The solution of the problem may pos
sibly be given In the next annual re-
port of the company, which VIII De
.sawaited with interest In the mean
time, the public will probably attempt
to dig up the facts on it's W account.
