J. +. o. B., Reno.-I repeat your
query:
GAS the time for making application
to Judge Stevens, trustee for title to
lots in the townsite of Goldfeld, is
rather limited, it occurs to me that
there are many who are doubtful as to
how they shall designate the lot or lots
to which they wish title. Are they 20
use the lot and block numbers Of the
survey of the Goldfeld Townsite com
pany, as shown by their contracts with
the latter company, or does the map
made recently by Surveyor Parks gov
ernfD
Judge Stevens says the following:
"While the new map governs in the
matter of granting titles, applications
made describing lots are given the
same consideration whether the lot and
block numbers given are under the new
or the old survey. Applications should
state as to which survey application is
made under.
'sThe lot numbers in all parts Of the
town will remain the same, as will the
block numbers in the original townsite
survey. In many of the additions,
however, the lots are numbered from
tone" on upward, as they were in the
original survey, and when the addi-
tions were admitted, there were result
antly several blocks with similar nun
bers embraced in the town. Saying the
highest numbered block in the original
townsite was 500, the blocks in the adj
ditions will be numbered "501," "502'
and so on.
cit is desirable hat applications be
made under the new survey, but appli-
cations made under the old survey will
receive the same consideration as lots
under the new survey. Filing under the
new survey merely saves the office the
work of comparing the two surveys
The new survey makes a few slight
changes in street and alley lines, but
that is all. Title will be granted ac'
cording to the lines of the new survey,
but to the lots described according 70
either survey. The new survey may
merely change boundary lines a few
inches.
I'VE have received many inquiries
as to this matter, and are answering
them as rapidly as possible, the in
quiries answered according to the rota-
ton in which they are received. All
the answer will have gone out
shortly
j. J.. M, New York.-As has been
stated in these columns several times
lately, the Red Top Mining and Leas-
ing company suspended operations
about six weeks ago, on account OF lack
of funds to carry on the development.
After their hosting plant burned, it
was replaced by another, and it looked
as though they might break into a good
body of pay ore at any time. They had
a large body of low grade, and found
frequent punches of ore that assaycd
from $l2 to $35, but they did not sue
coed in getting into pay before the
funds ran out, although they were GER
=. M
tainly developing some very likely ter
ritory. Johnson and Cottle are in San
Francisco, and apparently taking a
great deal Of interest in the Oil fields.
1t is understood that they are also en-
deavoring to raise additional money for
the Red Top lease, but their representa-
tive here has no recent advices as to
progress or future intentions.
A. S., Cambridge, Ohio.-The Kansas
City Goldield Mining company's lease
on the Velvet expires May 81, 1910. The
company has not been doing any work
for more than a month, but the ground
is being operated under suitcase by
some of the men who formerly worked
for the company. They are getting
more or less ore-about enough to pay
,od wages. This company's lease on
the c. o. d. has been imperative for a
long time, and expired some time ago.
We have no recent data on the Manitou
Mining company in Humboldt county.
Better write to the editor Of the Hum
boldt Star, at Winnemucca, Nevada.
T. M. M, Baltimore, Md.-Present
status of the Baltimore Belle company
is apparently somewhat mixed, and as
DR.. Robinson has removed from Gold
field, being now presumably in Los An
geles, it is impossible to get any definite
information from him. No work is be-
ing done on the property, however, and
probably will not be for some time to
