That consolidation of all the prop
critics in the heart of the proven min
eral zone at Pioneer is under way is
strongly evident from happenings OF
the past few days, and from plans
which are now and have been for some
weeks, under quiet formulation. The
purchase of the Conservative claim
from the Gold Hills company (Tobin
Brothers) by George Wingfeld of Gold
field and d. r. G.. Brown of Aspen,
Colo, both millionaires, the deal con-
summated Tuesday afternoon in this
city, seems to be the first move OF i'm
portanee in the direction of this CON
solidation.
The fact that w. J. and r. f. Tobin
are negotiating the purchase of the four
claims of the Bullfrog Valley View
company, in which Geo. Thatcher and
Malcolm Macdonald of Tonopah are
large owners, is another pointer in the
direction of consolidation. To this
must be added the statement of one of
the Tobins, made some weeks ago, to
the effect that "within the next three

WINGTIELD LEAVES FOR EAST
TO ATTEND CON. MEETING

George Wingfeld left for Reno this
morning, anu from there he will 90 TO
New York to attend the quarterly
meeting of the Consolidated Mines
company which will be held at the
Waldorf Astoria May 81.
At that meeting Mr.. Wingfeld will
probably be elected to the presidency
of the company, to succeed Senator
George S. Nixon, who transferred his
principal mining interests to Mr.. Wing
field some time ago. As vice president
of the Consolidated company, Mr.. Wing
field has been identified with the active
management of the property to much
greater extent than has Senator Nixon,
and his election as president will be but
the logical outcome of the new condi-
tions which makes Mr.. Wingfeld by
far the largest individual shareholder
in the big corporation.
As to the probability Of an extra
dividend being declaxed at the ap-
preaching meeting, Mr.. Wingfeld last
night declined to express an opinion.
This meeting will declare, however, the
next regular quarterly dividend OF
81 l.0s0,00o, payable July 81.

tract entered into between Mr.. Hickey

GRIZZLY BEAR LEASE
CUTS CLERMONT LEDGE

One of the important developments
of the past week has beer the cutting
of the Clermont ledge in the Grizzly
Bear lease shaft, at depth of about
AGO feet. This is close to the point at
which it was believed the vein would
be reached at the time the shaft was
started, and proves it's continuity into
this ground without break in dip or
strike from the Clermont shaft, nearly
700 feet to the north.
The lease is being operated by the
Grizzly Bear Mining company, of which
Walton Dowlen of the Nevada Goldfeld
Reduction works is president, Milton
M. Detch, vice president, and Wallace
Macgregor, manager. Most of the
stock is held by Mr.. Dowlen and his as
soeiates in Paris.
No important values have yet been
found where the shaft is penetrating
the ledge, but when the footwall is
reached, station will be cut and drifts
run north and south on the vein. The
ledge is very strong and IN good shape
for carrying ore. The lease still has
nearly 22 months to run, and the shaft
will be sunk to greater depth, probably
1000 feet, during the progress of which
it is expected to cut the Jumbo vein.
When the Jumbo is reached there is
every probability that splendid bodies
of ore will be developed, for that vein
has long ago proven its worth and ore
bearing qualities.
Three shifts are pushing the shaft

Pratt went to Willow Springs Sunday,
where survey of the workings OF the
Goldfeld Granite Mountain company
was made. This company is developing
its property by means of crosscut tun-

been difficult work.
The country in the Goldfield Noun

Fruit company, o. A. Chamberlain and
others.
Another mining project of still great
er magnitude in which Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Macdonald are interested to-
gether in the Montezuma Mining COM
pany property at Montezuma, about
twelve miles from Goldfeld. The group
includes ten patented mines, which pro-
duced about $1O,000,000, but have not
been operated for many years. They
were first worked in 1860, and We're
celebrated producers in their time.
Among them are the Bullion, New York,
Benton, Caracas, Nevada, Arizona and
others of more or less note. Messrs.
Williams and Macdonald recently pur-
chased the property from the former
owners, but as all of the old buildings
and machinery have gone to decay and
ruin, it will be necessary to equip them
anew. The first work is to be done on
the Bullion, and operations gradually
extended to the others. The ore is lead
and silver, very similar to the Haw-
thorne ores that are now interesting the
country.
George Hearst, father of William
Randolph Hearst, once offered $4,000
cash for the Caracas in its early stages
of development, but the 5der was de-
clined.
The property was at one time equip
ped with a smelter, but this has been
dismanteled and gone to decay with
the rest of the equipment.

another so feet unless the vein is sooner
intersected. If the course of the vein
at depth remains the same as the out
crop, and it's dip is forty-five degrees,
the tunnel will cut it in about 20 feet.
An indication that. it is not for dis
tant is the presence of live iron in the
granite, as well as the unusual degree
of hardness of the rock in the face Of
the tunnel.
Yesterday the company sent down to
the camp considerable shipment OF
rails, air pipe and tools, as well as
a lot of camp supplies, and the indica-
tions are that there will be some in
teresting developments on this prop
erty before long. Work has been con-
stantly in progress for year and a
half.
