SPREADING FACTS ABOUT cOLDFIELD

Secretary Sattler of the Goldfeld Chamber of Commerce has had printed
5000 copies of a folder containing facts and figures abo1t Goldfeld. These
facts were con pile for the press and the public and will be spread broad
cast all yer the country.
The data comprised in the circular give the production, dividends, mill
ing capacity and number of me employed in the camp. The facts ire onelsey
stated and make al excellent showing s&
1t is the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce to put ON of these state
int the office of every newspaper in the country into every broker
age house and into the hands If every e sufficiently interested to write for
ne. Additional copies will be printed so that brokers ant business houses
cn gt them in OTIS by paying a slight fee. A large n1nber will also he sent
to the secretary OF the American Mining Congress, who las offered to send
them ~ with other literature anent the coming session at Godfed.
The people of Goldfeld should rally to the support If the Chamber of
Commerce.. 1t is doing splendid work for the camp at the time of it's greatest
need. Its work is done quietly and effectively, and possibly it is because there
is no a constant blarng of tumpets that it's work is not better known. This
yea above all Others because of the enormous work incident 20 the coming
meeting If the National Mining Congress, the Chamber of Commerce needs
the help and cooperation of all. Very little is wanted in the way of money.
Only So per month for individuals and SO per month for firms pays for office
room, help and all the advertising that is constantly being done. All the
officers of the organization, except the secretary, give their services free AM
they are all busy business men; but they realize the necessity of such al or
ganization and make n 10 complaint except that they do not get the support
that the organization deserves and must have to be of the greatest benefit.

ALAMO LEASE ON LUCKY
BOY PAYS BIG DIYlDENO

The Alamo lease on the Lucky Boy
mine near Hawthorne, paid its first disi
dend yesterday, the amount declared
Icing $4,000 or 10 cents per share.
The Lucky Boy has been one of the
sensational developments of the year
in Nevada mining. Only a compare
lively few months ago, while grading q
road over the hills back of Hawthorne,
a grader picked up a piece of galens|
ore that had been uncovered. The find
was purely accidental, as the workman
was far from looking for a mine. From
this discovery the work of following up|
the lead began, ard it soon developed
that u great mine was awaiting the pick
and shovel.
l.. l.. Patrick got wind of the ind
and interested J.. d. Hubbard Of Chi
cago. with whom he had been associated
IN the Combination mine from the early
days of Goldfeld, and which mine they
finally sold to the Consolidated. Patrick
and Hubbard took a bond on the ground
and made two or three payments. Fin
ally a payment was overdue by a day or
so and the original owner took posses
sion with shot guns. A compromise was
finally effected by Hubbard and Patrick
putting up a large sum for a lease On 2
part of the same property they had been
trying to buy. A company was formed
under the name of the Alamo Leasing
company, and the lease from the hfs
has been a bonanza. The mine is so|
opened up that this first dividend FL
$500 will be followed by other dlvf
dends of the same amount pretty
nearly every week. as Barry Hamliio'|
of the First National bank said TO-DAY
The lease does its business through tne|
First National, of which Mr.. Hamilton
is cashier and Mr.. Patrick presldenl.
Mr.. Hamilton says the lease IS prooue
ing in the neighborhood of $2o.ooo Pfl
day and is working 60 men.

Goldfeld is putting Uncle sam $
minis on the ssbum' with her enormous
production of the royal metal. Bullion
is going out to the mints at a rate that
Is making officials slam the door, throw
mn their hands and, in the language OF
Macbeth. crv: "Hold, enough"
Bullion shipments from ''the greatest
oold camn on EARTH have been arriv-
mo nj the government assay Office at
Carson City in such quantities during
.be mast week that the doors of the old
mint have been closed against further
sh;pments. and the bullion transferred
ON trucks and sent onward TO San
Francisco. These shipments of gold
have passed the era of a hundred or a
few hundred pounds, and are now meas
ured by the ton.
The immense increase is largely due
to the recent big strike in the Com
b;nation No. l claim of the Goldteld
Consolidated estate, and also to the
production of the Florence mill, which
is adding its proportion in an unassum-
ing way.

HAZEL GOLDFIELD LEASE
MAY RESUME WORK SOON

Advices recently received from the

the Hazel Goldfeld lease on the last
Chance claim of the Consolidated estate,
Indicate that efforts are being made to
straiobten out the financial affairs OF
the company and resume operations In
the near future.
If this is accompanied, a pump Will
lie put on with sufficient capacity to
easily handle the flow of water, and
the shaft will be sunk IN additional lou
feet to get under the ore opened at the
7l4-foot level. During the idleness OF
the lease for the last two months, the
workings have filled with water, and
there will be a big job on hand to get
his out. There is without doubt a
splendid prospect in sight where the
vein has been opened, and the lease was
about on the verge Of becoming a ship
per when it was closed down through
d~issensions ans lack of fun Is. Matters
now seem TO look favorable for revivlng
the prop osition within a shcrt time.

REFEREE IN BANKRUP ICY
PUTS 20. K."ON GOLDFIELD

j. Poujade, referee in bankruptcy for
Nevada, appointed by the federal court
to handle such matters, was in Gold
field Wednesday. 81
When told that in view of the posi-
ton which he occupies as referee In
bankruptcy, it was thought that some
thing of that sort had occurred in Gold
field. or that at least his presence must
mean something important, he said:
"No, my visit to Goldfeld has no
story in connection with it, and my
services in a judicial nature are not re-
quired in any business here to my
knowledge.
"You nave the story right here he
said, .'the story of the big strike-the
continuation of Goldfeld-the thing
which will instill life and energy into
every branch of trade in a short time.
H
"By that / mean that you have found
more millions in the ground, and that
the finding of these millions will mean
the investment of more millions, as it
will justify the expenditure Of money
to a considerable extent to find such
another strike as the one which has
been made recently. 1t will mean a re.
newed interest in development, on the
theory that where such an immense
body of gold has been found, more must
also be found within the vicinity.
"You see, prospecting is more profit
able in the vicinity of . big strike
near ground which has been proven
than in some strange locality where
nothing but the surface Indications are
there to warrant the expenditure of
money. Therefore, l say that where
the ore is known to exist, there the
~prospector will become the developer of
property, and will continue to develop
with the certain knowledge that he has
something already proven in the vicin-
ity, and something to look forward to.
81 win say that Goldfeld will be bet
ter in a year from now than it ever has
been-it cant help it-for the new
strike will bring as many millions al.
most into Goldfeld for development
purposes, as is measured by the big

'GOI DFIELD BULLION
SWAMPS CARSON MINT

But the inability of the mint at q,

tity of bullion, through inadeop.,.

shippers a small fortune for the ex,..
expense involved in the big exp,.-
rates for its transportation onward :.
