GOLDFIELD MEN PREPARE
TO WORK RICH PLACERS

Preparations for starting extensive
operations on their placer ground at
lone are being made by Thomas D..
Murphy, Postmaster E. X. Collins and
Downie d. Muir, all well known opera
tors of Goldfield. lone is 1l5 miles
north of Goldfeld, and about 500 acres
of rich ground have been secured by
this trio who have been investigating
the district for some time. A Fair
banks-Morse pump and W miles of
pipe line have just arrived from Wis
cousin, and will be installed under rush
orders.
Some of the ground runs So and $40
per cubic yard, and the average will
be about $50 per yard. 1t is esti-
mated that at least $4,000 per month
can be realized out of these operations.
lone is not far from the south end of
the Reese River range, where ample
water can be secured for placer opera
tions. The mining revival at Berlin,
Lodi, Duluth and other camps IN thar
section of the country has served to at
tract the attention of Goldheld capital
to that neighborhood. 1t is believed
that this ground will prove to be equal
to any that has been opened in tho
Round Mountain country, which has
been a prolific producer of wealth from
the sands and gravel of the desert.

ELECTRICITY FOR PIONEER

As a result of the wonderful develop
ments in the Pioneer district, the Ne
vada-C California Power company IS pre-
pairing to extend their lines into the
camp from Bullfrog, a distance of about
eight miles. 1t is planned to SEM
5000 volts into the district, which viii
furnish both power and light for the
camp and mines. Reports all agree thas

finds of the state, and that the camp as
bound to be a hummer The advent OF

George +. Won Polenz has just re-

that the camp is going ahead at a very

TO CAMP OF PIONEER
BOOMS TOWN AND MINES

The new town of Pioneer continues
to grow. Prices for town lots are soar
ing, the highest paid up to date for a
single lot being 5000. One of the prom.
nent corners is being held at $1,000.
The surveyors are extending the streets
as fast as possible, making room for
the rush, which is increasing, says the
Rhyolite Herald.
Among the new business houses are
two saloons, the Pioneer and the Sixty
Six, erected by NJ f. Rice and Taylor
& Remick, respectively. Both thirst
parlors are housed in substantial cor
rugated iron buildings. A. Deck & Co.
are putting up a two-eompartment
building, one of which will be used for
saloon purposes and the other will be
occupied by Dalfs & South for a meat
market. +. Farar, of Beatty, will put
in a bake shop at once.
There are two new eating houses, one
of which is run by Mrs. Spears. j. ID.

A petition has been circulated, ask
ing for a postofice at Pioneer, with Ed
Hekelrath as postmaster.
The leasing fever is epidemic at
Pioneer. Fully thirty applications for
leases have been received by the sew
eral companies controlled by W. j. and
r. F. Tobin and J. X. Ryan, incluaing
the Bullfrog Pioneer Gold Mines com
pany, the North Extension company,
the Los Angeles Bullfrcg Gold Mining
company, the X. X, and the VALLEY
View. Perhaps one-half of the appli-
cations will be considered favorably by
these parties, the plan being to grant
leases to responsible parties only.
1t is predicted that within a short
time a large number of leasing outfits
will be at work all around the Pioneer
strike, and it is likely that leases will
be given on othe- properties than those
noted above.
Brodie and Bonham have started
work on the Bimetallic No. | claim OF
the Pioneer estate, and are sinking a
shaft on a very promising gold showing.
Ed Hekelrath has started work on
the lease granted to himself, Charles
Ryan and John A. Moffat. This lease is
on the Bluff claim of the Valley View
estate.

7 EFT US SEE if this is true. The Pioneer Oil Com
pany has a capital of 100000 shares. For
organization ard purchase of property, 100000
shares were issued and pooled, and s0o,0OO shares
,laeed in the treasury. OF treasury stock 100000
shares is now offered for sale, which leaves a treasury
reserve of 5000 shares. Then 100000 shares would
he outstanding. Placing a fair valuation on organize
tion stock at 10 cents a share, the same as treasury
saies. there would be a total investment of $4,000 for
purchase and organization with development.
California oil land in the Coalinga and the Santa
Clara districts, is now selling at $500 to $4,000 IN
acre. with an absolute certainty not only of quick re-
turn of the principal so invested but in addition large
profits.
The holding of the Pioneer Oil Company is 2,56o
acres that upon development with advancing prices
NAV be worth more than California oil land. At pres
ent prices, however, it's estate would be worth $3.50,
eco to 81, $50, 900. Dividing these sums by amount Of
investment in Pioneer Oil or $4,000, gives $3.50 or
1890, according to price per acre used. Deducting
original investment of 81 from gain of $3.50 or
Sl53.G so, the net gain is $3.50 or $152.60. Every dollar
of an advance represents 100 per cent gain. There
fore, multiplying net gain in dollars by 100, the result
is 1850 or 1920 per cent net gain on every dollar in
vested from the asset alone, to say nothing of subse-
QUO mt profits or dividends. So that the percentage
likely to accrue ON an investment in Pioneer Oil, is ex-
activ as stated.

JUNE LEASE SEEKS DEPTH

Extensive preparations are being
made by j. o. Buckley, representing
the Nevada Queens Mining company
and Milwaukee capitalists controlling
the June lease on the Atlanta, to prove
up the outlying territory at a depta
that should bring good results IN the
discovery of ore. A new 65-horse power
hoist will soon be in commission on the
property, and the shaft will be rushed
down from its present depth OF 2so feet
to the l,0o0-foot mark without attempt
ing 10 diff, unless something big IS
developed before that time. Three
shifts will be employed, and record
time made in sinking.

THIS OFFER of 100000 shares of Pioneer Oil at the
very nominal figure of 10 cents a share, is not
made on the basis of ''Caveat emptor''-let the
buyer beware. While it has been shown how the pur-
chase of Pioneer Oil is a tremendous opportunity for
immense profit from a very slight investment, and
though these are pencil values and largely speculative,
yet the facts and results are true under conditions as
stated. Still there is nothing wrong nor dishonest IL
speculating-it being no more nor less than an eN

John L. Rupe, attorney for the Penn
sylvania railroad, has notified the
board Of Wayne county commissioners
that the boards proposition to accept
5000 for the 1914 acres Of the poor
farm which are to be used by the COM
pany in widening its right-of-way. has
been accepted. Friendly condemnation
proceedings will be had and in the
meantime the board OF commissioners
will grant the railroad company right
to proceed with its improvements.
The Pennsylvania agrees to give the
county perpetual right to use the water
from springs located on the right-of-
way, but the county will have to stand
the cost of rebuilding any part of its
waterworks system at the poor farm
which may be affected by the change
of grade to be made by the railroad
company. 1t is not believed, however,
that the damage to the water system
itself will be very great and the ex-
pense therefore that will be necessary
to bring about the changes will not
be heavy.

fighting for all the protection they can
get.
The representatives of these men,
some of them holding high public Of
fees, have gone to the president for
the purpose of inducing him to modify
his expressed wishes. He has listened
to them and reiterated his views, but
some leave the White House with their
opinions of what the president said
warped by their own desires.
These twisted presidential utter
ances are conveyed to the conferees,
who in some instances are only too
ready to seize upon them as an ex-
cuse either for reopening an issue that
has been settled or for pressing the
adoption of rate in the fate of which
they are particularly interested. In
part this accounts for Of the numerous
conferences between the president and
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne.
1t frequently is necessary for the two
managers to tell the conferees exactly
what the president wants and. in order
to dispel any doubt, to be able to say
that they have just come from the
White House.

The Banner says:
THE first conciliatory step taken is

foreman of a large furniture factory

of Congressman Barnard a stack of
recommendations a mile high. He is
especially commended as a good bust

a number of applications for this i'm

all very carefully. 1t is more than
