BEING ACTIVELY DEVELOPED

The crosscut will be continued into the
mountain some fifty to seventy-fve feet
west, to cut the big assure from which
tile s'Original Lease mined some $14,
900 worth of ore last year and only at
tanned a depth of seventy seven feet.
The company crosscut will cut the ore
at a depth of $50 to 10 feet, and as the
~lcasers left the ore in the bottom of
their workings, the company expects to
have at least seventy-ive feet of good
stopping ground with good ore all the
way before they get up to bottom Of
the leasers' workings.
On the Burch lease the crosscut IS
nearing the big fracture, which will be
cut 100 feet below the surface. Mr..
Burch hopes to accomplish this by the
LIST of the month, and has great hopes
of finding pay ore in large quantities,
as a forty-foot shaft sunk in the assure
gave values up to $40 a ton in the bot
tom.
Pasadena and Los Angeles parties
are negotiating for a block of ground
on the Queen, and state that they will
put up a twenty horse power gasoline
hoist ard sink from 200 to 800 feet at
once.

TO START ABOUT APRIL

Warren j. Flick, general manager,
and Charles Brenneman, president OF
the Jefferson Mining company, owning
the famous old Kanrohat mine in Jei-
ferson canyon, were in Manhattan Sun
day, accompanied by Mrs. Flick. When
seen at the Central hotel by a repre-
sentative of the Manhattan Mail, Mr..
Flick said:
''The Jefferson Mining company has
absorbed the Jefferson Gold and Silver
Mining company and now has thirty
men at work upon its property, which
for over thirty-five years was operated
bv Charles Kanrohat. In that time Mr..
Kanrohat accomplished over 1000 feet
Of underground work and extracted 20
900 tons of ore, now on the dumps,
which is worth from SIS to $40 per
ton.

weather and deep SHOWS alone prevent
ing one of the most picturesque STAN
pedes ever seen in the sage brush state.
Last December Messrs. Lippman,
Turner and Wilson took out with their
cwn hands many sacks of ore, assays on
which ran over $4,000 gold per ton.
Some of the samples now in Salt Lake
are more gold than rock, while Mr..
Turner states by letter than rock is be-
inc found at depth now on an adjoining
group which bends before it will break,
so rich is it in gold.
This property adjoins the Nevada
Humboldt group, on which a tunnel Is
in over 200 feet in search of the same
ore vein, and when it does tap it within
a short distance there will be a SPLEEN
did depth, and his is expected to dis
close the conduct of the vein at depth.
The property on which the latest strike
was made is called the Golden Stairs,
and it was for a half interest in this
property that prominent investors Oh
last Friday, at Lovelock, paid $4,000,
Mr.. Turner being a witness to the
transaction himself. There now is a
scramble on for leases On everything
within the canyon, and it is these facts
that seem to justify Mr.. Turner in his
prediction that a booming camp will be
firmly rooted there within a few weeks
time.

Over in Nevada, in Humboldt county,
is a mining district known as the Hum
boldt. of which the old town of Hum
holdt once stood as the center. This
district has produced over $10,000,0 600
worth of precious minerals, the early
DAYS finding it one of the most noted OF
camps, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Humboldt at one time was a point
where Mark Twain dwclt, and some OF
the old buildings are still standing.
Within this district is a gulch that goes
by the name of Black canyon, and from
it in the first days of Nevada's great
ness the Chinese placer miners &C.
counted for 100000 worth of gold
dust and nuggets extracted, and no tell
ing how much more they took back 70
the coast with them for which nc re-
turns were made to the bullion tax col
lector.
In several letters and kilograms seat
to his local association during the past
two weeks, General Manager Turner OF
the Inlay Mining company predicts
that Black Canyon will be one of the
greatest gold mining camps in the state
of Nevada, and that there are two
properties there now that are richer AZ
their age thar anything within the
Goldfcld district, and that within the
next month there will be fully a thou

THE GOLDFIELD G. o. D. MINING
COMPANY,
AND
THE GOLD BAR MINING co. OF
GOLDFIELD.

To our Stockholders.
You are hereby notified that there has
been organized under the laws OF
South Dakota the &C. o. D. Consol-
ldated Mining Company which Will
take wei as a holding company a con-
trolling interest in the G. G. d. Mining
Company and the Gold Bar Mining
C|oilIany of Goldfcll. and will acquire
nv deed from the Goldfeld ConsDl-
iI,ted Mining Company the Victor
G.: IN, the corp rat on iaving a stock
~car:tal of tire" million shares of a par
valac nf one .lallar each. and will ave
about me million shares unusued in tns
treasury after all stock is exchanged,
provided it is all turned in for ex-
change. In this case the holding CON-
pany will own all assets of the Gold
Bar Mining Company and the c. 0. d.
Mining Company entirely. A large NIL
iority of the issued stock of these COM
panies is already being turned in for
exchange.
The territory complete will comprise
something over ninety COY acres, being
approximately sixty (60) acres in the
C. o. D. territory, twenty-five (22l
acres of the Victor and about eight (S)
acres of the Gold Bar.
The basis of exchange will be as fol-
lows: The Gold Bar stockholders will
receive three shares of Consolidated
stock for five shares of Gold Bar stock.
The c.. O. d. stockholders will receive
one share of Consolidated stock for one
share of c. O. d. stock.
You are invited to participate with
the other stockholders Immediately and
exchange your stock on the basis
named. 1t is the belief of a very large
majority of the interests that all Will
be benefited by the consolidation OF
these properties owing to the fact thai
it is all contiguous territory, and that
the vein systems so far developed run
through each of the properties, and de-
velopment has demonstrated the pres
ence of ore in all of them.
The intimate relation of the vein sys-
tens of the three properties and the
dip of the same makes it advisable, and
it is believed by our manager that great
economy will result from development
from a central point.
No transfer fee will be charged ON
the exchange of stock and you are re-
ouested to mail your certificates immc-
diately either to c.. R. Anderson, secre-
tary, or to the Guarantee Title & Trust
company of Pittsburg who will be

solidated Mining company.

Hon. Geo. B. Reuss, President of the Police Jury,
Hohen SoInns, La.
Dear sir:-In the matter of the ferry lease to
Mr.. v. T. Gambre OF the Port Vincent ferry, of
date Sept. Is, 1898 referred to me for opinion, +
beg leave to advise you as follows:
This contract. in my opinion, is an absolute
nullity, for the reason that Sec. 2758 B. s., di-
reefs the police uries the letting of ferries, to
same adYeF Used Tor as5JS the
official journal of the parish and to be then sold
by the president OF the police jury at the front
door Of the courthouse, to the highest bidder,
for period of not more than FIVE years; for the
further reason, that Sec. 2759 r. S., gives con-
current jurisdiction over ferries plying over
streams dividing parishes. and IN my opinion no
valid lease can be let without the concurrence of
the two parishes.
would therefore advise You to have the police
jury of the parish OF Ascension Immediately can
eel and annu the contract OF lease of date Sept.
Is, 1903, Of the Port Vincent ferry to Mr.. " q.
Cambre. I would further advise you TO pass and
adopt an ordinance giving consent and directing
and empowering the president of the police jury
of the parish Of livingston to advertise for
sale the Port Vincent ferry on behalf of the
parishes of Ascension and Livingston Tor d term
not to exceed i've years. TO the highest bidder
the net proceeds Of the sale TO bediyided equally
between the two parishes
would also advise you to notify at once Mr.
V. q. Cambre as to your intention to have his
contract nuIlifaed and, If possible, TO hare him
present at the next meeting of the police jury,
