The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-01-09
N. J. F. c., Jersey city.-This del

always make haste to correct imme-
diatelv upon our attention being called
TO it. The Goldfeld district embraces
about 100 square miles, and i. is pias-
tered over with claims, ZONE times two
deep. There are $40 companies owning
surveyed property represented upon
Chute's official map. There are hun
dreds of others not indexed on the map,
claiming to own property in this terri
tory. many of which claims are ficti-
tious. Again, there are probably 900
leasing companies, none Of which are
represented upon Chutes' map. That
we make errors occasionally, is not to
be wondered at; that we make so few
indicates the t~horoughness of this de
partment. Now, to the point. We erred
in our report on the Goldfeld Name
less when we said the property has not
been working for some time. We were
misinformed. The property has been
working right along, although with a
small force. The shaft is down 4S6
feet and crosscutting will begin at the
500-foot point. The property is well
equipped with machinery and mine
buildings, and the managers think they
have good chances to get ore, as there
is a strong ledge running through the
ground, from which encouraging assays
have been had from time to time.
j. P. OBJ, Datertown, Massive an
swered a query last week about the
Nevada Empress. Some ore has beer
blocked OIL and a mill was bought and
erected on the ground. 1t was sup
posed that plenty of water could be de-
veloped, but so far results have been
disappointing. A well was sunk and
some water found. Seepage wafer
caused the walls of the well to ave in.
and the well will have to be timbered
and sunk deeper. If water cannot be
developed this way, a pipe line will
have to be laid for quite a distance. 1t
is said that the company has no debts
and is in good funds. (2) Your ques
tion about the Portland Florence was
answered in an article in last weeks
issue.
r. T. j., Briggscn, Ore.-We have no
recent information on the Rawhide
American, but we are given to under
stand that the Queen Regent Mining
company is working right along and
that it is a valuable property. The
Regent section is one of the best in the
entire Rawhide country. We are in
clined to believe, however, that you
haze two companies mixed, and tl:at
you have in mind the Queen Regent
Copper & Gold company, for that is the
company promoted by j. L. Kerr, San
Francisco, of whom you speak. We
have not heard from this latter COM
pany for some time. In writing about
any company, be careful to state the
exact corporate name, for there are
many companies in Nevada of similar
names and it is impossible to guess
which particular company is in the
mind of the writer, unless we are sure
he has given the full and accurate cor.
porate name.
j. D., New York City.-The Big Flor
ence lease on the Atlanta, locally
known as the "Maloney' lease :s
working three shifts of men, employing
all that possibly can be worked to alt
vantage. The shaft was sunk to the
5S5-foot point, but the manager, believ-
ing that a vein that was cut at $50 feet
might develop something good, went
back to that point and is now drifting.
The lease is being worked under a full
head of steam, as it were, and if there
is anything in the ground, it will be
found, as the management is prepared
to go still deeper, if necessary, to get
ore.
]. L., Providence, r. 1.-The ROYAL
Flush group at Gold Mountain is what
the secretary of the state historical
society thinks is the famous lost Brev-
fogle mine. 1t is understood to be \
good property with excellent prospects.
Stock is nov being sold for the pur-
pose of developing the ground, and an
advertisement will be found in this
issue. (2) The other companies of
which you speak are not within our
"sphere of influence" we will en-
deavor to get the information, how
ever, although it will take some time.
F. H., Ferrell, Ark.-We have not
been able to get track of James McCuna.
formerly Waterman on the Daisy.
Should anyone reading this inform us
of his whereabouts we will notify Won.
Chicago Candidly we do not think
very much of the property. We are toll
by trustworthy informant that even If
there was a mill on the ground there !.
not enough ore opened up to keep il
going any length of time.
w. &. F., Erie, Pa.-The Diamond.
held Black Butte Consolidated is carr.
ing a note of about $1,000, which was
gwen some fifteen months ago, to cover
an overdraft. The company has in
treasury at this time, between IS.
