The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-02-27
w. Y. O., Cincinnati.

think our price for The News is 'ex-
~orbitant'' for a weekly, and still you
subscribe. If the p were cheaper,
perhaps it wouldn't be worth subserio-
ING for. 1t is the money we put int'
. The News that makes it worth the
priee to you. You figure the price OF a
paper from the standpoint of an east
erner in a large city where labor, rents
and paper stock are the lowest, ana
brains can be bought for a day s meals.
There is no weekly paper of the size
nubl;sbed in the United States at such
an Expense as the Goldfeld News. Inc
paper stock alone in every SPACE paper
Won receive costs us practically . eenss.
The labor put into the paper Is the
highest paid of any place in the United
States. This is not a general assertion,
but the records of the Typographical
Union show it. We pay our editors, e
p%orters, bookkeepers and all or heip
80 per cent more than is paid In I'm
%cinnati. We pay our help from $50 70
$75 per week, the average of the en-
tire force being about $50 per week.
Freights, light, power and every thing
entering into the making of the COLT
field News is 30 per cent higher N
Goldfeld than in Cincinnati. Still we
have managed to save a few pennies out
of the wreck even at the low price Ot
the paper-$5 per. We want to con-
graduate you on the good list of stocks
you have. All, except one or perhaps
two, are among the best mines and pros
poets. 1t is a pleasure to see that some
of you eastern people IA used a little
Judgment and caution in buying stocks.
L. T. G., San Francisco. The de-
ferred annual meeting of the South
Furnace Creek Copper company was
held at the Office of the company, ITO
Henne building, upon Thursday, Febrn-
airy 18th. A majority of the stock was
trepresented and voted unanimously 20
retain the old board of directors; at the
close of the stockholders meeting the
board elected the same officers for the
ensuing term. The copper properties
of the South Furnace Creek company,
are located in the Gold Valley mining
district, Inyo county, California, south
r - 4Ln Ilat, .rrn,r N
of this company, shows, at shallow
depth, more sulphides than any other
vein in the Furnace Range on the east
side of Death Valley. 1t is understood
that an expert examination on the part
of eastern people will be made in the
next sixty days with a view of inanc-
ing further development.
T. c., Harrisburg, Pa. On last re-
port of the Pittsburg Silver Peak
the average monthly tonnage crush
ed was 10000 tons, having a value
of so a ton, as shown by the heads. OF
this amount SO per cent. is saved by
amalgamation on the plates, the cyanide
! plant cifecting an additional 80 per
cent, which is a record surpassed by
few plants in the country, and many
more do not begin to equal it. The out
put of the plant has been something
over a million per year. During the
past year additional buildings have
been constructed and many improve
ments made in both mine and mill, max
ing the monthly expenditure, including
the pay roll, approximately $4,000.
The acreage controlled by the company
is about 1900, and much of this is vir-
gin territory.

T. M. S., Denver, Colo. No official
circular has been issued to stockholders
of the various companies Wingfeld is
said to be trying to merge. He has
permitted the statement to be printed
as quoting him, however, that the
merging of Booth, Columbia Mountain,
Orc, Night Hawk and possibly the
kewanas, was desirable, and intimatcd
that he would attempt to effect such a
combination.
w. Mop, Seattle. 1t is our undc.-
standing that none of the claims N
Goldfeld or TonOpah of which you ask
ed are patented. In fact they have
never been worked to any extent. The
Manhattan claims are patented, we
learn, and a part of the ground is be-
ing worked as a placer, with fair re-
suits.

Kewanas on the Goldfeld Exchange. y
