u S. smelling CO.
AGAIN after LUCKY
boy FOR 100000

Another big deal is now on for the
Lucky Boy and Mountain King group
at Lucky Boy, the prospective buyers
being the United States Smelling com
pany of Salt Lake City, who were
figuring on the same proposition sev-
eral months ago at 81 100000, but it
understood that "Johnnie' Miller and
associates, who control the property,
have raised the price to 100000.
Even at this price the improved con-
dition of the property still makes it
attractive enough for General Manager
Allen of the United States Smelling
company to come out from Salt Lake
City with their expert, j. +. Smith, to
examine the big mine, a work they
have peer engaged in for the last two
days.
Mr.. Miller ha sheen in Salt Lake City
for some time in the interests of the
deal, and returned to Hawthorne last
Wednesday, in advance of the repre-
sentatives of the smelling company.

PEAK SUIT
UNDER AMUSEMENT

The settlement of the statement on
motion for new trial and the hearing
of the motion in the case of Gamble VS..
Hanchett, known as the Silver Peak
case, occupied the attention of the dis
trict court before Judge Pike at R.no
this week. The motion for new trial
was presented and argued by United
States District Attorney Platt, repie-
s~enting certain of the defendants, the
Silver Peak Mines company and the
Blair estate, and was resisted by At
torney j.. w. Dorsey of San Francisco,
who represents the Gamble and Chad
bourne side of the case. Some Of tie
points made by Mr.. Platt were deemed
by the court of such Importance that
instead of ruling pro forma on the mo
tion denying the same as is frequently
the case in such motions, Judge Pike
has taken the same under advisemont,
stating to counsel that he would he

first law and motion day in December,
which will be December 4.

Gibbons Of the attorneys for the Pitts
hurr Silver Peak Mines comnany. now
operating the mines effected by the
litigation though not a party OF record
to the case, were also present during
the proceedings, as was Attorney Har

GREAT WORK UNDER WAY
AT NEVADA HILLS MINE

count of the large amount of develop
ment work yet to be done, before tn:
size and character of the mill can b.
determined. 1t is definitely settled,
however, that a mill is to be built, and
that it will be of sufficient capacity to
handle all the ore which the mine can
produce. The question of motive pow.
ar for the mill and other machinery is
under consideration. The plan of run
ming a wire from the Bishop creek
power company's line at Hawthorne, by
way of Fairview and on to Wonder,
to supply power for both camps, is
looked upon with favor. This plan calls
for the construction of the line at the
expense of the Nevada Hills and Ne
vada Wonder companies, the cost to be
returned to them in the form of re-
bates on the power bills, and the line
when paid for to be the property of
the power company. The distance
from Hawthorne to Fairview is said to
be about sixty miles.
The scheme of erecting a general
ing plant at the point where the water
of the great irrigating canal falls into
the bed of the Carson river, and where
an almost unlimited amount of power
can be generated, has been considered
by the mining companies and set aside
on account of the great expense Of
installing the plant and the fact that
satisfactory terms can not be made
with the agents of the government.
At the Fairview Eagle much work
is being done. A new ore house has
been built, and the gang of ore sort
ers is working steadily. For a short
time the crew of ore sorters was re-
duced to two, while some dead work
was being done in order to get at the
ore body from a new point, but this
work is now completed, and the full
force of ore sorters is again busy.
Sinking in the shaft is kept steadily
in progress. Nothing startling is ex-
pected from this work until sufficient
depth shall have been reached and a
crosscut run to the ledge, when great
developments are anticipated.
The water in the mine is not giving
any trouble, as the pumping plant is
capable of handling all that has thus
far been encountered.

lies exposed a stringer of gold, the pure

from $4,000 to $4,000 to the ton. This

inches wide, and Wells has exposed his
vein for so feet by drifting ON it, the

end of county, as far as the news had
reached was running into frenzied ex-
citement. Everybody that could STAN
peded to the new diggings.
SO far one sale has been reported,
A. 7. Smith, merchant of Keller having
secured for $4,000 a partial interest in
one of the adjoining groups at Bur
CESS. A party of Goldfeld mining men
who happened to be in that section lost
no time in getting to the ground.
Burgess was located a year ago last
April, and Wells has been working
alone on his claims practically all the
time since then.

While there is a conspicuous absence
Of the frothy or surface signs of a
hoom at Fairview, still it looks as
,hboueh in the near future the activity
in mining circles is bound to create
one, says the Wonder Mining News.
In all sections of the district there
is more or less work going on, and at
the big mines up the gulch there is
considerable activity. At the Nevada
Hills there is quite a crew of men
steadily employed, getting out high
grade shipping ore, and teams are
daily to be seer at the loading plat
form, taking on sacks of rich ore to be
hauled to Fallon for shipment to the
shelter. In a conversation with Mr..
Weber, the general manager of the
mine. he said that a carload Of ore has
lust been shipped which he estimates
will net the company $4,000, and these
shipments are being made with re-
markable regularity.
The policy of the company, accord
ing to Mr.. Weber, will in the future
be to make permanent improvements on
the mine while continuing to take ont
and ship high grade ore.
A new and powerful hoist has been
purchased, and all preparations made
for its installation as soon as it ar
rives. As soon as this new hoist can
be put in operation it is the intention
to resume sinking in the main shaft,
and to continue indefinitely, cutting
stations at intervals and prosecuting
to develop the ledge at the same time.
The crosscut on the 40 level is be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible to reach a point below the winze
where the rich ore was found a short
time ago, and from which the water
drove the miners. At the time OF the
talk with MI. Weber nothing had
been developed in this crosscut, but ne
expected shortly to cut the vein.. This
water is regarded more as a blessing
than otherwise, as it has solved the
problem of water for the contemplat-
ed mill for reducing the very large
quantity of high grade milling ore now
on the dump and constantly accumuiat-
ing.
The milling proposition has not at
this time assumed definite shape, on ac-

SEATTLE men BOND
GROUP AT NATIONAL

Another big deal, one of the most
important yet made in the camp OF
National, was closed this week, when
J. l.. Workman and w. S. Bonnifield
gave a lease and bond on the Radiator
group of four claims to w. l.. O'Con-
nell, d. R. Dwyer and M. j. Cummings
of Seattle, Wash. The deal was closed
through the making of a substantial
first payment on the property, and the
entire purchase price to be paid for
the property is stated on good author
ity to be in the neighborhood of $780,
900.
The group acquired by the Seattle
men consists of the Headlight No. !,
Radiator, Round and Starter claims
which were among the first locations
made by J. L. Workman, the discoverer
of the camp. No great mount OF
work has been done IN the claims, hnt
enough development has been earned
out to prove the existence OF several
well-defned veins carrying excellent
values. The Radiator group has beer
pronounced by many experts who nave
visited the camp to be one OF the mos
valuable properties in the camp an
there has been keen rivalry to secure i
among a number of prominent mining
men who have visited and thoroughly
inspected the district.
Messrs. Mcconnell, Dwyer and Cum
mings belong to the live Alaska buncl
which has been acquiring leases an
properties in the camp for severa
weeks past. They have been quietl.
looking over the district for some tim
and decided that the Radiator grou'
was one of the biggest things in tn
camp. The went after it and have %
cured the prize, which has every chanc
of developing into another of the be
nanza properties that has made Natior
al famous.
The Seattle men who have acquire
the Radiator group will commence a;
gressive development at once. Tn

PIOCHE, New, Nov. l~1.-Develop-
ments at the Phoebe Metals Mining
company Point mine are hourly grow
ing more interesting and some VISITORS
to that side Of the camp this week are
emphatic in the declaration that, ex-
cepting the Prince Consolidated, no
other property in that part of the camp
contains any more developed ore OF a
marketable grade. At any rate, the
Point mine is looking better and bet

AS heretofore published by the Gold
field News, exclusively, straws are point
ing in the direction of huge railway
shops for Goldfeld, to be used jointly
by the Tonopah 81 oldfeld, the Tono-
pah and Tidewater, and the Tonopah
and Las Vegas roads, Goldfiefd being a
terminal of all these roads, and all of
them being without shop accommoda-
tons anywhere within reasonable reach
of their terminals at the present time.
Such joint shops being planned, what
would be more natural that all parties
concerned would await Ely-Goldfield de-
velopments, especially as the leading
men of the Tonopah & Tidewater are
the men back of the proposed Ely-Gold-
fieldi To build shops to accommodate
the three roads mentioned and then
later increase their size and equipment
to accommodate the rolling stock Of
the new road would be a great and
unnecessary expense. 1t would be far
more economical to construct and equip
shops to handle all the work, at the
outset. And with the rolling stock OF
the three roads mentioned in not the
best condition, and necessitating expen-
sive trips to far-away shops for i'm
perative repairs, it is certain that un-
less the Ely-Goldield held out positive
assurances of cooperation, the shops
would be well under way at the pres
emit time.
Mcdonald Talks About New Road.
Malcolm. Mcdonald, of Tonopah, an
official of the road, president of the
First National Bank of that city, a
notable figure in the financial circles
of the state, and associated with the
Ryan and Zabriskie interests in more
than one enterprise, is the latest au-
thority making the statement that the
new road will be constructed. Mr.. Nc
Donald, albeit a sociable gentleman,
with friends all owe the state, is
close-mouthed and conservative when
it comes to business affairs, and his
statements, when made, can be depend

ELY GOLDFIELD ROAD IS
SURE TO BE BUILT SOON

That the Ely-Goldfeld railroad is coming, and that it
means an initial expenditure of close to five million of dollars,
is gaining veriication every day. In fact, that the construc-
ton of the new railroad is so nearly assured is one of the things
that makes the Goldfeld resident hopeful in spite of the other
wise comparatively dull times, y and the men who are stalk
ing their future upon the renewed life that the road would
bring are not men prone to chase will-o' the-wisps. In fact,
there is an undercurrent of feeling that the seeming unaccount-
able delay of the Tonopah & Goldfeld railway officials in per-
fecting plans for the location of their new shops, and their
hesitancy in giving out information about the same, hinges,
to a degree, upon the Hly-Goldfeld developments.
