HUBBARD TAKES PARTING
LOOK AT BONANZA LEASE

j. d. Hubbard, vice-president of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines company
and principal owner of the famous
Hubbard lease on the Lucky Boy, ar
rived in Goldfeld Tuesday on matters
connected with the big lease, which ex-
pires July 81.
Mr.. Hubbard states that his visit
at this time has no particular signif,
eance, as he usually makes at least
two visits to Goldfield each year. He
has been inspecting some of the big
ore bodies in the Consolidated mine
and also visited the big mill in
company with General Manager Mac
kenzie. He went to Lucky Boy Thurs
day to take parting look at the big
lease, and Immediately thereafter re
turned to Chicago.
.'There has been a great revival OF
good times in the east during the last
few weeks, and the panic is almost for

and remarkable Improvement in every
line. Times are fairly booming in Chi
capo, and the same can be said Of the
east in general.
This should within the near future
result in better business conditions in
the west, and Goldfield and other Ne
vada mining camps can not fail to
again receive the attention Of invest
ors. consider Goldfeld the best min
ing section in the entire country, and
there is every reason to believe that 1t
is soon to experience great renewal OF
mining activity.
Reverting to the subject Of newspa-
pers. Mr.. Hubbard said:
~ consider The Goldfield News the
best mining newspaper there is in the
United States | consider it an author
ity that can be depended upon to give
the public the facts, without exageer-
alton. and that is exactly what tie
public wants. Ths News is to be con
graduated upon it's unquestioned
standing as an exponent Of the mining
interests of Goldfeld and Nevada.

of Esmeralda county. The two towns
are about five miles apart by the wag
or road. The hill has generally
north and south direction, sloping to
the east at about 25 degrees, its for
nation of lime and granite, covered
sparsely with stunted pines, standing
out sharply against darker formation
on either side of the main ridge. From
out on the desert the white tents and
unpainted buildings, which spread ont
upon its slope, glimmer in the sunlight
by day, and the lighted village and
gallows frames are scintillating bea-
con for the traveller by night.
The Lucky Boy Mountain King vein,
which is the principal one thus far
opened in the camp, is strong fissure
cutting through the lime and granite
from east to west, and is easily traced
from near the base of the hill to the
top, a distance of at least mile and

is being done well up on the ridge,

of tracing the vein, the course OF

There is a decided Improvement in
the appearance of the ledge that was

the Atlanta few days ago, and IT
looks as though ore may soon make i's

considerable oxidization, the latter fea-
