VULTURE COMPANY ISSUES
INTERESTING PROSPECTUS

An interesting and comprehensive
prospectus has just been issued by the
vulture Mining company, for the in
formation of stockholders and to as
sist in the regeneration of the prop
erty, which is located in the Wonder
mining district, Churchill county
Thos. F. Manning, president of the
company, reviews the history of the
property and the complications IN
which it has been involved, and sets
forth the future pIans of the COM
pany. The mine has recently been
thoroughly sampled by E. V. Schulze, a
mining engineer at Wonder, and the
result of his sampling is given in
about fifty assays that show remark
ably good values, ranging as high as
$4,000 per ton in gold and silver,
the average Of the whole being about
$35 per ton. About 60 per cent. of the
samples carry values between SIS and
$50. A crosscut is now being driven
from the main tunnel, at a point 300
feet in from the portal, to tap the
vulture vein, which is approximately
fifty feet south of the tunnel and run
ming parallel with it. The vein viii
be drifted on and thoroughly prospect
ed from this level, and a comprehen-
sive plan of development carried out.

GOLDEN NUGGET FINDS
BIG STREAK OF RICH ORE

SEARCHLIGHT, Aug. 11.-An unus
ually good strike of ore is reported
to have been made by the Golden Mug
get company on the Black Crook
claim.
1t was made under the direction OF
John Howe while doing the
assessment work. In this instance he
built a platform about half way down a
50-foot shaft at a point where values
had been passed. Here in drifting a
very few feet was encountered -four
feet of ore of which samples are said
to run up to the 500 mark.
Mr.. Howe stated that he had sam
pied the rock and sent them inside to
the company. He knew it was very
lively looking quartz, but had no idea
of the exceptional values.
Nj. Usrey of Redondo, secretary and
treasurer of the Golden Nugget com
pany, was here recently and stated ths
now contracts would be let that would
result in thorough opening up.
This property is finely situated be
tween the Lenape and Pompeii mines
also it adjoins the Oregon ON the north

BIG MOUNTAINS OF BORATE
ORE IN DEATH VALLEY

With the exception of the Grand
Canyon, there is probably no more
famous locality in the west than
Death Valley, known as the '"vale be-
low the sea-" and although there are a
number of Mount Blancos in the Great
American desert, the Mount Blanco OF
Death Valley is the greatest of its
name.
1t rises like an enormous white
breast against the terra Gotta ridge OF
Funeral Range, close to Furnace
Creek Canyon, a great rent that
cleaves the east rampant of Death Val
ley. Around it is a rolling waste OF
bald yellow hills zone of which is a
mere knoll, and it towers a good 1000
feet above them. The lowland of
Death Valley, sinking for several miles
westward, is probably $500 feet lower.
No ledge or series of lodges any
where in the world contains the i'm
mense amount of borate quartz shown
on the surface of this mountain OF
Colemanite. 1t is a body of ore meas
uring 100 feet in width and 5000 feet
in length, pitching into the mountain
range at a 33-degree angle. 1t is a bo-
rax quarry whose Limitation cannot be
roughly con~jectured, but it must exceed
by thousands of ton any known Dor
ate deposit.

Slowly. but surely, Goldfeld is evolv-
ing from its primitive condition OF nn-
certain land boundaries and titles to
a we'll established and "well- grounded =
community; for Tuesday j. H. Parks,
the surveyor, began surveying the
townsites of Goldfeld and South Gold
field preparatory to the issuing OF deeos
BY the government trustee, Judge The
ron Stevens.
As is well known, the ground upon
which most of Goldfeld is situated re-
verted to the government some time
ago, by reason of the TOWNSHIP claim
ants failing to qualify for a patent
The government thereupon appointed
Judge Theron Stevens trustee, for the
purpose of issuing to individual claim
ants deeds to such lots as they claim
by reason Of occupancy and improve
ment. The trustee has full charge OF
the TOWNSHIP and he can now be regard
ed as the father of the city. 1t u

this morning. He calculates that i.
will take him until Christmas to finish
the lob. Claimants. in the meanwhile,
will be expected to file their claims
with Judge Stevens just the same. The
fees will not have to be paid until
the patent is issued which will be
after the survey is completed; for I'M
til that time, it will be impossible to
determine just what will be the cost
of each lot; for in addition to what
must be paid to the government, will
be the proportionate share of the ex-
pense of the trusteeship, surveying,
printing, publishing, ETC., etc. It is
not probable, however, that the full
cost of lots will be more than $50;
still it is too early to predict with
any accuracy. But when the deed
is finally issued, the lot owner will
have a deed direct from the govern
ment-the best title in the world and
certainly worth to the owner the
small amount it will cost.
That portion of Goldfeld, known OF
icially as North Goldfeld, being al
that ground lying north of Grand stree
is under a different jurisdiction from
that of Goldfeld and South Goldfeld
and titles will have to be secured
through a different process, applica
ton having to be made to the LAM
office at Carson City.

A report from Reno says that George
Wingfeld and a party of railway men,
capitalists and promoters, are now
touring the Mono Lake country In
search of timber lands and water pow
Ier rNhts with a view of building "a
railway from Columbus Marsh on the
Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad to Mono
lake for the purpose of furnishing tim
hers for the mines of Goldfield and
Tonopah district, and also for estab-
fishing a power plant Of large dimen'
sions. A. H. Howe, secretary of tn.
Gold6eld Consolidated Mines company,
declares that he has no information on
the subject that could affirm the re-
port, and expresses the belief that the
party is out for pleasure only. The
report from Reno says:
RENO, New, August IA party
Of as complete an aggregation of CAPT.
~talists, railroad men and promoters OF
business enterprises as ever caught a
fish without fishing tackle, has left
Reno prepared for a long trip In
George Wingfeld's auto, bound for
Mono lake ostensibly on a fishing ex-
%eursion, but actually, it is rumored, to
plan to secure a rich timber tract n
tlild a railroad from Columbus Marsh
on the Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad
due west to. Hp4o lake on the Bridge
port & Bodie line.
The object is said to be the securing
the immense timber tracts near Mono
lake to supply the voracious demands

CONSOLIDATED MAY EXPAND
SAYS REPORT FROM RENO

of the Goldfeld Consolidated mines of
Goldfeld and Tonopah which yearly
use over 100000 feet of timber.
The party consisted of George Wing
field, who is now solely in charge OF
the Nixon ingfeld mine holdings,
according to the recent announcement;
Charles E. Knox, president of the Mon
ana-Tonopah Mining company; G. M.
Hobbs, formerly general manager OF
the Nevada-California Power company;
G. o. Whittemore, a well known rail-
road man; and C. J.. Sadleir, who in
tends to stop off at Carson and join
the party later at Mono lake.
Although it was grven out that the
party was merely a fishing party, and
not on business bent, it is known that
the problem of getting sufficient pine
timber for the Tonopah and Goldfield
mines is becoming an important one
to be solved in the neal future.
An option has been held by some
of the mining interests on large tracts
surrounding Mono lake, and a survey
has been made from Columbus Marsh
almost due west to the lake for a rail
road that would solve the transpor-
tation problem.
In addition there is said to be plenty
of good water power propositions IN
the Mono lake country, and it would
not surprise some who have kept an
eve on the southern country to find
that a new corporation was about to be
financed, combining railroad and power
interests in the southern country.

This will be a large item and will mean
o considerable saving for the COMMITTEES
having in hand the expenses of the
congress.
The mineral exhibit from Esmeralda
county, as at present arranged, will
start from one end of the room with
a handsome collection of sulphur from
Cuprite, including a specimen of almost
pure sulphur, weighing 200 pounds
Ida will be next, with a splendid col
lection of lead-silver ore from the Cen
tennial mine, showing copper values,
end highly oxidized. The Hornsilver
collection will arrive in a few days,
according to the Russell brothers and
Crane. Gold Mountain has sent in two
sacks of mill ore, with more to follow,
The other camps of the county will be
in the order following: Silver Peak,
Montezuma, Diamondfeld, Goldfeld,
Sodaville, Nina, Luning, Hawthorne,
Aurora, Schurz and Rawhide.
If there is anyone in the state Of
Nevada who has an idea that the min
eral exhibit to be displayed during the
meeting of tn American Mining con-
gress will rbt be all that has been said
of it, a cassil glance at the heaps of
letters from the various districts Of
the state should at once dispel any
doubts. All of the letters, withou.
exception, SHOW the interest that is
being taken in Z exhibit, and the
consensus of opinf judging from the
letters, is that the mineral exhibit will
be the greatest possible benefit to Ne
vada.
The letters show that there will be
many splendid collections Of ore includ-
ed in the mammoth exhibit to be shown
in the Mineral Palace, one of the feat
ures of the Letters being the interest
being shown by districts that were
famous fifty and seventy-fve years
ago., and which now are undergoing a
strong revival.
The famous exhibit of Helen M.
Schneider, of Eureka, valued at $780,
900, will be included in the exhibit, and
will be shipped to Goldfeld in a few
days. It has been shown in all OF
the world fair expositions for the last
fifteen or twenty years, having been
sent to expositions in Paris and other
parts of the European continent, show
ing more recently in the Worlds fail
at st. Louis. The collection now is IN
st. Louis. 1t includes 300 pieces
which it takes 81 cases to hold.
