Just Like God.

From the D1llneator.
A mother was talking to her little girl
of the love OF God to us. She repeated
the beautiful verse, For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begot-
ten Son that whatsoever believeth in Him
shall not perish, but have everlasting
life" and said, isn't it wonderful. dear
that God should love us so much as
that? " To her surprise the child replied
mo, mamma, I don't think It wonder
full" The mother said: why, daughter
don't you know that Gods love Is won
derful?" II think 1t would be wonderful
II it were any one else said the child,
but it's Just like God"

GRIZZLY BEAR MINING co.
WORKING TWO SHIFTS

The two shifts on the Grizzly Bear
lease are making record time, the shaft
going down at the rate of four feet per
day. The ground has changed consider
ably the last few days, beginning to
show signs of naturalization as the
Cleremont vein is approached. rms
vein should be cut some time during
this month as the shaft is now aboiit
235 feet in depth.
The lease has recently been extended
six months, leaving now practically
nineteen months. The management
figures the lease will be on a paying
basis by the 1st of July, 1909, at which
time the Mohawk vein should p'
reached. 1t is, however, confidently ex
pected that pay values will be en-
countered in both the Jumbo and Clere
mont veins, the former of which SHOULD
enter the Grizzly Bear ground at thu
6OO-foot level.

"cold feet" and quit.
There is a big element of chance in
mining and one must have more or less
of the ''gamble" in him, to make a
success in this line of business. Per-
haps that is what has made George II.
Phillips the success he is at mining as
well as in the wheat and corn pit of
Chicago. Several years ago, Phillips,
who was a broker on the produce ex-
change of Chicago, engineered the big
gest corn deal known to the street up
to that time. His brilliant daring at
tracted the attention of the entire
country. When he turned his attention
to Goldfeld mining those traits of
energy and daring exhibited them
selves, and when he took hold of the
Laguna lease, it was with the determin-
alton of going to CHI and gone' If
necessary to get ore. He went 700 feet
the deepest shaft in the camp at the
time, without getting a pound of ore,
and then he ran slam bang into as fine
a ledge as there is in the camp. OF
course, Phillips had a good manager
and competent mining engineer.

he produced $265 900 of gold in the
period of A days. 1t is not alone the
valuable experience and knowledge
which this young man possesses for
which the Hazel oldfeld management
and stockholders should be considered
fortunate, but also for the fearless hon
esty and high integrity which he pos
sesses and applies in all matters with
which he is connected. They can at all
times feel that their property, and the
management of it, are not only in COM
petent but safe hands.
Mr.. Fink is now preparing to place

edge and experience count, the manage
ment and stockholders will reap many
times their investment.

the Florence mill will turn out bullion
at the rate of $1,152,O00 a year and as
it is probable that the entire forty

months, the bullion output will be
double that figure. There is probably

Florence workings.

HANDICAPPED BY
HIGH FREIGHTS

But during all its ups and downs
perity and the time of its greatest
need, Goldfeld has been at the mercy
of the railroads and the smelters. The
railroads exacted enormo tribute
from all shippers of ore and the smelt-
ing trust fattened on the hugh profits
that were demanded for the treatment
of Goldfeld ores until the situation be
came so exasperating that the big mine
owners practically refused to ship any
ore. The l~easers, of course were help
less as they were working under a time
limit and were obliged to get their pro-
duet to market and take what they
could get.
There was but enc milling plant in
Goldfield treating ores of the district
with any degree of success-the Com
E~ination. But the Combination mill
was not open to treat the ores produced
by the l~easers. The capacity Of the
pant was but eighty tons a day, not
sufficient to handle the product of tins
Combination mine alone.
With the beginning of last year both
the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany and the Florence Goldfield Min
ing company began active work on the
construction of big reduction plants,
designed to adequately care for the
output of their respective properties.
The Florence had never mined on com
pany account and decided not to de-
velop it's property until its mill was
ready to begin crushing the ore. 1t
could very well afford to wait as the
property had been quite thoroughly
proven by the ~leasers who have shipped
to date ore to the value of $6,000,000,
paying the parent company 100000
in royalties.
The Consolidated, which had beer
shipping regularly from the Mohaw6
and ether properties, ceased extra, ing
ore, except whore it was absolutely
hocassary in the course of development.

GREAT STRIKES

IT was strikes like those mentioned
that caused such a frenzy of Specuia-
ton in Goldfield stocks in tie Ill of
1906, when prices scared to the sky
and brokers fought in the streets to
fill the orders of their clanorous Gus
toners from all parts of the world. The
sessions of the stock exchanges were
not long enough to transact taa bnsi-
ness and curb sales were as ha&vy .,
heavier than the board sales. Mohawk

GOING AFTER OIL IN
INDIAN SPRINGS DISTRICT

A consignment by freight of all the
regulation fossils, clays, shales, gypsum,
limestones, asphaltum, and oil sand,
which go to make up an oil field and,
in particular, the basin in and around
Indian Springs, on the L.. V. & L. rail
way between Las Vegas and Rhyolite,
has just been received at the offices
of the Pioneer Oil company of Nevada
at Goldfeld.
Here $4,000 acres nave aleady been
located, out of which experts and the
prime movers of the district have Sc
lected for the company just named,
four sections of 1850 acres of oil land
as the pick and the cream of $50
square miles. Upon this effort they
hang all their expectations and feel
confident of success since both nature
and the United States biologists lave
posted the district as coil land" The
company has room for 426 wells.
1t expects to have a standard rig on
the ground by the middle of February,
| with ample funds to make a test to q
depth of 1000 feet, though it is the
general opinion of all interested that
a producer will be brought in at a
depth of 1900 feet or less.
Oil in 1908, actually doubled in price.
The big companies are going into their
storage tanks. With increasing demand
from a thousand and one sources, oil
should again double in 1909. So long
as oil displaces coal that costs i've
times more on the coast and in Nevada,
| there is tremendous latitude for ad-
vances in price. In fact, notwlthstand-
ing her wonderful mineral resources, 1t
is not improbable that the production
of oil NAV do for Nevada what 1T has
already lone for California, exceed that
of gold as shown by the statistics for
1908.
From all evidence, Southern Nevada
seems to be upon the threshold OF =
great boom in oil, which may prove to
be as worldwide in interest as the dis
covery of gold at Tonopah, Goldfeld
and other southern camps. The opera
lions at Indian Springs and elsewhere
will be watched with interest and grea'
expectations.

MORE MILLS in
CONTEMPLATION

The C. O. ID. Consolidated Mines
company, which owns some valuable
property in the heart of the district,
and which has opened up some promis-
ing ore bodies in both the Gold Bar and
G.. O. ID. mines is also contemplating the
erection of a reduction plant. Plans
for the mill have not been finally de-
cided upon and as the ore carries a very
large per cent of copper, the process
must necessarily be materially differ
ent than those employed in the Consol-
idated and Florence mills.
The old reliable Combination mill
will also continue in service, with i
daily capacity of so tons of ore.
The milling era will make a new
Goldfeld, probably not so romantic or
exciting as the Goldfeld of the frenzied
boom, but certainly more reliable and
substantial. With the breaking of the
bonds forged by the railroads and the
smelters, Goldfeld, backed by mines of
fabulous richness is bound to make
good the boast of her friends, that she
is "The Greatest Gold Mining Camp
that the world has ever KNOWN The
new electric street railway, work on
has begun, and which will bring
the city in close communication with
the towns of D~iamondfeld, Jumbotown
and Columbia will contribute to the
early realization of that ambition.

MILLING PERIOD
HAS ARRIVED

The milling era in the Goliieli dis.
trict has arrived with the opening IF
the year 1909. The great 100 stamp
mill of the Consolidated company,
with a capacity of 500 tons every
twenty-four hours, started crushing ore
on the Goth day of December and VIII
hereafter handle all the product of the
Consolidated mines. The plant is the
most complete in the country, equipped
with every facility that human in
genuity and, skill could devise for the
successful treatment of gold bearing
rock. The process embraces amalgama-
ton, concentration and cyaniding and
the saving of values amounts to be-
tween SO and "a per cent. BY a new
process recently discovery and pat
ented by the expert metallurgists EN-
ployed by the company, concentrate
are treated at the plant instead of be-
ing shipped to a smelter, an additional
saving being thereby affected bringing
the total of values saved up to 81 per
| cent. This plant, which was a year in
building will be run on ore graded to
$40 a ton and will turn out bullion at
the rate of $s,640,000 a year. In view
of that fact the statement that the
Consolidated company will pay a quaf-
terly dividend of twenty five cents a
share, with an occasional evtra divi-
dend whenever the condition of the
treasury warrants, e~xcites no surprise.
The company is in excellent shape
financially. After paying $9O0,00O fol
the construction of the big reduction
plant and the broad gauge railroad
over which the ore is hauled from tn,
mines, it has something like 100000 il
its treasury, so that it will not be nee
essary to wait for the mill to turn on
the bullion before announcing the re
sumption of dividends. 1t is estimates
that there is from $4,000, 900 to $50,
600. 900 worth of ore blocked out in TIN
Consolidated mines, enough to keep tn,

leaders, for no apparent reason but to
further their own selfish ends. Produc-
ton was curtailed and almost ceased
and the stock market was demoralized.
The mine owners were forced to organ
ize but before the struggle ended the
panic of 1907 came to further compli-
cate the situation. Two of the camp s
banks closed temporarily and one per
manently but Goldfeld weathered the
storm in better shape than many an
older and larger city. As soon as the
financial stringency that had held the
entire country in its grasp for months
began to abate, the mine owners de.
clared their absolute independence OF
the socialistie labor element and began
to reopen the mines. The year 1905
was a hard one for the smaller COM
panies who depended on the investing
public to buy their stocks and thereby
furnish the necessary funds for devel-
opment work, but the men who had
made their money in the mines of Gold
field, were fully aware of the possibil-
tiles of the barious properties await
ing development and did not hesitate to
put their money into the ground in the
search for more wealth. The record of
several of millions in dividends paid
during the year just past shows how
well they were repaid for their faith
and Judgment.

have since carried the shaft down to a
depth of $50 feet. The compauy's en-.
gineers estimate that ore TO the value
of s~2,000,000 is now developed in the
mine and stored on the dumps, ready
for the smelling plant.
The Town of Bob
The development of the Lodi. or H.
linois mine has required the employ
ment of a large force of men and has
attracted many people to the district,
resulting in the growth of a fourishing
town on which has been bestowed the
unique name of "Bob." The town is
located close to the mine and smelter.
on gently rolling ground, is blessed with
a fine supply of pure water from the
Marble canyon springs. The pipe line
has a head of 400 feet, ~insuring an am
pie pressure for fire protection. The
location of the town, in the center of n
country -ich in minerals, ~insures it a
bright future as a trading center, which
will be augmented by the business at
tracted by the operation of the smelr-
ing plant.
North of the Lodi Mines company's
estate are two large groups of mineral
locations, owned and operated by Utah
operators, which promise a heavy pro-
duction of ores rich in silver, gold, lead
and copper. One of these corporations,
the Lodi Colo & Copper Mining com
pany, owns twenty-five claims, together
with a valuable water right.

extracted by a crude roasting process,
which is to be replaced by a modern
plant. The company is at present pro-
ducing "quick" at the rate of five

have a greater capacity. The deposit
of cinnabor, so far as development
work has been carried, is large, and
this mine promises to become a valu-
able property.

WINGED of the real merits of the dis
triet is clearly evidenced by the eager
ness of investors to put their savings
into Goldfeld stocks, a tendency never
so general and pronounced as at thu
present time.
~leasers in the Goldfeld district is so
brief a period are amazing. Equally as
rich ore has been discovered in other
mining camps, but if the history of
mining that where ore of such extraor-
binary richness is encountered the pay
streak is of small dimensions and
quickly pinches out-that was mining
history until the Goldfeld appeared on
the map-it is no longer true when cold
facts show that the Hayes-M onnette
lease produced more than $4,000, 900 in
less than nine months, the Frances
Mohawk produced $2,275,000 in l35
DAYS, the Reilly lease on the Florence
5000, 900 in three months, the Engi-
neers' lease on the Florence, more than
81, 900, 900 in less thar four months, the
Little Florence, more than $4,000 600 in
twelve months and the Combination
mine 81, 5O0,O 900 in a few months.
The Hayes-M onnette lease aston
ished the world by taking out $66ooo
worth of ore in -four DAYS and $4O.OCo
in eight hours, just as the lease was ex-
piring. 1t also has the honor of pro-
ducing at the rate of 125 pounds OF
pure gold every twenty-four hours for
thirty days and holds the record for the
richest shipment ever sent TO the
smelter, a shipment that netted the
~lcasers $574,95s.39.
The Frances Mohawk was another
record breaker, one car of ore, us 1T
was broken down across eight feet
averaging 1852 a ton, while another
car of sorted ore from the sane lease
went 1850 a ton, or $4,000 for the
shipment of eighteen tons.

THE MEN WHO ARE MAKING
A SUCCESS OF THE HAZEL

The great success of the Hazel Gold
field is due, in a great measure, to the
energetic and untiring efforts of its
young manager, who has, from the be
ginning, had u~nbornded faith in the
property, and who has shown his ten
acity of purpose, and faithfully and
honestly given his whole time, energies,
valuable knowledge and experience,
which he obtained not only in the camp
of Goldfeld, where he has been actively
connected with many of the large prop
critics, but also in Alaska where the
foundation of his now valuable expert
ence and knowledge was acquired.
Mr.. Fink is yet but a young man. He
gained valuable experience in Alaska,
where he was connected with some of
the greatest producing properties there,
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-01-09

There is no company operating in the
district that has lone more to demon
strate the possibilities of deep mining
in Goldfeld than the Hazel Goldheli
company. operating a lease on the La
una of the Goldfeld Consolidated, and
in their operations they have displayed
more nerve and persistency than any
other leasing company in the district.
Too many failures are recorded in the
leasing history of Goldheld, and most
of them can be attributed to the lack OF
.snerve'' and money to 90 to the proper
depth. The fault is not with the dis
triet. but with the tenderfeet who have
neither the Judgment, daring or money,
all of which are essentials in mining,
TO thoroughly explore a piece of ground.
Unless they get ore near the surface,
