O. b. L. Chicago.-The Pollard-flor-
enee. after a long struggle seems to
have been compelled to throw up is
hands. The company put down a Soo-
foot shaft and did considerable explor-
ing through lateral work, but never sue
ceeded in getting a pound OF ore. ms
was a great disappointment as the
cro,nd is at the south of Florence hill,
adjoining, almost, the famous leases Oh
,h. Little Florence. and Rogers Syndi-
.ote Where the rich ore of these leases
ooes has become a great mystery to
onerators. 1t seemingly cut square of,
far the lodges have been prospected for
in every direction around the n OF
the Hill, and so far not a pound OF tine
Florence high grade has been found
yyork was done on the Pollard as re-
Gently as last month, but we understand
that the lease is now as good as Tor
fe;ted. although further concessions OF
time would have been made II the FOL
lard people could make a snow OF
money.
J. w. c., Binghampton, N. Y.-The
ground at one time owned by the uoid-
field Noble Mining company, was re-
located Jan. 1, 1908, for lack OF re-
ouired assessment work during l9o'.
II is understood that the ground was
AGAIN relocated by different parties
Jan. l. 1909, the latter parties claiming
that the ground was improperly re-
located in January, 1908. The Goldheld
Noble people, however, seemingly ig-
more these reloeations. We are not ait
vised as to the merits of the ease, espe-
eiallv as to the second relocation. VIII
investigate thoroughly this phase OF the
subject and also as to the merits of the
ground and purported developments, as
claimed by Motley & Co., the fiscal
agents of New York. In the meantime,
90 very slow in the matter of investing
in Goldfeld Noble stock, as there is
sure to be a bad mix-up over the title
to the ground.
w. A. N, San Francisco. PLEASE tell
us what Gold Crest mine you mean;
where it is located and names OF officers.
There are several Gold Crest mines in
the state. There is a Gold Crest mine
at Gold Mountain, comprising 30 or
more claims in a solid group. There
was trouble in the directorate between
the San Carlos and the Milwaukee con
t~ingents which lead to a reorganization
of the company and the payment of an
indebtedness of $4,000 incurred by the
former management. Z. H. McVicke-
and H. j. Keyser, both of Milwaukee,,
are president and secretary, respec-
lively. Captain Fitch and sons have a
lease on some of the Gold Crest ground,
and recently a report reached Goldfeld
that they had uncovered very rich ore.
This Gold Crest company is a little
north of Gold Mountain, near Tokop.
J.. L. M, Blake, Neb.--Cannot give
you exact information on the Sylvanite
company you are asking about. Syl-
vanite camp is in New Mexico. We
have conflicting reports about its prob
able ~permanency. Most of the Gold
field operators who have gone into the
camp have returned with adverse re-
ports. They say there is not an ounce
OF sylvanite in the entire region, the
contrary of which might naturally be
expected from the name of the camp;
the formation is unusual. Nevertheless.
there seems TO be some rich surface
workings there; anyhow, "gold is
where you find it," according to the old
saying. The camp is being pretty thor
oughly doomed and it looks like the
work of professionals.
B. T. M, Nashville, Tenn.-In a gen
eral way would say that the feeling
among the largest operators and best
posted mining men of the district is
very optimistic over the future of the
camp. There are unmistakable evil
dences of a widening of the producing
zone, and when mines are found to the
cast and south of the Consolidated and
Florence ground, as now seems assured,
it means great things for Goldfeld, and
a certain revival of interest in the dis
trict. Better mining is now being done
than ever before and significant results
may be expected.
J. F. G., Los Angeles. The property
of which you ask, and which promised
so much, has been worked only inter
mittently for the past year, the people
behind it being short of funds. The
oil territory that is attracting interest,
is in the general direction and locality
of the mine, but do not see how it would
have any bearing upon the property
one way or another.
J. g., Akron, O.-The Rogers Round
Mountain property is being worked by
a leaser who has a shaft down $50 feet
and will go to the 500 point. Good mill
ing values have been developed. The
property is favorably located, the COM
pany has no debts and while out of
cash, has a good reserve of treasury
stock. No money ia noadad houu.
