LOWERING The WATER
in BANNER SHAFT

Webb Parkinson and associates are
rapidly lowering the water in the Ban
ner shaft on the south end of the
Booth, and when this task has been ac-
complished, will begin prosecuting for
the vein. The shaft is 200 feet deep,
and it is believed that the Red Top
vein cuts through within close proxim
ity. 1t may be possible that this piece
Of work will eventually solve the riddle
that has always baffled operators who
have tried to find the continuation of
the ore shoot in this neighborhood. The
shaft is zeal the foot Of the mountain
and close to the Columbia mountain
fault, which has undoubtedly had 9
great influence ON the throw of the big
vein. With the riddle solved, there will
be reason for other leasers to do some
big work in the locality.

AILS CONSOLIDATED?
THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR
New York Is Puzzled Over Inactivity of the

Upward Movement of the Issue

lstock. Most every broker is willing tc
agree that this is the "greatest GOLD
mine on EARTH" All concede it to bs
a stupendous factor 20 far as actual
dividend producing ability is concern
ed. But stocks are generally regarded
by the influences that are behind them
rather than by the intrinsic worth OF
the mines. So the student of the mar.
ket wants to know what is the capa.
bility and disposition of the men back
of Goldfeld Consolidated to make q
spirited market for it.
There is no individual stock on the
New York Curb which is in a better
physical condition to justify bgllish
tactics. The d~etracting feature is the
tremendous capitalization. But to off.
set this is the fact that the property
represents a consolidation of such
magnitude that it is, by comparison,
more like the organization of a min
ing district into one company than
perhaps any other stock. Looking at
it from this point of view, the capital
~ization does not seem exorbitant.

represented in the shares he holds.

it is the high capitalization. OF course
we have to figure on the number of
properties represented in the CONSOLE
dation. 1t is conservative to place a
valuation of from 100000 to $10,-
600, 900 on the Combination and an
equal amount on the Mohawk. The
total issued capitalization is about

SEVEN TROUGHS CONS. co.
TO TEST IT'S MILL ORES

MAZUMA, New, Oct. 27.-The Con-
solidated lease operating on the Signal
Peak property has practically conclud-
ed arrangements for a test run OF It's
ore at one Of the local mills. This is
the information given out by Superin-
tendent John Duke this week.
The ore which will be run is that
which is being taken out in raising and
sinking in the tunnel about 1900 feet
from the portal. The u will start
about the first ~proximo.
1t was recently stated that John
Cleghorn Of the Consolidated lease had
left for Salt Lake to take up with his
company the question of installing
mill on the ground, and the test run
now to be made is confirmation of that
statement.
In speaking of the lease Mr.. Duke
said that at the point where he is now
working in the tunnel the showing il
exceptional. The ore shoot is from
twelve to eighteen inches wide and car
ries values from $40 to $50, the aver
age being probably $50.
The vein was first opened on surface
where good paintings were had. Mex

roRMER aoLDFIEID SPORT
COMMITS SUICIDE

Mike Catalan is in receipt OF a teie-
gram to the effect that Thomas Dale
had committed suicide at Las vegas,
by shooting himself in the head. Dale
had told some people at Las Vegas that
he was the proprietor of a gambling
house in Goldfeld, and it is learned
that he was here a short time ago ana
was negotiating with a view to taking
over the gambling concession II the
Palace saloon. He had returned SOUTH
however, without closing the deal. NO
motive for his suicide is known.
Dale was well known in the south
western part of the state, in cailente'
Las Vegas and other towns in that see
ton, as well as at Rhyolite. While ne
had lived in Goldfeld he was well
known here.

present selling prices Of stock, less
than $25,O00,O0O actual. On a most
conservative allowance Combination
and Mohawk are well worth much
over half this valuation. If there is
a questionable value represented in
this big capitalization it is in the prop
critics other than the two above
named.'
Still, there are those who believe
that the Combination and Mohawk
alone represent the total valuation of
the issued shares at par. They con-
tend that the mine possesses far
greater future promise than any other
with such a dividend record. Gold
field Consolidated has apparently
justified its large capitalization by be-
coming the greatest dividend-paying
gold mine in the world. Certainly it
possesses more in the prospective
than other propositions and cannot be
classed as worked out in this early
stage of its development.
These are a few of the reasons why
brokers and the market,wise have
their ear to the ground looking for
something to be doing in this unusual
security. 1t may be that the present
control is satisfied with the earnings
and development of the mine and does
not care further for the making of
a market. Even if that be true, there
have always been plenty of %independ-
ent brokers who are anxious To carry
through a manipulation of a bull ma
ture upon a stock which will merit
the advance that increased activity
would give to it. This manipulation
from outside influences is not only
possible, but probable. If tradition is
to be believed, one stock exchange
house made an independent fortune by
manipulation in this same security
when 81 was regarded as a top price
for the stock.
Some over-confdential persons be-
lieve that the opportunity is here
again. Goldfeld Consolidated, they
~ingenuously opine, can readily be sent
to $12 without suspicion. A price Of
this character on such a stock would
call for some criticism, but not a great
deal. Many firmly believe that the
stock will eventually creep to that
point on it's actual merit and earning
power. A bull movement might drive
the price there and leave it there. A
bull movement, well supported, could
drive it far above the $12 mark.

q crosscut tunnel was driven that pene.
trated the vein at a depth Of 100 feet.
Here the values were better and more
consistent. 1t was then decided to
drive the tunnel on which the company
has been working for several months in
order to get sufficient depth to demon
strate the ore body and also to furnish
ground for stopping. Tie result Of the
work have more than justified the de.
cision Of the company.
While no ore is being stopped out as
yet, still under the system now en-
ployed, stopping can start at any time
that the company is in shape to handle
the ore. An upraise is being driven at
one end of the shoot and a Wine at
the other and these viii be continued
indefinitely. At the bottom of the
winze which is about 600 feet from
surface the vein is fmm eighteen to
t~wenty-four inches in width and yields
highest assays.
The Signal Peak property is II OF
the best located in the district and the
present indications pint to it as
destined to be one of the best pro-
ducers.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 26.-The Min
ing Record prints the following from
its New York correspondent: What il
the matter with Goldfeld Cons.f
Has the name of Goldfeld lost its
magics Has the speculative era in
Goldfeld Cons. pasti Is the stock set
Ting down to a stage of inactivity like
the old Cripple Creeksf
Or is the present control content
with dividend profits and Indifferent to
the market featuresi
Ever since Mr.. Hayden resigned from
the directorate there has been mystery
surrounding this stock. MI. Hayden
resignation was ostensibly due to the
statement made in his market letter
that Goldfeld Cons. was worth but lit.
tie more than its selling price at that
time. Popular opinion held that there
was something more back of the Hay
den, Stone & Co. announcement than
was publicly proclaimed.
The subsequent action of the direc-
tors meeting in filing the vacancy
with a Wingfeld man showed an ihdif
ference toward New York. The effect
of this, however, was not particularly
serious from a market point of, view.
The stock during the past two months
has fuctuated between $3.50 and
$7.37h, with a tendency toward the
lower figures. There have been rumors
Of big movements, backed by not one
but several stock exchange houses.
There has been a persistent belief in
the minds Of many independent brcE-
ers that a boom in Goldfeld Cons. was
imminent.
The belief prevailed that with the
session of the Mining Congress Gold
field, important news would be released
which would inspire a stock boom. I'M
p~ortant news has been released and is
being given out all the time, but IT
does not seem to affect the activity in
the shares.
With the recent squirt in Comb;ra-
ton Fraction, Goldfeld optimists said
it was the beginning of the upward
trend. Bets were posted that Con-
solidated would reach $3.50 by Octo-
Der Is.
Still, the stock gropes along at the
same old figure with possibly a lower
ing tendency.
There seems to be no one on the
"street" to decry the value OF the

I0S ANGELES after
mining CONGRESS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27.-James r.
Callbreath Jr., secretary of the Amer'-
can Mining Congress, will be here with
in the next two weeks and an effort
will be made to get his ear for the next
meeting of the congress to be held IN
Los Angeles. He will be entertained
by the miners at the Sierra Madre club.
AS yet, nothing has been heard from
the directors as to their decision as
to the meeting place, which will be
made by a mail ballot. Mr.. Callbreafh
win be consulted as to the form IN
which the directors desire the city s
proposition to be submitted. The min'
ing men are prepared to undertake &c
raise $4,000 or more, if necessary, to
the fund for pushing legislation at
Washington. This can be accomplished
by the placing Of only fifty life mem
berships costing 800 each. For these
those interested in mining, metal OF
oil. are desired. These include ma
chinery and supply men. Probably q
committee will be named representing
California, Nevada and Arizona to pass
upon such applications. The theory
is that the congress naturally prefers
members who will continue permanent
ly to take an interest, not simply act
until the next meeting is over and then
Quit. Others than mining men inter
ested will be encouraged to take ordi
nary memberships at $50, covering
initiation and one years dues.
Los Angeles miners are confident
that Spokane is this city's only serious
rival, cannot bid higher than this.

sTITE ENGINEER ON THE
CONDITIONS IN NEVADA

people seem to forget that Nevada
has great agricultural resources as well
as great mines, in their mad search for
hidden lodges Of gold, but they are be-
ginning to realize the vast resources of
this state as an agricultural country
and are beginning to form irrigation
projects and cut large tracts of land
into small farms which will soon mean
fortunes for the present owners of the
land and prosperous homes for the PEG
pie who settle upon the farms"
Bannock's Golden Caverns.
In speaking Of Bannock, the new
camp near Battle Mountain, Engineer
Nicholas said:
"One of the greatest gold stampedcs
ever occurring in this state is now on
at Bannock. 1t is almost impossible 20
secure a bed at Battle Mountain and
people are aocking into Bannock from
that point. There are four autos MAX
ing many trips each day between Battle
Mountain and Bannock and many rigs
are also hauling prospectors into the
new camp.
"The discovery ON the Wilhelm mine
is one of the greatest / have ever seen.
On that claim a seam of almost pure
gold has been opened for a depth Of 16
feet. 1t is about an inch wide on the
surface and sixteen inches wide on the
bottom and it is more than go per cent
solid gold with the other 40 per cent
scanned with gold. The entire ledge
which is quite wide carries good values,
but this seam is undoubtedly the rich
est and the most peculiar ever discover
ed any place in the world. The owners
are saving it for biologists to view and
will allow government biologists to Sc
cure a drawing Of it. 1t is in reality q
pyramid sixteen feet high with a six
teen inch base and a pointed top, and
constructed by nature of almost solid

"Near Beowawe is the new town of
Kearns where Captain Menardi, Patsy
Clark Of Montana and his two sons are
operating some rich mines. They are
not the only mine owners in the camp
but they probably W the richest prop
critics in the camp.
SIN this camp Mark Murgrove IS
conducting the 'Kearns Slogan a

houses are going up. 1t will be one Of
the prosperous camps Of the state.
"In a few days 1 will 60 down into
Clark county where they are expert
menting with artesian wells for agri-
cultural purposes. I will inspect the
system and the ground and will report
to the secretary Of the interior upon it..
1t is the purpose of the people of that
county to have this land thrown open
for settlement under the Carey act and
it is my duty to inspect it and report
on it SO that this may be done.

Of making a good map that was not the
real purpose of his visit to the eastern
norton of Nevada. He spent some
time in the Humboldt Valley investi-
eating the water rights and protected
irrigation schemes and also the soil of
that valley clear to Palisade. He says
that there are 100000 acres of rich
soil similar to the fertile Utah soil OF
the Salt Lake and Ogden valleys. This

yided up into 10000 farms of 200 acres
each and thus furnish homes for 10000
people. He says that there is very lit
