STRIKE ON MAYFLOWER
FIXES ALL EYES ON PIONEER

cleanup from the property will be in
teresting in many ways.
Leasers Are Busy.
Leasers are busy all over the hills
and roads are being built to variou:
properties that hosting machinery ans
equipment may be hauled to them. Tex
Rlckard has a hoist EN- route for his
lease on the X. X. claim; +. s. Giles
will have a big hoist going in a few
days on the Savage, and Giles and
Milliken will soon have a hosting
plant on the Indiana; Henry Bell will
soon have a hoist on the Bimetallic No.
: claim, a little north of the Pioneer
lease; A. l.. Lidwell will soon have a
hoist on his lease on the Valley View
property; the owners of the Jolly Jane
lease of the Pioneer Extension Mines
company will soon have a big hoist
putting over the 500 foot shaft they
have well started; the Pioneer Leasing
company has a big compressor and
hosting equipment en- route from the
coast to be installed on the big lease
so that ore extraction may be rushed
during the remaining ten months of the
lease, and the Bullfrog Pioneer Mines
company will soon have a hoist going
on their working shaft which is going
down to the northwest of the Pioneer
lease, and but one hundred feet away.
A dozen or so leases will soon be
signed up on the estate of the May
flower Bullfrog Consolidated Mines
company mainly ON the Starlight claims
of this estate, and all of these ~leasers
will be men who have the means to
rush work. The strike on the May
flower, coupled with the fine showing
which is being made by the little mill
of that company, has stimulated the
interest of the ~leasers.
Town Boom Slackens.
Townsite activities have lessenel
quite a bit during the week, and more
attention is being paid to the mining
end of the camp. Telephone and tele-
graph service now connect Pioneer with
the outside world, and the Pioneer Wat
er company is preparing for the con
struction of a pipe line into camp
which will supply water for all uses.

JACK CAMPBBELL WILL WOO
FORTUNE IN NORTHWEST

jack Campbell who, accompanied
by James A. Anderson, left Wednesday
for the interior of British Columbia,
Is reported to be going on a deal
that in magnitude will eclipse any at
tempts to WOO Dame Fortune that he
has made before. 1t is due to the ef-
forts of Mr.. Anderson that Campbell
feeame interested and the final outcome
o. the trip will hinge upon Mr.. Camp
BELLS decision.
Mr.. Anderson is part owner and con-
'rois by options nearly $4,000 acres o:
iand lying between Prince Rupert il
british Columbia and the central
hoekies. The land takes in those val
Nys known as the Buckley and
Nechaco valleys and is said to consist
I'll Immensely valuable coal and agri
cultural lands as well as great tracts u
'imoer. While neither of the men in
''rested are willing to discuss the de
'"'is OF their plan to capitalize and
operate this immense tract of land witt
~ varied resources they admit thai
'neif present plan involves the estab
nSnment of townsites and the sale Of
farms In the agricultural sections. The
""oer and coal lands will be handled
,Aeiusiveiy by the corporation which
,ney Will form after arriving at Prime,
rupert According to Mr.. Campbell
ana Anderson, upon arriving al
iihee Rupert will strike out for tn,
~'efior and make a careful inspection
OF the ground.

WILL SHIP FROM KEYSTONE.

NJ. H. McCord was in from the Key
stone group the first of the week and
reported conditions very promising,
says the Blair Press. Upon his return
on Wednesday he expected to begin
cleaning out an old incline shaft in
which he has found a considerable
quantity of ore exposed that promises
to GO a long ways toward paying ex-
penses of development. Mr.. McCord
thinks he will experience no difficulty
in securing a shipment of ten tons o.
more within the next two weeks which
will net 800 per ton. A former owne-
sunk the shaft to a depth of forty feet,
and then, apparently, filed it up. On
the surface the ledge upon which work
was begun, had a width of about Is
inches.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-03-13

#, and hosting equipment will be in.
stalled Just as soon as needed. This set
of leasers have the money to prosecute
work, and as they are on a choice piece
OF ground. on the formation on which
are located the Mayflower and the Pho
neer, they should develop something of
interest.
Other Leases.
The Herkelrath lease on the Bluff
claim of the Valley View estate IS
looking good, and the shaft which is
Icing sunk there, at a depth of 10
feet, is showing values which are en-
couraging to the leasers.
The Jolly Jane lease, on the claim of
that name of the Pioneer Extension
company. is looking better all the time,
and the whole shaft is one now which
assays 1920. On the other end of the
same claim, the parent company is
doing active work on a shaft which
is scheduled to go down 500 feet. We
understand that power hosting ap-
paratus has already oeen arranged for,
and will soon be put in place.
Indiana Looking Good.
The shaft which is being put down by
E. S. Giles and VIM. Millikan on the
Indiana property, but 12O feet from the
shaft of the Pioneer lease and on
ground through which it is generally
admitted the rich lead which has been
opened on the lease cuts, is in line for
a sensation now most any day. The
shaft is down some so feet, and a pow
er hoist will soon be in place. AS the
shaft is started some so feet lower than
was the shaft on the Pioneer lease, It
is regarded, from values of rock which
is brought up, and from the formations
in general, that this shaft will soon be
at a depth equivalent to 100 on the
lease, where the rich ore shoot was
struck.
Good Saving at Mayhower.
The Mayfower mill is dropping its
stamps continuously on rock which will
approach the SIS mark, and while the
ore is 50 dense and tough that only
about IL to IA tons per day can be
crushed by the five stamps, the plates
in the amalgamation tanks have to be
dressed daily, as high as IS ounces OF
amalgam having been taken from the
plates in dressing up, only. The

is now merely a matter of days, if not
hours.
Parafine Oil
The oil is a high grade, hav-
ing a ~parafine base. Before being
struck at Blair it was asserted
that a parafine oil would be
found there. At Mono the wells
produce the highest grade Of para,ine
known to the oil market; in several
places zeal the we'll one can dig down
for eighteen inches and get an oil that
will burn in a lamp, it is so pure.
Practically the same conditions prevail
at the Blair well. A stick thrust into
the salt marsh anywhere, and with
drawn will be followed by a bubble
which when opened and lit will burn
brightly for several seconds. There are
several crevices in the vicinity out Of
which comes a natural gas that Will
burn. The entire country is a living
proof of the existence of oil. The sur
face is covered with o~dtcroppings or
deposits of asphaltum which, although
exposed to the action of the elements
for countless years, when placed in =
basin of warm water will dissolve into
a greasy mass that is free from grit
and is an excellent lubricant. These
outward evidences, all that an oil man
asks for, form in~controvertible evidence
that the oil is there and now that the
precious fluid itself has been brought
to the light of day, assurance has been
made doubly sure.
Means Much to Nevada
The discovery of oil means to Ne
vada additional prestige as the wonder
state of not only of this country but Of
the world. Not only has it within its
borders the richest and greatest mines
of gold and silver known to history
hut the minerals within it's mountains
comprise all that are known to science

ELY TO GOLDFIELD ROAD
TO BE BUILT THIS YEAR

Reno, Nevada, March IA dispatcl
from New York to the Mining FfnanciaI
News, says:
The Ely-GOldfeld railroad will be
built, and no time will be lost in the
work according to the statements made
today by c. b. Zabriskle, who is secre-
tary and treasurer of the Tonopah and
Tidewater railroad Of the Pacific Coast
Borax company.
1--WE have sent instructions to john
Ryan, general manager of the Tonopah
and T~idewater, to put a corps of engi-
neers in the field to survey the line.
As soon as we have ascertained the
most feasible route, graders will be put
to work and track-layers will follow
them closely said Mr.. Zabriskle to-
day. 1.-THE work will be pushed from
both ends of the line. Much depends on
weather conditions, but / think we
should have the route finally determined
upon some time in August. BY Septem-
her l we should be ready to begin con
struetion.'
Is Well Financed.
A very strong syndicate of New York
and Western interests have decided to
build the road and Mr.. Zabriskle is the
man who has been selected to take the
initiative and carry the project through.
In this syndicate are +. Nj. Smith and
Mr.. Zabriskie, who are the chief off
Gals in the Tonopah and Tidewater
railroad; Max Bernheimer, a wealthy
New Yorker who was recently elected
president of the Montgomery Shoshons
company, and who is heavily interested
in other Nevada mines; w. b. Thomp-
son, vice president of the Cumberland
Ely company and heavily interested "a
other Ely mining properties, and Frank
G. Armstrong, who is associated with
Mr.. Thompson in his mining enterprises.
This syndicate will have no financing
to do before going ahead with the
actual work. 1t will construct and
equip the road and then a company will
be organized to take the road over AMI

company of the Bay State of Boston.
Although it is conceded by those inter
ested in the local well that the hackers
of the enterprise are Boston capitalists
they have been averse to disclosing the
names of these hackers. 1t has been
stated on what is considered good au-
thority, that the man behind the financ-
ing of the local enterprise as well as
hundreds Of others throughout the oil
fields of this country, is none other
than Thomas w. Lawson. Lawson or
g~anized the parent company in Boston

OIL IN NEVADA is PROVEN BY RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS AT WELL NEAR BLAIR

And now it stands on the threshold If
an economic and industrial develop
ment that will overshadow in import
ance the impetus that the mining dis
coveries gave the state, through the dis
covery of oil; for all these minerals
hail oil as king. 1a
Through good and plentiful fuel oil,
in a local field, will come the develop
ment of numberless properties that to-
day lay idle for lack of proper power.
With it's operation and the erection Of
hundreds of derricks thousands of new
people will come to the state. Today
the production of oil in California rep
resents an annual amount far in excess
of the mineral production in that state
and the production of oil in Nevada
will likewise double and treble its
wealth.

gusher." Mr.. Pitts, who has drilled
some of the biggest producers in Texas
and other oil fields declares that he has
never seen as promising a well as this
enc has turned out to be. "Just LOOK
at this Trenton oil shale,' he sal |,
showing a burned piece of shale with
the oil thickly spread on it, "this
came from below and l put it in the
fire and as you can see, there is the
oil. Every time the bit comes up this
shale is sticking to it and every bit
of this shale is full of oil. There is a
tremendous pressure down there which
forces the oil up into the shale and By
the time we have got down a little
farther the shale which acts as a cap
ping for the oil strata will be less able
to withstand that pressure and the re
suit will be that the oil will force It's
way through in larger quantities. IL
is in this way that the gushers appear,
due to the constant pressure of the oil
seeking an outlet and from the press
ure / am satisfied that we will have ID
big gusher here"

Trenton Shale in Evidence

The shale that appears in the Blair

shale and is of a blue color and heavily
impregnated with oil. 1t comes in d
loose mass and is i~nterspersed with 4
solidifed shale. Through this sha!e
come streaks of oil sand which, when
encountered, supply several quarts o.
oil with each dip of the "bailer.' Both
these streaks of oil sand and the oil in

Immediately after the shooting the
robbers left without booty. The in
jured man was sent to the Ogden
general hospital The officers re-
ceived a fair clue and 1t is thought
the robbers will be run down.
The Denver & Rio Grande dining
car arrived in Ogden on Monday af-
ternoon's train and was taken to the
yards north of the corner of Twenty
first street and Reeves avenue. Og-
den, where 1t was cleaned and pre-
pared to go out on the early morning
train. The crew, which consisted of
seven white men, had beds made
down in the car ready to leave in the
morning. After the night switch en-
gine had attended to all the neces-
sary switching and had left the yards,
the robbers gained entrance to the
car. That the robebrs knew that
Eldredge was the conductor and the
one who had the money was disclosed
by the fact that they passed the
other seven men to reach Eldredge.
One of the robbers shook him stern
ly, covered him with revolver and
commanded him to throw up his
hands and turn over his money. Ed

men also jumped out of their beds to
