The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-01-02

n. M. Guernsey, wyo.-There is nc
chance for you to get the stock In cues
tiou. Both the Parmeter Kent and the
Sidney Flower. of whom you speak, are
one and the same person and together
took their departure from Goldheio
many months ago for parts unknown
and with their departure followed tho
demise of Gossip which was a per
sonal promotion organ of Kent n nae
no standing among regular mining
n,riodieals. Kent was n "faker, pure
and simple, and at length, when things
oot too hot for him, he changed ms
name to Sidney Flower, expecting
thereby. no doubt to deceive the large
list of clients whom he had roped into
his meshes through Gossip But NJ
did not last long after this, m hec
the country. The company which he
mt out. and in which YOU supposed you
were buying stock, was a phantom, ano
your money is gone.
e.. T. G., Wheeling, w. Va.-The
Goldfeld Roanoke has not done much
work this year. Last year it put down
a shaft $50 feet deep and it was claim
ed at that time that the indications
were good. The claims are surround
ed by a country as yet unexpiored
| Considerable shallow work has beer
done. but not enough to determine the
mineral value of the ground. TIT
Roanoke company was put out by lrv'
inc X. harrington & Co., New York,
who may be able to tell you of their
plans for this property. Our under
standing is, however, that only the an
nual assessment work was done on the
property this year.
A. w. McC., Jardine, Mont.-We an
swered a query about the Florence {. ..
ID. on Dec. 10, since which time no
change has come about in the situation.
The answer was as follows: The Flor
nee G.. O. ID. owns a lease on the {. y.
D., running Is months. Shaft down 3Ol
feet, with crosscuts east and west, with
excellent showing. Lease is closed tenn
of the month. 1t is in good hands, and
is a legitimate proposition.
S. g. B., Mt. Carmel, Ill.-A dividend
was not Declared ON the Nevada Hills
recently, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. The report spread
about that a dividend wonld be de-
elared, at the time the big strike In the
property became kn~+sn, and this re-
port was twisted by the papers to read
that a dividend chad. BEEN declared.
As the office of the company is in Salt
Lake we have no knowledge of its in
tentions in respect to a dividend.
o. N. W., Clinton, Minimize Dixie
Gold Mining. company of Rawhide has
a lease on the Possible Fraction, lying
between the Last Chance and Hoodlum
claims. 1t is considered good territory
and is wen within the proven mineral
zone of Rawhide. The Hoodlum- Last
Chance ledge passes through one corner
of the claim. We understand that they
are not pushing development work at
Ithc present time. j. HI. Barrett is prcsi-
dert of the company. Write to him at
Rawhidc for further information.
M. M, New Yok.-The Montgomery
Shoshone Is in excellent conditional bet
ter in fact than eve before and the flu
ture of the mine, firm the ore blocked
ont, seems to be assured. Money was
borrowed to build the nill. and as soon
as this is paid of, then is no reason
why the company should MT distribute
its surplus in dividends. The produc-
ton is large, and the output of the mill
Is about 100000 per annun, on the
basis of the last six months, of which
$250,000 is clear profit.
H. A. G., Red Bluffs, Cal.-Thre GER.
tainly is merit to the Booth, and every
mining man in the district beievesthat
a mine will be developed on tie grond
in time. There is now one lease woIs.
ing that has good ore, but so far tn,
ore is broken up. The lease is beins
worked by experienced mining men whC
are close to the owners of the Booth
and they know what they are doing.
T. E. L., Pueblo The Crackeriaek il
being worked both by the company ant
by one lease. The latter, owned b,
Mitchell and Fairfield, is down 100 feet
with double compartment shaft. Ma
chinory is being installed on the leas,
and will he working this week. String
ers running from $50 to $50 have beel
cut in the shaft. but no attention wa
paid to them as the shaft will be SUM
400 feet before any prospecting is done
The Crackcrjaek ground is well though
of.
H. g., San Rafael, Cal.-The state
ment that the Black Butte Extension
was shipping ore, was an inadvertance
undoubtedly the Black Butte Consol
dated was meant. The Extension il
working, at least was working RICH
along until Christmas and will resum,
this week. Some good assays have beer
had but the ore bodies have not beer
located.
