The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-12-04


N. 8. W, Minneapolis.-From any in
formation. to the contrary the Queen
Princess Copper Mining company al
is not now operating. We
know nothing of the personnel Of the
company, or its plans, and have not
been able to get such.
J. +. NJ. and others.-Dr. Robinson
does not think he was fairly treated in
our answer to a query about the Hub
and Baltimore Bell companies, and we
have received a lengthy statement from
him, in which he denies that the BOOKS
of his company are to be investigated
or that there is any reason for an in
vestigation. He also denies that he he's
"dropped out of sight, and says he
can be reached at 1926, East It'll street,
Los Angeles, at any time. We regret
very much if we did DR.. Robinson az
Injustice. We had no desire to do 80,
certainly. DR.. Robinson says that after
he got the two and a half year lease
for the Baltimore Bell from the Hub
company, he found the latter company
so involved that it was wise to under
take to get control of that company, be-
ing the parent company from which he
was leasing, and place it in other hands
than that of the Wilson's. The Hub
company was threatened with litigation
and sale Of it's property through debt.
DR.. H. j. Stewart came to Goldfeld
from Pittsburg as representing a large
portion of the Hub stock, and a meet
ing was held, at which he was elected
president, and DIR. Robinson, vice presi-
dent. Since that time no effort has
been made to consolidate the Hub n
the Baltimore Bell companies In the
meanwhile the books of the two com
panies were placed in a safety deposit
box. The debts of the Hub company
have been paid and, according to DR..
Robinson, a plan Of reorganization had
been decided upon. Before leaving
Goldfeld, according to DR.. Robinson,
tbe hooks of the Baltimore Bell com
pany were gone over and it was found
that the company was in debt to him
for something like $500. He says the
hoist and machinery OF the Baltimore
Bell plant was sold for a debt OF $40.
He said that upon information OF MS
attorney that the plant was to be sold
for a $40-debt, he sent a check for the
amount, but before the check reached
its destination, suit had been instituted
and he was notified that he would have
to put up $500 more for court costs. He
said there was enough money to pay
the debts of the company, but there
was no money for hold-up schemes and
he refused to go any further, SO the
machinery was forfeited for the $40
debt. DR.. Robinson is optimistic over
the future of the proposition, believing
that the consolidation will be made and
that the company will soon begin opera
tions on the ground.
M. s., Los Angeles.-We do not an
swer queries by mail. Would take up
all our time. The Austin Manhattan -
a very large property being extensive
ly exploited. 1t has been an enormous
producer in the past. The Austin Man
Consolidated is a consolidation
of many mines in the vicinity Of Aus
tin which payed handsomely years ago.
They closed down for when silver. was
demonetized, as the ore did not permit
of expensive hauling to the railroad and
shipping to smelter. Recently important
interests combined the mines and will
work them all through a common tun-
mel. A large reduction plant is being
built and the proposition will doubt
less prove a paying one.
T. g., Ogden, Utah.-Operations at
the Goldfeld-S Silver Peak mine, Coyote
have ceased only temporarily.
A few days ago a team Of horses be
to the company were attached
in the local justice court by a black
named Kerwin, who had been
employed by the company. Kerwin
claimed that Manager G. r. Miller
to pay him at a rate of wages
considerably lower than the establish
ed scale of this district. Mr.. Miller
paid the bill and the costs. The Gold
6eld-Silver Peak is a property which
be placed upon a paying basis with
proper management. 1t is likely that
a contract will be let for sinking or that
a lease will be given upon it.
M. E. H, Chadwick, M.-Nothing do
ing on the Daisy-Florence the lease
long ago been forfeited. (2)
