L. c. O., San Francisco.-1-See an
swer to +. W.. s., Bridgeport, Conn, re-
garding Goldfeld Blue Bell. Moth
ing doing on Kewanas at present, and
cannot say what future plans of COM
pany are. Property is well located and
has a chance for ore with further de-
velopment.
G. H. B., Lyle, wash.-Butte Boys
Consolidated is doing no work in the
Goldfeld district and none on the Cen
t~ennial lease mt Ida. We understand
that the property of the company was
recently sold by Fred Wildes, re-
ceiver of the Hickey banks. G.. w.
Bever, former general manager, is said
to be in Los Angeles promoting some
oil propositions.
H. g.. p, Lansing, Kas.-Dr. w. X.
Robinson is supposed to be IN Los
Angeles. The last heard of him he was
trying to float a copper proposition In
Arizona. The reorganization of the
Goldfeld Hub company and the Baltl-
more Belle lease does not seem to have
ma~terialized as quickly as was thought
it would, and we do not know just what
the present status of affairs is, or what
future intentions are.
j. B., Harvey, Iowa.-Pioche is
somewhat out of our latitude and we
have no data on property you inquire
about. Better write the Phoebe Record.
H. G. B., Pittsburg, Pa.-Grutt-Bal-
loon Hill lease at Rawhide has been
shipping high grade ore for some time
past and is said to nave recently open
ed the same ore shoot at a depth of
$50 feet. Reports from there are that
a compressor plant is being installed
preparatory to sinking the shaft to 800
feet. 1t is one of the best leases in
Rawhide at the present time, but we
cannot guarantee its future. 2-Tol
high.
w.. H. H., Troy, N. Y.-Spider-W Wasp
was considered one of the most prom
Using properties at Wonder in the early
DAYS, but no work is now being done,
ON account of lack of treasury funds,
which were tied up in Nye L. Ormsby
bank failure. Claims were surveyed for
patent several years ago., and patent
has probably now been issued. At least
the property is in the course of patent
ing. Considerable development has
been done, and the claims have an
cellent surface showing. Company is
'.resting on its oars awaiting a d
.justment of the affairs of the Nye &
Ormsby County bank.
8. H. c., Pittsburg.-The Elks Con-
solidated is not operating it's lease on
the Yellow Tiger at present. The man.
ager of the lease, Mr.. Starn, went to
Denver three months ago., stating that
it was to attend a meeting which would
arrange for a resumption of the lease,
and that he would be back con the
Dump in a short time. He has not
returned, however, and no one in Gold
field seems to know his plans or the
plans of the company.
G.. R., Stockton, Cal.-See answer to
F. w. S., Bridgeport, Conn, in this
issue.
H. G. M, Slater, Mo.-Kansas City.
Goldfeld lease on the G. o. ID. estate has
not been in operation for several
months. Marquette lease on the Tai.
mage has been idle for some time. Gold
Button is still operating, but have not
struck ore.
P. s. M, Lancaster, Pa.-Goldfeld
Annex Mining company is developing a
lease on the Poleverde claim of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company, ad.
joining the Clermont claim of the Gold
field Consolidated estate. The Annex
shaft, a few hundred feet east of the
Clermont shaft is now down to a depth
of about $50 feet, and the management
has announced it's intention of sinkin1
to 1000 feet. 1t is in likely territory
and has a chance for ore with proper
depth and development.
T. M. p, Salt Lake-The town Of
Austin, county seat of Lander county
Nevada, was located and named in
Reese River Mining district in Octo
Der, 1862, by Dave Buell., w. Harring
ton, Tom Waterman, John Frost, Ton
Triplett and others. The district was
named Reese River and was located in
1861. There is no district by the name
of Hamilton, but Hamilton is or was
the county seat of White Pine county
and district. White Pine district was
located in the fall of 1865; Treasure
Hillon east side of district in 1866;
Tuscarora in IA; Candalaria in 1865
or 1869, and many of the old districts
and mines now being developed at
a profit would have paid then but the
mills and smelter owners did not give
the prospectors and miners just returns
for their ores, declaring there was no
gold in the ores. Assayers were few
and high-priced, therefore the miners
