and rights to bitches and reservoirs, the
most important reservation is that
which bears on mining within the
grant. The water question will not
arise to bother in this particular Sec
ton but the matter of question of the
presence of ore in the townsite prop
erty has led to the winding up Of almost
all the cred tape" in this matter.
The wording of the letters in patent
as regards the latter matter is as fol-
lows: "And also subject to the right
of the proprietor of a vein or lode to
extract or remove his ore therefrom
should the same be found to penetrate
or intersect the premises hereby grant.
cd, as provided by law"
In the first place no mineral claim
ant has yet been able to make what
could be termed a reasonable showing
in ore from the disputed ground, not
excepting the famous Judge Long
claim, the merits of which are still
pending. In the second place, the
language of the patent, as above quot
ed makes it necessary that a vein or
lode showing be made within the grant,
but if such is made in any well or
shaft on any particular parcel of the
patented ground, the surface rights will
not be disturbed.
Judge Hawley, the celebrated Nevada
%jurist, in a case involving a contest
between the owners of a mining claim
and the claimants of town lots in the
town of DeLamar, gave an opinion in
part as follows:
"In case of contest between mineral
claimants on the one side and parties
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-01-08

holding townsite patents on the other,
the supreme court has repeatedly de-
clared that under the acts of congress
which govern such cases, in order to ex-
eept mines or mineral lands from the
operation of a townsite patent, it is
not sufficient that the lands do in fact
contain minerals, or even valuable min
erals, when the TOWNSHIP patent takes
effect, but they must at that time be
known to contain mineral of such ex-
tent and value as to justify expendi-
lures for the purpose of extracting
them; and if the lands are not known at
that time to be so valuable for mining
purposes, the fact that they have once
been valuable, or are afterwards dis
covered to be still valuable, for such
purposes, does not defeat or impair the
title of persons claiming under the
TOWNSHIP patent"
1t will be seen from the above eta
ton that not only must a discovery be
made upon the mining claim prior to the
settlement for townsite purposes, but
the claim must contain mineral of suf-
icient value to constitute a workable
mine. And in no instance has a work
able mine been yet discovered within
the limits of the townsite.
The letters in patent have been
awaited with interest and some anxiety,
it being thought that the award might
be made subject to stronger reserva-
tions. Judge Stevens was pleased with
the wording of the document and de-
clared yesterday that, under the pat
ent, he would be able to give perfect
titles.

Is CLIMBING STEADILY

1t was learned today that for a width
of six and probably nine feet the val

There are not as many stock buy
ers in Tonopah as there used to be
but there are still some substantial
ones with money, who have participl-
tated in this movement of Belmont.
There are many others who wish they
had placed scalping orders yesterday
to take advantage of the rise of the
day.
Since the find is 500 feet east of the
shaft great interest is being taken
in the properties on the east side of
Mizpah mountain. One among the
most talked about today is the Hall
fax, which is controlled by David
Keith and associates of Salt Lake.
Another is the Mizpah-E Extension,
which is in the hands of Charles +.
Knox and the Montana Tonopah
crowd. A third is the Belmont Exten-
sion.

Letters Patent to GOldfield
T0wnsite Granted by the U. S.

There has arrived and been record
ed in the Office Of the county recorder
a document which might be looked upon
as a New Years gift to many of the
people of Goldfeld. The document,
signed by President Taft and Recorder
Sanford of the general land Office
caused the Goldfeld townsite to be pat
ented and granted to Judge Theron
Stevens, as trustee for the United
States government, for the several use
and benefit of the occupants of the
townsite according to their respective
interests.
Now that clear title from the govern
ment has been recorded, the end of
the protracted townsite controversy is
in sight. About the first of mex month
Judge Stevens, as trustee, will, as the
concluding perogative of the position
he holds in the premises, issue deeds
carrying clear titles to the numerous
applicants of record. Two clerks are
at present busily engaged in checking
and listing the 1850 applications for
title received prior to the closing day,
December "a last. A considerable mum
Der of the applications are for title to
several lots, hence the principal work
of the clerks in closing their books
preparatory to the issuance of deeds,
and that which requires particular care,
is to so check the claims that in the
end title to the same piece or any part
the same piece of property, will not
be decided to more than one applicant.

Goldfeld has entered a period of
stable prosperity and has overcome
the boom days, is the declaration made
by Judge H. v. Morehouse at the
Hotel Alexandria, and that railroad
construction from the Nevada city is
being pursued with vigor was also stat
ed. One line now in course of con-
struction will enter this state in Mono
county, where extensive timber lands
abound.
Other lines to be built, according to
Judge Morehouse, will connect the
city with the Santa Fe and the Gould
lines. The railroad shops, burned last
June at Tonopah, will be rebuilt at
Goldfeld, and the city now is steadily
advancing along conservative lines,
having outgrown the mining camp pc
Rod. The reason for this is that min
ing at a deep level has been assured.
"Much depends, in Nevada, upon the
unfolding of the primary election law
said Judge Morehouse. "Its being up
held will make a great difference in
the politics of the state. In a few
days a test case viii be made to de
termine the constitutionality of the
law, which is the same as that in

ting into shape for extensive opera
lions during the year, which may in
clude a large reduction plant.
The Rhyolite Bullfrog is developing
nicely and a few months more of such
work will cause the starting of con.
struction of a mill, which is practically
arranged for.
The Bullfrog Mohawk is steadily ex-
posing more ore, and it will be only a
short time when reduction facilities
will have to be provided.
The lease on the Montgomery Noun
tain group may encounter ore any day,
when production can be started.
The lease on the Red Fox, which
has just started, promises to get into
producing condition almost immedi-
ately.
In the funeral range the Golden
Chief group is constantly increasing
the u%ncoyering of ore.
And so is the Lulu Mac property.
There is a deal progressing on the
Big Bell group, adjoining the Keane
Wonder mine, which may put it into
operation very soon.
The Chloride Cliff property, located
within two miles of the Keane Wonder
and operated by Los Angeles people,
is now sacking ore and may soon want
a mill.
The great Tecopa mine with its six
millions of dollars of ore reserves, has
just about completed its branch rail
road and will soon be producing very
largely.
The Rusty Pick group and the Teco
pa Chief property, located near the Te-
copa, are likely to get into producing
condition before the year is over.
At the Skibo wei in the Lee coun-
try, if the ore showings continue to
improve as they have been doing of
late, a mill will be on the ground by
fall.

It is anticipated that the Montgom-

endorsed by the blocking out of an i'm

The steady increase in volume n
value of the ore reserves at the kean

that expansion must take place there
also at no very distant date.
The Nevada Ore Treating company
have started construction of the 4O-ton

express purpose of installing reduc.
ton facilities.
Work on the Diamond Queen is of
a character that will largely increase
its producing capacity during the year
The Johnnie mine is steadily mill
ing 100 tons daily and may find the
necessity for another expansion before
the year is out.
Near the Johnnie mine is the Crown
Point and Globe group, the little mine
that has paid dividends with a one
stamp mill, which is also likely to ex-
pand during the year.
At Rhyolite the West Extension,
now having it's patent application ap-
proved, probably will be soon put into
shape for production.
The great Tramp property, with its
large ore showings, by the aid of its
several ~leasers, promises to be a big
producer during the next twelve
months. An up-to-date mill is project
ed and a stream of bullion from its
ores is not far from starting.
At Gold Center another enterprise
for custom ore reduction is about to
begin actual construction, and the in
dications are that it will be the larg-
est plant of it's character in all south
ern Nevada.
At many other points work is being
carried forward which will develop
other properties within the year, but
mention is made of those which at this
time indicate expansion and produc-
ton in the neal future.
