THOUGHT TRANSFER.
ANCE At PAMTAGES

One of the best things in its par
ticular line ever seen here is the
thought transference stunt at the
Pantages theater this week. Zancig
is a wonder and Madame Zancig is
another. Performances of this kind
have been seen here before, but
nothing quite so good. Embodied
she describes everything her hus'
band touches while walking through
the audience, and a lot Of other
mysterious things are done.
There are several other good acts
at Pantages this week. but the
thought transference bill is alone
worth going to see twice.

WELL FINANCED LEASING
COMPANY TO WORK ALAMO

The Gotham Mining and Leasing
company has begun active work upon
the property belonging to the Aiamo
and Silver Moon Mining companies at
Lucky Boy. The negotiations which
were finally concluded last week have
placed the new company in full control
of the two properties by virtue of a
favorable lease. The ground was
turned over to the company ON Dec.
Active work in a mining way, how
ever, did not commence until last FRI
day, when the first round was fred
which promises TO attract 3 great deal
of attention to Lucky Boy and the vi
cinity.
The mine operations will be in charge
of J. j. Mccarthy, who successfully OPP
ened up the Engineers lease on the
Florence estate in Goldfeld. Mr.. Nc
Carthy, together with J. r. Wool
bridge, will have entire charge of the
company's affairs in Nevada. The

The present market valuation on {.

at which Goldfeld Consolidated carries
its holdings of the stock on its books.
Goldfield Consolidated owns slightly
more than 100000 shares of G. o. D.

the issued capitalization, and it carries
this block of stock on its books at
what it states in it's own reports to be

Goldfield Consolidated has in the COM

its favor.-Copper, Curb and Mining

BURGE LEASE AT HORNSILVER
PROMISES TO BE PRODUCER

Harry HI. Burge of Harry FL. Burge
& Co., brokers, has taken two years
lease on a block of ground 500x6OO III
the Lime Point No. ] claim at Horn
silver and has organized company to
develop the lease, under the name of
the Burge Lease Company. The capital
stock is 100000 shares, of which 40O,-
600 are in the treasury. None of the
promotion stock will be sold, accord
ing to the announcement of the promor-
ers, and treasury stock will be offered
at 5 cents per share. Those who ~FElii
direct the affairs of the company are
H. H. Burge, president; j. 7. Walter,
vice president; d. H. Chambers OF the
Goiafeld Tribune, secretary; George
Durgan, mine superintendent, and
Charles w. Wilkerson of the Combina-
ton Fraction.
In its prospectus the company pre-
sents list of very unusual assays,
running from $l7.7o to $42O.45 on the
surface, with assays at depth running
as high as $562.9O. An assay was had
at eight feet which gave $719.s5..
with such excellent ground and an
experienced management, the Burge
lease ought to "make good" provided
i Is sufficiently financed. Wilkersol
and Durgan are among the mining en-
o;neers of best standing in the Gold
6a,a district Hornsilver, after per-
"a 90 inaction as result of financial

lie. The money was raised in the east,
and the company is able to carry out TO
a successful conclusion any operations
which may be begun.
Until the completion of the installa-
tion of electric power at the mine, the
new company will use the Alamo ma
chinery for its work. A transformer
will be built at the mine and the cleo
trical equipment has been ordered.
The company will install 100 horse
power compressor and rs horsepower
hoist. A 80 horsepower motor will fur
nish power for the operation Of the
pumps and the other machinery. As
soon as the machinery is in place the
work of unwatering the Alamo shaft
will be begun. 1t is the intention of
the new company not only to mine the
ore above the 750 level in the Alamo,
but to sink shaft to depth of 1900
feet. Systematic mining, under the d.
rection of Supt. Mccarthy viii be car
ried out in every detail, and the new
work on the property viii be watched

OWNERS OF Big 4
LEASE WRANGLE

TONOPAH, Dec. IA. AS the re-
su,t of a suit filed in the district court
here by Cecil A. Chapman, one Oh tn'
owners of the famous Poak- Chapman
steen lease on the Big Four claim at
Manhattan, to compel an accounting
with his partners, Judge Averili has
annointed L. L. Mushett receiver un-
iii such time as the difficulty IS al
justed.
Chapman's claim is that the lease
during the last three months mas Pro-
duced $4,000, and although he has ex-
pended $4,000 of his personal money IN
;+s development, Poak, who handled the
lease funds since pay ore was s'rucA,
has refused to pay him his share OF the
output, declaring that he would divide
tie money as he saw fit.
The lease is still producing heavily
and is one of the sensations OF ths
camp.

"You may say thers is not word of
truth in the report said Mr.. Bore

ter. s'The court has not made any or
ders relating to the issuance of receiv-
er's certificates nor any relating to the
compensation to be paid the receiver
or attorney. There is absolutely no
foundation at all for the rumors."
1t is not customary for courts to do
eide what the compensation of a re-
ceiver shall be until the business fo-
which he was appointed is wound up
or matters SO readjusted that the prop
erty is turned back to the owners with
all the troubles that led to the appoint

Goldfield Men Are
Working Property
at Pigeon Springs

Out at Pigeon Springs, about forty
miles east of Goldfeld, syndicate of
Goldfeld men, consisting of c. G. Pat
rick, Charles Stevenson and Bob Els
worth. have within the last month
quietly resumed operations in old
workings and from present indications
hid fair to make a decided success OF
their undertaking. A well-defned ledge
over 100 feet in width carrying shoots
running as high as $40 is being worked
and already a nice tonnage OF ore has
been blocked out ready for transporta-
ton to the company's ten-stamp mill
situated about four miles from the
property.
Charles Stevenson, the well-known 10
cal assayer, is in charge of the proper
tv and the mill. Between fifteen and
twenty men are employed, and within
a short time this force will probably De
increased. If the development work
now being pursued fulflls expectations
the mill may be moved to a point IN
close proximity to the mine.
The ore carries gold, silver, lead and
some copper, and, as it is being broken
down for the mill, runs from ~
to $12.
