ney General Wickersham, in discussing
his crusade against bucket shops, al
vocated publicity for legitimate corpo-
rations as an assurance of prosperity,
and expressed himself in favor of a
properly framed federal incorporation
law.
Publicity for the legitimate corpo-
ration spells prosperity said the at
torney general. by publicity l mean
that business corporations should not
conceal the records of their transac-
tions, but should make them public
and should at all times deal fairly and
frankly with their stockholders and the
"This is the best means of encourag-
ing confidence among those who have
money to invest and among those who
are already stockholders. But, above
all, this publicity and fair dealing

many wildcat financial schemes which
have thrived in the past and which the
government is ~endeavoring to suppress
by ~depriving them of the use of the
mails and in other ways.
"The main difficulty has been that
because of the secretive policy main
tanned by SO many bona fde i~nstitu-
tions the public has been unable 70
distinguish between legitimate and
the illigitimate ones. The former can
afford to deal openly with the public,
but the get-rich-quick concerns a N
not.
"There is nothing that would do
more to divert the investments of the
country into honest enterprises than
the publicity of their financial condi-
tons and business methods. The re-
suit would necessarily mean prosperity
for all concerned. A federal incorpo-
ration law properly framed would as

ATTENDED WITH INTEREST

well as the controlling spirit of a mum.
Der of the othfer more prominent min
ing corporations of the district, that he
intended beginning work on some of
the so-called outside properties early
in the coming year, has been received
with interest and great satisfaction by
all who are interested in mining IN
Goldfeld and the surrounding terri
tory. In an address at a ban
quet which was rendered him by
the business and mining men of Gold
field, Mr.. Wingfield expressed the CON
viction, which is shared by nearly ev-
eryone, that the mineralized area of
the Goldfeld district is by no means
confined to the territory owned by tho
Consolidated, Florence and Combina-
ton Fraction companies, and that prop
erly directed development is the only
thing required to make other rich and
famous mines within the district
There has been much guessing as to
which of the outside properties Mr.
Wingfeld will begin work upon, and
wEile he has declined to indicate his
plans In this respect, it is thought that
attention may be directed to the
Sandstone and Kendall, now that these
two properties have been merged I'M
der one ownership and the new com-
pany placed upon the assessable stock
basis Leases on both the Sandstone
and Kendall have yielded large for
tunes in high-grade ore from near the
surface, but upon neither has any ex-
tensive development work been lone
at depth. Columbia Mountain Is
another property upon which there is a
highly encouraging surface showing,
with some ore of nearly shipping grade
exposed In a lease shaft, and it il well
within the probabilities that the prop
erty viii be developed, either from the
llOo-foot tunnel or from a shaft sunk

at a point heal the peak of the noun
tain.
The Blue Bull group has always been
a favorite of Goldfeld mining men,
having well defined lodges and b aving
produced small quantities of good ore
from shallow workings, and it would
surprise no one if the company were
to begin an active campaign of develop
ment. Conqueror, Consolidated, Gold
field Ethel, Goldfeld Berkeley, Goiifeld
May Queen, Nevada Boy, Midtown and
Booth Goldfeld are all companies con-
trolled by Mr.. Wingfeld, and any of
these may be chosen for development
work in the near future. Kewanas has
done but little work for some time, bnt
tie workings are maintained m good
condition and the property has exposed
a large tonnage of fair grade mill ore.
The Goldfeld Lucky Boy property,
Vindicator mountain, has had q con-
siderable amount of prospecting work
done in the past, but has been idle Cor
time. Contractors have started
the annual assessment work on these
the most important part of
which will consist of sinking 2 25-foot
shaft at a point 200 feet southeast of
the main shaft and near an oucn cut
where a small vein is exposed near the
and with a view to cutting this
vein at about the bottom Of the shaft.
This point is on the main ledge or
like and at a point where the sorma-
ion is somewhat broken and in appear
as promising for ore az any place

As the end of the year approaches
the owners of mining claims who have
not been conducting operations during
the year are fastening their prepare.
tions for the performance of the an
nual assessment work required to hold
the claims. The season during which
this work is in progress is always at
tended by a considerable degree of in.
terest and expectancy owing to the
ever-present hope that new discoveries
of ore will be made at some point out
side the territory of the producing or
proved properties. The earlier history
of the camp has a number of instances
of discoveries of great importance that
have been made during the progress Of
annual work, and much of this work
win be in the line of prospecting.
1t Is maintained by many persons
that there are no veins in the Goldfield
district or that the veins are of enor-
nous proportions, consisting of a SER
les of lodges or dikes. 1t is true that
the valuable ore deposits occur almost
invariably in the form of lenses, chin
neys or pockets and that there is moth
ing to indicate the extent of these when
first opened, but the dikes and lodges
throughout the greater part of the dis
triet are resdily followed for long dis
tances by the bold groupings and at
many points these groupings afford the
indications that must be sought else
where by development at depth. Thus,
when a ledge is shown to be broken and
disturbed or where faulting is apparent
the miner is encouraged in the belief
that an ore body may be found at nc
great distance and work can be direct.

pANY is incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada, with
a capital of S600,00 90, divided into
100000 shares, par value $1.00
each, 400, 900 shares in the Treas
ury, full paid and forever nom
assessable. The Officers and Di-
rectors of the BURGE LEASE
COMPANY are composed Of the
following: = H. H. Burge, stock
broker, President; j. T. Walters,
local Manager Nevada Telephone
Co., Vice President; D. H. Cham
bers, newspaper representative,
Secretary; George Durgan, Mine
Superintendent; Charles w. VIII
kerson, Manager Combination
Fraction Mines Co.
The above officers and directors
are all reliable, conservative bust
ness men of Goldfield, engaged in
enterprises from which they de-
rive an income, and none of them
ire dependent on this lease for
resources; therefore it is not nee
essary for them to resort to any
thing but good, sound business
methods to enhance their bank &C
counts.
There are 200, 900 shares of pro-
motion stock which will never be
sold or offered for sale, the object
of the promoters being a mine de-
velopment proposition and not a
stock game; the promoters will
not make one dollar out of this
lease if ore is not encountered and
dividends n not paid.
The lease is composed of a block
of ground 500 feet by 600 feet on
the Lime Point No. 1 Lode
Claim, in the Hornsilver Min
ing District, thirty miles south
of Goldfeld, and runs for a
period of two years from Jan.

feet more than ordinary leases,

parently form a juncture 80 feet
east of our present workings.

which gives every promise of a

Driven by fear of death at the hands
of her tribe, whose members believe her
to be witch, Mamie Holmes, an Indian
girl, lG years old, has walked for more
than 100 miles, the distance from the
Coachilla reservation Cal. to Santa Man
uel reservation, near Highland. She
will be sent to the government school at
Phoenix.
Sufficient proof to the Indians that
the girl is witch were the facts that
several on the reservation were made

shadow had fallen on it and a big dog
chained up in front OF her parents
shack hOwled all night She was shun-
ed, and one evening when she saw the
aged braves gather on hill at sundown
and indulge in strange rites she slipped
away. She was found by officials OF
the reservation as she was about to re-
deem herself from 'witchhood, " in
accordance with one of the superstitions
of the Indians, by bathing in the waters
of the Arrowhead.
