The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-03-19

doing Oh any VI '"N
you ask.
H. s.. Mariners Harbor-The Moore
lease is not working. The lessees did
a very large amount of work seeking
for nav ore, but, while getting encour-
aging ASSAYS from time to time, were
srauv forced to abandon the work.
The Gibraltar lease Immediately to the
soutb also shut down after expanding a
very large amount Of money. None Oh
tho known lodges of the district seem
70 oo through either of these blocks. 10
tho north of the Moore lease, there Is a
lease working, hoping to get the ola
Riley shoot which supposedly crosses
the Combination No. 2 at about TINS
mint. They are using che Moore smart
as II is deeper than their own, ana
working north. So far they have en-
countered nothing. All this ground I'M
mediately west of the Florence, whiie
seemingly well and promisingly located,
has proven a great disappointment.
". E. p, Readsboro, VT. and others
The Blue Bell owns likely ground IN
the Goldfeld district, which it is pro-
teeting right along, awaiting develop
ments from the work on surrounding
territory. The company also owns d
good property at Berlin, on which a
oraat amount of work has been done.
This property includes a mill. we IN
derstand that the company ran out OF
funds before they got the Berlin prop
ertv on a paving basis and that 1t is
now being worked under lease by the
former manager, a Mr.. Pierson. write
to Walter Whitmore, secretary, at Ely,
Nevada, for more details.
E. w. L., Pocatella-There is con-
siderable work going on in the neigh
borhood of which you speak and some
good ore has been found, but the shall
low workings nave proved ~pockety. The
particular property of which you speak
IS worked along, but not as vlgor-
ously at present as formerly, as the
manager Is the east; in the meantime
they are Just marking time.
A. M. c., Cincinnati, O.-The United
Tonopah and Goldfeld company is not
doing any development work at pres
ent. to speak of; the other property OF
which you ask is working indlfferentiy
but the ground is gradually becoming
more valuable as Manhattan is slowly
but surely developing into a good pro
ducing camp.
s. A. p, Princeton, Cal.-Sorry, but
we cannot give you any encouragement
in the matter of disposing of the stock
YOU own. They are all "dead ones.
The Consolidated Red Top lease was
not a swindle, for the company spent
MANY thousands of dollars in reaching
ore, which, when it was found, dipped
out of the ground into adjoining terri
tory outside of their lines.
T. M. R., New York and others-We
are aware that The News has not
reached eastern subscribers promptly Of
late, but it is through NO fault of our
own. Fine News goes to press the same
day and same hour each week and
starts from here promptly the same
time every issue. The trouble lately
has been from disastrous washouts
along the Southern Pacific railroad in
Nevada, and great storms and wrecks
in Colorado. AS you know, storms and
foods have been general throughout the
west, extending from the Ohio river to
the Pacific coast. The floods nave been
the worst in recent history and railroad
traffic has been tied up as never before.
| For over a week there was not a train
run east of Reno over the Southern
| Pacific, and finally mail from the east
was sent through to Nevada via Oregon.
In times like these, also, it may DE
said it is the first class mail that is
favored and newspaper mail is held up
until !. IS entirely convenient to move
it, and this is after all the first class
mail is out of the way. These are the
reasons you have not been getting your
paper regularly of late, but as regular
traffic is now resumed, you should have
no further trouble.
F. B. D., Boston, Mass.-The secre-
tary of the company is in Oregon. but
we understand that the ground Is be-
ing held under a special arrangement
with men on the ground who are look
ing after it. That section Of the coun-
try is looking no now.
W.. Nd. B.. Lew1sburg, w. va.-The
