Nevada Getting Justice

UORCE of habit impaired a misleading sense of security to the
business men of San Francisco while the Nevada railroad com
mission was presenting its case before the interstate commits
sion. The custom of years prevented them from giving the matter
any serious consideration, for they thought that the little way stations
of Nevada could accomplish nothing. Now that the decision freeing
Nevada from the overburden of freight rates and giving her a chance
to buy where she pleases is about to be put into effect, the cry is made
that the coast merchant will be shut out.
For nearly a generation Nevada has plead for justice and fair.
ness in the charges for freight haul, but the railroad and the San
Francisco business men only smiled in derision. But now things are
different.
The Examiner of last Saturday devotes a portion of its front
page explaining the direful results that are bound to follow the grant
ing of reduced rates to Nevada, and more especially the establish
ment of terminal rates in this state.
Nevada a a state did not object to patronizing the California
jobbers, but she did protest against the payment for back freight
paying for something that she did not receive, and being told that she
could not buy from the great east, as the back freight and the lack
of terminals would head her off.

would rival the Comstock. The recent
finds in the Belmont demonstrated that
the veins do go down, and that it is

permanent.

E. w. KING TALKS ABOUT THE
BIG RAWHIDE MERGER

A merger of the Rawhide Coalition
and the Queen companies has beer
passed by the directors of the Coalition
and agreed to by the owner of the con
troll of the Queen, f. w. King. The
matter will be submitted for ratifca
ton to the stockholders of the Coalition
to be held in Reno August 25 and al
the control has already indicated salts
faction there is no question that the
deal will be consummated.
The Coalition is to increase it's CAPT
talization from 100000 to 6,00O,0 OC
shares. There are now unissued 400,
900 shares in the treasury Of the Coali
tion which will make a reserve OF 3,400,
900 shares to be disposed of in part al
follows: $500, 900 shares to take over
the outstanding capitalization of the
Queen on a basis of two shares OF
Coalition for one of Queen; 1,250,O0t
shares to be disposed of at not less than
Is cents, and only as the money is
needed for mine and mill purposes;
$4,000 shares to be used to purchase
adjoining properties as opportunity
affords.
E. w. King, president and general
manager of both companies, and who
will probably hold the same positions
with the merger, has been a visitor
in Goldield for several days. In speak
ing last evening of the merger and its
advantages he said: "The two prop
critics are now developed to such a
stage that is very necessary that an

Toropah mills and the best features of
these I will include in enlarging the
Victor mills to twenty stamps.
"In the Queen the sulphide ore has
been encountered ON the $50 level of
the Grutt Balloon lease and on the 400
in the st. Ives and assays show from
$50 to $4,000. The ore is practically
identical with the sulphide ores of the
Consolidated in fact it is difficult to
tell the two apart. Also a rich strike
has been made on the 300 level Of the
Crown lease. 1t is a six-foot vein,
strong and well defined assaying from
$12 to $74.
"There are now sixteen leasers pro-
dueing on the two properties. Sampler
and mill returns show a production of
$350,000. Within the next IL months
the production should be a million.
"The merger will avoid any question
of apex suits, materially reduce the
cost of administration expenses and
enable the company to raise money
more easily for heavy development
work. The new company is now under
writing sufficient stock to push the
work to the 1000-foot level.

ZADIG VERY OPTIMISTIC OVER
GOLDFIELD MINES

Herman Zadig, the well known broker
of San Francisco and a veteran min
ing operator, whose greatest interests
in the past have been connected with
the Comstock, and who still exerts a
dominating influence there, was again
in Goldfeld yesterday.
Last evening he stated that his main
object in coming to Nevada at this
time was to attend the assessment sale
of North Star stock at Tonopah, and
to try to arrange the difficulties of the
| Dexter company of Manhattan.
CT attended the sale of the Nortf
| Star stock said Mr.. Zadig, "and wa!

pared to buy 100000 shares, but all

George Wingfield's Condition

~ HE NEWS sincerely hopes that the telegraphic dispatches from
San Francisco purporting to give the condition OF George
i wingfeld, are exaggerated and that his actual condition does
not warrant the alarming news. Mr.. Wingfeld is a sick man; TINS Is
conceded, but until further advices confirm the earlier diagnosis OF
his case, we re not prepared to believe the worst.
1t would be a great blow to this camp, temporarily, at least
should George Wingfeld be taken away. He is the largest holder OF
mining property IN the camp and his name is so associated with the
district that the outside public would think that Goldfeld had gone
with his demise. For this and for many other reasons let us hope that
Wingfeld will recover and that his illness be not long.

New Money Welcomed

~ HE magnificent dividends of the Goldfeld Consolidated, as
predicted by this paper months ago, have finally begun to at
tract the attention of the mining world to Goldfeld and the old
camp is likely to see a revival equal to the good times of 1866.
What this camp has needed for years is an influx of new money
and new brains and energy. 1t has also needed a breaking up of the
Godfeld map, as it were. Too many properties have been held by in
terests unwilling or unable to spend money in development. Too much
ground has been permitted to lie idle. The blight of inaction
lethergy and almost dispar has paralized the district, and outside
of the Consolidated and Florence little has been done for several
years. And it took outsiders to come into Goldfeld to stir things up
to show the people the value of the riches that lie undeveoped under
their feet; and almost before we know it the best of the available in
side property is picked up at choice bargains, and outside capital is
in possession.
Goldfeld welcomes the appearance of the heavy mining interests
of the east and of Europe, for 1T means a stirring up of the camp from
center to circumference, and mining on a more general scale than ever
before.
