taken place in Goldfield since the

camp, and ii it gees through, which
now seems more than likely, it means

and the control Of the camp, which
has been vested in the Goldfield Con
solidated Mines Co for SO long a
time, will in a measure be wrested
from them, and GDldfieid, instead Of
remaining a one company camp. will
enjoy the same freedom that obtains
in Tonopah and other places where
control is divided among several com
panies In fact it will be the max
ing Of Goldfield
For several weeks past emmissar-
les OF ex-senator William A. Clark of
Montana and r. NJ. (Borax) Smith
have been in Goldfield in consulta-
ton with the powers that control the
Merger Mines Co., and after consid.
erable parleying and submission OF
numerous propositions, following the
examination of the property by their
experts, arrangements have been
concluded whereby the ex-senator
and the borax king take over the
control Of the Merger at price
stated to be somewhere near 10
cents per share.

The Merger Mines Co., as will be
remembered by many of the old
time readers of the miner. comprises
the property formerly owned by the
ST. Ives, Velvet, Gold Horn and in
cludes about 10 full claims and
little to the south of the Lone
Star group northeast of the Allan
ia, and almost east and bordering
on the old Jumbo and Jumbo Exten-
sion. Surrounded by such proper
ties and in such fertile territory
the ground has always been regarded
as Of the best in Goldfield district,
and in the past three years numer-
Gus deals have been on for its sa e,
but intending purchasers, 1t can be
stated with some degree Of accuracy,
have been scared off by threats OF
apex suits. In the present instance
however, threats have been Of no
all. During the. leasing system
several of the claims included in
the deal have produced many thou
sands of dollars, but for the past
three years, with the exception Of
two leases, little has been done on
the ground, though many ledges OF
milling ore have been opened up.
AS near as can be learned Clark
and Smith take over the balance
of stock remaining in the treasury,
something like 100000 shares, and
have been given an option on slight
ly larger amount of ownership stock,
thus giving them control of the
capitalization. .--Tonopah Miner.
