MEMBERS OF MINSTREL. TROUPE
AT McGILL INCREASE THEIR
WORLDLY GOODS THROUGH
TIPS ON GOLDFIELD STOCKS.

The Knights of Pythias Ministries
at McGill. who gave a performance in
Goldfield last September. had an ex-
cellent opportunity to accumulate a
pork chop fund to tide them over the
winter as a result of typical early
day mining boom in the southern
gold camp through wonderful new
ore disclosures in Jumbo Extension.
During their Witt to the southern
gold camp the members of the troupe
received inside information to pur-
chase both Jumbo Extension and Sill
yer Pick. At that time Jumbo Ex-
tension was kicking about the camp
for ten cents a share. Silver Pick
was considered the last reckless throw
of extravaganza. There has been a
franic scramble the last three weeks
to secure Jumbo Extension. around
$500 but 1t is extremely difficult to
call out this security. despite the
magnificent profit taking that is now
offered.
After the Knights had unloaded a
van load of mirth in Goldfield, they
were shown through the two mines
that have demonstrated TO the invest
ing public the possibilities of neglect
ed Goldfield properties.
The mine foreman informed his
guests of the watts ore reserves in
the Jumbo that had been sealed up
for time. and intimated that when
the treasure vault would be broken
into the stock would soar like mer-
curry under southern sun.
The Silver Pick was a zero in the
layout, when the Knights from Me-
Gil were escorted through that min
eral estate by one of the men in
charge of mine operations. The stock
was quoted at one cent share. The
foreman intImated that the situation
looked to him like a field OF clover
Each member of the party was ad-
vised to invest 800 in Silver Pick
stock providing they would like
to become the possessors OF
some easy money on short notice.
Paste IL in your hat that some mem-
bers of the party too peek at the
layout and decided to linger. Their
security represents a net profit of $3.-
900 on their little spludge. Others
displayed an eagerness to participate
in the monetary reward that would
result from premonition that the
Goldfield stock market would soon
be seethIng
Greeks throughout the Ely district
have been playing Jumbo Extension
with the same facility that prestidi-
digator pulls livestock and vegetables
from a high hat. They seemed to
realize that Goldfield provides her
surprises in tabloid form. The for
eign elemtnt has been picking Jumbo
as a feature for the last six weeks,
evidently realizing that 1t was gem
among gems. rarity among the
rare. 1t is estimated that at least
thirty Greeks in this locality are in
possession OF Jumbo stock. and have
displayed an unwillingness to part
with II. Reports from reliable
source is to the effect that one Greek
In the district owns 1000 shares of
Jumbo Extension.
The demon of unrest possessed
young man from McGill six weeks
ago. Although he was not member
of the vast army of the unemployed.
he parted with 900 shares OF Jumbo
Extension about six weeks ago for 3
cents a share He had decided to
visit his mother In the east. and sacri-
fieced his stock to obtain enough
money to insure a pleasant trip. The
proceeds of the sale netted sllI for
the pleasure jaunt. His inability to
distinguish between a guess and the
real thing affected his bankroll TO the
extent of sS4sS.
The new raise from 1917 foot level
has opened up eighteen feet of ore
that will average s170 ton and ten
feet OF this wonderful ore body aver
ages $3.50 a ton. The discoveries OF
the last few days exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the manage
ment.
