Goldfeld Mining company property

SAYS REPORTS
ARE INCORRECT
VICE PRESIDENT SERAGUE OF
JUMBO EN-, MAKES
STATEMENT

Commenting upon the tentative
agreement made recently whereby
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany is to purchase from the Gold
field Merger it's Velvet claim, Charles
s. Sprague, vice president of the
former corporation, yesterday de-
clared that there is no foundation for
the persistent reports that by the
transaction the latter will obtain
control of the Jumbo Extension. Mr..
Sprague declared that President Har-
ry Schwaikert, who makes his head
quarters in New York, never made
the statement accredited to him to
the effect that the Merger company
would obtain control of the Jumbo
Extension by reason of the DEAL
which, to become an effective, must
be ratified by the stockholders of the
companies.
At the time the details of the deal
were arranged about two weeks ago
in San Francisco, according to Mr..
Sprague, there was no understanding
with c. o. Whittemore, president of
the Merger company, that the control
OF the Jumbo Extension was to pass
to the former; in fact, there was
no conversation upon such subject.
Mr.. Sprague is seemingly of the
opinion that Mr.. Whittemore and his
associates of the Merger company do
not entertain a desire for the control
of the Jumbo Extension. However,
Mr.. Sprague was frank to admit that
it would probably be possible for any
person desiring to go into the open
market and buy sufficient shares to
obtain control
Although Mr. Sprague was reluc-
tart to discuss the details of the deal,
he stated that it calls for an increase
in TIE capitalization Of the Jumbo
Extension from $1,250,000 to $2,-
G0O,00t When asked as to the re-
port thar the Merger company was
to receive 100000 of the 750, goo
share increase, Mr.. Sprague prac-
tically admitted that it was correct.

NANCY DONALDSON
WILL RESUME WORK
DISCOVERY SHAFT WILL BIZ
SCENE OF NEW OPERA
TIONS

President c. C. Tracy of the Nancy
Donaldson Mining corr pany is au-
thority for the statement that opera
tions on the property of that cor
pcration in the Red Mountain section
of the Goldfeld district will be re-
sumed in the near future, after a
spsnension since last November.
In the early days of the Goldfeld
district, high grade ore was found on
the surface of the property. opera
ti0ns are to be resumed near the
point of it's discovery in what is
known as the Discovery shaft sunk
to depth of thirty-three feet Inc
entire bottom of the shaft reveals
soft tale and quartz of pleasing ap-
pearance. In the past, operations on
the property have been largely con-
fined to the main working SHAFT,
which has a total depth of loG feet.
At that depth, drift to the south
was advanced on the vein distance
of ffty-one feet. The face OF the
drift shows two streaks of quartz OF
an aggregate width OF about two
feet. The vein dips TO the east at
an angle of so degrees and trends
north and south. On the 1o-toot
level of this shaft, cross-cut was
driven east twenty-five feet.
