NEW COMPANY
CHANGES NAME
WILL SINK MALONEY SHAFT ON
SPEARHEAD GROUND TO
CONTACT

owing to objection offered by the
listing committee OF the San Fran
cisco stock exchange to the similar
ity of names, that of the recently
reorganized Spearhead Mining and
Leasing company, operating the
WILDER lease on the Spearhead claim
of the Spearhead Gold Mining COM
has been changed to the Goldfield
Shale Mining company. The stock
was called for the first time on the
San Francisco exchange Monday.
1t is officially announced that a
group of San Francisco capitalists
have become interested in the COM
pany to the extent of supplying ade-
quate funds for the thorough de-
velopment of the leasehold upon
large scale. In addition to present
lateral work on the 250-foot or bot
tom level of the WILDER shaft, the
company will continue the old Ma
feet on the southwestern section of
the present leasehold in the early
days of the camp. to the latite-shale
contact, which, it is estimated, lies
at depth of approximately $50 feet.
This shaft will be equipped with
sixty horsepower gasoline hoist i'm
mediately. Under the terms of the,
lease the parent company will have
the privilege of developing it's re-
served territory after the shaft,
which will be sunk eight by four
and half feet in the clear reach
es the latite-shale contact.

GOLOF|ELO ORC
IS LOOKING GOOD
MANAGER MANNING is WELL
PLEASED WITH CONDI-
TIONS PREVAILING

Developments of far-reaching i'm
portance are likely to occur at any
time at the property of the Gold
field Orc Mining company. Man
ager Thomas Manning is authority
for the statement that conditions
prevailing at the mine are highly
promising. He is more than ever
convinced that the many years Of
persistent effort on the part of his
company will be crowned with sue
cess.
On the 700-foot level, highly
mineralized ore is being exposed by
the crosscut being advanced to the
west from the shaft This crosscut
is approximately $50 feet in length.
A pleasing improvement is also TAX
ing place in the andesite through
which the new south drift is passing
on the same level. A small flow of
water has been encountered by this
drift, and there is reason to believe
that significant discovery will soon
result from the continued extension
of the working.
On the SOO-foot level raise has
been started above the east crosscut
from the main north drift on quartz
and vein matter of promising ap-
pearance. The management is de-
voting one shift daily to making re-
pairs to the shaft between the 700
and SOO-foot levels, made necessary
by moving" ground.

PUTS QU|ETUS
ON WILD RUMORS
GEORGE WINGFIELD NOT UN-
FRIENDLY TO JUMBO EX.
MANAGEMENT

George Wingfield on Thursday
set at rest various wild rumors that
have been rife for the last week
when he made the following state
ment:
81 am not in the habit of paying
any attention to rumors relative to
the rise and fall of stocks but since
my name has been used conspicuous
ly in connection with those bearing
on the decline of Jumbo Extension,
l feel that l should say something
in refutation of the wild reports.
"I am not unfriendly to the Jum-
bo Extension nor to Mr.. Sprague. So
far as l am concerned, the most
friendly and neighborly relations
exist. Rumors to the contrary have
apparently been started by stock
gle share of Jumbo Extension stock
and have not traded in it for some
time; nor am l seeking to gain con-
troll of the mine.
"Mr. Sprague and his associates
are entitled to much praise for open
ing up the property. They took hold
of 1T when it was dead one. 1t
is now producing more than $780,
600 a month, which is ample evil
dence that it has merit. l have moth
ing but good wishes for the Jumbo
Extension and it's management.
"Such rumors are in keeping with
those that have been circulated from
time to time in the past to the effect
that / am desirous of making OF
Goldfield one man camp, all OF
which are absurd. l welcome all
corners to Goldfield. The more
companies that operate here the bet
ter it will please me"

FIND MADE IN
LEASE ON DAISY
TWO FEET OF $1O8 ORE EXPOS
ED ON THE 205-FOOT
LEVEL

Two feet of ore averaging $106
per ton. in addition to eight fee. of
vein matter carrying values ranging
from $2.4O to SIS per ton. has been
opened up by the south crosscut on
the 265-foot level of the main shaft
of the Goldfield Daisy Mining COM
pany, which is being operated under
two and half years lease by the
Justice Gold Mining company. This
company also owns three claims near
the Daisy property. which it plans
to develop through the Daisy shaft.
The find in the lease of the COM
pany on the Daisy ground was made
at point sixty-five feet from the
shaft The entire vein is about ten
feet wide. On the hanging wall
there is a two foot streak of $1O6
ore Picked samples taken from the
streak give much higher assays. The
vein is believed to be the same in
which three feet of ore assaying $50
per ton was disclosed upon an up
per level of the lease a few years
ago. To prospect the new find on
the 265-foot level and catch the
downward extension of the ore body
exposed on the upper level, west
drift will be started from the south
crosscut on the former level.

YELLOW TIGER IS
MAK|NGPR0GRtSS
MACHINE DRILLS WILL SOON
AGAIN BE PLACED AT
WORK

After being retarded for several
months in consequence of the dam
age done to the surface equipment
by fire of supposed incendiary
origin, underground operations at,
the property of the Yellow Tiger
Mining company will assume a nnn-
NAL scale in a few days, accord
ing to General Manager Charles d,
Wilkinson.
Since the resumption of operations
on the 7O0-foot level of the proper
ty about two weeks ago, the work
has been prosecuted with hand steel
and progress has been necessarily
slow. The work of repairing the
damage done by the fire to the
eight-drill air compressor is rapidly
being completed, as is also that of
rewinding the 100 horsepower motor
to operate it. Manager Wilkinson
expects to have both pieces of ma
chinery completely finished and in
operation within the next week at
the very latest.
AS soon as the compressor is
again placed into commission, ma
chine drills will replace the hand
steel in the extension of the north
drift, which is advancing ON low
grade values in the vein on the 700
foot level Wilkinson announces
that he will also start a winze in
the south drift on the same level on
two and half feet of 25 ore and
put up a raise from the north drift
to connect with the 6OO-foot level.

GOOD SHOWING IN
SILVER PICK CON.
TWO FEET OF $1,000 ORE En-
POSED IN 5OO-LEVEL
RAISE

Highly encouraging results are
attending the extensive develop
ment work being prosecuted on the
5OO-foot level of the property of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mines
company. According to General Su-
perintendent Walter S. Norris, the
conditions prevailing at present
make the future of the property
more promising than at any previous
time in it's entire history.
Of the various workings being ex-
tended, raise 5O4-B, which is going
up from the south drift from the
east crosscut on the fOotwall side OF
the main vein has the most notable
showing. 1t has gained height of
more than so feet and the roof is ex-
posing more than two feet OF ore
that averages $1,000 per ton. This
raise is located sixty-eight feet north
of the boundary line of the Combina-
ton mine of the Goldfield Console
dated. A foot and a half of $15.4O
ore is being broken down from the
top of raise 504-C, which has at
tanned a height of forty-five feet
above the same drift at point for
ty feet north of raise 503-B.
Good headway continues to be
made in the extension of the north
drift along the hanging wall of the
main vein from the west crosscut.
The drift is being advanced upon
full face of quartz, which includes
an eighteen-inch streak of $S.17
ore. The west crosscut, work in
which was resumed about two
months ago, now measures 25S feet
in length, the face exposing highly
silicified dacite.

Despite the bear raid made upon
Jumbo Extension stock by the bro
kers of New York and San Francisco,
aided by nervous holders of the issue
throughout the country, which, fort
unately, has apparently spent itself
after affecting the entire Goldfleld
list, the rejuvenation of this district
continues. IL is not to be denied
that the decline was felt locally but,
fortunately, not to degree that
could be considered important or en-
during: there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be entirely forgot
ten in the very near future.
AS the panicky condition of the
market was not due in any way to
unfavorable developments in the
mines, there is no gainsaying the fact
that the interest of the mining public
in Goldfield is steadily increasing.
That interest is based upon the sub
stantial results achieved by the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany through it's long period OF op-
erations and those more recently OBJ
tanned by the Jumbo Extension Min
ing company in the exploration OF
it's virgin Velvet territory at depth
along the latite-shale contact. Then,
too, the recent developments in 9th
er properties, notably the Atlanta.
and the resumption of operations by
numerous companies inactive for sew
eral years have become potent fac
tor in the new situation. Such an
interest on the part of the investing
public can not be abruptly termln-
ated as long as material develop
ments justify it; therefore, GOldfield
continues the lone best bet" in the
mining world.
George Wingfield, from the infan-
CIV of the camp one of it's impelllng
factors and the one man most large
ly responsible for the present general
revival of activity throughout the dis
trict, unquestiOnably put quietus
upon the stock manipulators respon-
sue when on Thursday he branded
as false rumors in circulation for
the last week to the effect that he
was hostile to the Sprague manage
ment of the Jumbo Extension and
that he was endeavoring to capture
control of the mine. Mr.. Wingfield
went a step farther and denominated
as absurd the oft-repeated rumor
that he sought to make Goldfield a
lone man camp" To use his words;
q welcome all corners to GOldfield.
The more companies that operate
here the better it will please me-"
