IA. B. Lynd of Goldfield and I. X.
Stallo of New York have taken an
option on the Nevada Garfield mines
property. Old timers will remember
that this property has produced mil
lions of dollars of Silver ores in
years past. Messrs. Lynd and
Stallo are now negotiating with J.H.
Miller for the purchase of the La
panta and PamIico mines in Haw-
thorne district, together with water
rights and other holdings of these
com panies. ii this deal is consuma
ted it is the intention of Messrs Lynd
and Stallo to build an aerial tram
way from the Garfield miues at u
point near the marble quarry to
transport the ore to the wagon road
and then haul it by auto trucks to Il
mill near the Pamlco mine.
1t Is the purpose OF Lind and
Stalo to work the large quantities OF
low grade ores known to exist in the
Garfield and Hawthorne district
mines as we'll as the higher grades
that will necessarily be encountered
in the process of development. The
Garfield mines show a blocked out
tunnage in the mines and ores on the
dump exceeding in value three mil.
lion dollars, according to the reports
of enyineers who have surveyed the
Iiproperty.
At present Charles Fristoe S in

putting THE Garfield property into
shape so that the corps of engineers
daily expected from New York can
examine and report inteAi9ibly.
AtLuckyboy several sets CT leas'
ers are at work with good results.
All of the ore so far shipped has
netted Che lesses about $l40 per ton.
New York mining men have be-
come interested in this property
and next week corps of mining en-
gineers and experts will be here to
make a thorough examination of the
property and if their reports are
satisfactory "a new company will take
charge of these mines and put a
