SCHWAB HEADS GOLDFIELD
MINING SYNDICATE.
LARGE DEAL IN PROSPECT
Multi-Millionaires After ;R : ch Ledges
and Will Exploit Them Jointly.
A report comes from Goldfield that a
eyndicate of capitalists headed by Charles
M. Schwab has undertaken to secure con
trol of the more Important" mines of^^ the
Goldfield district, and to merge them into
the control of one huge corporation. •Mul
ti-millionaires are credited at Goldfield
with the intention of taking the pick of
the district's developed properties. Schwab
and his associates now control several of
the richer mines in Tonopah. twenty-five
miles north of Goldfield, on the same
•tretch of mountainous desert. }
* Among the properties that are likely to
be merged, according to current report,
are the Combination. Jumbo. Florence.
r January and Atlanta mines. These . have
' iXi produced a heavy tonnage of high
grade shipping ore. The group forms the
core cf the district Possession of these
properties In one ownership would Illus
trate the modern tendency to concentra
tion of great Interests in a new field.
According to the statements of a*Gold
field correspondent the representatives of
the syndicate first approached the prin
cipal owners of the Atlanta group of
min^s with an offer for a controlling in
terest In the corporation. Since then
owners of the other properties mentioned
have been offered tempting prices for
t heir holdings. The Atlanta mines are re
ported to be Just passing from the pros
pect ?t£ge to the producing stage. The
uwners of the controlling interest In he
jroperties are Henry Weber of Milwau
kee and Marvin I?h of Denver. They
Tvent into the district without money, but i
"made good" at Goldfield.
POOR MXX OWNED ALL.
Nearly every property involved In the
merger project was at one time owned by
poor men. The Taylor brothers, who lo
t ated the famous Jumbo -and now own ttre
controlling interest qf the property, were
grub-staked with J4O worth of supplies.
After locating the Jumbo. Red Top and
Florence groups, which at one time com
prised but one group of claims, Charles
Taylor returned to Tonopah without do
ing the assessment work on his locations
required by law to hold title, and prob
ably would not have done so but for Alva
Meyers, one of the original locators of the
Combination mine, who urged him to re^
kVurn and perform the work. On the trip
TJu: from Tonopah Taylor offered Meyers
tfc!s interest in the property for $40, but
Meyers was unable to raise that much
\u25a0money. Now Taylor and associates are
reported to be practically millionaires.
When Alva Meyers decided to go on a
prospecting trip, he selected the locality
that is now Goldfield as the field of his
operations, having become convinced that
a porphyry belt extended through the
country. This conviction was basc-d upon
the varying shades of light that he had
notictd from afar while stndlng" in front
of his cabin east* of Tonopah, where he
was developing a property. Another fea
ture of the general formation was the
evident tilt of Columbia and Knickerbock
er Mountains, the two most prominent
uplifts in the district.
He also was grub-staked by a syndi
cate of ten friends and came out on an
equal share preposition. Before the end
of his compa'"- with fcis backers, which
had a tenure of life of two months, he
had bonded the Combination group for
J7S.CWO besides locating some valuable
ground In the immediate vicinity. The
people who bonded the Combination paid
$TtOOO down and took the balance— s7o,ooo—
out of the ground in sinkins a shaft to a
depth of less than 100 feet. It is the sec
ond richest mine In all Goldfield. |« ;.:;
\u25a0 Of equal interest is the story of the* ear
ly discovery of the January mine and its
Fubfpquer.t history. R. I^. Johns, who
is now the president and one of the prin
cipal owners, had. not the money to pay
for the assessment work at the time he
made his locations. He gave* a fifth to
yach of three associates, who now share
dually with him. The ' January is now
cne of the big mines of the district.
Over 51.000,000 was taken out of it last
year en a single lease by "January"
Jones.
In the small area embracing the proper
ties included In the merger deal is. cen
tered the greatest acuvity In mining In
the whole district. The district in? which
are situated the gold mines that - the
Pennsylvania steel magnate Is reported
to be reaching for Is credited with a total
gold production of more than $4,000,000 in
two years.
OI'RM.NG OLD MIXES., '-.
The old Yuba copper mine, near, Hon
cut. will be reopened. The work of
pumping out the old ehaft is about to be
frin. The shaft was sunk in IS6O and
1861, but the ore was not considered val
uable enough then to pay, there -being no
railroad to haul ore or supplies. "One
thaft of. the Blue Lead mine near Bangor
has recently been pumped out and.de
velopment work will be started at once.
A tunnel 1500 feet long will be run to tap
what is' known as, the Rehfuss property.
Considerable interest attaches to the in
crease in the gold output evidenced by, the
\u2666ftimates of the director of s the mine for
ISO 4. The increase. in California gold pro
duction, amounting, to $3,000,000.* surpasses
the- total Increase for Colorado and all of
Alaska. The. total gold output for Cali
fornia in JSO4 is equal to the , grand ,, total
for Alaska,; Nevada.: Idaho. '[ Oregon and i
Arizona combined, and came - $5,- -
#E«W,000 cf.tbe total of Colorado. With the
of dredging that is prob? \
able. California*, ought ,- to lead all the ;
States in ' gold production within < three >
years. | .'lv- \u25a0 '-\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0.-\u25a0
The Chico Enterprise , reports that I a
rich quartz ledge has been discovered in
the bottom of a tunnel about ; two and
one-half miles from the 'Cherokee \ mine:
The sum of $45,000 has been. expended; in
development work on the property. ~

the following:
Some time ago the British Columbia Parlia
ment enacted a law forbidding the employ-,
ment of Chinamen la mining underground. Tht
Wellington Colliery Company, desiring to ttst
this law continued to employ Chinamen in un
derground work, . whereupon an agreed case
was submitted to the courts and passed finally
to the Privy Council In London. England, the
court of last resort. "The Judicial committee. of
the Privy Council has handed down a decision
in favor of the colllerr company. The com
mittee sustained the contention of the com
pany that It could tend Its employes to any
portion of its property. Similar acts, relating
to both Chinese and Japanese, have been dis
allowed by the Dominion Government, %
DEVELOPMENT OX COAST.
The Fairbanks (Alaska) Evening News
majces the following statements concern-
Ing a matter of importance to Alaska
miners:
There are two things which this country_ls
greatly ' concerned in having- determined. One
of these ts the exact" definition, of the word
•"discovery." Th« miner wants. to know what
that is— what Is a discovery? when has. he
made a discovery? Judge Wlckersham has de
clared that the first ownership of a claim, th«
reserving of twenty acres out of the public do
main In the name of any individual, must be
based upon an actual discovery of gold. The
driving of stakes, the recording and the pay
ment of recording fees, thts securing of re
ceipts therefor, or any other red tape, or cir
cumstance will not do it. There must be a
discovery of gold. • That' decision was - hailed
with general rejoicing over the whole district.
Dlscoverv of gold meant digging in the ground,
mean ttije «nd of the power of attorney out
rase under which one man en one trip- could
take ur> the- public domain in twenty-acre
tracts until be wearied of writing the names;
It m*ant the release of the country to the
prospector, the nnllmberlng of . the energies of
the industrious, the reservation of the treasure
of the «arth to reward those who should go
down into the ground to get it. The placer and
other mines of this country were for those
who discovered them. This was the effect of
the decision at first sight. '
' What Is discovery? Immediately this ques
tion \S up for answer." The very energies re
leased by the court's decision dragged the ques
tion before the tribunal for answer. /
• A man Is at work digging In the ground, as
he ha* a right to do.' and as the laws of the
country' invite him to <5o and as the people
at lanre rejoice to see him do. He has felt
himself prot*cted in his labors by his stakes.
Here comes this excellent decision of the court
that robs him of this protection. Bight men
form a company, as under the law they have
a right to do; they stake eight -adjoining
claims 160 acres, which Include the twenty
acres where the maa . is working, getting^ to
bedrock as fast as his muscles will admit. They
go upon a distant part of their big holding'
with quick ' acting , machinery - and get to | bed
rock far in advance of the man. and go Into
the recorder's office and file a discovery. : The
man and hie mere : muscles ; are out of It.
