felliott Knows a Good Thing.
C. II. Elliott-, the broker, came to
Goldfield Tuesday and will spend prac
tically all his time in this camp in the
future, having formed a partnership in
the brokerage business with W. S. Will
iams and l>ick Colburn. While fully
recognizing that Tono(Kih is a wonderful
camp, Mr. Elliott realizes that Goldfield
is better and that this is the point from
which to do business.
Independent Telegraph Line.
The Independent Telegraph anti Tele
phone Company held the first meeting
of stockholders this week and are now
fully organized. Arrangements have
been made with the Tonopah railroad to
have the line continued to Sodaville and
connect directly with the Western
Union. Already 30 private telephones
laive been contracted for in Tonopah
and £5 in Goldfield.
Automobile Line.
The first automobile came into Gold
field Wednesday. The machine is a 10
horse power Rambler and is owned by
G. W. Richard, of the State Rank and
Trust company and his two sons. The
trip from Tonopah was made in 2 hours
and 50 minutes, though the cliaffeur, G.
4, Packer, lost the road and covered
about eight miles more than he needed.
It is probable that the machine will be
put on for ]iassenger service between
(foldfield and Tonopah and the trip can
be made in 2 hours.
Serious Accident.
Tom Painter ami a man named Dickey
met with a serious accident while driv
ing Judge Collins’team from the wood

to the load of wood the driver was also
“loaded” and about seven miles from
town the team ran away and both men
were thrown out. Dickey’s leg was
badlv broken lietween the knee and an
kle, the bone being forced through the
flesh. He bore the intense pain like a
stoic and even pushed the bone back
i into place. Painter suffered no broken
bones but was badly bruised. The team
and wagon, which Judge Collins had re
cently bought, were badly done up.
Under the Rose Bush
Within a day or two the editor of Thk
Xkws will leave for California to take a
needed, if not deserved, rest. During
his absence the paj<er will be in charge
of K. K. L. Windle, a newspai>er man
well and favorably known in Nevada.
It is rather a difficult matter for a
stranger in a camp like Goldfield to get
all the news and get it straight, and it
will be greatly appreciated if our friends
will assist Mr. Windle and the office
I ;.t> by banding in news—and especial
ly mining news. The editor also wishes
it understood that bis vacation will be

The Jumbo
With tire exception of the Ui<lgc and
Curtis lease, which was shut down for
several days by Injunction of tlie court,
tlic different lessees on tlie Jilinlm have
been making the usual production of
rich ore during the week.
The best news is from tlip Bowes and
Kerniek lease w here the rich ore shoot
has lieen tapped at both the 100 and ISO
foot levels. It is said that at these
levels the ore goes $1504 |>cr ton,hut the
amount of this grade of ore has not lieen
given out. That it has been found as
deep as ISO feet is added proof that the
Jumbo will h*> one of the IJg money
makers of the world. Bowes and Ker
niek made two shipments during the
week and there are £5 tons of high grade
ore on the dump.
The McDonald and Fuller lease now
have US tons of rich ore sacked and will
soon Make a shipment.
On the Bichard & company lease
they have started to sink the shaft to a
depth of 100 feet. Good ore is being
Bto|M*d from the 50-foot level and a
shipment of 17*j tons went out this
Week'; while £5 tons yet remain on the
dump.
Mr. Vcrmilyea is again back in active
charge of the Vcrmilyea and Bartlett
lease and has started crosscutting to the
ledge at the 1110-foot point. The last
assay taken across Lit inches in the
raise from the SO'-foot level gave returns
of $14S4 per ton.
On the Zinn lease they «re drifting
both ways at tile 100-foot level, but have
not as yet got the rich ore shoot. At
the 50-foot level they are still taking out
$400 to $500 ore and made a carload
shipment Wednesday.
The Bulge and Curtis lease was closed
down for nearly a week owing to a dis
agreement among the owners. The in
junction secured against them has been
raised and it is probable that the whole
affair will be amicably settled.
Florence Lease No. 3.
Some time ago we t? i<l of a shipment
which was going out from the Florence
and stated that when the smelkr re
turns were received the conservatism of
The Xbws would be once more demon
strated. The returns were received from
the Western Ore Purchasing Co. last
Friday when the edition was nearly off
and are as follows: One lot of 75,(578
pounds returned a value of $40,170.80;
a second lot of 1855 pounds returned a
value of $7,550.45. These are net re
turns after treatment charges have been
deducted. Then* are few mining camps
which ship ore in carload lots that run
so high as the above. As is sometimes
pertinently remarked: “Smelter re-*
turns tell the tale.”
Cache Gold Mining Co.
The organization of the Cache Gold
Mining company of Goldfield, Nevada,
was completed Tuesday evening by the
election of the following officers and di
rectors: James F. O’Krien, president;
John Mernin, vice-president; II. W.
Knickerbocker, secretary; .1. Casey Me
Dannell, treasurer; .1. P. Loftus. The
company owns five claims in the south
eastern |«rt of the district on which
float assaying $4,041* to the ton has been
found. The first block of stock has
been placed on the market at 10 cents
per share, and it is believed but little
work will be necessary to open up a rich
ore shoot.
The January.
The same ol<l steady gait, with the
usual good results, is being kept up at
the January. Shipping ore is being
taken out from eacli of the three levels.
At the 200-foot level the ledge has been
crosscut for 20 feet. The shipping ore
at this level averages 1(200 per ton. The
high grade ore shoot has also been en
countered in the south drift in the 112
foot level. It has been arranged to treat
the mill ore in the new Combination
mill when it is completed.
Strike on Clermont.
Price and Currie, leasing on the Cler
mont, have uncovered an lN-inch streak
in a trench on the Clermont that carries
high values. Pannings indicate values
ns high as 1(1000 ]>er ton and the lessees
in three days saved about a ton of ship
ping ore. The Clermont is one of the
Jumbo group of claims and the strike
was made at a j>oint northeast of the
main Jumbo shaft.
Another Strike on St. Ives.
St. Clair, Corser and Geo. Lewis and
aife, who recently sub-leased a piece of
ground from Martin, Thompson and
Lervoog, on the St. Ives, have ojiened
up extra rich ore on their ground. An
iverage across 2 feet of the ledge shows
rallies of over (300 j>er ton. The gold is
unusually coarse and in different pan
nings many pieces of gold as large as
grains of wheat were found.
Vernal No. 2.
On the Vernal No. 2 Welsh, Cronin,
Koran and Dingee are down 50 feet in
[lie shaft and at this point the ore is as
rich as ever. They have 6 feet of ore
uiul an average assay across 3 feet
showed values better than (325 per ton.
A streak, 10 inches a idf, will go much
better and si*vimen a--ays can be pro
cured going into t ie pictures. Mr.

BlacK Ant Co.
Henry Weber is superintending the
work on the I Slack Ant company’s group
of claims which lieVlose to the Vernal
No. 2. A shaft has Is^n started and
considerable trenching on the surface is
lieing done. The first of next week Mr.
Wels-r will also put men to work trench
ing on the ledge which passes through
the Independence claim, belonging to
the company. This claim is located
about midway between the Vernal and
the Jumbo.
Daisy No. 2.
On the Daisy No. 5 Graham llros. and
associates are down 515 feet and have 4
feet of ore, an average assay from which
went $07(1 to the ton. From a streak 14
inches wide an average assay went $:!5<X)
to the ton, lint it is not thought the
whole shoot will go this high. The les
sees will probably soon make a carload
shipment and we will then see what the
ore runs in carload lots. Sears, Bjorn,
banka and McGalHard are sinking on
the ledge where they recently opened up
good ore.
The Red Top.
The Bed Top is proving to be a whale.
The wall has just been found in the west
crosscut but the east crosscut has not
yet caught the othet' wall. The ledge is
proved to be 15W feet wide and it is 1m
lieved that the whole ledge will pay to
mill, while a considerable body of ship
ping ore has also liven found.

A r*‘i><>rt lias yuincd credence on tin*
outsiilo that tlic .IiiiiiImi, t'oiiiliiiiation

its origin in tlie fact that when thu rich
placer gravel was touni a party wits wh
dor the mistaken impression that be
could make a placer location. Me did
so and put <>n the names of many of tie
original locators-. It is well kiw .*
however, that a placer locution will not
hold over a valid quartz location and
when each of the properties have pro
duced hundreds of thousands of dollars’
worth of ore, and every loyal require
ment has lieen complied with, there is
no question as to the title of the original
locations.
EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS
Scores of Buildings Being Erected All
Notwithstanding tin' difficulty experi
enced in obtaining all the neeessarv lum
her, tlie building of substantial frame
business and residence structures keeps
about every carpenter in the camp busy.
It likewise keeps contractors figuring.
A tour over the camp reveals the fact
that a genuine building boom prevails,
and that (Sublfiold is growing rapidly in
population.
Inquiries among contractors and
builders developed an exceedingly lively
state of affairs. As an instance, J. W.
Halterman has contracts for the erection
of more than a half dozen buildings, de
tailed as follows: The new Goldfield
hotel for Klliott and others; 12x40
building for W. h. Wilson on the
Lind & Collins lot adjoining The News
office; a 24x40 for George Jordan adjoin
ing the Goldfield assay office, on Main
street; a 20x20 for 1’. O’Brien, on Crook
avenue; a 12x48 for George Jordan on
lower Main ; a 10x20 for C. M. Gordon,
adjoining llalterman’s shop on Main;
an 18x24 for II. Wood, on Cm>k avenue;
a 10x24 stone building for Walter Smith,
in l’henix addition; and an office build
ing 10x24 for G. S. Phenix on Broadway,
l’benix addition.
Sanders & Inman are building a 2Sx40
2-story frame office at the Combination ;
have just completed an 18x24 olfice for
Elliott, Williams & Colburn; and a
’dobe residence for J. I’. Loft us. Thev
have also begun work on an assay office
12xJo for T. F. Niland, on Main street.
Lee & Crohn are building a 24x00
building on Main street for A. A. Red
mond.
Langston & Sisson arr l.3x.'50
Rosenthal A Doane.
For residences II.C.McClune is build
ing a 2-room 14x.'50 'dobe on Ramscv
street; on the same street T. Hendricks
is completing a 3-rooui ’dobe; J. II.
Wilson is erecting a 2-room ’dobe on tlie
outskirts, on the road to the January
mine; Chas. laiinb has just completed a
single room ’dobe; W. Weiss is building
a ’dobe on Fifth avenue for J. F.
O’Brien; Bullard & company are finish
ing a 10x14’dobe for Mr. Mannon, on
Columbia avenue; and also a 10x12
'dobe for Mell Yates. George l'avis is
building a novelty for this section, where
timber is so scarce, it being a log cabin
12x14. It will be quite an ex^nsive af
