NEW INCORPORATIONS.
Companies Which Hare Been Or
ganized During the WeeK.
The Empire Gold Add Miidrg com
pany lias been incorporated to take over
.fid operate the Silver Tip group of
'claims adjoining the I/me Star on the
north. The group consists of the ?' v< r
Tip No. 10, tlic Jack Kahbit, Belle and
Lillie fractions, approximately 3:1 acres
in all. The incorporators have set aside
in the treasury 400,000 shares of slock
and a cash reserve to be devote 1 to the
development of the group. The capital
isation is 1,000,000 shares, par value, $1.
The incorporators, who are all local
mining men, nre: Henry Weber, presi
dent; M. E. Ish, vice-president; \V. I>.
'O’Brien, secretary-treasurer; J. K.
Mitchell and Frank Ish. All of the
stock has been subscribed for by local
investors.
The property makes an exceptional!)
'good showing at surface. In a six foot
shaft a clearly defined ledge has been
opened up, assays from which have
been secured running from $7.20 to $:!")<>
in gold. Active development work has
been started by the company and will
be vigorously- prosecuted under the di
rection of Superintendent .1. K. Mito’
ell. The company starts out with an
exceedingly bright prospect and ith
lnuicauonH lavumig me [nuiminmj »■»
the opening up of a shipping mine. Tin
ledge on the Lone Star, from which ship
ping ore is being broken, extends into
the Silver Tip group, the shaft on the
fo/nier being but 409 feet distant. The
management lias received numerous ap
plications for leases on the ground.
A group of local mining men have
formed the Black Rock Goldfield Min
ing company for the purpose of taking
over and operating the Black liock and
Black Rock fraction claims, adjoining
the Sandstorm group on the east. Tin
officers and directors of the new corpor
ation are: Henry Weber, president;
J. F. Mitchell, vice-president; II. C.
Marcus, secretary; K. .1. Roberts, treas
urer; and W. I). O’Brien. The capital
Stock is 1,000,000 shares of a par value
of |1. Four hundred thousand shares
have been set aside in the treasury for
development purposes. There is also a
cash Reserve in the treasvry.
The surface showing on the proper!}
is considered decidedly promising. Sev
eral good leads are known to cross tin
group and the location of the ground
would unquestionably warrant the pre
sumption that shipping ore should he
discovered with a reasonable amount oi
development. Active work has been
commenced and will be prosecuted rap
idly to thoroughly develop the group.
Reliable Hardware House.
The Nevada Hardware and Supply
company of Reno has engaged space in
The News. This is one of the best
known and most reliable houses and
carries the largest stock of any house in
the State engaged hi its line of business.
The company makes a specialty of
hardware and mining supplies and en
joys a large and constantly increasing
trade, extending to every part of the
State.
Tiik News cheerfully recommends the
firm as an enterprising and reliable one.
Its members arc and have been consist
ent and enthusiastic boosters of Gold
field and its great mines and we believe
that this fact entitles the company to
more than ordinary consideration and
to be liberally patronized by the busi
ness houses of this town which handle
tire line of goods enumerated in their
ad. Remember the Nevada Hardware
and Supply company when the next
order for goods is placed.
Sheridae Round Over.
The preliminary examination .* John
Sheridan, who is charged with stealing
ore to the value of several thousand dol
lars from the Combination Mining com
pany, was held Monday before Justice
Collins. The principal evidence intro
duced was that of witnesses for the pur
pose of identifying the ore as from tin
Combination mine, which will be the
main point when the case comes to trial.
Sheridan was bound over in $5,000
bonds to the grand jury, and being una
ble to furnish them will remain in jail
until his case comes up for trial, unless
the grand jury fails to indict him. His
attorney is P. M. Howler, who repre
sented him at the preliminary, District
Attorney Green appearing for the State.
Meeting Well Attended.
The Miners’ hall was altogether inad

RAILROAD TO GOLDFIELD.
Col. Cic«a Is Engaged in an Im
Important Worlf.
C«1. Ed. F. Brown, of Denver and
Aspen, Col., :s here on a mission which
is of great importance to the Goldfield
district. Col. Brown is the official rep
resentative <rf tlie Southern Pacific and
Tonopah railroads ar.J h.-.s been sent
here to tliorougldy investigate the camp
jrom the standpoint in which the rail
roads are directly interested—that of
passengers ami freight traffic. This in
formation is wanted as the basis for a
decision by tlie companies in regard to
the extension of the Tonopah railroad
to this place. The companies of course
recognize the necessity of a railroad to
Goldfield within a comparatively short
time hut definite facts and figures in re
gard to traffic are required before the
actual construction is commenced.
Col. Brown is a practical mining man
and had years of experience in the kind
of work on which lie is now engaged.
His report when made will cover all tire
details as to present and estimated fu
ture output <>f the mines, this being the
most important matter with which the
interested companies are concerned be
fore road building is commenced. Col.
Brown will tie engaged on the work for
some days and his report when made
will be a complete one. lie should he
given assistat ee in every way possible
by those who are interested in seeing
the railroad extended to Goldfield at an
oarly day.
WESTERN UNION CONING
Will Soon Extend Its Line to Gold
field.
That the Goldfield Telegraph and
Telephone company will not build its
telegraph line iuto Tonopah and JHoda
ville from this place is the announce
ment which was given out this week by
one of the principal officers of the com
pany. Instead, it will build a telephone
line from here to Tonopah, and also one
to Gold Crater, and construction work
will begin at once and be pushed to
quick completion.
The company’s decision not to con
struct the telegraph line from here to
Sodaville, via Tonopah, is the result of
a conference which was held in Tonopah
a few days ago between General Super
intendent Frank Jaynes and Superin
tendent F. II. Lamb of the Western
Union and President C. II. Elliott and
Manager A. E. Kinney of the Goldfield
Telegraph and Telephone company. At
the conference the Western Union of
ficials announced their company’s in
tentions to at once extend its lines to
Tonopah, install duplex instruments
there and put in effect a JO cent rate to
San Francisco. Further, they stated
that the company would build to Gold
field as soon as the railroad is extended
to this place and put in effect the same
rates and immediate service.
Upon this statement of the Western
Union’s intentions the local company
decided to withdraw from the field as
far as the telegraph business is con
cerned, having accomplished all that
they had in view—the reduction of tele
graph rates to outside points and the
betterment of service. Orders were at
once given to pull up the forty-five
miles of poles which had been set be
tween Sodaville and Tonopah and these
poles will he used for the telephone line
between that place and Goldfield and
from here to Gold Crater, which lines
are to be built at once.
The Western Union will soon be
sending and delivering messages at
Tonopah at the regular rates which are
in force all over the coast and just as
soon as the railroad is extended to Gold
field, this plare will have the benefit of
the same service.
Florida’s Showing.
Broughton brothers, who have a lioiul
on the Florida mineat Lida,are working
the property steadily and the property
ia considered one of the best at that
place. They have already taken out a
large amount of good grade shipping
j ore, enough in fact to cover the first
payment on the property. The l'lorida
I gives promise of again becoming an im
I portant producing property.
QUARTZITE MAKES
A GREAT SHOWING
That a mine greater than the wonderful Jumlx may >ci be opened ut> in the Goldfield d.st::ci
seems too big a thing to even dream of, much less to expect. But, nevertheless, from the present show
ing in the Quartzite claim of the Diamondfield Mining company, such is a strong possibility. At a depth
of 36 feet in the Quartzite the ledge has been crosscut for 36 feet and only one wall is in sight. The
astonishing claim is made on good authority that this whole 36 feet will average over $200 per ton.
Wednesday and Thursday three wagon loads of ore were shipped out and a large number were still on
the dump, and all this ore was taken from running the crosscut, no drifting or stoping having been done.
A streak 4 inches wide assays $25,000 to $30,000. Another rich streak 6 feet wide, will average nearly
f^oo, while the oie between the different rich streaks runs from $30 to $So per ton. This ore is from the
lease of A. J. l’oak and associates and tlie slia.t is within 50 feet of Tsh’s Black Butte claims. A gas
oline hoist has been ordered and an ore house is being built. The new strikes have had the effect of
making a big demand for Diamondfield town lots and thc\ ate going like hot cakes.
The Jumbo.
A rumor lias been current (luring the
week that a shipment of 26 tons from
the Bowes-Kern irk lease netteil $31,000
after deducting all charges, including a
♦6,000 freight bill. At the hour of going
to press this rumor could not bo verified,
but it is known that 14 tons netted
$36,000. Despite the fact that about
an average of COO sacks are shipped
daily from this lease, there are now
over 0000 sacks piled on the dump and
sacks are r ot received fast enough to
take care of all the ore, many of the
oresorters having to be laid off today on
that account.
j About 5 tons of shipping ore are being
taken out of the Zinn lease daily and
the value of the ore is increasing- The
average of all the shipping ore from this
lease is $600 per ton, but much of it
goes ’way above this. The shaft is now
down 146 feet and another level will be
run from the 160-foot point. It is not
generally known that this lease runs to
April 1st next, but that was a concess
ion granted when the hoist was installed,
because it was known that this end of
the Jumbo was not so rich as the north
end.
It is understood that the two leases
which were extended from October 1st
to January 1st will pay such a big
royalty on ore during that time that
the company will net quite as much as
if they mined the ore themselves.
This being the case, it is a matter of the
utmost surprise that Jumbo stock can
be bought for figures now quoted, but
lessees and others best posted are buy
ing all they can afford, knowing it is
worth at least double present quota
tions.
BlacK Butte.
Work in the south tunnel is being
vigorously pushed and the ledge which
was encountered last week has been cut
through. Though this ledge, as stated
last week, shows ore of good milling
value, it is not the one for which the
company management is looking. Im
mediately bn •avond
one was struck this week. The s<.e-..e.
ledge is larger and richer than the (list,
being 8 feet in width and the ore of good
milling value.
This claim of the Black Butte side
lines the Quartzite Fraction, where such
an extraordinary body of shipping ore
has been opened up, the trend of the
vein being directly for the former com
pany’s ground. The company has
started a shaft near the boundary line
between the two claims anil good values
have been ^>uud and the ledge shows
strong even with the slight depth that
has been obtained.
The Quartzite strike and its close
proximity to the Black Butte ground
t'as added greatly to the value of the
holdings of the latter company.
That the Black Butte will in a short
time be classed with the biggest mines
of the district has passed from prediction
to certainty.
Goldfield C. 0. D. Mining Co.
One of the strongest mining com
panies which has recently been formed
is the l'. O. I). Mining company, which
owns the C. O. D., Zoe and Golden
Eagle claims. Not only are the claims
very valuable, but the company is com
posed principally of pioneers of the dis
trict of the highest standing. The
claims were located by Murphy and
Myers, who were the men who opened
up the Combination mine. The claims
of the C. O. D. company are surrounded
by those of the Combination, Goldlield
Mining and Jumbo companies, a fact
which proves that their location alone
makes them valuable. But outside of
that fact Murphy and Myers, who know
the Goldfield district like a book, think
extra well of these claims. The officers
of the new company are: Frank M.
I till, president; T. 1). Murphy, vice
president, M. M. l>eteh, secretary-treas
urer. The foregoing with Sol Camp,
Carry Kamscy and A. 1>. Myers eon-!
stitute the board of directors.
Goldfield Diamond Mining Company.!
- Active development work on the com- j
pany’sground is about tobecommenced; ,
several leasers have been prospecting
the ground with a view to leasing. M. !
li. King end T. L. lloppin of California i
obtained from across a four foot i
ledge at Suven feet depth on the Head
center claim, and at once secured a ‘
twelve months leiisc and will begin ac
tive work.
I T. J. Post ami sonieotlier miners from
; Colorado liave secured a lea e on t lit*
1 Contention claim. They have been
1 prospecting tin* ground for several days.
! and it is known that they found some
rock carrying good minis, lait they
would not show the assay returns. It
I is understood that Did rick Wiggins, a
prominent Colorado mining engineer, is
interested in the latter lease.
Daisy Mining Co.
The Daisy Mining company, owning
the Daisy Nos. 1, 2 and :l, near Diamond
field, has been incorporated under the
laws of Arizona, with a capitalization of
if 1,">00,(Hit). The officers are: Frank
Horton, president, A. A. lhisev, vice
president, M. M. Detch, eecrctay; John
S. Cook, treasurer; Frank Horton, A.
A. lhisev and Van Spalding, directors.
The company has bought the Graham
Bros, lease on Daisy No. 2, in which
there is a splendid showing, and will
work the property themselves. A gaso
line hoist has been ordered and vigor
ous development work will proceed at
once.
Goldfield Mining Co.
Under the direction of Superintendent
McKay'the Goldfield Mining company
has started development work on the
September, October, St. Paul, Henry
Clay and Cracker Jack claims. Some
people have the notion that this com
pany owns only the January claim, but
it not only owns the above-named
claims also, but they are among the
most valuable, prospectively, in the
camp, s nd the development work now
begun will possibly show up another
big bonanza.
New St. Ives Company.
Capt. John A. Hassell, Marshall
Bond, and Louis Bond have bought the
St. Ives claim from Lockhart \\ illiams
anil incorporated the St. Ives Gold Min
ing and Milling company, to operate the
same. Capt. Hassell is president of the
company, Marshall Bond, vice-presi
dent and Louis B >nd, secretary and
.r :\ TV'' Sft. lees promises to
make one <>f the big mines of the G 'id
field district. It is understood that
Col. Lockhart retains an interest in the
company.
Combination.
A big pa rail 1 ledge has been struck
in the BtO-foot lev . f ’beCombination,
at a point about JO1! tect west of the
shaft. The ore where encountered is
not rich enough to slrp hut higher
grade ore may he found in drifting.
The productii n at other points remains
about as ii.-md. Work on the new oflicc
building and on the mill is proceeding
slowly as it is impossible to get ma
il,,.;,.!
Sun Dog Goldfield Mining Co.
A company has been incorporated
called the Sun Bog Goldfield Mining
company. This property is adjoining
Booth’s addition to Goldfield and lies
but six blocks from Main street, be
tween Goldfield and the principal mines.
J. I). Brown has been employed to sur
vey and perfect title. The property of
the company has a good showing in the
way of croppings.
Cloudy Day.
TheGoldfield-Tonopah Mining com
pany has the shaft on the Cloudy Day
down 50 feet and two crosscuts are be
ing run to cut twodifferent ledges which
are near by. They expect to cut these
ledges within the next few days. These
ledges assayed $10 on the surface anil
there is good reason to believe that the
values will increase with depth.
Florence Lease No. 3.
In the Florence lease No. 3 the ledge
has Ix'en cut in a crosscut from the 200
foot point and drifting will soon begin
and the value of the on1 determined.
The output from this lease is about the
same and another shipment is now
ready.
January Lease.
Tiie January is making about its us
ual production of mill and shipping ore,
the former being sort-d into two piles,
one averaging about $00 and the other
$25 per ton. The first IS days of this
month over $22,000 worth of ore was put
on the mill dumps.
Blue Bell.
Three men have lieen put to work
trenching on this property. Some very i
i rich float 1ms been found in several
I places and good pannings have been
I obtained. It is expected that the ledge
! will be encountered any day.
Yellow Top.
It is the intention of the Yellow Top
company to continue sinking 100 feet in
depth before crosscutting. Work was
tentjiorarfly suspended on account of
not being aide to secure material but
was started again today.
Producing Area Extended.
By a strike which was made this week
on the Brooklyn and (rood Hope groups
the producing area of (loldliel l lias been
greatly extended. A big strong ledge
runs through the claims of these groups
and from samples taken at random
along 000 feet of one of the ledges assays
of $:U, f'JH, $7<i, |106, $ 130 and JflKO were
secured. Such assays from the crop
pings are unusual for Goldfield and in
dicate that other shippers will soon be
added to the list. The Brooklyn group
lies about 1 1-4 miles east of the Black
! Buttes and was bought by Frank Ish
from the hx'ators. Seller, Iiichardson,
Ccickburn and Kasnes. Mr. Ish also
bought a half interest in the Good Hope
and Good Hope Nos. 1 and 2 from Kel
ley, Wagner and associates. Scott Jam
ieson and others own the other half.
With a man of Mr. Isli’s well-known
push it is safe to say that development
will proceed vigorously.
Notes of the Mines.
On the Curley George claim of the
Coming Nation group the shaft is non
down oO feet, with ore in the bottom
showing values.
Mernin, Knickerbocker, Casey and
Arden have sold the Knickerbockers
Nos. 1, 2 and .‘1 to Walters and La Farge.
The claims lie about •'! 1-2 miles east.
Ike McKay, the well-known and com
petent mining man, has been appointed
general superintendent for the Gold
field Mining and the Adams-Goldfield
companies.
A force of men has been put to work
on the property of the Big Elk Mining
company. Ledge matter has been en
countered and the surface indications
ale very L.vocable.
Clarence Logan, Tom Kendall, Win.
Douglass, John McQuillan and J. 1*.
llenuessy have taken a lease on the
Kendall claim, north of where the
marvelous strike was recently made.
The property of the Golden Lode Min
ing company at Gold lleef was inspected
by T. G. Lockhart, owner of the St.
Ives, and Barton Pittman. They ex
pressed themselves as being very
favorably impressed with the Golden
Lode and the entire Gold Reef district.
The United Goldfield Mining com
pany, a recent incorporation, owning
the Kangaroo group, has granted a
lease on its holdings. The lessees have
opened up a five foot ledge from which
they have obtained some good pannings.
The management is very well pleased
with the showing.
M . U. VVIWIMltw » f'l mftC,
Colo., an<l Henry Weber of this city
have made the lirst paymentontlie pur
chase of the Grandma lode claim that
adjoins the Spearhead on the west. The
claim is very favorably located and
makes a very good showing. A strong
vein has been exposed on the property
to a depth of 14 feet. The balance on
the bond will be paid in 10 and 20 days.
Tbe claim will be extensively developed
by tbe purchasers.
Woodward, Lothron and associates,
who recently took a lease on the Flor
ence, have encountered a cross vein
running northeast and southwest. The
And was made about 10 feet beyond
where Lockhart and McClelland, former
lessees stopped work. Not enough work
has been done to fully determine the
extent of the strike, but the ledge is a
good strong one and part at least is of
shipping grade.
New Jail and Hospital.
At the recent meeting of the Esmer
alda county Board of Commissioners the
jietition of Gold Held citizens asking for
the establishment of a county hospital
here was granted and steps will be taken
to build one as soon as possible.
The Commissioners also decided to
contract for a new jail building in Gold
field. It will lie of stone and will In
built on the site of the structure which !
serves as a jail at the present time.
GOLD CRATER BOOMING.
Great Thing* Are Ekpectei. of this
New. District.
This new district, about twenty-six
miles a little south of east of Goldfield,
attracted a great deal <>f attention in
the mining world this last week and
several groups of claims have been gold.
"Ridge & Curtis purchased a gronp of
claims and in a 1- foot hole, taking an
average from top to bottom and across,
V.air.td an assay of $171.
Toe Inman ami, Sanders strike runs
from sS-'-t) to $7(10.
The Elliott, William-yk Colburn'prop
erty shows a line lcud„that runs from
S70 to S140.
There is another strike about seven
miles east of Gold Crater that runs as
high as any found in Cold Crater.
U. \V. Griswold and associates have
purchased a group of claims.
The'formation is the samoastheGold
field district and is bounded on the west
bv a lavaVropping the same as at Gold
field. Porphyry mountains dot the
plains and in these are found the ipiartz
ledges. Some of the ore resembles the
Goldfield ore and some looks like the
typical California ipiartz. The same
mineral zone extends to the east of
Stonewall monniain and continues a
areat distance southeasterlv from G ild
Crater. We look to see the whole coun
try in that dined .n prospected and
manv mines found.
At present it is not advisable to fr**
there >»ut in the n.-st two week* ttie
town ite eoiii|>aiiy will Imve secured
plei.ty of water for done-tic purpose.-.
There is a great deal of lmneh grass for
horses, and we look to see a successful
mining camp established there.
A town-dte has been laid out and al
ready a real estate boom is on, 220 lots
having been sold in three days.
Milton Ish, ( has. Cassin and Carl
Stoddard have got a number of very
promising claims in the district, close
to the property of Sanders and Inman.
TAKEN ILL ON DESERT.
George Saxton Being Brought In By
Friends.
George Saxton, a well known young
civil engineer, who left here about len
days ago with a parly of prospectors to
do some surveying in the southern couu
trv, was taken down with pneumonia
and it is feared that he will succumb be
fore he can be brought here to receive
medical attention.
Immediately he was taken ill the party
started back wi h him, having only slow
moving burros with which to make the
long and weary journey to this place.
A messenger who was sent ahead to
procure a team with which to bring in
the sick man arrived here day before
yesterday and started back at once ac
companied by Carl Stoddard, a ftieud
and former partner of the sick man.
There have been rumors of youug Sax
ton’s death in circulation here but their
reliability was doubted and proved un
truo wlieu a man named Sweeney arrived
from the south today and reported that
l.e passed Stoddard and the others on
the way in and that Saxton was then
alive, though very ill. They should ar
.ive here some time tonight or tomorrow
morning and it is to be hoped that young
Saxton’s illness has not passed the point
where there is a chance for his reoovery
with the attention that can be given him
here.
Mr. Saxton is a Carson raised young
man and a State University graduate,
and is held in highest esteem by a large
circle of friends in we b rn Nevada. Ilis
parents live in Carson, and lie lias a
number of brothers, one of whom is a
captain in the regular army and another
a mine manager in South Africa. Young
Saxton was one of the engineers em
I loved on the construction of the T0110
pah railroad last summer and is well
known in Tonopab.
