LARGE DIVIDENDS
Companies Distribute Part of Earnings
—The Week's Mining News.
Although it number of lessees have
been drawing down fat dividends for
some time, the Combination company is
the lirst corporation to declare a divi
dend. This dividend, which will he
continued quarterly, i< for $40,000. or 10
|n*r cent of tlioeompanv'se.tpitidization.
While 10 per cent quarterly dividend-'
are not eoniniou in most mining camps,
tin- Combination dividend is yet more
remarkable when all the facts are taken
into consideration. There was practi
cally no development on that property
when the companybonded it on October
lUith, loot!—nothing but a 50-foot open
cut tunnel. The development lias not
only paid for the mine (with 1 lie excep
tion of the lirst payment of $5,000) but
lias provided the funds to pay for a
modern and substantial stamp mill as
well as other improvements. In addi
tion to this, there is still a handsome
reserve in the treasury and at least
$.‘500,000 worth of mill ore going from
$K5 to above $L’00 per ton, on tin- dump,
to say nothing of the high grade ore on
the dump and in transit. There have
la-en some other mines, perhaps, that
have equalled the Combination in its
lirst year's history, but they are mighty
few.
Another Dividend.
The Ogden-tioldfield Mining company,
a close corporation which owns the
It Zinn lease on the Jumbo, last Friday de
^ elared a dividend of $10,000 or $100 per
share, on its stock. With ore to the
value of more than $500 per ton going
out weekly from this lease, these divi
dends will continue with regularity un
til the lease expires in April, next.
The Northwest and Sontheast Sections
Among the recent developments of
the district, the discovery of the Tono
pah Club is of singular interest and im
portance. It is possibly not only one of
the greatest gold mines yet discovered
here, but owing to the peculiar geologi
cal conditions surroending it, is of spe
cial importance. The ledge is probably
100 feet wide and crops prominently for
400 feet or more in length. While val
ues are found irregularly, the entire
width, the main ore shoot lies to the
east side and shows values in free gold
running from $30 to $130 for a width of
30 feet. But the peculiar interest at
taching to the discovery is the form of
the ore occurence. In a shaley slate—4
to 0 feet thick—the greatest values are
found. Behind this is the usual quartz- |
porphyry formation, the whole being
overlaid on the hanging side by gypsum
—Ftilphate of lime—from (i to H feet I
thick.
While the gold is free, iron sulphides !
show up in places, right at the surface.
These three points—the occurrence of!
free gold in slate, a lime sulphate con-1
tact and the existence of sulphides at
the surface—is the peculiar geological
interest attaching to the discovery.
Mr. J. P. Loftus who ventures this
comment says the discovery is certain
to affect a line of development at other
points in the district heretofore over
looked. The same conditions surround
ing the Tonopah Club are common, he
savs, to the southeast. These same
slates there occur frequently and beds
of gypsum overlie the region plentifully,
while sulphide croppings—conspicuous
on the Little Annie and others—are
common.
Here is a region—the southeast por
tion of flic district, well within the min
eral licit, that has heen neglected. But
not for long. Within the past two weeks
several important sales have heen made
there, n line of development, planned,
and now with the new light which the
Tonopah t'luh discovery throws on the
situation, it is entirely possible that like
discoveries '.till be made.
jumbo Extension.
Persistent effort on the part of the
aide and conservative management of
thc.Inmho Extension comp my to inter
cept the rich ledge of the bimbo, from
which, at a point only 4iH( feet away, a
million dollars Worth of ore has heen
taken in less than six months, seems
about to he crowned with well deserved
success. What appears unquestionably
to be the great Jumbo ledge was cut
this week on the IHI-foot level in the
Gold Wedge claim of the Jumbo Exten
sion Mining company, JO feet from the
shaft. The ledge, which measures full
(i feet across, lies between well defined
walls. The ledge, where encountered,
is not of solid formation, hut is com
posed of decomposed quartz and por
phyry. This characteristic, however, is
similar to that encountered on the'Jnm
bo proper, 1(H) feet to the south.
Grasshopper Group Bonded.
Jas. W. Higgle, for himself and part
ners, has bonded the Grasshopper group
of live claims lying about two miles
southeast of the Jumbo, to Harrison
Dibley, of San Francisco. The bond
runs for a year and calls for a total price
ef $:!'»,000. The Grasshoppers have a
splendid surface showing, but like all
the properties to the southeast, it lias
been little prospected. A force of men
will be put on at once to thoroughly de
velop the property. Jim Higgle is one
of the pioneers of Goldfield and his part
ners in the group are Geo. S. Nixon,
the banker, Geo. Wingfield, Harry Ram
sey and 11.0. Hall. The owners of the
Little Annie group, which joins the
Grasshoppers on the east, and the Den
ver and Honey Bov, which join them on
the west, are also contemplating devel
opment work.
A Big Smelter Probable.
\V. W.- Wishon and W. A. Stevens
left last Tuesday for Sodaville to exam
ine a number of copper properties in
that section which they have under
bond. If the result of their examina
tion is favorable and a good supply of
base ores assured it will probably not be
long before ground will lx* broken for a
large smelter at Sodaville. S. ,1. Gorm
lev, superintendent of the Anaeonda
Montaua Smelter—the largest in the
world—will be associated with Wishon
and Stevens in the new venture it it
goes through. As a smelter man Mr.
Gorndey has few superiors and his con
nection will strengthen an already
strong combination.
Goldfield HomestaKe Co.
The Goldfield Homestake Miningcom
pany is a recent incorporation in which
a number of Denver railroad and busi
ness men are interested. The company
owns the Gold Coin, Golden Wheel ami
Brown Velvet claims in Section 8. about
three miles southeast of the .luinbo and
will soon commence operations. Paul
B. Gaylord, a prominent insurance man,
is president of the company, and T. K.

The Keane Wonder Mine.
; .lohn Keane, brother ->f Tom, of the
itireal llend mine at Itiamondlield, was
• in from the Keane Wonder mine, which
I lie recently imnded fora large sum to
ifapt. Pe I.a Mar’s representative. The
Keane Wonder is at Chloride Cliff in
the Funeral range, about 14 miles lw
low I !ul I frog. The tunnel on the prop
erty is now in 170 feet, at which |>oint
they have 12 feet of ore that averages
$4o per ton.
Now the Dixie Mining Co.
Owing to the discovery that another
company iiad liecn previously incorpor
ated under the name of the <Sold Itond
Mining company. W I’’. Itond ,k Co., the
; promoters of the company o\\ ning the
Tinhorn group have changed the name
to the Pixie Mining company. Pevci
opment is being pushed on the claims
and continue* to he very encouraging,
it is no trouble nt all to get a good pan
ning on the Tinhorn.
The Jumbo.
Tin: Nhws is in possession of facts
which indicate that the wrangle among
the Jumbo owners may soon he brought
to an end—a consummation devoutly to
he w islied.
The injunction which shut down the
McPonuld-Kuller lease has been dis
solved and work is again proceeding.
The Portland.
The shaft on the Portland is now down
12d feet lmt w ill lie sunk to a depth of
200 feet before cross-cut ling is started.
The 34 horse power engine and hoist,
w hich for a long time did service for the
Montana-Toiiopah, lias been brought
here and w ill soon he erected on the
Portland.
BlacK Butte.
The tunnel <«n the Black Butte is in
270 feet and is in good quartz. They
are drifting west from the shaft on the
north'end and expect to soon catch the
Quartzite ledge.
Conqueror Mining Co.
A new ledge was opened up on the
Bonanza claim of the above company
last Wednesday. It pans well, hut no
substantial values have yet been found.
Shipments From St. Ives.
Two hundred and eighty sacks of ore
going better than $500 per ton went out
from the Lewis-Iiichard lease on the St.
Ives this week. (Jeo. .McClelland has
also shipped over 200 sacks.
New tldorado Camp.
('apt. F. W. Hunter returned Wed
Headin' from tile district about it miles!
northeast of Diamondlield and which !
w ill probably be known as New Kldorado j
camp. This district is very promising!
and indications point to the fact that it |
will soon have shipping mines. The .
captain has one group of twelve claims ;
on which four men are at work develop- J
ing a .‘i-foot ledge. At a depth of 12 feet j
the assays vary from $f>0 to $000 per i
ton in gold and silver. I truce Warren, ;
a Seattle capitalist, is associated with j
Captain Hunter in this group and the j
development, which w ill be pushed with j
vigor, should produce good results. W. 1
J. Cleary is associated with Captain
Hunter in another group of six claims
nearby and he is greatly enthused over
the showing. On the O. 1*. S. claim,
assays from the croppings go as high as
$28 per ton. .las. II. Forman has two
men working on his claims. In all
some 15 outfits have gone into the dis
trict in the last lit) days, and the future
of the camp will dojieiid upon the result
of their work.

PROFESSOR J. E. SPUER.
Is Halting Another Study of the
Geology of Goldfield.
I*iof. .1. E. Spurr, the <iovernnient
• ieologist who has tuudea report m the
(■oldHeld district, is in camp for the
purpose of conducting invest ignlions to
supplement that leporl. 1'iom what lie
sees in the mines at depth lie is now
convinced that the ore deposits of the
district were canard by thermal springs
and the logical conclusion of this belief
is I lull the ledges and values will con
tinue to a great depth.
Wells-Eargo Enlarges.
Owing to the wonderful increase in
their business, the Wells-! argo Express
company has been forced to erect a new
building of theirown, just south of their
present quarters. The new hnild'iig
will he 52x12 feet in dimensions and
will he devoted entiicly to their own
business. Henn Cutting, the local
agent, has been in (loldiield during the
week superintending operations. Me
calls attention to the fact that ore run
ning over $H,000 per ton costs less to
ship by express than by freight and as
the shipper is thus assured of absolute
safety, much of the richer stuff is going
out that way.
Alleged Claim Jumping.
There is said to have been several
eases of attempted claim jumping re
cently and the indications are that trou
ble will result sooner or later if this con
tinues. It is understood that in »ach
' case the claim jumping has been on a
technicality of law. While the laws
laid down by the Nati mil and State
governments prescribe certain rules and
methods of procedure for the prospector
to follow in perfecting a location and
holding his claim, yet the deci-ions of
the courts have almost invariably been
with the original locator who showed
good faith even though he did not com
ply with every technicality.
Gan Plays $25 and $50 Each.
Judge Collins had two parties before
him Monday for making gun plays.
One was a lady who had a quarrel with
a rival over the attentions of a gen VI
man fren'. Instead of scratching out
her eyes or stabbing her with a hatpin,
she pulled a gun. For this breach of
tradition, Judge Collins fined her $25.
The other culprit was a man who got
down in a part of town where he was
not acquainted. The whiskey was not
tlie usti:;l brand and lie got quite hilar
ious. For taking sev nil shots at the
midnight air Judge Collins charged him
$50 and costs.
Geo. W. Richard Leaves.
George \V. Richard, cashier of the
State Rank anil Trust company, and
who has been in charge of the local
branch since its start, left .Monday for
Carson. Mr Richard has been a
consistent believer in Goldfield's future ;
and has hacked up hi< belief with the j
cash, lie still has large interests here
and will probably not be able to remain
away long. .las. T. Davis has been j
transferred from the Car-on institution
and will have charge of the Goldfield |
branch.
Eigliteen-Room 'Dohe.
Mrs. Anna L. Miller, a lady of wealth
from Dawson, was in Goldfield this
week. Seeing its great opportunities lor
the investment of capital, she bought a
lot in the rear of the Inverness lodging
house and let a contract for a handsome

HE STRUCK IT RICH
L. V. Lons w ay Hits It Big on Amargosa,
Near Cold Center and Beatty.
The richest strike yet rcjsjrted from
the country about Bullfrog is that re
cently made l>v I,. V. Lonsway, who left
here with his wife for that section about
two weeks ago. They returned yester
day and are showing specimens which
make one's mouth water, the partieles
of visible gold being so large and plenti
ful. The strike was made on the left
hand side of the Alnargosa river going
down, and is hut a hull mile from Gold
Center tow lift'dc and two miles from
Beatty townsite. The main ledge is
said to he fully l.">0 feet 'vide ami can pe
traced fora distance of t,(HMl feet in
length. Where the highest values have
been found is near the junction of the
main ledge and a cross ledge. The pay
streak is from ti to L’U inches wide and
specimens will run way up in the thous
ands. f rom present repoits it looks
like one of the biggest surface showings
ever found. It is understood that Mr.
Lonsway has bonded the property for
$110,000 to Youngstown and Cleveland
capitalists, who arc to pay spot cash, it
they decide to take the property after a
short examination. The owners of the
Gobi Center and Bcuit\ townsites are
jubilant over this strike, as it brings a
mine almost to their very doors, and is
the lirst big strike made outside of Bull
frog proper.
The Original Bullfrog.
The Bullfrog group <>i'claims consists
of three hale claims ami two millsites,
on one oi which water lias lieen found,
a considerable tlow already having hcen
secured, and on competent authority it is
assured that a plenteous supply can he
developed. This group of claims is the
iirst located in the Bullfrog district,
and from which the Bullfrog district de
rived its name. These properties have
hcen incorporated into a company,
called the Original l’-ullfrog Mines Syn
dicate, the name “Original" being used
for the purpose of distinguishing it from
a corporation known as the “Bullfrog
Mining Svndieate," and w hich has no
connection whatever witn this property.
The company is incorporated under Ar
izona law for 1,000,000 shares of the par
value of $1 each, stock all fully paid and
non-assessable: *‘100,000 shares of which
have been placed in the treasury for de
velopment and woiking purposes. The
lirectors at a recent meeting decided to
place upon the market 100,000 shares of
the treasury stock at the low price of]
ten cents per shale. All other than
treasury -took has been poo I.
The officers are J. \\ . AlcOalliarw.
president; tied C. Carlson, vice
president; Milton M. Retell, secretary
treasurer, and the above with A\ . R.
Frey, 1.. L. Cross, Robert Lanka and
\V. T. A’oorhees are the directors.
Considerable of this treasury stock
lias been sold to citizens of Goldfield and
mly a small blook remains for disposi
tion. A number of assays have been se
cured running over $1,000, and below we
give a copy of a eertitieate made by a
leading assayer of Goldfield from rock
recently brought from the property.
Die ledge has been disclosed by a series
si small trenches for a distance of over
300 feet and we know the ledge to be
iver 100 feet wide, and in many places
the quartz outcrops from 10 to 20 feet
