Dkar Sir:—The Daily Mining
Record, of Denver. Colo., in its
issue of Dee. dd, 1904. includes in
its “insipid” list, the Goldfield
Mining company, of Nevada. “(2)
defunct.” This seems a puzzle to
us. All the reports that we have
come across have been very favor
able as to said company. Can you
give us some enlightenment? The
writer has recently ordered 100
shares of the Goldfield Mining
company’s stock, and another p‘*r'y
in our hank has a small amount
VV e are therefore interested in tlnj
matter. Thanking you in advance,
we are Yours truly.
E. \V. Fimikr,
E KoTKHMr.NI>.
Before commenting upon tin
above letter a little explanation
will serve to make the matter
clearer to those who are not fully
posted. The Ihiily Mining Record,
for the benefit of its subscribers.]
has an ‘'information department.”
and upon reipiest will endeavor to
ascertain the physical and finan
cial condition of any mining com
pany, the object being to give the
subscribers a better opportunity of
judging of the merits of its stock
as an investment. From personal
knowledge of the Record and it.'
owners, we believe they are thor
oughly honest in doing this and do
riot use it as a means of blackmail
ing, as • 1 <• many alleged mining
papers including some not a thou
sand miles from (ioldfield.
But, no matter how honest a
paper or man may be, what with
propriety may be askkh can be put
in the form of a ns.M.vxn, which a
Self-respecting man will ignore, es
pecially if the latter has reason to
feel the n ipiest or demand is made
♦>V one who lias no right to make
it. We venture the assertion that
a large proportion of labor troubles
and strikes have been caused, not
so much because of concessions
aski d. hilt because of the w ay in
which one side or the other 1>K
Maxi*ki* certain things.
Helling i>a« K to me case m pomi.
The (ioldtield Mining company of
Nevada is neither insipid nor de
funct. It i> the pioneer mining
Company of the district, and is offi
cered hv men of tin- highest stand
ing in < midfield. It owns the
great January mine, from the ho-'
nanza lease on which the company j
i- accummulating a handsome j
treasury reserve which will he used
in a manner to hest subserve the
interest- of all the stoekholder
tvlien the lea-" expires next month.
Besides the .January, the company
owns six other excellently located i
claims, which it i- believed need
onlv development to make them
possible rival- to tic- January.
Hundred- of prominent mining
« n from tic- world over have been
tendered the courtesy of inspecting
its property ami no stockholder,
large or small, would ever la* de
nied information from tic* hooks.
The above being true, it seems
peculiar that the Record should
place the < loldticld Mining com
pany in its "insipid” list. It is
probable that the Record, at the
request of a stock holder, sent let
ters asking for information which,
owing to faulty mail service, were
not received here. As the < idd
field Mining company has never
offered its stock to the general pub
lic, it is under no obligation to give
information to tin Record editor
or anyone else not a stockholder.
But. nevertheless, we know Secre
tary Bragdon is too courteous •>>
leftist any proper request, if prop
erly pre-eiitcd. Then* i- a vast
difference, in their relation- to a
legitimate tiewspa|>er. between a
company which advertises its stock
to the general public, and one which
is practically a dose ooporat ion. The '
former is morally bound to furnish
such information the latter can
he expected to do so onlv as a mat*
ter of courtesy.
The Adams ( ioldticld company. I
which is officered hy practically
the same men as the (ioldticld
Mininp company of Nevada, has
also been placed hy the Record in
' its “insipid” list. There is no pood
! excuse for this, either. The Adams
| is not yet a shipper, hut it has
j ojH>ned up pood bodies of mill ore
and the company is workinp its
property steadily and honestly.with
much better prospects for succecs
than the larpe majority of com
panies even in this preat district.
With these facts before the Rec
ord and it knows they would not
appear in these columns if they
were not facts--we look for the
immediate withdrawal of these
companies from the Record’s “in
sipid" list, and an apology for the
injustice unintentional we are
positivi—that it has done two of
the best managed companies in the
(ioldticld district.
And Still Another.
Ami still the il.1 hi iliviileml money;
ji<mrs in from the '/Ann lease, says the I
I'tah State Journal, hast evening the j
Ogden - Goldfield company declared j
another division of $100 a share, nearly all !
of which was distributed among Ogden
people. This is one of the most won-|
derful producers in the world-famed
camp, paying something like 100 per
cent a week in dividends. The lease on
the property, a section of the Jumbo
lode, runs for several months longer.
