MATTHEWS & JONES, Props,
THE BREYFOGLE MINE.
Col. Frank V. Drake Confident It
Will Be Re-Discovered.
Some month.* ago Tin: Nrws published
an at con nt of the discovery made in the
early sixties l>y Breyfogle in the desert
country of south-western Nevada.
It is reported that a company of ex
|X'rieticed prospectors is organizing for
another effort to find the lost mine, and
interest is again being aroused as to
what the results may In-.
t Many persona consider the story of
■ Brey logic'.* aw ful suffering* on his soli
tary journey overland from Is'S Angeles,
i Cal., to Austin, New, and the marvel
' ousness of liis find while starving on the
I desert, as mythical and unworthy as a
; basi* for search for the two gold cap|>ed
mounds described by him.
Men who knew Breyfogle believed his
story, because he was habitually truth
^ ful, and because he brought nuggets of
fine gold and gold studded quartz into
Smoky Valley, where he was found half
; d« •merited, ragged, starved and dying
i trom want of water. Furthermore,
the“»• could have bi'cii no cause to in
j duee he little Dutchman to render false
; statements about the matter.
In an interview with the Nkws, Col.
Frank V. Drake, at present associated
, with lh>n. Fierce Kvans, formerly dis
; triet attorney of Washoe county, ex
presses the belief that Breyfogle did in
fact find the little gold-capped moun
tains substantially as related by him on
his arrival in Austin. Breyfogle was an
awful w reck physically and mentally on
reaching Austin, but he was positive of
the fact of his find and he had gold with
him. lie was ever after anxious to get
back into the desert to search for the
treasure, and headed two or three expe
ditions for the purpose.
On one of these expeditions he found
tiie spring where he hud huilt a wail
for protection from the Indians (who
had previously killed his partner) hut
he failed to find the low gold-capped
hills or mounds. Perhaps drifting sand
and volcanic dust may have covered
them temporarily—or Breyfogle's weak
ened mind may have distorted his ob
servation so much as to make recollec
tion oi localities unreliable.
Col. Drake, then known as plain
Frank Drake, was a boy of 18 years and
working, chiefly on the mining depart
ment of the Keese Kiver Reveille at
Austin when Breyfogle, tattered and
half crazed, ended his fearful journey in
that town. Mr. Drake saw Breyfogle
and his gold specimens and heard liis
story repeatedly. It was one fearful in
detail.
The Austin Reveille of that time, if
the tiles are still extant, will disclose
the story as given at that time, and Col.
Drake believes in the truth of the tale.
He thinks that the recent developments
in this country, through which the
sturdy little Dutchman toiled on that
long and dreadful journey, is still
another proof of his truthfulness, and of
the fact that he found two small hills
capped with free gold and “quartz nug
gets.’’

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Comments on the Local Situation by
Kenneth Donnellan H Co.
There was great excitement in Gold
field this week over two strikes almost
within the town limits and some high
assays were secured from the rock. At
this writing these strikes have not lieen
proven up, hut the finding of the ore in
such unlikely-looking places calls re
newed attention to the wonderful possi
bilities of this district. Many of the
prospect* are liable to make a rich strike
any day and the value of the stock
double or triple in a day.
Sandstorm still occupies the center of
the stage and in spite of the fact that
many havt taken advantage of its rapid
rise to take profits, the price has held
firm and we look for a much greater ad
vance. Samples from a shipment w hich
will goout from the boftus-Davis-Mayne
lease about the 20th, show that the high
est grade ore is worth about $1,000 per
ton, the average of that now reached be
ing $2,000 i>er ton. It is not expected
that the entire shipment will maintain
this high average, but if it does, it will
be most valuable shipment, with one
exception, ever sent out of camp.
The Combination has paid another
dividend of $40,000. or I2?.. per cent on
its outstanding capital. The last bal
ance sheet of this company shows a
profit of $:?20.000 for the year over and
above Jill mining and operating expenses, |
in addition to having about $:5o0.0001
worth of mill ore on the dump.
Goldfield Mining has made ji rapid j
advance during the week, due to buying ,
orders from those who best know the
value of the property. There are many
other stock which will score even greater
advances as soon as the investing public
fully realize the low prices at which
Goldfield stocks are selling.
