“A LITTLE BACK SASS.”
t’uncr the heading, “A Little Bark
Sa**” (which would have been more ap
propriate had the word “back ’ been
left out) the Denver Daily Mining Rec
ord rep lie* to the editorial of Tint Nkw*
anent the Goldfield Mining and Adams
Goliltield companies. It allow* that
the company in it* “insipid" li*t is not
the “Goldneld Mining Company of Ne
vada,” but is a company which o|**r
ateil at Goldfield, Colorado, over seven
years ago, Waring the same name with
the exception of the lust two words,
which people seldom add in speaking ot
the l.wiil company. The fact that the
Record should designate more clearly
what company is meant when placed in
its “much misunderstood” “insipid”
list. i~ patent upon its face. The Rec
ord’* editorial on the subject winds ii|
with the following:
If the ed’tor of Tiik Gomifikmi News
will m im v>u a K ti11 lete ■ tii> i-.il state- ]
Hieiit ot Hi ijynnts fiom the Ailanis-Gold
tield conq Joy, to he used for the bene
fit of slot klbuyers who investigate be
fore ii , cst j i g, to t alter, we can assure
him that Adams-t ioldfield will lie
dropped from the list of insipid*. Tlii*
list, by the way, d. es not contain many
names of Goldfield, Nevada, companies.
The editor of Tub News has done
many dollars’ worth of work for the
Record for which lie never asked nor
received a cent, and largely as a result
of which the Record now has its col
umns crowded with advertisements of
Goldfield companies. However when
the request to do more is accompanied
by labeled “sass,” he will surely re
fuse to do so.
There is a story going the rounds of
the State press, saying that the Chinese
and Japanese residents have Wen order
ered out of Goldfield, the last to publish
it being the Tonopah Bonanza. As
there never were any Chinese or Japan
ese. in Goldfield, it is utterly impossible
for them to have been ordered out. In
LeaiTvitle, ever since the founding of
that camp, there has Wen an under
standing that Chinese and Japanese
would he a detriment to the best inter
ests of the place, and they were not en
couraged to come and locate. It is so in
Goldfield, and Chinese and Japanese
have studiously given it a wide berth.

Thb Ishmaelite who runs a peanut
roaster at Tonopah received a well-de
served castigation at the hands of the
Reno Journal last week, his unsavory
past and contemptible present methods

and other papers should realize that
mentioning him and the paper by name
gives him the advertising which is his
stock in trade. It is upon notoriety—
unsavory though it be—that such ver

LIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT
For the First Time Goldfield Will
Be Lighted by Electricity.
According to present arrangements
Goldfield will on Saturday night shed a
circle of illumination of a different hue
than heretofore experienced. The Gold
field Electric Light and Power company
state through their manager that on the
above mentioned night the juice will be
turned on at the big power house located
in the south end of town.
The plant will have a capacity of 15,
000 candle jKiwer, but it is built so that
another unit can lx; installed at any
time when the service of tlie town war
rants it to double the present capacity.
'Che engine lias a 14-foot wheel with a
dynamo of L’.L'UU voltage.
At the start, wood will be used to I
generate steam for the boiler which w ill
be shortly replaced by crude fuel oil.
Nothing but 16-candle power incan
descents globes have been placed in ser
vice. Nearly every business place in
town bus been wired and a good many
of the private residences, ready to re
ceive and transmit the rays as soon as
the big switch is thrown into position.
Nevada Title and Trust Co.
George W. Richard, of the State Hank
and Trust company, and T. A. Siegfriedt,
formerly of Seattle, are organizing the
Nevada Title and Trust company, which
will furnish abstracts of title for prop
erty in Nye and Esmeralda counties.
The company w ill do a general abstract
ing, title, insurance, loan and fiduciary
business, and will till a need that the
counties have grown into during the
l>ast few years. Mr. Siegfriedt has closed
out bis business connections in the
Northwest and will give bis time to the
management of his new business here.
Several mouths will be required for com
l»iling the necessary records and indexes,
after which the company will open
offices in both Tono|>ah and Goldfield,
its present address being at 1*. O. ftox

MILLS FOR GOLDFIELi'.
Active Constrr -lion Work on Several
Now i nder Way.
One <>f the first milling pi infs flint
will lie in o| eration in Goldfield is now
in course of «• st met ion near Kabliitt
spring, sls'iit a mile west of tow n.
A gang ot workmen are new excavat
ing for the pi; nt slid it is tl.e ex|>ecta
t ion of tic-sc connected with l In-enter
prise to have the null in full u|ier*tion
in nt six wieks' time.
iyie company that will operate the
hintiness is styled the Goldfield Reduc
tion Works. Percy C. Gardner is man
ager. The plant will lie installed with
ten stainbut later on ten more will
be added, us well as a cyanide plant.
Tbe concentrating room is to lie 24x26
leet, equipped with four Frue vsnncrg.
The boiler room w ill lie 28x21 feet while
the balance of the mill is to lie 24x80
feet. The machinery that the company
will use is that from a former mill lo
cated at Garlield, twelve miles distant
from Sodaville. All of the machinery
is now at Toiiopah and will be shipped
in daily consignments from now on.
It has been thought by many that a
mill in this section would exjierience
trouble in obtaining water to run the
plant w ith, but contrary to anticipations
an sin pic water supply is obtainable in
nearly every section. The. Goldfield
Reduction Works lias a well of their
own that lias a capacity of about 4,(HK)
gallons daily and a contract has been
made with the Goldfield Water com
pany whereby a sufficiency of water is
assured for the proper maintcnunc of
the establishment.
Around a point of Muff about a hall
mile to the north of w here the Gold
field Reduction Works are preparing
lor tlie erection of a milling plant, work
is being pushed for the construction of
another milling establishment. This
plant is being erected by Dean A Jones
of Los Angeles, Gal. Neither of the
above mentioned gentlemen are in Gold
lield at the present time hilt workmen
are breaking the ground for the laying
of the foundation of the mill. This
plant, while not to be constructed of
entirely new machinery, is practically
the same as one that would be equipped
with material just out of the foundry.
The mill was originally purchased by
parties to be sent to South America. It
is on the way to Goldfield now, being
brought by teams overland from Gali
forma, by way of Keeler, and is ex
pected in different consignments, a
portion of which is likuly to arrive here
’most any day.
Messrs. Dean A Jones are figuring on
building a plant so that any time in the
future the mill can be increased to 1IMI
stamps. A cyanide plant will also be
run in connection with the establish
ment.
Plenty of water lias been secured fur
the running of the mill, one 60-foot well
alone having a daily capacity of several
thousand gallons of water.
It seems that some conflict has taken
place over the right of Dean & Jones to
commence work upon the ground that
they did. It is alleged that parties
claiming to represent the Goldfield Re
duction works went to the workmen
employed by Dean & Jones, and stated
to them that their employers had no
right to the ground they were working
on and succeeded in persuading them to
stop work. Word was sent to Mr. Dean
with a result that the men went hack to
work and will continue under liis direc
tions. The ground was purchased by
Mr. Dean from Ish and Winkler, and it
is not expected that there will lie any
further trouble along those lines.
Mr. Dean is expected here from Cali
fornia about the third of January, when
it is expected that a larger force of men
will be put to work to hurry the com
pletion of the plant.
J. II. Spiking and associates have
plans well under way for the construc
tion of a mill which will be well among
the first of those ready for operation in
Goldfield. The mill will be of five
stamps and the process used will be
amalgamation, concentration and an
electric cyauiding process.
Ill* rm: LI i ’ UlllUll^ JUillU Mill Ul*
just outside tiie present town limits on
the northwestern edge of (ioldlield.
Two wolls have been sunk and a plenti
ful water supply developed for all the
purposes of the plant.
The mill which Mr. Spiking and his
associates are to build w ill be exclus
ively for the working of custom ores.
Mr. Spiking and associates have pur
chased a mill in the southern part of
the county and already one load of
twelve tons of machinery lias been de
livered here. The remainder of the
plant will be here in about eight days
and the construction of the plant will
lie rushed to completion. It is ex
pected that it will be in running order
in about sixty days.
Mr. Spiking has been in Goldfield
since January and is thoroughly con
versant with the various ores of the
camp, of which he has made a close
study. He is an energetic young man
ami has acquired the habit of succeed
ing in anything he undertakes and his
latest venture, the milling project, will
doubtless be no exception. Added to
energy he lias a thorough practical
know ledge of the milling business, hav
ing operated plants with success in
other parts of the country.
Speaking of the probable milling
charges for working the ores of the dis
trict, Mr. Spiking said they would
range from $t> to $14 per ton, based on
the character of the ore to be treated.
He said he would guarantee to work the
ores up to 85 per cent of their value.

THE TONOPAH MINING EX
CHANGE STATES FACTS.
Pursuant to a resolution passed hy the
San Francisco and Tonopah Mining Ex
change, in an executive session, Satur
day, December the 17ih, the following
statement is given out for publication:
No consolidation of the San Francisco
and Tonopah Mining Exchange and the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board
has been effected, nor is such a move
contemplated.
When the public began to realize that
Tonopah and vicinity was a great min
ing region and that the stocks listed on
the San Francisco and Tonopah Mining
Exchange were good sate investments,
the business of this hoard became quite
lively. This excited the jealousy of tfie
Comstock brokers, whose business was
overshadowed amt cut into by the deal
ing in the Tonopah and Goldneld stocks.
The Comstock brokers first made a
propositi' si to consolidate tiie t wo hoards,
hut this did not meet with the approval
of the Tonopah brokers, for several
reasons, the principal one of w hich was
the great difference in the nature of the
securities dealt in on the two hoards.
The Comstock shares are all assessa
ble, and there are many mines on their
list that have not been w orked for twenty
years, and no one expects them to ever
work again; in fact, the value of no
stock on the Comstock list depends on
the merit of the mine, but on the mati
ipulation of the stock. In contrast to
this assessment mill and stock manipu
lation, the Tonopah stocks are non-as
sessahle, and if the mine or prospect has
no merit the stock has no value.
In “plaoi English” the Comstocks are
gambles and the Tonopahs are invest
ments and legitimate speculations.
When consolidation was refused, fif
teen members of the Tonopah hoard de
cided to join the Comstock exchange.
After being elected mcmliersof the Coin
stock exchange and trying to do busi
ness unde:- the method followed hy the
Comstock brokers, they asked that the
Tonopah exchange take them hack in
a body, and stated that their reason for
wanting to come hack was that they were
unable to do a legitimate business in
Tonopah stocks under the methods pre
vailing on the Coin-tock exchange.
Seven of the Tonopah brokers, wno
had paid $201) eaeli for their Heats on the
Comstock hoard, were so glad to get
hack into the Tonopah exchange that
they willingly sacrificed their $1,400.
The San Francisco and Tonopah Ex
change has continued to do a good legit
imate business in the stocks on its list
at its board rooms in the Mills building,
and will continue to do so.
Notwithstanding the treachery of one
or two former members of the Tonopah
exchange and the jealousy of the Com
stock brokers, the San Francisco and
Tonopah Exchange has a larger and
stronger membership than at any time
in its history.
It may he mentioned that the mem
bers of the San Francisco and Tonopah
Mining Exchange have reduced their
rate of commission, which is now onk
HALK OK ONK PKR CKNT Oil amount of
transactions. Minimum charge $1.
