DEGAN Cashier Nye and Ormsby County Bank of Goldfield. Counsel GEORGE D. PYNE Attorney-at-Law, Goldfield, Nev. The development of the Mohawk into one of the greatest gold mines of the country, with a record production of from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per month, has attracted the attention of capitalists and big operators to the immediate territory adjoin ing Goldfield 's famous bonanza. This has resulted in the con summation of several important mining deals in contiguous acreage, one of the most important of which was the purchase of the Lou Dillon claim by a syndicate of Nevada capitalists, in cluding L. M. Sullivan, of the L. M. Sullivan Trust Company, Peter Grant, of the same institution, Governor John Sparks, and other prominent mining men. The price paid for the valuable acreage was large and two days later could have been resold at 300 per cent advanee over this figure, but the offer was spurned. The purchasers have incorporated a company to take over the property and exhaustively develop it with a view to making it one of the great producers of the camp. The Lou Dillon property, comprising approximately 19 acres, adjoins the Silver Pick estate on the west and is not more than 1200 feet from the great Mohawk. Developments of recent date on the Silver Pick have been of sufficient impor tance to give great value to the Lou Dillon, aside from its con tiguity to the Mohawk. At least eight leasers are actively en gaged in developing Pick ground and are making a mine show- . ing that indicates that the property will soon take rank with the great bonanza mines of the district. On a lease, which is within a few hundred feet of the Dillon, several veins of high grade ore have been encountered that carry average values of from $70 to $340 per ton. Sinking is being done as rapidly as possible in order to open these veins at the same depth at which the great Mohawk ore bodies were disclosed. According to their pitch and trend they come together on the Lou Dillon ground and, with every degree of certainty possible, it is pre dicted that when they meet they will form a tremendous deposit of high-grade ore. At least four ledges of gold ore have been exposed on the Lou Dillon ground that have their apexes within the boundaries of the claim. Several of these it is believed are making history for the Silver Pick, into which they pitch, and from every view point the property may be said to present all the earmarks of a great, high-grade gold mine. The fact that the four ledges disclosed apex on the property is of far more than transient im portance, as it precludes any possibility of a legal controversy over extra-lateral rights. Exhaustive development work will be inaugurated at once and prosecuted with every energy to make of the property an other Mohawk. Lying in direct line with the great ore zone that strikes through the Florence, Jumbo and Combination, then through the Mohawk and Red Top, and enters Columbia Mountain, the property that forms the estate of the Lou Dillon Goldfield Mining Company, together with the Silver Pick, is looked upon to furnish the next great sensation in the way of development of the district, as it seems practically a certainty that the great ore bodies of these famous bonanza mines must continue into the adjoining territory so strongly defined and permanently formed are they. "With reference to the deal and the practically unlimited possibilities of the Lou Dillon, the Goldfield News of October 6 said: "The district lying immediately north and east of Goldfield, and adjoining the town, promises to be the greatest producer of gold for' the. area known to the mining world. It is the general belief that the ore bodies of the great Mohawk underlie the Silver Pick and other ground further north and west, and this belief is emphasized by investors who are greedily gobbling up the choicest ground in that vicinity that can be had. " "Some days ago Hayes and Monnette, owning the famous Mohawk lease bearing their name, purchased the Esmeralda claim, and now follows in quick succession the sale of the Lou Dillon, the Morning Star, the September claims and the White" Rock group. ' ' . . "The L. M. Sullivan Trust Company were the fortunate purchasers of the Lou Dillon claim. This company has been operating in Manhattan; Fairview, Bullfrog and other districts ; but when they found that the Lou Dillon claim could be had, even though at a princely price, they took it on, and have al ready organized the Lou Dillon Mining Company to operate the ground. The Lou Dillon lies immediately west of the Silver Pick and adjoining it, and endlines the "White Rock group on the north. The Silver Pick is being worked by eight sets of leasers. The Lou Dillon has two sets of leasers at work on its own account, under the manager for the Sullivan Company. "The Lou Dillon is one of the best pieces of ground, pros pectively, in this immediate section. It shows four distinct ledges, all dipping to the southeast toward Silver Pick ground, which they will undoubtedly enter at depth. The four shallow shafts on the Lou Dillon all show these veins to be carrying values. The two leases are promising prospects. The Irvin Porter lease is down 45 feet and has values running from $10 to $14 across a 7-foot vein. The Lindsay lease is down 70 feet and assays have been had running as high as $28. This latter lease is only 100 feet from the Silver Pick sideline. Company work ings will be started and pushed with the customary Sullivan energy, and Jack Campbell will get ore if there is any in that particular part." Although this is the first announcement of the purchase by us of the property and the organization of the Lou Dillon-Gold-field Mining Company, the initial offering has been practically subscribed for in its entirety. "When the news first became known brokers of Goldfield, San Francisco and Eastern centers of finance immediately began wiring orders for the stock, and in all the history of quick promotions this one stands pre-eminently as the most successful. The first day after the perfection of the incorporation, we sold to the most discriminating investors 140,000 shares of stock, the subscription price being 30 cents per share. There remain but a few thousand shares in the allotment to be disposed of, and for immediate returns and future developments making for dividends there is not an issue we-know of that holds out greater assurances. Like Eagle's Nest and As-You-Like-It, the Lou Dillon-Goldfield will be listed on the principal exchanges at San Francisco, Goldfield, Salt Lake and New York, and there is not a doubt in the world that it will advance immediately to 75 cents or $1 per share. "With out reservation and in the highest terms we present Lou Dillon as a mining stock that is representative of every known good quality that might attach to a gilt-edged security and we ur gently advise its purchase at the initial price, which is not more than the actual value of the bare ground. L. M. SULLIVAN TRUST COMPANY Goldfield, Nevada losing Trade in Far East. Wllshlre's. Already the Japanese dorrfination of the Asiatic markets Is beginning to show In the trade returns. During the first seven mtmths of the last year our capital ist sold goods to China and Japan of the value of $78,000,000; for the first seven months of this year they had fallen to $43,000,00), a decline of (3.003,060. Sales to Japan show a falling off par ticularly in those articles which the Jap anese now that their time Is not being taken up in fighting Russia are commenc ing to manufacture for themselves and their neighbors. The importations of cot ton cloth fell from $780,000 in 1905 to $25,000 In the present year. Electrical machinery from $950,000 to $410,000. Locomotives from $1,180,000 to $84,000. and canned beef from $1,255,000 to $8478. These figures are given for the corresponding ' seven months of . 1905 and 1906. What words will they find to express the condition a few years from now, when Japan has perfected her plans for government ownership and direction of industry, and cheap Japanese labor expended on the most perfect machinery makes competition in the Kastern markets practically impossible?
