SELY IMPORTANT GOLD MINES COMBINATION EFFECTED ON WE
THERE IS NO MORE FLORENCE CENTRAL, BUT A MAMMOTH BUTTE BOYS CORPORA
TION; THAT WILL OPERATE PROPERTIES mCH IN GOLD AS ANY IN THE WORLD!
, AH the interests of the Butte Boys Consolidated Alining' Company and the Florence' Central Mining Company, 'of Goldfield, Nevada, were merged on Wednesday evening at a largely attended stockholders' meeting held
in Drew hall, both corporations being represented by a large majority of outstanding shares. By the action of this meeting'aH stock in the Butte Boys covers the Florence Central, and all Florence Central shares cover
,v ''':'. 's- t "'" r-' '' ' ' '' ' the Butte Boys properties. - Thjtse consist of . . ' ' ' ' . ' !
The Butte Boys five claims owned by the cempany, two rich claims at Silver Peak owned by the company, on .which $500 worth of work has been done; one claim in the center of the cele
brated Hart district, worth $5,000, owned by the company; Kone claim adjoining the Butte Boys owned by the company (nine claims in all the company owns outright), and two leases on
the Florence ground, one posting $5,500, the other $4,000, and a two-year lease on the Nighthawk, in the thick of carefully proven ground, and adjoining the Booth gold mine "and just north

Reporting on this property a short
time slnc James U. Parks, C. E., min
ing' engineer, wrote: Vi-;--' ;
"This ground Is in t'n central part,
of the great producing area of the Gold
field district, and Joins the wonderful
Little 'Florence lease, now expired,
which has produced the greatest amount
of gold, of the highest grade of ore,
ever produced In any nfining camp. It
lies on the flat, across the railroad at
the foot of the hill of the Little Flor- ,
ence and main Florence workings on
the southwest, and the quartxlte hills
of the Atlanta on the northeast. To the
northwest, down the elope, are the
greatest number of producers Of the
district, while to the southeast are a
large number of leasers at work. For
about a mile northwest and. southeast,'
and a mile wide, the ground is covered
with gallows frames over deep shafts,
mostly owned by leasing companies.
The Florence ground, of which this
lease Is a part, is said to be the rich- .
est ground In the Goldf ield distriot,
and Is surrounded by the Consolidated,
Combination Fraction. Atlanta and C.
O. D. ground, all richly producing prop
' erttes. t know of no lease close to this
one which has not found ore, though not
all of high grade. Some of them are
of the highest grade ever found In large
. bodies.: as on the main working of the
Florence, the Little Florence and Rogers'
Syndicate. Specifically, the surface of
most of this lease Is covered with wash-
-. inff of the rich hills above, and it
seems to me that good ore can be
shipped from the surface, as good pan
nlngs ran be had over a large surface
area. From the underground workings
of adjoining leases, and surface indi
cations where the hill ledges crop. out,
I think there are at least three good
veins crossing this territoryone a
main ledge east and west across the
southly side, and two In a northerly
direction, one almost paralleling the
railroad and the other crossing It, form
ing at . least three junctions on this
lease. Another vein has been opened
near the north side of this lease, which
may apet on this . ground. The Indi
cations are strong that, either one of
thpe tveins will cooXain pay values st
either deep or shallow depth. Pay ore
has been taken from very near the side
lines of this lease, and a very large
quantity from very near to It.
One of ths Most Talnabl XBases la
the Distriot. "
"This lease can be economically worked
from the bottom of a 600-foot shaft al
ready sunk near Its line, and through
which shaft this company has the right,
, With the lease, to work the ground. The"
privilege of working this leas through
- this - shaft is a very valuable conces
sion, for by it "this property may
be Immediately developed, saving
time from the lease which other-
, wise would be ' consumed in sink
ing to a great depth at great cost. With
probablv 20 feet of crosscuttlng this
property may be Immediately prospect
ed, and verv rapidly extended across
the ground In both directions, and when
art ore body Is found will have nearly.
.. 600 feet of sloping area to work on. I
,. consider this lease with the concessions
of the use of the 500-foot shaft, and
ths situation of the ground to surround
ing leases, and main workings, one of
the most - valuable that can be had in,
" the Goldfield district I recommend that
" this lease be thoroughly prospected by
a cross cut from the workings at the
bottom of this shaft, and drifting along
''isny veins which Is found, to the limits
of the property onU ft pARKS
C, E. Mining Engineer.? v
. The Tlghthawk lease U raver.
Mr. E. Norcross, one of tfie best
known mining men of Goldfield, when he
learned that, Georg W. Bever, man
, ager of the Butte Boys and president
of the Florence Central during Its ex
istence, had secured the two-years' lease
of the Nighthawk, under date of June 3
wrote that gentleman as follows:
Goldfield. Nev., June 8 Mr. George
W. Bever. manager Butte Boys Cort
isol Mated Mining company Dear sir:
Allow me to congratulate you on the
acquirement of the two Florence leaaes,
slso the Nlghthswk. It was the leasers
who made Goldfield, and the amount of
work planned by you and other leasers,
means a new and greater Goldfield. As
. regards vour properties, an examina
tion of the leasing map of this camp,
and a glance Into the history of the
i leases, will tell the prospects of your
Florence lease. The bonanza leases of
the Little Florence end Florence Annex
have practically proven your ground.
Your Nighthawk lease, with sufficient
development, should show the northern
extension of at least one PROVEN vein.
The Mushett lease below you, on the
Laguna, has moved the northern boun
dary of the high-grade district some
dlstsnce, and It only requires sclentiflo
mining to move It still more.
With kindest regards and best wishes
for the success of the Butte Boys and
Its manager. I remain, rujours,
Oar riorenee lease Adjoins the Won-
- derfol LiUXa Florence.
On all sides are those properties that
have made millions for their owners,
and ours, we most firmly believe, will
do as well for all who have, or shall,
place money, in its stock. Wltnin a
short time we shall have a plat made
of our ground, so that we can "picture
the location of the properties more inr
telllgently thsn can be done in words,
but we must say that our second Flor
ence lease adjoins our first, and Is
every whit as valuable. We believe w
have In those two properties the making
of many fortunes, but yet they are but
an infinitesimal part of the whole.
Every Inch of On' Ground Is Good.
Whether it be the Butte Boya, ths
claims at Silver Peak, (which we are
confident will produce fortunes slso,
and that not be many months heece),
whether It be the Hart ground, secured
by our Mr. Bever when that camp was
first discovered, or whether It be the
Nighthawk lease or the claim abutting
. the Butte Boys ground. - Each claim
will yet be an acknowledged Jewel, and
those who then own shares In them will
heartily confess that these predictions
were not 111 advised nor untimely words.
The Consolidation of All Interests of the
Butte Boys and Florence Central, and
1 Extinction of the last Corporation,
' Will. Enable ITS to Center AU Our
Bnergies eat ths Oa and Only Import
ant Problem of producing Gold.
There will ; be no divided, interests
hereafter, and though our greatest ef
forts will for the present be directed to
rushing work on the leases, especially
the two on the Florence, we shall not
neglect the Butte Boys. We shall keep
things moving at all these point,-as
well as at Hart and Silver Peak. But
as .explained at , the stockholders' meet
ing, opening all these gates at .one and
' the same time, so that ths flood of gold
may start this way, means muoh ex
pense for a short time, but notwith
standing, the added properties, and ths
more than doubling of the lntrlnslo val
ue of our mines and claims.
We Shall So Increase the Price of
Stock, but How Offer All Wot Sold at
10 Costs per Share, as Formerly, 85
Ssr Cent Down and SS pes Cent per
loath, . ?..(.'-.-"f ...,,';.;",
We urge present stockholders to take
up this stock at once. Do not let It
go to the world at large. Of course we
will sell to all who apply, but earnest
ly desire that those who have stood by
tne proposition until now It-is to bloom
Into a mighty, monster paying prop
erty, that they acquire all that Is of
fered at this sale. IT IS the CHANCE
OF A LIFETIME. We have all our
properties equipped, ther Nighthawk
among them, except the smaller par
eels, and the development work already
done Is worth every cent of what the
famous leases have cost us.
Thle Stock Now, at 10 Cents Per Share,
Is As If We Had Sold Before at S
Cents Each, Because All Shares Sold
Now Cove What Wore Both Corpora
tions, the Butt Boys Raving But
Five Claims at First, and the Central
Only Its Two XBases.
Ths company never has advertised its
Butte Boys stock at less than 10 cents,
but now for a time SHARES THAT
COVfeiR ALL NINE PROPERTIES will
be sold for a while at 10 cents each..
And those shares sold now will not
have to wait for a year or two for divi
dend retarns. It would, we feel sure,
be safe to say that buyers will be get
ting dividends before the last Install
ments have been paid.
What the Goldfield Tribune Say of
Our lease.
The next day after we had signed the
lease of the Florence Central (now
merged Into the Butte Boys), the Gold-
field Dally Tribune had this to say of
the deal; . .
"The Florence Central Mining Com-
Jiany of Portland, Or, has secured a
ease on one of the choicest sections ef
the camp in the famous estate owned
by the Goldfield Florence company,
which haa produced millions and
which today Is the center of the most
phenomenal raining operations of the
state.; Wlthlng a stone's throw oftha
Little Florence, the Florence Central
hss leased a tract of ground that la ap
proximately 280 by 324 feet and abut
ting on the north on the ground of the
Cbed Mining company: the south by the
Little Florence, on the west by .' the
Florence Annex, and on the east by the
Murella. The area Is almost virgin
ground, as It lies across the tracks be
ginning at the Mill town hotel, and then
running' In a southeasterly direction. It
is proposed to begin work at once on a
double compartment shaft and crowd
the sinking to the limit, ss the operators
are confident that it Is only a question
of sinking before they will tap one of
the numerous high-grade ledges of the
Florence.
"The same company has a two years' .
lease on the Nighthawk, adjoining the
booth on the north. Here there Ts an
excellent double compartment Incline
shaft that is down to the 200-foot level,
end which carried an eight-foot vein all
the way down to the 170-foot, where it
left the shaft. Through some fault, the
former management never attempted to
recover this or any other vein through
systematlo cross-cutting so that ths
new company has most excellent
chances for finding another bonanza.
Work has already started In cleaning
out the shaft and balling has begun, as
there Is quite a flow of water accumu
lated In the sump. The Florence Central
will undertake to explore the property
thoroughly, as the advice of some of
the best engineers In the camp Is that
the lost vein is nothing less than the
famed Laguna producer.
"G. W. Bever ts president of the
Florence Central, and also vice-president .
and general manager of the Butte 'Boys
Mining company, which owns a large
acreage east of town. On the Butte
Boys continuous work was carried on
through all the troubled Industrial pe
riod of last winter and the company Is
entitled to credit for not losing mora',
than a couple of days altogether. The
Butte Boys has a shaft that is down to
830 feet, with two crosscuts, respective
ly 140 feet east and went, that are fin
ished in true miner fashion. In doing'
this work the company gained assays
ranging from 12 to $3,000 per ton. It Is
Tads That Should Not Be Forgotten
Goldfield is only four and half years old.
Goldfield has produced in gold, $19,947,520.91.
Goldfield has paid in dividends, $7,517,000.00. !
Goldfield has one mine that yielded $15,497,250.91.
Goldfield Consolidated has in sight $33,750,000.00.
Goldfield produced in eight months, $12,000,000.00.
Goldfield is building nulls with a daily capacity of, 1,000
tons.
Goldfield has five new shippers on the outer rim.
currently reported that a consolidation
'is to be effected between the Florence
Central and the : Butte Boys, as the v
stockholders are practically the same,,
and an amalgamation of Interests would
strengthen ths standing of the company V.
and enable the officers to work to
greater advantage. - Notwithstanding
this advantage the Florence Central of
fers its stockholders the' probability of
sharing In the success that may come
through ownership of two full claims
at Silver Peak, end one claim In the
very center of the Hart district. Cali
fornia, The Central also owns one full
claim adjoining the Butte Boys.
. "The operations of the Florence Cen ; ;
tral will be watched with great Interest,
as the management has the funds to
prosecute work without waste of time
or energy." - ..
A Teteraa Mining Kan Writes This.
Ooldfield. Nov., June 6. George W.
Bever. Portland, Or. Dear Sir: Alio
me to congratulate you on your securing
'a lease of the east side claim of the
Nighthawk Mining company during your
recent visit here. This is undoubtedly
one of the most promising leases in
the Goldfield district, being so favora
bly located and surrounded by such
? roper ties as the Booth, Columbia Moun
aln, Oro and Laguna, all of which are
controlled by the Nixon and Wlngfleld
Interests. Besides, the Kewana, the
Norcross and other valuable properties
are contlglous to your lease, and the
Laguna, ss you know, recently opened
shipping ore on one of Its leases. The
ledge or vein Is large and strong, and
runs directly toward the Nighthawk
f round, as shown by the compass, and
eaves but little room for doubt that
this is one that you will open on the
Nighthawk ground. - Trusting that you
will attain great success with the lease,
believe me, sincerely yours,
T. E. ENLOE.

What Goldfield Has Bone and Is Doing.
At its first annual banquet, given by
the Goldfield Chamber of Commerce, on
the evening of Juns I, the report of
which covers more than a page of the
Tribune, Mr. J. P. Loftus, principal
t speaker, among other things said:
xeesurlns the Future.
"I know of no way to measure the
future but by the past and in apply
ing such a measure our future Is se
cure. Four and a half years have gone
to the making of what you see about
you. In that time Goldfield has given
to the world 19, 947,620.91 14,300,000 a
year. This without qualification. This .
inclusive of the strong-arm period of
the windlass down to the electric hoist
inclusive of nearly two years of most
primitive methods $4,800,000 annually,
from the day of its birth till now. The
world's record is challenged. It took
six years to bring Cripple .Creek to the
flane Goldfield reached lft one. It ts
rue that the bulk of this wealth came
from a restricted avea. The Florence
has $3,000,000 blocked out In the com
pany ground, and an additional 31,000,
'r' OOO second grade In the Little Florence
' and Syndicate ground. This ore, 34,000.
000 of It, now lies waiting for the mill
rapidly nearlng completion. This milt
hag a capacity of 80 tons, and with the
ore now In sight, figuring on the same
basis as. the Mohawk, it will take over
four years at the rate of $1,000,000 a
year to exhaust what is now In sight
and 600 feet is the lowest point reached
In this ground. A mile to the south
east on the Victor ground they have at
250 feet five feet of $50 oreT-the most
important strike recently made. . It's
the ore body of the C. C D. and Gold
Bar, running high In coppei- 13 per
cent Indicating that southward there
lies tbe possibility of copper mines
clearly hinted at in thework of. the
Florence. They have ore In the Laguna,
at 800 feet, I think: picture ore In
virgin ground, carrying the known ore
sone nearly 2,000 feet northeast. ' The
possibilities here are great, but at pres
ent Impossible to determine.
"In the great production of the camp,
the Daisy, Great Bend, Guartzite, Sand
storm, Kendall, three miles sway, have
been no mean factors. Of the great
total approximating $20,000,000, there
Is credited to the Consolidated $18,497,-
' 850.91: Florence, $3,000,000; Combine
tlon Fraction, $500,000; the outer rim
mines. Including the St. Ives, $950,000.
And let it be noted here that $12,000,000
of this amount belongs to a single brief
period of eight months, the days of
Hayes St Monnette, Frances-Mohawk and
-Combination Fraction a period with a
loss of 100 days, due to labor strikes,
lost Irrevocably, which If employed .
would have swelled the grand total of
$20,000,000 to $23,000,000.
Distribution of Dividends. ' .
"In passing, lest I h Quoted, and tbe
dear outside public may be moved to
say, ;8o, so; but where do we pet off
at' To thess I say. Tou get off with
$7,617,000. These be your dividends; v
these seven and a half millions.' Not
bad, time and conditions considered. .
Like our annual gross production, again
I believe this dividend record challenges
the world; and these are they who have
divided with the public:
