Goldfield, New, April 20.-Were it not
for the fact that the interest of the en-
tire country was conferred on San Fran
cisco, the developments among the Gold
field mines last week would have held
the stage. But while relief funds were
being subscribed and relief trains were
huStling across the continent, the mining
work continued undated and four new
Shippers have been added TO the list of
Goldfield mines.
There were two strikes on the Mohawk
On Mohawk No. l. a block of ground sit
uated not far from the Ish strike on
the Combination, a thirty-foot vein has
run in the direction of the Ish strike.
The whole body gives values varying
from $50 to $500. For a week six big
ore teams have been hauling this output
to the sampler in Columbia
On the Bradbury lease on the Mohawk
two veins have been uncovered which
give as good values as are found in the
Ism lease and the fact places this prop
erty on par with the best in the camp.
On the January Jones lease on the Cor
nlShman sixty tons a day are being sent
out and an immense quantity of ore is
being broken and sacked in the mine.
The vein is twenty feet wide at a depth
of seVenty-five feet, but the highest val
ueS are found in a streak varying in
width from one to two feet, part of this
going several hundred dollars to the ton.
St Ives has made a record strike.
Phenomenally rich ore has been encOun-
tered on the 250-fOot level and st. Ives
is now figured as one of the biggest prop
oSitionS in the district.

COMPRESSOR FOR LITTLE BELL
Management Preparing to Equip
Mine With Large Plant.

The Little Bell Mining company is now
figuring with machinery houses for the
purchase of a large compressor plant to
be installed at its property the moment
the roads are open to heavy hauling.
The capacity of the plant has not been
definitely decided upon, but bidders. it
is understood. have been advised to fig
ure on nothing less than ten-drill
plant
The mine is opening up at such pace
that the management already has use
for more machines than it's present equip
ment is capable of supplying and the fact
that the roads are now well nigh inn
passable is being taken the proper
time in which to order the machinery
and get it headed for camp. 1t is fig
month it will be possible to haul over
