~. Mohawk is still keeping up It's

The immediate vicinity of that
,nd ,s the busiest place in the camp.
s;nce the last issue of The News,
a.. uaves and Monnette lease broke into
! ,eet of $3.50 ore, and this body Is
sseping up its average with remarkable
..ns,stency. AS high as 100 tons per
s.v has been taken from the 30-foot
shoot although there is no disposition
- make such a production right along.
The sampler has been flooded and 1t is
necessary to keep down the production
"a the mill capacity. The grade of ore
sh,nped has been reduced by mixing low
GRADES with the high, for economic rel-
sons.
second shaft has been started on
,ha Haves-Monnette lease for the pur-
mise Of more speedily extracting the
ora and large gasoline hoist has been
ordered.
The first profits of this lease have
been distributed from the earliest ship
ments. which are understood to have
been netting something like $4,000 per
day.
Two Of the more prominent and
nromising leases on the Mohawk have
been sold the past week. T. L. Oddie, OF
Tonopah, the well known operator, dur
iug the early part of the week, secured
control of the Lord Bros lease on the
Mohawk by purchasing the one-quarter
interest owned by w. F. Rice, and the
one-third interest held by the Lord
brothers, giving him a seven-twelfths
interest in all. This lease Immediately
adioias the Hayes-Monnette lease, and
seems to have the same ore shoot, as
indicated in the 14O-foot level, where
the ledge runs directly toward the
Hayes-Monnette ground.
Weber and Ish have secured the
Bradbury lease on the Mohawk. At
present the shaft is down 65 feet and
discloses three-foot ledge which as
says 500. Picked samples run as high
as $500. 1t is intention of the leasers
to immediately install at 20-h.p. gaso-
line hoist and put to work every man
who can be advantageously used.
Weber and Ish own the lease with Uri
B Curtis, and the Nelson Bros. The
present showing together with the situ-
alton on the Hayes and Monnette lease
would seem to indicate that any kind
OF lease on Mohawk ground is worth
while. With this infusion of skill and
capital the Bradbury is likely to be-
come one of Goldfeld's great leases.
Ihe term is until January 1, 1907, and
apolnt Of peculiar interest in the trans
actlon is the fact that the Bradbury in
lerests' after giving a twelve-day OPP
uOh on the ground, themselves, en-
countered the ore. but too late to be of
any advantage to them.
Ar Henry Benedict, of Chicago, who
WIN MS partner, another Chicago man,
oSns one-half interest in the Hayes
n0nnette lease is in Goldfield watching
w'elopments on the property. In speak
