Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-22


soon head the list of gold-producing
states. From Goldfield alone, if the
present rate Of production is main
tanned over s4O,0O0,000 will be- turned
out. The Goldheld News says; "The
largest shippers OF the camp estimate
that this months production will
amount to 100000 These figures are
conservative, as they are based upon
the production of the last ten days of
September. No allowance Is made for
new shippers which are almost certain
to come in on the Mohawk, Silver Pick,
Jumbo. Florence, Velvet, Atlanta and
other properties now being worked by
leasers. And 1t is also estimated that
the production for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, 1906, and ending July
1, 1907, will amount to $42,000000. Octo-
ber has started in to make good this es-
innate by shipping ore to the amount
of $110, 900 daily
The News also says: The Hayes and
Monnette lease on the Mohawk will
produce this month two and one-half
tons of chemically pure gold. AS ton
Of gold has coinage value of little
over $602,000, II means that this little
block of ground on the famous mine
will add to the worlds circulating me-
dunn and the worlds wealth $1,500,00O
during this month of October. This is
at the rate Of $50, 900 day The lessecs
are not satisfied with this production
and are confident of doubling 1t up be-
fore the year is over, and with that
worthy object in view carload of ma
chinery Is speeding across the noun
tains from Denver, Colo"
Mohawk rock as 1t is broken and
shipped, and without any sorting, Is
running from 5000 to better than $500
ton. 1t is being marketed at the rate
Of from four to five carloads a day In
one place there is a streak eight feet
wide that if saved separately would
average $1,000 in carload lots. The grade
Of the ore being shipped is better than
at any time in the history of the lease.
Progress at searehIight
Representatives of the Occidental &
Oriental Wireless company of the Pa
cific coast, having stations in San
Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose and San
Francisco have been In Searchlight for
the past few days making arrangements
preparatory to installing wireless sta
ton. The company agrees to install an
office, erect station, and transmit tele-
grams to the principal cities on the
Pacific coast at a great reduction In
the present cost. The success Of the
parent company on the Atlantic coast
will undoubtedly assure the complete
development of the Pacific coast sys-
tenn. and Nevada will greatly .proht
thereby, as stock reports can be trans
| nitted within ten minutes after the ex-
change adjourns.
The electrical machinery for the
plant which is to furnish light for the
entire camp as well as the town OF
| Searchlight itself, is all Installed with
the exception of the dynamos which are
being hauled by team from Marvel, and
within the next week the plant will he
in full operation. The railroad camps
are plainly visible across the fiat ad-
/ jacent to the town, and the grading
and track laying are rapidly being
4 pushed toward completion. The num-
/ ber of new arrivals increases with the
/ cool and pleasant weather and many
representatives of capital, mining en-
gineers and miners as we'll as others
seeking locations for mercantile
stores are coming into camp daily. The
Eldorado canyon district and the new
Thurman camp at Newberry mountain.
both tributary to Searchlight, feel their
share of the increasing activity. The
hospital for the accommodation of the
sick and disabled miners of the dis
trict is being extensively improved un-
der the direction and supervision OF the
Mine Operators association.
The Gold Dyke Mining company are
arranging for contracts for the erec-
ton of hoist and the sinking of their
shaft to deeper levels Assays on the
ore already taken out run as high as
$50. 90 per ton. The property adjoins
the we'll known Pompeii and the Bios
som, $4,000 having been taken out of
the latter mine within so feet of the
surface. From all appearances the
Gold Dyke Will make one of the large
producers of the district.
The Nevada Consolidated Limited in
the McGhan camp have one hoist in
| operation. Their shaft at 260 feet has
