$4,000 per month indefinitely from the
company work on the ground heretofore
held by the Golden lessees, and 900

On the Stray Dog Manhattan Mining

hourly. A winze has been sunk from

ore averaging $44 per ton was opened
up three weeks ago and the average for
eight feet has increased to $3.50 per ton

ISL ON COMBINATION

The main shaft of the Ish lease on the
Combination is now down $50 feet. At
the s5-foot level drifts on the ore have
been run both ways and wines have
been sunk between the levels At pres
ent the output is about carload per
day and on the dump 1t is said 1000 tons
of ore have accumulated the gross value
of which is fixed at 100000. 1t is the
intention of the lessees to increase the
facilities for hoisting when the daily
tonnage will probably rival that of the
biggest leases of the district

A deal has just been consummated by
J. C. Mccormack and #. M. Dorsey by
which two groups of claims in the
Round Mountain district have been In
corporated into a company which Will
be known as the Round Mountain Con-
solidated Mining company. The hrst
group is made up of the Mary McClane
and Annie Rooney fractions, which lie
about 500 feet south of the townsite and
adioin the Lone Pine, the Fairview and
Daisy fraction properties and the Al
batross group on the east. The main
ledge of the district which runs through
the Sphinx, the Great Western, Sunny
side, Antelope, Edith, Fairview and
Daisy is also traced through this
ground. The Mulholland lease on the
Daisy fraction is but 300 feet from the
side line of the Mary McClane.

SILVER FOUND IN ROCK
LEASE ON QUARTZITE

What promises to be a good strike
was made in the Rock lease on the
Quartzite No. 1 claim of the Belmont
Goldfield Mining company. Two shafts
have been sunk on the ground, one to a
depth of so feet and a second higher on
the hill is down so feet. For purposes
o5 better and easier development it was
decided to connect these shafts and so a
crosscut was driven from the lower
shaft. In this working on Tuesday a
pay shoot was encountered which is
four feet in width and assays better
than $3.50. This has been explored for
distance of 25 feet and the values are
constant. The lessees intend to sink
and raise on it. In the upper shaft near
the surface a ledge which carries good
shipping values in horn silver was en-
countered and followed on an incline for
80 feet after which the shaft was sent
down vertically. This silver ledge was
from 1 foot to Is inches wide.

from this body range from IS to s25.
The surface ground has all been thor
oughly prospected and the company ap-
rears to be working with considerable
method. A whim is in operation and
three men are working. The chances of
striking a pay shoot are very good.

out from near the surface about tons

says about $40. The shaft is down 81

LEASERS ARE MAKING OF
GOLDFIELD EASILY THE
GREATEST CAMP OF ALL
rRANCEs-MoHAwK

The lease of the Frances-M Mohawk
company is being developed by a double
compartment shaft which is down 200
feet. Crosscuts are being run from the
150-foot and 200-foot levels and the
at any moment. This company is also
well equipped with compressor and
electric hoist.
The Frances-Mohawk has bought
half interest in the air compressor plant
recently ordered by the Hayes -Monnette
lease, and will have six of the II drills
Sinking will continue to the 300-foot
point. The new 25-horse power electric
hoist will be in commission today noon.
sToNE-KALFUs ON MOHAWK
Kalfus, in the lease owned by Walter
Stone and himself with others, on the
Mohawk, has increased the Importance
of his find on the Mohawk. In fact the
developments at this lease are among
the most important in the camp. for
tellurium has been found in this lease
and in quantities that make it of pro-
nounced significance. The tellurium
was found at lao feet, in a crosscut $50
feet west of the shaft. Here there is a
streak of ore 21a feet wide that assays
ST. 200 to the ton. The find was made
late Monday night of this week and
since has widened to feet, and no
values have been taken lower than $196.
Kalfus began working this lease two
years ago last May and has kept con-
tinuously at it from that time. At times
he had to part with small interests to
keep the lease going. Himself and
Walter Stone are understood to be the
chief persons in interest.

HAYEs-MoNNETTE

The Hayes and Monnette lease is now
extracting between 100 and $50 tons of
ore daily all of which runs over $40 per
ton in value. In all about 1000 feet of
work has been done in the ground. The
main shaft is 220 feet deep and the
crosscuts are from the 15O-foot and 200
foot levels. The ledge where the work
is going on is now shown to be 200 feet
in width and the wall has not yet been
reached. A winze connects the two
levels and the ore is uniform in values
throughout. In shaft No. which is
down 80 feet the Oddie ledge has been
struck and cut for a distance of 20 feet
without reaching the foot wall. Values
here are $50 with stringers running
into three figures.
The gallows frame on Hayes-Mon-
nette No. 2, was put up yesterday, and
has been hoisting so rapidly that 200
tons of ore have accumulated on the
dump, the teams being unable to handle
it. The railroad switch will be COM
pleted by Tuesday when teams will be
dispensed with.
MOHAWK LEASING co.
The Truett Lease, operated by the Mo-
hawk Leasing and Developing company
is going right after the Hayes and Mon
through this ground. From the 15o-foot
level a crosscut has been started; the
ledge will be reached in 20 feet. AS
soon as the shaft now 100 feet deep
reaches the 200-foot mark another will
be started. A 20-h.p. electric hoist is
in use Work is being prosecuted most
vigorously, crosscuts being run in four
directions and sinking continuing all at
the same time.
CuRTIs-IsH ON MOHAWK
The Kalfus strike on the Mohawk has
tended to Undue the other lessees on
that wonderful ground with an even
greater amount of enthusiasm. On the
Curtis and Ish lease which is only 10
feet away from the point at which the
Kalfus ore was opened the shaft is $50
feet and a crosscut is being rushed with
all speed to catch this ledge. 1t is al
ready in AZ feet and as the work is on
the same level with that on which the
Kalfus struck it the lessees are placing
great hopes upon this crosscut. Twenty
three men are being worked and the
equipment is complete for rapid devel
opment.
MACKENZIE NO.
On the Mackenzie lease of the Mo-
hawk, the big three-compartment shaft
has been sunk 235 feet and crosscuts
run from the 150-foot and 225-foot
levels north and south. These are now
in about so feet and the ore is likely to
appear at any time. The lease is mag
nificently equipped with a 60-hp. cleo
trio hoist and 15-drill compressor. 1t
is also fitted with a set of expansion
