THE GOLDFIELD MINES
Taken from our GOldfeld Exchanges.

work can be resumed as before. The
formation is changing very materially
in the crosscut at the 275-foot level and
the management is sure that the big
shoot will be cut at an early date. On
the upper levels development work is
being carried out on an extensive scale
and large bodies of mill ore are being
blocked out.
Four feet of $120 ore has been opened
up in the Lindsay lease on the Florence
within the last few days. The strike is
on the 275-foot level and was broken
into in starting a crosscut. AS the
strike is so entirely new the lessees
scarcely known what they have yet but
the ledge promises great things. AS
the lessees are provided with an cleo
trio hoist and all of the best equipment
needed there should be some records
made for production shortly. The
shaft is now 300 feet deep.
A new shoot of ore was opened in the
Great Bend last week which although
not fully explored gives promise of
being the best that has developed in the
mine for some time. The shoot is
about 8 feet wide and ranges in value
from 500 to SIG and gives every indi-
cation of making a strong permanent
body of ore. The ore is not being
broken down yet but in the course of
development a considerable amount of
high grade rock has been sacked.
The largest deal in mining property
which has taken place in Goldfeld for
some months was contaminated lately
when Hayes and Monnette purchased
the ground Of the Goldfeld Esmeralda
Mining company, consisting of the
Clara, Dew Drop and Montezuma
claims for a consideration of approx,
mately 500, 900. The deal was made
through r. L. Colburn and the princi-
pal selling party was G. S. Phenix.
A rumor is current to the effect that
a strike of considerable Importance had
been made Of the Combination property.
!, None of those directly connected with
the property could be seen, but it was
learned from one who is familiar with
the workings that the new find was
= made in the Wendell lease. A shaft on
this block has been sunk to a depth OF
S rs feet and from this point a drift was
run for a short distance and here, it is
reported the leasers encountered a big

There is no end to the wonders Of the
Mohawk. Last week Hayes and Mon
ratte in the stope from the 100 level
broke into s inches of rock which assays
M less than 500, $50. The ledge in which
This occurs varies in width from two
feet to eight feet and averages $4,000.
Since the first great strike of Hays and
Monnette the Mohawk has occupied the
center Of the stage. The persistency,
size and value of its ore bodies have
made claim after claim to the attention
of the entire world and its fame has be-
come such as would lift any camp from
obloquy into universal interest. Occur
ring in Goldfield its presence has served
TO show other fine properties out offocus.
Since Hayes and Monnette opened the
first pay ore there has been no let up in
the production of their block andfigures
now show that this small patch of
ground is actually adding over $l2, 900
daily to the wealth of the world, and
incidentally the Golfers of the company
and lessees. An average sampling of
four feet of rock on the Truett or Mo
hawk Leasing and Development Com
many lease which is being sacked this
week gave returns Of $4,000. This leas-
ing company will probably be able to
pay in dividends more than double the
capitalization. The Kalfus lease con-
tinues its wonderful rate of production
and the eddie lease is still an unquali-
fed bonanza. The Curtis and Ish lease
recently broke into five feet of rock
which apparently will make 500 ore.
AS, however, these lessees have been
fooled several times by the lodges they
cut they are most reluctant to say any
thing upon the subject until the body
has been thoroughly investigated. The
Mackenzie No. / lease broke into the
ore body near the eddie lease some days
ago, and is now hosting the same grade
of ore encountered in the eddie lease.
Two compartments are in full operation
on the Mackenzie No. l and no time is
being lost in breaking down and getting
out the ore while the shaft is being sunk
rapidly to the 400-foot point, and sink
ing and hosting of ore is being prose
cuted at the same time by means of the
two compartments.
The initial shipment from the st. Ives
Mining company was made last week.
One carload was shipped from the com.
pany's workings the ore averaging il
value 500. The Gardiner and Erickson
lease has been shipping n carload
weekly during the last 6 weeks but thu
company has sent nothing previous t
this lot to the smelters. There ha!
been a general impression obtaining
that the st. Ives main workings wer,
in ore but it was not actually known a

is ultra conservative. For some tim,
