MOHAWK LEASING SYNDICATE

The Mohawk Leasing syndicate or
ganized recently by NJ j. Monnette, G. 5.
Johnson, Virgin of the lumber company
]. C. Kind and F. J. Swears, have started
work in a vigorous fashion upon block
of Mohawk ground and will probably
establish the record for rapid develop
ment Three shifts of experienced men
are at work sinking and it is expected
that the 20O-foot mark will be reached
before October 1st. Other men are put
ting up the surface buildings, framing
timbers and constructing foundations
and galIows frames for the big hosting
plant which has been ordered. The
block of ground operated by this syn
dicate is exceptionally good and prac-
tically hedged in by producers.

a mile and half southeast of the Mo-
hawk and perhaps three-quarters of a
mile distant from the Florence. That
this Portland ledge is the continuation
of the Mohawk vein system there is
every reason to believe and the picking
it up at a point so distant is perhaps
the most important single strike that
has ever been made in Goldfeld. The
Portland shaft is the deepest in the
district and the presence of ore estab-
fishes beyond dispute the certainty that
when depth is attained on the various
properties of the camp the surface
showings will be discounted and the
values shown to be permanent
The Portland stock was listed on Fri
day and was strongly in demand. The
company is very strong with thousands
of dollars and 25O,00O shares in the
treasury. Since the strike was made
claims in the near vicinity have adj
vanced in price one hundred per cent.
The company has been besieged by an
army of would-be lessees but in view
of the depth necessary to find the ore
will be very slow in signing leasing
contracts.

KEwANAs

The south drift from the 200-foot

about 20 feet on the ledge which shows
up fine and strong. A crosscut is 10
feet into the ledge with no wall in evil

NEW STRIKE
is MADE ON
THE VELVET
Ore Opened on 100 Foot Level
Thought to be Same as
Rich Shoot Formerly
Worked at Surface

Recorder Claude Smith reports that in
the old Velvet lease now being operated
by Con Driscoll "a large body of ore has
been encountered on the 100-foot level.
The ore is directly under the spot from
which is months ago so much rich ore
was taken from the surface. At that
time the ledge in place was not found
and the values pinched. Now 1t is be-
lieved the body from which these values
had come has been opened up. The
values at this time run from $40 to $50
and Mr.. Smith believes that the next
few days will witness some great devel-
opments.
The Kalfus-Pennington lease is also
looking exceptionally fine and shipping
will begin at no distant date

COMBINATION FRACTION
is GETTING POPULAR

ing was begun on Thursday. The Burns
lease on this ground which has been un-
dergoing considerable development for
a number of months has been taken over
by a syndicate in town prominent in
which are Morton and Cox, brokers. A
hoist is being installed and there exists
no doubt in the minds of those inter-
ested as to the ultimate results. The
controllers of this property, AL Myers
and Tom Murphy like to remember that
in the early days they refused an offer
of $4,000 for the Fraction and that
later an opportunity to take a quarter
of million for their estate was de-
clined.

WILSON LEASE ON SILVER PICK

The tremendous success of the leasers
on the Mohawk has made the leasing
system so popular in Goldfeld that
there is a scramble amongst the
large operators to secure ground adjoin-
ing the Mohawk, and especially on Sill
yer Pick territory which is scheduled
for the next big strike. Several of the
choicest blocks of ground have been
secured by William II. Wilson, who has
already received fattering offers to
purchase these leases at neat profit
but he has decided to offer stock in
them for popular subscription and has
started work with a large force and
ordered machinery for hosting pur-
poses.

GREAT BEND
SACKING ORE

The pumps ordered so long ago for
the Great Bend mine have at last ar
rived and on Thursday evening were in
stalled in the workings. On Friday sink
ing was resumed. This work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible to the
400-foot mark. The south drift is now
out 220 feet and the south ledge will
doubtless be tapped in the next 40 feet
of work Conditions in the east drift
remain unchanged. Ore averaging from
s12 to $26 is present in large bodies. In
the new shoot from the 70-foot level ore
is being sacked steadily The assays
from the last average sampling re-
turned $144. Two new leases have been
let on the Great Bend estate. One to
the Nevada Metals company, a second to
Kuse and Kalfus. A rumor which is as
yet unconfirmed is current to the effect
that Kuse and Kalfus have already
opened up some rich tellurium in the
north ledge which has never before been
explored,

Development on the Madonna is rap
idly opening up an enormous body of
shipping ore in large dyke which was
recently cut at a depth of 100 feet by
a tunnel driven into the hill about $50
feet.
The character of the ore is very high
ly oxidized and similar to that of the
Gold Bar. and from all appearances at
the present time the Madonna will in
the near future be fully the equal of
the great Gold Bar both in extent OF
ore deposits and character of ore.

why Dreams Come True.

There is n scientific explanation OF
the fact that illness, at least, can be
forctold In dreams. The theory Is that
when man Is dreaming his mind is
more sensitive than In his waking
hours, for the simple reason that his
actual surroundings are not engaging
any of the minds attention. Thus II
happens that when some disease has
set in, the man awake does not fell II
in Its earliest stages, although the
active mind In n sleeping body does
feel 1t. The sleeper dreams, let MS say.
that he Is suffering some complaint of
the leg, and two or three days later, the
disease having developed, lie finds that
he really has got bad attack of rhcu.
