INVADE DOMAIN OF.
RIVALS MINE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

GOLDFIELD, Sept with hoists
working day and night on both the In
cline and the vertical shaft, the forces
of the Sheets-Ish lease on the Com
bination mine are boring into the do
main Of the Mohawk, and a rich body
of ore is being dumped directly into
open freight cars regardless of values.
In the meantime the survey, which was
ordered by the court to establish the
lines between the two properties, is be-
ing made and the attorneys for the
Mohawk have asked that the Combi-
nation ieasers be ordered to stay on
their own side Of the fence until the
question of apex has been passed upon
by the courts.
In this connection the belief is ex-
pressed that the real reason which
prompted George WingfieId to buy the
Johns block of January stock was that
he might have chance of retaliating &
by apexing the Combination through
the January vein should he win in the
contest now pending.
Unaffected by this controversy, the
other Mohawk lessees located on the
Florence vein are bending their efforts
to get to market with every ounce of
ore they can possibly hoist before the
end of 1906, at which time most of the
leases expire.
Each day discloses something new
in the way of rich values. In No. 2
shaft of the Hayes -Monnette a black
sulphide ore has made its appearance
on the lower level 220 feet below the
surface, carrying an average value of
S400. This block Is on a cross fissure
which comes in from the west, and the
vein is fully a hundred feet between
walls In. the company's shaft. which
is being sunk just off the line. east
and little south of the Hayes-Mon-
cite shaft, Superintendent Healey has
cut what appears to be the ledge at
depth of 160 feet. No assays have
been made, but the ore appears to be
of a good grade. Very rich ore was
broken recently at the Francis Mo-
hawk which. lies south of the Truett
lease. A station is being cut on the
270-foot level and when the crosscut
reaches the ledge fifty additional feet
of backs will be available.

vote to exclude saloons after the 1st of

the board does not prohibit the sale of
liquors in hotels and restaurants when
sold with meals.
1t is not thought that any attack

ordinance have been passed upon by
the Supreme Court. 1t is probable,
however, that the Incorporation of the
