A Goldfeld dispatch to the Herald
says: A car of ore is being loaded at
the Frances-Mohawk lease on the
Mohawk claim that will be one of
the richest single cars of ore which
ever left this camp, the home of
bonanza ore bodies that have made
men rich over night. 1t is coming
from depth of but 220 feet, on the
Great Florence vein, not more than
500 feet from the world famous
Reilly lease, a sulphide ore that in
many cases shows the yellow metal
in its native state. Assays taken
from the cars as they are loaded in
the mine range from Sl9,570 to S71,-
145.14. The drift, which has been
run for sixty feet out toward the
Florence, has been in high grade
shipping ore for the entire distance,
with the values gradually increasing.
Thirty feet back of this extremely
rich bunch a raise and winze are
both in ore that average close to
$1,000 per ton. The shaft on this
lease is 270 feet deep, and from the
bottom crosscut has been started
for the ledge which, when it arrives,
will give the leasing company fifty
additional feet of backs and enable
them to greatly increase the output.
Silver City is in a more prosperous
condition, and more business is being
done there now than at any time for
many years. The new smelter keeps
a large force of men busy. The new
concentration is nearly completed,
and when that is going another large
force of men will be employed in at
tending to it, and a large force of
men will be employed furnishing it
with ores. A string of teams are on
the road from Leopold to SILVER City,
bringing in concentrates, and carry
ing out supplies, and this makes a
<~f
row guage railroad to Pinos Altos is
busy concern, and employs large
number of men, and a much larger
number are employed furnishing it
freight. Perhaps the most important
new industry is the one that made
Southern California rich, the lungers
and the pleasure seekers. A large
number of people have moved to Sill
yer City, on account of the climate,
because some member of the family
needed such climate to relieve the
suffering from the white plague.
Many of these people are well off in
worldly goods. They are engaging
in various lines of business, and
building residences in which to live.
There are some forty or fifty resi-
dences now in course of construction,
and many more planned. Except
the concentration the largest building
now being erected is the new hall
the Elks are building.
