RATE RAISED SECOND TIME
SHELTERS Have No Money to Pay for
Goldfield Ore, Hence Make
Prohibitive Rate.

Goldfield, New, Nov. 1S-The sam
piers OF the Goldfeld district have no.
titled the mine owners that the smelt-
ers have again raised the rate on Gold
field ores, this being the second time
within ten days. The smelters are in
no position to take ore AMI pay for it,
so they are trying to restrict shipments
by making the rate prOhibitive The
Consolidated let out all men today who
were working on ore in the Mohawk, as
they will not pay the new rate. 1t is
believed that as soon as money mat
tiers arc adjusted the smelters will re-
turn to their old rate and the mines
will resume shipping. The new rate,
it is thought, will work a serious in
jury to leasers, many Of whom, al
though in ore, will have to close down
for want Of a market.
