GOLDFIELD, New, Oct. 27.--The Mo-
hawk Combination Leasing company, on
the Consolidated ground. is getting into
its Stride and it is now the big shipper
of the camp. All that was necessary to
make 1t such was a sufficient number Of
cars to handle the production. The rail-
way company has come forward and Is
now furnishing seven empties day, and
they are loaded to the limit when hauled
away from the mine. None of them con-
tains less than fifty tons, which would
make the daily output $50 tons, and the
gross value is not less than $4,000 or $780,

be kept up is question, but those who
are interested in the lease say there IS
enough ore blocked to keep up the record

tension company and the Consolidated in

able to come to a settlement in all prob
ability arbitrators will be appointed and
their decision will be binding on both
parties Only one of the leases and that
