The differences between the Florence
Goldfield Mining company and the Lit
tie Florence Mining company, growing
out of the violation of the terms of the
lease on the part of the latter company
have been finally adjusted to the sat
isfaction of all parties concerned and
the injunction proceedings instituted by
the parent company against the leasers
will be withdrawn.
BY the terms Of the settlement. the
Little Florence has paid the Florence
Goldfield company $177.s00 for ore ex-
tracted from the ground of the Flor
ence company, beyond the lines of the
lease block and from the sill floors of
the two levels, which they should not
have touched. The settlement was based
on the extraction of 772 tons of ore at
an average value of $500 a ton, treat
ment charges. freight and other ex-
penses incident to the handling or the
ore being deducted.
In addition to the payment Of for
tune in cash for trespassing the Little
Florence company surrenders that part
of the lease block that bad been sub
leased to the Mohawk Florence company
and agrees to sink a vertical shaft from
the top of the hill to depth of 500 feet.
Work on this shaft is well under way.
In the meantime the Little Florence
will be allowed to use the Mohawk

MANY CAVE-INS IN MOHAWK
BY REASON OF SHUT DOWN

Work was resumed In the Mohawk
and Combination mines last Sunday and
the Combination mill Is again I'm opera
tion. IT viii probably be several weeks
before the output from these two mines
reach normal figures. This is especially
true of the Mohawk as during the shut
down several caves occurred in different
parts of the big mine that will necessi-
tate considerable retimbering and natur-
ally cause more or less delay in the ex-
traction of ore. However no serious
damage resulted from the caves and the
output from the mine will soon be as
heavy as ever.
The Combination mine is in good
shape and but little delay was experi-
enced in getting things running full
swing.
No date has been fixed for the post
poned meeting OF the directors of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines company
and II looks as though the shareholders
would have TO wait awhile longer for
the promised dividend. Mr.. wingfeld

Tonopah. Sept. 1.-THE lack of power
is at present retarding the production

pany is bringing on more juice as fast
as possible, and will have another line
in here before another month rolls py.
At least such is the promise that mas

The Montana Tonopah. for reason OF
lack of power has not got down to Its
full capacity, and is still running but
twenty stamps of its forty. For last
week the Belmont sent only $50 tons
through the mill, and this was only 2to
tons more than the output of the Mon
tana. The Tonopah Mining company
sent to the mill 2.19o tons. II there
were the requisite power here. the last
named company should be running $500
tons weekly through the mill, the Bel
mont. e.1Oo, and the Montana at least
400. 1t is claimed for the Tonopan
Mining company and the Belmont that
the ore which goes through he mill
will average $50 ton. The ore that
has been going through the mill of the
Montana Tonopah will go about SIT to
the ton. At this rate the production Of
amount to $1s2.s00 a week.
The number of tons shipped to the
smelter last week was 2,33S, some OF
which will go over 500 ton. and none
of which will go below $40 ton. Aver
aging the lot at $S5 ton, it will make
the value Of the ore shipped away,

to $17.31s,s6o.

The Nevada Mining company, one of
the properties controlled by E. r. Ar
gersinger. is rapidly developing Its lease
block adjoining the florence Leasing
and Mining block on the Florence
ground. The shaft is down 4s5 feet and
they are still sinking. An upraise which
is being put in on the 3s5-foot level
about fifty feet east OF the shaft has
cut a six-foot vein about thirty feet
from the floor of the level. The uprafse
is up forty feet and the last ten feet IL
in the ore. The SAME vein was cut In
the shaft at a depth Of 460 feet A winze
has been started from the 196-foot level
to catch this same vein. The winze is
about so feet east of the shaft, at which
point large amount of high grade ore
has been extracted in the past. the aver
age value of which was between $500
and 5000 ton.
Mr. Argersinger believes that this
vein which has already been cut In the
upraise and in the shaft. will be tapped
on the 500-foot level. which will give
plenty of backs and promises TO develop
a fine body of shipping ore. While II is

the company will have about 200 feet of

Another body of phenomenally rich
ore has been opened up in the southwest
end of the lease block. near the Mohawk
line. The ore here is strictly high
grade and plays a big part in the pro-
duction figures.
