WATER SUPPLY ASSURED
FOR THE FLORENCE MILL

The Florence is completing it's water
system for the new mill under construc-
tion. The company has used great fore
sight in corralling various water rights
and by the time the mill is ready for
operation there will be an abundant
water supply for all purposes.
The company has just let contract
for the ditch work for the pipe line
which Is to convey the water from
springs west OF town to the reservoir on
Little Florence hill. This reservoir
stands upon one OF the most prominent
hills in the district. and within only a
short distance from the Florence mill.
The pipe has been ordered for the pipe
line and II will be ready for use In a
short time.
The big frame structure for the Flor
ence mill is nearly completed and is far
the most conspicuous object In the land
scape on the east side of the district.

The Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company has a new general manager in
the person Of J. H. Mackenzie, one Of
country. Mr. Mackenzie was elected a
director of the Consolidated at the
stockholders meeting at Cheyenne, last
week, and at a meeting of the directors
of the company in Goldfield this week,
he was elected general manager to sue
ceed John Wellington Finch, who has
been made consulting engineer.
The other officers elected were as fol-
lows: Senator George s. Nixon presi-
dent; George Wingfield, vice president;
J. M. Fenwick. secretary; John s. Cook.
treasurer.
The names of Mr.. Finch and of Gov
ernor Thomas did not appear among
the directors elected, but is understood
that Governor Thomas was member
of the board last year by reason of his
position of general counsel; and as the
company was just organizing it was
thought wise to have him upon the d.
rectory. His place was taken this year
by j. d. Hubbard. representing the
Chicago men who sold the Combination
to the Consolidated and took stock in
payment. Five out of the seven direc-
tors were elected as Nixon and Wing
field men, and all the officers of the COM
pany represent these interests Gov
ernor Thomas firm still remains as gem
eral counsel of the company
The outcome of the stockholders
meeting should set at rest all rumors

NEVADA GOLDFIELD DOUBLES
CAPACITY OF QUARTZ MILL

The Nevada Goldfeld Reduction COM
pany is about to put into commission a
splendid quartz mill which will in
crease the milling capacity of the dis
trict by 100 tons daily. This company
already had a small plant, but 1t has
been working on an addition for some
time, and the enlarged mill will be at
work within a day or two. although IN
fact, 1T has already been running
through some ore to secure a proper ad-
justment of the machinery.
The starting of this mill at this par
ticular time is of two-fold benefit to
Goldfield. In the first place 1t increases
the facilities for ore reduction at a time
when the smelters find themselves un-
able to handle the Goldfield output. In
the second place. it insures ready cash
money to the shipper. The product of
the new mill is bullion or gold bricks.
These bricks are sent to the mint and
the returns come back. not in checks or
clearing house certificates. but in gold
coin, which will be for distribution in
the Goldfield district.

Up to the present time. the mill at the
Nevada Goldfeld Reduction works has
been treating $50 ore up to it's capacity
of so tons per day. The company now
proposes to increase the output to the
capacity of the mill, or 100 tons per
day. and the ore treated will be of the
value of 800 per ton, making the out
put $4,000 per day bullion.
