telegram was received In this city
yesterday, from the manager OF the
Nevada Hills Leasing company, Harry
c. Morris. operating what has come to
be known as the Knox" lease on the
Nevada Hills, bearing news OF the
greatest import to those interested in
the Fairview bonanza.
The telegram related that feet OF
high grade shipping ore had been cut at
the 150-foot level, and at this point they
are prosecuting the ledge and are in
feet and no hanging wall in sight. AS
they have this ore in the other level
and are certain from other developments
to get it still deeper, the Nevada HIS

of its owners that the mine Is in the
premier class and one Of the very great

a higher grade than IS ton. the pro-
fit will be correspondingly greater. and
as II works out on paper 1t makes the
mouth water.
The principle Of the machine is very
simple. 1t is made up of two boxes Of
which the tops are closely woven can
vas. The box is filled with compressed
air. under regulated pressure. which es-
capes upward through the canvas. The
tables Jig rapidly within the limits Of
quarter of an inch and the air current
therefore slightly lifts the waste mater
ial of lighter specific gravity than the
values which are retained by effective
devices.
With the air pressure on. the pulp
appears to boil. and as it has been put
through a fifty mesh screen 1t is so
fine that it seems almost to flow. To
touch 1t has no weight. this being nearly
compensated by the upward pressure
of the air. and the sands are jigged rap
idly toward the discharge end of the
tables. The plant on the Florence cost
about $4,000.

levels and as many men put to work
as can be profitably be employed and an
enormous tonnage will be hoisted. Ore
bins have been erected and 5 ore sortera
are on the ground ready to begin busi-
ness. They will have plenty to do. for
there are two hoists and an air COM
pressor on the ground. and the immedi-
ate locality Of the lease presents the
busy scenes around the Mohawk in this
camp.
The Nevada Hills mine is less than a
year old, and has paid three dividends OF
$1,000 each. from ore taken out of the
mine in the course Of development work
only.
1t might be said in passing, that the
so-called Knox lease is a promotion OF
Harry Morris, formerly of Goldfeld. to
whom the entire credit is due for the
magnificent results obtained upon the
lease. Mr.. Morris selected the ground,
organized the company, is vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany and has been in immediate charge
of the work from the first. How the
lease came to be known as the Knox
lease, is a puzzle to the friends Of Mr..
Morris, to whom. they insist. the entire
credit is due.

The market opened with a fairly ac-
tive demand on Tuesday but sagged to-
ward the close, prices for all the stocks
falling off from five to ten points. with
but few sales however.
Wednesday a similar state of affairs
obtained. Thursday morning there was
a decided revival in strength. due to
the receipt of a bach of buying orders
from the East, and all the stocks moved
upward q few points. Yesterday the
market was fairly strong during the
morning and afternoon sessions, with

that the operators are about to install

general opinion among the Goldneio

A mill for the concentration of ore
without the use Of water has just been
erected on the ground of the Little
Florence Mining company. The first
runs have been extraordinarily success
full, and have shown an adaptability In
the dry concentrator which has been
denied II for years.
Assay No. on ore valued at $62.4o
gave the following results: heads.
s62.4O; concentrates, $4,000; tails. $3.50
or concentration of SIS per cent
Assay No. on ore containing large
quantities of horn silver in addition to
gold values was as follows: heads,
s327S0: tails. s41.oo; concentrates,
$4.1S0.O9 or a saving Of 80 per cent.
Ore assayed by Baverstock & Staples
Of Los Angeles gave interesting returns.

erected on the Little Florence will main

The mill contains a crusher, a pulveri-
ger, and two Shumway Tables.
The percentage of saving will average

fit.
The invention has been perfected after
five years of continuous labor. and is
the invention of DIR. J. p. Shumway of
Los Angeles, assisted by his son Willis

the machine to it's present point of per-
fection and to fully protect 1t by pat

The Fairview and Cherokee lease has

Whittemore & Company has a shaft
down 100 feet and sinking will be re-
sumed as soon as the hoist, which has
been ordered, arrives.

The Mohawk Daisy Leasing and Min

is fully equipped with machinery and
the shaft is down 220 feet. A drift Is
being run for the Red Top vein. The
shaft is but short distance from the
recent diamond drfii strike on the La
guna.
The Baby Florence shaft No. I. is
down 215 feet and a crosscut is being
driven on the 150-foot level. The shaft
will be sent right down to the 300-foot
point and a crosscut driven for the
Little Florence vein. Shaft No. 2, for
merly the Peer and Pugh, is down 2S5
feet and crosscut is being driven on
that level to connect with the No. 8
shaft, which is now down 240 feet
llohawk Ledge
The Mohawk Ledge is cutting a sta

point a drift will be run for short
distance to get under the big body of
ore that was found on the 310-foot level
An upraise will then be put in to con-
meet the two levels. The shaft will
be continued down to $50 feet at once.
