leave for camp last night and begin
shaping up for regular shipments.
Il know" explained Mr.. Friedman,
that we announced that production
would begin several weeks ago. 1t
quickly developed, however, that we
could not sell the ore If we did ship it,
so there was nothing to do but wait
until we could get contract. We have
made a contract that we consider fair
enough. Under It we are allowed to
ship up to 100 tons a month of ore
that does not exceed forty ounces gold
to the ton. Ore that goes higher than
that will be shipped TO the company's
Selby works, at San Francisco, while
the extremely high-grade rock, all
rock going $40 to $3.50 a pound, such as
we have exhibited here, will be retort-
ed at Lovelock. where we have facili-
ties for handling 200 pounds a day, and
the bullion will be shipped to the Unit
ed States mint at Carson City. We
have a considerable quantity of this
rock now stored in the bank at Love
lock, probably $4,000 worth of it is now
available, and we shall commence
making bullion of it at once.
Il think it will be early in January
before We can get the first carload
sorted and hauled to the railroad, and
within thirty days we should get our

The amount of rich specimen ore that
we produce will depend altogether on
the nature of the work being done in
the mine, but I believe we shall eX-

average of more than $1,000 a day A
matter of 100 pounds or so a day would

has just contracted with a San Fran
cisco company for the building of a
ten-stamp mill. This mill will treat
the low grade of the Kindergarten
mine, and it has arranged that the
loW-grade ores of the Seven Troughs
company shall be treated there also.
When I talk of low-grade ores from
these mines, l mean all ore that will
not run 800 a. ton or better, as such
rock cannot be shipped from that camp
at much profit.
Seven Trouohs Is a Mine.
We have been developing the Seven
TrOughs mine only a little more than
a year In that time we have sunk a
douDle-compartment shaft to a depth
of 025 feet, and in all have done over
1000 feet of work on the property. We
have opened the ledge every fifty feet
or so and have rich ore on every level
from the 16O-foot level to the 500
where we tapped the vein in a thirty
two-foot cross-cut the day I left camp,
and where we had exposed about the
best ore found in the mine. We have
done no stopping as yet, but, with the
ore shown continuous through the
workings TO the present time. we have
a right to expect that the fifty feet be-
tween levels viii not be found TO be
barren of values. I believe we have a
better mine than, the famous Mohawk;
know II is better mine than any
thing GOldfield could show after a
years development, and 1 believe we
have a better camp and that it will de-
Nelop more mines, and better mines,
than GOidfield can boast. We know
that the Lodges are rich for seven miles
IN length, and now that rich ore has
been opened up at Farrell on the north.
the zone can be said TO have been DEM
onstrated for twelve miles. Seven car
loads OF rich ore so far have been
shipped from the camp. The Kinder
garten has shipped three of them. Next
year there will be a dozen good shin
Ders in the district, and possibly more
than that If that is not "A good show
ing for new district, I would like to
