Certainly it is a wonderful trans.
formation which has taken place in the
Goldfeld district within the space Of a
few years, for whereas some years ago
there was little in evidences but a Lare
desert, this country now has rightfully
taken it's position as one Of the greatest
gold producing sections of the globe.
The Consolidated property, moreover,
is not being handled silaply to make =
big showing at the present time. m
deed, the very fact that the manaee
ment cut off dividends shows that they
have little desire to make a Spectacular
showing for a time only. Operations
in the property have been carr'ed On in
such a way as to add to rather Ian de-
tract from it's future life. Tho mines
now contain nearly eight miles of open
ings, and there is an Immense tonnage
Of average grade ore which when han
died on a large scale, as will be possible
now that the new mill is completed,
should permit of a handsome profit be-
ing made.

KEWANAs DIRECTORS ARE
PLEASED WITH SHOWING

The directors of the Goldfeld ke-
wanas Mining company held a special
meeting in this city last Thursday for
the purpose Of hearing a preliminary re-
port from Manager Schloss and to pass
on two applications for leases. The re-
port shows that there is an excellent
showing on the 450-foot lever, in the
new shaft, where a crosscut IS being
driven to tap the big vein that was ex-
posed at a depth of $40 feet in the old
incline shaft. This ledge showed fine
milling values when first encountered
and it is the opinion of the manage
ment that shipping ore will be found
when it is tapped at the greater depth.
The application for leases were from
Elliott & Co., of Chicago, who agree to
sink a two-compartmert shaft to a
depth of 500 feet, and from Chas. Har-
rison of Omaha. Both leases were
granted. The Elliott lease is on block
6 and runs for eight months. The Har-
rison lease is on block 8 and has eigh-
teen months from Jan. ), to run.

DAISY MINE MAKING
REGULAR SHIPMENTS

The Daisy mine at D~iamondfeld con
tinues to make small shipments, suf-
ficicnt to pay operating expenses but
the management is making no attempt
to record a heavy output for the mine
at the present time. The work of de-
veloping the big ore body that was re-
GENTLY uncovered ON the 300-foot level
is being pushed with vigor and the ore
blocked out in {. systematic manner. 1t
is hardly probable that the Daisy Mines
Syndicate will build a mill for some
time to come as the management is ne
gotiating with the shelters for a special
rate, with good prospects OF success.
Secretary Hoagland says that, owing to
the character of the Daisy ore it is
much desired by smelters and he be-
iieves that it can be shipped to the
smelter at a total cost for freight and
treatment, of approximately 50 or 81
a ton. f u }e-

has wire gold and wire silver side by
side which was a remarkable freak of
the Comstoek at Virginia City, and has
the same trend and dip of that famous
lode. The formation is identical. No
one who has ever passed over the road
from Virginia City to Ramsey will ever
question the fact that Ramsey is on the
trend of that great lode, that produced
six hundred million dollars, and is the
actual extension of that greatest of all
~bonanzas.
The owners of the Hawk Nest have
been besieged by men who wish to lease
the ground, but the owners policy is to
work the property themselves Next
strike was on the Silk Hat claim of the
Fairview Mizpah Mining company, add
joining the Hawk Nest, and being a
continuation Of that ore shoot. The
strike was made by Knox & Co, who
hold the original lease on that ground.
Several sub-leases are busy developing
the Silk Hat claim. The Silk Hat and
Hawk Nest both have ore sacked for
shipment.
Mr.. Charles Clark, original discorerer
of the Ramsey Comstock, stimulated by
the new discoveries, got busy about ten
days ago and has made a strike which
he says is equal to anybody's. He has
shown the strike to but two men. and
they confirm his report. The gold speci-
mems he is showing seem corroborative
evidence.
Plaeerville, Cal, capitalists have or
dered a hoist and will sink to depth on
some ground northwest of town. Never
in the history of the camp did it look
so bright and encouraging. Never so
much ore in sight. Never more certain
that they are mining the northeasterly
extension of the great Comstock lode,
with all its attendant possibilities.

SECURES LEASE AT
GOLD MOUNTAIN

s. Damovitcn, who has been operating
for some time successfully in Manhat-
tan. was in Goldfeld this week for the
purpose of securing a lease on the prop
erty of the Frances Gold Mountain
Mining company at Gold Mountain. A
lease on the Ding Bat claim was granted
him. All the ground on the Royal
Flush is now occupied by leases. This
makes six leases now let by this com
pany and the first one granted on any
ground outside of the Royal Flush
claim.

H. l.. Peters, who came here from
Goldfeld to do the annual work on the
North Star and Alice, properties CON
trolled by l.. l.. Patrick, has completed
his contract, but will spend a few days
here investigating other ground before
returning to the southern part of the
state. In his work Mr.. Peters did not
attempt to uncover anything on the
properties, and it is not believed that
Mr.. Patrick will resume development

NEW DISCOVERIES STIR
THE DISTRICT OF RAMSEY

That the camp Of Ramsey is feeling
the impulse of a new life, is evident
10 all who have visited the camp lately,
says j. W. Halterman, a mining man
who recently returned from that dis
trict. A spirit of optimism is now
dominating the Ramsey operators. Most
of the machinery of the Ramsey Com.
stock mill has arrived, and now since
the Wingfeld interests have as.
sumed control, the mill should be
speedily finished.
The Rather shaft is nearly 300 feet
down, but no lateral work will be done
until the five hundred-foot point is
reached. The Rather is certain to
catch the same rich shoot Of ore that is
exposed in the Ramsey Comstoek adj
joining. The ~leasers on the Ramsey
Ophir are down over POO feet and re
port stringers of good ore coming into
the shaft.
But it is the remarkable new dis
coveries of ore which extend the proven
mineral territory that stimulates their
activities most. Mr.. Pohe made the first
of a series of recent strikes, a mile and
a half south of the town of Ramsey
where he has exposed some excellent
ore. He has a shaft down over so feet,
and will explore the ledge at greater
depth. Mr.. George Spencer has also
made a very encouraging discovery
that pans gold freely, about one-half
mile farther southwest near the road
to Virginia City.
Then came one of the most important
discoveries in the history of the camp,
one mile southeast of the town. This
strike was made on the Hawk Nest
claim and has excited much attention
and interest because of the remarkable
of its ore to those of Vir-
ginia City, twelve miles away. The ore

tent held by the high grade tale seam
is not included in the $40 per ton ap-
Proclamation. The ledge from which
such satisfactory grade ore is being
mined has a north-and-south strike and
bears no relation TO the assure opened
in the upper workings, and from which
a moderate tonnage of Sal ore was
mined. The latter is the continuation
to the south of that exposed at the
Grutt- Hard lease, adjoining on the
north. The recently discovered ledge
parallels the one opened above and lies
about 40 feet east thereof.
Grutt-Hard Leasehold
At the Grutt Hard lease an ore body
is exposed from surface to a depth of
so feet. At the s0-foot point the drive
south OF the ledge is in from the station
sill a length of 40 feet and shows a
face of 1S feet of ore having an aver
age value of $3.50 the ton. This
product screens and sacks at from $50
to $3.50 the ton. The sarse character of
ore is exposed in the drive south at the
50-foot level, although the width of
ledge is not nearly 80 great. The pro
duction of the lease for the current
month will approximate 100 tons of ore
having an average value verging close
to $50 the ton.
Mint Sunderland Proskey
The Mint shaft on tho Coalition has
an incline depth of 3I5 feet, where tn,
vein shows a width of 4 feet and car
rics pay grade milling ore. The cross
cut is out from the shaft a length of %
feet in mill rock. The upper workings
continue to yield a generous tonnage of
high grade and medium grade shipping
orc. Work has been resumed at the
Sutherland lease after a somewhat pro
tracted period of internecine strife in
which threats and epithets were freely
passed by the several beligcrent fac
tions. A winze is now being sunk in the
north shaft at the l07- foot level. Ore
is being sacked therefrom for immedi-
ate shipment. At the Proskey No. 2
lease another shipment of high grade is
being prepared and win go out before
the close of December.
Truett-M Miller
The usual satisfactory ore condition,
yet prevail at the Truett, the Miller
the Portland, the Victor and the Rick
ard-Holland leaseholds located on that
portion of the Coalition company
acreage which takes in the south slope
of Hooligan hill. Shipments went out
the present week from the Miller ami
Truett. Before New Years Da; mi
other consignment will go out from the
Victor.

LEASES ON THE GOLD REEF

The Goldfeld Mining and Reduction
company announces its intention OF not
granting leases upon its Gold Reef
property, until it has been surveyed
off in blocks; but as soon as this is
done, a most liberal policy on liberal
terms will be given to those parties who
are prepared to go ahead and open up
on the estate. 1t is expected as soon
as the company gives permission, every
block will be rapidly taken up by leas-
ing companies.

OLDFIELD'S MINES GIVEN
LONG DELAYED CREDIT

The financial papers of the east treat
the mines of Goldfeld with a little more
seriousness than they did formerly, and
we find the most conservative Of them
giving space weekly to the Consol-
idated, Florence, Fraction and other
properties.
Last week s United States Investor, a
paper devoted almost exclusively to
banking and railroad interests, had the
following appreciativc article on Gold
field Consolidated:
At last Goldfield Consolidated seems
to be coming into its own. The shares
are now selling on the New York curb
around 81, whereas only a COMPARE
lively short time & they were hang
ing around So. At that time, as many
of our readers will recall, we recon-
mended them as being, in our opinion,
enc of the most attractive speculative
purchases to be found on the mining
list, and in spite of the subsequent adj
vance of more than SO per cent, we do
not consider that these speculative pos
sibilities have been eliminated by any
means. OF course, reactions are not
only possible, but probable, but we be-

he is given an opportunity OF getting in
on a reaction so much the better for
him. The company S big new mill, ac-
eording to official announcement, will
be opened up the day after Christmas,
an event which will undoubtedly mean
a great deal to the stockholders. This
mill will handle about 600 tons a day,
and those who are acquainted with con
ditions predict that the company will be
able to pay s360,00o in gold dividends
each quarter, beginning this coming
spring. With both mills in full opera
ton. it is expected that production will
be increased to the tune of at least
$500. 900 per month. During the past
wear production has been confined to
the Combination mine, which alone has
been showing net monthly earnings of
about $4,000. The Combination mill
will remain part and parcel OF the Con
solidated in order to handle its ire
mendous quantities of ore, for, so far as
we can learn. the leasing rumors which
have been flying about during the last
few weeks nave little foundation. As
we have stated, the new mill will handle
about 500 tons per day, distributed
among the various properties as fol
lows: Red Top, 125 tons; Mohawa. $50
tons; Jumbo, 80 tons, and Combination,
rs tons This, of course, does not mean
the limit production of the mines,
which, if occasion required, could. we
are told, supply from 1000 to l.2oo tons
of ore per day. For that matter, tire
Mohawk property alone could probably
supply sufficient ore to keep the new

We believe that the Goldfield c,nsol

tions Of gold mining properties TO he

sented by competent authorities are al
most staggering.

officers of the Coalition company are
authority for the statement that work
will begin before the close of the eur
rent year on the shaft to be located in
the Burns hill section. 1t is thought
that the work of sinking the third shaft
will be concurrent with the return from
the east of f. w. King, president of
the Rawhide Coalition Mines company.
At that time it is also anticipated that
the work of establishing the first 90
stamp unit of the company s 100-stamp

Source of Ore Supply
An immediate source of ore supply is
afforded the Coalition company's mill
at the Mint, the Sutherland, the Grutt.

that the additions mere made to the
number of productive Coalition leases
as enumerated in a preceding para
graph of these dispatches, represents
leaseholds at which ores of milling
grade only are thus far exposed. A
comprehensive knowledge of the work
ings before noted leads your representa-

experienced in finding grist a-plenty at
them for the constant operation of a
milling plant of at least l50-ton daily
capacity. BY that is meant the ore tom

One of the most fertile sources of ore
supply offered the Coalition company is
found at it's leaseholds on the west
slope Of Grutt hill. At the amous

which yields a silver gold content as
high as $4,000 the ton. These values
