HEAVY GOLD PRODUCTION

The bullion shipments from the vari-
Gus Nevada camps to the mint in this
city are heavier now than at any time
for years and are apparently growing
monthly. The companies of the state
have passed the point of representa-
tions on paper and are now down to
turning out the bullion in golden bars
ready for coinage and consequently the
fierce at this point is kept busy hand
ling the product sent to Uncle Sam.
Shipments are sent from this city to
San Francisco every few days the value
ranging from 500, 900 to $125,000
The mines of Goldfeld, Tonopah,
Round Mountain and the other south
ern Nevada camps appear to be the
chief producers that market the prod
net at the mint here.-Carson News.

WORK OF cHAFEY MILL

The Chafey mill continues to grind
out forty tons of ore daily which will
average $40 per ton. The production
will be increased as soon as the erection
of the hoist is completed, enabling them
to use the new shaft which will be con
nected by drift with the old shaft the
coming week. A fine grade of ore was
struck this week in the bottom of the
aew shaft which, at the present time, is
five feet wide or the entire width of the
drift. Three shifts of men continue
sinking from the 50-foot level on the
original Black Hole ore shoot. The
uniformity in the values of the ore
found in this shaft demonstrate the
great bodies of ore which lie buried in
the hill.

A NEVADA

The Pittsburg-L Liberty people are
erecting a cyanide plant, while the mill
is kept busy on a very high grade ore.
The report of several new strikes in the
district lends quite a boom to the see
tion. Capital is all that is necessary to
make Masonic one of the big and pay
ing sections of Nevada. At present it
possesses one of the few mines that is
paying dividends while proven veins
can be found in a wide scope of coun-
try. This is not a one mine section,
but a big area of highly mineralized
territory. Masonic is coming forward
on merits and the Golden Cycle bids
fair to share in the profits.

CUES For WATER RIGHT

The Round Mountain Daisy Mining
company is having some difficulty over
water rights. A suit was fled in the
district court yesterday by the Daisy
company and j. j. McSorley, one of the
directors, against f. w. Nixon and +.
w. Stebbins, alleging that by an agree
ment in writing the said parties agreed
to sell and convey to the plaintiffs GER
tain water rights and water of the Sho-
shone and jefferson creeks for the sum
of $4,000. and &c deliver a good and
sufficient deed to said water rights to
the plaintiffs, and that he has refused
and neglected to do so. notwithstand-
ing that the sum agreed upon has been
paid.-Tonopah Sun.

MILL Is ASSURED FACT

That the reports made to the stock
holders of the Longfellow Mining com
pany at Cleveland, Ohio, recently by
their manager, +. w. Carmen, were ex-
ceedingly satisfactory is evidenced by
a letter received at this Office this week
from Mr.. Carman, says the Record
Courier. He states that the 40-ton mil
is practically assured and will be
erected just as soon as the material can
be placed on the ground. However.
that means in the spring because the
early storms have already closed the
road to the mine to heavy teaming. a
crew of men are still employed at the
mill and will be kept at work during
the winter months.

MUST PAY BULLION TAX

Governor ID. 5. Dickerson Saturday
afternoon ordered Attorney General
Richard X. Stoddard to notify the dis
triet attorneys of the various counties
to begin proceedings at once against
every dividend-paying mine in the
state which has not paid its bullion tax.
1t is probable that many of the mine
that have flied sworn statements shaw
ing they are operating at a loss and yet
have been paying dividends will be in
dicted for perjury in classifying their
reports. These prosecutions will fol
low the lines suggested by State Bull
lion Tax Collector Haley, which shows
that while the output of the states
mines is a million a month, only 49, 600
has been paid in for taxes in the last
six months.

rRANsvAAL DISTRICT

A new strike has been made at
T%ransvaal. George Burt and Al Hitch
cock in doing their assessment work
opened a three-foot ledge that will as
say over $40 a ton. The strike is inn
portant in view of the fact that hereto
fore they have been unable to get a per-
manent ledge with values in place. This
ledge may be the opening wedge that
will lead to the main ledge, where all
the high values are eroded from. All of
the people interested in that section are
highly elated and big things are pre-
dicted.

KINDERGARTEN RESUMES

After a shutdown of six weeks, occa-

Monday of this week. The mill is at
present working on kindergarten ore
of the value of 500 per ton. After run
ming through approximately 100 tons OF
this ore the imll will be turned over To
the Wihuja people who will also run
100 tons. The Wihuja ore though, con
servatively estimated will go $175 pei
ton. Following these two runs the
Seven Troughs mine will take over the
mill for a run of several hundred tons
of Fairview rock.-Seven Troughs Dis

RICH VALUES CoNTINE

That the Hill Top property will make

fact. The phenomenally rich strike
which was made there some weeks ago
is improving as work progresses and all

specimens have been found and on the
