will be finished and the work of filing
the bins with ore will commence. The
battery bins hold 1000 tons, and will
be filled with low grade ore from the
Mohawk for the first weeks run With
the machinery limbered up and ad-
justed, the grade of the ore will be
raised. 1t can not be certainly de-
termined Just yet how soon the entire
plant will be finished, but there is no
doubt that it will be turning out bull

The Daisy at Diamondfeld. so says
the Goldfield Review. is preparing a
shipment of very rich ore. which will
be sent to the Western ore purchasing
company. There will be about Is tons
| in this lot and it is expected to run
about $4,000 per ton The ore is from
! the stope which has been carried up
from the 900 foot level. The company
| has leased a block of ground lying
west of the main shaft to Webb Par
kinson, who is installing hoist. This
| ground was formerly known as the
| Detch & Brewster lease, and was pro-
| ductive of several shipments of rich
ore. The ore was taken out of small
shoots in the oxidized zone, and con-
| tanned about the same proportion Of
| silver and gold as the sulphide ores
now being mined by the company far
ther east. Detch & Brewer sank a winze
from the 65-foot level in good ore and
| then sank the new shaft to depth of
200 feet, but never connected with the
ore shoot. 1t is proposed by the new
company. the Daisy Goldfeld, to con-
meet with the winze by an upraise on
the ore from the 134 foot level.
