Consolidated Said to Have
Cleared S78,6O3 in August

The Goldfield News says about the
work on the mines of the GoldfieId Com
solidated:
During the month OF August the Combination
miu treated 2,672 dry tons Of ore from the Com
bination mine, the average returns from which
were S44. Al to the ton. The extraction Amounted
to 800 per cent. During the month the expenses
charged against that unit of the Consolidated
company were in round numbers $35, ,S96. So
which gives SIS. sos. 13 as the net profits Of
company work for the month
In the Combination mine during the month of
August the work performed amounted to 656
lineal feet In addition to the regular output of
Pro ore ior the mill mia large amount of ore was
broken In the slopes for future shipment
The winze on the south fifth level is down
oo rect In the Reilly shoot and a heading is
approaching from the sixth level to pick up this
shoot. The face of the sixth level is now in
ore running $50 to the ton.
Thus far in September 81 tons of ore from
this portion of the mine has been worked return
ing S33 000 or 20 ounces per ton.
In the Mohawk mine during August there was
Sol lineal feet of work, consisting of drifts
raises and crosscuts. On the 800 foot level the
great ore shoot has been proven for distance
OF 2oo feet erosscnt is now being driven to
catch the opposite wall. A crosscut Is being
| extended toward the 600 foot level of the Glare
mont, which will enable the extraction of ore
from either opening
Thorough sampling of the foot and hanging
walls OF the Hayes & Monnette shoot has been
in progress on the 250 foot level, preparatory to
beginning extraction or ore 1t has been learned
that the values extend much farther than was
suspected during the lease days and there will
be surprising tonnage produced from this por-
tion of the property.
The Claremont shaft is now down $50 feet. and
should intercept the Mohawk ledge within the
next 90 days. Negotiations are in progress

During August the leasers on Consolidated

The Kinkead mill treated 214 tons of concen-
| trates from the Combination mill during tba
month, getting $50, 900 worth of amaIgam. an

The Goldfield Tribune is authority for
| the following:
| The Daisy Syndicate ground in the workings
| of huge strike. Those in charge of the
property refuse TO say a word aand no one is
allowed to go below for the purpose Of investi-
eating for themselves.
The observer on the surface knows that some
| thing is doing. as In the last few DAYS there
has been hosted to the surface nearly 100 tons
or ore that has been stored In the bins While
those in charge Of the workings will not say
when shipments will be started others who are
working in the mine say that teams will
be there tomorrow. after which a daily pro-
duction of so tons is predicted. According
to the assays the report goes that the ore
Will average better than 500 ton and it is
broken Mt the 300 and 400 foot levels in the
drifts that extended east under the old
workings that were abandoned on account of
| poor mining and watera
| That fine body of ore has been opened up
! is certain but the extent of the ore shoot and
/ it's value is mater of conjecture. The fact
that three shifts are at work on the property
and Go names on the payroll is proof enough that

redeem herself and take rank with the other

| Officials when questioned about the big strike

will be given out in regard TO the mine lit

The Daisy has been before the public long

been threatening to produce something in the

people who invest their money in stocks have
