GOVERNED BY RESULT.

The indictments now before the

which prominent citizens have been
charged with conspiracy to defrand
the government of valuabls timber
lands, are being Investigated by
Peyton Gordon, deputy United States
attorney general. who was an ART
val in the city last night from Mes
COW. 4r
Mr.. Gordon is entirely unfamiliar
with these cases or any Of the lie
tails of the evidence in the hands
of the government agents. AS the
change in the office of United States
attorney since the Indictments ware
received has greatly embarrassed the
work Of preparing for the eases he
fore the federal court.
The merits of the cases now pend
ing will be carefully Investigated by
Mr.. Gordon during his visit in the
city, and the action before the fed
eral court will be entirely govern
ed by the result OF his labors. Mr..
Gordon states in the most definite
terms that the governments position
on all fraud cases is unchanged. II
after he has carefully investigated
the evidence available In the cases
row pending and is satisfied crime
against the government has been
committed, the prosecution will be
carried on most vigorously, while
on the other hand, II the evidence Is

With two miles of railroad and railroad

True to promise, the great Goldfed Consolidated
mill on Sandstorm hill, the finest quartz mill in the
world started operation this morning and the hour of
s clock a. m Dee &C. 1908, signaiizes the beginning
of a new era in Goldfeld.
The machinery started up on what promises
be record breaking run, both in length of time and
value of product. The mill had been tried thor
oughly that when it started this morning ii in
regular commission and will continue uninerruptedy,
for the mill is perfect in every detail and prepared to
treat 600 tons of a day The mill started with
out ceremony formaty. That had all past Last
week George Wingfed gave large banquet to all
heads of departments and all in charge of mill
construction to the number of 15 more honor of
the completion of the Consodateds IS milling plant.
The Florence mill will start sometime during this
week. The mill has been tried out and the entire plant
was in motion yesterday, and could have kept going
without any alterations changes whatever, had the
pipe line been completed There is about half mile of
the line yet lay. The management will not start
up the mill until this gap is closed in the water system,
for while the big has good supply of water,
no chances will be taken whereby through an exhaus

TO PUT ON LARGE FORCE

The Cuprite Gold Mining company,
which is operating a group of claims at
Cuprite, on which some interesting dis
coveries have been recently made, will
increase it's working force and insti-
tute a lively campaign of development
with the opening of the new year. On
one of the claims of the group shaft
has been suak, by aid of a whim, to
a. depth of 250 feet, and from a cross
cut run from the bottom big ledge
of low grade ore was opened up. After
the first a high power gasoline hoist
will take the place of the cumbersome
whim, the shaft will be dropped several
lifts and lot Of lateral work done
about the $50 level.

sacked up in the bins and good ship
ment will be ready by the first of the
month. This lease has been paying the
expenses of development work for some
time, and Manager Codd states that
after the first of the year he expects
to be in position to do more active
development work than has been done
in the past.
At the st. Ives lease on the Balloon
claim in Rawhide, ore is being sacked
from the 50-foot level and will be sent
to the reduction works as soon as
ready. Arrangements are being made
with the Davis mill at Dayton for the
treatment of this ore. A. A. Codd,
president and manager OF the company,
spent the larger part of last week IN
Rawhide and returned to Goldfeld the
early part of this week. Mr.. Codd
states that his leasing company is now
ready to take out the ore which they
have been blocking out for some time
past. A careful sample was taken
which gives an average return OF $1,000
ber ton. The ore is being stopped out
and sacked up as it is broken down,
with very little sorting. 1t is the opin-
ion of the management of the company
that they can get out a large tonnage
of ore.
! In speaking of Rawhide, Mr.. codd
states that the mines of this district
never looked so good as they do at the
present time. There is from $4,000 TO
$40, 900 worth of ore being shipped out
of the camp every week. Large and
permanent bodies Of ore are being op-
ened up on the lower levels, which give
values ranging from $1,000 to $4,000
per ton. 1t is estimated that the camp
can produce two or three hundred tons
per day of good milling ore. As yet
no good reduction plants have been
built and for this reason only the camp
is being held back. 1t is hoped that
after the first of the year the money
market will ease up and that the
railroad company viii be able to fin
ance its road and build down to the
junction of the Southern Pacific al
Walker Lake. If this can be done, Mr.
Codd states that his company is in .
position to erect milling plant that
will put them in position to take
care Of 100 tons Of ore per day.
