THREE FLORENCE LEASES
SHIPPING TO SHELTERS


GOLDFIELD. - The Cor
nishman claim of the Florence Gold
field Mining Co. S estate is produe-
ing some bonanza leases. which
promise TO rival the performance of
the Little Florence and Rogers-Syn-
dictate on the Red King. Both the
Baby Florence and the Florence Con
solidated are now making regular
shipments of high class ore and the
Florence Jumbo, the Won PolenZ are
building ore bins. In all three of
these leases there is "A fine showing
and the possibilities of each of them
is away above the average.
The truth about the Baby Florence
in a nut she'll is that the lease is bet
ter than paying expenses. which in
eludes extensive development work
on three levels and is in a fair way
10 send out dividend notices within
the month. The stope above the / 80
foot level wehre the ore was first dis
covered. contains some very rich
rock. and enough more of good
shipping grade To bring the tonnage
up to respectable figure. Yester-
day four wagon loads containing six
lOiS FdiU went W iflt SdDlDltI anu
the stope is now opened mp for 81
feet in length. giving room To break
a considerable tonnage In the top
of the stope there are eight 10 ten
inches of quartz that from the pan
nings should run close to $500 per
ton. As a matter of fact the mill
returns across three feet. of the last
shipment settled for. gave returns
of S95 per ton this including the
rich streak in the core of the ore
shoot That this ore body will go TO
the surface is indicated by the fact
that n wagon load of ore was taken
out of the vein from a shallow hole
that contained 81 000 To the ton in
the yellow metal With $50 feet of
backs on such an ore shoot, it would
not be difficult 10 pay profits, even
were this the entire asset 81 the
lease On the contrary, ii is but a
small part of what may reasonably be
expected On the 400 foot level,
underneath this ore shoot, the ma
chine drills have fairly entered the
dyke and although 20 feet or more
will be required 10 reach the point
where the ore should be found. al
ready quartz stringers are in evil
deuee which carry values. The in
tervening ground 10 the $50 level is
untouched and should ore be develop
ed on this level the company will
have fine area of backs.
ORE SHOOT IN VIRGIN GROUND.
Again. the 200 level on the north
end of the lease block has found the
Florence Consolidated vein and OPP
of 4 in lon o. IN
The ore appears to have left the drift
and gone into the hanging wall The
drift is being driven straight ahead
TO the line, where an upraise will be
made to connect with the Florence
Consolidated workings, affording ven
tilation for both leases. Superin-
tendent Meikle will then raise on the
ore body and crosscut to both walls
As the Florence Consolidated has a
ten foot breast of ore within 80 feet
of the line. the Baby naturally eX-
poets to get a large body of good ore
here, in a part of the lease which is
virgin ground to the surface.
With almost five months to run
and equipped with air drills for fast
work, the chances for the Baby are
exceedinly bright.
FLORENCE CONSOLIDATED.
The Florence Consolidated will in
stall an air compressor and soon be
in shape for the extraction of a heavy
tonnage of ore. The work of stoping
is restricted at present, until a con-
nection can be made with the Baby
Florence. The big stope on the 173
level was extended for ten feet into
the ore body and the workings have
