MUSHETT AND PARTNERS
PURCHASE THE CONTROL

A deal has practically been cousum
mated, whereby the Goldfeld Gold
Mountain Mining company transfers
practically its entire interest in one-half
of the Mushett lease to L. L. Mushett
and associates, who own the remaining
half.
For the past two months the extrac-
tion of ore from this very valuable
leasehold on the Miss Jessie claim of
the Laguna group of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated Mines company has been
merely enough to pay operating ex-
penses.

Rawhide, New, Sept. 10.-Rawhide is
rapidly recovering from the effects of
the visitation of fire which on Septem-
Der 4, swept through the town leaving a
trail of smouldering ruins and shattered
fortunes in its wake, and, accepting the
calamity as one of the Has To Be's of
mining camp life, is rehabilitating the
devastated section. At no time during
the confagration, or since, has there
been word or look of encouragement.
In place thereof is manifest spirit of
cheerfulness and desire to remove all
traces of the havoc as quickly as posi-
BILE. Temporary structures are spring
ing up in all portions of the burned
area like mushrooms over night. Hun
dreds of men find employment removing
the debris, and in erecting the more sub
stantial structures which within 60 days
must take the places of the make shift
affairs now in use. Such is the mandate
of the committee on public safety, and
it is to be rigidly enforced. Fire limits
have been established, comprising the
entire business section, and within its
confines none save reasonably safe
buildings can be erected. A number of
the permanent structures are already
taking shape, the more substantial be-
ing the Office building of the Rawhlde
Coalition Mines company and Nat q.
Goodwin & Co. 1t occupies the old site
on Nevada avenue, and is being con-
structed of brick. The latter, by the
way, are of home manufacture, and
compare favorably with the best in that
line kilned at other points.
The fire, like the first to devastatc
Cripple Creek, had origin in Kerosene
stove. 1t will be remembered that at
Cripple Creek, Ella LaRue and her lover
had a quarrel, overturned an l-burnlng
stove and burned up the town. Eliml-
mating the woman and the quarrel, the
misfortune of Friday week at Rawhidc
is traced to the same cause. Careless
ness in leaving the contraption uncov-
cred that a convenient cloth might
ignite at its fiaring flame, cost the resi-
dents of this camp 100000 in build
inps. furnishings and stocks of goods.
It didn't take long to encompass the
ruin-less than two hours. To have
placed cover on the stove would have
taken less than two seconds. Eight
blocks, comprising the entire business
section and a portion of the residence
section, were in ashes before the flames
were subdued. Indeed in the list OF
property destroyed was every grocery
of any size in the camp, many resi-
dences and nearly all of the larger and
better class hotels. For time 1T was
feared that much suffering would en-
sue before provisions and bedding could
be procured.
This fact was made known to the eiti-
zens of Reno, Fallon, Goldfield ana
Tonopah through the medium OF the
press. with the request that such neees-
stiles be rushed in with bill attached.
There was nothing doing in the bill
line. of course; there never is when the
need is urgent here on the desert, but
the grub and bedding were on the spot
within twenty-four hours. The spon-
taneitv of the response and the mas
sapes of sympathy which accompanied

company, and will probably be for
warded to sampler before these dis
patches are printed. The Mint ore will
average about $3.50 the ton, and that
from the Coalition about 5000 the ton.
Development of the magnificent ore
shoot that obtains in Mint and Coali-
tion lease workings is demonstrating 1t
TO be one of the largest and most uni
formly enriched ever opened in this, or
any other camp. As a producer of speci-
men quartz in hundreds, yes, thousand
tory of mining. The same shoot is now
being searched for in the Proskey lease
workings, lying to the northeast of the
Mint block. Incentive for the research
is found in the fact that the rich string
ers from the Mint Coalition shoot make
directly into the Proskey leasehold. The
day when the permanent value of this
shoot was problematical is some time
past. 1t is as sure to be a source Of divi-
dend disbursement to the Coalition
Mines company as is the Hayes Mon
nette shoot to the Goldfeld Consol-
idated.
Resources Of Coalition Company
In way of dividend sources the Raw
hide Coalition Mines company is more
advantageously situated than any other
company in the district. Totaling 100
acres of mineral bearing ground, all of
which is gridironed by series of in
tersecting lodges, it numbers no less
that half dozen regularly shipping
leases. namely: The Grutt Hill Mint,
Grutt Hill Coalition, Miller, DeArmond,
Truett and Victor. At least dozen
other leaseholds on this auriferous acre
age are in fair way to become regular
shippers before the close of the present
year. Among them are the Dayton-To-
ledo, Proskey, Grutt Mining, Cullom-
Stacy, Rawhide Avenue, Rawhide
Aspen, Sunbeam, Kaufman, Rawhide
Townsite, and Rawhide Truitt. Out of
a total of 80 hoists in commission here,
-
one third are located upon the Coalition
estate.
The Big -Four
OF the trimuvirate of shipping leases
on the estate of the Rawhide Consol-
idated Mines company, the Big Four at
present ranks first. The splendid strike
renorted from that leasehold in these
dispatches of two weeks ago continues
to hold its values as development pro-
crosses. While the general average
worth of the ore is, perhaps, somewhat
lower than that being mined at the Mint
and Coalition leases, it is the equal
Herewith in way of permanency. The
gold is distributed generally through
out the quartz, both in the planes OF
cleavage and the assuring 1t is well
ingrained with the rock texture, show

of both shipping and milling grades. A
recent estimate on the total gross value
of the latter blocked ont in erosscut and

milling grade ore are likewise blocked
out in the Lillian and Murray lease
holds.

Mines All Working
With the exception of the brief space
during which the fire ragged there was
no cessation in the work at the mines.
Very fortunately, none of the surface
improvements at the latter were burned,
although for a time it appeared as
though the valuable hoisting plans re-
Gently erected at the Grutt Hill Mint,
Grutt Hill Coalition, Dayton-Toledo and
Proskey leases on the estate of the Raw
hide Coalition Mines company were
doomed. Located at the foot Of the
west slope of Grutt hill, and almost in
the center of the townsite, their gal
lows frames mark the northern limit of
the fire zone. The afternoon of the fire,
and while the ruins yet fiared ftfully,
thirty-fv tons of high grade ore from
the famous Truett lease on the Coalition
estate was freighted around the scene
of devastation to railway terminal at
Schurz. It's destination was the sam
pier at Hazen, its value 1925 gold the
ton.
Important Strike
Less than twenty four hours before
the fire strike was made at the Kearns
No. 9 lease on the estate of the Rawhide
Queen Mines company, which threat
ened to surpass in golden treasure the
output from Grutt Hill Mint and Grutt
Hill Coalition leases on Coalition
ground. The find was made at the 65-
foot level, well on beyond the famous
glory hole from which almost pure & Did
was mined some months ago, and if its
riches extend for any distance the
Queen is in line for substantial and al
most immediate dividends. The ore
body is showing a width of 10 feet, is
paw ore clear across, and holds 4-foot
section of $3.50 the ton quartz. Streak
ing the formation are stringers of gold
laden ore the replica of those which
Welded treasure having a value rang
ing from $40 to 5000 the pound nearer
the station sill. That the present body
is the continuation of the rich shoot
opened at the same level last May is not
omen to question. The proof is too OBJ
vious to be successfully refuted So
far as developed values are holding
strong. Crosscuts are being sent out
from the lower levels for the purpose OF
again tapping the shoot. As soon as
the objective point is reached the body
will be stopped.
Regular Shipments Made
Shipments of high grade ore are made
with frequency from the Kearns No. 2
lease workings. As rule the quartz
has been settled for on basis approx
mating 1900 per ton. Recently con
sipnment went out which fell consider
ably below that figure. 1t was not, how
