substantial mining enterprises of this
section of Nevada. The corridors of
quartz stringcrs, and is a good pros
p~ective section. Fair milling values
have been found on the property. The
company has done considerable work,
and driven a tunnel at least 100 feet
on one claim; the breast is in a syenite
porphyry, showing considerable live
iron, but has been unable to get any
gold values to speak of from the rock.
We would not advise investment in this
property, without the closest inspection
of the condition of the company, its
finances and plans.
A. z. NJ, Philadelphia. We have re-
ceived your diagrams calling attention
to section No. 81, but do not compre-
bend Just wha. you are driving at. You
say the tracing you make through block
81 represents what will be the richest
district il the camp, in time, but as the
tracing IS on plain paper, without in
dicating claims, etc. we cannot follow
you. Please indicate the claims through
which your line is supposed to run, and
give reasons fer your belief that the
line indicates the particular strip that
will prove the ''prodigious producer of
precious metals you predict. You say
"the Mohawk and Florence will be far
outclassed by riches of section 81
Upon what do you base your predic-
tionss We sincerely hope they will
prove true.
p. J.. NJ, sheboygan, Wis. We can
give no explanation for the slump In
Combination Fraction stock other than
that which applies to the whole list.
Mine conditions are good and there are
no legal complications. The company
has lately been devoting much of its
work to connecting the LOTUS and
This work has been accomplished and
the former shaft has been closed and
all company work is being done through
the Oddie shaft. Some ore is being
shipped right along. The Little-Flor-
enee lease on Combination Fraction
ground is beisg vigorously worked, and
the shaft material is now oil the GROUND

cording to terms of the lease.
j. G. D., San Rafael, Cal. You under
estimate the size and Importance of the
Florence mill. While it is true that the
initial battery will only be 20 stamps,
the superstructure is built to accom-
modate three or four batteries of the
same size. One reason, perhaps, the
most important-why the mill has been
so long in building, was the long delay
in getting the machinery on the ground.
The mills which turned out the machin-
cry were slow and after shipment was
made, it got lost and distributed all
over the country, and the cars were
located with utmost difficulty.
H. E. R., Milwaukee. Donald Fergu-
son has just returned to Goldfield after
an extended absence, and states that
work will begin Immediately upon the
Congo tunnel and other properties of

the surface they leach out.
L. G. G., San Francisco. Nothing tan
gible can be found out about the Ken

The property is well located and we
cannot understand why it is so neg
lected.
A. N. B., Goldfeld, New. No work is
being done on the East Comstock Won
der. This company was promoted by
G. s. Clack. Clack went broke and left
the country. Attorney w. P. F. Fogg

but with little success.
D. D., Quincy, Ill. The suit between

dated, has not come to trial, as yet.
Both sides have their engineers and

G. w, Albany, N. Y. In recent issues
