GoTWALDT COMBINATION IN
EXCELLENT GRADE OF ORE

After spending $4,000 in steady en-
deavor for the past year to find ore,
working through labor troubles and
financial stringency, the Gotwaldt Com
bnation NJ & l.. Co., which is operating
on block / of the Combination group of
the Consolidated, seems to have come
into its own. A ledge was cut this
week on the 315 south drift 65 feet from
the shaft which assays $23.20 across
several feet, and as yet only one wall is
in sight. Work is also proceeding north
of the shaft, both in the 255 and 3l5
levels, and the stringers and ledge mat
ter which have been cut and are being
prospected in both places Indicate that
the Combination s system of veins and
possibly the west fork of the famous
Reilly ledge, have been encountered in
the Gotwaldt ground. If this is the
case, as now appears likely, the Got
waldt, with almost a year which to
hoist its ore. will prove one OF the ban
ner leases of the district.

CONSOLIDATED JUMBO is
DOING EXCELLENT WORK

The Consolidated Jumbo shaft is
down 275 feet. A crosscut was started
at 250 and is now in about 1870 feet.
One hundred feet from the shaft the
crosscut penetrated fifty feet of solid
quartz and iron. No drifting on this

ENGINEERS LEASE HAS
HANDSOME JEWELRY BOX

An ore body seven feet in width has
been broken into in the Engineers
lease on the Florence. The company
has been hosting ore steadily to the
capacity of the plant for the past three
or four months and there is every evil
dence that the food of golden ore will
continue until the expiration of the
leasehold.
To date the company has distributed
$36O,0O0 in dividends and there is a
strong probability that as much more
velvet money will be sent to the share
holders before the lease expires.

UMBO PROPERTY WILL
RESUME ON LARGE SCALE

On the North Star an electric hoist
will be installed and the shaft will be
sunk to a depth of 250 feet before
crosscutting is started. A large amount
of high grade ore has been shlpped
from the North Star above the o0-foot
level, and there is no reason why larger
deposits should not be found at greater
depth.
The new mill of the Selby company
is giving perfect satisfaction. IL is no"
running on low grade ore, but IN a rev
days high grade will be dumped INTO
the mortars, and the first cleanup VIII
be a bumper one. On all sides there is
evidence of great revival, and 1t Is
freely predicted that in few months
limbo will be the banner new camp Oh

MUSHETT LEASE Is IN
BIG HIGH GRADE SHOOT

The performance of the Mushett
lease on the Miss Jessie claim of the
Laguna of the Consolidated from its
300-foot level promises to be eclipsed
by the production from the 4S0-foot
level, which is now in picture ore.
The ore shoot has been followed for
thirty feet and the entire breast is now
in shipping ore. Three feet of the ore
assays in the neighborhood of $75 and
some of it goes away up. A crosscut is
to be started on the 400-foot level to
pick up the ore body and within day
or two stoping will begin. The
Mushett lease has already produced
about $4,000.

That something of Importance is in
the wind concerning the Elks Consol'
idated lease upon the Yellow Tiger
property at Goldfeld, is attested to by
virtue of the fact that Maurice Starnc,
the manager of the mine, has been IN
the city for some time, says the Denvei
Mining Record.
The property closed down short
time since, but no explanation as to the
cause was made public, and although
there has been much speculation as TO
the reason or motive, no plausible con
clusion could be arrived at, save that
negotiations for control of the stock
were under way.
The control of the stock has lain
principally with II. A. Riedel of TINS
city and John +. Campion, the million
aire mine owner of this state. 1T IS un-
derstood that Mr.. Campion, who has
already expended in excess of S7o,ooo
on the property, and confident OF it's ul.
innate success as producer, will, with
his associates, continue to carry on ex-
ploitation of the property. CONJECTURE
was also rife as to whether or not ore
has been encountered ON the 600-foot
level of the mine, and, judging from the
manner in which the stock held up dur
ing the slump, and through the recent
close-down of the mine, it would appear
that rumors of the find were not un
founded, and that the millionaire min'

Rawhide, New, Oct 1.-Rawhide will
produce 81 100000 worth of gold bullion
during this, it's first year of existence.
Your representative arrives at the fore
going estimate after thorough can
vass of the ore yielding probabilities of
the camp and careful inspection OF
past and present shipment returns. AS
a matter of fact, it is decidedly prob
able that the total value of Rawhide 8
ore output during the present year VIII
exceed 81 900, 900, but in the interest OF
conservatism and the local mining IN
dustry it is better to underestimate
rather than to overestimate its worth.
During the month of September the
camp outputted $150,000 worth of ore
and during the closing quarter of 1905,
will at least send out ore to the value OF
$3.50 900. or $15OOOO worth per month
At that rate the camp will produce at
least 100000 worth of shipping ore
during the four-month period beginning
September ISL, anu ehoihs
31st. next. 1t is well within the bounds
of reason to estimate the value OF the
output for the first eight months of the
wear at 100000, thereby assuring
total valuation of $1.000,000 on the
shipping grade ore output for 1908.

within the coming ten days at the rate
of $4,000 per day.
The ore shoot which was first opened
up in drift on the l73-foot level has
been proven to be more than eighty
feet in length, and averages from four
to ten feet in width. A raise on the ore
has been extended seventy feet above
the drift level, and shows at the top
fully FIVE feet of high grade shipping
ore. The ore shoot will be opened up
on the 78-foot level within day or two,
and the assays from the 300 level indi-
cate that shipments will also commence
from that point almost any day.
The Florence Consolidated lease has
something more than four months yet
to run, anG the company has an equip
merit that will make it possible to main
tain tremendous production. There
seems no doubt that there is plenty OF
ore in sight to maintain production OF
100 tons per day until the expiration of
the lease.
The credit for the success of this
proposition is due to G. s. Johnson and
j. B. Cottle. of the Goldfeld Brokerage
company, who maintained largely at
their own expense force of from nine
to fifteen men at work on the lease for
nine months before the pay shoot was
located. There is no longer any doubt
that it is one of the bonanza leases OF
the Goldfield district.
