Preparations are being made to con-
tinue the sinking of the main shaft on
down to the 400 and 500-foot levels on
the property of the Diamondfield Red
Mountain Mining company in the Red
Mountain section of the district. Dur
ing the past sixty days the ledge has
been opened up ON the 300-foot level
for considerable distance both north
and south, and thorough sampling of
tbe ledge shows that the entire body of
ore exposed will run on an average Of
$40 per ton. This is approaching ship
ping ore and as the ore is of free
milling character, it makes a splendid
milling proposition. The company will
now sink to the 500-foot point and drift

on the 400 and 500-foot levels, opening
up the ledge and blocking out the ore
as on the 300-foot level.
As with depth the formation has i'm
proved and the values increased, it is
expected that shipping ore in quantities
will be found on the lower levels. A.
w. Coote, secretary of the company,
who has been east on company business,
will return on the 11th. He has been
studying carefully the question of the
proper milling plant for the company,
and arranging the financial end of the
proposition and il the lower levels show
up as expected, mill will be installed
at once for the treatment of the COM
pany's ores.

SEAMS AND BUNCHES
OF HIGH GRADE ORE

The next shipper to come in will
probably be the Florence. Super
intendent Mckay, the man who had
charge of the Frances Mohawk when it
was producing millions, is driving work
with all possible speed, although he has
room in his workings for only twenty
men at present.
Air pipes have been laid and within
a day or two Ingersoll.Rand drills will
be breaking ground.
At depth of 200 feet a crosscut cut
a vein containing seams Of high grade.
This vein is being followed in both di-
rections and winze is being sunk. Oc-
casional punches of splendid ore are
being encountered.

LIVERPOOL G0LDFIELD
GOING TO THE DEPTHS

An extension to August 1st, 1909, has
been granted the Liverpool Goldfield
company by the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines company. The leaseholl is on
block No. 9 of the Golconda claim.
At present the shaft is 400 feet deep
and is being sent down as rapidly as
possible. No lateral work has been
done and none will be attempted until
values are encountered. 1t is the
opinion of engineers that the ore lies at
depth in this property.

122 acres. Assays as good as $12 have

DESERT PALM ON
THE MAY QUEEN

The Desert Palm company is pushing
work on its lease ON the May Queen
ground, on Sandstorm ridge, and indica-
tions point to good results with little
more work. The shaft is 175 feet deep,
and from this point, crosscuts are run
in two directions, one crosscut being 65
feet and the other, 40 feet. The 65-foot
crosscut is only about 35 feet from the
Kendall ledge, which is the objective
point. The ground is hardening up and
shows strong naturalization.

company. The ledge holds its true
course, which is east and west, and
Manager Codd stated that he expects
to break into the high grade any day.
The formation seems to be identical
with that of the Mohawk on the lower
levels, and it is expected that the orc
bodies when encountered will be large
and permanent.

FRACTION IS
PRODUCING RICH TONNAGE

The Wingfeld purchase must have
had some effect on geological conditions
in the Combination Fraction, or, per-
haps, the Junior partner in the Nixon
Wingfeld company knew secret he
wouldn It tell when he took over the Al
Myers stock.
At all events the Combination Frac-
tion has proven up during the past
week in manner to cause Donnie Muir
to purchase new khaki suit and Tom
Murphy to reaffirm the announcement
of his approaching matrimonial deal.
The good stuff is coming from the
2S5-foot level and steady stream of
ore is passing from the stope to the
bins and thence to mill. The grade is
100 per cent better than recent ship
ments. Thirty men are employed tax
ing out the treasure, quantities of which
run as high as fourteen ounces.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Ten million dol

waukee Electric Railway company
has gone into something else besides
construction, according to the reports
OF certified accountants to the re-

The principal features OF the ac-

today. They show that $S,454.0O0,
Including the floating debt, has been
spent in the construction of the en-
tire road. Outstanding against this
is total bond and certificate issue
OF $4,000 600 and other debts
amounting to s2.16s,000, making a
total debt Of S1s.1es.000. The differ
