''SO?" said 1, with a dim notion of
turning toxin an off hour and dashing
off a song hit for Vesta, so easy did
it seem.
With literally hundreds of songs
submitted to her." my vaudeville ex-
pert went on, "she has to depend on
this one. Look and listen"
Vesta came into sight with her
arms bare, her legs in fieshings and
the rest of her clad in feathers, TO
sing that she had been captured and
crowned by the king of the judah
islands, and was in terror lest the
winds blow away the feathers and
leave her nude.
Isn't it a pity" my friend said, Ito

But what's she to do? Next, you'll see
her best choice of the songs submitted
to her for this week"
In this ditty Vesta told about an
iceman, who was a very nice man, but
all she could get from him was ice

CON. MILL TO
START DEC. 26

The dinky little oilburning locomo-
tive of the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company is the busiest and most import
ant-feeling engine in the camp.
1t daily puffs up and down the three
mile track between the mines and the
big new mill on the western slope of old
Sandstorm, where it discharges its
cargo of precious ore.
The bins are now nearly filed, so
faithful and Industrious has been the
dnky little oil-burner, which could
have loafed on its job and stopped oc-
casionally to high grade, for the big
mill is holding it's ponderous stamps IN
suspension until Santa Claus has come
and gone, to begin crushing out new
year cheer for everybody in Goldfeld.
On incoming trains from the north,
the first impression gained by passen-
gers is the great asbestos-covered steel
structure on Sandstorm hill, twelve
stories high ol its inclined plane. 1t is
now fully enclosed with all machinery
in position, and il cost only few cents
less than a million dollars-dollars al

MOHAWK LEDGE AGAIN
IN LIST OF SHIPPERS

There is every indication that the
Mohawk Ledge lease on the Gold
Wedge claim of the Goldfeld Consol-
idated Mines company has the making
of a big bonanza.
Ore was struck several days ago IN
the 300-foot level and the first shipment
of sixty tons was made early this week.
The ore body is said to be enormous and
its walls have not yet been eneoin-
tered.
An effort is now being made to pick
up the shoot on the 450foot level.
This lease has until April 18th to run.
The Gold Wedge claim formerly be-
longed to the Jumbo Extension Mining
company, but was lost through settle
ment of Apex litigation.

the shareholders have eiamored for an
end to be put to the leasing system in
proven territory.
However, despite the waste of haste
that has been the inevitable accompani-
ment of the leasing system and the pay
mcnt of dividends to leasehold share
holders, the parent company has thrived
by the system.
Out of lease royalties the Florence
Goldfeid has paid all its operating ex-
pcnses, has erected model forty
stamp mill, has acquired and developed
water claims, laid a pipe line, distrib-
uted four dividends of $105,000 each
and has an ample supply of money in
the treasury.
Leases on Florence ground, including
the original lease on what is now the
company shaft, which was operated be-
fore the Goldfeld company was organ
lied, have produced upwards of $4,000
600 gross. Lease dividends have been
paid by the Little Florence, Reilly, Mo
hawk Florence, Rogers Syndicate, En-
gineers and Florence Annex No. i. The
total amount thus distributed amounted
to more than a million dollars.

A new era is at hand for the Florence
Goldfeld Mining company, owner of
one of the richest proven acreages in
the west.
Now is the period of transition from
leasing to work on company account
No more leases will be granted and
none of those at present in force will
be extended.
This ultimatum has been delivered by
A. d. Parker, who speaks also for his
partner, T. G. Lockhart, and the bal
ance of the company.
Mr.. Parker and his associates did not
arrive at any sudden conclusion in the
matter, but for the past six months had
been working out a plan of which this
was part.
The leases now in force on the Flor
ence are the Aurelia, Nevada, Consol-
idated, Baby, Florence Jumbo, Annex
No. 3, Railroad, Wheeler, Butte Boys
Consolidated, California, Hall Florence
and Nevada Florence. The others have
expired by limitation of time or sub
jected themselves to forfeiture by non
performance of contract. All the re-
naming leases are of short life, several
expiring February 9th, while all will
have terminated by the last of March.

sunk to a depth of 400 feet, with a

is being thoroughly explored. Stringers
