ROGERS SYNDICATE LEASE
CLEANS UP BIG FORTUNE

There will be no let-up in the produc-
ton of ore from the Rosers-Syndicate
until the last bucket is raised to the sur
face at midnight tonight. says Saturday
Goldfield Tribune. Then the life of one or
the most remarkable leases in the camp
will close. While high-grade was Delng
shipped from the Little Florence, Rogers
and his associates were working on an
adjoining block of ground. They worked
hard but the elusive ore shoot could not
be found with the ease they expected.
Money became scarce. and it was hard
to raise funds to carry on the work
Then a half interest was sold to the Syn
dictate investors. and the money derived
from this sale was about used up When
the ore shoot was discovered
The lessees were anxious TO see Wnat II
would run. and the first lot, containing
less than five tons. Melted them little
better than $500, which looked big to those
who had risked their all in the mine 1T
was easy sailing from that time, ana car
load lots that went $3.50 ton became
common. with high-grade shipments run
ming dollars a pound sandwiched in Inc
best ore was found in the intermediate
drift between the 800 and 490-foot levels
but about as good is in evidence in the
upraise from the drift extended from the
800 level to a depth of seventy feet.
During the labor troubles the property
was closed down. and various other rea-
sons caused delays in working the ground
IL is estimated that five months will
cover the time in which ore was shipped,
but in that brief period the gross value
of the product was in the neighDornooo
of seO0.0 from a total output OF about
5000 tons. The first dividend was PAID
last March. and up to date $245.Oc0 has
been distributed. When the final pay
ment is made after all returns are re-
ceived, the total will reach $4,000
This is a remarkable showing. as II
represents a higher percentage OF the net
earnings than has been distributed by any
company in the camp. and that in face of
the fact that the lessees were paving a
flat royalty of % per cent to the Florence
Goidfield Mining company
A good deal of the credit is due to the
efficient services of Superintendent j. f.
Meikle. who knows how to break ore. as
we'll as to find II. There have not been
any differences between the lessees and
the parent company on account OF failure
to comply with every condition OF the
lease and when work is suspended tonight
the Florence can put men breaking high
grade ore tomorrow. The mine has not
been Quilted In the final cleanup there
will be several tons of high-grade that is
stored in the vaults of the Cook bank 10
be sent out that will run at least 50 a
pound Some of it was brought in yester-
day, and more will follow today.

SACK|NG ORE At

Rich Gold and Bismuth Rock
Will Soon Be Shipped From
Deep Creek

The Lucy L. Mining company, operating
in the Clifton district. Deep Creek is now
sacking gold bismuth ore for shipment
which Manager Frank L. Wilson, who
has just returned from camp, is willing
TO wager will net $500 ton. Samples
on exhibition at the company's offices
yesterday are so rich in both metals that,
were the properties located in the boom
camp regions of Nevada instead of Utah,
the district would be alive with locators
and boomers in day. Chunks of the
ore are so heavy with oxide and native
bismuth that novice would likely reach
the conclusion that the ore was lead car
Donate and galena. though there is
nothing in common in the characteristics
of native bismuth and galena, other than
the weight with the difference in favor
of bismuth. This bismuth Is fairly stud
ded In places with native gold and the
contrast between the deep yellow metal
and the whitish lustre of the bismuth
makes the specimens strikingly rich look
ing and beautiful.

Manager Wilson yesterday, lis now down
to a point where 1 should say the face
would be between 800 and $50 feet be-
low the surface. We had ore all the way
and every foot's advance is bringing the
face into richer rock / believe that the
ore now being mined will run easily $500
a ton in gold and carry from to 10 per
cent bismuth. We are sacking every
ounce of the stuff now being broken as
sinking proceeds with the purpose of
shipping II We may yet decide to sort
it at the surface in order to keep the
richest bismuth rock by itself. If that
is done we will have two classes of the
ore and one will run into pretty big

is all full of iron. That iron also car
