was encountered in the Florence Annex
lease, which adjoins the Little Florence
on the northeast, but which is working on
parallel vein. In this lease the first
forty tons taken from two and one-half
feet brought returns of s93S ton; the sec
ond lot OF sixty tons sampled 1857
ton.
The rich shoots on the south side of
this hill bitch abruptly downward, fol-
lowing approximately the contour of the
low mountain. On the 500-foot level of the
Rogers-Syndicate. this high-grade should
be encountered and the management of
that lease is working toward it with fe-
verish haste. The distance from their
face to the present workings is probably
100 feet, but any shot may bring the drift
into the rich quartz.
Fifteen feet above the 400-fOOt level this
lease has a splendid seam of the yellow
stuff. eight inches in extent lying in the
center of a five-foot stope that breaks
$3.50 a ton. according to the settlements re-
ceived from the last lot. Today returns
were received from 5000 pounds taken
from this seam, which carried 50 ounces
of gold to the ton. the lot returning SS.010
The official returns from shipments
from the Florence Annex lease up to
March 2S were Sl92, 506.92; from the Rogers
Syndicate $232649; from the Little Flor
ence. H.245, $685.; a total of s1.6I1. 6S5 Is.
Dividends I'D to date-amount to $595.o00.
and will probably reach three-quarters of
a million before the expiration of the
leases.
Ralph Waterman's Luck.
On the Mohawk Red Top lease of Nc
MILAN and Holleran, on the Laguna,
cages have replaced the buckets, prepar-
atory to an era of production. Three sep
arate shoots of shipping ore have been
cut IN the ClermOnt vein, which appear
to be making directly into Ralph Water
mans lease on the Red Top Extension,
but a few feet distant The two leases
are being operated by Mcmillan and Hoi-
leran, and the ore will be followed across
the line
Waterman seems to have found his mas
cot. Today loading began at his lease
on the Sandstone and twenty-five tons
of high-grade ore will be shipped to the
sampler of the Western Ore Purchasing
company, owned by Salt Lake men. Some
of this ore is worth $1,000 a ton but
about ten tons of a much lower grade has
been mixed with it in order to bring down
the excessive treatment charges eXacted
on the high grade
Operations in the Goldfied district are
gradually reSuming their normal scope.
Almost a hundred leases are now working,
nearly all of them employing three shifts,
but there is yet a small army OF MEM
plOyed miners. Large numbers of West
ern Federation miners are seeking work
at the mine operators scale. and there is
talk to the effect that. with the install
Iation of new officers. the union will for
mally call off the strike. The Utah min
ers have won a home here. and will retain
their jobs regardless of the action of the
local union. Utah men are gradually get
ting in the ascendancy all over this sec
ton of the state, and never fail TO make
good.
The ROgers-Syndicat lease. which is
pushing for the same ore shoot less than
100 feet away. got into a rich shoot last
night on the 5e0-fOOt level. From the fact
that the vein has a decided rake to the
south it is believed that ii is the same
ore shoot Samples from the ore broken
last night gave returns of S50S ton. The
lease is shipping forty-five tons of 500
ore daily.
The Little Florence company has Sc
cured a lease on the south half of the
Combination Fraction and today let a
contract to crOss-cut the claim from the
Combination mine on the west to the
Jumbo on the east. from the bottom OF
a 50O-foot shaft. The old company SHAFT,
which Is one the leased block, will be con-
verted into q working shaft of three COM
partments and sunk to a depth of LOU
feet James z. Keelyn of the Little Flor
ence believes that the rich ore shoots of
the Mohawk and Florence. which lie on
the north and south of the Fraction, will
be found equally as good in that ground.
The Little Florence will post its fifth div
idend soon, probably 100000 making a
half a million which 1t has paid the stock
holders. The stock was put out at IL
cents 4 share
RaIph Waterman has shipped a carload
of ore from his lease on the Sandstone.
II will be sampled here and shipped 70
