SALT LAKE. Jan. 4.--Georee
Wingfeld. vice president OF the uoiu'
field Consolidated Mines COMPANY
and the representative of that ofsa-
nization at the properties in Gold
field. hence the man who bears 'he
brunt of the present labor difficulties
there for the company and camp Is
here. When seen this afternoon anu :
asked for the latest news from Gold
field, Mr.. Wingfeld said:
Everything in Goldfield is quiet.
We have no labor war such as the
term might imply. The Goldheid
Consolidated company and otner or
ganizations of the district are sim
ply unwilling TO employ men such as
a great many Goldfield miners are at
present. There are many miners
breaking away from the union ana
coming back to work. We are glad
10 get many of them, and my conf
pany is now employing $50 men in
the Combination mine and mill We
expect within a few days to have
force of men at work in the Mohawk
mine. and we necessarily will have TO
start up here and there slowly but
surely. The injunction suit was filed
with the determination of pushing
the same through to the end, and
that determination still attaches to
the action. We have started in to
win, and we will win.
AS for the Goldfield Consolidated
properties. fear | can give you moth
ing new about them that you do not
already know from the annual report
recently sent to the stockholders.
Since then we have been unable to
accomplish much in the way of de-
velopment work. In the past three
months We have paid out something
like $1,000 in the shape of divi-
dends, but from a dividend paying
standpoint the company has not yet
had a chance to show what ii can
do Up to the present trouble, We
had SO days of total inactivity in the
mines owing TO strikes, SO it has been
an uphill matter all year.
Within the coming two weeks We
will begin grading for the new mill
for our company When this grading
is done we will begin on the second
unit. The first unit will have a daily
capacity OF 700 tons of ore, and we
expect to have this completed before
eight months pass by. AS soon as
this unit is completed, we will begin
on the second of like capacity. The
company also is building a broad
gauged electric line from the mine
to the new mill, distance of two
and a half miles. We also are build
ing a spur to the mill from the Tono-
pah and Tidewater railroad line. n
still shorter distance. The mill will
be rushed to completion without an
hours delay
1T is our intention to send the
Mohawk shaft on down to the tbou-
sand level, and to crosscut as usual
at succeeding levels as gained The
shaft is now down to the ela foa,
level. The erosscut on the 45o foot
level of the Mohawk has been snlens
did surprise to everyone. A winza
has bee.i driven from this level and
1t is now 50 feet in depth, and we
have at that point the richest and
best ore chute ever found in this
property.
When asked regarding the rumors
that have been coming from the east
to the effect that Senator Nixon and
himself haved isposed of the consr', anu
of the Goldfield Consolidated nan' u
pany to eastern parties. Mr. W,naen,, soni,
stated that there was not n n msne'a
