on the records of of his office, the
state bullion tax collector, James F..
F, Haley, this week said that Esmeralda
county has produced a total of $751;
900 1000. At least, it will have pro-
duced that much by the end of the
present month. This is a gold record
second only to the famous Virginia
City properties in the early days.
Much of this grand total has been
produced during the past five years
in Goldfield, although some of the
early camps of the country such as
| Aurora, Hawthorne and Candelaria,

doing so since the first of the year.
The total since the first of last year
is SIS, 600, 600.
Fine reports are coming in from
Georges Canyon, north of Goldfield.
The entire field seems to be a big
milling proposition, and it is limited

and Leasing company, operating a
lease on the Red Top Extension. The
management has now finished the
foundation for a new equipment, u.s.

ton. is in evidence together with a
streak which. carries free gold in
abundance. The ore is in the roof of
a stope from the 387 level, reaching

Mr.. Lawrence lately began work on
what is recognized as a virgin block

work had been done, a shoot of ore
was found that runs easily SIG to
