Giroux Consolidated is going after the
ore in the limestone. A drill has been
at work on the Richard claim. just south
of the Bunker Hill. where they got the
ore in the porphyTy, and the drill mole
is now approaching the S00-foot level,

In the hole they got the ore at depth
OF 465 feet, and not little OF the snow
ing was native copper. 1t is the biggest
as well as the most interesting hole that
has ever been driven in the district. The
diameter is thirteen inches and the tlrst
casing was ten inches. Then in the hole
they passed through two distinct flows OF
rhyolite From the 465-foot depth they
had ore for twenty-five feet, then the
hole shot into the rhyOlite for between
twenty-five and thirty feet, when they
got the ore again, which lasted for TWEEN
fv-five feet, when the second flow OF
rhvolite was encountered. This lasted
for twenty-five or thirty feet, ana then
came the ore again, and this time 1t last
ed until the 600-fOOt mark was passed
Below the 800 they got into the lime

ron of the hole. What has been en-
countered since the management OF the

Rut there is one thing known, and that
is that everybody is highly satisfied with
the showing from top to bottom OF the
hole. They have demonstrated in the
neighborhood of 100 feet of high-grade ore,
and possibly more. It is the intention
TO go to LOCO feet, and then two more

GOLDF|ELD CON. TO
OUTPUT $5,OOO,OOO
Net Production of That Sum Is
Indicated by September
Figures.

GoIdfield, New. Nov. THE compiled
figures Of the production and earnings OF
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
parry for the month of September indi-
cate among ether things that there may
be expected from that property at least
an annual production of $5,0O0OOO, which
may be increased in proportion to the
increase in the capacity for handling the
large product basing the prediction
purely upon the figures representing the
company work for the single month Oh
September.
In considering the above it must be re-
membered that the gross production OF
he month, 21,531 tons, does not include
anything from the Combination property
than what has been maintained Tor sew
eTal months past. These figures Will also
be much increased with the installation
of the six Chilean mills that are expect
ed in position about Dec. Z. with the
Chileans, as has previously been stated;
the mill will be expected to handle ZSl
tons of ore per day more than is pelhs
treated at this time, which means OF
course the climbing up of the totals rep
resentiag production and profits
During the month of September the
compilation shows the gross production
of p .5S tons of ore, of the recovered
value of 1852 223. 80. and the cost OF op-
Grafton as $l61, 722. SO, leaving the net prof.
it S390,5O0. A..
1t is expected that the figures Tor the
month of October will show material
increase in every direction, while the fu-
ture is to record the climax in the pro
duction and treatment by the Consolluat'
ed company, under the increase OF orr
handled by the mill.

BIC LEAD FIND At
BATTLE MOUNTAIN
Greatest Surface Showing of
SiIver-Lead Ore DiSC0V-
cred in Nevada.

What is probably one of the biggest
surface showings of silver-lead deposits
ever found in this part Of Nevada was
discovered a few days ago by r. c. Ish-
erwood and Clyde Ganser about thirty
miles west of Battle Mountain and in the
vicinity of the Smoker ranch. saws the
Battle Mountain Herald The two men
were prospecting in the mountains on
the west side of the Buffalo valley when
they came across some rich specimens of
lead float. They traced this to the ledge
without great difficulty, as within a
short distance from where the float was
first found erosion had left the ore shoot
in plain view at the top of the ground,
with huge boulders of the metal weighing
as high as three or four hundred pounds
scattered over the surface.
The deposit is a contact vein between
lime and porphyry, the naturalization be-
ing due doubtless to the intrusive bikes
of porphyry which cut the lime forma-
ton with a nOrtheIly and sOutherly strike.
Occurring parallel with the pOrphyry is
also an enormous conglOmerate which
gives additional evidence OF strong erup-
tive action. The matriX Of the ore is a
heavy spar. forming three distinct and
well defined lodges which can be traced
by their strong euccrop Tor more than a
mile
The number and extent of the ore
shoots can not as yet be determined on
account OF the limited exploration. but
Judging from the number of places along
the course of the lodges where metallic
specimens of the ore are distributed, there
IS good reason for believing that the en-
riched portions of the ledge will prove
TO be extensive.
AS soon as the strike was known in Bat
tie Mountain. a number of men went out
from here and made locations. Just
south of the discovery and apparently on
the same series Of lodges. a Reno com
many. headed by Buck Ingall, Is develop
ing a group where it is said satisfactory
progress is being accomplished.
