estimates given out by the manage
ment OF the Goldheld Consolidated Mines
company place the November production
oil the company at 1880 tons, with
gross recovery OF $685.. 900, and estimated
net profits of S4S0000. This amount is
slightly under the output for October, the
production in that month having been
considerably above the normal despite
the reduced tonnage consequent upon the
abandonment of the Combination mill,
owing To the high average grade OF ore
produced from the new workings of the
Clermont Development work is being
prosecuted upon lines far moro extensive
than heretofore in order to open up the
ore bodies III preparation for the IN
creased demands OF the mill, with its ad-
ditlonal equipment now being installed,
which Will raise the capacity OF the
plant 10 900 tons daily.
Development in the Clermont workings
has been productive OF most gratifying
results, particularly on the I5O-foot level,
where Slopes are being opened twenty
i've feet wide, III ore. averaging 5000 per
ton for that width. In addition 10 this
width there Is large tonnage of fair
milling ore on the hanging wall side,
and the main ore body is scanned with
streaks carrying free gold and telluride.
which brings the average up to the high
figure mentioned. One OF the raises
driven from I0lS level TO connect WIFI
the COO crosscut between the Mohawk
and Clcrmont was In high-grade ore that
averaged nearly $4,000 per ton FOR the
entire limits Of the raise, From the
FOR a width Of eight feet and for dis
tance of over seventy feet on a cross
fissurc running 10 the south.
The west crosscut at the $50 level has
been extended over 800 feet into Mohaw wk
ground, and from II raises will tap some
OF the richest deposits exposed in the
latter bonanza. as well as the ore bodies
opened in drifting from the winze below
the sill floors OF the gigantic slopes at
the southeast OF the Mohawk and cx-
tending into the Jumbo. The 600 level
mont is In the Red Top vein at tho
point where It turns to the west. and
drifts are being driven I'm both direc-
uons. The Red Top continues to make
150 and go levels. and the veins arc
being developed by the new $3.50 level
Large bodies OF excellent ore have been
rendered available by drifts driven un-
der the slopes and cavcd area OF the
old bonanza leases on the Mohawk. both
north and south OF the main workings
old connections between this ground and
the Combination are being cleaned ont
and other croSscuts arc being driven
from the Mohawk TO the west, across
the Com eination and toward the Janu-
ary vein. north of the Hampton stope.
Drifts on the Combination are developing
the junction of the main Combination and
January veins. where large body OF
good milling ore is exposed, and are con-
tinuing toward tho old Kalfus and Ish-
Sheets leases at the northern end OF the
Mohawk No, 2. Stopping is in progress
at two levels far 10 the south on the

from tunnel driven into the Jumbo hill

other early Jumbo leases
Florence Mill Running,
The Florence mill. which Is now sue
cesslnlly treating 100 tons OF ore daily
mas peen brought TO a degree OF per-
lection. making IT, according to the state
ment OF competent millmen one OF the
most efficient and economical reduction
plants In the state. and its power and
lighting equipment has been further aug
mented by the installation of three addI-
tional transformers. The new mill super
intendent has abandoned the use OF blan-
kets on the plates and has reverted 10
the direct amalgamating process The
orc OF the Florence is essentially an ANAL
gamatlng ore, and at present not less
than 10 per cent of the values arc be-
ing saved III the amalgam. with n con-
siderable portion that formerly went Into

ing In the Item Of transportation on con-
ccntratc
= large shipment OF bullion will be
made shortly. as the amalgam is now re-
torted at the mill and considerable
amount Of gold has been recovered from
cleaning up the launders troughs and
other woodwork OF the mill with which
the ore has come In contact in various
stages OF treatment. Development In the
mine continues 10 open up additional ore
reserves of magnitude at various levels
down TO the 500, where a new body of
high grade ore was recently exposed.
Drifts toward the old Reilly workings at
the $50 level have developed a large ton
mage OF good hill ore and other bodies
