GOLDF1ELD. June 24.-Within les
than month and half, the Goidhell
Consolidated has sent out to the mlnt'
in gold bullion s777,4o0, represented II
bricks handled through John 5. Cool
&; Co. The total is the shipments FOL
exactly forty-four days. This means
strict average for the time of more
than S17 $500 day. The Comhlnatior
Fraction during the last ten days
shipped two bars OF $4,000 each. Th;
Consolidated is now running go tons
day through its new mill, instead OF
600 tons. and the old Combination m,l
is treating 100 tons n day instead OF
90. Tt is admitted that it is but a
question of time before the Consoll
dated will have to add another Unit to
the big plant This may be before the
end of the present year. rs the two
mills are working to full capacity.
The recent purchase by English an;.
French capitalists of big blocks of the
stock is a good indication. The ar"
rangement is for the purchase of 35O.-
600 shares. During the past few. duys
80. 900 shares went to Il London syn"
dicate, the reported price being IS a
share.
An important feature in the suit
of Gamble against Hanchctt involving
certain profits of the Pitts5Erg Sill
yer Peak mine at Blair. was settled n
couple OF days ago. when it was agreed,
at the suggestion of Judge Pike, that
man shall be stationed at the mill
Of the company as a representative OF
the court, and divide the bullion as
il comes from the plant, eleven ff-
teenths TO go TO Gamble and -four 6t
teenths TO the defendants. This al

operations and avoids the necessity OF
a bond being produced. According TO
Edmund Jusson, general manager of
the property, the total production Of
ore from the mine during the seven
teen months ending April 80 was $159,-
900. The average recovered value was
$40 per ton. The average cost Of
mining the ore was S3.05 and the mill
ing charge between 81 and $3.50 per
ion. The capacity Of the 100-stamp
mill is l2.600 tons per month.
Ed Heller. one Of the owners of the
big lease at Lucky Boy, was in the city
yesterday enroute TO the coast. He
verified the receut strike in the Nc
Cormack lease. saving there are several
feet Of black metal that ought TO ar,
erage close to 500 ton. This strike
was made at a depth of only 100 feet
or thereabouts. 1t is but 40 feet from
the claim OF BrodlgaD and ingalls,. and
the latter's lease is said to be cer-
tain 10 get the same ore body The
Spencer lease has dropped into the ore
and the management is installing
hoist for a record production. The
original big lease has only until the
last of the month to run, and three
shifts will be kept busy taking out
the ore already in sight Had the man,
lgement worked two hoists. it is
claimed it could easily have taken out
close to a million dollars. At the
Lucky Boy camp there are five hoists
working, three more being installed and
several ordered from California.
So far as Ellendale or Salisbury
Wash. is concerned. the disposition of
he more conservative mining men of
giold6eld is 70 await development be.
Tore rushing in with money. The orig.
nal owners are doing nothing and have
scarcely stuck a pick in the ground.
The surface float is immense in values.
and yet capital will be shy on the
proposition until more or less dcvelop-
nent work shall show what the forma
ION is and how the values extend
There are many leases granted, but lit
tie work being done. The float is Ger
taln!ly very rich and picked pieces 60
