Sl0OO,OOe \ MONTH MARK
 OF GOLDF|ElD FOR 1908

The first of January, 1909, marks
 the beginning of heavy production of high grade ores in the Goldileln district. 2 productiol that will be cun tinu0us and not dependelt on rall- roads and smelters, or on the contii- tution from the various leases, says the Goldfield News. Conssrvatively estimated the output of the district during tbs coming year will approxi' mate S1 .o00 900 a month. The great bulk of this ore will come from the company workings of tle Gold1eld Consolidated Mines company and the Florence Goldfield Mining company and will be treated on the ground m
 the splendid reduction plants that
 have been building for them during practically an of 1908.
 These two plants alone. will have
 daily capacity of. Gs0 tons. of ZO.40o
 tons 9 month. The ore will be graded
 to about ss0 q ton. making the totl;i
 yalhe of the bullion praiuced at these
 two plarts SSiG.006 q month This output may be largely increased be-
 fore the year is well advanced. as this
 estimate is based on the Florence mEl operating but twenty of it's forty
 stamps. The other twenty stamps
 will he put in commission as soon as
 necessary, which in view of the enor-
 mouse tonnage of ore already blocked
 out in the mine, should be in a Few
 months. For that matter there Is
 plenty of ore in sight in both the Con
 olidafed and Florence to keep the mill grinding out bullion for an finder
 mite period.
 The Combination mill, with monthly capacity of $50 tons will not
 be idle as arrangements are now be- ing made whereby the plant will De
 operated. after it is no longer needed by the Consolidated company. There
 has been a great deal of talk of the mill being taken over and operated by the Combination Fraction Mining | conauany, but it is extremely doubtiui i il such arrangements can be made Nevertheless, 1t can be stated on the best of authority that the mill Will cCntlnne to run at It's full capacity. The big reduction in freight rates, and the probable reduction in smelter charges will encourage additional ship meats to out of town points so that | the estimate of a monthly output Of | S1 900 .e00 is extremely conservative. | It has been definitely announced | that the Consolidated company's great plant on the north slope of Columbia mountain would be running by the first of the year. Everything is in readiness and the machinery is being tuned up for the initial run. Vice President George Wingfield, General I Manager MacKinzie and a number of i eminent mining men will be on hand i to witness the starting of the mill and [ it is prObsble that the occasion will be properly celebrated although no plans [ for the christening have been an- nOuncod by the management.
 | The Florence mill will begin drop ping hs stamps on the first of Jan uary, unless the management changes I it's plans. The big plant is practical : Iy completed now and could start up On the first of the week were it not
 for the fact that the work of relayinG
 q portion of the pipe is not quite com
 cleted. Another week will see this work finished, however, and then
 there will be nothing to necessitate
 further delay but the will of the man
