BOOTH LEASERS ARE
near The ORE SHOOT

The Weber lease on The Booto mas
sent its crosscut on the 25o-foot Level
!, about 100 feet and is new nearing
the. downward extension of the ore
shoot that it was forced to abandon on
the 15O-feot level. On that level, some
three months ago, the leasers opened a
strong ore shoot at it's apex. The ore
was "spotty" on the level, n q
winze was sunk into the shoot, showing
that it increased in size and value with
depth. A flow of water and the I'M
possibility of working the shoot through
the winze caused that level to be aban'
doned. and the shaft was put down ioe
feet deeper. The ore on the l5O-foo'
level was rather bunchy, but there was
a good tonnage of $50 to $50 ore found
at that. The face of the latter on tne
25O-foot level is now showing stringers
Of quartz, some of them ~containini
punches of grey copper, and the ieaser
expect to open the vein within ten days
! Two shifts are continuously employed
| in the crosscut.

Commonwealth IS IN
line FOR A "STRIKE"

Work is being steadily done on the
Commonwealth ground, and it is be-
lieved that the operators are near the
goal for which they have been driving
for the past two months. Operations
are being carried on in the company
shaft at a depth of $50 feet. From
the station on this level a crosscut has
been sent out to the south for las feet,
to get under the strong ore shoot that
was extensively developed from the
company tunnel, above the shaft. At
this point a big ledge of partly sui
phide and partially oxidized ore was
opened, the ledge being held in a rhyo-
little quartz dyke, or along the dyke.
Extensive prospecting work showed
that the vein system was strong, big,
and well defined, and after its dip and
trend had been well ascertained, work
of tapping it from below was started.
The lateral from the shaft will get the
ledge 300 feet below the original point
of discovery. Development showed that
the sulphide values increased with
depth. and it is believed that at last
the vein system of the Commonwealth
property has been solved. In two
weeks time the operators should have
tapped the ledge. Should pay ore be
encountered there it will be the most
notable mining development in the dis
trict during the past year, as it will
enormously extend the known mineral
lied zone, and cause the price OF the
stocks representing ground between the
Florence and the Commonwealth, such
as the Simmerone, Atlanta, Blue Bull,
C. O. D. and some of the Merger
ground. to take a material jump. At
the same time it would cause a rush
for leases in that end of the camp, long
regarded as full of possibilities. The
mining men have long been waiting,
however, for some other man to spend
his money in trying out the ground, and
showing them the way.

RAWTfIDE DISTRICT ENTERING
NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY

ly employed by the Coalition company,
and he is not only making a thorough
study of all the ore occurrences and
rock formations, but is preparing a
complete set of maps showing the pres
emit vein systems with all assay values
plated on them and all other data that
can be of any possible help in the fu-
ture development of the property.
Engineer Chas. s. Herzig Of New York
City has recently been employed as
consulting engineer of the company
and he has spent the past ten days in
the camp with his associate, Mr.. B. K.
Morse, who is also a very able engi-
neer and they have been making a
thorough study of the ore deposits of
the district and also a thorough
sampling of the same. Mr.. Herzig has
had a very wide experience in most Of
the great mining camps of the world
and it was not until after he had made
a thorough personal examination of the
district that he would accept the posi-
ton of consulting engineer of the
Coalition, as he would not allow mis-
name to be used in connection with
any company, unless he felt sure that
the property had real merit and could
be made a dividend payer with a rea-
sonablc amount of work.

rL,oRENCE-GOLDFIELD POND
Is CAUSE OF LAW SUIT

Suit was instituted in the district
court yesterday by Daisy Adams
against the Florence Gold6eld Mining
company. The plaintiff alleges that for
the past six years she has occupied the
premises known as lots 4 and S, block
F. of the survey or Midtown, as
boarding house. bunk house and saloon
but that on February /, 1910, the de-
PENDANT company entered upon said
property and unlawfully ousted and
elected the plaintiff and has run upon
the ground the shines from the mil
thereby destroying its value.
The plaintiff claims damages IN the
snm of $4,000 and asks the further sum
Of 5000 as a reasonable rental for the
time during which she has been de-
prived of the use of the premises.

Since the Rawhide Queen company
purchased the Victor mill they have
been conducting extensive experiments
as to the best method of handling the
various ores Of the camp to get the
best results and as soon as these are
completed, a cyanide department will
be added to the mill and additional
stamps as fast as needed to keep up
with the ore production of the prop
erty. As soon as the geological work
is a little further advanced the original
company will start development on
company account on an extensive scale.
Arrangements are now practically made
with two of the leasers who have
shafts down to considerable depths and
close to known extensive ore bodies for
the Coalition company to put on larger
equipment and push these shafts down
to 1000 feet or deeper if show
ings warrant. Ore shoots that may be
encountered in this sinking will be
thoroughly developed as rapidly as pos
sible and with the present ore show
ings on the properties there is no oues-
tion but hat the liberal expenditure
of money in development work and
milling facilities will soon place the
properties on a dividend paying basis.

but comparatively short time for OPP
erations, a grave question WIS present
ed. However, the more than $50 feet
of development work along the trend
of the vein at 800 feet depth, and in a
sub-level some 40 feet above this, de-
| veloped an enormous tonnage of fine
milling ore for the parent company,
even in case the leasers do not find big
bodies of high grade with which this
milling ore can be- mixed and shipped
to mill. In case the leasers do find an
other big and rich ore body below the
| 800-foot level, as now seems likely, this
milling ore will give them a rich treas
ury upon which to draw, and by means
of which their shipping grade can be
kept at a uniform value, affording them
at the same time the most equable
royalty charges, shipping and treat
ment charges, and the greatest amount
of profit.
Charles S. Herzig, the noted New
York mining engineer, is now making
an exhaustive examination of the An
| mex lease workings, as well as the bal
ance of the Jumbo Extension estate,
and while he is not as yet ready to
give out any definite statement, he does
not deny that he is increasingly pleased
with the property as his examination
progresses. 1t is upon the result of his
examinations and in line with his
recommendations that future develop
ment of the property will be started,
and there is no doubt that the Exten-
sion will be one of the biggest mines
of the Goldfeld district. Goldfeld
brokers, who had previously paid little
attention to Jumbo Extension, and who
have of late been studying the prop
erty. are sitting up and taking notice.
In an interview with a prominent
mining man and broker who is supposed
to be well posted on Jumbo Extension
it was found that he believed the re
cent strong rise in the stock was due
to the developments in the Goldfeld
Annex lease, on the Polverde claim OF
the Jumbo Elk. He said:
az don't just see what grounds
there are there for the strong rise
either. They are sinking for one OF
the Clermont veins, / know, but they
have not got it yet"
When it was shown to him that due
to the enormous body of ore actually
exposed in the vinegarone claim of the
Jumbo Elk, the milling ore exposed in
the workings of the Goldield Annex
lease, and the enormously rich ore that
is being taken from the Clermont work
ings of the Consolidated, right along
the western side lines of the Polverde
claim, practically, and down to i,ooo
feet in depth, the Jumbo Extension is
already a great mine, a great hgnt
burst upon him. Then his attention was
called to other undeveloped ground of
the company, laying Immediately con-
~tiguous to ground that has developed
commercial ore. He thought it over,
and then exclaimed: why, that stock
ia ;ntrinsieally worth nearly a dollar
per share right now"
