OUTSIDE GOLDFIELD
MINES ARE ACTIVE
List of Real Producers and Divi-
dend Payers Will Soon Be
Enlarged

GOLDFIELD, June 25.-The Combi-
nation Fraction is again starting to
mill it's ores, and will be in the list
of real producers and probably in the
list OF divided payers very shortly;
the Florence is keeping up its steady
grind and official assurance is that
company will have a good place in the
dividend list duringthe year.
On the Atlanta estate seven leases
are steadily working at varying
depths, and there is reason to believe
that some of these operations will be
successful and will make a producer
of the Atlanta. On the Merger ground
the Ford lease is now q small but
steady producer with the ore showing
up finer and stronger with the increase
of depth; another leaser is to start
work with the 1500-foot point as the
objective as to depth, and probably
the Merger company itself will put
shaft down to 1000 or more feet. The
Pennington lease on the Merger
ground is working at 400 feet depth
and will go deeper after development
on ground Immediately adjoining shall
have given a few more pointers
Two leases on the Booth have de-
veloped ore, but must now sink their
shafts deeper before they can either
extract ore or extensively develop
their vein systems. A leasing COM
pany is just starting work on the ORC;
company operations are well under
way on the Yellow Tiger, and are to
be resumed at once on the c. o. d.
Leasers are making good showings
and some production on the Blue Bull,
Commonwealth, Kendall, Sandstorm
and c. o. D.
SINKS TO DEPTH
The Goldfeld Annex lease on the
Jumbo Extension ground, after open
ing and shipping some rich ore at 500
feet depth. is now sinking for its orig
inal objective point, 1000 to 1100-foot
depth. The Sandstone Kendall mer-
ger is being worked out and inten-
sive development of this ground of
great opportunity will probably soon
be started.
Three miles to the south the Pitts
burg Nevada and Frances groups, en-
bracing more than 200 acres, will soon
be placed under development, and the
big lodges of low-grade ore that t>were
exposed there by pioneer operations
worked, and possibly mill will event
ually be constructed on this ground
giving material impetus to the de-
velopment of the lodes in the min
eralized hills surrounding.
Nearly three miles to the west of
the Goldfield proven zone" the Ne
vada Eagles is taking out shipping
ore, and the Nevada Victor is sinking
a working shaft so that it may get
into some of the silver-gold ore that
the Eagles has proved is in the lodes.
At about the same distance TO the
northeast, in the Diamondfield dis
trict, the Eureka is still doing de-
velopment work in a most promising
formation, and at the same time there
is promise that the Daisy, Belmont,
Diamondfield and Great Bend proper
ties will, with a return of interest in
the Goldfield district, in the near fu-
ture be able to start intelligent work
on their ground, all of which in early
days gave up rich ore to the operators
who worked without their present
knowledge of the formation and ore
pointers that is enjoyed by the ope-
rators of today.
More work is being done over the
golden hills of the Goldheld district
today than has been in progress at
any time during the past two years,
and some Of this work is sure to get
results.
