Florence Goldfeld Shaft
The Florence Goldf1eld main shaft has
reached a depth OF 500 feet and a sta
tion is now being cut at this level from
which laterals will soon be started TO
explore the ore shoots OF the nelghbor-
hood, which have yielded large guam

The shaft will at once be continued TO
the l000-foot level with stations at fire.
