The net profits of the Belmont mine for Octo-
Der were 100000. This compares with about
1885, 600 for September. and the decrease In the
profits may partly account for the recent de-
cline in the price of the stock. The Belmont
management. however, explains the decreased
profits by the fact that during October a large
quantity of low grade had to be cleaned up
and the working of this caused lower values
for the output.
The preliminary report of T. r. Finlay, gen
eral manager of the Goldfeld Consolidated mines
company, for October shows that the production
of ore for that month amounted to %. 764 dry
tons of the total gross assay value of 81 069 04S

tion of 81 - per cent The total costs and losses
