welcomed by us as removing much
uncertainty heretofore surrounding
the question of mine taxation, and
eliminating elements of dispute
which in such matters lead frequent
ly to disturbance and possible ex-
pense. One effect of this action is
to eliminate our milling and trans
portation company as a profit max
ing corporation and its future func-
ton, if its corporate existence he
maintained. will be merely to con-
tinue its service for the mines COM
pany at actual operating cost.
Since the asset of the company
known as stocks owned consisting
largely of its ownership of the
capitalization of the milling and
transportation company. heretofore
yielding the mines company large
revenue, has thus become a dead as
set we have deprecated it heavily
and will hone by another year to de-
preciate it entirely. To this item of
depreciation is added the customary
appreciation of plant and equipment.

formed within the year to the extent
of 1886 feet at cost per foot of

angles to the vein. which strikes
north and south and dips to the east
at an angle of As degrees.

ter on the hanging wall side aver
ages by car samples from SO to $40

value of $50 ton. The next five feet
of the vein is heavy sulphide ore
which averages $27.00 ton, the val
ues being distributed approximately
as follows: Gold, Sc; silver, $3.50;
copper, 9 per cent. Inc sorted ore
assays $50 a ton. The cross-cut is
being continued, as no footwall has

Since making the above quoted
announcement, Manager Simpson
has given no further reports
upon the property. However, 1T is
understood and generally rumored
that the continued exploration of the
find has been attended by results
thoroughly in keeping with his Off

1t is expected that Manager Simpson

at Evanston, Wyo. 1t resulted in the
reelection for the ensuing year of
the old board of directors. The an

submitted at the session, showed the
company to be in excellent condition.
The report of President George

gross value of $50, 475,2O1.02. OF
this production, $11,2OO,OOO was

According to Manager Steiner. op-
erations on the Manhattan COnsOli-

making excellent headway and good
results are being obtained. The main
west cross-cut on the 20O-foot level
recently revealed and entirely new
vein, measuring seven and half
feet in width. Three feet of the vein
constitutes a very good grade of ore
while the remainder carries low val
ues. No drifting has thus far been
done on the vein, It's exploration be-
ing deferred until the completion OF
the main west crOss-cut, being run

velop at depth the known orebodies.

With a characteristic, brief an
nouncement, General Manager K. M.
Simpson of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany on Monday confirmed the per-
sistent rumor afioat for more than a
week of an important strike on the
175O-foot level of the property OF
that company in the long cross-cut
driven from the main or ST. Ives
shaft of the Goldfielu Merger Mines
company. The plain matter-of-fact
confirmation of the reported dis
covery had the effect of instantly
placing the Goldfield district in the
limelight more forcibly than any
event in the last five years, with the
result that this camp is again oc-
cupying a position in the mining
world similar to that which it en-
loved in its early or boom days.
The announcement by Manager
Simpson follows:
"A cross-cut on the 175O-foot
level has been run in a southwest
erly direction distance of 1913 feet
from the shaft of the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company into the Union
Jack claim of the Atlanta Mines
company 1t crosses the sideline of
the Union Jack claim at a point 44U
feet from the shaft. This cross-cut
up to the Atlanta line is entirely in
shale. From that point the cross
cut was run 1S0 feet into the Union
Lack claim encOuntering the con-
tact between the shale and latte,
where only low scattering values
were obtained. The cross-cut was
extended 16o feet beyond the con-
tact and revealed various mineral
lied streaks of quartz carrying cop
per, gold and silver. At that point
it struck the vein on the hanging

NINE At AURORA
GOLDFIEIID CONS. TAKES OPTION
ON AURORA CONS.
STOCK

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company. through President George
Wingfield, concluded negotiations
Wednesday at Reno for an option
upon 80 per cent or more of the
stock of the Aurora Consolidated
Mining company, operating at Auro-
ra, Mineral county, from the Jesse
knight interests of Utah.
The property is being sampled un-
der the direction OF the management
of the Goldfield Consolidated, and If
the stock is purchased, will be Oper
ated in the future by the Goldfield
Consolidated. Negotiations for the
option have been pending for about
a month and the papers were signed
yesterday. The Aurora Consolidated
mine is a lOw-grade proposition with
large tonnage of ore blocked out
for stopping. A mill is being erected
on the property and it will probably
be ready for operation early in June
of this year.

The shaft was sunk to total
depth of 1877 feet prior to the cut
ting of the station and sinking is
now underway from that point. Just
when it became necessary to cut the
station, the shaft at the depth named

across the entire bottom. The rounds
of shots set off yesterday we're fol-

Velvet DEAL TO
Be CLOSED SOON
PRESIDENT WHlTTEMORE Oh
MERGER ARRIVES FOR THAT
PURPOSE

It is probable that the negotiations
looking to the purchase by the Jum-
bo Extension Mining company from
the Goldfield Marger Mines company
of it's Velvet claim, adjoining the
Poleverde workings of the former,
will be successfully closed within the
next day or two. c. o. Whittemore
of Los Angeles, president of the
Merger Mines company, arrived in
Goldfield Friday for the purpose OF
going over with Vice President
Charles S. Sprague of the Jumbo
Extension the final details OF the
deal and signing up the necessary
legal documents.
In view of the important strike on
the 175O-foot level of the Atlanta
estate in the long crosscut driven
from the main shaft of the Merger
Mines company, it is expected that
during his present sojourn President
Whittemore will make an announce
ment as to the future plans of his
company. 1t is known that the price
to be paid for the Velvet claim by
the Jumbo Extension company VIII
be of sufficient size to defray the
cost of further development of the
Merger Mines property on an ex-
tensive scale for more than year,

the money derived from the deal for
