FLORENCE ANNUAL
MEETING MONDAY
AND OUTLINE FUTURE
WORK

In view of the recent improvement
in conditions III its property, more
than ordinary interest centers in the
annual meeting in Goldiield Monday
Of the Florence Goldheld Mining
company. 1t is more than probable
that President A, ID. Parker Of Den
yer, Col; Vice-President Thomas G..
Lockhart of Los Angeles and Direc-
tor j. X Turner OF GOldield will be
the only officials of the company in
attendance upon the meeting and that
following a thorough inspection they
will, with the assistance OF Superin-
tendent Harry Clapp, map out oper-
ations to be prosecuted in the future.
The mine has been making an eX-
cellent showing of late in both pro.
duction and the results Of exploratory
work. superintendent Clapp is au-
thority for the statement that ship
ments of ore during this month 10
the HaZen sampler OF the Western
Ore Purchasing company will total
1000 tons, which, III itself, speaks
well for the condition of the mine.
la The footwall section of the vein
in the old Sweeney stope above the
200-foot level, there is now being
broken an average of fourteen feet
of ore that yields returns ranging
from $13 to $40 a ton. On the main
vein on the 100-foot level near the
main working shaft, stopping opera
tions are in progress on from six
inches to two feet of ore that ranges
from $40 to $40 a ton in values.

GOlDFIELD ORC IS
CUTTING STATION
EXPLORATION OF NEWLY DIS
COVERED VEIN WILL BE
GIN SOON

Under the supervision OF Manager
Thomas f. Manning, excellent head
way is being made in the work OF
cutting at depth of 71o feet a sta
ton in the Goldfield ORC shaft, the
bottom of which at point l3o feet
below the surface revealed week
ago a solid body of quartz OF lively
appearance and carrying large guam
titles of pyrites. 1t will probably be
at least two more weeks before the
station is finished.
Upon the completion of the level
station, shaft operations will be re-
sumed TO depth of 740 feet where
pump station will be cut. Fifteen
feet further down or at depth OF
755 feet, a sump cross-cut will be
cut off the shaft. Then will follow
the exploration of the newly discov-
cred vein. Manager Manning has
deferred such work until he has per-
fected all preparations for the hand
ling of the increasing flow of water in
the shaft.

MANHATTAN PLACER PROPERTIES
OBTAINING EXCELLENT RESULTS

The experimental mill just started
at the Maris chalcedOny quarry is
now turning out limited amount of
commercial pebbles, says the Manhat-
tan post With a cylinder only eight
feet long the finished product
amounts to about two tons a day.
The process is based on the tend
ency of the sharp points of the onyx
to chip off under a slight quick blow
and that idea is carried out in prac,
tice by giving the charge dry, cy-
clonic tumbling in the cylinder for
a half hour. As the pebbles dis
charge the less perfect ones are
thrown back to pass through the
mill again.
With the permanent mill, which
will be built as soon as the weather
settles the same process will be car
ried out in somewhat intensified de-
gree. 1t will hold two tons and the
time required to mill the charge
will be fifteen to twenty minutes.
The rock will be taken from an
open cut, which shows a face OF
clean ore IS feet high. The mate
rial comes out easily in convenient
form to handle, from pebble size up
to two or three hundred pounds, and

COMPANY NOW WORKING
TWO SHIFTS OF MINERS
Improyement on 9OO-FOot Level Prov

of Wealth

The recent employment of two
shifts of miners in the place of one,
as in the past, has made it possible
for the management of the Jumbo EN-
tension Mining company to push the
extraction of ore and exploratory
work in it's Poleverde claim during
the last week more vigorously than
at any time in the previous history
of the mine. The most gratifying
results have attended the increased op-
erations, according to General Super
intendent Walter S. Norris.
Notwithstanding the shortage OF
railroad cars, the mine has estab-
lished a new shipping record. For
the last four days superintendent
Norris has been despatching daily a
car of shipping ore to the Western
Ore Purchasing company sampler at
Hazen and car of milling ore to
the mill at Bonnie Clare.

samples from mine cars as dumped

lately increased the number of shifts
of miners from one to two and the
mine is now despatching to reduction
plants daily a car of shipping ore and
a car Of mill rock.
Florence Goldtieid
Considerable interest is being man
ifested locally in the annual meeting
OF the Florence Goldfield Mining com
pany, which will be held at the mine
office next Monday. President A. ID.
Parker Of Denver, Col, and Vice-Pres-
ident Thomas G.. Lockhart of Los
Angeles will probably arrive in camp
tomorrow from their respective
homes. They will make a thorough
ins pection of the mine and outline fu-
ture work. Developments in the
mine during the week have been Of
normal but pleasing nature. Super
intendent II. B. Clapp states that the
shipments FOR this month will total
in the neighbOrhood of 1000 tons of

COMPANIES AND INDICIDC Al
OPERATORS MEET WITH
GOOD RESULTS

J. l.. Scott, general manager of
the Goldfeld Double Triangle Min
ing company, operating in the Cac-
tus Range. % miles east of Gold
field, is staying here for few days
on his way to San Francisco for the
purpose of comforting with his asso
ciates in the company as to future
operations. He will leave for the
coast city in few days and upon his
return will undertake the develop
ment of the Double Triangle proper
ty on more extensive scale than at
any time previously attempted.
MIR. Scott is exceedingly jubilant
over conditions prevailing in the
Cactus Range district. He states
that numerous companies and indi-
vidual operators are meeting with
the most gratifying results and that
there is every indication that with
the arrival of spring the district will
witness unprecedented activity. He
says that milling plant is included
in the plans of the district for the
immediate future.
On the Double Triangle property,
according to Mr.. Scott, four feet of
quartz and highly mineralized rhyo
lite, carrying small values, has been
revealed in a ten-foot surface cut. a
6-horsepower gasoline hoist has
been delivered on the ground and up
on the return of Mr. Scott from Cal
ifornia it will be placed in position
and the work of sinking to depth
begun. The company has been or
gauized and owned the property since
1906 but it was only about six
months ago that its systematic devel
opment was begun.
In addition to excellent showings
of commercial or milling ore in drifts
on the 100 and 150foot levels of

WONDER COMPANY PLANS
TO CONSTRUCT A MILL

According to advices from the east,
the Atlas Wonder Mining company,
owning a number of patented claims
in the Wonder district, upon which in
the neiShborhood of 100000 has
been spent in development work, is
contemplating the erection of a mill
on the property at an estimated cost
of 10000 without assessment upon
the stockholders. With this idea, the
company will soon have a thorough
examination of the property made, as
well as mill tests on the ore. The
property is controlled by Captain

Although early day operations
were attended with greater excite
ment and frenzied buying OF stocks,
there is no gainsaying the fact that
the Goldield district is today on a
more substantial basis than it has
been at any time in its previous his
tory. The steady production OF the
proven mines and the marked inn
provements, particularly of late. ir
the conditions prevailing in the sew
eral properties under development is
daily renewing the interest OF invest
ors, large and small, in the district
and the effect thereof is clearly ap-
parent on every hand; therefore, the
outlook for the camp may be said
to be pleasing in the extreme.

Completely overshadowing all re-
cent events. the Goldfield Consoli
dated Mines company added to the

the fortunate holders of shares ST.
067,744.40, which will bring the div
idend disbursements Of the company
up to s27.39S,215 or a total of $40
a share.
That the mines of the company are
splenddly maintaining themselves Is
apparent from the final report OF
General Manager Burch of earnings

general the slopes were looking bet
ter at the end of January than at

totaled 30,19S tons of ore of a net

wind whistling through the leaves
hear the requiem of summer. Sum-
mer is dying. Already there is the
subtle feeling of mysterious change.
The sun still lshines with fierce heat,
but his face is beginning. to pale and
his power is on the wane. In the air
at night is the unmistakable, elusive
smell of approaching fall. Over all
the west and the south and the north
the regal goldenrod is waving it's

muscadine and the huckelberry are
ripening. The luscious winesap is
getting red and the juice of the

ant and the provident squirrel are
laying in their winter store of food.
Throughout the great world of
commerce is pulsing again the life

and the springs and the coast the
men and women of business are re-
turning to their toll and the boys and

reviving energy and rC~ve forces as
he throws off the lazy indifference of
summer and prepares for vigorous
action. The Southern fields are
white for the harvest and the merry
song of the cotton picker is heard on
