GOLDF|ELD MAKES
EXCELLENT SHOWING
Plenty of Good Ore Still
Coming From Old Lease
Workings.

The final report Of production and
earnings OF the Goldield Consolidated
Mines company for the month OF Novem-
Der has been Issued by the general man
ager, Albert Burch, and shows that the
net profits for the month exceed, as has
usually been the case, the preliminary
estimates. Issued early in December. says
the GoIdfeld Tribune. The report makes
good showing In view OF the fact that
It covers operations for a short month.
Operatng costs have been further re-
duced to s5SS per ton net and the cost
of new development work was lower than
the average In the past, being S4.4S per
linear foot.
An indication Of the fact that new de-
posits Of rich ore may be found in uneN
plored portions OF the territory of the
Consolidated company is found in the
statement that quantity of $40 ore has
been exposed In the caying OF q part of
the great glory-holc of the Combination.
The report states that good ore continues
to come from the old lease workings OH
the Mohawk and near the western bound
ground for the belief that the extension
OF some of these bonanZe ore bodies will
be found in exploring adjoining proper
ties.
Some of the most Interesting work in
Consolidated territory and Of greatest
significance to the future Of the district
is that now being conducted at great
depth on the 1900 and 1+o0-foot levels OF
the Grizzly Bear mine. 1t is also of in
terest to know that the ore has been fol-
lowed from the Mohawk workings into

Soil Becoming Impoverished.

Through centuries Of cropping the Ger
man farms were becoming impoverishe ed
at the time OF Professor Won Liebie's
discovery. But fortunately for German
prosperity vast deposits, or reservoirs OF
potash, had been discovered. but were re-
ea rded as practically worthless until Pro-
fessor Won LiebiG's discovery awakened
the German government TO the vast I'm
portance of the old but new agricultural
asset The German farms and fields have
been rescued from semi sterility and
transformed by the application OF potash
10 the most fruitful in all the world.
Such has been the demand for potash
from other countries. including ou- New
England and middle states. that the Ger
man government assumed control or its
manufacture and distribution. Strict
laws were enacted with the object of
regulating and even restricting the eX
poTta ton of potash, OF which Germany
sun has monopoly.
The compa lively virgin soils Of the
United States, and many OF the Inanufac-
turing Industries, require potash to- the
extent of more thar 81 900, 900 per month
