ager Darcy that operations at depth
in the property of the Atlanta Mines
company, which have been conducted
upon a reduced scale for the last
month in consequence of the increas-
ed flow of water encountered, will be
again in full swing within the next
sixty days. An order was placed
Thursday by Manager Darcy for ad-
ditiOnal pumping equipment to be
installed in the bottom of the 1900
foot shaft on the property of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company, to
which the water gravitates through
the long southwest crosscut on the
175O-foot level into the Atlanta
ground. With the additional pumps,
the equipment in the Merger shaft
will be capable of handling 500, 200
gallons a day. AS it will be neces-

The final report of Assistant Cen
eral Manager J. w. Hutchinson of
the operations and earnings of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany for the month of May, recently
made public, reflects the highly
pleasing conditions prevailing in its
| various properties. 1t shows that,
both in tonnage treated by the mill
and net profits, the mines made
better showing than during the
previous month Of April. A total OF
3O.1Sl tons of ore was treated by
the mill during May, yielding net
profits of 155,04S.55, as against
2S,221 tons during the preceding
month from which net profits of
$15O,764.47 were realized, an in
crease of approximately 1000 tons
and more than $4,000 net profits. In
May operating expenses tOtalled
$5.S1 per ton as against $6.05 in
April, a decrease of twenty-four cents
a ton.
The recent consummatiOn of the
deal with the Jesse knight interests
! of Utah whereby it acquired control
of the Aurora Consolidated Mines
company property at Aurora, Mineral
county, will have the effect or
doubling the scope of the operations
, of the Goldfield Consolidated. The
Goldfield Consolidated has purchased
eighty-seven per cent or $4,000 OF
the 680,500 issued shares OF the
stock of the Aurora company, which
is capitalized for 100000 shares
The consideration involved was upon
a basis of $4,000 for the entire
property, including a thoroughly de-
veloped mine with a mammoth ton
mage of ore of slightly less than 80
a ton blocked out and a 50O-ton
daily capacity mill, which was re-
Gently completed and is ready to be
placed into commission. The con-
sideration was $225,OO0 less than
that named in the original option Of
purchase obtained by the Goldheld
Consolidated and which was permit
ted to lapse.
Jumbo Extension
The Jumbo Extension mine on
Tuesday increased it's daily ship
ments of ore to the mill of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company
from approximately eighty-six TO

Those who are still young and ro-
