Although, as General Manager Al
bert Burch stated in the course OF
his remarks at a banquet in Gold
field about two months ago, the
cream has been SKINNED off," the
various properties of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company still re-
main great storehouses of wealth.
This fact was signally attested by
the preliminary estimate of the pro-
duction and earnings during the
month of February, made public
about a week ago. 1t showed that

OBTAIN LEASE
ON THE MERGER
RICHARD :. MINER AND Il. "
DREYER TO OPERATE BLOCK
OF GROUND

The Goldfield Merger Mines COM
pany, by it's general manager, X. M.
Simpson. has leased for a period OF
one year to Richard S. Miner and
Edward w. Dreyer, both of Gold
field, a block of ground, 400 feet
square and 800 feet, on it's Velvet
claim, adjoining the POleverde claim
of the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany. The letting of the lease will
in no way interfere with the pend
ing deal providing for the purchase
by the Jumbo Extension company
from the Merger Mines company of
the Velvet claim.
The Miner and Dreyer lease in
cludes the original Velvet shaft,
which was sunk to a depth of more
than 800 feet during the boom days
of the district. Under the terms of
the lease, Miner and Dreyer can only
work the ground to a depth of 800
feet Considerable lateral work was
performed in the ground comprising
the leasehold in the early days of the
camp. The lessees intend operating
the ground as private enterprise.

LATE DEVELOPMENTS IN Pine

, in two places, work has proven the
ore to be in proper place and ready
for extraction. There is several
thousand dollars worth of ore in
sight at present in the mine and the
showing is steadily improving.
Excellent results are being accom-
plished in the operations of the San
tone Placer company holdings on lhe

good grade of gravel is being hand
led, the cleanup for February being
in the neighborhood of $2500.
A portion of the framework OF
the tramway from the top of Mus
tang hill to the War Eagle mill of
the Commercial Mines and Milling
company was considerably damaged
recently by a runaway car Loaded
with several tons of ore, the car was
started down the tramway without
the counterbalancing cable being at
tached to it. The car tore down the
track at terrific rate of speed but
fortunately jumped the rails before
it reached the receiving bin at the
mill. tearing away a part of the
framework of the tramway.

Recent developments on various
properties in the Manhattan district
have been of a highly encouraging
character. On the Gold Reef prop
erty, a body of very rich ore has
been exposed in a drift on the 200
foot level and the lessees are conf
dent that the find will prove one Of
much Importance.
Whitman and Millsap, who are
operating a lease on the Manhattan
Earl, have closed negotiations for
the treatment of their ore at the
Rogers ten-stamp mill, which will
resume operations in the near future.
The lessees are confident that they
have sufficient ore on the dump and
blocked out in their workings to con-
tinue milling operations for an in
definite period.
An excellent showing of ore has
been revealed in the Bath lease on
Litigation hill From the fissure
vein at about the 400-foot level,
work in the hanging wall to the
west is developing fine shoot of ore
of very good grade. At point about

CLEANUP MADE
At LEASE MILL
TEST RUN OF ORE AT DIAMOND
FIELD PLANT PROVES
SATISFACTORY

After a test run of about three
weeks in low grade ore from old
dumps, a cleanup was made several
days ago at the recently completed
five-stamp mill OF the Diamondfield
Mining and Milling company, which
is operating adjoining blocks OF
ground on the estates of the Goldfield
Great Bend Mining company and the
Goldfield Daisy Mining company, un-
der five and two-year leases, respect
lively
While he announced no figures, ex-
planning that only the lowest grade
ore was utilized, Manager E. w.
Thorns of the leasing company, stated
yesterday that the result of the
cleanup was eminently satisfactory
and that he and his associates are
we'll pleased. Mr.. Thorns further
stated that the mill is reducing ore
at the rate of twenty tons in "a
hours and that within the next few
days the plant will be put to work
on higher grade ore extracted from
the workings of the two leaseholds.
At the old Toplitz shaft on the Daisy,
which is about 700 feet from the mill
located on the Great Bend property.
an ore bin of 80 tons capacity has
been erected.
On the 1O0foot lever or the old
Toplitz shaft, an oreshoot has been
proven with raises for length of
100 feet and an average width of
eleven feet, from which assays rang
ing from IS to SIS a ton are OBJ
tanned. This orebody extends from
the Daisy property into the Great
Bend ground toward the old Diadem
shaft, in which direction the lessees
are exploring it.
Within the near future opera
tions will be resumed on the 100 and
15u-foot levels of the old incline
shaft on the Great Bend estate, on
both of which an orebody from three
to four feet in width and averaging
$12 a ton, has been exposed for a
distance of about so feet.

EXPOSED

The work of 'false-setting" the
station at the 715-foOt level in the
shaft of the property of the Goldfield
Orc Mining company, made necessary
by bad or moving ground, will be
completed in the next day or two and
Immediately thereafter sinking opera
tions will be resumed. The moving
ground encountered strengthens the
theory that the Orc estate is trav-
ersed by the Columbia Mountain
fault plane and the resumption of
sinking is likely to be followed by
DEVELOPMENTS of the utmost import
ance.
Prior to the Inauguration of the
work of cutting the station at the
715-foot level, the shaft about two
weeks ago, at a depth of 1877 feet,
revealed quartz across the entire bot
tom but, as there was a slight in
crease in the flow of water. Manager
Thomas F. Manning deferred the ex
ploration of the find until the COM
pletion of the station. Lately the
water flow has lessened considerably
and Manager Manning does not an
ticipate that it will be hindrance
to operations when sinking is re-
sumed to determine the magnitude of
the quartz body revealed.

SHIPPER soon
OLD HASBROUCk PROPERTY Is
COMING TO THE FRONT
AGAIN

Claude M. Smith, mining recorder
of the Goldfield district in the early
days, who is at present associated
with George A. Kernicke and others
in the present ownership of the old
Hasbrouck Mining company property
six files southwest of Tonopah, was
a visitor to Goldfield Monday. Mr..
Smith was one of the original owners
of the Velvet claim, now a part of
the estate of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company, while Mr.. Kernicke
was one of the first leasers of this
district, both of them coming here
from Tonopah soon after the discov-
cry of the camp.
According to Mr.. Smith, the old
HasbrOuck property is responding
splendidly to development and will
soon enter the list of shipping mines
of southern Nevada. He calculates
that the initial carload shipment will
be made within the next week or ten
days. The shipment will be made up
entirely of ore extracted in develop
ment work, no attempt at stopping
having thus far been made. A fifty
ton ore bin on the property was COM
pleted only few days ago.
Exploratory work has proven the
main vein of the property to verti-
cal depth of 500 feet. From north
east crosscut tunnel, driven into the
mountain distance of $40 feet,
drifting east and west is in prog
ress on the vein. In these drifts an
ore shoot 800 feet in length has been
proven. Taken as a whole, the ore
body shows width of about ten
feet of low grade milling ore but
only about four feet is being mined,
from which assays averaging $25
a ton in gold and silver, the former
predominating, are obtained, accord
ing to Mr. Smith. The property is
being operated as private enter
prise and force of six men is en-
ployeu.

Only the actual signing of papers
is necessary to successfully close the
negotiations that have been i'll pro-
gress for several weeks between the
Coldfield Merger Mines company and
the Jumbo Extension Mining conf
psny for the sale by the former TO
the latter of it's Velvet claim. Ac-
cording to Charles S. Sprague, vice
president of the Jumbo Extension,
all the preliminaries of the deal
have been arranged and it will be
closed in the next day or two upon
the receipt here of the necessary
legal documents from c. O. White
more of Los Angeles, president of
the Merger Mines company
1t is known that the deal finally
determined upon differs considerably
from the original negotiations. Ac-
cOrding to information of a thor
oughly reliable character, the first
negotiations provided for an increase
in the capital stock of the Jumbo
Extension from 100000 to 2.0OO,-
900 shares, the Merger to receive
100000 of the $4,000 share in
crease and no cash in payment for
the Velvet claim. The present deal
it is understood, calls for the pay
ment of cash and possibly some
stock. 1t is learned that the cash
consideration will amount to ap-
proXimately $4,000 with a. further
stock consideration or about $780,

tion of increasing the capitalization
of the company and the payment of

OUTLOOK FOR

UPON CONDITIONS PRE-
VAILING LOCALLY

"Goldfield poks better at present
than it has for several years"
Such was the comment today of
James r. Davis, president and gen.
eral manager of the Round Noun
tain Mining company, who is at pres
ent spending a few days at the COM
pany offices in Goldfield after an alb
the Round Mountain district. He
will return thither in few days.

day night" continued Mr.. Davis,
while the festivities incident to the
formal opening of the magnificent
quarters of the newly organized
Goldfield Unity club were in full
swing and | want to tell you that
the scene closely resembled in anima-
ton and hustle those of the early
days of the camp. Incidentally, |
wish to say that | think that the
new organization will prove factor
of importance in the future history
of Goldfield and will aid materially
in it's advancement.

me.
1T is evident that Goldfield is es-
tablishing itself more substantially
than ever as a mining center. The

the properties that have lain idle for
several years is substantial proof of
the high regard in which the dis

best output in any one month since
its mill was destroyed by fire about
two years ago. There has been a
continuance of the improved ore
