GRANT LEASES
, Continued from Page One,

Continued from Page One'
ment yesterday that he would
shortly be employing a large force
of men, and that early shipments
could be looked for. In fact, this
lessee was in search of miners
Sunday morning.
F. B. Mechlin, who was granted
a lease on the appurtenances now
on the property, including hoist,
compressor and other surface equip
ment. is arranging to take care of
all the leasers who may be in a
rock, as the case may be.
1t will be some time before Re
ceiver Clapp has all the ground
blocked out to permit of granting
privileges, but as fast as the work
progresses applications will be acted
upon.
Under the leasing system, as
adopted, ald which will be carried
out with a view of working in lar
mony with the lessee, the Florence
mine should soon again take its
place among the list of the heavy
shippers of the Goldfeld district.
Ground will only be allotted down
as far as the 6OO-foot level, but con-
sidering the extensive drifting and
stopping that has been performed on
the property down to the 600-foot
level there will unuueStionably be
uncovered large and rich bodies of
mineral, which will add materially
in swelling the production of this
section when the output is computed
at the end of the present year.
The policy now being pursued by
the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company in the operation of terri
tory in it's vast mineral estate, and
the Florence mine through court
orders, will surely rebound to the
benefit of Goldfield as a community
and the surrounding country as a
mining district in general, retaining
the reputation it has long enjoyed
as the home of ONE of the greatest
mines in the west. 1t will result in
dividends that will again cause the
investing public to sit up and take
notice.
G%oldfeld's comeback is being
closely watched and Goldfield stocks
are again the center of attraction
on the San Francisco exchange.

HALF PACIFIC
GOLD IS SHORT
NOT IN QUANTITY But IN
WEIGHT DUE TO
ABRASION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Ap-
proximataly so per cent of the gold
coin in common circulation on the
Pacific slope, reports to the treas
ury department indicate, is light in
weight, the loss being negligible on
each coin but ranging between 90
cents and 1915 per $1,000. The
loss in weight is attributable to
abrasion, due to the passage from
hand to hand.
Figures compiled for the federal
reserve bank of San Francisco indi-
cate that from 10 to 20 per cent of
the $40 gold pieces are light in
weight and that the percentage
among SO and IS pieces varies
from 40 to so per cent and from rs
to S5 per cent, respectively.

TONOPAH AND GOLDFIELD
TRAIN Is HOURS LATE

The Tonopah and Goldfeld train
due here this morning was, at last
reports, about six hours late Il it
is expected that it will get in about
, o'clock. The cause of the delay
is not known to railroad officials
in Goldfeld beyond that the trouble
is on the Southern Pacific system
and that the Southern Pacific train
connecting with the Tonopah and
Goldfeld at Nina had not arrived
there. 1t is thought the recent
storm which swept the northern
portions of this state and California
and which arrived in Goldfeld yes
terday has caused an interruption
in traffic ver the mountains.

EVANS ASKS AID
FOR %PR0SPECT0R
WOULD MAKE STATE HIS PART
NER IN OPENING NEW
DISTRICTS

The bill introduced by Assembly
man Evans of Esmeralda has come
from the printer and is being read
with interest by prospectors and
those engaged in the mining indus
try. The bill is understood to have
been patterned after a law in force
in Australia.
Under the terms of the bill every
prospector who is a citizen of the
United States and who has resided in
Nevada for a period of three years
or more, is entitled to receive from
the state one-half the cost of de-
velopment work on such mining
claims as he may hold, subject to
certain conditions and limitations.
These conditions are that he shall
notify the state inspector of mines,
giving the location of his claims,
stating the amount of development
work done, the date of location and
giving any other data required by
the mine inspector. The inspector
shall then visit the property n
decide whether it is worth develop
ment. If the inspector decides that
it has value, he and the owner shall
agree upon a valuation of the prop
erty and upon the sum to be advanc-
ed by the state, not to exceed 5000,
for development purposes. This
sum is to represent end to be paid
as compensation for one-half the
labor thereafter performed. n
owner shall then convey and trans
fer to the state the interest of the
claim represented by the money to
be advanced, based upon the agreed
price. The sum agreed upon shall
be paid in monthly installments by
the state upon proper vouchers be-
ing filed. The interest held by the
state may be disposed of by the
mining inspector upon payment to
him of a sum not less than the
amount advanced, and the money so
received shall be paid into the gen.
eral fund of the state treasury.
No sums are to be advanced for
any other purpose than labor and
nothing shall be advanced for ex-
plotting or developing any known
payable deposit or to unwater any
mine, nor within one-half mile of a
paying mine, nor for work which
would benefit the applicant only and
not develop and open a new district
or property. The act does not ap-
ply in any instance where an amount
less than $500 has not already been
expended in development work.
The state mining inspector is au-
thorized to make rules and regula-
tions necessary to the carrying out
of the provisions of the act and the
sum of $10,O 900 is appropriated for
the purpose of making it effective.

PASS EXAMS

CALIFORNIA GUARDSMEN ARE
ORDERED TO TAKE QUIZ OR
GIVE UP COMMISSIONS

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 22.-Under
a provision of the national guard
act, 165 officers of the California
guard must pass examination within
a month or they will lose their
commissions. This was an order
issued today by Governor Hiram
Johnson through the adjutant gen
eral of the state.
AS a result of the edict there was
much CONSERVATION among the many
officers who are holding their COM
missions without having subjected
themselves to the test as required
under the law which makes the
national guard a member and sub
ject to call of the regular fighting
force of the United States.

tematic and energetic campaign OF
exploration and that development
will start within a comparatively
short time.
The circular above referred 10
was mailed on February z, and just
eleven days had interviewed when
H. H. Weir, the moving spirit in the
enterprise, felt that the time was
ripe to proceed with organization
of the new company. The assess
ment asked of the old stockholders
amounts to one and one-half e
a share upon a capitalization OF
800, 900, shares having a par value
IF ten cents each, or 1,OOO,OOO
shares.
The increase in the capitalization
for the Reorganized Lou Dillon Min
ing company was predicated with the
idea of securing additional ground,
option upon a group of promising
claims lying contiguous to the orlgl-
, nal holdings having previously been
secured.
The first step in the line of devel-
opment will be to have the SHAFT
thoroughly examined to determine
what repairs, if any, will be neces-
sary. Superficial examination shows
the shaft in a wonderful state or
preservation, although the mine has
lain dormant for the last ten years.
The general and ultimate plan OF
development will be governed by
operations now going forward at the
Silver Pick mine. The fact a
been established that in the Silver
Pick five lodges have been exposed,
all of which are leading towards
Lou Dillon property. Operations on
the Lou Dillon will probably be
started on the 5OO-foot level of the
main shaft.

unusually slow. Shipments from
the mine are still being maintained
and a good revenue is being realized
from the sale of the ore.
Reorganized Cracker Jack
A new 300, 0OO-gallon centrifugal
pump was received this week from
Los Angeles for this well-know1
property, which is undergoing an
extensive campaign of exploration.
The pump will be installed on the
-32O-foot level of the mine to assist
the rs, 000-gallon pump in handling
the increased flow of water that ma
been encountered. Manager H. G.
Mcmahon stated that just as soon
as the installation had been made
that the usual development with a
crew of men working on three
S-hour shifts would follow.
Red Hill Florence
At the present writing a crew of
25 men working on three S-hour
shifts is being employed. The
double-compartme1t shaft has been
retimbered down to the first, or
15O-foot, level. Installation of the
5O~-horsepower double-drum hoist
is nearing completion, while 10000
feet of shaft timbers have been de-
livered on the ground, which VIII
be sufficient to permit of repairing
the shaft down to the 800-foot level.
Goldfield Consolidated
There are now IL sets of leasers
upon this we'll known property, and
there is a hum of activity not wit
messed in a long period. Manager
]. w. Hutchinson is employing a
force of men in overhauling the
fotation plant and it is now only the
matter of a short time until ore
treatment will be a reality.
Florence Mine
Receiver H. B. Clapp of the
Florence Mining company is en-
gagged in blocking out the ground
down to the 6OO-foot level prepare
tory to granting leasing privileges.
Two leases were granted last Sat
urday and work started on Monday.
Scores of applications for territory
are being received and within a
short time there will be much ac-
tivity noticeable at this old famous
producer.
Atlanta Mine
The discovery made on the 1850
foot level of this mine, operations
being prosecuted through the Gold
field Merger shaft, is reported by
Manager A. |. Darcy as being more
than up to expectations. The new
ore shoot has been exposed for 100
feet and has an average width OF
about five feet. Drifting is still in
order and there is apparently no
indication that the full extent OF the
find has been ascertained. Some
trouble has been experienced in Sc
curing the required number of rail
road cars to move the product OF
the mine, but it is anticipated that
the situation will be relieved in the
course of a few days.
Jumbo Junior
Development on this well known
property is being carried forward
with satisfactory results, operations
being conferred on the 8SO-foot level.
From a winze sunk from the level
a raise is being put up near the end
of the drift, which, it is expected,
will cut the north portion of the
main Jumbo Extension vein. 1t is
proposed to prospect this vein thor
oughly. Consulting Engineer j. X
Turner states that the vein matter
exposed in the raise is heavily min
eralized, but that the values are
low.
