FLORENCE RECEIVER
Is DISCHARGED D

On petition of Harry B. Clapp,
receiver for the Florence Goldfield
Mining company, for an order of
the court to close the receivership
and on showing that all claims
had been adjusted, including sums
due the receiver and his attorney,
John +. Kunz, Judge j. Emmett
Walsh yesterday discharged the re-
ceiver.
According to the account of Re-
ceiver Clapp, there is now on de-
posit in the John S. Cook bank
$1S72.O6, after the payment of all
expenses, except current expenses
from Sept. 1, and the company has
agreed to assume this Indebtedness.
Small sums still remain due the re-
ceivership.
The six leases now operating will
continue their operations, the Flor
ence company being substituted fer
the receiver as lessor.
The court allowed the receiver
$6216.86, of which $5400 had been
paid, and John F. Kunz, attorney
for the receiver, was allowed the
same amount, of which $4,000 had
been paid.
The $2764 suit of the Western
Ore Purchasing company against
the receiver, arising from an alleg-
ed shipment of "salted" ore by a
lessee, was dismissed by the court
and it is understood this claim will
be settled by agreement between
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany and the Florence company.
Eight cars of ore are now in transit,
A. D. Parker, president and treas
urer of the Florence company, has
been in Goldfield for some time in
connection with the closing of the
receivership and will remain here
for another week.
The Florence went into the hands
of the receiver Nov. 23, 1916 and
since that time the holdings in
Goldfield have produced, gross,
close to $250,000, including the sale
of from $4,000 to 100000 worth
of machinery.
The amount of compensation for
the receiver allowed by the court
was the amount fixed by law.

south of the Bell Wilder. The vein
has beeen found at the 120-foot
level and ore assaying $50 per ton
has been opened.
The big motor to complete equip
ment of the Rochester Combined
Mines company mill at Packard has
arrived at the mill and will be set
in place in the next few days. The
condition of the mine is reported to
be excellent. The drift on the 100
foot level is now out 200 feet and
is reported to be in good ore. Ore
assaying 800 per ton is being pro-
duced from the 100-foot level.
Ore in the north drift on the
elevtnth level of the Rochester Mines
company is now IL feet wide and is
improving in width and value as
work progresses, according to re-
ports. The vein on the tenth level
is five feet wide and good assays
are being obtained. The average
daily tonnage for last month was
100, the millheads assaying s14.3O
per ton.

The pump station at 500 feet in
the shaft of the Grandma has been
completed and the pump will be
installed as soon as additional parts
have been received from the ma
chine shops. The work of placing
water pipe in the shaft has been
delayed by the failure to arrive
from the factory of hoist parts
necessary before the pipe can be
lowered into the shaft. concrete
foundation for the pump has been
completed on the station at 500 feet
and everything will soon be ready
for starting drifting northeast and
southwest from the shaft, along the
surface of the shale.
Assays of from $4 to $8 continue
to be obtained at the S00-foot point,
where work is being done in the big
vein.
The air compressor has been in
stalled and is now in use. Work
on the erection of the blacksmith
shop will be started soon and tool
sharpener will be added to the
equipment, making one of the most
complete surface plants in the dis
trict and more than ample for OPP
erations on a broad scale at depth.
After the drifts have been started
at 500 feet, it is the plan Of the
management to again start work in
the cross-cut at SIS feet and the

NEW DIVIDE PLANT
IS BEING ERECTED

The new electrically-driven sur
face equipment of the Tonopah Di-
vide mine should be in operation
within less than a week and with
this in place additional air drills
will be installed and the great ore
body will be developed on all three
levels.
Sinking will soon be resumed in
the main shaft, which eventually
will be sunk at least to water level,
or to from 700 to 500 feet. The
lowest level. is now at $40 feet.
Regular shipments of ore will be-
gin to the Goldfield Consolidated
mill when the new plant is in oper-
alton and these shipments will be
increased from an initial rate of
one carload daily.
The dump at the main shaft, ac-
cording to Superintendent Waters,
contains 5000 tons of ore of high
milling grade, assaying, it is be-
lieved, from $25 to $50 per ton.
All this ore was mined in develop
ment work and will for some time
provide all the ore necessary for
shipments to the Consolidated mill.
1t is estimated that ore blocked
out in the Divide mine, from the
160 to 370-foot level, is worth con-
siderably more than 100000. On
the 160 and 265-foot levels the ore
is exposed for a distance along the
vein of over 260 feet and on the
$40 level drifts have been extended
for 200 feet in high-grade ore.
Crosscuts show the vein to average
over rs feet in width in ore aver
aging over $50 per ton.
The Divide mine was practically
idle for many years until about a
year ago and it is only from devel-
opment in this period that it has
proved to be one of the most valu-
able mines in the southern part of
the state.

GREAT BEND IS AGAIN SHIPPING
and ORE IS CUT ON 375 Level

The Great Bend shipped a car
load of ore few days ago and wa
gons are now hauling ore to Gold
field for another shipment to the
Western Ore Purchasing company
at Hazen. The ore is coming from
1O3 drift, on the first. or 160-foot
level and, after ore has been opened
in a raise from the 375-foot level,
shipments will also be started from
this point.
This raise is being driven to open
an ore-shoot found on the upper
levels and has advanced 25 feet.
1t is now entering the orebody,
which dips east, and it is expected
that shipments can be made for a
long period from this point alone.
after the ore has been opened to a
greater extent than at present. With
stopping being done at two points, it

COMSTOCK OUTPUT
FOR WEEK Is LOW

Journal of Commerce.: The COM
stock mines milled 447 tons of ore
at the Mexican mill during the
week just closed The total value
of the ore milled was $626722. The
Union Consolidated contributed 104
tons averaging $13.S4 per ton; Con-
solidated Virginia milled 2SS tons
sampling $12.S9 per ton, while the
Mexican mine milled 26 tons run
ming $36.72. and the Ophir 80 tons
averaging $55S per ton.

MANHATTAN CONSOLIDATED CUTS
Big ORE-SROOT ON Third LEVEL
Manhattan Consolidated

Drifting is in progress on the
Mud ledge. Superintendent Page
reports that he has gone through
one shoot of ore six feet in width
and 25 feet long. 1t will average
between $40 and SIS to the ton
and is free milling. The drift is
continuing west in ledge matter,
well defined. This makes the third
shoot of ore that the drift has
passed through in $50 feet. The
working is on the third level
the Mushett ledge raising is in
progress from the third to the sec
ond level. The working is being
driven for air as well as for devel-
oping ore. The raise shows five
feet of free milling ore of good
The stope is 80 feet long The ex-
pense of operating has recently been
cut in half, as hosting of water was
one of the chief expenses. Since
the first of the month there has
been no water above the fourth
level and all that is pumped is for
use in running the machinery. The
Mud ledge, according to Mr.. Page,
is proving up fine and dandy"
There is an immense tonnage in
sight of both free and refractory
ores. 1t is the purpose of the COM
pany to either lease local mill or
construct reduction works of it's
own in the near future.
Union Amalgamated
Work in the Union Amalgamated
property is ar9Er,ssing in a most
satisfactory -aanner. The large
east orebody has been developed
sufficiently to show that it is larg-
er and richer than where developed
on the level above and for 20 feet
of it's width is devoid of any waste
whatever. In addition to that work
the Pierce fault ore shoot which
takes the form of fissure lying
along the course of the fault has
been encountered in a south drift
from the main crosscut between the
Earl and Bath shafts and the one
assay taken from the ledge ran
$106 per ton.
In order to do the necessary work
in searching the several different
ore shoots in the Bath workings 1t
is necessary to divert the hosting
operations on the Bath shaft on
account of the grade making it i'm
possible for man to push the
loaded cars to the Earl shaft. There
are four known shoots to be open
ed in the vicinity of the Bath shaft
and owing to the simplicity of the
problems of calculation no delay
need be expected in finding them.
While this new exploration work is
in progress the drift will be con-
tinued to determine the extent of
the Pierce ore shoot, which is an
excellent prospect

Tonopah Ex.

Aside from the report of the earn
ings as shown above, there is no
predominating feature of the cur
rent report of operations at the To-
nopah Extension Mining company.
The earnings compare with the pre-
vious months profits as follows:
Dry tons milled, $500; gold bullion
produced, 11O1.71 ounces; silver
bullion, 115,214.71 ounces; profits
for July $45,541.S2. The figures
show that the grade of the ore has
been consistently maintained as
compared with the previous month,
though the output was considerably
smaller in August than in July.
With the pumping facilities at
the Victor shaft adequate for the
handling of the water below the
176O-foot level. better progress is
being made in the matter of cut
ting a station at this depth. At the
same time it is reported that there
appears to be a elimination in the
flow, and it is hoped that within a
reasonably short space of time the
company will be enabled to resume
it's work of sinking the shaft so as
to allow for operations at the 1850
foot level, as contemplated when it
started the sinking work from the
1540-foot level
The development work resulted
in a lower tonnage record than has
been shown by the Extension COM
pany for some time, the total ad-
vance being 119 feet. or this
amount, 70 feet of work was done
in the No. 2 shaft section of the
mine, and 40 feet in the Victor
ground. The low figure at the lat
ter portion of the property is prob
ably accounted for by the fact that
in recent reports it was shown that
several workings, particularly those
designed to make connections be-
tween levels, accomplished their
purpose and thereupon operations
were discontinued.
Belmont
The initial cleanup of September
at the mill of the Tonopah Belmont
company at Tonopah resulted in the
production of 81 bars of bullion,
with a total weight of $4,000 ounc-
es. The estimated value of the
shipment is $115,2O0.
TOnOpah Mining
Notice was published last week
by the Tonopah Mining Company
that it's board of directors, at a
meeting held on Sept. 19 had de-
clared a dividend of Is per cent,
payable Oct 81. 1918, to stockhold-
ers of record on the books of the
company on Sept. 80. Transfers
will be suspended from the latter

GOOD PRODUCTION Being MADE
FROM MANY Mines IN STATE

During the past week the Mexi-
can mill on the Comstock treated
496 tons of ore from the Union
Con. mine and dump, the Con. Vir-
ginia and the Sierra Nevada. The
Mexican produced IA tons of $11.94
ore and seven tons of $500 ore,
the latter saved in enlarging a COM
partment in a winze from the north
drift.
Recovery of amalgam from the
Carson river is progressing satisfac-
torily. 1t was only recently that a
dredge and concentrator started op-
Grating below the Santiago mill and
if the plant is successful it will lead
to Others being put in operation to
recover the fortunes that went down
the river from the mills in former
days.
B. Martin, who is interested with
G. H. Carnahan in a lease on
in the Santa Rosa mountains near
Rebel creek, states that a carload
shipment of rich silver ore will be
hauled from the lease as soon as
washed-out roads in the vicinity can
be repaired. Martin has also un-
covered on a lease a vein of schee-
lite paralleling the silver-bearing
vein. The discovery of tungsten
deposits at this point in Humboldt
county greatly increases the area
of the tungsten zone, which is
proving to be one of the most ex-
tensive in the country, the mineral
now being found over an area of
many hundred square miles.
Thirty men are now at work in
the old town of Belmont, according
to reports from there, and. more will
be employed in the near future.
Work at present is confined to un-
watering the mines,s task that
may require several months.
During the past few months the
Mason Valley Mines company has
produced copper at rate of 49,
100000 pounds annually, or 4,0OC,-
600 pounds over the output for
1917.
Machinery and retorts are being
shipped to the Childress cinnabar
mine, south of Battle Mountain, in
Lander coSnty, where large guam
tity of ore is said to be blocked
out.
Large quantities of silver ore are
now being produced by mines of the
Cherry Creek district, in northern
Eureka county. Cherry Creek has
a record for making a big produc-
tion in the past and is again COM
ing to the front as one of the lead
ing silver producers of the state
Lessees are working in the old
Mary Ann mine, one of the early
day producers, and since spring
have shipped IL carloads of ore av-
eraging 40 ounces silver per ton
Many other lessees are making good
productions.
The Manhattan company
will resume work on several mines
in the Austin district, according to
reports from there, and leases will
also be let. The upper levels of
the Patriot mine, at Yankee Blade,
are being reopened and the Belle
Wilder and Diana are also being
reopened. The Bell Wilder shaft
will be cleaned to the 20O-foot level
and a crosscut there will be retim-
bered and extended toward the Tro-
jan shaft. The Diana is 1900 feet

working will be continued until it
reaches the west boundary line of
the Grandma ground. Raises will
be driven from the drifts and the

the shale will be thoroughly explor-
ed as these workings are extended
from the shaft.

date until Act. z, at which time the
books will be reopened.
An explanation of the increased
dividend rate is given by the direc-
tors of the company in the notice
of the coming disbursement. This
is to the effect that the former pol
icy of the company relative to de-
claring dividends quarterly has been
changed and that hereafter it in
tends to pay any dividend declared
twice a year. With this object in
view, the company has at this time
anticipated the dividend which
would ordinarily have been declared
in January of next year, and will
include it in the payment of the
present dividend.
With the payment of this, the
54th dividend declared by the COM
pany since it started mining opera
tions about II years ago. the Tono-
pah Mining company will have re-
turned to its stockholders nearly
100000 in dividends, besides
the refund of their original invest
mcnt of about $SSO.O0O.
West End
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company, as the result of the

weighing 42,47O ounces. The gold
and silver contents of the bars, COM
puted at the existing prices for
silver, make the shipmcn; w"rth

Butler
The principal feature of interest
in connection with the report of op-
erations at the Jim Butler Tonopah
Mining company for the past week
relates to the starting of crosscut
from the drift running from the
bottom of the winze, for the pur-
pose of exploring the ground for the
faulted segment of the Fraction
vein.
Where the vein has previously
been developed and mined, excellent
widths of good grade ore were
found to maintain consistent
strength, and If the company is sue
cessful in recovering the section of
the vein cut off by the fault, it is
expected to show much the same
conditions beyond the fault as were
proven by the work on the develop
ed portion of the vein. Prepara-
tions for the starting of this WORK
were completed late last week, and
the crosscut is now making good
headway, with gratifying prospects.
