NEW YORK, Sept i2-Charles Kurz-
man, the Fifth avenue milliner and

prices for clothing have never been so
high in Paris as this summer, but that
the wardrObes of Partisan women Of
fashion were never more elaborate.
THE prices are at least three times
what they were in normal times" he
said. Very ordinary serge dresses
marked at 1900 TO 1000 francs are not
an uncommon sight in the shops. A
Parisienne of the well-dressed type,
however, would turn up her nose at
such clothing. You cannot find any

new COMPANY TO OPERATE CONSOLIDATED TERRITORY

"A new company formed of San
Francisco business men has pur-
chased a portion of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company prop
erty and obtained lease on the
remainder OF it's mines. The new
company will assume the responsi-
bility of mine operations on Feb.

conduct development work ener-
getically and at the same time
suitcase portions of the estate.
H. G. Mcmahon will be the local
representative of the new COM
pany"
The Goldfield Mining company
plans to offer to stockholders of the
Consolidated the first opportunity
to subscribe for stock of the new
corporation. The stock will be list
ed in New York and San Francisco.

LONE STAR WORKING
TO OPEN ORE ON
ESQ LEVEL
ASSAYS OF OVER FORTY DOL
LARS ARE OBJ
TANNED

The mining work performed by
the Lone Star for the month OF
January, as stated in a report by
Superintendent G. B. Hartley, con-
sisted of completing the unwatering
and cleaning of the 250foOt level
of the No 1, or Nelligan, shaft. In
doing this $4,000 gallons of water
and 125 tons of muck were hOisted
to the surface. Part of the east
crosscut was retimbered and 100
feet of new track was laid. The
east crosscut was advanced Is
feet to point 141 feet from the
shaft. The west crosscut was ad-
vanced Is feet, the breast now be-
ing 40 feet from the shaft.
Exploration work is now being
conducted on the 250-foot level, in
the east and west crosscuts, accord
ing to Consulting Engineer A. IL
Elftman, who has made thorough
examination of this level since 1t
was cleaned. The level had not
been accessible for some years.
All the old reports on this part
on the ground assumed that the da-
cite lies on top of the latte and
stated that the Lone Star vein was
a large silicified dixie some 60 feet
wide.
1t is now clearly established that
while the dacite is surface rock
on the 250-fot level it appears in
the form of a large dixie which
breaks through the latte, according
to DR.. Elftman.. There has been
considerable movement along this
contact, and it's general appearance
in individual exposures is that oi

DER OLD FOX

At distance of over 500 feet
from the main shaft the east
drift in the Jumbo Copper Noun
tain mine has entered one of the
cross fissures in which the ore is
found and assays as high as 80 per
cent copper have been obtained re-
Gently, with indications that the
present work will lead to the
opening of a large orebody when
development at this depth, $50
feet, has been continued further.
The drift is in territory under the
old Fox lease, from which big
production was made, and opera
tions are again going forward at a
good rate following delays caused
by the breaking of equipment.
A crosscut is being driven from
the drift and good assays in copper
are being obtained from a wide
face, the material being the most

tions in individual blocks will be
considered in determining the roy
atty.
Sub-leases will be granted for a
minimum period of one year and
the granting of leases for longer
periods will depend on conditions
in the territory sought by the
lessee. There will be no limit
to the amount of money any lessee
can make. Mr.. Mcmahon said:
"They will be permitted to make
million if they can."
Present holders of leased blocks
will be given priority under the
new terms and all other applica-
tions on file will be considered ac-
cording to their priority, with due
regard to the responsibility of per-
sons making application.
The Combination and Laguna
shafts have been opened, al
though compressed air will not
be available for several days, as
a new and modern air compressor
will be installed to replace the
present compressor, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mcmahon, is too eX-
pensive to operate. Other shafts
will be opened later.
The matter of determining to
whom leases will be granted will
be acted on Immediately, so les
sees may start operations with the
installation of the new compressor.
A. H. Lawry, superintendent of
the Consolidated Mines company,
made the following statement:

RICH ORE found IN lease

six feet of high-grade ore is ex-
posed on the 4OO-foot level.
If development proves the dis
covery to be a rich orebody OF size
due credit will be given Mr.. Nc
Mahon for solving the problem of
the geology of the territory in
which the ore was found, as the
company for which he is manager
secured the lease about the middle
of December through his efforts
and in less than two months what
may develop into an important
orebody has been opened.
The territory in which the find
was made is above the famous

it will be the policy of the COM
pany to conduct a large amount of
development work which the Con-
sclidated did not feel justified in
undertaking with company funds
and lessees could not under
take because of limited finances.
The new company plans to devel-
op the entire property on a COM
prehensive scale so as to make a
good showing for prospective les
sees, in the meantime extracting
such ore of shipping grade as is
exposed in the work.
The company plans to take over
all activities of the Consolidated,
including surface equipment such
as storehOuses, and to purchase
lumber and all supplies in quanti-
ty, these supplies to be furnished
to the lessees practically at cost.
The lessees will then be charged
for such material and service as they
use. including hosting equipment
and compressed air. Every service
possible, through engineers and in
other ways, will be furnished the
lesseeS to aid them in their Oper-
stions, Mr.. Mcmahon said,
The royalty to be paid by sub
lessees will be from 20 to 25 per
cent of the net returns from ore
shipments after payment of freight
and treatment charges, with excep-
tion of cases where ore assays $40
per ton or more, in which case
80 per cent may be charged This

What is said to be as remarkable
a discovery of ore as was ever
made in the history of Goldfield
was made yesterday in the Cracker
Jack lease on the Red King claim
of the Florence. Manager H. G.
Mcmahon of the Cracker Jack
company would make no statement
yesterday or today regarding the
discovery, this being in line with
his policy of giving no information
for publication until such time as
he has fully determined the value
of ore opened in the course of work
under his direction.
However, a statement from him
regarding the find would only
serve to add details and assay fig
ures as to what is already known,
as the ore shows quantities OF
free gold and is typical of Gold

Rumors of a deal involving the

month and the deal broke a few
days ago with the arrival here of
H G. Mcmahon, manager of the

ally considered one of the most en-
ergetic men now operating in this

Mr.. Mcmahon has taken over,

as the Goldfield Mining company,

The north drift from the east

in highly promising material and
is being continued along the wall
of the vein with encouraging re-
suits, good assays in copper being
obtained Six feet of material of
excellent appearance and heavily
mineralized recently was opened in
a cross vein and it is thought con-
tinuing of the drift may result in
commercial ore being found in the
vein, which at a depth of SIS feet,
at which the drift is being driven,
is 212 feet wide.
Interest is being taken in the
present work in Grandma because,
while operations are not being con-
Quoted on the contact, the drift is
in territory not far above the

good ore has been opened on the
