Emmett Walsh, the Florence mine will be thrown open to lease down as far as the 600-foot level, says the Goldfield Daily Tribune. No better piece of mining news has been received in a long time in Goldfield. Tlie resumption of work upon this famous property means that a his crowd of miners will eventually find employment, and the outlook could not be more promising lor a constant stream of the precious metal finding its way into circulation. Receiver Harry B. Clapp is now permitted per-mitted to accept applications for leases upon this old-time producer, but it will probably be several days before the lease forms will he in readiness. However applications ap-plications Kill be received and the ground will be allotted In due course of time 1 nder the terms of the order as signed by Judsre Walsh. Tteceiver Clapu will be permuted to grant leases from surface clown to the fi-M-foot level, while he is also authorized to sell certain personal property of the company. Leases will be allotted in blocks of ground of about '-(v by 200 feet, while a rovally of -5 pr cent will prevail. There is unquestionably a vast amount of promising territory in the Florence workings that should surrender quite handsomely. No doubt mttny miners know of hidden treasures that'wilt vield largely of the yellow metal, and therefore the people of Goldfield need not be surprised sur-prised to hear of the rejuvenation of one of tiie srreate.-t irold mines that was evpr opened in the history of mining in the golden west. |
