Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1903-07-25

CURED to the organizers of the big
mining companies of the country
who thought that 100, 600 shares at
a par value of $50 was equivalent to
100000 shares at 81 par.
For the sake of argument we will
suppose that the original Tonopah
Mining company had been capitalized
at 100, 600 shares at 81 par value and
that all Of the stock was sold at par.
A certain amount of development
could be accomplished and a certain
amount Of ore placed on the dump or
blocked out. Now what? Remem-
Der there is no more money in the
treasury, so that il the stockholders
are ever to receive any dividends re-
duction works must be erected or
the ore sold. But there is no money in
the treasury to buy or erect reduc-
ton works.
Why not ship the ore and turn that
into money! because, even il the
company had money to pay the ex-
penses of shipping, which it would
not have, it would be bad business to
pay S6O per ton for freight and treat
ment when with reduction works on
the ground it might be treated for
perhaps one tenth that amount.
The alternatives would then pre-
sent themselves, assessments or
mortgages; and does our journalistic
sage, whose advice is like a quack 5
medicine, harmful but cheap, think
that either one Of these would re.
dound TO the credit Of the camp or
inspire investors with confidence?
But, he may again argue, why
not place the par value of the stock
at so, $20 or so and put it on the
market at say s. per share? That
would give the company enough
money TO operate on until the divi-
dend period would arrive. The
| reason we use that as a possible ar
gument is because it is the stereo-
typed one of the unsophisticated.
II the editor of the Carson News
wants to find out how that would
work let him organize mining com
pany on those lines. How many IN
vestors does he suppose he could in
terest, given a mine with undoubted
values, in stock at S. per share while
other companies with as good mines
were offering stock at 20 or 80 cents
or $l2
The stock which remains unsold is
in the nature of a sinking fund. 1t
eats nothil e; it spends nothing. but
it is there 10 sell if necessary, and if
not necessary, it is always the prop
erty Of the stockholders pro rata.
The leading mining companies of
Tonopah are not capitalized too
highly, but we admit the stock Is
depressed. Some of that stock is
selling on the street for from 81 to So
per share. 1t real value with the
properties behind it should be from
$40 to $50 per share, and we predict
it will be held at that before long.
We say held advisedly, being well
aware of the influences at work to
depress the stock, for when the big
companies have bought up all the
stock, which they are now doing
through agents, there will be a
dparth OF it on the exchanges
and none on the curb. We there
fore advise holders of these stocks
not to sell at present prices.

They Want Work Witho
Disturbance.

An unfortunate result of the
present strike is the departure from
this state of many miners who
have become more or less identi-
fed with the communities in
which they have dwelt. These
men are not usually the agitators
or extremists. They are rather
the quiet, peaceable, orderly min-
ers, who want work regularly and
without disturbance. Their de-
parture is a loss to the state, and
their places cannot be taken by
new importations from other
states. Fortunately it seldom hap
pens that any person who has
become accustomed to life in Col
orado can remain satisfied any,
where else. The miners now leav-
ing the state may think they are
disgusted with Colorado and that
they can do better somewhere
else, but it will not be long before
the great majority of them will be
back again amid the familiar
mountain peaks and delving as OF
old for the elucive treasures of the
mines. es.-Pueblo Chieftian.

Observation-Disclosures

men who make prosperity, build up
and maintain towns and cities
have this portion of the community
any rights worthy of respect and
consideration? Or are these inter-
ests subordinate and secondary to
the whims of indolent agitators and
characters of that ilk? Isn't it
about time for the real men of the
community to think over these
matters and resolve upon some
course? Either assert and main
tain their rights, or abandon what
they have, their homes and all, and
turn the town over to these self
constituted dictators.-Telluride

working on a blacklisted mine was
held up, robbed and beaten almost
to death, and finally shot while he
was lying PROSTATE and uncon-
scious. This is the record of the
past two weeks at Cripple Creek,
and the record shows that the men
responsible for causeless strike
are endeavoring to inaugurate a
reign of terror for the purpose of
intimidating the majority even of
the union men, who acknowledge
that they had no grievance and
with whom the strike is known to
be unpopular. The men who are
doing this work are appealing to
force because they have no other
argument that carries weight.
They belong to the same class that
threw men into the fumes for tim
bers in the Occur d'Alene's and
sent them to the bottom crushed
and shapeless masses of human
flesh because they dared exercise
the rights of American citizens.
They are the same class of men that
murdered Manager Collins at Tel
luride and tried to murder twenty
five or thirty men at the Sun and
Moon mine at Idaho Springs.
Every one of these acts was that of
a coward. Collins was assassi-
mated by sneak who dared not
face him in the open. The man so
villainously treated at the Inde-
pendence was unable to defend
himself. The whole series of bruit-
alities is serious blot upon the re-
cord of American labor-Ores and
Metals.

Itis some satisfaction to know
that Judge Overs, the Leadville
socialist, will not get a chance to
try the citizens of Idaho Springs,
who joined together a short time
ago and made a lot of union agi-
tators walk the plank, and for
that act are charged with conspir-
acy. Their cases have all been
postponed until December, when
they will come before an honest
and unprejudiced court, Judge

everything will be automatic, of
course, ensuring the greatest econ

double and independent, one from
the other. The best pros esses
known in modern, scientific milling
will be utilized, and he proposes to
effect the greatest saving possible.
In addition to the regular concen-
tration portions of the mill, it is
probable that preparations for ad-
ding the cyanide process will be
made, although Mr.. Renshaw is
not altogether convinced that that
process is best adapted to the Gem
ores. This, of course, will be
thoroughly investigated before any
steps are made in installing
plant. Mr.. Renshaw has made a
thorough and practical study of
concentration in all its phases and
therefore knows what he can do in
that line. He has also for some
time been treating large quantities
OF ore as it comes out of the New
house workings, 1900 feet in depth
from the surface, and therefore
knows the character and values of
the stuff that he will have to deal
with. That he has at length de-

Heads of Families Denied
the Right to Work.

All classes of business in Tellu-
ride is paralyzed. Thrifty merch-
ants and business men are crippled
and threatened with fatal reverses;
property has deprecated in value;
heads of families are denied the
right to work that they may pro-
vide for those dependent upon them
ranchmen, stock growers, truck
gardeners, fruit men-every class
in the country--is suffering from
these conditions. Contemplate, if
you can, the damage, loss and suf-
fering, that is certain to result from
this situation. Then size up the
crowd that so arrogantly parade
the streets of Telluride and boast
that their influence and power pre-
cipitated this paralysis, and will
continue to paralyze business and
industry at their pleasure. Half
a dozen anarchistic agitators are
responsible; and look at them; think
of whole community being tied
up, its commercial and industrial
life hanging in the balance, sub
iect to the whim of such characters!

clded to erect so large and costly
works is conclusive evidence that
sufficient values exist there to
warrant extensive mining is be-
yond preadventure.
This is the most important step
made by Idaho Spriags in its his
tory. 1t is a practical and bust
ness demonstration that we not
only have mines, but that their
values go down deep into the
earth and that these values are
sufficient to warrant large opera
tions. This one enterprise ex-
plodes into thin air the ammuni-
tion of the pessimists who for
years have claimed that this was a
district of cash veins which disap-
peared with depth, and that the
great tunnel enterprises that far
seeing men have inaugurated in
this district meant ultimate ruin
instead of prosperity.
The new Gem mill is but the
tlrst that will be erected at the
mouth of the bore, for the other
companies properties located along
its line will also need their own
processes to obtain the most econ
omical results.

who is the producer of wealth? 1t
seems to us that the leaders re-
ferred to have missed their guess.
1t strikes us that the man who
risks his time, thought, money
everything, is entitled to some
thing more than the average labor
leader is inclined to allow him.

Goes to DeadWOOd for the Latest Wrinkles,

w. Z. Renshaw departed for
Deadwood, S. D., this week,
where he will make a thorough
examination of the great Home
stake mine mills and the different
processes of handling vast quanti-
ties of ores in the most economi-
cal manner. His object, of course
is to get the necessary pointers to
assist him in putting up the most
complete and largest concentration
in Northern Colorado. He has
been quietly forming plans for
some time for this mill, and he has
kept his purpose from the public
up to last week, when hewas ready
for work. He was not quite ready
then to give up his secret, but the
Siftings got wind of something
out of the ordinary being in con-
temptation, and as usual was the
first in the field with the news.
Last Saturday, Mr.. Renshaw, III
speaking of the proposed mill,
stated that the site would be at
the foot of the big dump, at a
point where the ore coming from
the mine would be dumped from
the train into the mill chutes, thus
securing perfect gravitation. And

the Pittsburg Gazette
From 1890 to 1900 the internal com
merce Of the United States increased
fully 80 per cent, while the increase
in the transportation facilities was
BUT a fraction Of that. The total an.
nual internal commerce of tho United
states at present is not less than $50
900, 900. coo in value. a COMPARISON
of this with what it vas at the con-
mencement of the railroad era in 1860
shows a growth from : 1000, COO, 0a0.
9 This ten-fold increase in the value OF
the traffic has been accompanied by
an incraese in the railroad mileage
from about 1900 to 200.0 The eff
cheney of the railroads for handling
traffic has been largely increased by
more spacious cars and larger locomo-
tives.
In 1850 the internal commerce Of tine
country was handled only IN "a small
pa t over the railroads. the water lines
at that time being the favorite means
OF transportation. Statistics Of the Off
cials TODAY conclude titat the relative
growth Of commerce during that pc
riod don't show the additional tax inn

roads were struggling with conditions
that put out Of the question extensive

too short and the demand came before
they were ready to meet it.
