Reported to Be Arranging Details of
Nevada Consolidated COmpany's
Mammoth Plant.
CAPACITY TO BE 1000 TONS
DISTRICT WILL HAVE POPULA-
TON OF 10000.

Word comes from Nevada that an
expert smelling engineer, Brakeman,
has JEST gone into Ely for the purpose
Of arranging the details OF cOnstruc-
ton OF the Nevada Consolidated COM
psny's big smelling works. The plant,
st is said, is to consist Of four separate
and distinct units or sections, each
capable Of treating 1000 tons of ore
every twenty-four hours or total of
1000 tons per days. The furnaces, it is
said, are to be the cOunterparts of
those which Mr.. BiddIeman has opera
ted for many years in Cuba and which
have given eminent satisfaction. The
engineer does not claim, however, that
It will be possible TO maintain the
maximum tonnage mentioned with the
foCr-unit plant, as it has been his ex-
perience in smelling that an average
of only one-haIf of the number of fur
naces installed can be kept in regular
commission. On that basis, the new
plant viii be able to handle approx
nately 1000 tons Of ore-eyer day in
the year.
To operate a plant of 1000 tons regu-
larry will require, according to Mr.. Bid
dleman, about 1000 men at mines and
smelter and this. it is figured, will
mean the support of a population of
dI lScSL 1UsUtu pGISOllS III llStll. bul
the operations of the other mines and
smelters of the camp are counted upon,
during the next couple of years, to
more than equal what the Nevada
Consolidated will do, and the argument
is advanced that the district should,
inside of two years, boast a popula-
ton of more than 10000.
A broad gauge railroad is being
built from Wells, on the line of the
Central Pacific railway, and il has
been graded a distance of over sixty
miles, and track laid over most of the
grade. and it is believed that the en-
CINE viii foot its horn in Ely by next
July.
It is not known where the railroad
will have its depot, and there is much
speculation in Ely about that subject.
Some Of the mines are as much as nine
miles away, and the secret as to the
terminus repOses in the directors of the
railroad company, and the business
men of Ely are naturally very much
exercised about it.
The prices of houses and lots main
tain a very high speculative value.
The accommodations are about as
fair as can be expected considering
the situation Of the camp, and prices
prOpOrtionateIy reasonable. The dis
lance from Eureka to Ely is about
ninety miles and made by stage. At
present it is a very, very rough trip:
but the roads viii soon be in a good
condition for travel, when better ser
vice will be given The stages are
now being almost mOnopOlized by trav-
cling men and their sample cases and
goods.

ECHOES OF MONTANA DEAL.
Old Men Fought and Young Heads
Strengthened Them Out.

The copper settlement means much
for the copper world, much for Mon
tana, much for the great copper COM
panies long engaged in litigation and
war, and much for the business situa-
ton, says the Wall Street Journal
A notable feature of the settlement is
the fact that it is effected by new men,
young men. The older heads quarrelled,
and fought, and would not give m. The
younger men, like Ryan and Cole, were
able to do what they failed to accom-
plish. The settlement converts liabili-
ties of litigation into assets of peace,
and gives to the Montana mines as
sured pre-eminence in the copper mar
kets of the world.
Credit for this business settlement
of the most complicated problems. in
volving the political life Of Montana

RichfeId, Feb. $50. Wiser, until q
couple Of months ago superintendent of
the Annie Laurie mill. has returned
from q trip to Nevada, where he has
become interested. He reports every
thing active all over the southern part
of the state and great expectations are
prevailing. The development Of the
immense belt OF copper country ex-
tending from the southern part of Utah
and northern part of Arizona across
the state of Nevada is being done with
great activity. He also displayed sam

Peter and H. ]. Gottfredson, who are
down from Gold Mountain, report that
the development Of the Richfeld Min
ing & Milling company's property is
steadily increasing in interest. The
formation recently encountered in the
lower tunnel is gradually developing
into a Well-defned ledge matter, which
is we'll mineTaIized. They brought
some samples down with them to be
assayed, but as yet no returns have
been received. Nothing was expected
when this site was selected for the tun-
rel until the vein exposed in the upper
workings had been encountered. This
new ledge furnishes almost conclusive
evidence OF q solid, compact mineral
zone not far ahead. Work viii be con-
tinued on the property for some time
as they are very anxious to find out
what this new strike viii develop into.
William Johnston was down from
the Copper Butte property a day or

BIG DEAL TIED UP.
"IndIan Johnnie" Wants Half OF the
Clifford Property In Nevada.

A quarter of a million dollar deal
involving the sale of the Clifford mine
and townsite at Clifford, forty-f1ve
miles from Tonopah. to Pittsburg peo-
ME. has been tied up by a suit entered
i'm the Nye county district court by
Indian Johnnie Peavine, a Shoshone,
who claims that he ard his squaw,
Minnie, are entitled to a half interest
in the big property.
Indian Johnnie exhibits a note given
by the Cliffords for 1856. which, he
saws. was given to him under the pre-
tense that it was a deed, emitting him
and his squaw to their respective quar-
fer interests. The suit is highly inter-
esting and will occasion a big fight in
the court.

The strength in Montana is purely
due to New York and Philadelphia buy

here and it is bound to take it lower

North Star is a gamble; the old ap-

States courts at this writing, and a de-
cision may be handed down toward the

Red Top Shipping Heavily.
After a declaration OF a scent dfvi-
Gend, it was expected that Red Top
would sell lower. but it is a, stock that
one should not go short of, as their
shipments are increasing daily, averag-
ing about forty tons, which has Melted
the company about $1,000 daily. 1t is
estimated that the February output of
ore will be close to $175.000- 1t is COM
ing from the so, 100 and 160-foot levels,
averaging $3.50 per ton, and they are
now making arrangements 10 Increase

stalled and it is not to be discounted
that the second quarterly dividend will
be 10 cents. Before that time there can
be little doubt that the stock will sell
up to S.
The rise IN il mbo is due to the con-
tinued rumors of consolidating this with
the Red Top. While both of them are
controlled by practically the same peo-
pie, it Is Just possible that such thing
may be done. and will greatly increase
the price of both of these companies.
BuIIfrog Stocks Weak.
All Of the BulifrOg stocks are show
ing extreme weakness, excepting Den
yer, which holds its own, because Of the
large buying Olders from the Brock
syndicate peopIs. They are still after
it, and there is little stock here. 1t
may possibly go a few points lower. but
I expect it TO be $3.50 within the next
month. It has wonderful property
and is opening up some large ore
bodies. This makes Eclipse the best
of the Bulldogs at today's price, 90
cents. The latter stock jumped from 40
cents to- 50 cents when news that the
suit they had with the Golden Sceptre
crowd mad been settled, the Eclipse
people taking three acres, and the Scep-
tire two, of the disputed ground. The
stock went up so fast slump was to be
expected, and cannot too strongly ad-
wise the immediate purchase of 1t, as It
looks like a speciality.

New Mil Is Busy.

The kiECaid mill, situated at the base
Of the Columbia mountain, started OPP
erationS a week ago, and is now taking
ore from the Sandstone and Kendall
properties, and is being worked to its
fullest capacity, as are all the other
mills in the outlying districts.
The ore shipments, including the 10th,
are as follows: Tonopah, 1920 tons;
Montana, 100 tons; Tonopah Extension,
500 tons; Belmont, 315 tons; Midway, S.
tons; Goldfield district, 2S5 tons; and
Manhattan, 40 tons, which shows a
great Improvement.
Belmont has, and is still being bought
in large blocks by eastern syndicates.
The annual meeting takes place in Phil
adelphia about Feb. %. at which time
they viii issue a statement. This is al
ready discounted as being excellent. It
was expected tFat a dividend would be
declared then. but information from
some Of the insiders, leads me TO think
it will be delayed one or two months.
While it is not known approximately
the state of the treasury, it is estfmated
at over 100000, and the first dividend
will probably be % cents.
Consolidation Is Planned.
Tonopah Extension has had a move.
which we have long been looking for.
Schwab is sending out through Pitts
burg large buying orders, and there Is
very little stock now afloat. There
seems to be move on foot to throw
into one large consolidation the TOnO-
pah Extension Golden Anchor, Dia-
mOndf1eld and Gibraltar of BullfrOg,
developments OF which we are now
awaiting. ExteT sion continues to be
the second largest shipper of the Tono-
rah district.
The excitement, caused by the vari-
Gus strikes throughout Nevada, is
causing a great influx of people, and the
railroad belonging to the Tonopah com
pany is heavily oVertaxed, making its
income something to be marveled at.
The next quarterly dividend may be
increased to 50 cents, although the
Brock crowd are extremely cOnserva-
tive and may hold off until the follow
ing quarter
West End is q property that I have
sDoken of n every letter for the past
three months. The big veins Of ex-
+TemeIy rich ore are being opened up,
and it will be the second or third best
shipper from that district in a short
time. a new shaft, just west Of the
present one. and connecting the two,
will be started shortly.
Midway is looking better than ever,
and rich ore is being extracted and
sacked for shipment. The next quarter
~ dividend will remain the same, 5
