which Is fairly comparable with Tono-
pah's leasing period.
PRODUCTION IN COMPARISON.
Now, as to the production: 1t Is
claimed by the Goldfield newspapers
that the total production of that camp
during the first leasing period was 49,
900 600, and II Is conceded that this es-
innate Ia approximately correct. Tono-
pah, during a period of about q month
shorter, produced s4,J00000, as shown
by the smelter returns, or 100000 more
than Goldfield.
At this point II will be interesting
and instructive to compare the meth
DDS by which these results were Sc
cured.
At Tonopah only two machine hoists
were used. and the longest time either
was In service was about five months.
The O'Meara-Lynch company had n
~ h. p. gasoline hoist, and Brougher
Bros. used donkey steam engine OF
about the same power. Four leases
used whims. viz: The leases OF Cutting
& Brown Golden & Sinclair, the Tus-
carora boys, and the Nevada City boys.
All the other leasers used the ordinary
windlass.
At Goldfield, most of the leases were
operated by old Tonopah leasers, whose
experience enabled them to take add
vantage OF conditions and avoid the
errors which had rendered their first
efforts at Tonopah Intellectual More
over, they had supplies practically at
had, so that they got to work with
cut delay, and, most important factor
Of all. before midsummer six of the
leases were being operated with ma
chine hoists, the smallest of which
was OF greater power than the largest
that was used at Tonopah.
WHAT SENATOR oDDIE SAYS.
Senator Oddie, who had supervision
OF the Tonopah leases. and who Is
thoroughly familiar with conditions at
Goldied. from the fact that he has
operated leases there from the first,
asserts that If the Tonopah leases had

at the head Of tho gold-producing
camps OF America, So much for Tono-
pahs great daughter,
Since the Tonopah leases expired, five
years ago the 3lst of this month, the
principal companies have energetical-
ly and systematically developed their
properties. and il IL safe to say that
there Is now blocked out In the mines
of Tonopah n tonnage OF hlgh-grade
ore which would enable the camp to
produce $40 000,0 900 q year, II II were MT
for the fact that the slliclfcd character
or the ore renders it impossible for tho
smclters TO handle more than about
5000 tons week. The principal COM
paues, notably the Tonopah company,
the Belmont and the Northumberland
have provided or are providing means
to reduce their own ores on the ground,
and as soon as their mills are IN COM
mission, Tonopah win take her proper
place among the great bullion roduc-
ing camps OF the world.

Jim Butler made his geat discovery
i Tonopah In May, 1900. He adopted

the mill will be running up to its full
capacity This company also has a
2O-stamp mill IN operation at Tonopah
When both mills get into full swing,
II Is calculated that the Tonopah COM
pany' which Is now paying dividends
at the rate OF 81 100000 year. will
Increase It's distribution Of profits TO

this is completed some time next
spring, the Montana ought TO re-enter

terly distribution OF at least 5000, 900.
The Midway. which has one Of the
biggest and richest lodges IN tho camp
ments, win soon erect mill, which
VIII put that mine in the s1,O00,00O-n-
year class.
The T0nopah Extension company has
also announced It's intention Of erect
Ing l00-stamp mill in the near future,
and since this mine has one OF the
largest bodies Of hgh-grade ore ever
opened up In the world, It ought to
pay at least $25OOOoO year in dlvl-
dcnds
The Jim Butler is another great
mine. and that company viii soon erect
a mill and enter the diyidend-paylng
class.
DUNHAM AS A PROPHET
IN conclusion, the writer feels justl-
fed in making the prediction, based on
the most careful personal investigation
and observation for a period Of more
than four years, backed by the opin-
ions of the hest-informed and most
conservative mining men in Tonopah.
that when the mills now in course OF
construction and contemplated are IN
operation, the mines of Tonopah will
produce at least S30000000 a year and
distribute fully one-third OF this inn
mense sum in dividends. and that the
ore reserves now practically blocked
out IN the mines will enable them 10
maintain this splendid production fer
a long tgrm Of years.

WHITTIER, May 21.-This city has
been chosen as the site for the state
pathological station. after careful de-
liberation of the committee named to
select sites for the state experimental
and pathological stations.
The news was delivered this morning
to the local committee by Professor R.
e. Smith, plant pathologist of the Uni
versity of California, who will have
general supervision of both stations
At the commission meeting in Oak
land last Saturday, Professor e. ].
WickSon made recommendations which
met the approval of the entire body,
and the governor affixed his indorse-
ment.
Final action was taken, in accord
ance with Professor Wickson's recon-
mendations, which stipulate that the
pathological station be situated in
Whittier, on grounds offered for the
purpose, while the experimental sta
tion go to Riverside, that city having
provided twenty-acre tract where ex-
periments in horticulture and agricul-
ture might be carried out.
Deeds to the property given by Whit
tier are now being transferred. and at
the earliest possible date the work of
construction of the building will be
commenced.
Plans for the structure are not fully
completed, but it will probably be a
two-story frame building, commodious
and adapted to the needs of a patho-
logical library. A limited amount of
ground will be reserved for expert
mental purposes. but the object will
be primarily to give personal attention
to the needs of ranchers.
