THE POLICY OF GERMANY.
andicated by Communication to .
Vienna Paper.

Vienna, Jan. 10.-The Neue Freie
Presse, in what is obviously an Officials
ly inspired communication, probably
from the German embassy, indicates
the policy which Germany will adopt
in the Moroccan conference at AL
geciras. It declares that war is inn
possible even should the conference
break up abruptly, but says in that
event the relations between France
and Germany will be strained. Ger
many, it is pointed out, will stand un-
conditionally upon the basis of the
Madrid convention of 1880 and will not
intervene even should France attack
Morocco. II at the conference the
French delegates demand more than
they could obtain on the basis of the
Madrid convention and by the volun-
tary concessions of the signatory pow
ers, the delimitation of the several
spheres of interest may have to be
proposed, and, the communication
says, it is not inconceivable that the
conference will adopt such a course.
If the conference should be without
result, it is added, Germany will con-
tinue to negotiate direct with the sui

THE WORST Is OVER.
General Uprising in Russia impossible
s4s Before Spring.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 10-The success
which thus far has attended the cam.
paign against the violent revolution
lists has plainly encouraged the belief
that the worst is over for the winter
except in the Baltic provinces, the
Caucasus and the Bon Regio, where
the prevailing anarchy is likely to con
tinue indefinitely. Some semblance
of order Is being gradually restored to
the empire. The socialists and revo.
lutionists stoutly maintain that the
present lull is only a. truce over the
holidays and from mysterious hiding
places the leaders continue issuing or
ders to refuse all compromise with i'm,
perialism, to boycott the national as
sembly and to prepare for a great
armed insurrection. The government,
however, processes confidence that the
revolutionists will not quickly recover
the loss Of strength and prestige which
they have suffered. Disorders @on
small scale and acts of terrorism are
expected to continue and something in
the nature of general demonstration
Is anticipated Jan. %, but great up
rising In the immediate future Is re-
garded in government circles as i'm
possible. The next real crisis is not
expected until the national assembly
meets or the spring sets the peasants
in motion.
The constitutional Democrats are
holding a convention at Terjioki, Fin
land, to discuss their future plans, and
representatives of the Law and Order
party, which claims to have over 20o,-
600 members, met In St. Petersburg.
This party favors a broad regime of
freedom based on the participation of

ernment.

Acknowledgment.

Following the recent strike in the
Nevada-Alpine at Lone Mountain, which
bids fair to be of greater Importance
than any discovery made in that won
derful property, comes the news of
fresh disclosures at the Anaconda To-
nopah. This property lies near Stone
Cabin, fifteen miles from Tonopah and
next to the Alpine has received more
attention than any mine in the district.
1t is held almost entirely in the East
and those closest in touch with its de-
velopment do not hesitate to express
the opinion that before another year it
will enter the shipping list. Several
cars of ore are on the dump, but the
management do not wish to begin ship
ping until the physical condition of the
mine will justify that they continue.
In the drift from the 100 level, fine
body Of lead carbonates and galena has
been opened up. 1t is several feet wide
and although too early to say how i'm
portant it is, the management is feeling
good and simply says the mine is look
ing very promising. The ore carries
good copper values and about so ounces
silver and small values in gold. The
samples on exhibition should run at
least 70 per cent lead which is the
character Of ore in strong demand for
Auxing purposes. A very low freight
rate is made on this class of ore and as
it is treated for nothing by the smelters,
there should be handsome margin OF
profit to the company. Although es-
sentially sllver-lead district, we ex.
pect that many Of the great mines Of
Nevada will be discovered at Lone
Mountain.

West End Consolidation.

The consolidation of the West End,
Ohio and Mcnamara companies, has
virtually been accomplished. There
are many details yet to be arranged but
the consolidation is sure go. The
West End Consolidated Mining Company
has just been Incorporated to absorb
the three old companies. 1t is capi-
talized at 100000 shares of par
value of $1.00. Of this |, 200, 900 shares
go to the stockholders of the West End,
500, 900 shares will go to the Ohio and
Mcnamara, though in what proportion
will be decided by committee from
the three companies. This committee
is now at work and will report to the
directors of the new company at meet
ing to be held in Tonopah in the near
future and the remaining 500, 900 shares
will be retained in the treasury. The
West End mine looks fine and another
shipment of full carload of ore was
made to the Mountain Copper Company
at Martinez, CAL, yesterday for reduc-
ton.

Bonanza Mountain.

Local interests continue to receive
the most encouraging reports from the
Bonanza mountain property of Bullfrog,
an organization of claims on the famous
Bonanza mountain, first put into exist
ence by William Griifiths. 1t is report
ed that shaft No. 2 is in feet of gold
ore that runs $168 to the ton, and as in
all lodges, on the Bonanza mountain,
this ledge shows marked improvement
with depth. There are few mountains
in Nevada that contain more valuable
mining properties than Bonanza. Upon
it are located the famous Denver,
Eclipse, Tramp, Gibraltar, and among
others, the property above mentioned.
The present management is working
four shafts, the deepest being 200 feet.
The results of development work are in
exact keeping with the generous re-
turns of the average Bullfrog company.
\ Liberty Sale.
The Callington group at Liberty will
probably change hands in few days.
The property which is owned by Albert

week.
L. G. Grey of Wheeling, West Vir-

The Blair Mines Sale.

The good views was flashed over the
wires from M. l.. Effinger in New York
to DR.. E. J. Bowes, in Tonopah, Tues
day, that the sale of the Drinkwater
mines, at Silver Peak, owned by the
Blair estate, had been consummated.
In speaking of the transaction DR..
Bowes said "About year ago bond
on this property was taken by Effinger
and myself. After an exhaustive ex-
animation and sampling by James Free
burn, very able mining engineer, the
property was submitted to Finn and
Oliver of Pittsburg. These gentlemen
had the property examined by their
own engineer, Phillip N. Moore, of St.
Louis, Missouri, and our engineers re-
port being verified, negotiations were
entered into which resulted in the sale
of the property.

MINING NEWS FROM MANY SECTIONS
TOnOpah's New Five-StOry Ore
Sampler Completed.

The Tonopah Sampling and Ore Pur-
chasing Company has about completed
it's colossal works in the northern su-
burbs of town and will be ready for
business in a short time. This is one of
the largest and most substantial works
for the reduction and sampling of ores
in the state, and is certainly credit to
the town. The breaking of ground for
the erection of the buildings commenced
on the 22d of last January and the work
was pushed to completion very rapidly.
The main building is a structure of
five stories and a two-story basement,
96x32 and 76 feet high, the easements
extending to the depth of 20 feet below
the surface. One hundred and eighty
thousand feet of lumber were used in
its construction, the largest timbers
used being 14x14, and the whole is COW
cred with corrugated iron.
The latest improved methods for the
expeditions handling of the ores has
been adopted. In the main building
there are eight storage and two receiv-
ing bins of capacity of 100 tons each,
and these are connected with three
bucket elevators for the carrying of
ores to the top story, whence it de-
scends by gravity through the various
chambers and grinders and is distributed
through chutes to the various recepacles,

the developed vein. The 800-foot level
was driven both east and west, and con-
siderable prosecuting was also done
upon this level. The No. / east winze

prosecuted vigorously as soon as the
900-foot level has progressed sufficiently
far to provide ventilation. The 900
foot level was driven north and east
from the shaft, but has not progressed
far enough as yet to intersect the vein.

1t is the intention during the coming
year to open the lower levels as rapidly
as the level next above indicates proper
conditions, also to develop the ground
lying to the north of the present vein
system for additional veins, which work
will be greatly expedited by our in
creased hosting facilities,
There has been very gratifying in
crease in the ore reserves during the
past year, both as to the quantity Of
ore exposed and value per ton, bringing
your property into the first rank of pro-
ducers, with an excellent future. There
is, in addition to the deeper work upon
the vein system opened, large amount
Of territory which with the larger shaft
and improved hosting machinery can
be developed, and plans for this i'm
portant work are being formulated.
Increased shipments and operation will
necessitate enlarging the ore house and
some small additional buildings which
will be built as needs demand.
New contracts with the smelters for
an increased tonnage including higher
grade ores, did not go into effect until
( Feb. 1st, 1906, the result of which is
shown in the tonnage in transit at the
close of the fiscal year and its higher
average value per ton.
The inadequacy of the present drill
ing plant has been determined, and a
large new fourteen-drill compressor is
now under way. In view of the large
increased tonnage of ores developed,
your board has now under consideration
the erection of mill for the reduction
of its ores, plans for which are being
prepared.
Your board desires especially to com.
mend the intelligent and efficient ser.
vices of the staff Of officers at Tonopah,
to whom is due great credit for the
present favorable conditions of the
mine and surface improvements.

The report continues: The power
plant has been in operation for the lat
ter part of the year, and electrical
power is now applied in the operation
of the Mizpah shaft and compressor,
and the installation at the other shafts
is in progress. Much delay has been
occasioned by the difficulty in obtaining
delivery of materials, and lately through
the extremely cold weather, which has
hindered all out-of-door work.
The mill which is under construction
should be completed about August LIST.
The unusually low temperature of the
winter months necessitated the post
poning of the construction of the foun-
dations and the consequent delay in
erecting the battery of stamps.

certain plants at Virginia City; when
connected, enabled the treatment of
