en- out and the roofs and walls re-sup-
ported by timbers.
The old surface buildings and i'm
provements, if of logs, and originally
well built, may, in part, be restored,
but often it is best to make a bonfire
of them and put up entirely new ones.
The road to the mine will likewise
need repairs.
Danger connected with old workings
is sometimes from there being no
maps or records of the property. A
miner may, in digging, break suddenly
into old workings full of water or gas,
and flood the mine with one or the
other.
Despite these difficulties and disad-
vantages, the resumption and rehab-
ilitating of some of these old aban-
doned mines has been a great success.

Arizona c. C. Co. Widening Out.

The Arizona Commercial Copper
company have decided upon a broader
and more aggressive operation of their
business here, and to provide funds
for extensive development and equip
ment of their properties, and directors
have ordered that 10000 shares of the
capital stock be offered to stockholders
at par-25S per share. 1t is pretty well
assured that the stock Issue will be
over-subscribed, says the g .obe Silver
Belt.
President n. L. Amster, on his re-
turn to Boston, said: "The showing
at the Arizona Commercial property
has demonstrated beyond peradventure
that we have a mine of large dimen-
sions. We are in a position to ship
300 to 400 tons of silicious, sulphide
and iron oxide ore per day, had we the
transportation facilities. Immediately
steps will be taken to get larger out
put to the smelters, and we shall prob
ably build a railroad spur from the
main line to our mines.
We have instructed Superintendent
Sultan to increase the force of men
and rush development work. We
think that in six months time we shall
have opened up the Copper Hill mine
to the S00-foot level, have reached the
CochiSe mine from the third, sixth,
and eighth levels of the Copper Hill,
where the Budget Fault and the Ola
Dominion lode intersect, and a large
ore body should be found: also open up
the Black Hawk to a depth of 600 feet
and drift and crosscut on the third,
fourth and sixth levels. We should
have 1000, 600 tons of ore in sight in
six months, or double our present ton
mage.
Superintendent w. S. Sultan says
that a 15O-horsepower boiler has been
ordered for the Copper Hill; also
small electric plant for lighting the
mine and surface works. AL the lev
els are being connected by wines for
better air. The Black Hawk crosscut
is in 10 feet and the lead is expected
to be cut at 30 feet. The shaft is down

Do it Today.

The time-worn injunction, ''Never
put off till tomorrow what you can do
today" is now generally presented in
this form: do it today That is the
terse advice we want to give you about
that hacking cough or demoralizing
cold with which you have been strug-
CLING for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it today
and let that remedy be DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which has been in use
for over thirty-five years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and its continued use
for few days will cure you complete
ly. No matter how deep seated your
cough. even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect a cure-as it has
dCLv before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble. New

Value of the Ely, Nevada, Mines

Reports from Boston say that the
Nevada Consolidated company has
changed its plans to build a 1O00-ton
plant on its Ely mines, and will now
erect a 1000 ton plant. The report
says: 1t was originally planned by
the old management to build 1000
ton smelter at Ely, but the develop
ment of the property brought such a
timated at 25,OOO,OOO tons, that the
original plans were enlarged upon and
new plans completed for the erection
of 2500-ton plant.
The Guggenheim interests, however,
are planning the development of the
Ely camp through the Nevada Consol-
idated and the Cumberland-Ely prop
critics upon a still larger scale, and
their engineers are working on plans
for the erection of a 40OO-ton plant
which will permit the reduction'of L.
500, 900 tons of ore per annum.
1t is estimated by the Guggenheim
engineers that in the treatment of
l 5000 tons of ore per annum the
Nevada Consolidated company will be
able to show net earnings of 5000, OO0S
at the minimum and 5,000,000S at the
maximum, according to the price of
copper, figuring upon refined copper
Outnut of 6O OOO OOD mounds
There are 100000 shares outstand-
ing of the Nevada Consolidated stock,
which, at 1SS per share, represents a
selling price of 23,4OO, ,O0Os for the
property.
The l50-mile railroad into Ely,
which is owned by the Nevada Consol-
idated company, will not be completed
until well into the summer, and it will
not be possible to start construction
until the railroad is in operation.
