In denying their guilt the accused

condition to the war ministry, and assert
openly that they think it was due less to
incompetence than to corruption.

BEDFORD VISITS

L. e. Bedford. superintendent of the
Rullfroe Gold Bar mine came to Gold
field for a short visit last Tuesday and
will return to Rhyolite today. MT.
Bedford made an utomobile trip TO
Round Mountain on Wednesday return
ing to Goldfeld Thursday.
81 found the Round Mountain mine
the most wonderful property l ever visi-
ted" said Mr.. Bedford yesterday. "both
the surface placer and the underground
work Of the mine, particularly the lat
ter. 1 first visited the Hydraulic plant
and found the highest placer values !
have ever seen. running from SIS to $lS
per cubic yard. The entire SURFACE
from the top Of the mountain to the
fiat below is full Of gold and the
Hydraulic plant is in operation the
production should easily reach a million.
We got rich paintings everywhere.
IT spent four and a half hours in the
underground workings of h Round
Mountain mine. Four levels have been
opened up and every foot Is in high
grade milling ore. The ore shoot has
been shown up for $50 feet on all -FOUR
levels and the remarkable thing about
the gold production Is the saving OF 30
per cent Of the values by the mill. When
the new machinery is in operation tnat
capacity of the mill will be increased
TO 60 tons a day and the monthly re-
turns should be about $4,000"
Mr.. Bedford says the weather Is very
warm in the Bullfrog district just now
and he congratulated Goldield residents
on the climatic conditions prevailing

ready on the ground and the rest Is
expected within the next few days. II
no further hitch occurs the dining room

music from a raised platform between
the dining room and hotel lobby, during
meal hours and the cuisine will be Of

Work on the annex to the Hotel Casey
Is being rushed and when completed
will add materially to the appearance

W. are all ready as far as the mill
is concerned said President Knox, who
is here for the start. Everything is in
shape and everything has been tested;
the only thing now lacking being the
power. n that, of course, right now,
is the whole thing. We may be delayed
for several days, and we may be able to
start up at any time"
F. L. Bosqui, the man who designed
the mill Is also on hand, waiting the
time when he can prove up the efficiency
of the mill and. prove the, worth OF his
work. There nave been a great many
experts up on the hill during he past
week inspecting the new mill. and the
universal sentiment expressed is that
the new plant is one of the best, II not
the best mill in the state. When 1t is
in operation it will mean h greatest
of saving to the company, and an i'm
mense Increase in the production Of the
mine. The people of Tonopah are wait
ing the starting up of the plant with
almost as much impatience as are the
people on the hill.

the finds are being kept quiet by the
management. On what IL considered
very good authority comes the informa-
tion that there has been opened up q
three-foot body of milling ore. in which
there is a rich six-inch streak.
The people here are keeping these
matters pretty quiet, and are accredited
with buying in all the stock that they
can get hold of in a quiet way. There
has been no advance in the price Of the
stock; on the contrary, 1t has remained
as dead as the rest of the market. The

Golden, who at present controls the d.
rectorate, has been displaying some Of
the rich ore to his friends in Reno. The

cerned there would seem to be no good
reason why the mine should not contain
ore.

There is considerable work going on
in the vicinity OF Tonopah of which lit
tie is said. The Belmont Extension.
which adjoins the Rescue on the south

and are going to sink to the 600-foot
before prosecuting.
There Is going to be considerable de-
velopment in the Goldreef country eight
or ten miles to the south OF Tonopah.
This was always a favorite part OF the
country with Jim Butler. and 1t is on
the cards that Charley Koilhofer has
made a deal with eastern people. who
are going to open up the district. Ne
gotiations are now on. and rumor has
it that there will be three hoists put up

taken in by the men forming the syndi-
cate. This was a cash proposition, SO
that the money will be turned over to
the Immediately. and there
need be no more worry on the score of
debt.
The Belmont company Is capitalized
for 1000, 900 shares, and has still o
half a million shares in the treasury.
Before the decker was made with the
syndicate, there were in the treasury
7O4,993 shares of stock. and h sale of
1855, 900 being taken from that would
leave SAC, 993. This is a pretty healthy
looking trasury, and when 1t Is taken
into consideration the enormous amount
of ground that is covered by the COM
pany's holdings. and the further fact
that it has a sixty-stamp mill, free OF
incumbrance, the condition of the Bel
mont may be said to be fairly good.
The Belmont is hosting, shipping and
milling, n there is apparently nothing
ahead of it but honey making. 1t paid
it's regular quarterly dividend of 10
cents a share in April, and passed the
July payment, for the quarter ending in
June. No reason was given for this,
and the presumption is that the direc-
tors took the same action that was
taken by those of the Tonopah Mining
company-holding back the dividend to
create a big reserve. At that time the
treasury stock was offered for sale, and
the passing of the dividend might Mt
tingly be put down to an abundance OF
caution on the part Of the directors.

Former Senator William NJ. Stewart
came up from Bullfrog yesterday and
is stopping at the Grimshaw. The sem
ator says business is a little dull in the
southern country just now but the peo-
pie are hopeful.
I'VE have some good mines in the

we will come out all right. Some good
mines are also being opened up in the
Funeral range and that section of the
country is improving rapidly"
The senator is somewhat of a pessi-
mist in regard to the prospects for a
boom his fall, owing to the telegra-
piers strike, which he says is bound to
divert the attention of the people and
interfere for some time with the bust
ness Of selling mining stocks. Still
he says there is no question of the value
of the mining properties in southern
Nevada and while the t~elegraphers'
strike will have a bad effect for some
time, conditions Will right themselves
after awhile.
Senator Stewart is considering the
advisability of opening up an office
