NEW COPPER DISTRICT
ON BALD MOUNTAIN

It is reported that Bald mountain has a
new sensation in the shape of. a big cop
per and gold strike, which was made a
short time ago by John H. Schenck, the
business associate of Nixon e. Wingfield,
on practically virgin ground. Just below
the surface, while digging a ten-foot hole
on some new locations, Schenck broke into
a fourteer-foot ledge which samples 20
per cent copper and S120 a ton in gold.
The location of the new strike is about
a mile distant from the holdings which
Nixon &, Wingfield have been developing
for the last year, and the ground has
never been prospected to any extent be-
fore. Considerable excitement has been
created. in mining circles at Bald noun
tain as a result ofthe immense discovery,
and mineral territory in the immediate
vicinity is eagerly being taken up by the
prospectors of that section.

GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 1.-THE
Daisy Leasing and Mining company
has shipped ten tons of high grade to
the reduction works This is the first
shipment from the lease. This ore was
all taken from the south drift on the
20Ofoot level, where the original pay
shoot was struck several weeks ago.
The ore appears to be getting richer
with every round of shots. A few sam
pies taken from the breast of the drift
ran into the thousands, one return
being $3534.60 a ton. Some of the rock
carries considerable silver, one sample
assaying $174 in gold and SIS in silver
to the ton.
a few days ago a crosscut was
started to the north of the shaft for the
purpose of cutting the vein that was
struck on the 100-foot level Almost
at the start good indications of values
were found and at 20 feet from the
shaft big vein of sulphide ore was
struck. The first sample taken ran
$100.40 a ton. This find is regarded as
of the, greatest Importance, not only to
the leasers but to the entire Diamond
field section. The vein has all the ear
marks of great size and body and
should add immensely to the value of
the lease.
Sinking was Immediately resumed
and the shaft will be dropped to. 800
feet. From that point drifts will be
run to undercut both ore bodies 1t
was the intention to sink winze on
the rich vein on the 200-foot level, but
it was finally decided that the better
plan would be to reach it from below.

MINES PRODUCE
100000 IN SEVEN DAYS

1t is stated the mines and leases of
Goldfield are shipping more ore, worth
more money than ever before in the
history of the camp. The output for
December of last year, when the big
leases were in full swing, admittedly
the biggest month up to that date was
94SS tons of an average value of $3.50 a
ton. The July output was 13,2331s tons
of an average of s125. an increase of
3743h tons. The December production
figures s1,423,350. For July S1,654,1S7.50,
an increase of $230,S36.50 month.
The Nevada-Go Reduction COM
pany sent out five trainloads of ore,
sixty Eight cars, during the past five
days containing 100000 in gold; the
Mohawk and Combination mines ship
ped twenty-three cars worth 100000.
The production of the mines and leases
for the past seven days is valued at
100000. 1t consisted of 1852 tons.

company and several others, whose reve-
nue. is derived largely from share hold
ings in mines and works which are being
operated by regularly organized COM
panies.
During the seven months of this year
six of these securities holding corporations
have declared dividends of 81, 712, $50 max
ing a total of SCI, 61y since organiza-
ton on an issued capitalization of $242,-
SAT 900. The Amalgamated Copper COM
pany which has controlling interest in
the Boston & Montana, Anaconda and
other mines, whose dividends are included
in the total for operating properties given
above, have declared S9201,27 this year,
and is now earning per cent per anuum.

capitalization of SIS, 900 900, increased in
1901 to $155, 100000, of which S153, SS7, 800 is
now outstanding, Amalgamated has de-
clared total dividends of s52,61s5O4. This
Is the largest mine securities holding cor
poration in the world.
Aside from the dividends declared by the
metal mines and works and the securities
holding corporations, we learn that sub
stantial profits and being distributed by
metal selling companies, as a result of the
continued high prices for silver, copper,
lead and zinc. The largest metal selling
agency in the United States is the United,
incorporated III lJOvi Will ID Gdpl-
talizaton of 100000 which is largely
controlled by people affiliated with the
Amalgamated Copper company. For the
seven months this year the United Metals
Selling company has declared a dividend
of 71a per cent of $1,S75,OOO, making total
to date of s4,S75, 900, or 9715 per cent on the
share capital.
If it were possible to compile the enor-
nous profits that are periodically distrib-
uted by the many private and close cor
porations which are directly interested in
the mineral industry, the fact would be
emphasized that fabulous wealth is be-
ing created by American mines and metal
lurgical works. To report annually an
output of miners and metals of the large
total value of nearly $1,000 10000, is rec
ord of which the investors in the indus
try may well feel proud. Capitalists are
not alone in sharing in the vast profits
earned by the mining industry, for labor
also is being greatly benefited by higher
wages generally. Manufacturers of ma
chinery and dealers in mine and works
supplies, are earning a substantial liveli-
hood by catering to the mineral industry
Last, but not least, are the railroad and
other transportation corporations, which
are fattening their purse on the receipts
from the enromus freight carried for the
mineral industry. In short, this countrys
should be credited largely to
the expansion in our mining and metal
lurgical industries.

high grade that have been the wonder of
all who have had the privilege of see
ing them The visitors were entertained
at dinner in the apartments of Mr.. Wing

Baruch declined to express any opinion
in. regard to the Consolidated properties
In fact he said he had not been in Gold
field long enough to form any opinion.
1--WE came out here to see Senator
Nixon and Mr.. Wingfield," he said, and
expect to be here several days. we nave
looked over some of the consolidated
properties and may visit more II we can
keep our feet on the ground. My prin-
cipal impression of Goldfeld so far has
been that a man has to put lead on his
feet to keep from going up i'll the air.
You have a fine country, fine people and

"The enormous gold production of this
district, particularly now, at time when
the money market is tight all over the

II wish to say that whatever interests
I or my associates have, or may have
in the Consolidated, are and Will be
identical with those of Senator Nixon

GOLD PR0SPECTOR GOES
INSANE ON THE DESERT
Joseph AuIbert Now Raving Maniac
in the Asylum at Highland.
Found Crawling for
Water

The Crackerjack News states that
Sheriff Clark of Inyo county came south
last Sunday with a prospector named
Joseph Aulbert who has been committed
to the asylum at Highland.
Aulbert is a raving maniac, the result
of thirst and the thousands of other suf-
ferings which accompany one on the
dread, hot deserts of Nevada and Califor-
mia. Physicians say there is chance
for the unfortunate fellows recovery, so
far as reason is concerned, but his health
is completely undermined.
Three weeks ago he was found wan
dering sixteen miles from Greenwater,
practically in the heart of Death valley.
The unfortunate man was crawling on his
hands and knees. His tongue, a swollen
black mass of flesh, protruded from his
mouth His finger tips were worn to the
bone as a result of his maddened search
for water. How long he had been in this
condition no one knows.
Aulbert was taken to Greenwater and
from there conveyed to a hospital at Bish-
Cd. He improved at first, but last Friday
he took a change for the worse, and it
was found necessary to order him COM
mitted to the asylum.
In one of his rational moments Aulbert
started to tell how he had discovered
rich gold deposit in Death valley, and how
his supply of water became exhausted,
and in his efforts to find supply he was
lest. Later his mind failed him.

SHIPMENTS OF ORE
FROM THE MOHAWK MINE
Twenty-ohe Carloads Sent out in a
Week-combination Mine
Grows In Ore
Value


Special to The Herald.
GOLDFIELD, Nevada, Aug. 1.-THE
Mohawk shipped twenty-ore cars of
ore during the last week, two of which
were high grade. The hes West shipment
consisted OF eleven cars that were sent
out in one train in the early part of the
week In this train were also two cars of
high grade from the Combination mine,
making a total shipment by rail from the
Consolidated properties of twenty three
cars of ore, aggregating in value a little
over $4,000.
The various properties of the Cons oil
dated company are increasing in value
steadily. The extraordinary rich body of
ore fifteen feet wide uncovered on the
45O-foot level of the Mohawk several weeks
ago is widening, and the high grade
streaks are increasing in size as the work
of exploiting the big vein progresses, ex-
ceeding the most extravagant predictions
and hopes of the management.
Combination Grows Better
The great ore bodies in the Combination
are also proving even bigger and richer
than has been Claimed for them. The Red
Top is meeting all expectations of it's
champions and promises to give both the
Mohawk and the Combination a hard race
for the supremacy as a producer. But
little Information is being given out by
the management in regard to this prop
erty, but 1t is we'll known that there are
several great lodges, carrying high val
ues, opened up in the mine, and these
are being developed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The occasional shipments give no in
dication of the amount of ore that has
been blocked out, as no attempt has yet
been made at big production The Jumbo
is being developed on an extensive scale
along approved lines, and will be heard
from before many days.

NO COLOR LINE
IN A. A. u. SPORTS

NEW YORK. November 22.-The report
yesterday that the recent new rule of the
A. A. U. governing the peregrinations of
college athletes was aimed specially at j.
B. Taylor of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and for the purpose of keeping the
colored boy out Of A. A. U. compe tition
caused some talk in athletic circles. To a
man the A. A. U. officials laughed at the
story, and on all sides 1t was voted as
being extremely ridiculous. Said a man
high in A. A. U. authority: THE story is
a silly one and not worth noticing And
the new rule is not aimed a Taylor or any
one man in particular. Why. Taylor was
barred long ago from represe nting an out
side club, for the simple fact of the mat
ter is that he represented Pennsylvania
In open competition, therefore his services
could not be annexed by any athletic club
in the metropolitan district, the Middle
Atlantic or South Atlantic Association
or. for that matter. in any other district.
prior to the championships this year
there was an idea that Taylor would rep
resent the Irish A. A. c., but that was
out of the question. as he had no legal
residence in the Metropolitan Association.
1t will be remembered that at the New
York A. G.. games in June and other sub
sequent events Taylor wore the colors of
Pennsylvania and at jamestown he ran
for his college and won the quartz mile.
Where, would like to know. is the allu-
sion to the color line in the new A. A. L.
rule? There has never been any such
discrimination in our sports, nor will there
be-a good amateur, whether he be black
or white, will always have the same foot
ing in the A. A. U. field. Again. what
is there in this new law to prevent Tay-
lor from running for Pennsylvania in the
college year and for local club during
vacation?"
