New Hotels Under Construction

New Hotels Under Construction
Many apartment houses and hotels
are being erected for the accommoda-
tion of the guests, who are coming to
San Francisco for the purpose of see
ing the ruins or to reside there. One
of the best hotel buildings is the Fair
! mount hotel on the summit of Mob
Hill.
The Fairmount hotel will be one of
the best hotels west of Chicago. 1t Is
to have beautiful oriental room that
will draw great many people. This
Lotel will be the first large hotel COM
pleted. Ii has a beautiful location, as
it overlooks San Francisco bay and the
world-famed sunset Golden Gate. The
st. Francis hotel, at the corner of
Geary and Powell streets, is to be re-
fitted the same as before the disaster,
except a few more modern equipments
which will be installed 1t is said that
the st. Francis hotel will not open un-
til the annex is built. The St. Francis
is now located in Union square.
Another one of San Franciscos mod
ern hoStelries is the Palace hotel at
Market and New Montgomery streets.
The new Palace hotel will be the same
as the old one and will be erected soon.
This hotel is temporarily located at
the corner of Leavenworth and Post
streets.
Two large department stores are be-
ing erected opposite each other These
are Newman & Levison and the City
of Paris dry goods stores. The City of
Paris is rebuilt and is expected to open
by the first of next year. Newman &
Levison's new store was being erected
before the fire and was not damaged
very much.
Farther down on Geary street the
VrYI- mt.
walls of the Whittel building are up
to the sixth floor 1t is often called
the Bird Cage building because the
frame work is shaped just like bird
cage.
On California street, near Montgom-
cry, is the Kohl building and the Mer-
chants Exchange building. The Kohl
building is already occupied. The Mer-
chants Exchange building was more
unfortunate than the Kohl, as it's walls
had to be torn down, but they are now
up almost to the top. The Merchants
Exchange building is progressing very
quickly.
On Montgomery street, near Bush, is
the Mills building. Mr.. Mills gave in
structions to refit this building i'm
mediately. His instructions are now
being carried out.
San francisco is still a great amuse-
ment center, as there are many
theaters and skating Kinks there. There
are three modern fire and earthquake
proof theaters, the Colonial, the Amer
lean and the Orpheum. All three IRE
high-class theaters. The Colonial gives
the dramatic plays, the Orpheum the
vaudeville show and the American the
comic opera plays.
Charleston had It's earthquake, Chi
cago it's fire, Galveston it's flood, and
now that these cities have prospered
in their climb up the ladder to success
there is hope that San Francisco will
follow close in their footsteps

exploit it." Suffice it to say the Con
pany controls this property under
lease and bond. The price agreed up
on is reasonable. the deeds are in es-
crow with the First National Bank of
Ell Paso, and the Company has Is
months il which to avail itself of the
option.
Contiguous to the Gallinas on the
North is the Corona Queen" Group
of claims, a property which mas, it is
reported in the public prints peer re-
Gently old for a large amount to
an English syndicate.
THE "HANOVER-SANTA RITA"
This Group is located in the Central
mining district, Grant County, New
Mexico, in the center of what is at
present time the most developed and
productive copper mining district il
New Mexico. Considerable high grade
ore was shipped from this property
some years ago, but the main body
of ore being too low grade to handle
proftably at that time per cent to
s per cent-the mine was shut down
and allowed to remain so until now.
There is a large body of 5 per cent.
copper ore, which will be opened up
as fast as economic development will
permit.
Freight from the property to the
SACpSI o1lISlNCI at olINSl ~ Is Jul
one dollar per ton, and under existing
conditions 4 per cent ore can be nand
led with a good margin of profit from
this property.
The Company has secured this pro-
perty under a w year working option
and some excellent results are ook
ed for when the Company's plan of
development is under way.

ton.
h company does not claim to own
a copper mine. 1t makes no attempt
to disguise the fact that, in every min
ing venture, there is necessarily an
emen of risk. the human eye can
not see into the bowels of the earth,
nor has the ingenuity of man devised
an X-ray apparatus that will ref1ect
latent bodies of ore. And, while it
is not within the range of human pos
sibility to entirely eliminate this risk
it is possible to so reduce it as to rem
der it legitimate. This the Company
has done. For several months its
engineer was in the field in Mexico,
in Arizona, in New Mexico. More han
a hundred properties were examined.
Less than a dozen received a favor-
able report at his hands. Even those
that were considered worthy of devel-
opmelt were again sifted, so that the
Company's holdings may be truly said
to embrace o of the most prOmis-
ing prospects in the Southwest-every
one a legitimate mining risk, and ev-
cry one a possible mine.

perties last yea in the United States
amounted to more h half cover so

To summarize, the Company ownes
and controls four groups of claims,
altogether 720 acres. The care exer-
cised in the selection of these several
properties reduces the element of
risk to a minimum. The copper pro-
perties are already developed to a
point where they may almost be said
to have passed the prospect stage
Ore is in evidence thruout the work

While none of them in their present
state of development are steady pro-

formation of commercial quantities
of copper ore; and altho it is beyond
the power of the most competent eagi

what the extent n value of the I'M
explored ore-bodies will be, all precau

been taken, so far as it is possible
for human judgment to do it, and 1

will make them profitable producers.

Two of the Company's properties
were purchased outright; two are held
under bono and lease. In lieu of ex-
penses incurred in examination of pro
perties, of cash advanced in their pur
chase, and a considerable ex-
p0QQ0u IN QeV6lOpIu0HI WOIh, oof,ooU
shares of stock have been issued, and
this entire issue has been pooled for
one year. There remain, therefore,
666 900 shares in the treasury; and
of his mount, the Board of Directors
has authorized the sale of 100000
shares at rs cents per share. With
the proceeds of this sale the Company
will proceed to further explore its
several properties. The development
work so far done has not sufficiently
proven the extent of the ~ore-bodies.
No machinery other than that actual
ly required in development will be
purchased. When the e-bodie shall
have been proven, then, and not till
then, will the Company invest in ex-
pensive machinery for the ope han
ding and treatment of its ores. All
exploration work will be done under
plans and specifications prepared by
the Compaay's engineer and d
his immediate supervision.
The Company is convinced that its
properties possess merit; the dlrec-
tors believe that some one of these
properties will become a mine. They
invite you to assist in the develop
ment of these properties. They as
sure you that you will be given-a
square deal-that every dollar expen-
ded will be employed in actual de-
velopment work. If it hould prove
a. failure, twill be an honest failure
if it should prove a success, twill
be an honest success.
The copper mining industry has
made, and is making, more million

The enormous increase il the con-

THE Iron MASK"
This group consists of ten O0) full
claims, located in the White Noun
tains, ear the western boundary of
the Mescalero Indian Reservation,
and about 10 miles due east from
Temporal, a station ON the Ell Paso
& Southwestern System. Develop
ment work has been commenced on
this property, and will be continued.
To quote from the engineers report:
"This is the largest outcrop of
limonite 0brown hematite) 1 have
seen in the Southwest. Surface
samples give analytical returns
of 40 to 60 per cent iron, practi-
cally free from sulphur, phospho-
rus and titanium, and contain
races of copper and silver. If
the iron continues with depth it
will prove a most valuable prop
erty. Besides, there is a great
probability of encountering other
values as the iron deposits, show
ing On the surface, may prove
to be the Gaping of bodies of

The Company owns this property
absolutely, and the deed is duly re-
corded in the Office of the Probate
Clerk for Otero county, N. NJ.
THE "GALLINAS."
This group embraces II full claims
in the Gallinas mountains, Lincoln
county, and about seven miles from
Gallinas, a station on the Ell Paso &
Southwestern System. Five of these
claims have been patented. The work
ings in these properties lave reached
a depth of 200 feet. Drifting and tun-
lel work has been dole to the extent
of 720 feet. From five smelter tests
of ore shipped from these properties
an average of $22.96 per ton was re-
allied. 1t is a copperlead-silver ore,
and more han 100 o of good ore

GERS report:
The formation at and around
these claims is a sedimentary
limestone, slightly tilted by the
underlying igleous granitoid, with
which it of necessity forms a
contact, giving the bedding plan
es of the lime a slight ilclina-
ton to the N. W., about ten de-
grees of the horizontal. This con-
tact is the m~iaeralized zone in
this instance. A bed of ferrugin-
GUS material, containing from
so to 40 per cent iron, and from
4 to 10 feet in thickness, lies
between the granite and the lime
stone . . $50 Copper ore is in evil

NO DISCRIMINATION.
Railroads Must Pay Same Rates on
Freight as Individuals Do.

Washington. May IAN important
circular, issued today by the interstate
commerce commission contains two ad-
ministra tive rulings which are OF spec
iaI interest both to the railways and
to the shipping public. In the first, the
commission expresses the opinion that
under the law, a carrier or a person or
corporation Operating railway or other
transportation line cannot as shipper
over the lines of another carrier be
given any preference in the application
of tariff rates on interstate shipments
In other words one carrier shipping It's
fuel material, or other supplies over
the line of another carrier, must pay
the legal tariff rates applicable to the
same commodities shipped by an tnd1-
vidual The committee suggests that
there may be some instances such as the
movement of needed fuel, IN when, IN
order TO keep trains or boats moving,
such traffic could be given preference
In movement without creating unjust
or unwarranted discrimination
It is said there probably is not a rail-
way in the country that mas TO pay the
regular tariff on all of it's supplies from
the initial point to the point of destlna-
tiou This is especially true of coal used

is shipped to a given point from the
mines for a railway at rate far oeIoW
that which dealer at that point would
have to nav in freight charges The
discrimination and that the railway
must nav the same tariff as the indi-
vidual
The second ruling relates to the return

error or oversight on the part of some
agent or enpIoye. a shipment is billed
