When the street comes to the conclu-
sion, if it ever does. that Union Pacific
is cheap even with the fullest allowance
for what President Roosevelt, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, and the De
partment Of Justice may do, or Mr.. Har-
riman has done, then the way will proba-
bly, clear for bullish operations in the
stock market. Union Pacific is now the
greatest stumbling block in the way Of
the bulls. Its price, proportioned 10 its
dividend yield, is so low that it causes
mistrust. and brokers are averse to ad-
vlsing purchase Of this once popular
security. apprehensive of what may
happen.
The old precept that the ticket tells
the tale, has given rise to the possibly
unwarranted assumption that there is
something radically wrong or the stock
would not continue to sell on a : per cent
basis.
The Washington herald., 1907-06-06

The question IS, Has liquidation been
completed. and has it been followed BY
good buying Of stocks? To this, the street
has only one answer. and that in the
negative; but a similar answer given be-
fore. under somewhat similar circam-
stances, proved 20 be very wrong.
Possibly the street is wrong again

$2,766, 700

The production of gold and silver in
the United States in 1906 is shown in
the following table in approximate dis
tribution by states and territories. These
figures are the result of conference and
adjustment between the bureau Of the
mint and the geological survey, and are
accepted as final by the two bureaus.
The data as represented in this table are
ascertained from the bullion deposits in
the United States mints and assay Of
fees and by statements from the smelling
and refining establishments. 1t shows. in
brief, the amount of the precious metals
refined during the year. The production
of gold in the United States during 1906
was $500. as against $SS, 10000 for
1905, a gain in 1906 of Sc, 6,1931O0. The prin-
cipai gain was in Alaska. which amount

SIAM MINING COMPANY
WILL SOON HAVE MILL
Owns One of the Few Desert Proper
ties Which Can Be oper-
ated at Low
Cost

Mr.. p. McDermot, president and gen.
eral manager of the Siam Mining COM
pany, has just returned to Los Angeles
after an extended visit to the mine. lie
reports great activity in his district and
tells of many rich finds in the Ship
mountains and in the Clipper range.
The Bell-Wood mine near Dandy, which
attracted SO much attention in the spring
by the rich chimney of ore encountered
in the workings, is to be rushed to a
depth of 200 feet. Mr.. Wood, one of the
discoverers of the property, will have
charge of the work this winter.
Mr.. McDermot is most enthusiastic
over the Slams future. He says: I'VE
have been delayed somewhat in our prog
ress owing to the inability of the manu-
facturers TO ship our mill, but we can
see ahead now when the congestion of
the dump will be relieved
The mill upon arrival will be set up at
once. Several thousand tons of ore are
waiting for treatment which is all high
grade and which will when milled make
room for as much more, which has but
to be hoisted to tne surface.
The Slam is one of the few desert
properties which can be operated at low
cost The flat below the mine can pro-
duce at low depth water sufficient for
thousands of stamps and the accessibility
to the railroad will make the fuel prob
lem OF secondary Importance.

ducer of considerable consequence-the
big tailings dump at Bullionville, contain
ing approximately 171,000 tons of ore and
valued-bascd on the present marker
for the metals-at about $3,0OO,OOO; 1000
acres of land, connected with which are
some valuable water rights; numerous
buildings, among which is a well equipped
mill and forty acres of limestone, large
area of which is almost pure.
The Prince mine consists of five con-
tiguous lode mining claims across which
runs a vein from 100 to 200 feet wide
and cropping for at least 900 feet in width
at the surface. The property has been
developed to a depth of $50 feet, with
many drifts and crosscuts on the several
levels in which is exposed a large ton
mage of lead-silver-gold ore of the aver
age value probably of about per cent
lead. and an iron excess of 25 per cent.
In the mine. of course, are shoots OF
high grade shipping ore.
While the matter has not been decided
II is not unlikely that the Prince Consoli-
dated company will shortly take steps
looking toward the erection of smelter
at Bullionville-a short distance out Of
Phoebe.

NEW MINING ENTERPRISE
REMOVES TO LOS ANGELES
Garvin System Combines All Features
of Cyanide Extraction Hitherto
Possessed by Mill, Plates
and Tanks

Los Angeles is to be the home of the
Garvin Cyanide Extraction and Develop
ment company.
This adds another to the list of meri-
torious enterprises which are contribut-
ing to our city's stability.
Friday night Mr.. Garvin returned from
Portland, where he has been for some
weeks past. He said: II have concluded
that Los Angeles is to be the center of
exchange for the mining industry, and in
order to be near and more closely in
touch with the operators l have decided
in favor of this city the permanent
establishment of my plant
The present premises occupied by the
local offices will have to be enlarged to
make room for the establishment of ma
chinery required for the successful oper-
alton of his working model and for the
building Of the machines, for which Mr..
Garvin has many waiting orders.
The Garvin system combines the many
features of cyanide extraction, which up
to a short time ago were executed by
the mill, the plates and the tanks. Elec-
trolysis enters largely into the work, and
so perfect is the machine that it is actu-
ally continuous in its operations, doing
away with long waits In the percolation
period and the wasteful precipitation of
the old system
Extraction has become a certainty.
where before it was entirely problemat-
ical
With the establishment of this plant
at 1886 San Fernando street Los Angeles
has been extremely fortunate.
A number of skilled employees will be
constantly employed. which will add ma
terially to the income Of the retail trade.

Famous Prince Mine Is Taken over,
Besides immense Acreage of &
Land and Well Equipped

The Prince Consolidated Mining and
Smelling company is the name of a
strong company organized in Salt Lake
City to operate one of the most valuable
mining propositions in Nevada. 1t is
capitalized for 100000 .iares of the par
value of 50 each.
Interested in the enterprise are some
of the principal stockholders of the Ohio
Kentucky Mining company. who have
supplied the treasury of the organization
with good fund of cash, hence the or
ganization will start out under the most
auspicious circumstances.
The new company is to absorb the
assets of the Phoenix Reduction company
and the stockholders of the latter are to
have issued them in exchange for their
old certificates eight shares of the new
stock for one share of the old. In other
words. 100000 shares are to be issued to
the Phoenix stockholders and the re-
naming 900 shares of the capital stock
are to remain in the treasury to be dis

Special 10 The Herald.
RHYoLITE. New, Nov, SIN line with
all the other good news about mills and
reduction plants for the Bullfrog dis
trict comes the announcement that the
Mayfiower Bullfrog Consolidated Mining
company will at once take steps toward
securing a mill for its promising prop
erty.
The management of the company has
been seriously considering this project
for some months. during which time the
mine has made remarkable progress in
the development of the big ore body al
depth, but the question of water supply
has prevented the shaping OF any definite
plans.
Within the past week. however, big
flow of water has been struck on the
50O-foot level, and the management is
satisfied that the flow is sufficient to
supply fair-sized mill. possibly twenty
stamps, and it Is the purpose of the
company to Immediately proceed with
tests on the ore with view of placing
an order for a plant.
The Lee Gold Crest Mining company
is planning on the erection of ten
stamp mill on their By-Jo group near
Keane Springs.
Within a few hundred feet of where
the Bullfrog Gold Bar mill is being erect
ed a crew of men are now digging
trenches and preparing for the laying
of the foundation for a 100-ton mill on
the Homestake-King property.
The machinery for the plant has been
ordered and the work of erecting the
buildings and installing the equipment
will be pushed with all possible speed.
Water for the mill has been developed
about five miles from the mine by sinking
q well.
The tests on the ore, which have re-
Gently veen made in San Francisco, gave
returns on the carload shipment of $25
to the ton, the values being principally
in gold. The ore is ideally free milling,
and will require only the amalgamation
and cyanide processes of reduction. The
tests show that fully 96 per cent of the
values can be saved.
1t is observed that every property that
is being worked on Tobin mountain is
showing up most encouragingly. On the
south and southwest side is the STAR
light; on the east the Bullfrog Pioneer
on the northeast the Jim Dandy, on the
west Jack Diamond and associates. on
the northwest A. v. Childs, and on the
north Ed Herkelrath.
w. D. Lawton has started men to work
on the Gold Center tunnel, in charge of
Henry Waller. Tunnel is in 460 feet and
must go 200 feet more before cutting the
main vein. A three-foot vein of quartz
was cut recently.
Mr.. Lawton says a custom mill has
been arranged for and will soon be in
operation. The water has been piped
ready for it.
Other mines working around Gold Gen.
ter are: Norwich, s. Callicutt, the Mat
tie, Independence, Gold M. Success and
Barnum Bullfrog.

DESERT RAT LOVES
HOPE UNFULFILLED
HIS WORLD BOUNDED BY PLAIN

His Hair Grows White in Graves OF
Quick and His Bones Bleach
in Graves OF
Dead

The more difficult the requirement,
the greater the appreciation, whether
II be the wealth of love, of lucre, OF
health, of laudation, or modicum OF
that sweet content with unalterapie
environment which is most arduous TO
attain and is the nearest approach
to happiness doled out to denizens of
the planet earth.
This Il, the sweet content the desert
rat" enjoys. His world-all he pos
sesses and all he would ACQUIRES
bounded by the horizon of plain and
mountain, by the vaulted firmament
and by the depths from which in the
sweet "manana" he will levy toll OF
Nature.
Sordidness is alien to his character.
The ecstasy of storming and Of sack
ing the treasure casket-rockwalled by
igneous flow and sediment, defended
by the allied hosts of thirst and storm
and famine-not the gaining of that
which the trove will buy, makes the
magnet of the depths. He confides this
to the stars when sleep forsakes his
ragged blankets. when tie lone coyote
howls his plant at desolation. His Is
the lust of conquest that makes of
some men soldiers, some libertines and
others desert rats"
Before he becomes a graduate rat
his sophomore days are languid and
depressed, and his nights dream tossed
and visioned with the sparkle and
with weaving charms of home and
friends and that sweet time," with the
soft sheen of eyes that love-the eyes
of mother and sweetheart
Then the desert rat goes mad and
cries out to the silent stars with no
answering echo save the wall of the
lone coyote and the sobbing of the
night wind in the yucca palm
With laggard dawn come cap and
gown and sheepskin for the "des ert
rat" His great lesson is learned, his
hardest task is ended. Though mem
ory often touches lightly the raw and
bleeding wound inflicted under the
silent stars, it is with a tender, cool
ing, healing hand, and but scar
remains.
without this travail, this Gethsem-
ane, no desert rat' can claim such
title. Otherwise he is but as other
humans are, with sordid ends in view,
with dreams of avarice and with
thoughts of gain. He leaves the desert
gloating in victory, cursing in defeat
Not so the desert rat" His hair
grows white in the Nevadan graves
of the quick and his bones bleach in
the Nevadan graves of the dead.
