sections.
In preceding conferences the oppor-
tunities for San Francisco to build up a
great and profitable business and the
benefits to be gained by GOldheld and
its sister camps by doing business with
the metropolis Of the Pacific Coast have
been discussed and made clear to all
concerned. San Francisco is now CO.
operating with the Nevada miners TO
secure all possible train facilities for
Nevada.
At the meeting of yesterday Henry T.

LUDWIG NINE IS BONDED
Large Copper Property at Yerington
Is Valued at 1000, 900


A transaction Of first magnitude, the
bonding of the famous Ludwig mine
at Yerington Nevada for s1.000.000
cash is announced. The bond was
granted last week after months of de-
liberation by the parties concerned. to
Max Junghandel of Yerington and as
sociates on the strength of certified
check deposited with the Anglo Cali
fornian Bank of this city.
1t is understood the bond is taken in
the interest of a powerful Eastern cop
per mining syndicate. The deal in
wolves one of the richest copper mines
in the country The Ludwig mine has
been during the last year a regular
shipper of ores averaging "a per cent
copper, produced In the course of de-
velopment work. 1t is claimed that the
ore in the mine from the surface to the
600-foot level averages 10 per cent,
which, with the present high price of
copper, would return approximately $50
tor. 1t has been estimated that by
the 400 feet of work done about $4,000
tons of ore are exposed in the mine.
The Ludwig deposit is described as
being marked by a boldly outcropping g
ferriferous quartz dixie, occurring in
the contact of triassic lime and quartz
porphyry, to all experiences a forma-
tion offering the most favorable condi-
tions for contact-metamorphi ore
deposition. The lime belt on the west
side of the dixie is said TO be 800 feet
wide and is fanked by a gypsum de-
posit of an average width of 500 feet.
The quartz-porphyry belt on the east
side of the dixie has an average width,
so it is said, of 600 feet and is inclosed
by a belt of granite-porphyry, garnet
and schist, in which the Nevada Doug
las mine is located.

Concerning the Programme
GOLDFIELD. Jan. 25.-One Of the
most interesting developments in min

that O. P. Posey. one OF the heaviest
operators in the West. and president
Of the Nevada Copper Mining and Mill
ing Company has. with some Of his
associates insthat corporation, secured
an option on and purchased a large
block of the stock IN the Daisy mine

they have secured the option and made
a substantial payment on the stock.
Several weeks ago they bought 125, 1000
shares, and they are interested in leases
on the property.
Colonel Posey says that the same
company organization will be contin-
ued and probably the same manage
ment, though the directorate may be
changed TO some extent. He is conf
dent that the deal will be consummated,
and has outlined plans for the future
working of the property which contem-

a large mill for the treatment of the

Lockhart Denies Story That Property
VIII Be Merged

GoLDFIELD, Jan. 25.-Thomas G..
Lockhart, who. with A. D Parker,
owns the control of the Florence mine.
says the report that a deal is on foot
to include that property in a merger
with neighboring mines is entirely
without foundation in fact He ad-
mits that he had been approached upon
the subject of placing a figure on his
interests, but declined unless his part
ner favored selling.
Lockhart says that as soon as
weather permits the company will go
ahead with Its preparations for a big
mill. The ground was partly cleared
some time ago. but the snow and
heavy storms put stop to the work
for time. The plans for reduction
works have been completed after a
series of tests under Lockhart's per-
sonal supervision. Several leases are
operating on the Florence and one Of
them. the Florence Leasing and Min
ing Company. adjoining the famous
Reilly lease, has shipped 400 tons of
high grade ore, some of the quartz

The Old Roman rpicures.

Almost any dish which had to rec
onmend Il rarity, costliness, indigesd-
bility and, to our way Of thinking, mas
tiness was sure to take with the Ro-
man epicure. And If he were unable
to made It costly any other way be
would add powdered precious stones or
gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion
from a peacock which was sprinkIed
with diamond dust, and specimens of
that bird dressed with gold or with
crushed pearls were by no means a
rarity at the triclinia of the moneyed
Romans. A dish of parrots tongues
was great delicacy. But a dish OF
parrots tongues which had been capa-
bic, when in their proper place, OF
framing words was Of almost meal
culable value, which increased in q di.
rect ratio with the vocabularies Of the
defunct parrots. Another bird for
which the Roman epicure was in the
habit Of paying fabulous prices was
the phenecoptrix, which is believed to
have been the ptarmigan. It had Its
home In the most northefly parts of
Scotland and Norway, and as this
made it hard TO get at the Romans ap-
preciated It all the more and put 1t in
the same rank with ostriches, buzz
yards and peacocks. The tongues Of
these birds were specially prepared, to-
gether with the brains, and took the
place which hors d'oeuvre would now
take.

TO PERPETUATE
GAME IN MONTANA

Butte, Mont, Jan 25.-Arrange-
ments are being completed for the es-
tablishment of a big game preserve in
the Madison valley and the promoters
are sanguine that their efforts will be
the means of perpetuating fish and
wild game in Montana. Already Madi-
son valley contains one of the largest
bands of elks outside the Yellowstone
National Park, and they have refused
to be driven out even when Indian
hunters roamed the district with a
grim determination to exterminate
them, in fact they appear to be thriv-
ing more and more as time goes by
There will be ample protection for all
wild game in the enormous preserve
which is more than a hundred of thou
sand of acres in extent The valley is
filled with water courses with fish and
the district is an ideal one for hunts
men.
