TURNING OUT
GOLD BULLION

The noise of the Keane Wonder 20
stamp mill is making music twenty
four hours per day on the Death Val
ley slope of the Funeral range. The
mill is nearly up to capacity. between
70 and rs tons of ore being treated
per day.
The output for November, as noted
exclusively in last weeks Rhyolite
Herald, represented about twelve
days actual run, and from the clean
up of last week gold brick, esti-
mated by the Wells Fargo Express
Company to be worth $500, was
shipped to the Carson City mint, via
Rhyolite.
The ore treated at the mill is aver
aging between SIS and $40 per ton.
The quality of the ore is lowered in
slight degree by the presence OF
waste which is accumulated in han
ding the ores from the quarries to
the tramway, but this feature will be
overcome in a short time and the
quality of the ore will be increased

IMPORTANCE OF
leasing SYSTEM

In districts producing high grade
ore the leasing system has become an
important factor in the development
of mines, without which the extensive
exploration of large areas would be
impossible. In Leadville, Cripple
Creek, Tonopah, Goldfield and num-
erous other districts lessees have for
years contributed very material
part of the output.
When Tonopah was first discovered
the scattering outcrops of rich ore
formed a great incentive to practical
miners unable to secure satisfactory
locations, and many of them were
glad to develop blocks of ground UNI
der royalty, taking chance, in many
instances, of finding paying ore
which at that time, in Tonopah, a
new camp, 60 miles from the nearest
railroad, with many drawbacks,
meant ore worth upwards of 500
per ton.
Some rude head-frames of the
simplest construction were to be seen
scattered in line along the outcrop
of the principal veins, and the sue
cessful lessees within the first few
months shipped away hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth OF ore.
Later the same scenes were enact
ed at Goldfeld, as they have been at
Cripple Creek, Bullfrog, Manhattan,
and at every rich camp discovered
in late years, says American Mining
Review. So profitable has leasing
been in these districts that leasing
companies, organized and incorpor-
ated,. often with a large amount OF
cash capital available for the prose-
cution OF development of improved
ground, have become as common as
the companies organized to operate
mines owned by them.
In a great number of cases lessees
undertake the development OF ground
largely on hope of what may be found
and not on huOWu COAOAtAOAo
being many exceptions to this Of
course. Fortunately a great many
leases have proved highly profitable
to those engaged in the business, and
these successes have stimulated 9th
ers to take similar risks.
It is the operation of this class O
mining companies that the mining
stock market becomes an importan
factor. A lease, known to contain
valuable ore deposits, or being II
proximity to others that have, Il

ENGLISH TRA|NMENS'
STRIKE INEVITABLE
ALL PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
TO TIE UP BRITISH
RAILWAYS.

LONDON, Oct. 23-Day and night
meetings of railway employees are
taking place in all parts of the coun-
try, at which speeches are made and
resolutions passed emphatcally IA
voring strike to force the compa-
nies to recognize the union. Already
spirit of bitterness is developing
Reports continually reach the leaders
of the would-be strikers that the COM
panies are preparing to import work
ers to operate the lines. At some of
the railway centers shanties are be-
ing built for strike breakers where
they can offer most resistance to the
unionists. Emergency food depots
are also being established.
1t is clear that the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants, under
Secretary Richard Bells skilful lead
ership, means to fight, but only 100,-
900 out of the total of 100000 rail
way workers in the country belong
to this society. The managers of the
lines declare that immense numbers
of competent men are waiting to take
the places if the strikers abandon
them.

ELY IS SURPRISE
TO RAILROAD MAN
HARRY YOUNGERMAN HAS HIS
EYES OPENED UPON AR
RIVAL HERE.

Harry l.. Youngerman. travelling
freight and passenger agent of the
Rock Island. with headquarters in
Salt Lake. spent yesterday in Ely
drumming up the freight business
for the lines he represents
This is my hrst visit to Ely,
he said to The News, "and | want
TO say that | am most agreeably sur
prised by the appearance of the
camp. Regardless of all the friction
that there is between various inter
ests and between the two ends of
town, you will certainly have a big
camp. 1t can be helped. 1t will be
a big camp in two or three years at
the outside and there won't be a va
cant lot between the two ends of town
in that time.
1T is the talk in Salt Lake among
the men who are high up in railroad
circles, that the Western Pacific will
be running into Ely within from four
to six weeks with their passenger
and freight service in perfect eondi-
ton. 1t is distinctly understood
there that the Salt Lake-Ely sleeper
will run over the Western Pacific
tracks, and that it will be made
through service.
ELY is the most talked of camp
in the west among Salt Lake people
today. Salt Lake business men.
wholesalers, iobbers, machinery
houses and every other class of bust
ness men will make a stronger bid
than ever for the business of this
camp as soon as the Western Pacific
is completed and in full operation.
All they are waiting for Is a straight,
short, through run, and quick freight
delivery. Then they will jump after
this business-and | believe they
will offer such inducements that the
people of this section will be glad
to trade with them.
For my own part, | must express
my amazement that the operations
that are carried on here by the min
ing companies, have reached such an
advanced stage as they have. The
work that has been done here is lit
tie short of marvellous. 1t speaks
mighty well of the degree of conf
dence the Ely men, the men who are
putting up the money, have in the
camp and in its future.
