THREE RAILROADS WILL
FEED NEW SHELTER PLANT
Pacific Reduction Company VIII En-
able Development of Mines
Paying Less Than $25
to the Ton

The Pacific Reduction company has
been incorporated to do a custom smelt-
ing business.
Foster Brothers, who have offices in
the Bumiller building at 430 South Broad
way. are the fiscal agents and say that
the enterprise is meeting with encour-
agenlent.
The alnelter will be located in San
Bernsrd'nU county, accessible to three
railroads, being located in the heart
OF rich mineral region.
The Pacific Reduction company's plant
will be several hundred miles nearer to
the gold camps of Nevada than any, as
the Tonopah & Tidewater railway, which
is Hearly completed, will connect with
all the leading camps of California and
Nevada. The Santa Fe railway also will
feed the smelter and the Salt Lake
will bring the smelter in close touch
with the other rich districts.
In all these districts are numerous prop
critics which are heavy shippers to Salt
Lake and San Francisco smelters, and
at present the freight rates prohibit the
shipping of ores paying under $25 per
ton.
The smelling works will consist of a
lead stack of 100 tons daily capacity and
a copper stack of equal tonnage, each
of which will be of tthe latest type fur
mace and equipped with a preliminary
heating apparatus which will prepare
the ore before going into the blast fur
mace.
In addition to the smelter proper the
company has completed arrangements for
the erection of one of the Lowe coke
and gas systems, which will produce
twenty-five tons of coke per day, which
has double the smelling value of any
other coke known and will double the
capacity of the plant; furnish 100000
feet of gas per day, which will be turned
into electricity through the agency of a
modern gas engine and furnish power
enough to operate all the machinery.
light and heat all the buildings and still
leave enough power to sell to the min
ing camps of this district and furnish
light and power for the entire Mojave

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED
BY LIVE YOUNG TOWN
Prospectors Declare Mineral Area at
Rosebud Extends Over Known
Zone Sixteen Miles in
Width :

ROSEBUD, New, Sept. 29.-Rosebud has
Just celebrated its first birthday yet more
than half million dollars have gone into
the camp In payment of~properties and ir
the prosecution of the work The town oi
Rosebud is in the southwestern part OF
Humboldt county, New, and is reached
by daily stage from Mill City. Winnie
mucca and Humboldt House. The popu-
lation is about 700 and is increasing.
The district first attracted outside at
tention last October when Lewis Park
hurst and Malcolm Macdonald. well
known and successful operators of Tono-
pah and Goldfield, paid $250,OOO for the
Brown Palace group of claims, notwith-
standing that they were mere prospects
Later the same operators paid $4,000 for
the Rabbits Foot group Of four fractions
adjoining the Brown Palace. Then fol-
lowed the sale of the Dreamland, Pow
haitian Rather, White Alps and Golden
Anchor. On the Brown Palace some phen-
omenal assays have been obtained from
two of the lodges. The Dreamland is the
show" mine of the camp, and its gold
silver ores run into high figures. Con-
siderable high grade has been sacked, but
the company has not shown any inclina-
tion to ship. In fact, 1t has been the
policy of all the Rosebud companies to
thoroughly develop their properties be-
fore making shipments. The plan is to
prove the presence and permanency of
ore bodies so that when shipments begin
they will be regular and continuous.
According to reports made by prospec-
tors the mineral area of the country ex-
tends over a known zone sixteen miles
wide, and the general confidence in the
permanency of the mines is shown in the
number of substantial buildings being
erected. among them being a comfortable
hotel.

NEVADA WONDER is NOW
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

WONDER, Sept. 29.-The attention OF
the district is now largely concentrated
upon the Nevada Wonder. The surface
richness of this property has played ar
important part in attracting the notice OF
the mining world to Wonder, and it is
regarded as representative of the dis.
trict, not only by outside observers, but
also by the people here. In less than q
month the permanent shaft, which is now
down 425 feet, will have reached the 50(
foot level from which point short cross
cut will be run to the. ledge. The show
ing on the vein at this depth. which will
be greater than that so far attained by
any other company, is regarded as indie
ative of what will be developed through
out the district when depth is reached
All of those interested in Wondar are
therefore awaiting with much interest the
progress of Nevada Wonder work.
That j. B. Daniel, general manager of
the Nevada Wonder. and his Philadelphia
and Tonopah associates, who are among
the most expert and successful mining
men in the United States, firmly believe
in the richness of their own mine and of
the district. Is Indicated by the fact that
they have just completed arrangements
for the installation of an elaborate cleo
trical system for bringing power to
Wonder to operate not only their own
machinery, but that of other mines, but
also to furnish motive power for an i'm
proved chlorination process mill.
The promise for brilliant future for
the Nevada Wonder is increased by the
recent showings on the adjoining Hidden
Treasure, where, at depth of 1876 feet,
forty-five-foot ledge carrying values all
the way across has recently been un-
covered.

LOCAL MINING OPERATOR
TALKS ABOUT COPPER
George Mitchell Says Low Price Is
Due to Manipulation of Some
of the Larger In.
. terests

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Sept. 29.-George
Mitchell, president of the Mitchell Min.
ing company, accompanied by his brother
Harry Mitchell, arrived in Mexico City
a few days ago from Los Angeles, on
his way to the company properties al
La Dicha, Guerrero. Shortly after arriy-
ing in this city Mr.. Mitchell received a
message calling him to New York, and
so will probably defer his visit to La
Dicha until next month.
The construction of the Mitchell Min
ing company's railroad and the develop
ment of properties at La iDicha are pro-
crossing without ~elay and all the rails
and ties necessary for railroad construc-
tion have been received. Sixty freight
cars are now at San Francisco and will
be shipped by steamer to the Pacific
coast terminus of the road.
The present low price of copper, he
says, is due to manipulation of some of
the larger interests, and is not due to
the over-production and large surplus on
hand, as given out by representatives
of these interests. The estimated sur
plus is 25O,OOOOOO pounds, which Mr..
Mitchell declares is not sufficiently large
to cause depression in the market, par
ticularly in view of the fact that the
consumption of copper has shown a ma
terial increase-about 80 per cent-during
the past year.
The continued low price of copper will
cause a number of the mines to close
down, as much low grade ore now being
handled cannot be profitably worked
should the price go any lower. 1t was
recently stated that the Anaconda mines
would cut down their production one
half for this reason, and Mr.. Mitchell
says the Greene interests will have to
close down at least third, or reduce
production by at least a third on this ac-
count. He looks for an Improvement in
the market, however, and an advance
of several cents in price.

Transfer Made
a deal has been cosummated in which
the properties of the Chronicle Mining
company, located about four miles east
of Prescott, were transferred to the Bal
itimore, Md, Copper company, recently
organized. One of the considerations OF
the transfer is tLat the new concern will
pay all outstanding obligations of the
Chronicle company and subscribe $22,50O
at once to be expended in the develop
ment of the property. work to be COM
menced within the next thirty days. The
new concern will also issue share for
share of its stock to stockholders in the
Chronicle as a further consideration of
the transfer.
Upon instructions from General Man
ager Alex Veitch, who is at present in
California, fifty men have been laid off
from the Copper King mine at Clifton.
The entire force, with the exception of
about ten, will be laid off on October 1.
No reason for the layoff has been given,
but 1t it generally supposed to be due
to the decline in the price of copper.
A visit was paid to the Vanadium
about which several articles have al
ready appeared. These mines are at
present the property of ]. Jay Sullivan
of Kelvin, but are held under option by
Phoenix and eastern parties.
One cannot fully appreciate the value
of these properties without rsonal In
spection. Development work has been
made in numerous places, all showing
good values. and the original discovery
can be traced for 5000 feet on the sur
face. There are five parallel veins ira
versng the full length of each claim.
From abrupt banks Of each slope the
ore shows 500 feet below the apex and all
veins show large per cent of vanadium.
These properties are now attracting
attention.
