The strong advances scored by
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Consoli-
dated in the last few days on the
eastern markets tell story adding
anything that might be asked in the
way OF confirmation Of recent reports
OF intentions with regard to increas-
ed activity on the part of the COM
panies. Great as Is the recognized
merit OF Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated the recent advances
would not have come about had NOT
the investors who have brought them
mad assurance that the companies
were going ahead to the end of get
''ng into the producing, dividend
earning list at the earliest possible
moment. And investors take moth

clearing houses for the credit trans.
actions of commerce. These figures
relate solely to the national banks
not to the state banks nor to the
trust companies nor to the savings
banks. In the savings banks alone
the deposits aggregate as much as
the entire currency in circulation in
America. The reflection on these fig
ures is that it is of first importance
that what currency we have should be
of the stablest, of the best; should be
sound in every part, sound in every
dollar; with any dollar the equal OF
any other dollar actual or potential
in gold or it's equivalent. That is
the condition of the country today
1t is composite, but it is sound. 1t
is based first on gold. and 1t is sus-
tanned by the credit of the govern
ment of the United States. Back of
1t Is the treasury of the United
States with the largest accumulation
of specie of any financial institution
in the world. The second reflection
is that the credit of the country
should be sound; that nothing should
be done to impair this credit that
the great financial institutions be
conducted in manner that is above
reproach; that the strictest rules of
probity as we'll as of intelligent
finance should be followed; that the
officers of those institutions, recog-
nizing their obligations as trustees,
should so advance the standards of
commercial ethics as to make impos-
sible any discredit falling upon any
of these Institutions. The country
is gradually emerging from the dis
turbance of the past three months,
caused by a series of events begin
ming with the investigation of the in
surance trusts. These revelations
and these reforms have done much
to put the great financial institutions
of America in a sounder condition
than ever before. The truth is, the
experience of the past three months
shows that public confidence is
greater in the financial fabric of
America than il has ever been
Otherwise the storm would have been
a cyclone and the disasters would
have been far greater than those of
any period in our history, because
the various enterprises of the
country were on a greater scale than
ever before. The experience of the
mast three wears Is full of instruction

II is as much a matter of certain
ty as anything can possibly be that
is not an actual accomplished fact,
that within the first half of this year
the district will be a hive of industry
from end to end. Cumberland Ely
and Nevada Consolidated ores will
within that time be rolling at the
rate of hundreds of tons day into
the bins of the reduction plants at
McGill and coming from the furnaces
in the form of bullion. More men
will be employed here than ever be-
fore and there will be more general
activity in the district than ever in
the liveliest days of its history as o
developing camp. As a producing
camp 1t will attract investment not
only to its great producing companies
but to companies in the development
stage and to the exploitation OF
ground yet to be proven of value as
mineral bearing Population will
grow by leaps and bounds and yet
upon the absolutely solid foundation
which production win make for the
camp Steady growth, bigger and
far more valuable than all the boom
growth that may ever come to an
opening or developing camp, will
keep things moving steadily forward
to the assured population mark OF
$4,000 within five years. Homes will
be built by the miners, the mechanics
the merchants, the clerks and the
professional men. They will make
eventually pretty continuous city
from the mines to the smelter, 80
miles. A residence and business sec
ton second to none in the west in
extent and desirability will come
about at Ely City, the logical center
of population and of industry in the
district, because of its advantages in
elevation, area of level ground and
Its indisputable natural attractive
ness for railroad terminal purposes
In this great growth and attendant
prosperity for all, everybody is go
ing to participate and reap benefits
Everybody should accordingly get in
and pull with good will in the col
lar that the ultimate outcome may be
brought as speedily and as generous
ly as possible. No hanging back is
excusable. Every part of the camp
will grow as the other grows and will
grow to just that extent that its
merits will enable, and no more
What suits one may not suit another,
but somewhere in the district will be
found something to fit in with every
taste. The point is to see that those

all should work, evenly and truly

History of the Lease
To revert to history-On February
18th of this year a lease was granted
by the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company to the Consolidated Red Top
Leasing company for one year, which
time has been extended to August 15,
1909. The acreage comprises two-ffths
of the area of the Red Top claim, six
hundred feet square. This is one of the
largest, if not the largest, lease ever
granted in the semi-proven zone of the
Goldfield district. j. p. Lotus is presi-
dent of the company, John Donnellan
& Co. were fiscal agents and own
the controlling interest and have the
management of the property. j. c..

The Florence Jumbo Lease company,
known as the Won Polenz
lease, presents very busy appearance
at the present time. They have reached
the 355-foot level and are putting In a
station preparatory to crosscutting the
ledge. which was encountered ON the
250- foot level.
The company has been sinking for
the past month, in order to get under
the ledge, and now that it has reached
the desired depth, the prosecuting viii
commence and Mr.. Won Polenz says he
expects to be hosting ore within the
next ten days, and Judging from the
size of the vein he feels confident that
he can continue shipments during the
remainder of the life of the lease.
A new electric high speed hoist of
large power has just been installed and
will be connected up today. The
smaller gasoline hoist will be left in
place so that no time will be lost in
hosting the ore, in ease of breakdown
or lack of power for the electric hoist.
The premises have been wired with
electric lights, and ore bins are being
erected.

feet in the clear. The small hoist orig
inaliy installed has. been replaced by a
fifty horse power electric engine, which
has just been put into commission. 1t
will be an easy matter to hereafter
hoist $50 tons day.
Work is now being carried ON with
two shifts, which will be increased &c
three when justified. There are now
thirty miners working in the property.
The two shifts do sixteen hours of work
daily for seven days in the week.
During the past three days splendid
ASSAYS have been received, the best
running from 1862 to s2,ll2 to the ton.
While these samples have been taken
across more than four and one-half feet,
the management conservatively esti-
mates the entire stope to break 5000 to
the ton.
Half Million in Sight
At present, despite the limited
amount of development work yet done,
there is at least 1000 tons of this grade

of ore in sight, or to the value of $780,
600.
A comparison of dimensions shows
that the shaft in the Hayes & Monnette
lease on the Mohawk is one-third
smaller than tnat ca tne Consolidated
Red Top, permitting much more rapid
extraction for the latter.
1t is hazardous to predict that the
Consolidated Red Top will make an
equal or greater production than the
Hayes a. Monnette, for the latter
showed tremendously higher values in
spot lots, but it is certain that the
"Con' has entered treasure chamber
that will produce a volume and value
of ore greater than that forecasted by
its ultra conservative management.
Only a few days ago the stock was 60

petent authorities freely predict that
the potentialities of the leasehold are
enormous.

GOLDFIELD COMPANY HAS
GOOD COPPER PROPERTY

has lately returned from Yerington,
where he spent three weeks at the com
pany property and reports new ore
bodies lately opened up in two of the
properties. Yerington district is being
rapidly developed and, while not much
is being said or written about the dis
trict, it is destined to be heard of soon

Will Soon Pay Dividends

Figuring from the present showings
and the method of operations in action
and planned by the management, it IS
probable, almost doubtless, that the
payment of regular dividends will be-
gin in the latter part of November or
early in December.
At the latest hour before The News
went to press it was learned that on the
150foot level, where the bonanza strike
was made, the bonanza shoot had been
drifted upon for fifteen feet and was
showing from four to FIVE feet of the
immense values recorded above.
This strike was made 200 feet from
the Booth line and the trend is into
either the Booth sideline or the Vine
garone.
In the upraise from the 225 level,
thirty feet above the roof, the ore is
almost identical with that on the $50.
To be absolutely accurate, the $50 level
is, at the ore-fnding point, 161 feet
