Future Grain and ProvIsions

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.--Wet weather in the win
ter belt of the United States inspired general
selling in the wheat market today, resulting in
net declines at the close of ss@24c. Corn and
oats also closed weak
Sentiment in the wheat pit was bcarish all
displayed on covering by shorts. There was a
little snow of strength early in the day as re-
suit of buying brought out by the Illinois crop
report which estimated the acreage sown to
winter wheat at Is per cent less than the estf-
mate made by government experts. Later some
buliis enthusiasm was aroused by talk in con-
nection with the Argentina Brazil embrogio and
also by the Venezuelan situation, but these fac

and the sharp break in American smelters car
ried the entire list down with it. The local
coppers held fairly we'll. but the traders offered
them down and caught stop orders at the yarl-
out levels. Confidence has been shaken for
time and the bears gaining courage. Brokers
think the market may go lower before 1t gets

TWO CAMPS ENTER
LIST OF PRODUCERS

Mountain View and Granite are
among the producing camps Of Nevada
1t is safe to say that more ore of good
milling grade and more money is today
being taken out of the ground per
capita than in any other camp in the
state.
The Wilson Gold Mines company has
started a winze from the main adit tun-
mel under the stope, los feet from the
surface and IT'S feet from the mouth
of the tunnel. This winze has been sunk
Is feet down between the walls of the
ledge, following an open issure about
Is inches wide, which terminated in a
chamber of unknown length and over
six feet wide filed to an unknown
depth with soft ~decomposed ore of the
same character as heretofore milled at
Nordyke. The development of this
huge chamber is being watched with
deep interest by the owners, and they
expect in the neal future to again begin
hauling ore to Nordyke for reduction
at the company plant at that place. The
bullion produced by amalgamation from
the last run amounted to $50 a ton, and
the returns from the same showed a
bullion value of the gold from the
Mountain View mines to be 1880 an
ounce. The amount remaining in tail
ings awaiting extraction by cyanide
process is approximately $40 a ton,
showing an approximate mill value of
the ore as broken from the mine to be
$40 a ton, which is very remarkable
when one remembers that no sorting or
grading has beer done, and that all the
ledge, from two to five feet wide, has
been milled just as broken.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-11-07

Charles 9. Schnepfe, treasurer of the
Crown Point Globe Mining company of
Johnnie, was in Goldfeld this week.
His mission was to get an equipment
for the mine, which he purchased and
ent south to Johnnie. He had with
him some white quartz from the mine
full of yellow pin heads of gold. The
mine has recently started up on a small
scale. The company had been left in
bad shape by a former management,
Quilted of much rich ore and then
abandoned, leaving the company in
debt. Mr.. Schnepfe and Ed Overfeld
took hold of the mine, and 1901 pounded
out enough gold to pay off the debt.
The ore is extremely rich, one lot of SO
pounds having returned $4,925.
Mr.. Schnepfe, in talking of the
Johnnie Consolidated, said the company
had been reorganized, said:
"The first meeting of the directors
of the new company, known as the
Johnnie Mining and Milling company,
was held in Los Angeles Oct. 81, after
the transfer of all assets had been made
from the old company, which met dis
aster last spring under the name of the
Johnnie Consolidated Gold Mining com
pany.
"The most important facts were con-
tanned in the statement that the debts,
amounting to $4,000, had been retired
and that the new company starts it's
career with a cash balance of practi-
cally 100000, backed by the complete
and modern mill, which was erected
under the rotten Doubleday regime last
winter at an expense of 100000.
"The directors of the new company,
which will make an earnest effort to
place the property upon a producing
basis, are A. d. Myers, known as the
Father of Goldfeld,' and who was one
of the original owners of the famous
Mohawk, in the Nevada camp; Byron
L. Oliver, a well known local attorney;
DR.. w. d. Babcock, w. R. Mitchell, E..
c. Harrington, T. A. Johnson and
Blaine Taylor.
myers will act as president and gen
eral manager, giving his personal at

treasurer, with full charge of financial
al arrangements.
"The reorganization, which is now
an accomplished fact, has been brought
about by the untiring efforts of Myers
and Johnson, after nearly three months
of work, and the result reflects great
credit upon their perseverance and
ability. Matters were in a very chaotic
state when the property was closed
down last spring, and it was only by
dint of strenuous labors hat the as
sets of the old company were saved
from the appraised hand of the sheriff.
GA new 100-ton crusher is now on
the way to the mine; the wooden floor
in the engine room has been replaced
with concrete; belt conveyors are being
installed tt take the feed from the
crusher to the bins, and the water sup
ply system has been improved and the
capacity increased. Myers is now on
the ground experimenting the resump-
ton of operations on a large scale, and
within sixty days it is believed that
the plant will be tuned up to a capac-
ity of 100 tons a day, which will be
considerably in excess of previous re-
suits. The reports made by Anderson
for the COMPANY show $4,000 tons of
