COMMISSION ENDEAVORING
TO LOWER ORE RATES

The Nevada railroad commission has
sent letters of inquiry to every mining
camp and district in the state to ascer-
tain the amount Of low grade ore which
can be handled. the cost of handling
and the cost of transportation to mills
and shelters, says the Carson News.
The commission is gathering data from
every point Of the state for the purpose
Of securing. il possible, cheaper trans
~portation for ores from the various
mining districts SO that the paramount
industry Of the state can be developed.
At the present time there are mil
lions Of tons Of low grade ore in the
various camps of Nevada, which can
only be handled by smelters. Owing
to the high freight rates TO Salt Lake
and other points where there are smell
tiers, these low grade ores cannot be
shipped to the smelters and worked at
a profit. 1t is impracticable at the pres
emit time to erect shelters in Nevada
say mining men owing to the lack of
fuel. There is only one coal deposit in
Nevada, so far discovered, and this is
controlled and the full output Of the
Ignite is utilized. Oil has not been dis
covered in paying quantities and conse-
quently the question Of fuel is the i'm
portant and only feature to the propo-
sition which prevents the immediate
erection of the plants.

ARREST oRows OUT
OF A CIVIL SUIT

Barton Pittman, a mining operator of
Oakland and Goldfeld, was arrested at
San Francisco Monday noon, upon the
complaint of Attorney Curtis Of San
Francisco for perjury. Pittman was
taken to Oakland, where later in the
afternoon he succeeded in securing
bonds and was released. Pittman's ar
rest springs out of a civil suit brought
against the Columbia Mohawk Leasing
and Mining company by Henry Russ.
f. R. Marriott is the president of the
company and Pittman the secretary.
Russ testified in the superior county
court that he had asked Pittman to
show him the books of the company
and that Pittman refused to do this.
Pittman, upon taking the stand, stated
that no demand had been made upon
him for the books. Out Of this testi.
mony has grown the serious charge yes
terday preferred against him. Curtis,
at Russ attorney, has made the com
plant.
Pittman claims that his arrest is an
attempt at blackmail. He Indignantly
denies the perjury charge and says he
will have no difficulty in proving his in
nocence. He says his company is legiti-
mate and that the stockholders in it
will lose nothing. Another civil suit is
now pending against the company,
brought by a relative of Russ.

John 8. Cooks bank, the bulwark for
business men and mine during
the financial panic, is reported to carry
the heaviest accounts of any bank in
Nevada.
Goldfeld has up-to-date stores and
wholesaling is now the order, since the
railroads began cutting rates in order
to gain traffic.
Mill building is progressing on an ex-
tensive scale. The great COLONIZATION
works have been completed and are be.
ginning to receive ore. The first unit of
90 stamps has been installed In the
Florence mill and the Kinkead mill is
being enlarged. Meanwhile the West
ern Ore Purchasing and Nevada Gold
field Reduction companies are running
full capacity.
By September Is the first section of
the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines com
panv's mill. 100 stamps, will be com
pleted and the second section, also of
100 stamps, will be well under way,
making the mill when completed the
largest and finest in the state.
During the past ten days the ore
zone of Goldfeld has been expanded in
both directions by the strikes in the
Miss Jessie and the Florence Extension,
which have caused renewed activity in
the yet unknown area.
Ore production in the camp is limited
to the capacity of the local ~ore-treating
plants, and this will continue to be the
case until the shelters come to more
reasonable terms with the mine owners
The production is running less than
t~hree-quarters Of a million dollars q

believes that the railroads can make a
sufficiently low rate so the ores can be
transported to the smelters and worked
at a profit. Also that the railroads will
make a nice profit from the hauling.
One thing urged in connection with
the matter is that hundreds of empty
cars are hauled from the Pacific coast
east unloaded and the commission rea-
sons that these ears could be loaded
and hauled at a very small additional
cost.
The commission has just begun its
inquiry into the facts that the only dis
trict heard from is Eureka. The people
there are satisfied with the freight rates
from that place to the smelter. At
the present time there is a rate of s1.75
the ton o n all ores assaying 81 or less
from the district to the Hnelters at Salt
Lake. This rate is sufficiently low to
make the mining of low grade profit
able.
