Prince Consolidated Bonanza.

The big bonanza mine OF the camp
today is the Prince Consolidated, cor
trolled by the CODES and Colonel J. L.
Hackett of Louisville, KY. Millions pf
tons of lowgrade ore of excellent flux-
ing qualities have been blocked out :,
this property down to and including
H.. 400-foot level. while The working
shaft is now approaching the 60O-foot
mark. In addition TO the big ledge, Two
parallel assures carrying large amounts
OF sensationally high-grade ore have
been opened in the property. So i'm
mense is the showing in this mine that
every visitor TO it leaves an enthus.-
astie champion of the property, the
company and the camp-and no one
with a half reasonable excuse is denied
admission to the mine
The CODES are also the controlling
factors in the Ohio-Kentucky compa-

A Year of Great Improvement.


Not a single mine in the district
about Phoebe which looked good a year
ago but looks better today. not one.
There has not been a single failure in
the search for ore in new properties
that has come to notice, while there
has been strike after strike reported
as development in new properties was
pushed along. Few camps in the west
have made such q marvellous showing.
The last half of the year has been a
hummer. Notwithstanding the slow re-
covery from the financial panic. Next
year will see the past years perform
ances eclipsed in every way. The mines
are now proven; the real business is
ahead. Great hosting works. mills,
smelterS and refineries are among the
things to come now. The railroad must
be extended around the mountains to
take in the various districts tributary
to the main camp. Senator William a.
Clark started the ball rolling when he
decided that a branch of the Salt Lake
route should be constructed TO camp.
He has since had several corps OF bis
own engineers investigate the district
and he has personally looked into rs
requirements. II is not known that he
has made any promises as TO what
shall be done in the future, but the SEN
timent is at camp that when extensions
of the railroad are needed they Will be
built A rate on ores has already been
made that has allowed a dozen proper :
ties to ship ore that pTevi usly could
no move u pound; so everything in
that respect is working out al right

John Hays Hammond, the noted
mining engineer, who has announced
his candidacy for the republican nom
ination for vice president, is citizen
of Massachusetts and native of Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Hammond is known
throughout the world for his expert
knowledge of mining. The late Bar
ney Barnato of South Africa once re-
marked that Hammond could smell a
gold mine 900 miles off. Barnato in
duced Hammond to go to South AT
RIGA on the scent of gold mines The
American engineer was accused OF
completely in the Jameson raid affair
and was sentenced to death by the
Transvaal republic, but finally was re-
leased on payment of a fine of $125,-
900. Mr. Hammond is said TO receive
a salary of 100000 a year from the
Guggenheim syndicate as mining
expert.

The New San Francisco.

San Francisco has got back to the
basis it occupied two years ago when
fire swept it, leaving in its wake a
mass of ruins. Whereas then the
value of buildings within the city's
limits was $105. GOO, the value of
the buildings since erected, or now in
course of erection, is = $102, 1867.
Then the buildings covered 512 blocks
and the floor area of the new buildings
now equals the entire floor area of the
buildings destroyed. Whereas 2S,1SS
structures, most of them frame, were
destroyed, 14,270 modern structures re
place them in an area of nearly equal
size, and the new buildings are gen
orally much better than those replaced.
According to Calvin B. Brown, who
reviews San Franciscos progress in
the current number of the Review of
Reviews, the population is back to the
half million figure Counting the bay
cities of Oakland, Berkeley and AL
media, the population has been increas-
ed by 100000 over the before-the-fire
total, which cities, with the settle
ments within a radius of Is miles of
Frisco, give total population of $780,
| 600, which doubtless will be increased
TO a million before long.
While the city has expended millions
out of the treasury in constructing new
streets, waterworks, public buildings,
etc., it has just authorized the sale of
lS1S,200,000 of bonds, which leaves it
Iyet with a borrowing capacity of $46,-
100000 before the limit fixed by the
charter shall have been reached. The
sound business conditions in interior
California have contributed much, Mr..
Brown affirms, to the upbuilding of the
city at the<golden gate. ut is not only
the port of import and export, and the
Ic,earing house for the states business,
but 1t Is the market to which the state
goes to buy its supplies. Interior Cal
lifornia could not get along withoutSan
Francisco, and it will demand an in.
Increasingly larger San Francisco to sup
ply its growing requirements.
1t is predicted that the figures for
1908 will show an even larger building
record than for the year 1907, the
money for which improvements is for
the most part being supplied by the
least

Henry Clews, in his last financial
letter, has this to say of the $300,0O0,-
900 loan of the c., B. & o. railway:
"The announcement of the $500, 100000
Chicago, Burlington &c Quincy loan
caused the Street to pause somewhat;
for while only $16,000,000 were issued
for immediate purposes, there was
much conjecture as to what was the
ultimate purpose in authorizing so
huge loan--the biggest railroad bond
issue on record. A very large portion
of this issue was intended for refund
ing purposes. Nevertheless there is a
big remainder of considerably over
00.000;000, the use of which is open
to surmise. This places the road in
a position to command large amount
of capital for development and to place
the. Hill lines in position for meeting
the competition of the Hartman Trans
Atlantic systems operating in the south.
OF course, this new capital is required
for development of roads running to
the north Pacific coast, and shows an
encouraging degree of confidence on
the part of our great railroad managers
in the future of that rich and undevel-
oped section"
