ROUND MOUNTAIN
BULLION ARRIVES
ANOTHER LARGE SHIPMENT OF
YELLOW METAL FROM THE
GREAT GOLD CAMP.

Another large shipment of bullion
from the mines of Round Mountain
came in from that place Sunday even
ms and was placed in the safe Of
Grant Crumley of the Nevada Club
for safe keeping. The bullion was
brought in by Henry Bartlett of the
Round Mountain Nugget, C. o. Olive
o. the Round Mountain Banking Cor
pcration, George Mauli of the Great
v estern Mining Company, and Thos.
Wilson of the Round Mountain Hy-
draulic Company. The bullion was
from several properties, among them
being the Hydraulic company, Fair
view Mining Company, and the Mauli
and Mattly lease on the Great West
ern. In speaking of the improve
ments in the camp, Mr.. Bartlett said;
The Hydraulic company is now
working with three giants and it is
believed that they will install more
in the fall. Since the company has
been incorporated it has spent over
$4,000 in improvements. The giants
are taking out between $500 AMI
$500 a day apiece and with this gool
showing a dividend will probably b.
declared in June. | think that the
Round Mountain Mining COMPANY
will declare a dividend at the same
time.
THE Daisy people are contemplate
ing putting up a mill of their W on
the company workings and will de-
velop the Madigan lease, as M,
Madigan, who is now managing the
property, will turn the lease over to
the company. The Solid Gold lease,
which is being operated by Cy Johr-
son and associates, have the money
in the bank to install a mill on their
ground.
THE Paulson and Blaisdell lease
on the Antelope still have their won
derful showings. Mr.. Paulson has
left for Denver where he will pur-
chase machinery for a plant. SO they
can do some deep developing. The
entire party attended the annual
meeting OF the Hydraulic company
yesterday, Mr.. Olive and Mr.. Wilson
with his wife and child leave tom1r-
row for San Francisco for a short

Mexico Enjoys a
Boom in Mining

Lately there has been a noticeable
increase in interest in many of the
mining camps, and particularly in
Guanajuanto, as well as many others
of the republic of Mexico. This is
cue to the fact that many indications
OF good ore have been encountered in
widely different sections of Mexico;
also to the Introduction into the re-
public of large sums of foreign coin.
Within the past year there has
been considerable change in the min
ing situation in Mexico. Much new
and modern machinery has been
brought to the different large and
best known mining camps. This is
particularly true as to Guanajuato,
which has indeed received the largest
consignment of any. Many of the
roads leading to mining centers have
been put into condition to decrease
The cost of transportation of ores to
railway and from there to the smell
ters. The recent extension of the
Mexican Central road into the very
heart of the Guanaiuato mining dis
trict and with the completion OF the
Mineral Belt road, Guanajuato will
lead the entire camps of the republic
in railroad advantages. While at q
tremendous cost, nevertheless ulti-
mately at a great profit to all con
cerned.
Never before in the history of Mex
leo have there been so many repre-
s~entatives of foreign capital in the
country as in the past few months,
and naturally on this account many
mining properties have changed
hands. But this change, encourage
ing though it is, is not the most i'm
p%ortant feature of the situation. A
few years ago mining properties in

ROUND MOUNTAIN
HYDRAULIC RERORT
ANNUAL MEETING REVEALS AT
FAIRS OF COMPANY IN
FINE SHAPE.

At the annual meeting of the
round Mountain Hydraulic Com
,any, held at its Offices in Tonopah
yesterday, 1t was shown that the
ompany had expended for improve
lents alone a sum close to $125,0O0.
his sum is enormous considering
hat the original money that was to
ave been expended was estimated at
$4,000. Most of the money spent
as come from the stockholders OF
he company and this alone shows
he faith placed in the Round Noun
ain workings.
The old officers and directors were
elected, with the exception of Capt.
Thatcher, who, owing to his absence
Tonopah and Round Mountain,
could not give the necessary atten-
ton to the affairs of the company,
and Geo. B. Thatcher was elected to
his place. The officers and directors
are: j. P. Lotus, PRESIDENT Thos.
Wilson, vice-president; C. o. Olive,
secretary and treasurer; George B.
Thatcher, James r. Davis and Henry
J Bartlett, directors. Mr.. Bartlett
will also act as assistant secretary
and treasurer.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1908-05-09

the republic went begging. This was
due to the decline of silver and the
number of semi-fake mining D
ties that we're foisted upon the MAJ
ket.
The interest in Mexican mining in
vestment across the border and the
influx of foreign capital has changed
this condition. Now any good prop
erty, be it prospect or highly devei-
oped, finds a ready sale, provided 1t
is offered for what tits really worth
and on reasonable terms of payment.
A few years ago mines were much
less merchantable articles; the own
ers for the most part, if they were.
anxious to sell, were willing to pay
large commissions and give options
Of considerable time. But now they
offer much smaller commissions and
in most cases refuse to give options.
This has had the effect of changing
the nature of the mining market to
some extent.
In the sale Of a mine the mining
promoter has now to compete with
other promoters in the same business.
He has to go into the open market
and find the capital, and often, when
he has the capital, he has tt take the
risk of the mine being sold before he
can get the capitalist and the mine
owner to agree upon the terms or
even before he can get them to-
gether.
All this has had its effect upon the
mining market in Mexico and it is
doubtful if ever again owners of min
ing properties there will be willing TO
give options for any length of time,
for their experience has taught then
that in most cases the option is to the
benefit of the promoter and not to
that of the owner.-Mining Record.
