dark hollows of the wood he had lain
wide eyed, thinking. When day came
he had cooked his breakfast and there
after sat watching the havoc of the
storm through the window. Hours
passed thus before the fury of the
wind had spent itself. At length he
rose, threw open the door and stood
looking out upon the wind whipped
foliage and the drab desolation of the
fog. Then he threw on his mackinaw
coat, picked up his gold pan and climb
ed down the slope. Beneath all other
problems must lie the sordid problem
of his daily food. He had uncovered
a crevice in the bed rock at the end of
his trench the day before. and now he
scraped a pailful of the soggy gravel
it contained and carried it back to the
cabin.

and threw a log on the fire. He alb

YANKEE MEETING HELD.
Proposed Consolidation Matter Goes
Over Till Tomorrow.

There was little doing out of the or
binary at the annual meeting of the
Yankee Consolidated Mining company
yesterday afternoon. The old board of
directors was reelected and the propo-
sition to consolidate with the Mountain
View and other Dubois properties was
put over as special order of business
for an adjourned meeting, to be held
tomorrow afternoon.
1t is around this proposition that the
greatest local interest centers. 1t will
be remembered that a proposition
emanating from the majority interests
in the Yankee to double the capital
stock and pay the increased shares for
the Dubois properties did not meet
with favor at the hands of the minority
and that a counter proposition, coming
through that contingent was turned
down by Mr. Dubois. It is recognized
that the properties owned by Dubois
are valuable to the Yankee, and there
is a growing sentiment that an under
standing of some kind, looking to the
contamination of a deal, viii be reached
at the meeting tomorrow. The meeting
would likely have been held today, only
that the BIackbird company's annual
is scheduled for this afternoon. The
Blackbird being a Dubois company,
made it incOnvenient to hold both meet
ings on the same day, particularly as
the Yankee proposition is likely to
bring out a great deal Of discussion.

GREAT ORE BODY CUT
IN THE FRIDAY MINE

A letter from Superintendent d. c.
Williams of the Friday cOmpany'S lead
mines in ElkO county, Nevada, reached
the local offices yesterday and brought
good news concerning the manner in
which the ore bodies are responding TO
the energetic use of pick and drill. A
previous report showed that he had
two feet of shipping ore in the face of
his upper tunnel, while he now states
that the entire face is in ore that av-
erages % to 80 per cent lead, while the
sorted ore averages so per cent of the
black metal. Within the past few
days he has cut into and through a
cave that resembles assure. only that
it lies horizontally instead of standing
in a perpendicular position. This cave
is big enough for man to crawl along
in and, as it shows ore as far as it has
been explored on either side Of the tun-
mel. the superintendent figures that he
has reached a point with his tunnel
where there is an immense deposit of
ore, one that simply ignores the regular
ledge boundaries or walls.
Mr. Williams reports. also. that the
lower tunnel is now all in a fine milling
grade of ore, but the face has not yet
been extended far enough to bring it
under the point where L high-grade
body is making in the tunnel above. He
expects to reach that point very soon,

CONCENTRATES
ROLLING OUT
Boston C0nSolidated'S Man,
moth Mill Is Now Down to
Business.

All day yesterday the first 250-ton Sec
ton of the Boston Consolidated com
pany's mammoth milling plant at Gar
field was turning out copper concen-
trates and the word from MetallurgicaI
Engineer A. ]. BEETLES, the man who
constructed the works, was that every
thing was moving along as though the
machinery had been in operation for
months. The try-outs, which began
two or three days ago, were all COM
pleted and the feeding of the regulation
charges of ore was commenced Satur-
day midnight. Within day or two
the second section will be placed in
full operation and during the following
few days section three will be linn
bered up and gotten down to business.
From that time on section after sec
tion will be added as rapidly as the mill
crews are secured and trained to their
duties until the entire plant, with its
capacity of 5000 tons of ore per day, is
in full running order.
In the meantime, and while all this
is being accomplished, Engineer Bet
ties, who, with pardonable pride, de-
clares that there is no finer milling
plant in the world, will clear away for
the construction of the second unit of
5000 TONS with a determination to
complete it before the end of the pres
ent year.
President Samuel Newhouse and
General Manager Lafayette Hanchett,
who are due to reach London today in
time to attend the annual meeting of
the Boston Consolidated company, the
main corporation, tomorrow, Will re-
ceive the glad tidings by cable that the
new mill has entered upon its regular
career and there is no question but that,
by the time the shareholders gather,
the cables will relate to them just what
is being accomplished in the matter of
extraction. To be able to do that with
in a few hours after the first regula-
.tion charges are fed is trick that is
not often accomplished with entire sat
isfaction i'm the arrangements of new
works. but Engineer BEETLES knew from
the tests made in the original expert
mental plant that the new one would
perform in precisely the same manner.
The plant stands as lasting monument
to his ability and experience.
