Mines and Mining Stocks

the company has spent on its new 1000
ton milling plant to date the sum of
$685., 579.23. He calls attention to a re-
port on the company's properties and
states that the showing makes it evil
dent that the capacity of the mill should
be made 1000 tons instead Of 1000 tons
per day. In addition to what will be
required to finish and enlarge the mill.
he explains that the company is now
in need of working capital, and provi-
sion should be made to pay outstanding
obligations that have been temporarily
taken care of by individual stockhold-
ers.
"A plan is now being considered"
says the letter, ''by which the COM
pany's first mortgage gold bonds may be
made convertible into stock at SO per
share any time before Sept. l, 1912, and
the balance of the 1900, 0G0 authorized
issue thereof rendered available for the
company's purposes 1t is also pro-
posed that the newly authorized stock
may be so issued that $50 shares there
of may be allotted with each subscrip-
ton for one of the company's $1,000
first mortgage gold bonds. This will
leave the company S13,OOO,0O0 par value
of outstanding stock and $2.00O,OOO of
unissued stock. which is to be held for
conversion of the bonds"
Those who figured on the proposition
during the afternoon reached the con-
clusiOn that the move was good one
and that under the provisions of the
proposed deal the stock of the company
ought now to be worth 81 per share.

ONTARIO MINE
DRAINING FAST
Water in Number Three Shaft
Lowering at Rate of Three
Feet Daily.

Water in the Ontario and Daily mines
at Park City is now being drawn off
through the diamond drill holes on the
drain tunnel level, between Nos. and
shafts in the Ontario at the rate of
$500 gallons per minute, and Superin-
tendent Farley L. Williams states that
the water is going down in No. shaft
at the rate of three feet day. Water
is now gushing through three holes, and
the fourth will be connected up in
day or two. While the distance that
has TO be bored through is only thirty
to thirty-five feet, it takes three or four
days to finish a hole. This is because
each hole has to be caSed in order to
prevent its wearing too large to control.
The water yesterday was twenty feet
below the 1,100-foot level and, when an
other hole or two has been driven
through it is expected that five to eight
feet day can be made in the lowering
of the water As it is at present the
holes already made clog up with de-
bris occasionally and have to be cleaned
out with rod made expressly for the
purpose. To prevent wear on the OPP
poside side of the drift from the mouth
of these drill holes, a number of eight
inch pipes have been built in against the
side of the drift.
From the way things are moving, 1t
is possible that ninety days will see
the mines drained and reclaimed.

SEVEN TROUGHS MINES
ARE LOOKING GOOD

Captain o. A. Tibbetts returned yes
terday morning from an extended trip
into the Seven Troughs district, where
he has been looking after things at the
new Tomboy tunnel and the develop
ment of the Hero Nevada Mines COM
pany's property at Farrell, four miles
north of Seven TrOughs.
Like most every other camp" said
the captain, times are a little quiet
in the district, but everything is shap-
ing up for a lively campaign when
spring opens again. A force of abiut
twenty men are grading for the new
mill of the kindergarten company, the
Mazuma Hills is proving up a bigger
mine every minute and the last strike
in the tunnel. mention of which l saw
in your paper a few days ago, is GER
tainly a sensational one. Besides what
the company is doing, several leasers
are making a big showing and there is
no question but what the mine is a big
one.
Nothing startling has been uncover
ed in the new tunnel of the Tomboy
company yet; as a matter of fact, it is
not time, though we have had some
nice assays from stringers leading to
the ledge. We shall have more to talk
about in this tunnel before long.
ION the Hero-Nevada cOmpany's
property. d drift was recently started
south from the eighty-foot shaft on the
Wild Cat. Ia just eight feet the ore
was cut and l want, to say that the
ledge is one of the prettiest you ever
saw i'm your life. On the Little Hero
claim the new tunnel is in forty feet
and the boys have been sacking better
than $500 ore all the time from a
streak ranging from eight inches to a
foot in width. Some of the rock assays
as high as Sl,75O TO the ton and, out
side of the high-grade streak, the rest
of the eight or nine-foot ledge carries
fine milling values. This Farrell end
of the Seven Troughs district is more
like Cripple Creek in its formation
than anything 1 have ever seen in Ne
vada and, while there has not been
enough work done there yet to prove
anything. l am decidedly of the opin-
ion that it Will surprise the natives"

u. S. SHELTER Is
NEARLY DOWN AND OUT

Arrivals from Bingham Junction
state that the United States COM
panys local smelter is gradually get
ting ready to close and that, from the
appearance of things about the yards
it will not hang out till the 18th, as at
first supposed. There is said to be not
more than four or five days more ma
teTial on hand and that no more ore
ore matte is being delivered.
A few weeks ago 400 men were EN-
ployed at and about the United States
company's smelling works. The num-
Der now in service is said to be less
than 350-Hnd, by the end of the week.
according to report, there will not be a
single soul there aside from the watch
men and possibly a few hands cleaning
up the yards and placing the ma
hinecry in shape for an indefinite pc
Rod of idleness.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE
Market Opens Strong With Down
ward Tendency Toward Close.

The week on the mining exchange open
ed yesterday morning with the market be
having well. Toward the close, however.
there wasa strong tendency toward lower
levels and the fear is expressed that j
reaction has commenced. 1t is not be-
lieved that it will last long or that prices
VIII suffer much. The trend of the mar
ket is considered as being in sympathy
with the uncertain conditions still pre-
vafling in the eastern markets. There is
nothing encouraging yet on the local
smelter situation and it is not to be eX-
pected that stocks can continually move
up when the mines are practically idle;
but a change must come before a great
while, and when it does, the present price
of the good stocks will look pretty small.
During the two regular and open board
calls a total of 01,033 shares of stock,
with selling value of S45 1O2.04, changed
hands. Following is the list OF final quo
tations and record of sales made during
the day:
