FLORENCE CO.'S PRESIDENT
PRESENTS ANNUAL REPOKI|

President Loekhart Of the GOldfeld
Florence Mining company has issued
the following interesting annual report
to stockholders:
"Sinee December, 1906, all ore
shipped has been from leases, the entire
attention of the company having beer
devoted to installing a thoroughly
equipped and modern twenty-stamp
mill designed for forty stamps later)
for treatment of ores which are already
in sight, and which may be developed;
it is now expected the mill will be com
pleted in October, 1908. During this
time, however, a number of leases have
been operating on undeveloped ground,
several of which have encountered rich
ore bodies, the existence of which had
not been known. The revenue from
royalties ON ore thus extracted has en-
abled the company to pay three divi-
dends of 10 cents per share on the out
standing capital stock of ~1,050,O0O
shares, or a total of s315,000, and also
to pay for construction of the mill and
the purchase and development of a
water supply, which up to June 30, 1908,
have cost $255, 691.35 !. These have been
the main disbursements of the com
pany, and while dividends are not de-
clared at stated times, it is the inten-
ton to continue disbursements to stock
holders whenever the reserve justifies.
'sThe general balance sheet on june
80, 1908, was as follows:

TESTING RoCKLAND ORE

A ton of ore from the Rockland mine
near Hawthorne arrived this week for a
mill test to determine the method of
treatment. The Rockland mine is con-
trolled by the Goldfeld Syndicate, the
first promotion by the Warner-Stewar
company Of this city. On the property
is a dry crushing mill, which has not
proven a success on account of the wet
nature of the ore. The test is to deter
mine whether the mill should be recon
structed or a plant of different type
installed.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-08-15

"It will be seen from this statement
that the company has no debt of any
kind.
"The water supply for the mill is at
Indian Springs, about six miles west
erly from the property. The flow of
water has been developed by a gravity
pipe line about 100, 1000 gallons per day,
which will be more than sufficient for
the present milling plant.

the neighborhood of a dollar a pound.
Superintendent Meikle installed five
machine drills yesterday. He is now

LONDON. February s, 1903.

LONDON. February s. 1905
ONDON newspaper circles are listen
ing to an interesting and circuni.
stantial story to the effect that
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassa-
dor. dropped sl.500.O0O through the sus-
pension OF the Tribune. the two-year-old
liberal daily which quit Yesterday because
of lack of funds. The story goes even
further and says that the paper was COM
PEELED to bring its short career to a close
because Mrs. Reid. who controls the
strings of the ample Reid purse, refused
to sanction a further investment OF the
Mills millions in the precarious venture
1t is said that Mr.. Reid originally in
tended placing his son in the London
Tribune office as soon as that chip of the
Reid block completed his studies ut Har-
ward. But Of late Mr.. Reid and his purse
controlling wife are reported to have rued
the day when they first heard OF the Trib-
une. And with reason. 4 million and
half is no small sum to drop even IL one
is the daughter of d. o. Mills and lives
in one of the finest private palaces In
London.
The Tribune few weeks ago completed
its second year of life. 1t came into ex-
istence with the present English govern
ment and was believed to have been more
or less of a mouthpiece OF the liberal
party. It's principal hacker was Franklin
Thomasson of Crewe. and for his services
to his party those on the inside confident
ly look forward to his being created q
peer before the Campbell Bannerman
government goes out of power. He is
very wealthy, a director of Lloyd's Bank
and financially and actively interested in
many Cheshire industries.
For some time past the Tribune has
been in shaky financial condition Two
weeks before the end notice was given
that unless the hackers were able to raise
more money for a new lease of life the
employees would have to look elsewhere
for employment. Months ago. when mat
tors were bad and the paper steadily drop
ping from $4,000 TO $1,000 week. j. &.
