Considerable work is soon to be done on
the Louisson Exploration company $
properties at Siverado. White Pine coun-
ty, Nevada. about fourteen miles south

done OF late years by the individual
owners.

DEAL MADE FOR
PIOCHE PROPERTY
Salt LakerS Take Over a Half
Interest in the National
Group.

Although deals are being made in the
Phoebe district it is seldom that any news
gets out. One of the latest deals to be
made is the taking over of half in
terest by Salt Lakers in the National
group of claims. four in number. which
adjOins the Mindah-Nevada mine, which

all been drawn and everything is in readi-
ness for the deal to be closed 1t viii be
several days before the final working out
of the plans are completed.
It is said that as soon as this is cleared
up work will begin at once upon the prop

promising in the vicinity and it is believed
by the persons behind the deal that a
second Mendah viii be opened up there
Five distinct veins traverse the proper

Mendah.
In performing the assessment work at
the property last year considerable ore
was opened up. A shaft started on ore
that showed a width of one inch on the
surface widened out to two feet within
d short distance. The ore is declared to be
Of the same quality as is now being
shipped from the Mendah.

SALT LAKE COPPER
TO BUILD SHELTER
Acquires More Property in the
Snake River Canyon,
Oregon.

That the Salt Lake Copper company in
tends TO do some big things in oregon
is shown by the recent purchase Of iron
property there. The company recently
purchased a number of copper claims and
also secured options on a number of 9th
ers. The following appears in the Baker
City Herald relative to the deal:
With the probable idea of installing
smeiter at some future date in the Snake
River canyon the Salt Lake Copper COM
pany has just secured title to what is
known as Iron mountain. located twenty
five miles from WeiseT, Idaho This is
one of the few mines in this section that
carries a large percentage of iTOn-an item
Of vast Importance in smelling ore, and
because Of the fact mining people here
cling to the opinion that the Salt Lake
Copper company is making preparations
for the future. There may be no ground
for this assumption. but nevertheless it is
the prevailing opinion.
Iron mountain has been owned for a
long time by John Seigiven of Weiser
and it is understood that i'm order to OBJ
tain possession of it the Salt Lake Cop
per com pany was asked a good price, the
advance payment of which was a sUbstan-
tial amount.

Mines and Mining Stocks
TRADING SHOWS
BETTER PRICES

An entirely different tone was given the
market yesterday after. the cleanup, ap-
parcntly, of the margin holders the day
before. Prices were better if trading was
not as heavy. Most of the stocks ap-
peared to have reached the bottom for
the time being and We're ready for an up
ward movement For some time there
has been but little support of the market
and as a result prices have declined.
Nearly every stock traded in yesterday
was stronger. Columbus Consolidated was
low i'm the morning. selling al 80 cents,
but in the afternoon it reached the dol
lar mark before the close. Iron Blossom
was better ia the morning and showed
more Improvement i'm the afternoon. Colo
RADIO reached a better price and Grand
Central started up. Sioux Consolidated
was also stronger and better prices were
paid for the stock. Uncle sam was also
in the same class. New York. which was
pounded down TO a low price on Wednes-
day, yesterday recovered all lost ground
and reached the highest price attained
this year Tintic Central was also on
the move with prices getting better.
The total number Of shares disposed of
yesterday was 10000, while the amount
represented by the transactions was S4S,-
61425.

Mining Expenses.

Tie mining expenses were S45Z.-
1901, the milling expenses, $780,. 1895.
and the Manning mill expenses. sI3S.&I.
which makes the total expenses S740.-
412.59.
The net earnings Of the year. s34.-
GO5.f4, and the balance from the last
report, S46,652.21, makes the total avail
able profits, sS0,637.3S. This. less the
construction items due to the slime
plant. S5,60t.5f, leaves the balance of
assets. S75,O29.S1.
The average tonnage of ore handled
was 23,J22 a month. or 753 tons q day.
The average of gold extracted from a
ton of ore was $40. The amount lost
in tailings shows that the ore treated
carried s5.5S in gold and IS cents was
lost The average profit on the ore
was slightly over 90 cents an ounce
The average cost Of teaching the ore
was Ala cents q ton.
Two accidents happened during the
year that caused cOnsidera BILE loss. ON
May s, 1903, eight teaching tanks fell
to the ground. rendering them useless.
The dissOlving section of the refinery
and the assay office were totally de-
strOyed by fire on Nov. 20. 1908.
General Manager George Il. Dern
in his report declares that the Maya
zine vein in the Brickyard mine was
developed during the year and that the
block so far developed contains prob
ably 100000 tons of milling ore. The
only drawback to this ore is that it is
hard to crush.

RECEIVER FOR
OELANAR MINE
Will Wind Up Affairs Of the
Famous Old Producer
of Gold.

Phoebe, New, Sept 16.-Fred FaIkner,
former superintendent of the Bamberger
Delamar Gold Mines at Delamar. New
has been appointed receiver Of the Bam-
berger properties. The mine was closed
on the first of the month. and the mill
and power plant are being dismantled-
The company has debts of nearly SSvVJJ,
but the receiver states that with the
$50 600 worth of bullion on hand and what
he expects to realize from the sale of the
machinery and properties, which has been
ordered by the court he viii be able to
wipe out the obligation.
The Delamar mine has produced in the
past thirteen years nearly Sl3,00elO.
The appointment of a receiver for the
BambergeT DelamaT Gold mine was found
necessary to properly clean up the fl
nancial affairs of the company. 1t was
known ever since the company closed
down that this would he done in order
that all creditors would receive what was
due them.
The power plant viii be utilized in the
furnishing Of energy for the Lagoon re-
sort in Davis county, and is now being
moved there and the mill. hUistS. cars,
tracks and other equipment will be dis
posed of, il is believed. in Phoebe. The
mine owners there will have an OppOrtun-
ity to secure the machinery at much
less price than it would cost to have the
machinery shipped in.

LOW GRADE ORE
LOWERS EARNINGS
Consolidated MerCur Reports
Show Good Surplus in
Treasury.

According to the annual report of the
Consolidated MerCUr Gold Mines com
p5ny, the earnings for the last six
months Of the past year were only
S3.6S0.JJ which was due to the low
grade of ore Encountered. NOtWith-
standing this the company has good
surplus at the end of the fiscal year.
which ended June 30. 1903, which can
tide it over any bad places and until
a better grade of ore is encountered.
In explaining the situation President
John Dern in his report says.
1T remains to be explained, how
ever that the net earnings of the year
were nearly all made in the first six
months. From July to December. 1908.
inclusive, the net profits were 500
524.b2. while from January to June,
1909. inclusive, they were only S3.6S0.5j.
This Is the unfdvCTable feature of the
years results. Had last fails rate Of
earnings been maintained, the year
would have been "a good one, and stock
holders would doubtless have had
dividend before this time. An unex-
pected decline in the grade of the ore.
however, took away nearly all the mar
gin of profit. and during the last six
months it has been struggle to break
even.
THE years developments in the
mines have been satisfactory as TO
tonnage. but very little of the new ore
has been nigh grade The result is
that It has become more difficult to
keep the average up TO a profitable
figure. Other promising territory is
to be pr0Spected during the ensuing
year, and il is TO be hoped that better
results viii be obtained Under eE-
listing conditions we have very close
proposition, and although our gross
output Is large, there is not much left
for the stockholders after the expenses
are paid
The financial statement shows that
the output of gold from the Golden
Gate mill during the time was SOL

ceipts from other sources. Maunfug

gregational parish and in the work 81

spicuouS part.
For several years she served as sec

won from it's members their warm and
loyal regard. She was interested in
books and kept in close touch with the
best literature of the day. In what
| ever pertained to the life of the city,
! in its highest and best sense. she took,
| and held, to the last, a deep interest.
When stricken with the illness when
finally proved fatal, though knowing
from the beginning. what the end must
| be. she faced the ordeal without
murmur, and when the summons came
fell with serene confidence, into thaI
dreamless sleep which kisses down the
| cyclids still
