the second payment is made.
So far there are 80 subscribers
to the stock throughout the
county. The location for the
bank has not yet been deter
mined.

ESCORT CLEANUP
ACROSS DESERT
Especial to the Bonanza }

GOLDFIELD, April 9.-Bullion re-
turns from the Round Mountain Min
ing company's property for the month
of March, $4,000.
Cleanup for the last fifteen days of
March, $4,000.
Bullion production of the company
for the year just closed, approximate
ly $350,000. Month just closed the
biggest from the standpoint of gold
bars in the history of the corpora
tion.
This briefly tells the story of the
Round Mountain, operating north of
Tonopah, one of the bonanza corpor-
atins of the west, and steady divi-
dend payer. A consignment of bull
lion arrived yesterday, the last of tbs
March cleanup. and opens a new
era in the production of the property.
The company has been operating its
mill at Round Mountain one year this
month, and the bullion production
last month was the largest in its his
tory. with the last fifteen days $24,-
900. or approaching $1,000 day fol
that period. In the opinion of Mr.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-04-10

]. P. Lotus, of the company, the an
nual report will show not far from
$35O,000 total bullion production of
the company for the mill year.
There has been paid so far in divi-
dends $12S,000.
And this is only what one might
term a starter. The huge electric
power and light line into Round
Mountain and Manhattan is now be-
ing forced as rapidly as money can
do the work.
John Wellington Finch, the well
known expert and geologist, left yes
terday morning in company with Sc
well Thomas, the mining engineer.
for the Round Mountain property.
Mr.. Finch will make a complete geo
logical survey, and is considered one
of the best qualified men in the coun-
try in this line of work. His report
will determine apex questions, show
rock and vein formations, etc., and
furnish an excellent guide for future
development work. Mr.. James r.
Davis is now on the ground gathering
data for the annual report, which
will be made to the stockholders on
April 10.

To Toast "The Progress of Peace" Before
Hamilton Club of Chicago
Secretary Dickerson Says International
Arbitration is the Flower of Our Time
---BeIiev,es. Hague Conference Most
Notable Event in Worlds History.

The years 1854, 1872, 1874 and 1888
found similar resolutions introduced.
"The treaty which most profound
ly Influenced the ideas of the world"
continued Mr.. Dickinson, twas that
of Washington in 1871, which provid-
ed for four arbitrations. In 1868, dur
ing the preliminary negotiations, Mr..
Adams assured Lord Russell that
there was mo fair and equitable form
of conventional arbitrament' to which
America would be willing to submit"
The secretary of war said that Lord
Russell was accredited in the begin
ming as saying that England would
not be disgraced forever If foreign
government were left to arbitrate
whether an English secretary of state
has been diligent or negligent in the
discharge of his duties. "Mr. Adams
rose again t great height and saw
ed the treaty by getting his col
leagues to make an extra judicial but
effective declaration that certain
claims ought to be excluded from
consideration, Mr.. Adams declaring
that he would be assuming a great re-
sponsibility, but that he did not do
so as an arbitrator representing his
own country, but as representing all
nations.
These long painful but successful
negotiations" continued the war sec
retary, during which so many irri-
tating questions arose, which resulted
in the end of such great achieve
ment, fully attest the fixed purpose
of both nations to use every effort to
avoid conflict of arms The next
in Importance wefe the arbitration
held in Paris in 1898 in the fur seal
case, and the arbitral tribunal which
decided the Alaskan boundary dis
pute?"
Taking up the declarations that
had been made that certain questions
cannot be Settled by arbitration, he
said: Although it has often been
said that questions of national honor
cannot be submitted to arbitration,
experience has shown that the term
national honor is variable and in
some degree shadowy, and that many
questions which, under former
code, would have been catalogued un-
der national honor which have been
submitted and settled in this way,
even though at the outset, as was
said by Lord Russell in regard to the
Alabama claims, such a submission
was thought to be incompatible with
national dignity"
Mr.. Dickinson discussed the great
work and the outcome of the first
Hague conference, which he said was
by far the most notable event in the
history of the world, which was at
tended by all governments having
diplomatic representatives in st.
Petersburg. The pope. while omitted
from the conference, expressed his
sympathy with the movement in a
