GOLDFIELD DIVIDENDS
FOR TWELVE MONTHS
AMOUNT PAID RUNS BEYOND
EXPECTATIONS
over a Million and Half Dollars Re-

Of More Than Four Thou
sand Day

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 3.-During the
year 1908 the mines and leases of Gold
field district alone paid in dividends
exactly $1,57S,5OO.
In other words, during each day of
the year there was more than S4324 pay
able to various shareholders, coming
as absolute velvet.
And this in spite of the fact that
the properties of the district were idle
practically three months at the begin
nlng Of the year, owing to labor trou-
bles. Otherwise the total would have
been in excess of $1,000, 900.
Heading the list of 1908 dividend
payers is the famous Engineers lease
on the Florence, which distributed
among its handful of stockholders
$4,000. Next is the Florence Gold
field, with $4,000.
Taking the two years together the
total dividends amounted to iust
$3,923,984, headed by the Consolidated
MINES company. with over 100000, anC
the Mohawk with $5S6,00O
Had not the profits of the merger
gone into the 100000 mill now oper-
ating the years dividends would have
been as heavy from both companies
as they were in 1907. The DIVIDENDS
promised for 1909 by the Consolidated
run up into the millions.
Here is a table showing the com
panies in Goldfield that paid dividends
during the past year, together with
the months in which the velvet was

BULLFR0G PIONEER
SHIPS TWO CARS TO
SHELTER AT NEEDLES

GOLDFIELD, Jan. ga carload of
h1gh-grade ore was shipped from the
BullfrOg Pioneer mine last week to the
Selby smelter.
Another shipment will start about
Monday, this time to the smelter at
Needles. The shipment will consist of
two carloads, according to reports, one
of high and the other Of what the
Pioneer people call grade ore. The
best will run better than 500 a ton and
the lows grade will run $35 a ton
I'VE are going to try and make the
record breaking lease of Nevada said
j. X. Bryan, manager of the BullfrOg
Pioneer Leasing company.
When the main working shaft is
down." continued the mana ger, land
we get under the ore body we ought to
be able to get out 200 tons a day. I'm
der the present circumstances, handi-
capped as we are-being compelled to
handle ore first from the Winze and
then through the shaft-we are doing
pretty we'll to ship two carloads a
week"
The shaft is being pushed down as
rapidly as possible by three shifts of
good miners.
On Thursday the shaft men got into
softer formation and probably now
make between five and six feet a day.
This changed formation includes the
dark red tale that is associated with
values in the Wine, and the mine
manager would not now be surprised to
get commercial ore in the shaft before
the point for cross scouting is reached.

PRoSPECTORs ENCOUNTER
ALMOST PURE MAGNESIA

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 3.-Another dis

may result in the establishment of a
new enterprise at that place, or at least
in the production of a mineral hereto
fore not found in this portion Of the
mining country. In running a tunnel
into the hill for the purpose of pene-
trating one of the great bodies Of ma

ton, vast deposit of almost pure
magnesia has been exposed.
The tunnel has been driven a distance
of something over fifty feet and for a
considerable distance the bore is en-
tirely in the snowy white mineral
which occurs in the formation in the
form of stalactites. A large sample of
white mineral has been brought to

The magnesia is of a remarkable de-
gree of purity and there are apparently

Richest Silver=Lead Ore Seen in a
Year Comes from Hawthorne Country

M ONOPAH, Jan. 3.-The richest sill
Ver-lead ore that has been seen IN
Southern Nevada for a year is on
exhibition at the First National bank
at Goldfeld. The ore was received a
lew days ago from a new strike on
the Alamo lease on the Lucky Boy
group OF claims, located some six miles
north of Hawthorne, on the Bodie road.
In tunnel driven on the lead a winze
mas been sunk to a shallow depth.
where seven feet of ore running at the
rate OF 40 per cent lead and 700 ounces
IN silver was opened.
Picked pieces of the silver ore. when
broken off the quartz, appear to be al
most solid metal A new plant of ma
chinery is being installed and a new
working shaft will be sunk. The mine
has been making regular shipments
for nearly year from Thorne to the
Western Ore Purchasing company's
sampler at Hazen. Those who have
inspected the mine say that it will
prove a bonanza and that a daily OUT
put of $4,000 worth of ore can be main
tanned beginning with the first of the
year.
Adams & Miller of Hawthorne and
Nina own the Lucky Boy group, anc
J. T. Hubbard of Boston owns the
lease.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-01-04

Mr.. Hubbard was one of the owners
of the famous Combination mine, which
was purchased by the Consolidated, and
he is still director of the big mer-
ger. Nearly year ago he came west
looking for a mine, and Travelled over
this section of the state and portions
of California adjacent to Nevada. He
finally decided that the Lucky Boy
was what he wanted at a valuation of
$35O,000, of which sum $4,000 was paid
in cash. He failed to meet his second
payment at maturity and Miller and
Adams resumed possession of the
ground. compromise was entered
into and the Boston man secured a
lease on portions of the estate where
there was the best showing He has
been working a large force.
The discovery of the Lucky Boy is
one of those finds that happen in any
mining country. For forty years the
stage line from Hawthorne to Bodie
and Aurora passed over the Outcrop-
ping ledge, and it was known that there
was plenty of lead in the quartz. Two
years ago the ground was located by
couple of prospectors, and right from
the surface ore that paid was mined
and hauled in a few ton lots to the
depot. Miller and Adams secured the
mine from the Iocators on payment of
100000.

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 81. A. Lucy is
at Helena making the survey for the
Broken Hills mill. The company is
sinking the vertical shaft to the 300
foot point to open up the ore bodies
that have been developed in the 100

being blocked out in both the verti-
cal and incline shafts, much of it of
high grade.
Shipments are not being made Of
more ore than is required to take care
of the operating expense, the remain
der being held in reserve for treatment

handled as fas as possible, and it is
expected that part of the plant will
be in operation in three or four months.
Further mill tests of the ore are being
made, and the company will have COM
plete information regarding the most
practical methods of treatment before
the plans for the mill are completed.
Returns from the last carload, received
during the week, went at the rate of
$11S.60 a ton.
