TONOPAH FOR YEAR
Big Growth in District Is
Shown by Reports and
TabulatiOns
Sixty Thousand Feet of New
Ground Broken and 2S6,926
Tons of Ore Shipped

Sixty thousand feet Of new ground
was opened in the mines of Tonopah
last year The tons of ore that were
shipped from the district to mills and
smelters footed UP 2s6.s26. According
to the TonopahJ Miner the ore was
worth s7,4SS.5s figuring the milling
ore at $50 a ton, and that which was
sent to the smelter at SEQ a ton. The
shipments to mills included $4,000 tons
from the Tonopah mining company.
49,S18 tons from the Northumberland h,
S5,5S0 tons from the Tonopah- Belmont,
STA tons from the MacNamara, $500
tons from the Midway. $500 tons from
Jim Butler, 3,427 tons from West End
and 450 tons from the North Star, or
279,4S5 tons in all. The shipments to
the smelters. amounting in total to
7.441 tons, came from the MacNamara,
the Midway, the Tonopah Extension.
the West End and the North Star.
The general facts relating to the oper-
ations in the Tonopah district in 1905,
according to the Miner, were as fol-
lows:
Throughout the estates Of the Tonopah mining
company of Nevada, Tonopah- Belmont develop
ment company, Montana -TOn0pah. Jim Butler,
End Consolidated, North Star and Rescue, an
immense amount OF virgin ground has been
opened up, the total new footage broken during
the year amounting to nearly IL miles. This
work is exclusive of operations in the stopes-
While the larger part Of this work has been car
ried on above the 700 foot levels OF the various
mines, great deal OF attention has been paid to
the gaining of depth with the result that the
Tonopah mining c0mpany's main shaft is now be-
low the I.270 foot point. the Tonopah Extension 3
shaft 1850 feet deep and the Desert Queen shaft,
through which the Belmont company Is operating,
is down TO the !, 100 foot level. while diamond
drill holes are being sent down from the lower
workings OF the Tonopah mining company and
Montana -Tonopah.
During the last year the possibilities OF that
section OF country lying 20 the west OF the
heretofore proven have been greatly en-
larged, owing TO the work recently done In the
West End Consolidated Tonopah Extension and
MacNamara mines, which has demonstrated the
fact that the veins continue westward. Another
important development OF the year has been the
finding OF strong ore bodies IN the Belmont on
the 100 foot level and the discovery OF good ore
to the north of the well known Mizpah fault, a
section Of country which prophesied 10 be
barren by eminent mining experts, and which
now gives every encouragement for extensive
work.
From a milling standpoint Tonopah is pretty
well supplied, having three mills with total OF
200 stamps, all OF which are kept dropping con-
tinuously, on ores from mines These mills,
which cost about 81 0O0 900, are strictly modern.
with capacity for treating about 500 tons Of
ore every "a hours and returning an average ex-
traction Of over 90 per cent.

Question Involving Railroad
Point Is Raised in Case

The question of the payment by a
railroad of claims for damage done
to goods In transit before the ship
pers have paid the freight came up
yesterday in the bankruptcy proceed
ings of Kragens before Referee Mill
ton J. Green.
Among the various claims presented
was one from the Santa Fe for freight
charges The trustee for the bank
rupt firm held that the obligation had
not been met owing to counter
claim against the railroad for damage
TO the goods.
The railroad people held that the
interstate commerce commission had
ruled that claims could not be paid
for damaged goods until after the
freight charge was paid by the ship
pers. The railroad people did not
deny the claim of the defunct business
house No decision in the matter was
reached. it being taken under advise
ment by the referee.

TWO STRONG BANKS
MAYCOMbINE TODAY
Consolidation of L0ndon-Paris
and Anglo-Californian Is
Near Consummation
Many Obstacles Are Overcome
in Reaching the Final
Agreement

The reported consolidation of the
London-Paris National bank and the
Anglo-C Californian bank will, accord
ing to authoritative reports. be con-
summated today. The negotiations
which had been carried on several
months were suspended at the time of
the tragic death of P. N Lilienthal
September 8.
They We're again taken up several
weeks ago, and are nearly concluded.
The details of the arrangement have
not been made public. but it is under
stood that the London-Parfs will abb
sorb the Californian, taking over
the majority of the shares in the lat
ter concern at $40. The demand for
Anglo stock was strong on the local
exchange yesterday. $S5 being bid
The directors of both banks have had
many obstacles to overcome before
reaching an agreement First, the
consent of the foreign stock holders
of the Anglo-Californian was hard
TO procure, and there was much hag-
Cling over the price to be paid for the
stock. No stock has changed hands
and no papers have been signed, but
everything points to consolidation.
The Anglo Californian bank is one
of the strongest institutions of its kind
in the west. The capital stock is about
Sz,oVU,OOO and the surplus Sl,OUO,OOO.
The London Paris National bank was
incorporated January. 1884, as the Lon
don, Paris and American bank. In
July of last year it became a national
bank. In the panic of 1907 the Lon
don-Paris was one of the few banks
that did not issue clearing house certifi-
Gates, and it was reported to have
loaned several hundred thousand dollars
in coin to other San Francisco banks
through tho n rin he ~ nj
tai stock is 81 2.5O0. 900 and its reserve
is about $1,500,000.
Who will head the new institution
has not been stated. None of the Of
ficers of either bank has been men
toned.

BANKER RAGLAND WINS
DISCHARGE ON APPEAL
Evidence Held Insufficient to
Convict Him on Charge

r. e. Ragland, former president of
the insolvent Citizens state bank. who
was convicted In the police court and
sentenced to nine months imprison-
ment on charges of carrying a con-
cealed deadly weapon and exhibiting a
deadly weapon, won on appeal yester-
day, Superior Judge Lawlor reversing
the Judgment of the lower court. 1t was
admitted by Benjamin Bloch, who ap-
peared from the district attorneys Of
flee, that the testimony as disclosed by
the record was insufficient to support
conviction. Ragland has been on bail
since he was convicted.
The charge of exhibiting a deadly
weapon was sworn to by I. Paznanskt
who made frequent demands upon Rag
land for money he claimed was due
him at the time the bank became in
solvent
1t was not considered worth while to
order new trial, as the necessary evil
dence to convict Ragland is not OBJ
tainable, in the opinion of the district
attorney.
