FRACTION AND FLORENCE
NOT IN conflict

Combination Fraction has moi reinqushed its lease on the mill Of
the NevadaGold6edR Reduction company, and although me I'LL Is %
being u at its full capacity Of 90 tons per day, the Fraction is daily
running some ore through the mill. No figures are available from n
local management of the Combination, the information that tn o.
pany maintains its lease o the reduction works MILL coming from
other sources. The Fraction management maintains its policy o secrecy.
There has been q rumor to the effect that the Combination FRA
ton had been practically closed down due to the fact that tn ooid
field Florence had discovered that the Fraction had been extracting re
from Florence territory, and that the Florence company q only e.
Gently discovered this fact. The rumor is untrue, however, IS Flor
ice officials have always had daily access to the Fraction workings
when they so desired, and the boundary lines are 81 well defined Ia
there could be no mistake a to territory limits In fact, the Fra
ton workings on the various levels have been stopped a few feet m
side the Combination and Florence boundary lines, in order that there
might be no question as to the ownership of extracted ore, since an
agreement some months ago between the two companies, when 1t was
found that the Fraction had been encroaching upon Florence terri
tory, and an unprospected block Of Fraction ground was given to the
, Florence, and a block of Florence where the trespass by the Frac-
ton had occurred was turned over to that company.
, The Fraction is working its regular shifts, and is blocking out
, ore reserves, and extracting some ore. 1t is not a dead one,
despite the criticism that may be accorded the company for being 80
'stngy'' with information.
On the first of the coming year, General Manager Stark will be
superseded by Engineer Chas. Wi!kerson, of the Daisy.

WILL NOT
Be PROSECUTED

d. r. Hughey, the former Goldfeld
broker, will not be returned TO Gold
field for trial. He was arrested in Los
Angeles late last week by under Sheriff
Catalan on an indictment returned in
this county over two years ago charg
ing him with having uttered fictitious
paper, but he will not be prosecuted
This decision has been reached by the
district attorneys Office, after an in.
yestigation of the evidence agaius.
Hughey, which showed that a convic
ton in the case is very improbable.
Under Sheriff Catalan had arrange
to go to Carson to secure from the
governor the papers necessary in bring.
ing about the return of the prisoner 70
Goldfeld, but, at the last hour, it wa,
decided to proceed no further with the
matter. The Los Angeles authorities
holding Hughey, have been notified ard
the erstwhile broker will be released
from custody.
Hughey gave the brokerage firm of
Lane and Hurd a check for SOM 81, 900,
in payment of an admitted obligation.
The check was turned down by the
State Bank and Trust company and the
charge and indictment followed. It has
developed that Hughey had been allow
ed by the bank people to overdraw LIS
account, therefore, in a trial, he would
be able to show that such had been the
case, and, with such evidence, doubtless
prove that he entertained no criminal
intent when he uttered the check.

TO
Be RE-OPENED SOON

Shortly after the first of February,
1910. the Nevada Keystone mine at
Sandy. Nevada, will be reopened on
account and equipped with all
necessary machinery for extensive oper-
atoms. A crusher, Huntington mill,
amalgamation and cyanide plant will be
installed, and it is estimated that a
sum approximating 100000 will be
spent in equipping mill and mill for
the successful handling of low grade
ores. The control Of the property IS
held by Theodore A. johnson of Los
Angeles, and it is understood that Mr..
johnson and associates are now pre-
pared to carry out all their plans as to
equipment and development Of the
property.
George Rubach is now working the
tailings on the old dumps with = small
cyanide mill, and is paying so cents a
ton royalty, meeting with success in
his operations. His lease expires Febru-
airy l, and at that time the property
will be taken over by the company. A
small mill suitable only for high grade
ores is now on the property. There ~
a large tonnage Of $6 to $40 ore block
ed out, and the new mill will be con-
structed to handle this grade of ore.

The Big Twins

~ OLDFIELD has the greatest gold mine in the United States.
Tonopah has the greatest silver mine in the United States.
~ The former mine is only about three years old the latter only
about eight years old.
Neither mine ranks the highest for aggregate dividends paid, but
both are paying greater dividends at present than any other mines
of their class. As compared with other gold and silver mines with
larger total dividends to their credit, the Nevada mines are infants
in years, but at the rate they are now paying it will be but a few
years before they lead all others in total dividends q s well as in year
~ rates.
The dividend declared for Tonopah mining yesterday, was %
cents per share, with an extra of 10 cents, making a total disburse-
ment for the quarter Of $35OOOO. The same amount was paid in the
three previous quarters, consequently the total for the year is $1,4OO,
600. r a grand total for the mine of $5,300OO0. Taking into con-
sideration the short life Of. the mine and the low price in silver, this is
a wonderful record.
About a year ago, one of the most influential mining journals Of
the east printed an article from the pen OF a mining engineer claim
ing to be familiar with Tonopah mines, in which he stated that T0no-
pah mines could not be run at q profit with silver around SO cents
and he predicted an early closing of operations in that district. The
article was a distinct shock to the mining investment fraternity, and
Tonopaa shares made a sharp break, from which it has taken a long
time to recover. The News denied the assertions made by the I'M
out that Tonopah mines could run and make a small profit with silver
at IS cents The fact that the Tonopah Mining company has been able
Ia nav &. 100000 in dividends the past year beside adding largely to
the betterments Of the mine with silver rarely above 81 cents, shows
clearly who W right in the analysis of the situation. Tonopah mines
ae bigger and better than ever they were in the camp 8 history ana
they give evidence now of a prosperous existence for an indefinite
time.

$ll5,OOO IN WEEK

The Tonopah mines, for the week ending December 18th, made
a total production Of $1l500O, az figured from ore sent to mill. Tho
Tonopah Mining company miled 1850 tons to mill, the Montana OF
Tonopah 97 tons, the MacNamara 800 tons, the West End l2O tons
and the Midway 80 tons, the total tonnage treated for the week being
1857 tons. The Montana Of Tonopah treated its ore in its mill at
Tonopah, the balance being On. to the Tonopah companys mill at
Miners.
This latter mill during the week ending December 6 reports that
a n average Of SS of its 100 stamps wered dropping continuously, crush.
ing 1900 tons of ore, of an average value of $40 per ton. The ship
ment consisted Of SO bars Of bullion, valued at $4S 900, and $1,000.
pounds of concentrates valued at $1,000, making total shipments for
the week totals $4,000. An average extraction Of 80 per cent is re-
corded.
In the Montana of Tonopah mine 200 feet of nw ground was
broken, in the West End 65 feet, in the Tonopah Mining company sol.
Figures a to the footage broken in the other mines of the district are
not available at this time.
The 30samp mill Of the Tonopah Extension company is nearly
completed, and steam pipes have been installed all through the build
ing 10 that installation work will not be delayed by cold weather. Work
is now in progress o. the 35foot level of the workings, where the or
dump is being tapped, and will be broken down into ar chutes, max
ing the handling of the dump very economical
On the Jim Butler property six sets of leasers, well financed, are
actively working, some of them taking out ore in their development
work. The leases have been working such a short time, however,
that Of If them have had time to complete their planned develop

ORIENTAL SUIT SOON
heard in COURT

Michael Drum, one of the men who
developed the old Oriental mine, is in
town on business connected with his
suit against Stenson, Barrett & Co. of
Los Angeles, whose agents relocated the
Oriental last year and started work
upon it, despite the claim of Messrs.
Drum and Donovan that the assessment
work for 1908 had been done, and hence
the Stetson, Barrett & Co. relocation
was invalid. The Stetson crowd got out
a carload of ore in September and ship
ped the same, whereupon Mr.. Dunn Sc
cured an injunction preventing them
from doing any further work on the
property. The final hearing of the case
will be in Judge Stevens department
of the district court December 20.
Messrs. Drum and Donovan are doing
their usual assessment work IN the
Oriental estate at present.
MI. Drum reports that the new ma
chinery for the Bonnie Glare mill has
arrived, and is now being hauled from
the railroad to the mill and will be in
stalled at once. A carload Of lumber
and a carload Of poles arrived with the
lumber, the latter for the purpose OF
completing the 14-mile electric power
line that is being run from the Nevada
Goldfeld Power company line that is
being run from the Nevada -Goldfeld
Power company lines to Rhyolite, to the
Bonnie Clare mill and camp.
There are a number of mining men
looking over the Gold Mountain district
with a view Of securing properties for
development, and this with the large
amount of work now in progress gives
the camp promise of great activity DUR
ing the next year.

were out of season, but all those men
toned are grown in abundance and in
almost perfection, al samples brought
back by some of the party will testify.
The ranch is presided over by A. c.
Hayes and wife, who are hospitality
itself, and who, naturally, were loud in
their praise of Southern Nevada elm
ate for agriculture and horticulture.
Mr.. Hayes stated that the land of the
Armagosa company had undertaken to
reclaim was just as good and the elm
ate was just the same as that of Pah-
rump, and with plenty Of water, would
grow exactly the same variety Of crops.
Messrs. Jennifer, Lockhart, Stoddard,
Patrick and Chambers remained at Ash
Meadows and spent the better part Is
two days in making a thorough ex-
animation of land and water conditions,
and they are satisfied that the Arma-
gosa Land and Irrigation company has
planned one Of the largest and most sue
~cessful reclamation projects in the en-
tire west. Complete details of the err
cheering plans of the company will be
fled with the proper state and govern
ment officials the first Of the year, and
upon acceptance, the company is in posi-
ton to proceed at nee with the Install
alton of an irrigation plant for the first

a week looking oven what is believed
to be a big placer field in the Bonnie
Clare district. They have returned to

Goldfeld will before many years be
upon the main line Of the Santa Fe ons
of the greatest railroad systems in .he
world. This seems to be the logic Of
events; as figured out by the Salt Lake
Tribune, which says:
The Tonopah & Underwater railroad
is a Santa Fe feeder connecting at
Ludlow, and the projected GoldAeld 8
Ely road, is a continuation Of the
Tonopah 4 Tidewater. If the Gold.
field & Ely is built, and everything
seems to 70 indicate, then the Santa
Fe will be into Ely, Nevada, headed
straight for Salt Lake City. Today
there is more evidence that the Sents
Fe will be into Salt Lake over it's own
tracks within five years than there
was five years ago, that the Western
Pacific would connect Salt Lake with
San Francisco.
Through to Salt Lake.
The reaching of the Santa Fe, nnde,
the names of the Tonopah & Underwater
and the Gold6eld & Ely, into Ely, Ne
vada, has given rise to the report that
the Santa Fe will not stop at Ely, bu;
will open up the rich Deep Creek min
ing country IN the Utah-Nevada state
line and then follow the solid ground
around the southern end Of the great
salt beds and come into Salt Lake.
The Nevada Northern runs from Ely
north to the Western Pacific at Bull
and then on to the northern line OF
the Southern Pacific at Cobre. Thi!
road is generally understood to be the
property Of the G~uggenheims. From
the northern line of the Southern Pa
cifc, just west of Great Salt Lake
probably from Wells, the Hartman in
~terests are projecting a line north init
the Twin Falls district at Bull that
without doubt, will go a few miles far
Their north and connect with the Ore

who went to the scene Of their op
erations Friday morning, are back and
are more than pleased with their trip.
Among the party were Mr.. and Mrs.
J. p. LOTUS, Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Bry-

the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad,
awaiting them with their private car to
entertain the party during their visit,
and also to lend any professional as
sistance their general knowledge of the
proposition might sfford. The party
was royalty entertained by the railroad
oflcials and their stay made as enjoy
able and profitable as possible. Auto
mobiles had been sent down in advance
that the party might thoroughly inspect
and pass upon the land and water re-
sources Of the vast tract which the
Armagosa Land and Irrigation company
had taken over.
While the engineers were going over
the land some of the party, including
the ladies, took an aut0 trip to the
famous Pahrump ranch, some thirty
miles distant. Although the Pahrump
ranch is less than $50 miles south of
Goldfeld, entirely different soil and
climatic conditions prevail, for here was
found q semi-tropical vegetation Of the
