GOLDFIELD CON. IS
PILING Up PROFITS
November Production Shows
Value Close to Three Quar-
tiers Million.

Goldfield, New, Dec. 29.-Total pro-
ductiOn OF 19,2S4.7O tons of ore con-
tanning S72445O.63 was made by the
GOldfield Consolidated Mines company
during the month of November. &C
coTding to the monthly report just sent
to the directors by General Manager
j. II. Mackenzie This ore contained an
was mllled with an average extraction
of $500 per ton, or 50 90 per cent,
The total net profit to the company
was $499,I6E7 or S25.92 a ton. The
total cost of mining, development,
transportation, milling, office and gen
eral expenses was 6.S22 a ton. In
cluded in the expense was 4,354 feet
of development work.
The most notable showing was from
the ClermOnU shaft where were pro-
duced 2,422. Z tons containing $751;
az. 20, an average OF S147 so a ton.
The production from the ClermOnt dur
ing the previous month, October, was
2,301. 80 tons containing 1925, 9O4. 25. an
average of SsS a ton.
All of the equipment for increasing
the capacity of the mill from approx
mately 900 To SOC tons a day is now
in place and in successful operation.
Within d few days it viii be running
at full capacity, and the net profits
above normal performances of the past
Will be increased in ratio with the en-
larged equipment.
The Hampton stOpe on the COmbina-
tiOn is now thoroughly accessible from
all levels, and important extensions of
that mammoth ore body have recently
been developed. New Slopes are being
opened i'm the central portion of the
Combination mine, and increased values
have been found in the southern end of
that property.
Some of the richest Slopes in the Mo
hawk have been allowed to remain
idle for some time on account of the
very rich ore produced by the Jumbo
or CiermOnL shaft workings.

Chief CON. MINE
IN PAYING CLASS
Starts Shipping in October,
Shows Large Earning in
November.

A characteristic example Of how good
mining in the Tintic district will bring
results is made by the first annual re-
port of President Fitch to stockholders Of
the Chief Consolidated Mining company
The Chief Consolidated company took
over the property of the Little Chief Min
ing company and some contiguous prop
critics in February, 1903; the first good ore
body was found on the 1,4O0 level Of the
mine IN October and in that month the
nrst profits accrued, amounting to
Sl02.3I The profits for November were
Sl5,W6O9, and Mr.. Fitch anticipates that
the rate of earnings will be gradually in
creased during the coming year.
Since the report was issued-the period
covered being from February 16 to No
vember 30-shipping ore has been en-
cOUntered on the 1,600 level; the same ore
body is due to be opened on the 1900
level and it viii be opened on the ], 500
level as soon as the shaft can be sent
down and the necessary drifting accom-
plshed.
Shipping from the new ore body was
commenced October 20, and up to No
vember so the net returns from the smell
tel for that ore alone were S27,2l21
The present depth of the shaft is
1875 feet. Drifting has been done during
the year on the 500, 800, 800 1000 /, 400
and 1,600 levels. Much promising ground
has been developed on the lower four
levels and several hundred tons of lead
silver ore have been shipped from the
/ 600 level

LATEST FIND MAY
CHEAPEN RADIUM
Richest Known Body of Pitch
bIende Is Discovered in
Colorado.

Denver, Dec. 29.-According to an as
say made today by Herman Flick, pro-
fessor Of chemistry of the Colorado
School of Mines, the richest known body
Of pitchblende i'm the world mas been
discovered in a mine at Central City. Colo
The discovery was made December Il
and the assay made by Professor FleCk
shows, it is asserted, that the ore runs
almost treble the highest percentage of
all uranium ores ever discovered.
AS a result of the find it is considered
possible that the demands of the scientific
world for the precious radium, which sells
at a fabulous sum per ounce, may soon
be satisfied by Colorado.
The strik1 was made by the regular
force Of men engaged in taking out gold
ore.
The assay, it is claimed, ran So per cent
pure, whereas the previous best record
was 30 per cent pure.
The mine IS owned by Bishop Matz of
Denver and is leased by him to Philadel-
phia capitalists.

UTAH MERGER TO
BENEFIT HOLDERS
Only Experts Competent to De-
termine lust Ratio, Says
Walker.

Discussing the alleged fact that holders
Of % per cent, more or less of the capital
stock Of Nevada Consolidated are pro-
testing against the terms Of consOlida-
ton with the Utah Copper and will refuse
to turn in their stock for exchange,
George L. Walker, copper expert of the
Boston Commercial, says:
only those who have a technical
knowledge of the extent of the developed
and possible ore in the various proper
ties, its average grade, the relative cost
OF mining, concentrating and many other
points of fine detail are competent to de-
eide whether one share of Utah Copper
Is T-ci tn two shares or two and a quar-
ter shares of Nevada Consolidated, and
event those possessing all of this knowl-
edge so far available could not be posi-
tive that they did not err in reaching a
decision. In view of the fact that it viii
be of immense benefit in many ways
to the stockholders of all of the COM
panies to bring about this combination, it
would seem advisable to accept the judg-
ment Of those who are in d position to
know most of all these technical cOndi-
tons and permit the consolidation to be-
come operative as quickly as possible
The companies which are being COM
bined are at present producing at the
rate Of l6G,U00000 to 175,090,000 pounds OF
copper annually and after the COntem-
plated enlargement OF reduction plants
they should be able to put out approx
imately 10000 600 pounds of copper at an
average cost Of not over nine cents, re-
sulting in net earnings Of approximately
$40, 100000, or about $3.50 a share, on IS
cent copper, and S14, 600, or nearly 81
share annually, on lJ-cent copper. This
should cause the market price of the
consolidated COmpany's stock to fluctuate
between $50 and $50 a share, and under
exceptionally favorable conditions to sell
at SlG0 or higher.
1T is understood that Utah Copper

from so cents to 70 cents a share quar-
terly a rate of 50 annually

WORK IS RESUMED IN
STEPT0E LEAD MINE

Work has been ordered started on
the property Of the Steptce Lead and
Copper company, in Duck Greek dis
tTiCt and it is planned to have develop
ment work continued throughout the
coming year. The company is con
tTOlled by William Fl. Tfbbals and A.
J. Davis of this city. 1t owns a large
group of claims covering strong
ledge which OutCTOps to the width of
forty feet on the surface. From some
of the surface workings has been
taken ore carrying 43 per cent lead and
better than 4 per cent copper, with
some silver. A tunnel which was start
ed last year has cut stringeTs Of high
grade lead ore, although it has yet
some distance to be driven to reach the
main ledge
On account Of the better lead mar
ket and the improved smelling facili-
ties in the district, owners of the Step
toe company are anxious to get their
property in productive form

CHEROKEE NEVADA is
AGAIN WORKING MINE

The Cherokee Nevada Copper company.
a Salt Lake corporation, which owns a
promising property near Iieth, New, has
resumed operations at the mine. Just
before work was closed down last year
a 100-foot shaft in the south end of the
property opened an 1S-inch streak - ore
from which was made a carload shipment
showing values of S. ounces in silver to
the ton and ~ per cent copper. Good
ore had at an earlier date been encoun-
tered in the main workings and had been
developed to some extent. when decline
in the price of metals caused cessation OF
the work. Work for the present is to
be confined to the newer shaft, and in
the event that the making of further
shipments is found to be practicable it
is likely that a more vigorous campaign
will be inaUgurated

DRAFT PROTEST
AGAINST TARIFF
PHILIPPINES ASSEMBL YMEN
CONSIDER RESOLUTION
PAYNE BILL AGAINST ECONOMIC
ADMINISTRATION
Memorial to Congress Declares Enact
nent of Measure viii Cause Loss
of Revenue, Endangerng
Government
tBy Associated Press.l

MANILA, March 27.-Floor Leader
Queson of the majority in the Phlllp-
pine assembly presented a resolution
today embodying a memorial to con-
gress opposing the Payne bill.
The resolution recites the provisions
of the bill and then declares that It's
enactment would be ''prejudicial TO the
interests of the Filipino people, espe-
cially so far as it concerns an economic
administration"
The resolution then continues:
1.-THE approval of the bill would pro-
duce a great loss of revenue for the in
sular treasury, so much so that II
would be impossible to sustain the
present government. The financial con-
dition of the country is such that it
would be impossible to impose new tax
alton, direct or indirect"
The resolution next approves reso-
luton adopted in May, 1908, which asks
the admission of sugar and tobacco to
America without any concessions here,
and insists upon the Adoption by con
gress of that resolution.
In conclusion it protests respect
fully but theoretically" against free
trade for America here and limitations
on Philippine products in America.
The resolution also declares that the
Philippine legislature cannot in any
possible manner devise new means for
producing an income to maintain its
government
The resolution has been under discus
sion for several hours and seems to be
favored by the majority. A vote is eX-
pected later in the day, after which
the resolution, which is a joint one,
will go to the Philippine commission.
That body, it is expected, will decline
