GUGGENHEIM TALKS OF 4
ALASKAN DEVELOPMENT

Guggenheim syndicate for developing
Alaska, Mr.. Guggenheim said:
"As soon as the Alaska railroad is
completed, which will be by the end of
next year, there will be an thrush to
the new country in many ways equal
in Importance to the early influx into
California during the gold-fever days.
The future of this great empire now
being developed for the United States
is certain. American capital and Amer
lean men are doing the work. | have
spent many years studying this prob
lem, and l make the statement here
after a personal investigation in the
field that the great mining develop
ment of the world in gold, silver, cop
per and tin and coal will in the future
be in Alaska. / know that these met
ais exist in large quantities and great
richness there, and all tina necessary
is transportation lines to take the PEG.
pie there and carry the product back.
This will be provided by the compile.
ton of the Copper River railroad in
the southwestern district. This rail
road will reach the rich copper mines
recently secured by our joint interests
in the Bonanza field. The coal fields
of Alaska will also be reached by q
spur of this railroad, and l look to see
IA great reduction in the price of coal
furnished to the people on the Pacific
coast.
"There is a mistaken idea that min
ing in Alaska can only be conducted
during the short summer months. This
is true in placer work, hut the future
developments will be largely quartz
mining, which can be carried on under
ground the entire year. There will
also be developed in Alaska enormous
agricultural wealth after the establish
ment OF railroad lines and other facil-
ities.'

WELLINGTON DISTRICT WILL
SHOW IT'S COPPER ORES

~Yerington, New, July 21.-Branch II,
Smith. official solicitor for the board
of mining commissioners, was in town
during the past week for the purpose
of collecting specimens for the state
mineral exhibit to be held during the
session of the American Mining con-
gress, which convenes in Goldfield Sep
TENDER 81.
Mr.. Smith met with the Yerington
Commercial club at a special meeting
held Saturday evening, and it was de
cided that the Yerington exhibit be
left to a local committee, as it was
thought by taking a little more time
the committee could secure a much bet
ter exhibit than could Mr.. Smith. Those
composing the committee are: Mayor
Fairbanks, chairman; Geo. F. Willis,
secretary; H. Pilkington, v. c. Ber-
nard and E.. II. Whitacre.
The foremost mining men of the
world will be in attendance at this con-
gress and a good, large exhibit from.
this district should mean much to the
camp, and every miner, prospetcor anu
business mar should appoint himsci1 a
committee of one to assist this commit
tee in making the Yerington exhibit

New York, July 22.-Daniel Gu
genheim, president of the American
Smelling and Refining company, who
recently celebrated his birthday, issued
a few thoughts upon the completion of
his annual report. He made some re-
marks about the lead business as it is
now, and about the gold business IS
he expects to find it after the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate completes its
work of development in Alaska. Mr..
Guggenheim said on the subject of the
baser metals:
81 have just completed the annual
report of the American Smelling and
Refining company, and the first yearly
report of the SHELTERS Securities com
pany, and have no doubt that the
stockholders will be highly pleased
with the years work. A large sum has
been added to surplus, and the regular
dividends paid in a period of general
depression in business. The large bus
mess of the smelling company in lead
is a sure indication of the condition OF
business affairs throughout the coun-
try. The surplus stock of lead piled
up during dull times has been entirely
wiped out, and the sales every month
now exceed the production. This con-
firms the many statements made by
the steel people that they are having
remarkable business. 1t is an economic
fact that steel, lead and copper are SO
interviewer that a large demand for
one metal naturally follows to the
next. Now hat the demand for steel
and lead has shown such a remarkable
increase during the past few months, ]
look to see the demand for copper
equal the demand for the other two
metals. The electri6cation of the rail
road systems in the large cities Will
also increase the demand for copper. =

AUSTIN MINES MAKING
SENSATIONAL SHOWING

the tunnel and the Frost shaft, have
produced a profound effect in Austin.
So many years had passed since this
sort of. wealth had come from Lander
Hill that people here had fallen into
the mistaken idea that the ore vaults
were exhausted. But the revelations
made by this first original work in the
granite heart of Lander has dispelied
that illusion and the old timers are
now talking of the unlimited ore, posi-
bilities of the various underground see
lions here with which they are famil-
lar.
cts twenty years since we saw
such ore come from the Mines" is the
common remark. When it is remember
ed that this h~igh-grade was struck
with only twelve feet of an upraise on
a vein that was considered barren by
the operators in former years, it may
be seen what enormous possibilities lie
in the extensive mining that has been
outlined by the Austin Manhattan
company, and which will soon be under
full Roadway.
In speaking of this strike, Walter
w. wishon, general manager for the
company, said: "This rich vein cut in
our excavation at the Frost merely
shows that Lander hill is prolific with
veins of high value. 1t is simply a
when we go deeper and open up al
greater depth some of the famous pro
ducing veins of the past"
Cyanide for Austin Ores.
What will probably be the solutio'
of the milling process for Austin ORES
has been discovered in the system
known as the electro-cyanide process
devised by John R. Parks of Spokane
Mr.. Parks is now putting up a big
plant at Cobalt, Ontario, for the treat
ment of those famous silver ores. Th'
process, with notifications, has been il
vogue IN mexico IOT some tluey WHeI'
silver ores, similar to those of Austin
have been treated at a very s~atisfac
tory profit.
With this system the ores are crush
ed to a 200 mesh by the use of tub
mills. A very high percentage of saw
ing has been made in the tests on Aus
tin ores and the probabilities are tina
this system will be adopted for Austin
If so, the plan is to start one uni
of the milling plant as soon as possible
The Parks system virtually makes f;
free milling ore of ~sulphides. 1t take.
the sulphide ore and turns out the pure
bullion. 1t is this latter feature, to
gether with the high percentage of saw
ing, that specially commends it tc
operators who figure in every direction
for every particle of economy an6
profit in the mining and milling of diff
fcult ores. L.. w. HAWORTH.

Especial f~ftsFonucnce.J e.
Austin, New. July 1.-THE problem
of developing a satisfactory amount Of
power for mining and milling opera
tions in this csnp has been as CON
stantly in the consideration of the
Austin Manhattan company as the
problem of millisg itself. The hydro
electric project, with the Big Creek
water power. as 1 basis, has been thor
oughly worked osi and a practical and
eficieut plan deigned. 1t has been
the policy of this company, however,
as with every ther large operating
company in Nevada, to have more than
one string to its bow. 1t has been
proved more than once at Goldfeli
that great economy would have been
realized, if some power auxiliary to
transmitted electricity, had been avail
able.
Accordingly, for the past month,
General Manager W. w. Wishon has
had under advisemen: a gas producer
power plant which it is said will de-
velop power almost as cheap as water
power. 1t is known as the Hoyt gas
generator and the fuel used is Califor-
MIA crude oil. Gas engines of a power
full type are used, directly connected
with electric generators, from which
the power is distributed to various mo
tors as required by the mining and
working operations at different places
ON the company S property.
1t will be but a short time before the
company will need 400 horsepower
This by the gas producer system would
call for foul engines of 100 horse pow
err each, alternating with a like number
Of generators. Space for this plant is
easily available in the splendid power
house already erected near the portal
of the tunnel. Connections with the
compressor and the machinery in the
stamp mill would be exceedingly sim
pie.
This power system would call for q
large tankage capacity for oil at the
mill, and special arrangements at Bat
tie Mountain for the transfer of tn.
oil from Southern Pacific cars to those
of the Nevada Central. Mr.. Wishon
with J. NJ. Hiskey, general superinten
dent of the Nevada Central railroad
was at Battle Mountain a week age
looking over the ground and planning
for these special accommodations. The
Nevada Central tracks can be lowered
at a suitable place, making it possible
to transfer the oil from one ear tank to
another by gravity.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN TUNNEL
WILL SOON REACH VEIN

A report from Joseph Mayer, super
intendent Of the Goldfeld Granite
mountain property, at Willow Springs,
states that the big crosscut has been
in highly altered granite for the last
FIVE or six feet. This ground is much
softer than any part of the tunnel for
100 feet and is streaked with iron
stains. The last hole in the heading Of
the tunnel gave even stronger evidence
of a neal approach to the vein.
The Randolph company, working ON
the same vein as the Granite company,
have made their first shipment which
returned 4 ounces gold, 81 ounces silver
and 80 per cent. lea d per ton.

HARRIS MILL AT MAZUMA
Is SOLD BY THE SHERIFF

The Harris mill at Mazuma was sold
under execution last Saturday by
Sheriff Lamb to satisfy a Judgment for
$500 of the Tonopah Lumber company.
The entire judgment was for $1,000
and costs, suit having been brought
for the full mount. The mill com
pany paid the $1,000 but failed to pay
the costs of the suit, the result being
the sale under sheriff's sale. The
property was bid in by Bonnifeld 6
Bandon for the plaintiff company. The
Harris mill is the big custom plant
which was only recently completed at
Mazuma.

ENTHUSIASM IS RAMPANT
FOR MINING CONGRESS

field, will look upon = mineral display
Of more sensational aspect than the
one prepared and forwarded by Super
intendent Jack welch Of the Mason
Valley.
The exhibit was forwarded yester-
day, and consisted of 200 pounds of
specimens, showing the prevailing or
characteristic minerals of the mine,
from the surface to the very lowest
workings; the gossan croppings and
the e~arbonates Of the upper levels,
the pyrite, '~chalcocite, ~chalcoprytc,
and cuprite. Cubes of native copper,
sawed out of the rough as broken down
in the face, various specimen chunks
of the ideal smelling grade revealed in
enormous tonnage at the several levels,
with the proportions of iron and lime
so nearly perfect for economical smelt-
ing. Every feature Of the ore is repre-
sented in this exhibit, which in add
tion to the low and medium grade spe-
cimens, includes so much high grade
that there is not less thar $50 pounds
If red metal in the exhibit of 200
POUNDS.
Mr.. WEIGH allowed several mining
men at Yerington to inspect this ex-
hibit before closing it for shipment,
and the excitement created vas equal
to that which usually attends first re
ports of a Nevada gold strike. In .
very few minutes the whole town WAS
in a fever of excitement, and the eyes
of many citizens of that place were
opened to the real merits Of Mason
ores. The citizens of this place are fl
miliar with the treasury vaults of the
great property by personal inspection,
and we are glad that the outside world
is to get at least a fair idea of the
same through the eyes of the gentle
men who compose the mining congress.

MAYFLOWER INSTALLING
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

Pioneer, July 22.-The Mayfower
Consolidated has been a little on for
the month of June. The affairs of the
company have been unsettled fos that
period and for that reason the results
are considerably below the figures for
Nav. The value Of the bullion put out
during the period in question is given
at s6,450. The bulk Of this is gold;
silver is almost an unknown quantity.
The saving in the mill attained the re-
~markable standard of 90 per cent. A
total of 365 tons were treated during
the month with a value according to
the returns of around $40.
The new electric equipment Of the
property has arrived, or rather was ex
pected to arrive today. 1t consists oil
machinery complete for power at bott
mine and mill. There is a 40 h. p
motor for the hoist; a 40 h. p. motol
for use in the mill; a 10 b. p. motor 10
use on the shaft pump, and a sinai
~ h. %. machine for use on the waite
circulator.
The Mayfower mine is in exeelien
shape at this time. Superintendent
Foster is making a careful s.u~.' OF tn
underground situation. some little dc
velopment work has been done In tn
new ore shoot opened up during tn
last month. Details are lacking on TN
matter, but it is understood that tn
promising body is developing IN
manner such as is to be wished for.
Leasers on the Mayiower are, 2

A STATEMENT.
MIR. Emmons Thinks Well of the
Burns Proposition.

S. p. Emmons, Chairman OF the
finance committee to raise funds
TO build the electric railway, has
issued the following statement:
"Our committee have had sew
eral meetings with Mr.. Burns and
others and have gone over the en-
tire proposition now before the
people carefully. Have investi-
gated the bonds, and the mortgage
that is to be given to secure the
bonds: have examined the sub
scription blanks that are to be
subscribed; the method of making
the payments, and the contract
that will be filed with the sub
scriptions.
eve believe that in considera-
ton of the benefits to be derived
from the road and from the loca-
ton of the power-house, car shops
and general offices Of the company
at Mexico, that Mexico ought to
subscribe for the amount allotted
as her share and we urge every
citizen who has the prosperity of
the town at heart to subscribe
what he can towards financing
this road. Having the power to
enlarge our com ittee, we have
added the following members to
the list j. II. Lane, John Kemp,
Geo. Hall, Edwin locke, j. C..
Mundy, Judge J. A. Guthrie and
John " Brown.
eve urgently request each of
these gentlemen to so arrange his
affairs that he can devote a few
days to this work and we also re-
quest that each citizen speedily
make up his mind how many
bonds he will subscribe for and
not put committeeman to the
trouble Of calling a second and
third time.
eve urge upon all the i'm
portance of closing up this worl;
promptly as Mr.. Burns informs
us that he has his arrangement;
made for beginning work hero
next month If we are ready.
1--WE are convinced that the
proposition as a whole is an
honest and practical one. That tn,
subscribers win have the road
