CONDITIONS ARE BRIGHT
AROUND BATTLE MOUNTAIN

1.-THE mining conditions in the vicin-
much better than they do at the pres
ent time said C. II. Snow, a promi.
nent operator, to a Lovelock Review
man Wednesday. "Of course if money
was plentiful more properties would
be working. Notwithstanding the short
age of ready capital, the mine owners
and operators, as a rule, in our section,
are going ahead and altogether the out
look is exceptionally bright for the
coming year.
Mr.. Snow is en- route to San Fran
cisco, and he stopped over in Loveloek
to transact some important business
matters. In speaking of the section in
which he is operating, about eight
miles west of Battle Mountain, Mr..
Snow stated that the Glasgow & West
ern company, which is owned by foreign
capitalists, was being extensively and
regularly worked by a big force of
miners and that very encouraging re-
suits were being obtained.
On the Golden Era, which is owned
by Mr.. Snow and associates, over 1000
feet of work has been accomplished
which has resulted in exposing an i'm
mense tonnage of milling ore. The
Golden Era company will install a
mill at once for the treatment of the
product from their property. The mill
will be equipped with fifteen stamps,
but for the present only five will be
used. Mr.. Snow says that as soon as
the machinery has been installed and
is finally put into commission consid-
cradle activity is looked for.

WILL BUILD SPECIAL MILL
FOR NATIONAL HIGH GRADE

A specially constructed mill for re-
ducing the high-grade ore of the now
famous National mine in Humboldt
county is the latest project in that part
of the country.
The machinery for this "high-
grade" mill is being especially built il
Salt Lake City from plans furnished by
l.. d. Hubbard, manager of the Whine
mucca assay Office, and when installed
the plant will be under his supervision.
The mill is being built on the pan aras-
ira system and only ore that assays
from 81 a pound and upward will be
handled.
Heretofore the rich ore has been
brought to Winnemucea by automobile,
crushed at the Winnemucca assay office
and then resacked and shipped to the
smelter. As the greater part of the ore
that is being shipped is almost one
half gold, it was deemed advisable BY
w. s. Gundaker, president of the Ma
tional Mining company, from whose
property the largest output of ore is
coming at the present time, to reduce
the extremely rich ore to bullion at Ma
tional and ship the pure metal. OF
course, it is not a big plant which will

to reduce the high-grade material.

TRIAL MlLLRUN GIVES
LEASERS GOOD RETURNS

The fifty-six tons of ore run through
the Cyrus Noble mill at Searchlight
by the Chief of the Hills leasers net
ted an eight-pound brick valued at
$2100, says the Bulletin. A saving Of
90 per cent is claimed to have been
made and great credit is due j. A.
Delameter and his assistants at the
mill.
The ore in running close to $40 a ton
went considerably higher than had been
expected, while the extracted gold was
of such f~neness as to cause comment.
The ore milled is what has been classed
as second grade and sorted out from
the shipping quality.
Twenty tons of ore averaging better
than 800 were forwarded to the
Needles smelter Wednesday. In con-
~nection with this shipment it is re-
lated that the last few sacks contained
some of the very best ore so far en-
countered. Lacking a few sacks to
complete the wagon load a miner was
sent into the face with instructions to
hustle out a couple of wheel barrow
loads. %Slamming his pick into the
streak he opened into a pocket which
caused even the hardened chloriders to
grow enthusiastic.

purchased the half interest of A. w.
Crittenden. Mr.. Crittenden went to
Needles yesterday to be present when
the last shipment is sampled. After
returning here he will visit ON the
coast, and later on may take hold of a
leading local property, a lease on
which he is now negotiating for.

MINES PAY MORE THAN SIS, 100000
DIVIDENDS IN FIVE MONTHS Or lvO'

To pay dividends a~ggregating the
large total of $25, 9,657 in five months
of 1909, despite continued low metal
prices, is the record achievement Of so
American mines and metallurgical
works. From reports made to the Min
ing World it is learned that these so
corporations have distributed in divi-
dends since their incorporation the
fabulous sum of over half a billion dol.
lars-to be exact ,513. This
has been done on an outstanding capi-
talization of s5o5, ,76s, a retura
equivalent to 103 per cent. Surely this
is a splendid argument in favor of in.
vestment in legitimate mining and
metallurgical enterprises.
In addition to the above, eight securi-
ties holding corporations paid during
the first five months of 1909 the sum
of ~$5,ss6,145. To date these corpora
tons have paid $91, 054,46I, a return of
20 per cent on the issued capitalization
of $3l1,271,725.
OF the so mines and metallurgical
works paying dividends in 1909, Sc are
gold, silver or lead properties, and they
disbursed to shareholders $10,926,7 us.
Since incorporation these properties
paid out $132,O73,343, a return equiv
alent to 10 per cent on the outstanding
$50, 1888 shares capital. OF these
56 corporations 80 are operating prop
critics in the United States, and con
tributed so far this year ~s5,s52,460.
and since incorporation 500, 1871 $3.50, a
return of as per cent on the $l24.495..

This week the difficulty between HON.
err Wilson,, the owner of the Keane-
Wonder mine, and Z. H. W%edekind, who
was suing for a part of the stock, was
entirely eliminated, removing one other
obstacle from the path of the perfect
working of the mine.
The terms of the settlement were not
made public, both Mr.. Wilson and his
attorney, Rufus c. Thayer, desiring not
TO make them known at this time. The
case was to nave been tried in the fed
eral court in Carson City, June s, but
this will now be unnecessary.
Negotiations were opened between
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Wedekind in San
Francisco, some time ago, by which 1t
was agreed the litigation could be set
tied, but upon coming to Goldheid
Wedekind demanded something addi-
tional to the original agreement. After
a consultation with his attorney, Will
son agreed to the added demand, and
the matter was entirely settled y%ester-
day.
James +. Dennis, as the attorney for
Wedekind, conducted the negotiations,
and with the signatures of Wedekind
and Wilson one of the worst features
of the litigation involving the keane-
Wonder has been removed.
Wedekind was suing Wilson for a
half share in the interest held by Viii
son in the Keane-W Wonder mine, claim
ing that he was a partner of Wilson 5
and therefore entitled to some consider
alton. Wilson bought the mine from
the original locator several years ago.
The settlement of this suit outside
of court leaves but two others which
will have to be decided. One of them
is the suit of J. r. Elgan against Viii
son for 100000 shares of stock, which
Elgan alleges is due him for services
rendered according to a contract with
Wilson. Wilson claims that Elgan did
not properly fulfill the terms of the the
terms of the contract and refuses to de
liver the stock.
The other is the suit of Receiver
Wildes, of the Hickey banks, 10 have all
of the stock which was held by the
State Bank and Trust company as Sc
curity for a loan, returned to the bank,
that it may be applied to the benefit Of
the depositors. Wilson had repaid part
Of the loan when the banks failed, but

COPPER PRINCE DISCLOSES
RICH VALUES AT SURFACE

Searehlight, New, June S.-Work in
the development of the Copper Prince
mine at Eldorado Canyon is being
rapidly advanced. The working shaft
is now 40 feet deep, said depth being
attained in 80 shifts, although the
rock is probably the hardest in the
whole district.
This property was formerly owned
by Dennis j.. Callahan and Clark Nj.
Alvord. These parties recently dis
Barndale, the well known oil and gas
magnate of Pittsburg. Development
of this property will be earnestly
prosecuted and ere long the Copper
Prince will be numbered among the
producers.
This mine is located ~one-quarter IF
a mile south of Nelson. The ledge is
over 100 feet in width and is a fssure
IN syenite and monzonite. All through
the ledge matter there are myrIads OF
seams and stringers of calcopyrite ore
varying from one-fourth to nine inches
in width.
At a depth of 25 feet the ore ran SO
ounces in silver, $50 in gold and Il

Cooper Curb and Mining Outlook
The regular quarterly dividend OF
80 cents a share has been posted by the
Goldield Consolidated Mining eon-
pany for distribution July 81, the
transfer books to close June 81 and to
reopen August 1.
At the same session of directors,
Mr.. George wingfeld, who had been
serving the company as its vice presi-
dent. was elected without opposition,
to the presidency, a vacancy In the
chair having been occasioned by the
resignation of United States Senator
N;xon. That the mantle would fall
TO the shoulders of Mr.. Wingfeld a
been generally conceded, and that At
meets with the approval of every IN
~terest from the Pacific to the AtlaEtic
has been attested in many ways. No
one, perhaps, is more conversant with
conditions at the properties or at the
plants being operated by the company,
and, upon the ground as he is, Gen
eral Manager Mackenzie recognizes
that he must be a source of material
assistance TO him in the direction of its
affairs.
While declining to go into a lengthy
statement, President Wingfield says
that at no period in the exploitation oil
the company's estates have they re-
vealed so great a volume OF wealth.,
and that if there is any departure from
the present dividend during the year
it will be reflected in an extra dlvl-
dend, although the directors them
