BIG STORY ON NEVADA CON.
Opens Per Cent steam shovel Ore
Is Ren0rt.

Ely, New, May 29-For the last two
months the Nevada Consolidated has
had a churn drill working on its Sun
set claim, which is on the eastern end
of its estate, Just south of the holdings
of the Hidden Treasure company, and
from all accounts it has developed an
other steam shovel proposition that
gives promise of furnishing a large
tonnage Of richer ore than is now
shown on any other part of its estate.
Nothing has yet been given out Off
cially in regard to the work of the
churn drill, but the statement has been
made by people who seem to know that
large body of sulphide ore has been
discovered which will average in the
neighbOrhood of per cent copper. The
overburden is in no place more than
300 feet thick, while much of it will
not average One-third of that. Hence,
it would seem that another steam
shovel proposition is about to be opened
up.
The Sunset claim lies Immediately
west of the holdings of the Ely Witch
company, which has been idle for the
past two years, but which has splendid
ore developed at a depth of 400 feet
The development of a large body of
high-grade ore by the Nevada CONSOLE
dated in that section of the district
would doubtless mean the resumption
of activities by several companies.

HIGH silver ADDS
SMELLING PROFIT
Should Be important Factor in
Years Earnings of
American.

New York May 29.-Officers of
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany say that the company's business
outlook is better at present than for
some months past. The after-effects
of the expansion of the big metal years
of 1906 and 1907 have worn away.
While the price of lead has recently
declined from about S4.75 to 81. 40, ow-
ing to dullnesS in demand, the high
price for silver has stimulated pro-
duction; so that the company is treat
refineries in this country and Mexico
than 1t did two months ago.
As American Smelling & Refining is
one of the largest silver producers in
the world, the present high prices Tor
the metal should be an important fac
tor in this years earnings The grow
ing production of copper has been
source of increasing profit to American
Smelling & Refining, although the cop
per market has suffered, since Shelters
looks to its income from smelling and
refining charges, and properly speak
ing, is not mining company, although
often improperly clasSed with the
copper group.
The fiscal year, which ended April
80 last, should show between 7 per cent
and per cent on the common stock,
or very close to last years $3,S43,00O,
equivalent to z 6S per cent on common.
Surplus of $4,000, 900 as shown by
the last annual statement, is not large,
when the OO,0OO,00O capitalization is
taken into consideration and while
present earnings give a good margin
of security to common dividends, there
is little likelihood of an increase In
the present rate until the metal mar
ket shows further substantial improve
ment. The excellent earnings which
American Shelters Securities company
promises to show, according to those
in touch with its affairs, brings the
prospect of dividends on its common
stock nearer. Balance for year ended
April 80 last viii be equivalent to more
than per cent on the common stock,
of which American Smelling & Refin-
ing company owns s17,751, 900 value, or
so per cent of entire amount outstand
ing.

BLACK SAND RUNS
Strong IN GOLD
New Rich Placer Field Is Dis
covered in Western
ESmeralda.

Goldfield, New, May ga promising
placer field has just been discovered
through the efforts of Goldfield par
ties near Last Chance mountain, at the
western edge of Esmeralda county,
about due west from Ida. Paintings
show a large quantity of black sand
thickly studded with coarse gold, and
it is estimated that the gravel will
average about $3.50 a cubic yard. The
find was made by John W. MCGEE, a
prospectOr representing Ellsworth &
Stevenson of Goldfield, and the Wealth
erly Exploration company of Omaha.
They have located 80 acres, and will
thoroughly prospect the ground.
About two years ago a story
was brought into GOldfield that
a couple of men had re-
ceived $4,000 by dry-washing
in the neighborhOod of Last Chance
mountain. and MCGEE was one of those
who heard Of it Sometime afterWard
he was sent out on prospecting trip
by Ellsworth & Stevenson and he has
been searching for the placer beds
nearly ever since. Now he has return
ed from his last accommodating tour
and brought back the bacon" in the
way Of rich placer gravel, and is con-
fident that he has located the district
IN which the $42 900 cleanup was
made. Assays from the black sands
recovered by panning show 1896 ton.

HOPES TO SAVE GOLD
IN SNAKE RIVER SAND

Helena, Mont, May 29.-An Idaho
prosDector and chemist thinks he has
discovered a process for saving the fine
float gold in the sands of Snake river
and has organized a company for the
purpose of securing capital TO install
q plant
such a process as the Idaho man
claims to have found is one that has
long been sought, not only by river
miners in Idaho, but in Montana and
other sections of the world.
Paul Johnson is the name of the dis
coverer of the process for recovering
the gold from the black sand. 1t is not
patented. but remains a secret with
Mr.. Johnson. In a preliminary test of q
working model the result is said to
have been entirely satisfactory. The
sand and gravel passes over screens
which separate the black, gold-bearlng
sand from the coarser gravel, after
which it is treated to a chemical bath
which releases the gold. Mr. Johnson
is a chemist and il was through an ac-
cident while experimenting that he
made his discovery. a further test OF
the process is to be made on the coast
before any real mining is attempted.
