MANHATTAN LEASERS
ship BULLION BARS

TONOPAH, Dec. 31.-Two bars of
bullion worth $6,440 were received last
evening from the Swanson, Ross and
Lyon lease ON the Earl at Manhattan
and placed on display in the window Of
the Tonopah Banking corporation, hav-
ing been brought in by w. S. Johnson
of the Earl company. In addition
$4,000 worth of precipitates is coming.
This is from a mill run of PA tons of
ore. The bullion weighs 400 ounces.
One of the bars is worth $4,000 and
is the largest one ever to come from
Seldom if ever has there been as
high a percentage of extraction as this,
which was treated at the Peterson
mill. The tailings assayed by R. B.
Kidd, of this city, give returns with a
maximum of $1.55 a ton. This means
an extraction of about 81 per cent.
Others that give 80 per cent are con.
sidered good, and " the Montana
Tonopah, which is one of the nearest to
being a perfect mill in the country,
gives little above that percentage.
The cleanup will pay all the ex-
penses of the lease from the time it
was started and will leave some fine
velvet money for the leasers from
which they could declare a dividend
to themselves if they cared to. Gilbert
C. Ross and A. J. Lyon of Tonopah,
are two of the ~leasers, the other, Mr..
Swanson being in charge of the work.

The cost of determining the guilt of
Patrick Casey was about one-tenth the
amount entailed by the Sheridan trial.
But five days were consumed in de-
termining the fate of Casey, while n
the Sheridan case, thirty-six was the
number of days. However, in the lat
ter case had the necessity not arisen,
on two occasions, of calling for add
tional talesmen from which to complete
the jury, the time occupied would have
been materially less. Then again the
cost of the Casey trial was much less
than the Sheridan hearing because it
was not made necessary in that con
neetion, to bring witnesses from afar, or
employ experts on alcoholic insanity.
At least, as to the latter phase, it was
not done; the state having a stronger
case than in the Sheridan matter; the
defense not being equipped financially
so to do.

mileage of the veniremen and jurymen

bodies, and these workings are supplying all the ore they
are called upon to deliver, the lower grade ore from these
workings being mixed with the high grade from the Cler-
mont. The Red Top vein is being stopped out on the upper
levels, and is being developed in the lower levels, ready for
extraction of ore when needed.
Twenty-seven Million In Sight
The Consolidated has already startled the mining world
during the year with its dividends. Now comes the report
that at the next annual meeting of stockholders, to be held
at Evanston, Wyoming, January 10th, General Manager
John II. Mackenzie, who will soon be succeeded by John
r. Finley, will give an extended report on the Consolidated,
as a result of exhaustive surveys he has made, in which he
will state that there is ore actually exposed in the Con-
solidated workings, above the 750-foot level, worth $27,-
100000. He figures that there are 100000 tons of ore ex-
posed in that territory, worth $500 per ton and which will
yield, after 81 per ton development work has been charged
against it, $50 per ton
Milled All AS It Came
During the second quarter of 1909, there was a notice
able shrinkage in the net profits of the company, this ex-
planned by the company officials as being intentional, due to
the policy that was then put into effect of saving the extern
sive low grade deposits that had been uncovered in the
mine workings. Since that time, low grade ore has been
milled with the gh-grade, thus enabling the various
workings to be practically Cleaned of ore, and obviat-
ing the necessity of going back through the workings at a
later time, and cleaning up the low grade, thus working
the mine twice, in effect. This policy is in line with modern
mining methods all over the world now, and greatly pro-
longs the life of a property, at the same time more COM
pletely utilities the entire resources of the ground.
The table published above gives the official output for
the year 1909. The figures for December, of course, are
estimated, on the basis of the preceding month. The table
shows all of the output of the mine, save $40 tons shipped
early in the year. The rather high cost per ton is explained
by the fact that the "expense' column contains every item
of expense connected with the mine, such as mining, mill
ing, development, Office force, salaries of officials, and
bullion taxes, as well as acquisition of certain mining prop
erty in July. The table shows that the average extraction
for the year was 1880 per ton, and the average expense
about 1910 per ton for ore actually milled.

STAR MAY
give LEASE

The Tonopah Bonanza says: Plans
are now under way for the granting OF
a lease on the North Star ground to Nj.
Duyal. who years ago acted as engineer
to the and later was connect
ed with the Standard company.
A meeting of the directors and Off
GERS of the North Star was held here
Tuesday evening at which time those
connected with the company sifignified
their approval of granting the lease
on that section of the property on
which is situated the mine and hoist
ing apparatus.
The matter will have to be approved
by the First National Bank of San
Francisco as this concern holds a $751;
600 note of the North Star company.
II is understood that a stipulation VIII
be entered into, by which the San
Francisco bank will receive all royal
ties to apply as a means of hquidating
the indebtedness and proper credits to
be made on the note.
Mr.. Duval, who at present is a res
ident of Oakland, CAL, is visiting IN
Idaho, and is expected to return to his
home within a short time. He has hnan
ced the matter, and when the lease
is granted will start work on a large
scale. ~As he is quite familiar with the
mine workings, and with a knowledge
of the ore bodies that exist on the com
pany property, the new proposition
should be a financial success for those
interested in the project.

In an article apropos of the forth
coming Democratic banquet at Reno,
the Carson News facetiously remarks
about a Goldfeld citizen:
"Talking about Democrats reminds
ms of Richard Smith Miner, attorney by
profession, and a man who claims to be
a Jeffersonian Democrat, whatever that
is. The attorney has been a Democrat
eyer since his black 'mammie' down
south in 'ole yirginy' told him that
he was one. Dick likes to attend Demo-
cratic functions and it is a safe bet that
he will slide into the Democratic Jack.

shade of Jefferson and will close with
his stirring remarks of 'The flag fol-
lows the constitution, the appropria-

bet that all the Democrats present win
say Amen.

Goldfeld Consolidated stands at the end of the year
1909, pre-eminently the greatest gold mine in the world.
The Consolidated s position is backed by a dividend record
of t4, 1881, 23s, of which sum 3,2O1 ,23s was paid during the
year, and another dividend of so cents per share, amount
ing to $~1,7SO,00O, earned in 1909, was declared November
18th, and will be distributed to stockholders of record
January 80, 1910. By midnight of December Both, the
Consolidated will have mined 227 1928 tons of ore, and
milled ~226,66l.5S, giving it a gross yield from ore mined of
$S,117,412.S2, and a net profit for the year of $5,91S,O02.27.

So, 1879, 400. s2-this bagatelle being partially distributed in
and about Goldfeld among some 500-odd miners, miImen,
m~achinists, carpenters and other artisans, and a large cler-
zeal force.
Ore Proven at Depth
During the latter part of the year, the Consolidated has
proved the persistency of the ore bodies of the central part
of the camp at depth. In fact, despite the consistent asser-
tions of various mining men that the camp of Goldfell
would "play out as depth was reached, the 750-foot level
of the Clermont shaft during November produced 2,477
tons, containing 1851, 722-the average value of the ore
having been $l47.5O per ton; this production, when actual
stopping operations were only commenced in this level du-
ring November. Stopping has commenced on the 900-foot
level, and on the 1OOO-foot level (the deepest working in
the camp) crosscuts are being sent in to get under the ore
bodies exposed at the 9OO-foot level. All work in the Cler-
mont shaft has resulted in finding the ore bodies approx.
mately where they were supposed to be as judged by their
trend in the upper workings of the mine. That the vein
systems are becoming better defined at depth, and that the
mineralized zones increase in richness, is a most gratifying
development.
Hampton Slope
The famous Hampton stope, that caved in last Septem-
Der, has now been reached by crosscuts from all levels OF
the Combination workings of the Consolidated company,
and the enormous ore body that is there exposed is now
easily accessible. In the Mohawk and Jumbo workings of
the estate there is no dimunition in the size of the ore
