PIONEER LEASE PROBABLY
GOES TO PARENT COMPANY

IN the wealth of the camp, was en-
tirely dissipated by subsequent mine
operations and expenditures, and with
the failure of the First National Bank
of Rhyolite, the officers of which were
plotting the affairs of the lease, the
leasing company was about slo,OOo 10
the bad.
The Pioneer lease shaft is 275 feet
deep. The lowest level on which any
appreciable amount of ore has been
developed is $50 feet. The greatest
tonnage came from Slopes above tne
21O level, where the enrichment was
most in evidence. Presumably, devel-
opment is needed to place the property
in a position where a milling plant up
ON the ground would be ~justiiable, but
had such a plant been erected there In
the early days of the lease 1T would
have been a paying proposition.
There are those who argue that the
| Pioneer has only been scratched, ano
that additional development will again
bring the property into the producing
class. with plenty of ore for a Local
milling plant of some pretentions.
Further, the parent company mas
advantage of the depth attained in the
lease shaft, and of numerous latera
workings from which work may bt
continued to certain objective points
the merits of which were underestl
mated by the late, lamented manage
ment.
The parent company also has TIT
advantage of splendid equipment o:
machinery, capable of development u
a depth of perhaps 1000 feet, and cap
able of an immense tonnage OF or
through the lease shaft. In addition
there is the equipment of the Richard
Garberg lease which has a shaft low
800 feet; also the equipment and de
velopment on the Indiana and the worl
done by various leasing companie
here and there on the estate, which nov
comprises the original Pioneer, TN
Gold Hills and the Valley View.
So Notwithstanding the d%isappoin'

James Curton, one of Goldfeld s

camp has entered the University of Ne

(Rbyolite Herald.)


After a caeckered career of about
two and one-half years, the Bullfrog
Leasing & Milling company is almost
at the end of its usefulness as a factor
in the progress Of the Bullfrog dis
trict. A few weeks more and the end
will nave come, unless arrangements
are made with the Pioneer Consoli-
dated company for a reduction in the
royalty, which calls for twenty-five
per cent fiat.
This high royalty is prohibitive, ae-
cording to the persent management, and
unless different arrangements are made,
the leasing company will suspend as
soon as the dumps are worked over. The
operations are now confined to the cyan
ide end of the milling plant. No ore
is being hoisted, and no development is
being lone in the mine. The project is
almost at a standstill.
The present management, which as
sumed a debt of about $4,000, has
made good, paying off the indebted
ness, and having money left. What
sum, if any, will be available for dis
.pbution among stockholders, is not
announced.
More than three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in production and
not a penny in dividends, is the record
If the Pioneer lease; a gigantic sue
cess-failure added to the list of disap-
pointments with which the camp has
been blessed.
Conceived in the mind of an untir-
ing prospector, the Pioneer lease be-
gan its existence in a modest way,
aided by a few paltry dollars from
local investors. The wiseacres at once
placed it in the failure column, but the
project turned out in quite a different
manner. The lease made good from q
standpoint of profitable production.
1t leaped from a mere low grade
milling proposition to a high grade
slipper. 1t startled the local mining
men and it commanded attention from
financial interests in all parts of the
country. 1t started a boom. 1t be
came the talk of the land, the stool
jumping from one cent, the orlglna
price, to thirty-seven cents a share
with a strong demand for the issue.
1t invited the attention of million
aire operators, including d. r. Z
Brown and George W~ingfeld, WHIT
purchased a controlling interest in thu
parent ompan from w. j. and R. f
Tobin. 1t likewise invited litigation
as most good mining properties DO
thereby entailing heavy expenditures
for legal proceedings.
It's production made possible thu
first dividend declaration in the Bull
frog district-an innovation, the news
of which was heralded far and wide
indicating that at last the Bullfrog had
brought out a winner.
Now comes the rub. That dividend
the sacred property of the deserving
stockholders, was tied up by litigation
but that was not all; that dividend
which would nave added about $4,000

FREIGHT RATES
WILL BE RAISED

Washington, D. c., July 5-(SpeciaD-
An increase in the freight rates of the
railroads in the southeast is now looked
for both in interstate commerce COM
mission circles and In the commercial
world.
The belief is that before long the roads
in the southeast will file with the in
terstate commerce commission notices of
increases. and that in doing SO the roads
will take the position that thNir ( ets-
ion to give increased wages to theif
men has made the higher freight rates
necessary
At the interstate commerce commission
no official word has been received con-
cerning increases of rates in the south.
But it is well understood that II such
notices come in they will cause no sur
prise to the commission.
The southern roads have not showed up
rates recently, as have the roads In 9TH
er parts of the country At the same
time there is no doubt the roads In
southern territory are behind the eastern
and western roads with respect to
amount of earnings.
Practically all hope of the recovery OF

TAFT CAREFULLY STUDIES THE
SUPREME COURT VACANCIES

The five months allowed Justice Moody
in which to decide as to his retirement
from the bench will not expire until the
middle of November. There is the pos
sibility that Mr.. Moody may take ad-
vantage of the full period designated In
the enabling act passed in his behalf.
This is regarded as another argument
against the proposed extra session.
President Taft, in common with the
remaining justices of the supreme court
Is anxious that the three important
cases scheduled for reargument sthis
fali-the Standard OIL, tobacco and cor
poration tax-shall be heard by a full
bench.
Consequently 1t is not regarded likely
that he will select any man against
whom a question might arise as to
previous participation In these cases. Mr..
Taft will take a full measure of time
to consider the situation from every point
of view before making up his mind as
to new members of the court.
Gov Hughes will be at Sorrento, Me-,
tomorrow to attend the funeral of Chief
Justice Fuller, but no engagement has
been made for him to call at Beverly,
The President will be unable to go to
