MINES GIVE RAILROADS
THE GREATEST TONNAGE

Just n auarter century g our annual mineralo output vase only 100000,
600. widdes of the pick, pan and shovel have since steadily boosted the
amount skyward. until in 1907 the production reached the 2050OO0OOO mark
The year 1908 suffered a decline, but 1909 added a few more millions, and
TN next YEAR or so will see two and a half billions.
Enormous Tonnage.
In onnage comparisons with other industries a clearer idea OF the extent
to which the mining industries have grown al be gained. During the yeH
ending June 80, 1907, the total freight of mainline origin carried by the rail
roads vas s931s4y972 tons. OF this total the products of the mines anounte
d to 476 500 63s tons, or approximately 534 per cent. Properly added to this
is the item of manufactured mineral products, such as petroleum and other oils
bar and sheet metal, iron, pig and bloom, cement, brick and lime, etc, amount
ing to 762s29sl tons, giving a grand total of over 553O00O0O tons, or approx
mately 62 pr cent of the total railroad traffic. This is against about 100000
estry, livestock and all articles of manufacture other than manufactured
manufactured mine products do not refer to the finished articles made of the
minerals and metals; it embraces only those raw minerals and metals extracted
from the rocks by treatment and reduction processes which resemble manu-
featuring.
But a more striking parallel may be drawn: During the same period ap
proximately 237 900 miles of railroad we're in operation in thu United States;
subdviding this mileage among the different industries in proportion to the
tonnage furnished by each we find that som $4,000 miles aree engaged ex-
elusivey in hauling mineral products, and about 10000 miles are hauling the
products of all other industries combined.
Still another comparison: Two million freight cars RAJ over these roads
carrying their freight; 100000 were exclusively handling cargoes of min
eral producers, and 100000 ears satisfied all other purposes.
The railroads were then employing m 1,675Ooo men; of these about
1047O00 were concerned with trains exclusively handling min products and
$4,000 filed all other needs.
The tonnage furnished by mining is seven times larger than that of all
agricultural products; 2s times larger than that of the livestock industries;
5A times that of forest products; Z times that of the manufactured indus
tries, ard nearly twice IS large as all of them combined.

Goldfeld

l.. l.. Patrick of the First National
at Goldfeld said:
81 regret very much to state that
was Informed this morning from
Rhyolite, that the First National Bank
at that place has been closed for liqui-
dation. 1t is a blow to the camp of
Rhyelite and the Bullfrog district, as
it is the only bank at Rhyolite al this
time. The Goldfeld First National
Bank is not affected, as there was but
$40 in business in transit or en- balance
this morning"
w. E. johnson of the Cook bank
said:
"Don't know anything about the
failure of the Rhyolite First National
Bank save that it has been ~closed-for
liquidation, as l hear it. The Bank of
Rhyolite has been doing little business
1t doesn t affect the Cook bank,
as we have only a small matter pending,
and our own reserves this morning
showed so per cent of our deposits"

AUSTIN HANDICAPPED BY
LACK OF FREIGHT SERVICE

Austin Manhattan company on the
Mizpah and Golden Eagle groups south
of the Jack Pot. This work was let to
contractors. On the Mizpah an incline
shaft is going down on the vein. On
the Golden Eagle, contractors are run
ming a tunnel that will tap a strong
vein at 100 feet below the point work
ed in the Borrego and Dalton lease.
Good milling ore, carrying a high gold
content is available in all these work
ings.
The Austin Manhattan company is
taking advantage of the opportunity to
remodel the surface tracking at the
portal of the tunnel. When completed
the dumpage system will have nine
different switches on which to handle
the cars from the tunnel.

WINGFIELD NOW
owns BUCKHORN

RENO, March 24.-George Wingfeld
Monday completed his purchase of the
Buckhorn mine in central Nevada,
which he has been operating under OPP
ton for nearly a year.
The final payment of 500 900 was
made and now the property has been
transferred in toto.
Mr.. Wingfeld and several eastern
associates have formed a closed cor
poration to operate the property. The
showings are good, just how good is
not made public, but the Buckhorn
mine has all the earmarks of becoming
one of the big properties of Nevada.
Development work will now be pressed
stronger than ever

GOLDFIELD men
IN BIG Land
PROJECT

Mr. W. r. Eel, chief electrician of
The Florence mine of Goldfeld; Mr..
narisl Mcmillan, also of the Florence
mine. f. A. Wilson, a merchant of
denver. Colorado, and c. M. Sumner, of
Goldfeld, ave formed the Vegas Irri.
gated Lands company, which company
has taken up $500 acres at las Vegas
under the Carey act. These lands COM
menee about seven miles south of Las
Vegas and are near the station of
Arden on the San Pedro, Los Angeles
& Salt Lake railroad.
This project was one of those favor
ably reported on by the state engineer
in February, and all the necessary Ill
ings have been made in the United
States land Office, as well as with the
state land register, and the company
is now preparing to place the land under
irrigation by means of artesian wells.
There are nineteen such wells now How
ing in the Vegas valley and ten OF
them are within a mile of the Vegas
Irrigated Lands company so that this
company feels sure of getting plenty
of irrigation water. The four biggest
wells in the valley are within about
half a mile of this eompany's land.
The company has the intention of hav-
ing a Star drilling machine on the
ground within a few weeks, ordered
from Chanute, Kansas. 1t expects to
have three of these machines at work
in the neal future.
Mr.. Wilson is in Las Vegas to estab-
lish an Office for the company at that
point and to look after getting work
started. The company is not yet dis
posing of land but expects to start do
ing so shortly after the first well IS
drilled. The company is selling bonds
convertible into land as soon as land
can be placed on the market, and under
this system several hundred acres of
land has already been spoken for. Sew
eral parties from the vicinity of Ton
opah and from the ranch country near
Reveille are preparing to move on to
this land at the earliest moment they
can get water.
The company S first well will be with
in about 1900 feet of the Al Clark well,
which was the last big one brought in.
One hundred and sixty acres of land
will be at once cleared where this is
to be drilled, for parties who are move
on to it with their families in the next
thirty days. 1t is expected to move
frame houses from north Las Vegas to
the land for preliminary use.

FREE GOLD FROM
Acme TANKS

Parker brothers, vino have returned
from Acme Tanks after two months
spent in development work on their
Montreal and Kinkead properties near
the Tanks, are showing some exception
ally fine samples of gold ore, taken from
the 4o-foot level of their property.
The ore is taken from a stringer that
averages a little more than an inch in
width, in a diorite and granite contact,
and fairly glistens with bright yellow
gold. Assays are not available as vet.
but the Parkers brought in a nice little
sack of gold that had been extracted by
hand work with mortar and pestle, the
returns from which reimbursed them for
their labor. The rock in which thew
have been sinking their incline shaft on
the ore is very hard and finty, and
drilling was very slow. The showing is
one over which the owners of the prop
erty may well be enthusiastic, as the
80 feet of sinking they did showed no
dlminution in size or value of their
strlnger. in addition to this work they
qua a large amount of surface develop-
ment and assessment work on their l6
claims IN the Acme Tanks district.

NATIONAL
OF RHY0LITE
L|QUIDATES

RHYoLITE, March 21.-The First
National bank of Rhyolite failed to
omen its doors this morning and a notice
was posted that the bank was closed
for liquidation. The national bank ex-
aminer who was here two weeks ago
and directed the bank to liquidate, is
expected to arrive here tonight. The
bank shows $4,000 in deposits and only
81 1900 cash on hand.
The closing of the bank caused much
subdued excitement. 1t was not long
before the miners and mine operators
from surrounding hills began to pour
in. A large number came in from Pho
neer, as this was their banking point,
and there was more work in progress
there than at any point in the district
1T is a hard blow to Pioneer and may
cause the closing of nearly all the mines
The failure also affects all the camps
of the Funeral Range, the Lee district
Tacopa, Beatty, and the Keane Won
der. 1t was the only bank here, the
Bullfrog Bank and Trust company hav'
ing suspended some time ago.
The people of the district are great
ly worked up over the failure of the
bank and there is talk of hemp and
hanging. Oscar Smith, president of the
bank is not here. Bert L. Smith, a di
rector, came here two weeks ago, and
moved his furniture from Rhyolite
which occasioned some comment. The
failure was not due to general bushes.
conditions, but to incompetent anC
rascally management.

AUSTIN, March 1.-THE mining
work in this district, since the end of
freight deliveries, has been confined to
what before were considered minor OPP
erations. But this work has been so
full of good promise in the disclosures
of ore and fine pay ore at that, that
the temporary tie-up cannot be said to
be such a serious misfortune after all.
The ore on the main vein in the Jack
Pot has improved in character and a
crosscut at the 200 level has been start
ed east to tap the Red Top ledge, which
is parallel.
On the Hardy a winze has been COM
meneed in the drift on a ledge two and
a half feet in width that is good pay.
New work has been started by tn,
