"SMELTER RETURNS TELL The TALE"

'Smeter returns tell the tale" That
was the expression that the writer en-
joyed using i'll the early days of Gold
field. 1t is easy enough to talk about
having ore that will go $500 a ton, $50
or SIS a ton, but until the same has
been put through the smelter or mill in
large quantities there will always be
some Missourians.
While it was generally known that
the lease of the Constantine Bros. and
Matt, at Mason Pass, had some very
rich ore, there were some who doubted
whether the general average was suffi-
cient to pay very much profit if shipped
at this time.
The room for doubt on this score has
been eliminated for the returns from the
mill have told the story.
Readers of THE TIMES will remember
when the ore was struck on the Con-
stantine lease and have followed develop
ments until, as told in a recent issue, a
carload shipment of 20 tons was sent TO
the McTigue mill at Silver City.
The result OF this run has been very
satisfactory, the mint returns of the
free gold caught on the plates bring

SSOl 81, or little better than $40 ton
The price paid per ounce of gold was
SlS.18. In addition the concentrates
went 81. 81 and the tailings 81 AS per ton.
The sorting of this shipment was not
done very closely and it would not have
been surprising if the values had been
much lower. As it is, it proves the
property to be one of great promise and
its future development will be watched
with interest.
The most of the ore so far has been
taken out of drift at a depth of Is
feet. The ore in this drift got better
the further it was extended, and the
face is in ore that will 90 500 a ton
across Is inches. The drift from the
50 foot point in the shaft did not disclose
pay ore at first but recently the pay
shoot was entered and an average assay
across 20 inches returned values of
S64. 2S. About sol of the values is in
gold, the balance being in silver and
copper.
1t is stated that work will be more
vigorously prosecuted from this time
on, and the shaft will be sunk 50 feet
deeper at once.

WHEN WAS M'KiNLEY BORN?
Was It January 90, 1843, or
February 26, 1874?
FFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 13. When was
President Mckinley born? Recent as Is
the administration of William Mckinley.
the date of his birth and his age at death
are already subjects of dispute In all
the years Mr.. Mckinley was member
of the House OF Representatives the
Congressional Directory. containing a
sketch which he was presumed TO nave
prepared himself. gave the date Oh MS
birth as February 26, 1S44.
When he became President the same
Congressional Directory set forth the
date of Mr. McKinley's birth as January
%, 1S43-a difference of a year and
twenty-eight days
Representative Burke, of Pennsyl-
vania. who has been invited to deliver
an address on President Mckinley on the
anniversary of his birth. does not know
if he should speak on January % or
February 70 He has consulted Con-
gressional Directories for the 10th. 10th,
47th. 10th, 50th and 51st Congresses, and
in each instance the date of Mr.. Nc
Kinley:s birth is given as February 20,
1871 Consulting the Directory of 1891,
however, Mr. Burke finds the Presidents
birth recorded as on January ~. 1913,
the date which has >een celebrated since
the death of the martyred President as
Mckinley Day, or CarnatiOn Day.
How these conflicting statements could
have escaped detection in all the years
that William Mckinley was a national
figure is inexplicable but it now remains
for the historical experts to unravel this
surprising and mysterious conflict of
dates.
