A prominent mining operator extern

During the summer you are going to see

After FIVE years OF disappointments in
the development work at the Eagle &

ing of ore in the Beecher claim which
promises to place the company on pay

tunnel, and shipments TO surface mus'
pass through half-mile Of tunnels.
Present shipments from the Eagle %
Blue Bell property are at the rate OF
eighteen cars a month from which there
is profit OF about $4,000 month. Ihe
new ore bodies were encountered at a
depth OF 1900 feet and run from S2O Il

RAY CON. PREPARED
FOR G|LA MERCER
Date of Exchanging Respective
Stocks Not Yet Fully
Made Plain.

There has been some inquiry in regard
to the consolidation plan of the Ray Con-
solidated and ella Copper companies, by
which the mine and all other assets OF
the latter are TO become the property OF
the former. by the exchange OF three
shares of Gila for one share Of Ray.
There was a meeting of stockholders OF
the Ray Consolidated company last We'd
nesday In Portland Me, at which the
capitalization was increased from $40.
600 900 to Sl2 600 900 the additional stock
being that to be used In exchange Tor
the ella 600, 900 shares outstanding.
Over the Pollock wires from Boston
Saturday came the information that as
far as could be determined the ella COM
pany has taken no steps as yet 10 per
feet its part of the merger, nor Is ii
known whether any such action Will be
taken before the regular annual meet
ing of the company next September The
Ray Consolidated company. however, has
submitted its proposition 10 the ella
and there is an impression that the ella
stock must be delivered for exchange
before July l. 1910. Doubtless the Ray
Consolidated company will forward &c
ella stockholders ample information ir
time but some uncertainty as to the date
of exchange still exists.

WINGFIELD TELLS OF
THE G0LDFIELD CON.

Just previous TO the meeting Of the di-
rectors OF the Goldfeld Consolidated at
Reno, when the regular quarterly divl-
dend was posted. President George Wing
field gave out the following interview re-
garding the mine and the manner In
which Goldfield people were conducting
themselves:
The Consolidated was never before In
a more prosperous condition. II never
before had so much money in its treasury
following dividend payment. or so mucn
sued by the company have invariably
shown that more ore kas been put In
sight than has been taken out,
Regarding the camp. 1t is getting pct
ter every day, In spite OF Its enemies
on the outside, whose only interest Is In
stock speculation; and it's enemies on the
inside, whose only interest Is personal
Those on the outside are harmless. Those
on the inside, while they cannot affect
the Consolidated. unfortunately have IN
their hands the making or the breaking
of the town.
"Our mine is a part of the camp. but
not necessarily a part of Goldheld. There
is room enough in the camp for both the
mine and Goldfield
THE Consolidated owns enough ground
in fee simple to accommodate a town OF
its own, and has sufficient strength and
sufficient interest in the welfare and con-
tentment OF its employees TO proFlde lot
their comfort regardless OF Goldhelo.
I'm spite OF the charges certain per
sons who live by politics, and others VINO
hope TO. the Consolidated has not been IN
the political game. but If 1t had been, or
if in the future it should be. it would be
with ample justification. The Consoli-
dated is not only the largest taxpayer In
Esmeralda county, but Is majority tax
payer; In other words It pays more mon
ey into the county treasury than all the
other taxpayers of the county combined
If the Consolidated pays, as II does. more
than half the salaries OF county officials,
II might be excused for sharing with 9TH
er taxpayers some concern as to who gets
the money!
