of commerce has been selected as the
place and at o'clock Thursday night

resenting many oil interests and COM
panles have been mailed to 1900 opera

them to attend the gathering.
The letter of invitation contains the
following:
at is generally agreed that the United
States government will enact measures
tending to conserve the mineral resources
of the country at tho early session of
congress.
"In order that the oil industry may
Tot be irremediably injured, 1t is also

the policy of conservation, will insure
fair competitive conditions for all those

BIG PAYROLL SPEAKS
WELL FOR GOLDFIELD

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 16.-Eighty-six
thousand dollars was distributed by
the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany as the pay roll for the month of
July, with approximately 700 men on
the list The disbursement of this
amount Of money in wages each month
by this company makes the 10th a well
come date to workmen and merchants
alike. Labor conditions in this camp
were never so satisfactory as at pres
ent, and there are practically no idle
men in the district. Construction work
now being done by the Consolidated has
given employment to large number OF
men in addition to the regular mining
and milling forces, so practically all of
the unemployed labor of the camp has
been absorbed.
The Florence is employing a good
force and the several leases throughout
the camp are also employing a greater
number of men than has been the case
for a number of years. With the Con-
solidated pay roll as a nucleus, labor
conditions are assuredly in good shape.

BAY CITY OIL COMPANY
PAYS SEVENTH DIVIDEND
Directors Decide to Increase the
Number of Shares and =.
Lower Par to ST

The Bay City Oil company is today
paying its dividend No. for 10 cents
a share, making a total of S145,000 paid
in dividends by this company to date.
The date of payment of dividends has
just been changed from the 10th to the
18th of the month, in order that the
regular monthly meeting on the sec
ond Thursday will always precede the
dividend date.
The directors of this company have
decided that it will be for the interest
of the stockholders to change the num-
Der of shares and the par value of
same from 100000 shares of the par
value of S. each, as 1t now stands, to
100000 shares at par value of 81 each,
and have asked the stockholders to ap-
prove of such an amendment to the
articles of incorporation.
While this does not change the
amount of the capital, it places a par
value on the stock more in accord with
the usual plan of corporations of this
kind. The new issue of stock will, of
course, give the stockholders five
shares of the new stock for each share
they may hold of the old stock.

FLORENCE EXTENSION
FINDS BODY OF QUARTZ

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 16.-A fine body
of quartz is being broken into on the
500 level of the Florence Extension
which was recently started up under
lease by a syndicate of California
operators, and it is thought that within
a short time good ore will be encoun-
tered. The quartz is now showing con-
siderable tetrahedrite and looks very
encouraging. This ground adjoins the
old Rogers syndicate lease on the
Florence and has an excellent chance
for becoming a good producer, as it is
directly in line for the southerly pro-
lection of the Rogers ore shoot. If
expectations are realized it will be an
important bearing on solving the geo
logical or ore problem of the territory
beyond the south end of the Florence.
Three shifts are being worked and
general repairs and thorough prepara-
lions are being made for an extensive
campaign of development.

SALT LAKE ROUTE WILL
INCREASE TRAIN SERVICE

The first of the two new trains to be
operated between Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City over the Salt Lake
route will begin operations on August
%, according to information given out
at the Salt Lake offices yesterday.
The train will be first-class throughout,
being on a par with the Los Angeles
Limited, and will make equally good
time, the only difference between the
two trains being that the latter runs
through to Chicago, while the former
only goes as far as Salt Lake.
With the installation of this train the
Salt Lake will be operating four first
class transcontinental trains out of
this city daily. 1t is believed that this
new train eventually will be extended
TO run on to Chicago, or possibly
Omaha and Kansas City.

Old ROSARIO mine lets
CONTRACT FOR BIG PLANT
Property Recently Acquired by
London Men Was Once
Mexico Bonanza

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Aug. 16.-Con-
tracts have been let for the building OF
a big reduction plant at the famous
old Rosario mine at Guadalupe y
Calvo, Chihuahua, recently acquired by
the West Mexico Mines company of
London 1t is hoped to have the plant
in readiness to start treating an aver
age of 200 tons day within six months
and after that a substantial increase
will be made.
This mine, in the extreme south
western part of Chihuahua, was a
bonanza from the grassroots. The
main vein is said to be 100 to $50 feet
wide, averaging in width about 100
feet, and by an open cut along the
ledge 1900 feet long, seven feet deep
and 100 feet across, there were in the
early days exposed four distinct high
grade shoots between which are vast
tonnages of fair milling truck running
about $40 to the ton.
An Indian discovered the property in
October of 1885, and in the following
year English interests secured lease
upon it, Foreigners were not allowed
to own Mexican mines outright until
Ao.. SO much gold was taken from
the bonanza at the very start that in
1912 the government established mint
there and coinage began in 1874.
According to such records as have
been preserved, the Rosario produced
$500 900 gold fr' 1888 to 1876, but
it is conservatively estimated that the
actual output up to 1S47 was $40, 000,0 900,
the true facts having often been with
held to evade the heavy tax on bullion.
Failing to agree upon terms for a
renewal of their lease, the Englishmen
abandoned the mine in 1847, and it lay
practically dormant until 1888, when it
was purchased by a company organ
lied in Memphis, Tenn. Another crowd
of Americans secured control IN 1892
and took out 100000 in twenty-one
rlonths, selling to the Rosario Mining
and Milling company of London in
1895, the property later passing to the
West Mexico Mines company, present
incumbents.
