REPORT THAT MINNESOTA
COMPANY is REHABILITAETD

The report current yesterday that
the Minnesota Mining company OF
Maitland is rehabilitated again and
in a position to take care of all its
outstanding obligations, was re-
ceived here with many expressions
of qualification. 1t is understood
that there has been raised not only
sufficient capital to discharge all
present debts, but that the amount is
sufficient to provide working capi-
tai which will permit of the neces-
sary development being accomplished
without any further delays. 1t was
generally believed that the officers
of the company would succeed in
pulling 1t out of the financial diff
culties into which 1t recently fell. as
they have heretofore been obliged to
contend with more serious situations

RECORD SHIPMENT
FROM TONOPAH.

TONOPAH, New, Aug. 12.-Dur-
ing last week the mines Of Tonopah
sent to the mill 1908 tons Of ore
having an approximate value OF
$1S2,7OO. Individually the ship
ments were as follows:
Tonopah Mining, $3.50 totns; Bel
mont, 100 tons; MacNamara, 100
tons; West End, $50 tons; Tonopah
Extension, $40 tons; Midway, 80
tons.
These shipments are among the
largest that have ever gone out OF
the district and the value thereof is
well up to the record mark.
In the matter of development Ton
opah Mining takes the lead for work
done, the record showing that during
the week $40 feet Of ground was
broken, most of this in ore, though
some of it was shaft work on the
Sandgrass, the most westerly claim
of the company's estate. On the Sill
yer Top the principal work has been
confined to the 140, 240, $40, 44O
and $40 levels and has consisted
principally Of stopping and drifting.
On the Mizpah considerable cross
cutting has been done on the various
levels, while the drifts which have
been run have been productive Of a
large yield of ore.
The report from the company's
mill for the week ending July 81,
shows that an average of 81 out of
100 STAMPS were dropping constant
ly, crushing $3.50 tons Of ore on an
average value of $40 per ton.
The shipments from the mill con-
sisted of 40 tons of concentrates
valued at $4,000, and 81 bars of
bullion, valued at $685. 900, making a
total output Of $4,000. An average
extraction of SO per cent was re-
corded.

DEAD MINING STOCKS
sPRINGING INTO LIFE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. IL.
The past week on the local ex-
change has recorded an increasing
demand for the Goldfield stocks. Is
sues that have laid dormant for a
year began to show a revival and ad-
vanced several points. Eastern
manipulation is believed to be re-
sponsible. Jumbo Extension, Flor
ence, Combination Fraction and
Goldfield Merger were particularly
affected by this movement.
Jumbo Extension opened at 30
with a rather listless market, but
rapidly gathered strength as the
week waned and was soon in sharp
demand around "a to 81, with
thousands of shares changing hands
at every session. This week 1t was
advanced above so.
Combination Fraction was favor
ite AZ to so, with considerable
stock selling rapidly. Florence con
tinued very strong around $2.45 and
while activities were often pro-
nounced, holders were inclined to Of
fer sparingly. Goldfield Merger
came to life with rush and jumped
from to IL, with thousands Of
shares selling. Goldfeld Consoli
dated was in demand at $S.4O, bu
business was along narrow lines.
Booth at 13, Kewanas at z, Flor
ence Extension at 1, Red Top Exten
sion at 4, Yellow Tiger at Z, Atlanta
at IA and several of the so-callet
low-grades stocks also experienced
good demand, In sharp contrast
with the conditions that have pre-
vailed during the past year. 81
marked was the demand for th'
Goldfelds that the majority o.
brokers are looking for importan
developments in the smaller prop
critics of the district.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO
GREAT STATE FAIR

BY liberal policy granted on the
part of the railroad companies ar
rangements have been perfected
which make it cheaper and more con-
venient to attend the fair this year
than ever before.
Special excursion trains will be
run over the C. & N. w. Ry. by the
C. NJ. & st. P. Ry. Co., connecting
with the Northwestern at Wolsey and
Lake Preston The Milwaukee spe-
cials will be delivered to the North
western at Wolsey and Lake Preston
and brought in by the latter COM
pany over it's tracks. Fair visitors
from points on the Milwaukee road
can take the excursion trains at their
own home towns and sit still in the
same car until it stops at the fair
station on the State Fair grounds.
No delay at connecting points. No
change of car and one fare pays for
the round trip.
The Northwestern will run special

BIG OUTPUT AT
THE VINDICATOR.

CRIPPLE CREEK. Aug. 13.-The
output of the Vindicator company
from its Bull Hill mines during July
totaled 5000 tons, with a gross bull
lion value of approximately $103,750.
OF this the No. /, or main shaft, pro-
duced 1,10O tons Of the high average
value of $42.50 per ton. The bulk
of this high-grade ore was mined
from the 1900 and 1,400-foot levels,
the deepest workings of the mine
Shafts Nos. and 6, operated by
lessees, produced 900 tons, with an
average value of $50 per ton. and the
Hull City shaft, operated both on
company account and by lessees, pro-
duced 1000 tons Of $50 grade.
During the month more ore was
blocked out than extracted, the re-
serves being materially increased.

WATER LOWERED TO $50
LEVEL IN IRON HILL SHAFT.

The unwatering of the Iron Hill
company shaft in Carbonate camp
by the Black Hills Development and
Financial corporation, now engaged
in the exploration of that district. IL
progressing most satisfactorily and
steady headway is being made, al
though there has been a large
amount Of workings to clear on the
100, 100 and 200 levels. The water
is now down to point $50 feet be-
low the collar of the shaft. The
company was fortunate in being able
to put in operation without any de-
lay, large Worthington station
pump, located at the 200-foot level,
which has been under water and out
Of use for thirteen years. This pump
was started up with head Of 70
pounds of steam and commenced
throwing four-inch stream within
five minutes after the stream was
turned on. 1t has been working
faithfully since and is lowering the
water at rapid rate.
There are thousands of feet Of un-
derground workings on the 100, 100
and 200 levels, which have already
been explored in a general way, but
a much more careful investigation Of
the ground will be made as soon as
the drifts and cross-cuts are In a
dryer condition. The 200 has been
worked more than the other two, this
level having drifts, cross-cuts and
slopes in all directions from the
shaft except north and the present
operators Of the property believe
that the best ore bodies will be found
in that direction.
The new shaft on the Home Run
property Is now down 55 feet and is
being well timbered. 1t has followed
streak Of high grade silyer-lead
ore, which shows width of from 6
to 1S inches and lies between por-
phry and jasper walls. It appears to
be well defined and 1t is believed It
will follow the porphry down an in
definite distance. At the present
depth, it is the intention to drift both
ways on the shoot. east and west and
then continue the shaft down another
hundred feet, for further exploration.
this shaft and the Iron
Hill will be connected, the latter to
be used as the regular working shaft
and the Home Run shaft to serve for
purposes.

ENCOURAGING RETURNS

FROM ORE SHIPMENTS.
The returns from the two ship
ments of ore from Carbonate camp,
sent to the Globe smelter at Denver
by the Black Hills Development and
Financial corporation, have been re-
ceived by President Bunce and they
are Of a decidedly encouraging char
acter. 1t is thought certain that
they will have the effect Of demon
strating, beyond all doubt, to the
prospective investors that the prope-
ties In the Carbonate district which
have been acquired by the company,
are more than promising and that
they warrant most thorough open
ing up Of the camp.
Notwithstanding what appear to be
exhorbitant charges by the smelter
people, the two carloads of ore
brought net returns Of sic per ton,
after all charges, except mining had
been deducted. The smelter people
make marked inroads into the possi-
BILE net returns by their deduction for
moisture. which they figured at 15
per cent, although the most careful
sampling of the ore before shipping
showed that the moisture could not
be figured at more than 6 per cent.
It was perfectly dry ore, for the most
part, which had lain on various
dumps for years and after being
sorted had been exposed to torrid
sun for several weeks. The smelter
allowed $19 per ounce for gold. 95
per cent Of the assay silver value and
"a per cent of the lead value. The
gross smelling charges were $3.75
per ton and the railroad freight rate
from Deadwood to Denver was SO per
ton. The average assay value of the
two carloads, which contained in all
about 65 tons, about half gold bear
ing ore and the remainder silver-lead
ore, checked up to within few cents
with the samples taken and assayed
by DR.. A. T. Roos, the Black Hills
company chemist.
President Bunce is we'll satisfied
with the result of the shipment and
feels certain that 1t will have an en-
couraging effect upon the eastern
capitalists who have been negotiat-
ing for the purchase of large amounts
of stock in the company. II the plans
of the company had not been inter
fered with by the obstacles encoun-
tered in the unwatering Of the Sea-
bury-Calkins shaft, these men OF
their representatives, would have
been here by the present time, for
the purpose Of examining the prop
erty and with the smelter returns to
guide them in estimating the prob
able value of the property, the final
financing of the corporation would
have been easily arranged. AS the
matter now stands, It will be neces-
sary to await the unwatering Of the
Iron Hill shaft, in order to reach the
ore bodies in place.

GOLD RUSH in MANITOBA.

PAS KEEWATIN, Manitoba, Aug.
lat is now certain that a new
gold field of amazing richness has
been discovered within rs miles Of
railroad connection and hundreds
are fiocking here from the United
States and Canada. Comparing 1t
with other discoveries, it Is easy Of
access, as it is only 20 miles north
Of the junction of the Pas Mission
line and six miles east. It is on a
small ridge, practically in the middle
of a muskeg, and after leaving the
track one has to walk in water al
most up to ones waist to reach 1t.

impatient, but insolent that even any
body should be heard. He accused the
association of bad faith and as work
ing in the interests of the foreign
ship owners. This was denied.
Md. Humphrey then succeeded in
having the bill damned through the
committee. Representative Alexander
of Missouri, minority member of the
committee, vigorously protested against
such indecent haste. and said it was
unfair to the committee, and to the
house and to the country to railroad
the bill through in that manner: that
the subject was one of vast Importance
and that hearings should be had from
day to day and the merits of the bill be
thoroughly investigated and consid-
cred. All of the minority members,
and Wilson of Illinois, (Rep) protested
at the outrage. The bill, by a vote
of ten to seven, was railroaded through
committee, in spite of the fact that
shipping bills introduced by Kuster-
mann of Wisconsin, Rainey of Illinois,
Clark of Florida and Sulzere Sof New
York, had not been given a moments
