THOUGHTFUL OBSERVATIONS
ON MINING FINANCE

The Engineer and Mining Journal OF
Oct. 20 has the following editorial,
which is ow western interest:
The substantial improvement in the
market for Upper and in the general
stock quickly inspired courage in the
enterprises to invite the public to con-
tribute the additional sums required for
these undertakings. But why this
ne~ver-ending fnancinga This is some
thing on which investors may pause
and reflect.
We have lately seen the Miami com
pany make its fourth call for mon ~,
and Braden its third. Inspiration has
just raised 81, 0 900 by sale Of treas
ury stock, and Ray Consolidated is
making a bond issue of $4,000, 900. Be-
fore long Chino will have to be name
ed. Inspiration has raised only a
part of the money unat it will require.
and we may reasonably expect thai
the history of Chino will be a repetl-
ton of the experience that began with
Utah Copper company and Nevada
CT n~solidated.
Why is it that the promoters Of
these enterprises did not prevent sufi-
clent money in the first placef (1) Is
it that the engineers are incapable Of
estimating accurately the require
ments? (2) Or are the promoters
afraid to ask at once for the huge sum
that they know will be required9 q
Or is the gradual expansion of capital
account really due to progressive en-
largement of plans9 Of course the an.
swer of the promoters will be affirma-
tive to the last inquiry. Onr known
answer is affirmative to the three in
~ouiries without, however, implying that
all of these conditions exist in all
cases.
We may take the history of Miami
as illustrative of the experience OF
these companies, and in making this
selection we look at the best face OF
modern copper financing, inasmuch as
It has been one of the soundest devei-
opments and certainly the most mod
est. When first offered to the public,
200. 900 shares were sold at So per share.
The promoters doubtless realized that
this would bring insufficient money
and relied upon such development OF
the mine as would enable the remaining
100. 900 shares of treasury stock to be
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-11-19

sold at $40 per share. That was done.
Subsequently developments were so ia
vorable that the management consid-
cred itself justified in increasing its
plans from the basis of 1000 tons per
day to 1000 tons per day. This ne
cessitated more money, and a bond is
sue of 81, 10000 was made.
The mining and milling of 1000 tons
of ore a day is almost ridieulously mod
est as things go with the "porphyry
mines" However the engineering es-
Inmates fell short, largely because of
the extraordinary sum put into the un-
derground developments of the NINE,
which in fact have anticipated future
mining costs to a noteworthy extent,
and it became necessary to increase the
capital of the company and sell more
stock. By the time that production is
inaugurated, the development and the
equipment of Miami will have cost
nearly $4,000, 900. Now we have In.
hpiration, with a capital of 81, 000, 900
shares and $4,000 900 just received
from the sale of it's treasury stock,
planning to build a milling plant of s..
900 tons daily capacity. For such a ca
capacity, the development and equip
ment may reasonably be expected to
cost something like twice that of the
Miami. Obviously, the Inspiration will
later on be compelled to do more fin
nancing. We refer to this company
simply because it is just starting on
the road that Ray Consolidated has
travelled half way.
We are not going to criticize any
management or group of promoters for
deficiencies in this respect. We shall
simply point out to investors that they
must do their own estimating as to
probable capital requirements. The
promoter estimates that, let us say,
he is going to produce 100000
pounds of copper at a profit of 4 cents
per pound, or 49, 0O,0 900 per annum, or
So per share if there be 1000, 900
shares. But if the capital is to be
increased to 1905 900 shares by an is
sue of convertible bonds, or otherwise,
the profit per share will be diluted to
$1.6O. The stakeholder needs to know
not only the tonnage, grade and produc-
ton cost of the core, but also how long
will be the time before contemplated
production will be made and what will
be the capital stock of the company,
or other organization, at that time.

GOOD COAL DISCOVERIES
RECENTLY MADE in STATE

the laws controlling this kind of land
may take up 100 acres and pay the
government for the same within one
year at the rate of $40 per acre. A
company may take up 800 acres, no
more, at the same rate and terms.
At the present time the coal proper
ty is fifty miles from the nearest rail-
road, but several surveys have been
made in the section with some encour
agement. 1t is figured that with the
showing that is being made, before
spring there will be a field Of coal
opened up that will result in capital
coming in, and in all likelihood there
will be railroads pushed into that sec.

The fact that it is true coal and not

NEVADA HILLS HAS

E. n. Skinner, engineer for Thomp-
son, Towle &C.,, after a recent visit
to the Nevada Hills property in sne
county of Churchill, Nevada, says:
"The big ore shoot on the Ho-toot
level is opened for 1S9 feet, with tue
face still in ore. For a distance OF lzo
feet the ore averages 5E rect wioe'

COPPER ORE LIKE GOLD is
WHERE 1T is FOUND

In discussing the best formation for
copper ores, the Mining and Scientific
Press says that the formation makes
little difference. Prospectors are like
ly to overlook something of value if
they spend their time searching Tor
some particular formation, such, for
instance, as they have been familiar
with in other camps. AT present, mo-
nozonite porphyry is considered the
best possible formation for copper
ores, for the reason that great mines
have of late years been developed in
that rock at Bingham, Utah; Ely, Ne
vada, and elsewhere. The famous
mines of Bisbee are, in part at least,
in limestone; the Lake Superior mines
in amygdaloid beds and in %conglome-
rate. The Ducktown copper mines
of Tennessee are in schist, as are also
the famous deposits of Mount Lyeli,
Tasmania. Many mines now produc-

The following is taken from a Phlla-
delphia newspaper of recent date and
is of considerable interest to the peo-
pie Of Tonopah:
"a special meeting Of the directors
of the Tonopah Belmont Development
company was held yesterday to hear
the report of President Park, who re-
turned last week from a "Trip to tue

detail the condition of the mines as
was outlined on this page last week.
He announced that the new shaft has
attained a depth of 114o feet and that
operation would begin Dec. l.
Following the meeting of the To-
nopah Belmont, meetings of the direc-
tors of the Jim Butler and Goldhel1

of Tonopah Belmont, were held. The
directors authorized the resumption OF
work on the Jim Butler. h hrst
work will be prosecuting in the Stone

to open up the property on an extensive
scale. 1t was announced that the com

then there is a peculiar property in tho
soil that furnishes a production thai

on the ranch are like the New Jersey

Mr.. Lotus displayed a branch from
a cotton plant grown on the ranch, and
it held a dozen or more bolls Of cotton.
In speaking of the tests made there in
cotton growing he said: "In the
south the cotton plants hold from Is to
20 bolls; in Imperial Valley they carry
from go to rs bolls, but on the Pahrump
ranch 1 counted as high as 200 bolls to

the ranch and stated that they were
the product of a slip planted only last
March.
"The Pahrump section" continued
Mr.. LOTUS, "has an elevation of about
2,200 feet and has an equable summer
and winter climate. The average win
ter temperature is about % degrees,
while in summer it has never been
known to go above LOG. In the I'm
perial Valley, which is below sea level,
the summer heat averages about 120,
and most men cannot live there at that
time.
Gone of the railroad men on the
trip with us, Mr.. Woods, stated that he
had looked upon Imperial Valley five
years ago and that Pahrump at this
time, and as yet undeveloped, was a
paradise compared with the southern
California section when being opened
up"
Mr.. Lotus with a number of other
Goldfeld men is interested in the Ar
magosa Land and Irrigation company,
which has had ceded to it by the gov
eminent $4,000 acres of land near the
Pahrump ranch and is also within a
short time to secure an additional
grant. which will make its holdings
about $4,000 acres. On the original
grant there are some Is flowing springs,
supplying water sufficient to irrigate
1000 acres of the land. Plans are now
being made to open up water in other
parts of the district.

Peru, were worked many decades for

years that their value as copper pro-

1t was stated in the Tonopah Bonan-

probability that the gasoline hoist on
the Stone Cabin shaft will be replaces

ELY, Nov. 16. - There are unmis-
taxable evidences that the projected
Ely. Goldfeld railroad is now nearer a
realization than at any time since its
inception.
Some months ago, when the promot.
ers of the road TO connect Ely and
Goldfeid asked for a franchise from
this city, they were refused. The
right of way asked for was such as he
people of Ely would not grant. The
promoters thereupon withdrew, giving
it out that they would abandon the
road, as the people of Ely were hostile
to it. But Ely was not hostile to the
road. 1t offered another right of way,
which they considered as good for the
railway and better for the town.
There is already one railroad occupy
ing the street over which the Ely-Gol1.
field wanted to run its main line, and
to allow another railroad, with It's
freight trains to use the same street,
meant the abandonment of the street
entirely, and as this is one of the main
streets of the little gulch town, 1T
could not be considered. The Ely coun-
ell offered to allow the use of this
street for passenger trains, but not for
freight and ore trains. They offered
a right of way on the hillside above
the town for the ore trains.
For some months after that little
was heard of the railroad project, but
the promoters were not idle by any
means, it no wappears. They have been
quietly making a thorough examination
of the country through which the 70 I'd
would pass, with more especial refer
ence to the tonnage that would se
available from the mining camps along
the route; and only recently have they
begun to nlbble again for q franchi q
in the town of Ely. They have been IN
correspondence with councilmen and
promise to visit Ely in behalf of a
franchise shortly.

Hamilton and the White Pine dis
tricts have 300, 900 tons Of ores await
ing shipment, with much of the area
still undeveloped, and which will prob
ably furnish an enormous tonnage
when opened up. White Pine district
has a record of producing $~25,0O0,O00
from the famous Treasury Hill silver
mines and $4,000, 900 from the silver
lead belt. An immense copper district
lies on the west side of White Pine
mountain, which will also be proftably
developed when railroad transportation
Is available to ship the ores or bring
in machinery for great reduction plants
that will vie with those of the Ely
district in size and output.

have of late, after close investigation
.oms to realize the vast value of these
and, and the great Importance of the
~,selamation movement and are now
formulating plans to bring the atten'
ton of large interests to the possibili
ties existing therein.
On one side of this great stretch of
country runs the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad, while on the other side
is the Tonopah and Las Vegas road.
The Santa Fe takes up the Tonopan
and Tidewater at Ludlow and is like
wise interested in opening up the des-
ert section which has already shown
that its possibilities are even greater
than the famous Imperial Valley.
Last week a party of Goldfeld men,
consisting of j. p. LOTUS, w. E. John
son. A. H. Howe, G. G.. Patrick and w.
L. Ricketts,, made a trip into the val

markable Pahrump valley ranch coa-

all were most enthusiastic regard

claring that their best efforts would be
given in support of the big reclama-
ton movement.
Mr.. LOTUS, while stating that he is
lot an agriculturist, today gave an in
description of the Pahrump
