The approach TO the bridge will be
about a half mile long and the grade
will be about eight feet from the up

will be three months before the
bridge is placed in commission. There
will be double track running 10 the
bridge. thus enabling the company

pany, which owns controlling in

field railroad company.
My conclusion that the railroad
company would not sanction any
plan that would deprive the rail-
road company of revenue was veri-
fed by the fact that the Tonopah
Mining companys officials built the
Belmont company's sixty stamp mill
thirteen miles from the mine, at
Millers, Nevada, on the line OF the
Tonopah and Goldfield railroad. At
the time this mill was built, it was
at least twice as large as any de-
velopments in the Belmont mine
warranted. At the time it was de-
cided to build the Belmont mill
at Millers, | personally asked Mr..
Keith, general manager OF both
the Tonopah Mining company and
the Tonopah Belmont company, IL
he had recommended that mill
be built at Millers. He answered
mo l have recommended that
twenty stamp mill be built at Tono
pah.' l fully Endorsed Mr.. Keith
at the time and have never hat
any reason to change my opinion.

For the last week H. G. Brough-
er, director in the Belmont COM
pany, has been busily engaged in
sending a letter to the various
stockholders in the company. The
letter is self-explanatory and is as
follows:
Having been western director OF
the Belmont company for the last
two years, during which time
have made frequent inspections OF
the property, l have had better
opportunity to note conditions as
they exist than a majority of the
recipients of this letter. AS | am
heavily interested in this company,
and, as | always have had, and
still have, the best interests OF the
property at heart. | am impelled
to make known to as many OF the
stockholders as possible certain con-
ditions which, to my mind, should
be remedied in order that the best
results may be obtained.
Several of the directors OF the
Belmont company are deserving the
Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad
company in the same capacity, and
it is very essential that different
policy be adopted if it is desired
that the Belmont company receive
a square deal from it's directors
as a man cannot faithfully serve
two masters when the interests arr
, so closely interviewer as are thos'
of the two companies named. 1t i
but natural that director OF tn
railroad company would not sane
ton any plan that would depriv
the exchecquer of the railroad com
pany of revenue, and in any matte
. in which both the Belmont compan
J and the railroad company are cor
cerned, he is unable to act as In
partially as he would If connecte
with but one company. Here

Belmont company was, for severe
wears, practically under the manage

for locating the mill where it is
self-evident, viz: to give the rail-
road company a profit at the ex-
pense of the mining companies.
Another point! While these ex-
travagances were being INDUCED in
at the expense of the mining conf
panies the Belmont mine, itself,
was operated on hand-to-mouth
policy, to the extent that, in Octo-
Der, 1907, an examination of the
mine was made by J. H. Mckenzie,
one of the country's most prominent
engineers, who reported that there
/. was but sixty days supply of ore
in sight for the sixty stamp mill
which had only been completed d
few months before. This report
demonstrates that it was the UNI
businesslike policy of the eastern
management to strip the mine of
ore reserves for effect. at the time,
on the market, and the fact stands
that at no time was the develop
ment prosecuted in advance of the
requirements of the mill.
The officials then in charge Of
the property had decided to take
one-fourth interest in power
plant, which was being built by the
Tonopah Mining company at Mil
lers, for the purpose of supplying
power for both the mills at Mil
lers and the mines at Tonopah
This power plant proved to be toe
small for the required needs Of
the mines and mills. 1t was ex
: planned at the time that the build
ing of this plant would force thu
Nevada California Power compan.
to give them a lower rate. Th'
plant was constructed and operated
. for about one and one-half years

freight rate of 60 cents a ton for
transportation of ore from the mine
and, also, considering the fact that
a large sum was unnecessarily ex-
pended in securing interest in the
power plant located at Millers, it
is self evident that error in man
agement was not responsible for the
serious financial condition that has
faced the Belmont company since it's
organization, but that this condi-
| ton was due to the deliberate pol
ticy of dual board of directors
that favored one corporation at the
expense of the other.
All of these failures would have
been avoided had the recommends

constructed on the Belmont prop
erty been adopted. Great losses
would have been turned into divi-
dends-it is questionable that a divi-

Mr.. Brougher also enclosed
communication to him from S. H.
Brady, in which the latter gentle
man explains his reasons for re-
fsigning from the superintendency
of the Belmont. That the present
condition of the Belmont company,
is due to the thorough knowledge
and capability of Mr.. Brady, is
the consensus of opinion of every
mining man in the state. 1t is
known that he was forced to fight
for every foot of development work
done in the mine, and in the face
of all the obstacles, succeeded where
others would have failed.
The following is Mr.. Brady's eX-
PLANTATION of the reasons for his
resignation;

!, Dear Sir: AS ] have been asked
repeatedly by many stockholders in
THE Belmont company and by you,
personally, to give my reasons for
iresigning as superintendent of the
Belmont company, give them,
briefly as follows.
: During the month of November,
: 1909, | received visit from Rich
I ard j. Park, president of the Bel
, mont company, here in Tonopah.
III informed Mr.. Park at that time
that I could not make expenses if
v III operated the mill at Millers, as
+ the grade of ore would not war
Z rant the expense of soc ton for
a freight and the excessive cost of
r treatment at the company's plant,
J. which is of faulty design. in
n formed Mr.. Park, however, that an
IS ore washer had been installed at
} the mine and | would be able
i ore to the smelter. make money
II for the company and develop the
E. property. Subsequent to this con
versation Mr.. Park, within the las
III few months in fact it was my for
lie tune to uncover the great body O
Il ore that now places the Belmon
Or among the bonanza mines of thu
re state. However, we are now deal
ne ing with the condition. that pre-
at vailed at the time of my converse
RS tion with Mr.. Park.
