OH|OOF NEVADAIS
IOBE REJUVENATED
Silver Gold Producer, Idle 20
Years, Bought by East
ern Crowd.

The old Ohio mine at Rebel Creek.
Humboldt county. which was closed 20
years ago after having produced about
100000 of silver-gold ore. has been
purchased by group of Wisconsin and
Ohio capitalists, who intend TO re-
juvenate it. The properly transferred
comprises eight claims. The three
claims which have been partially de-
veloped were owned by the Wells
Fargo people, the others having been
held by T. P. Snapp and T. F. Melody.
Aside from the death of one of the
the mine is not explained Donald Fer
guson, a GoIdfield promoter, last sum-
mer cleaned out the old workings and
sampled the mine, at his own expense,
after which he purchased the interest
of the Wells-Fargo people He then
interested the eastern capitalists, who
have taken over the entire property
Mr.. Ferguson retains an interest how
ever, and will be general manager Of
the new company
The mine has in sight fully $1,500,0O0
of ore, aside from s132, 600 CT ore on
the dump, according to Mr.. FerguSon's
figures. The dump ore averages SIS
a ton, the ratio of values being about
20 per cent silver and 80 per cent gold.
In the large vein opened in the mine
is a two-foot streak of ore which, it
is said, assays $3.50 q ton, while in
number of places is S100 ore. 1t is
the intention of the new owners to
build at the mine this summer a mill
of 125 tons daily capacity. The high
grade ore will, however, be shipped
direct to the Smelter.

No ORE STRIKE IN
BINGHAM COPPER
Activity of Stock Due, Doubt
less, to Closing of Deals
in East.

Reason for the strong advance CT
price CT the stock of the Bingham
Copper company is found. IT is be-
lieved, in the final closing in the east
of arrangements which assure the car
rying out of the extensive campaign of
development which the company has
planned
Report was persistent yesterday that
an important strike of silver-lead ore
mad been made in the mine, but it was
denied positively by Manager W. d.
Bohm. Work was only recently re-
sumed IN the tunnel, where a body of
loW-g grade ore had been opened before
work was discontinued by the former
owners 1t is likely that the sight
of that ore on the dump gave rise to
the report that strike had been made.
Mr.. Bohm says that the tunnel win
have to be driven about geo feet fur
Their before a strike of Importance can
be expected
But Bingham Copper is now In
strong hands; it has a large estate in
which the presence of ore bodies is
proven-to the extent that 1t can be
proven by the opening in adjoining
ground of ore bodies leading in the
right direction. Development of the
ore in its ground las been placed in
competent, conservative hands, and
there are best of reasons to anticipate
that Bingham Copper will take its
place among the large producers Of
Bingham district. Which is ample
cause for the market activity of the
company's stock.

UNCLE SAM MAY
PAY NEXT MONTH
Old Time Profit Sharer Is in
Position to Return to
Dividend List.

From a source which is not official,
but which might be taken as almost
semi officiaI, comes the announcement
that Uncle Sam Consolidated is likely
TO resume in June the paying of divi-
dends, probably starting at cents a
share. The meeting of directors, at
which the dividend would be declared,
is scheduled for June s.
The company is maintaining good
to be favorable for continuing produc-
ton indefinitely at the present rate,
while a surplus ample to warrant the
paying of dividends has been accumu-
lated The only occasion for uncer-
tainty is the possibility of the May
Day company levying an assessment,
which al this time appears to be i'm
probable. Uncle Sam owns 400, 900
shares of May Days capital stock and,
should an assessment be levied, Uncle
Sam directors might deem it advisable
to defer another month the declaring
of a dividend.
The statement was made several
weeks ago by the superintendent of
the May Day mine that production was
being made which indicated that the
levying of an assessment would not
be required, and since that time les
sees have commenced shipping from
the ore body which they have been fol-

WESTERN GIANTS
POST DIVIDENDS
Utah Copper, Nevada Con. and
G0ldfield to Make Usual
Distributions.

The Utah Copper company yesterday
declared its regular quarterly dividend
OF as cents a share, aggregating ST.
145,Io0; Nevada Consolidated posted its
distribution of Pa cents share, or
100000, and Goldfield Consolidated
announced that it would pay to stock
holders the usual dividend of go cents
with the extra of 20 cents-which has
become almost regular"-making a
total profit distribution of Sits, 549.
These dividends nave all been earned
with sSue to spare-in the case of the
coppers, upon a metal market which
has cen o. nearly the low level of re-
cent years. 1t provides another whole
some object lesson in proof of the pro-
position that the ''porphyries' are en-
urely fulfilling promises.
The record of Goldfield Consolidated
is the most remarkable one in the an
nails of gold mining. When that COM
pany started paying its enormous divi-
dendS the impression prevailed that the
mine was being robbed of high grade
ore to make the showing. Recently
IRE deprived the company for more
than a month of a large portion of
its milling capacity. To make up the
deficiency in earnings were made a few
shil mentS Of picture rock" which, 1t
is said. the mine barely missed.

MASC0TTE TUNNEL is
HOLDING UP OHIO DEAL

Holding up of the final details of
financing the Ohio Copper company for
completing its mill is believed by To-
cal interests to be due to failure to
obtain from f. A. Heinze the conces-
ssons required regarding the Mascotte
tunnel. All of the money needed for
the project is available, it is known
the moment that such concessions can
be obtained. The company holds only
a short-term contract for the use of
the tunnel, which, as Mr.. Heinze knows
and the prospective hackers know, is
the key to the situation Mr.. Heinze
owns the tunnel personally and it is
presumed that he is 10th to give up
any Of the advantage which that own
erShip carries. The men who are to
provide the money, on the other hand.
are just as anxious to have assurance
of perpetual use Of the tunnel upon
favorable terms.
1t is not unlikely that the annual
meeting of stockholders, to be held
June 1, will bring affairs to the cri-
sis.

Mines and Mining Stocks
PRICES BULGE ON
SOME NEW BUYING
Mining Stocks Respond Quickly
to Slight Demand-Fur-
ther Advances Due.

Upon the eve of a three days recess
of the exchange the mining st5cf mar
ket displayed considerable new
strength. While there was not un-
mistakable evidence that the lun is
entirely broken, the buying was of
good character, a relatively wide range
OF issues participated in the trading
and several price advances were scored.
Iron Blossom sold from 9Sc to 96c, and
closed strong at 94c; Cedar Talisman,
which during the week sold down to
1Oc, was active at lie TO 1ZAc, Tfntfc
Central went from iOAc to lie; Column
bus Consolidated was the subject OF
new buying, which sent ii from soc to
SOC; Nevada Hills was firm at SAC;
Colorado was in demand at Sac to Csc,
and Uncle Sam held at 35c.
These results show conclusively that
little new buying is required to send
prices of many of the stocks far above
their present levels. Among the issues
closely on account of possibilities
which they afford for quick profits are:
Nevada Hills, whose new strike is
proving to be the biggest thing re-
ported from a Nevada mine for many
day; Uncle Sam, on account of prob
ability of its returning next month to
the dividend list; Iron Blossom, be-
cause of continued mine Improvement

Prince Consolidated is one which has
the resources-in value many times
that represented by the selling price
of the stock-to warrant handsome

BOST0NESE TO EXPLOIT
TURNER ELY PROPERTY

Closed two weeks ago, one of the
most important deals turned in Ely
district this year, perhaps, has escaped
the eagle eye Of the Ely press. That is
the taking over of the Turner Ely
group of claims by a strong Boston
crowd whose identity is yet clouded
in mystery. The Boston people were
in this city on the way home from Ely
after having closed the deal, and only
to a few intimate friends did they dis
close meager details of the object of
their visit to the copper camp. That
they had taken over the property, that
the financing of a company to operate
it had already been underwrittep, and
that an active campaign was cOntem-
plated, were about all the facts made
known to anyone, and those did not
leak out until yesterday.
The Turner Ely group of seven or
eight claims lies between the Cumber-
land Ely and Chairman groups. Work
in the adjoining properties has pretty
well proven the Turner Ely ground,
it is said. which is in the porphyry and
which is probably a steam shovel pro-
iect

DREAM MINE SHOWS
POCKETS OF RICH ORE

Small pockets Of high grade gold ore
are being found in the lowest workings
of the Dream mine, near Spanish Fork,
according to advices from the camp.
One man declares that he saw chunks
of ore which were so nearly metal that
it could be easily whitfield with a
pocketknife. The lower workings have
for some time been IN low-grade gold
ore. The appearance OF the high-grade
is believed to forecast early discovery
of the large deposit of sensationally
rich gold ore, which Bishop Koyle saw
IN the vision which impelled him to
undertake the opening Of the mine.
With new gasoline hoist recently in
stalled, better progress is being made
in sinking.

Seeking the Source.

Not content with indicting thirty-one
present and former councilmen for taking
brides In payment for their votes favor
ing ordinances designating certain banks
as city repositories, the Pittsburg grand
jury has taken the UNUSUAL step of seek
ing the source of the purchase money
with which this legislation was bought
In its presentfnent to the court the grand
jury said: I'VE call upon the directors
of the six banks named as city deposit
tories to, investigate who paid for each of
the said banks the brides herein set forth
and report the same to this grand jury
not later than Monday, March %, 1910;
and we further demand that said report
be in writing and certified to by directors
of said banks individuality"
This presents an unusually interesting
situation. OF the giving and taking OF
the brides there is no question. The coun-
cilmen stand confessed In such numbers
as to remove all shadow Of doubt from
the public mind as to the fact that the
depository designating legislation was
bought. 1t will be impossible without per-
jury for the directors of these banks to
deny the fact Of the bribery. II they
deny knowledge they confess ignorance
Of the most important details of their
business They stand in that case exposed
in an extraordinary lack OF acquaint-
ance with the management Of the institu-
tons of which they are the responsible
heads.
or course. everybody fully understands
that these brides were given in Pittsburg
with the full knowledge and consent, IL
not at the instigation, Of the men charged
with the management OF tho institutions.
No other theory is tenable with the
slightest consideration for the business

sense Of these directors. OF course they
may not deliberately confess participa-
ton. They are under no compulsion, save
that OF conscience or fear OF more severe
punishment, to acknowledge their guilt.
They may take the ground that they
were the victims rather than the tempters
of the grating councilmen. The law,
however, should draw no fine lines OF
distinction in such a case between the
bribe giver and the bride taker. It is
not particularly important, as far as the
public welfare is concerned. whether the
initiative of the corruption comes from the
legislation enacting or the legislation
seeking side. The vitality important thing
is to punish both the bride giver and the
bribe taker SO severely that this traffic
in laws and ordinances will be discouraged
and prevented.

A Truncated Speakership.

At the beginning of the special ses-
sion last year the democrats of the
House favored a proposition to deprive
the Speaker Of the power to appoint the
committees. At the caucus the other
night they ran away from the PROPOSE
tion- Mr.. Sims, who presented it, could
not get vote on it. A motion to al
journ carried and cut him off in the
bloom of his reforming youth.
This power Of appointment is the pow
er of the speakership. Take it away and
little would be left to that place. The
man holding it would be no more than
a presiding officer, and need possess no
higher equipment than a knowledge OF
parliamentary law and a judicial tenn
permanent A capacity for political lead
ership would be superfuous. He would
have no opportunity to demonstrate such
a capacity II he possessed it.
Here, indeed, would be revolution. For
one thing, would men Of the first grade
In House circles seek the truncated Of
fee? It would not only be without pow
er. but hindrance to the display Of
strong qualities for business. The
Speaker rarely descends to the floor to
take part in debate. No matter how i'm
portant the subject, and no matter how
full his qualifications to handle it, he
keeps his seat and merely listens. The
honors of the contest are for others and
his honors the previous selecting Of the
contestants for their places. But if de-
prfved of all power in organizing, the
House, and nailed to his seat while bat
ties were on, he would count for next to
nothing
Did this view of matters bring about
adjournment Thursday night, leaving Mr.
Sims and his reform resolution in the air?
Mr.. Clark is not a man to long for a mere
bauble. He is one Of the veterans in the
House. and knows all of the ms and outs
and the values of that body. There would
be little for him, and less for his party, in
chair shorn Of all influence on legisla-
ton. He does not shine as parliament
tartan. His uses as Speaker would be in
the way Of helping to shape measures by
the weight of the gavel.
If the next House is democratic and Mr.
Clark the Speaker we shall all be enter
tanned and instructed by his course in the
office. The republican leader will be the
redoubtable and tyrannical Mr.. Cannon,
whose acts in the chair have SO often pro-
voked Mr.. Clark to stern censure. Shall
we see the Missourian show the Illi-
noisan how the chair should be filed to
the glory and welfare of our beloved
country, and without regard to party ad-
vantage? Well! Wait. Just wait. And
while waiting recall what Judge Crisp did
to Mr.. Reed, and remember that it was
a plenty.
