rust company had closed its doors in
al Its several branches. Like 8 prairie
nfe the news of calamity spread, and
only the courage of the people prevent
ca other banks from being ~engulfed
IN the tremendous whirlpool of sudden
disaster. The Nye & Ormsby County
bank tottered and swayed, and almost
IN a night Nevada was doing business
on a clearing house basis.
"Then was when Goldfeld Consoli-
dated touched low water mark. Money
must be had at all odds and money was
at a premium. Only the self sacrifice
and the heroism of a couple Of men at
this juncture prevented general calam-
ity in Nevada. Consolidated dropped
to around So, and fortunes were made
by people who had ready money and
the wisdom to buy at those prices.
"Then began the slow work of re.
construction. Day by day the task of
renewing confidence has gone on. Stead
lily has the great Goldfeld property
demonstrated to a doubtful world that
it is the greatest gold mine this coun-
try has ever known. With firm and
able hands guiding it and controlling
its destiny it has proved itself the min

dividend after dividend of such size

MILLING MACHINERY FOR
NATIONAL MINES ARRIVE

WINNEMUCCA, June 16.-The new
mill to be installed on the ground OF
the National Mining company of Ne
yada has arrived here and the machin-
cry has been loaded on the wagons of
Frey's big team, which is en- route for
the camp of National.
The new mill is what is known as
the Lane Slow Speed mill and is of the
Chilean type and is of forty tons daily
capacity. This mill is to be located at
the loot of Charleston hill, at the
mouth of the company's lower tunnel,
and work has progressed so far thai
the building is about ready for the in
stallation of the machinery. When
completed this mill is to be used for
the reduction of the lower grade ores
being extracted from the company
workings.
On all the dumps of the National
Mining Company of Nevada, and in
GLIDING the famous Stall lease, which
is part of the same holdings, there is
a big tonnage of milling ore. At the
present time the extremely high grade
ore that is coming out of the Stall
lease is being treated in a small pan
arrastra mill built especially for and
ling ore that is valued at 81 per pound
and upward. On the ground being op'
Grated by the company another such
mill is grinding the high grade ore
from that part of the bonanza prop

Special excursions are already be-
ing planned by a representative dele
CATION of oil men from this city to
many of the most important oil fields
of the southwest with a view to en-
listing the cooperation of this new
branch and to arrange for the oil
men s attendance at the congress.
The greatest hopes for a record at.
tendance, however, lies in the fact
that the American Mining congress,
after three years of hard struggle
has induced the passage of a bill in
Washington providing for a fcderal
bureau of mines, which mean gov
ernmental recognition of mining after
years of virtual neglect of the sub
iect.
BY this victory, in the face of the
determined opposition on the part of
powerful forces which did net wan
to see mining pass beyond the control
of the geological survey, the mining
congress has proven that it has finally
become a power in national legisla-
ton and its members generally now
realize that it will only take one
more determined effort to secure full
est. reorganization. This effort will
crystalize at the coming mining con-
vention.

CONSOLIDATION
Of ORC and
BOOTH

Orc and Booth stocks are showing up
with much strength on the local board,
Orc selling at s cents, with a clear
gain of 2 cents over the opening Mon
day, and Booth strong at 1916, two
or three cents higher than the quota
lions of the past couple OF weeks. Ru-
mors of a consolidation of Booth and
Orc ground, with the two stocks trans
ferred on a basis of equality, together
with the start of operations on Orc
ground, are probably the cause OF the
rise. A recent news article published
IN New York City says:

erty. While the output from this won
derful property, in the way of bullion
and which is now being sent out at
regular intervals, is only the product
of the high grade ores-in fact, ore
that is worth $40 to 800 to the pound.
Still the output from this bonanza
property, which is only in its infancy,
has placed the holdings of the com
pany among the richest mines in the
state of Nevada.
With the new mill in operation the
bullion output of the camp will be
largely increased. This class of ore has
been accumulating on the many dumps
ever since the ground was first open
ed some two years ago. In very near
ly all the levels the ledge shows a
width of about five feet, while in the
very lowest workings the vein is even
of greater width. The fabulously rich
ore is found in shoots from two inches
to almost a foot thick which occur at
intervals in the ledge. But in every
instance the so-called shoots go to great
depth as has been demonstrated in the
c~ompany's workings. One of these
shoots has been followed down to a
depth of 460 feet and it is still going
down. This rich ore is a finty white
quartz so i~mpregnated with the yellow
metal that many pieces being taken
out ave the appearance Of being solid
nuggets of gold.

"For the first time in many, many

in the fall of 1906, the great merger
was formed. At that time every stock

a man had discharged a shotgun on the

NEW YORK, June Avail street
gossip has it that another merger of
property in the Goldfeld district is be-
ing planned by George Wingfeld and
associates. Although Wingield, when
approached on the subject, would say
nothing more than 81 believe in cen
tralization as much as possible 1T Is
a fact that for some time past there
has peer a slow, quiet and steady ab-
| sorption of Orc, Booth and kewanas
| stock, these purchases always being
calculated to create no furries In the
market.
The ground embraced IN the Lind
lease on the Booth and part OF the
Orc ground is operating under terms
which impose practically no restriction
as to the extraction of ore. Wingfeld
practically controls both Booth and
Orc and these are entirely outside OF
the usual Wingfeld methods. However
It is believed that Wingfeld has been
waiting to see whether the Red TOP
vein system proved in the CONSOLIDATED
workings almost at the sidelines OF the
Booth and Orc, penetrated that ground
Recent developments in the Line lease
seem to prove conclusively that the Red
Top vein does cross this ground, al
though as yet the lease has been unable
to extract shipping ore in quantity.
The belief is current here and well
founded that Wingfield is planning
merger of the Booth, Orc, Coiumbi;
Mountain and Kewanas properties, al
contiguous and lying IN the dlree
course of the Red Top vein in It's dil
to the east and its extension to tn
north, as proved by the Consolidate
working in the Red Top, Miss Jessi
and Laguna claims. In fact, it is pos
sible that it will be shown that par
of the Red Top vein apexes within tn
endlines of the Booth, and if this shoul'
prove to be the case, Wingfeld coui'
bring apex litigation against the Con
solidated and secure for his other cofn
pany a big slice of mining territory.
AS stated, the talk in regard 20 {
merger is as yet only a ~well-definee
rumor. but if it is pulled through II
means greatly enhanced prices for tn'
stocks involved, for the reason thai
exhaustive development would be as
sured, and this development would be
greatly helped by the knowledge pos
sessed by wingfeld of the developments
in the nearby workings of the cons'li
dated.

testified that he was sent by Mr.. Par
sons to make arrangements for his
wife and daughter to remove from the
Brown Palace hotel in Denver to an
other hotel where the expenses would
be lighter, and that when he called on
Mrs. Parsons and informed her of her
husbands desire in that matter both
she and her daughter were highly in
dignant and declared that they would
not remove to any hotel suggested by
Mr.. Parsons. The witness said that
he censured them for their action in
that matter, and they practically or
dered him out of the room.
In thesmorning session of court Mr..
Parsons told of the frequent demands
for money he received from his wife
while she was abroad and of the let
ters telling of the alleged duels be-
tween Gabriel D'AnnunZio and the
count of Turin over his daughter. He
said that he made a thorough investi-
CATION of the D'Annunzip affair and
learned that at the time he was sup
posed to have been fighting the duel
as related by Mrs. Parsons he was in
Rome rehearsing one of his new plays.
Mr.. Parsons declared that he was
thoroughly convinced of the falsity OF
the statements made by his wife in
that respect and that it worried him to
think that Mrs. Parsons would view
with complacency, even in her imag-
ination. an affair with a man of the
reputation of DAnnunzio. After learn
ing of that incident he wrote at once
and urged wife and daughter to return
to America From that time on his
one desire was to get them back on
this side of the Atlantic.

SCENE OF GOLD STRIKE

Ell PASO, Feb. 1S.-B. Palmer, a
miner who has been prospecting for
some time in the vicinity of Tularosa,
n. NJ, arrived in Eel Paso yesterday
morning and reported a rich strike of
gold ore in the White mountains, about
1875 miles northeast of Ell Paso. Palmer
brought in number of samples. After
careful assay a statement was IS
sued showing that the samples con-
tanned gold to the value of $1116 ton.
Palmer says he gathered the speci-
mems of ore from a ledge about eigh-
teen inches in width almost entirely
on top of the ground Small fragments
were broken off for distance of about
sixteen feet and from these fragments
the assay was made.
A. w. Houek, who made the assay,
says the samples of ore presented by
Palmer We're of a limestone forma-
ton and contained free gold in large
quantities. One fragment he estimated
would, if assayed alone, show values
to the amount of several thousand dol

success. At last, however, he awakened
his congregation by asking:
Does ye know what eternity is?
Well, tell yo'.

GIRL SPENDS $4,000
SEARCHING FOR TITLE
Mr.. Parsons Says He Has Expended
$4,000 on Wife and Daugh-
ter Last Seven Years

SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. S.--A de-
tailed statement of the moneys eX-
pended by Mrs. Jennie b. Parsons and
her daughter, Neva, in their trip
abroad was introduced in evidence by
Charles e. Parsons in the divorce ac-
tion between them in Judge -Iorse's
court showing that the search for a
titled husband for Miss Parsons cost
her father between $4,000 and $4,000
This was at the rate of $4,000 a year
After all this lavish expenditure of
money by Mr.. Parsons, he told the
court when his wife md daughter re-
turned to Denver from their tour of
Europe they refused to have anything
to do with him and at once charged
him with immoral conduct in their
absence using as a basis of their
charge the fact that they had received
telegraphic messages tolling them of
his conduct
Mr. Parsons. in his examination also
gave detailed statement of the
money he had given his wife and
daughter ever since the remarriage in
Denver in 1901. From that year to
and including the year 1908, he SAID
he had given them $34, ,405.54 for their
own living expenses. When the trouble
arose between them in Denver, shortly
after the return of the wife and
QduSllCI
giving them $3.50 a month and also
allowed them credit at different stores
which amounted to $731 in the year
1905.
Didn't Remarry for Love
Mr.. Parsons denied that he ever
made the statement that he could or
would get a divorce from Mrs. Parsons
on the ground of insanity because of
her belief in telepathy. Soon after
their return to Denver, he said, his
daughter told him that her mother
came back from Europe with the fixed
intention of living apart from him.
On cross-examination Mr.. Parsons
admitted that he did not remarry his
wife on account of love for her, but
solely on account of his daughter.
Under the circumstances, he declared
that he could not have any very great
love for his wife. He denied, however,
that he ever intimated that he wanted
her to go to a sanitarium for the in
sane in California. Mr.. Parsons was
still under cross-eXamination when

WATER DlSC0URAGES
NEWPORT DRILLERS

NEWPORT, Feb. 12.-Water troubles
hamper what ought to be a good OIL
district, if there is anything in the
overwhelming indications of petroleum
found in wells, one of two having sue
ceeded in getting through the Watery
tiood and producing some oil. The
chances are that the Kellerman well
will have to be abandoned and plugged
and another started with the aid of the
experience gained.
Failure after failure in cementing has
been experienced. the cement refusing
to set, owing to the flood that has in
vaded the hole. The Balboa company
is still striving to finish its hole. 1t
has oil beyond doubt, and probably in
quantities, if it can finish properly.
It's chances are said to be better than
before.
