Secretary Kennedy Of Company Here On Visit
Says There Could Be No Misinterpretaton Of the
Annual Report. -.-fieures Mean Net Recovery.

Recent developments point to the
fact that the estimate of the por-
phyry ore on the estate of the Gil
roux Mines company was by far
too conservative. Those who have
figured out the matter to their own
satisfaction are profoundly i'm
pressed with this fact, and declare
that very much larger tonnage of
porphyry ore would have been
nearer the mark than that of g.
$1,000 tons. The story published
in the News of last Sunday changed
the sentiment of many in the dis
trict with regard to the potentialities
of the Giroux These people saw at
a glance what great injustice had
been done to the mine and the comp
pany; but there were others who ap-
parently could not believe the eyi-
denee of their own senses. For the
benefit of these doubling Tomases.
the exclusive story published in the
News has been corroborated in every
detail by an official of the Giroux
Consolidated Mines company.
The figures in the official report
show that the net recovery of 1.36
per cent in copper will give return
of 262, 100000 pounds of the red
metal At the present price of cop
per, 12la cents a pound, this means
S32, 100000. Figuring the cost of
treatment at the high price of nine
cents pound, amounting to S23,-
$4,000. there would remain a
profit of $9,170.000. added to which
I - he
silver contents of the ore. $5,772, 600
makes a total profit on the porphyry
ore of 4.942, 900. Where is there
copper property any place in the
world which can make such a show
ing, or one-half as good after 16
months development? And these
returns are based upon the most
conservative estimates.
This showing it must be remember
ed, Is exclusive of the ore bodies OF
the Alpha. which part of the prop
erty is another mine in itself. a
mine. with hardly a doubt, bigger
and more valuable than that of the
porphyry zone. No estimate was
made of the ore in the Alpha work
ings. nor of the prospective value
of the contact ore bodies; all OF
which must be added to the wealth
of the porphyry ores.
Frederic r. Kennedy, secretary OF
the Giroux as we'll as others of the
Cole-Ryan properties has been in the
district for a week past. leaving here
yesterday morning for Arizona. Mr..
Kennedy spent most of his time at
the mine, going over the property
and the returns from the drillholes.
Il was more than pleased with
the showing in the Alpha workings,
said Mr.. Kennedy. Il saw plenty of
high grade ore in the Alpha mine /.

chant of Ely, is not going to leave

Mr.. Wade's change of heart came
with discoveries which were made to
him as to real conditions of the dis

than he can now be found in Ely.
He has absolute faith in the imme-

Receives ScaIp Wound.

Rev. George Buckle, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, slipped
on the icy pavement in front of the
Wilson Bates furniture store, We'd
nesday morning. and fell striking the
back of his head on the step leading
into the store. which rendered him

REORGANIZATION PLAN
NEARING PERFECTION
REPORTED THAT ELY CENTRAL
COMMITTEE HAVE SUFFICIENT
FUNDS SUBSCRIBED TO PAY
OFF DEBTS OF COMPANY.

The plans of reorganization of the
Ely Central Copper company are go-
ing ahead apace, and from all ac-
counts are approaching perfection.
According to a letter received this
week by Lee Gloekner from party
In touch with the workings of the
committee on reorganization, enough
money has already been subscribed
by stockholders to pay off the debts
of the company. Presumably this
is exclusive of the outstanding bonds
on which the company has until July
/. TO pay the interest.
Mr.. Glockner's correspondent
states that since the committee has
raised money to pay the debts of the
company, there is no need for the
rest of the stockholders paying the
full assessment of fifteen cents AT
one time; that he feels quite certain
that the committee will accept any
reasonable payment which the stock
holders sends along with his stock
in addition to the assurance that
the remainder of the assessment will
be forthcoming also in a reasonable
time. The following excerpt from
the letter covers this ground:
Regarding the assessment, yor
may tell the Ely stockholders thai
any of them who are not able to
meet the assessment as announced
In the plan, will probably receive
consideration, If they will write and
state just how they can make theil
payments. l do not think the com
mittee has any intention of freezinl

fore the committee makes its final
report.
Out of respect of the memory of
those who lost their lives in the Bel
mont mine disaster, both branches
of the legislature passed appropriate
resolutions and at time the funeral
was scheduled to take place in
Tonopha, each member sat at his
seat with bowed head for five min
utes.
The bill compelling foreign eorpor-
ations to publish an annual account
of their business will be repealed If
the assembly takes the same view of
the matter as did the senate, which
law as Ii now stands on the statute
books. Some of the senator's
thought the bill was simply intended
for the purpose of giving the news
papers a chance to graft. Ii is un-
derstood that the assembly will ap-
point an investigating committee to
see II there is newspaper in the
state at the present time making ex-
penses.
Arnold of Esmeralda introduced a
resolution In the assembly recon-
mending that the University of Ne
yada be used for the purpose of
housing the Divorces at Reno. The
president and regents af the univers-
ity sent a telegram TO the assembly
protesting against such resolutions
being submitted TO the legislature
and further stated that the univers-
ity was receiving great deal of sup
port from people from other states
and that such resolutions would not

C|ROUX SHAFT
At l400 LEVEL
WATER IN OLD ALPHA WORK
INGS DROPPING At RATE OF
THREE FEET DAILY THROUGH
FIsSURES IN BIG CROSSCUT.

The fve-compartment shaft of the
Giroux Consolidated Mines company
has been completed to the 400
foot level. The work was finished on
last Tuesday night. and there is now
quarter of a mile of shafting from
the surface down into the bowels OF
the earth. AT the 400 a station
will be cut and a erosscut driven
parallel to that at the 1900 out To
the ore body of the Alpha. A pump
with a capacity of lifting 600 gallons
of water a minute will be installed
at the new level.
At the 1900 they are more than
half the way to the Alpha. shaft
When they started the water in the
old Alpha shaft was up to the floor
of the 1,000-foot level, or 200 feet
above where they were working.
Now that water Is being lowered at
the rate of three feet day. 1t is
now down 50 feet from the 1000
foot level, and the electric pump on
the 900 which had been employed
to keep the water below the level.
is out of commission. There Is no
further use for It, The water is be-
ing lowered through the 1.200-foot
erosseut. Sometime since the shots
in the face. of the crosscut started a
gush of water through a crack. The
work was kept on and more water
came into the erosscut
More than week ago they got
out of this wet spot and are now
working in dry ground; but the
water continues to pour into the
working behind the men in two
steady streams, and the water in the
Alpha shaft continues to fall. At
the present writing there are 115
feet of water above where the men
are working. but if they should blow
the face of the crosscut right into
the Alpha shaft the water could
rush into the crosscut in flood and
do no harm to the big shaft, for
there are 200 feet of fve-compart-
ments below the level which could
hold more water than the Alpha
shaft can produce down to the 1900
without trouble or damage.
There is plenty of water, but not
yet have the capacities of the 600
and 1900 gallon a minute pumps
been tested. for the occasion has not
arisen. The water is the big study
of the management now, for upon
its volume and quantity depends
whether the eoncentrator Is to be
erected upon the companys ground

as good times as were ever seen in
the district.
Il have done 100000 work of
business since | came to Ely and
now believe that the business can be
done again. Don't tell me that there
is no money in the district. During
the 40 days the clearance sale has
been on, we have sold $4,000 worth
of goods. That is a pretty good in
dex of conditions here; good enough
to satisfy me. Tonight We begin tear
ing down the signs which have
adorned the windows and walls of
the store for the last 40 days; and
Immediately We commence renovat-
ing the store and making extensive
improvements.
There are several movements on
in the district, the execution of any
one of which would be the signal for
for the onward march of improve
ment and the dawning of new and
greater prosperity. ! am going to
stay here and get in on the wave of
prosperity"
The Improvements in the store
comprise the extending of the build
ing out to Clark street. so that the
store will front on that thorough
fare as we'll as on Aultman street. AT
the Clark street entrance a ladies'
waiting room will be fitted up with
all conveniences and comforts. where
ladies may take shelter while waiting
for the trains which will be but a
step away. There will be comfort
able seats, toilet room, public
telephone and all other conveniences,
filing a long felt want.
