BIG PROFITS AND
SMALL MINE COSTS
Results Came Largely From
Development Work in Ore
Bodies.

Few DEVELOPMENTS OF late in the min
Ing world have created the favorable
impression that has attended the Tono-
pah Belmont Development conpany's S
annual report The western views OF this
mine are we'll known and they are re-
Ylected In eastern comments. as will be
seen from the following comment OF
Thompson, Towle & Co:
OF the various reports OF precious
metal mining companies OF the onited
States for the past year, one OF the
most striking Is that OF Tonopah Bel
mont The report shows that very rapid
progress has been made at this prop
erty which. up to a few years ago, was
but little known,
During the year which terminated Feb
ruary 2s net earnings amounted 70

There were treated Sl.o66 tons which

and from comparatively small amount

Probably the most significant feature
OF the report Is the marked increase IN
value of the ore treated. that sent. TO

with si4.io for the previous year Al

s7.7S TO 1914. In milling. notwithstand-
ing the increased cyanide consumption,
refining and other changes due 10 great
er metal contents, costs were but cents
per ton higher than for the preceding
period.
The company's ore reserves in the Bel
mont vein consist OF 250,324 tons of posi-
tive ore and 1918 tons of probable ore,
or q total of 443,03S tons. The report
states that the total estimated tonnage
by no means eXhausts the possibilities of
the property and that the figures given
may be considered very moderate and
safe, rather than excessive. Owing to
the erratic values of the ore and the
difficulties attending an estimate of
same. the value has not been given.
new vein not yet prospected was inter-
sected by the Belmont shaft at sixty
feet below the 1000 foot level. This lode
may supply much ore. while the possible
extensions Of the earlier exploited veins
may be found
Since the end OF the fiscal year Tono-
pah Belmont has made a good record,
figures for March showing net profits
OF s169.236. This was considerably in
excess OF the two preceding months.

SALT LAKER SENDS
OUT ORES Of ZINC
CerrO Gordo Property Again
Produces at Behest of
Utah Operator.

Lewis d Gordon, the Salt Lake min
ing man now operating the famous old
Cerro Gordo mine OF California under a
lease, arrived In the city on Saturday
from Los Angeles. lie states that he now
has about 500 tons OF zinc ore on the
road to the Kansas zinc smelters, the
ore running close TO 38 per cent zinc.
Years ago the Cerro Gordo mine was
producing silver and lead ores, and In
the neighborhood OF $20.o00,ooo worth
was marketed, On a recent examina.
tion OF The mine Gordon discovered that
the zinc ores which the later development
work had brought to view would serve
as ideal food for the market with zinc
al its present satisfactory price level
and the leasing OF the property by him
followed.
The ore now en- route TO the smelters
came from the 400-foot level. and the
same ore has been developed on the 200
700 and 900 levels as well. The ore is a
carbonate and silicatc and the search
for the ore should be accomplished al
the minimum of expense, as IL follows
closely the old slopes driven by the orig
miles OF underground workings in this
mine.
There is a tramway from the mine to
the railroad tracks some five miles dis
tant. and within the coming six months
Gordon expects to be shipping from 40
TO so tons daily,

The Game Was Played In charIestsH
as Early as 1898.
Golf was played in Charleston a.
far back as 1888. In the City Gazette
or Daily Advertiser of Sept. q, 1871,
appears the following notice:
Anniversary of the South Carolina
Golf club will be held at Williams
coffee house on Thursday, 29th inst,
when members are requested to at
tend at 2 o'clock precisely, that the
business of the club may be transact.

For several years following may be
found calls for the anniversary meet
ings to be held at the clubhouse on
Harleston's green a tract of land
south of Boundary now Calhounl
street, between the present Coming
and Rutledge streets.
The fact that 1t was the anniversary
meeting in 1901 would show that the
club had been organized before that
date, but unfortunately the file OF
newspapers In the Charleston library
Is not complete for some years just
prior. ard one finds no earlier notices
Of meetings or mention of the club
But in the same journal of Sept. Is
1888, there Is an advertisement Of an
auction sale of farm on Charleston
Neck. between three and four miles
from the city, adjoining Cochran's
shlpyard, bounding In part on Ship
yard creek, which. after describing the
different items OF property included In
the sale. states that there Is lately
erected that pleasing and genteel
amusement, the golf baan." This GER
tainly indicates that golf was one Of
the local amusements Of that dag.
The word "baan" English.Dutrh
dictionary means path, walk, way,
etc, and golf. according to the Ency
clcpaedia Britannica, is derived frcn.
