BOND ISSUE TO
PURCHASE LINE
capitalization of Santa Fe to Be
Increased 500, 900, 900 to Aid in
Purchasing Leased Line Between
Needles and MojaVe.

That the proposed new bond issue
of $10O,O00,0 900 common stock, which
the stockholders of the Atchison To
peka & Santa Fe railroad will be ask
ed to make, is partially, at least, for
the purchase of the main line of the
Arizona and Valley divisions OF the
Santa Fe between Needles and Mo-
jave, which is now being operated un-
der a ninety-nine year lease from the
Southern Pacific company, which
owns the right-of-way, has come to
light.
The stockholders of the railroad
will be asked at their annual meeting
in October to sanction the purchase
of the line.
The road is a little over 200 miles
in length, and was built many years

ago by the Southern Pacific. Some
years ago, however, the Santa Fe be
came desirous of obtaining possession
of it for main line use, and at the
same time it became known that the
Southern Pacific was anxious to get
possession of the Santa Fe's branch
between Nogales and Guaymas, Mex
leo.
An agreement of exchange was
reached, but some technicality under
the Mexican laws prevented clear
titles from passing.
The Santa Fe finally obtained a
ninety-nine year lease of the Mojave-
Needles line of the Southern Pacific,
and the Southern Pacific got lease
for a similar term of years of the No
posed by the Santa Fe to purchase
the Mojave-Needles line outright and
get clear title thereto. Money for the
property will probably be obtained
from the proposed new bond issue OF
$1OO 900 900 common stock which the
stockholders will be asked to sane
tion The Santa Fe has need Of con-
siderable financing if plans under
consideration for extension and bet
terment are carried out, and it has
been decided to ask the stockholders
stock from $250,000, 900 to $3.50, ,OOO,-

Big -Four Lease.

Last week the crosscut from the
400-foot level of the Steen-Poak- CT
Gala lease on the Big Four broke
into the vein at point about 70
feet from the shaft, but it will re-
quire three or four days of drifting
on the ore to catch the ore shoot,
which yielded such an excellent ton
mage of high grade ore from the
300-foOt level to the surface.
The mine is in splendid condition.
The latest development gives over
100 feet of stopping ground on the
dip of the vein which will yield
a big tonnage of high grade ore
while there are hundreds of tons
of payable ore in the upper levels
and also on the dump.
The leasers last week paid ovel
$4,000 in wages alone, and theil
plans for the future working of the
property are on much larger scale
than is generally believed.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1911-09-05

The three leases in operation on
the property of the Crescent Mining
company are all developing in a very
promising manner.
At the Rupp-Nelson lease on the
Reilly fraction the drift is out 80
feet in fair grade ore and the
south crosscut in Gold Crater ground
is also looking better.
On the Crescent claim, the Cres-
cent Leasing company's shaft is
now down lao feet in milling ore
At the 150-foot level a drift will
be run to the ore shoot opened up
on the 100-foot level last month.
At the Kasparson lease on the
Riley fraction the shaft is down 80
feet and crosscuts are being run
through a mineralized formation car
rying numerous stringers, some OF
which pan very promising values.

White Cans Busy.

Good progress is being made at
the White Caps lease, where two
shifts of miners are engaged in sink
ing the shaft which is now nearing
the 130-foot level. The ore body
is from 8 to 9 feet wide and still
carries the splendid values of from
SIS to $50 a ton, over 100 tons
of this grade being now on the
dump The inflow of water is only
moderate and is easily handled with
bucket
The most favorable fact in con-
nection with this ore body is that
the values are steadily increasing
at depth, and the White Caps gives
every indication of being a great
producer of high-grade ore

Consolidated.

The Silver Pick claim of the Man
haitian Consolidated is beginning to
assume an air of activity in pleasing
contrast to its deserted appearance
a month ago.
On the western end, about $50
feet from the east boundary of the
Forman fraction is the Kendall
lease, which covers a length of 337
feet on the vein. Here a raise is
being made to surface from the
workings Of an old leasing shaft
and in few days the leasers will
have a new shaft 80 feet deep from
surface, timbered and ready for the
electric hoist, which is to be in
stalled. In making this raise ore is
being stopped from a streak from 16
to 20 inches wide averaging from
500 to $50 a ton, and the tonnage
of this grade of ore is rapidly in
creasing on the dump.
East, adjoining this, is the Mush-
ett-Wittenberg lease covering $50
feet on the vein Here the gallows
frame is being erected at the new
shaft, which is timbered down 65
feet. The electric hoist and trans
formers are in position, power will
be connected in day or two and
underground operations will then be
resumed.
Only so feet east of this shaft
work has been started on the new
shaft on the Steiner lease, which
covers 205 feet west of the COM
pany's main shaft and 120 feet cast
Of it.
In til companys old workings
from tho lot foot level 70 tn, old

of ore developed, assaying from SIG
to SIS, and the ore on the 200-foot

Ledge Struck on Mineral Hill.

I4euSc Stftick on Mineral Hill.
Last week the tunnel at the Min
eral Hill property broke into the
ledge which, in the shaft sunk on
the hill above, was four feet wide.
1t is. to soon yet to give the width
of the vein in the tunnel, as the
miners had only just broken into
it. The tunnel will be continued
through the vein which will then
be drifted on to the ore shoot.
At the Burr-Thomas lease, on the
summit of the hill, the ore shoot is
still producing high-grade ore from
the southwest drift, where the rich
streak is from s to 10 inches wide.
Much of this ore is worth 81 a
pound and the remainder ASSAYS
not less than 800 ton. In the
last few days this streak of ore has
given stronger indications of con-
tinuing to depth and widening in
the assure.

Rich Shoot on Jumping Jack.

Last week the drift from the so
foot level of the Jumping Jack shaft
broke into what is apparently the
north end of the ore shoot opened
up on the surface of the Putnam
Kendall lease. At present the val
ues, which run as high as 500 a
ten, are irregular through the vein
and it will require several more
shifts to determine the full width
and values of the shoot.
The drift is now out $50 feet
from the shaft and about under the
surface workings, but as the shoot
is pitching to the south it may re-
quire another 20 feet of drifting to
reach the solid shoot of high grade
ore.
The prospecting shaft on the sgr
face is now down about 50 feet on
the ore which maintains it's width

SIl,653 WORTH OF
BULLION SHIPPED
FROM EARL LEASE
Consolidated Property Is Scene
of Much Actiyity---Ledge Is
Struck on Big Four Lease.
(FrOm the Manhattan POst.)

(From the Manhattan POst.)
A partial cleanup was made by
John Swanson at the War Eagle
mill this week, approximately 1000
tons OF ore from his lease on the
Earl claim having been treated. AS
part of the proceeds, Swanson sent
to the mint last week two bars of
gold bullion Weighing Y pounds
ayoirdupois, a bar weighing II
pounds having been shipped. These
together make S3S.35 ounces troy,
which at $3.50 an ounce, the value
Of this shipment amounts to Sill
6j3. This, however, is by no means
the total value recovered as the
returns have yet to be received from
the zinc precipitates which will be
shipped to Selby & Co., San Fran
cisco. Ore from this lease is still
being treated and it is estimated
that the present mill run will
amount to 1900 tons.
At the lease, ore averaging $40
ton is being raised from the $50
level, but the best part of the mine
is the 25O-level where two shoots of
good ore have been opened.
To mine this ore the shaft will
he sunk 100 feet and a pump in

Ledge on Gold Crater,

The Royston-Jones lease on the
Gold Crater claim. adjoining the
Jumping Jack on the south, broke
into ledge this week at depth
of 120 feet, The ore occurs in a
contact of lime and quartzite, is the
full width of the shaft, and while
not high grade, carries sufficiently
good values to justify the belief that
drifting on it at greater depth
a high-grade shoot will be opened
up, and sinking on the vein is now
in progress.
The lease is owned by officials of
the Tonopah and Belmont mills al

Assailing the Beet Sugar fnd,istr,

1t is a matter for surprise that
the beet sugar industry has attain
ed its present magnitude in this
country, In view of the persistent
attacks made upon 1t from the out
set.
1t was still ia its swaddling
clothes. when importers of cane
sugar and refiners foresaw that IL
was likely to expand and every ef-
fort was put forth to create senti-
ment against it by deriding Its pos
sibilities.
An attempt TO put it out Of bust
ness by cutting prices failed. and
then the Cuban treaty was lobbied
through Congress by a cane refin-
ing company by which 1t was given a
concession. admitted by its present
head to be of no benefit to Cuban
people. 1t certainly does not ben
eft the government or people OF
the United States. with the excep-
ton OF the cane importers and re-
liners.
In all the testimony submitted be
fore the house special committee
there crops out from time to time
evidence which should satisfy Con
gress that the worst possible thing
for this country would be to take
off the slight tariff protection af-
forded IL and turn the sugar trade
of the country over to importers
and reflners of foreign sugar. Ed
win f. Atkins. acting head OF the
American Sugar Refining Co.
against whom the probe is particu-
iarly directed. and who owns vast
sugar properties in Cuba and is
sp ecialIy Interested. admitted that
the removal of the tariff on raw
sugar would ruin the domestic cane
industry in Louisiana and the beet
sugar industry In other states.
