stall a new electric hoist and a pump

minute.
The mine will have a capacity of
1000 tons a day production. The
Mason Valley smelter contract calls
for delivery of 800 tom daily from
the date of the completion of the
smelter. The mining company will
also construct at once bunk houses,
boarding houses, stables and all
other necessary buildings for the
convenience of the miners.
The company reports in Its diff
ferent properties, $4,000 tons of ore
in sight and ready for delivery. This
big tonnage is divided as follows:
Douglas Hill, 100000 tons; Douglas
Hill dump, $4,000 tons; Ludwig

as a consequence when the Chinese
emerge from their quarters to the
open air they will escape much con-
tamination. 1t is said by the medical
authorities that such an epidemic as
the present, which is entirely pneu-
monte, has not visited the world
since the Middle Ages.
Owing to the political question in
volved and the presence of foreign
ers along the railways, the plague in
Manchuria is receiving greater at
tention than the famine, but the
death rate from the famine is many
times greater than that from the
plague.
The famine is the result of the de-
struction of the crops by a sixteen
inch rain In two days last August In
a district where the people ordinarily
have a hand-to-mouth existence. As
soon as the first pangs of hunger
were felt, the people left their homes
but many of them we're unable to
get beyond the borders of the devas-
tated district. They returned ana
took up the death struggle beside
their homesteads.
A relief committee of foreigners
at Shanghi is collecting money. So
far Japan and America are the only
foreign countries that have contribut-
ed to the sufferers, but ven the TX
tensive assistance that has come
from the United States is inadequate.
1t is estimated that two million
people are without food and are ex-
listing on roots, grasses or anything
that affords the slightest possibility
of n~ourishment. Those possessing
grain guard it night and day.

IS WORST
SINCE MIDDLE AGES
DISEASE AND FAMINE ARE
SWEEPING OVER CHINA AND
NUMBER OF DEATHS WILL
REACH MILLION MARK.

Famine and the plague are sweep
ing over China. The known deaths
number 10000 and according to the
official statistics the death rate aver
ages 200 daily. But officials have
little knowledge of conditions in the
interior or are not permitting the
facts TO be known.
Ii is impossible TO estimate the
number of deaths that have resulted
from lack of food. DIR. Samuel Coch-
ran, an American, who is engaged in
the work of relief, writes.
One million people VIII die be-
fore the first crop is harvested. This
will be scanty. because the people
have not the strength to till the soil,
and no animals remain for blowing"
The Chinese, for political reasons,
are directing their efforts to control
the plague chiefly along the railways
and frontiers. Since the recent
Russian request for permission to
cross the border and quarantine
Chinese towns along the Amur.
China has been attempting to check
the plague along that frontier, but
the Russian legation say this has
been done ineffectively because there
are no doctors there familiar with
modern methods of sanitation.
Although the central government
has issued explicit orders, both sup
plies and funds are lacking.
Japanese and Russians have both
offered assistance, but only in a few
places have these offers been accept
ed, the Chinese not liking to receive
fayors from foreigners, whose politi-
cal motives they distrust.
Physicians combating the disease
believe that warm weather will kill
the germs, although this may bring
only a temporary respite. If ths
plague were of the bubonic type, the
summer heat would serve to aug
ment 1t.
The pneumonia type Is transmitted

NEVADA DOUGLAS DIRECTORS
CNDERWRITE STOCK ISSUES
VIII Take 10000 Shares Now In
Company's IRE ssury.

At the meeting of directors of the
Nevada Douglas Copper Co., called
for the purpose of considering plans
to refinance the company, the direc-
tors, personally agreed to under
write 40, 900 shares of treasury stock
at 81 a share. The $4,000 will be
applied to the purchase of equipment
at the mine, needed to handle the
tonnage expected.
Also it is planned to build at once
a gravity tramway from the Douglas
Hill ore body to the Douglas siding
on the Copper Belt Railroad, which
is being constructed rapidly toward
the Nevada Douglas mine. Sidings
and ore bins will be put in at Copper
Basis, Douglas Siding, Ludwig, the
Ludwig copper deposits and the
gypsum deposits. 1t is also planned
to make an extension of the Truckee
River power line to the Ludwig and
Douglas mines. The Ludwig will in

UTAH VIEW OF
DEEP CREEK R.R.
SPEAKS OF MANY ADVANTAGES
THAT WILL ACCRUE TO ALL
TiON OF LINE.

Relative to the much-talked-of rail-
road from Tooele over through Dug
way, Deep Creek and on to Ely, and
the hauling of Giroux ores to the
Tooele smelter, the following from
the Tooele Times throws a little adj
ditional light on the subject:
Rumors are rife again that an eff
fort Is being made TO build a line
from a point on the Salt Lake Route
into Deep Creek and Dugway, and
that If sufficient inducements is Of
fered it will be extended into Ely.
In this connection 1t is claimed that
certain officials of the International
Smelling company, and of the Salt
Lake Route have had a number of
conferences and that prominent men
like Cole and Ryan have suggested
that If the cost will not be too great
they will take some part in raising
the none needed to construct such
a line. The interest of the Cole
Ryan people rs of two-fold impor-
lance.
The Tooele smelling plant Is bad
ly in need of ores of every character.
Deep Creek and Dugway can supply
a fair tonnage of copper, gold and
silver ores, and by extending the
line to Ely, ores from the Giroux
mines could be sen direct to the In
ternational furnaces. This seems
just as feasible as IL was for the Ne
vada Consolidated to build its own
line from Cobre TO Ely in order thai
ii might provide a line for the out
put from its mines. The proposed
road would not eliminate the neces'
sity of Giroux constructing a con-
c~entrating plant a Ely, for
large portion of its product would
have to be milled to be shipped at
profit.
Giroux has an ideal smelling pro
duct. according to reports from al
engineers who have examined its de
posits. A considerable amount O
the sulphide ores is said to be practi
cally a self-fluxing product. and thi'
can be handled to a wonderful ad
vantage as a mixture with the con
centrates. The proposed railroad
will be but very little longer than tbs
Cobre 10 Ely, and with the Interna
tional people interested in the line
a very reasonable rate could be OBJ
tanned for ore hauling from Ely, anC
the profits a%ccruing from this eoulC
be applied to the earnings Of tn,
smelling company. This is practical
ly the same policy that has beer
adopted by the Nevada Consolidated
and accounts in a large measur'
for the low cost of production givel
by Nevada Consolidated. Il is esti
mated that the railroad could b.
built within eighteen months. pos
sibly within a years time. which
would mean that Giroux could b.
made a regular producer early mex
year.
Such a line would be the salvation
of the smelling industry at Tooele
II would be the saving of Deep Greel
and Dugway and would tap evera
other sections in this state and Ne
vada, which would all be tributary Il
this market.

THE HUMAN SIDE
Of BEN T|LLMAN
SENATE CHAMBER Is STILLED
WHILE GREAT SOUTHERNER
IN FEEBLE VOICE PAYS TRIB-
UTE TO FORMER COLLEAGUES

Shall we call il sorrow or awe
that almost indefinable emotion ex-
cited by beholding a great mind
trembling in its collapsed mortal ten
ement?
The mouse may play with i'm
punity around the claws of the dead
lion, but. somehow, even the fallen
majesty of the king of beasts i'm
presses the beholder.
And when a man who has been a
thunderbolt of action comes before
his former associates with his powers
clearly on the wane and seeking only
to record his presence. 1t Is tragic
reminder of mortality's uncertain
tenure.
A great soul that onee could speak
in epigrammatic %eloquence or launch
scholarly inveetf.v is pitiable to be-
hold when it struggles for expression
against physical. weakness and dis
tress. Perhaps that struggle-the
u~nquenched light of the soul flash
ing from its falling temple-perhaps
this is the best proof of immortality
that. comes to mortal observation.
A few days ago the United States
senate set aside a period for tribute
to the memory of the great COM
moner from Iowa, Senator Dolliver,
who lately fell at deaths sudden
stroke. There were some biographi-
cal recitations; some feeling ex-
pressions of admiration for the fall
len colleague. There was even some
small eloquenee which included in
its scope the late Senator Clay.
Following one of the senator's who
with difficulty had extracted himself
from a ~self-wound coil of e%loquence,
there arose a bent and trembling
man. His feeble voice stilled the
chambers undertake even as his
great strong efforts had once left IL
unheard. In the days of old he had
thrown linguistic pitehforks care
lessly around the chamber. He then
clamored for opposition. But now
he spoke as one who was out of the
fray. He spoke as one who was him
self preparing TO pass into the
southland.
The feeble man was the once re-
doubtable Ben Tillman of South Car
DINA. Scholar. orator and partisan
1ronsides, Tillman once held his own
with the best of them. Last March
he was stricken unto death. and eve
now moves feebly about in the shad-
ow of the grim destroyer. His ad-
dress of respect to Dolliver and Clay
was brief. The words We're simple,
the sentiments were new; the pathos
was as old as the time when giants
moaned their expiring words in the
laps of their m%istresses. But withal
1t was a striking scene-almost
tragie-when the erstwhile prickly
genius who grew in the shadow of
palmetto trees-disclosed his purely
human side.
"Mr. President. / have not the
strength do not feel able 10 say
much on this occasion" said Tillman
as he struggled to his feet and lean
er against his desk. 1T is a sad one
for all of us, and particularly sad TO
me, for since | was borne from this
city last March to all intents and
purposes. and the expectations of
myself and my friends, a dead man.
or n who would never return. and
then find that | am here still, | feel
the transitory nature of human life.

another, and soon there is an end. ="

above the $50 level, 100000 tons.
From these workings 1t Is planned
that 800 tons will be mined daily,
averaging 6.87 per cent. The mining
cost, cost of transportation and
smelling charges will aggregate
$685. a ton. The profits on Scent
copper are figured to be $31,950; on
10-cent copper, $41,850; and a.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED
ORE TREATED DURING PERIOD
AVERAGED TWO PER CENT
AND COST PER POUND LESS
THAN SEVEN CENTS.

The report of the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper company for the quar-
ter ended Dec. 81, 1910, shows diyi-
dends of s749,347, net credit to
profit and loss of s160,150, and
depreciation allowed on the Steptoe
smeltery of $4,000. thus account
ing for the total profit of $1,046,5 27
earned during the quarter. Produc-
ton of copper was as follows: Oct,
4.9S0,306 ID; Nov, 5,207,353 h.,
and Dec, 5,510,936 ID; total, 49,
$685. ID. This gives an average
of 5.232,S65 Id per month, or about
Is per cent. under the 6,033,419 lb.
per month of the third quarter of
1910.
The ore treated during the quarter
averaged 2 per cent, and the cost,
after allowing for depreciation on
the Steptoe smeltery was only SIC
