phyry ores, so that production will
cost, approximately eight cents a
pound, or two cents more than hal
of Nevada Consolidated, for the rea-
son that the latter company is SO
equipped as to get the best returns
for the least expenditure of money.
In time there is no reason why the
Giroux Consolidated Mines company
should not be producing just as
cheaply as its more advanced neigh
Dor.
This, however, is in the future. 1t
is the present that most concerns the
people of this district, and the fact
that the Giroux Consolidated's por-
phyry ore is as good, if not better
than that of the Nevada Consolidated
lifts the people out OF. the depths of
despair to the highest pinnacle or
hope; for now there is no doubt, if
ever there has been any, OF the con-
struction in the very near future, of
the reduction plant on the ground,
and of the running of a railroad in
here from Tooele canyon through the
Deep Greek country. Definite an
nouncement of breaking ground for
either of these enterprises would set
everything here in the whirl of a
boom; for speculation upon the re-
turn of good times would have
eeased-good times would be here.
One or both these announcements
must come in a very short time.

says, is the banner county in the
number Of men employed and the
tonnage produced. He says that
there are immense tonnages of low
grade ore which cannot be mined for
the lack of railroad facilities; but
predicts that it is only a matter of a
short time when there will be two
railroads through the district.
1t is up to the people of White

Where Ears Grow sharp.

A French balloonist has recorded
the clearness with which sounds COM
ing from the surface of the ground
can be heard at a high altitude. Al
the height of 5000 feet the ringing
of horses hoofs on a hard road was
clearly audible. At 1000 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks in a
pond was heard. The barking of
dogs and the Growing of cocks could
be heard at seven or eight thousand
feet. These sounds penetrated
through a white floor of cloud that
hid the earth from sight. says Har-
pers Weekly. In the perfect silence
of the air the Investigator was startl-
ed by what seemed stealthy footsteps
close at hand. 1t was aseertained
that this noise was caused by the
stretching of the ropes and the yield
ing of the silk as the balloon continn-
ed to expand.

GIROUX REPORT AND THE
JOKER"

At last the Joker" in the Giroux
report has been laid bare, and the
news which comes from actual read
ing of the official report is the best
news received in the district for
many a year. 1t cannot be said that
there was any intent upon the part
of the management to delude the
public for the official report speaks
for itself. 1t is a strange coincidence
though that every mining journal
presented the same Interpretation
oil the document and omitted the
most important sentence in it which
is as follows:
The above figures are ror net re-
covery."
The news sem out TO the public
was that the average content of the
porphyry ore was 1876 per zen cop
per. This had a most depressing eff
feet on the people of this district as
well as upon the price of the stock.
1t was deemed here all along that
the average of the porphyry ore
would reach that of the Nevada Con-
solidated, which latter has been pay
ing millions of dollars in dividends
from the ore taken from the steam
shovel pit. The average of the steam
shovel pit ore runs from ITO to :
per cent copper gross.
1t did not look good to the people
of the district in the face of thi'
when announcement was made tina
the average recovery of the por
phyry ore of the Giroux wa
1885 and 60 cents a ton in golf
and silver. For Immediately, it wa
presumed that this was the gros
content of the copper and gold ant
silver in the ore. Now, when the of
fetal report comes to hand il /
shown that the figures allude t
the net recovery. 1t means that tn
copper content of the ore in tn
mine is 1.92 per cent copper and tn
gross per cent of gold and silver /
IS cents per on.
Ii mean that the average of tn
ore in the Giroux Is equal, II not su

WHAT MINING IN NEVADA MEANS

A mining boom is on in Nevada
and the people of Nevada do not
realize it. Perhaps it is that We are
too close to the picture to appreciate
the beauties of the canvas, maybe
that the green fields far away to the
people of the east do not present TO
us the same rich color. We may be
convinced against our Will, but GER
tain it is that the comprehensive re-
port of Edward Ryan, Inspector of
Mines for Nevada, published in this
issue, proves us to be n of the
richest states in all the union in the
production of mineral; not only in
this but in the actual payment of
dividends.
According to the report. two mines
alone, Goldfield Consolidated and
the Tonopah Mining company, paid
in the first eight months of 1910
fully so per cent of the profits dis
tributed by all the dividend paying
gold, silver and lead properties of
the United States. The state is pro-
ducing one-third of all the dividends
now being paid by all the companies
in the United States producing gold,
silver, lead and copper. In 1909 Ne
vada produced over 24,000,O00,
almost as much as the entire crop
of all kinds produced in the great
agricultural state of Iowa.
There is something to thing about
wheat in Iowa and gold, silver,
lead and copper in Nevada. Wheat
we must have and copper and the
precious metals we must have. Not
many ltdls d6o II iOn a Aiti was
content to ride behind the most
wretched looking animal. Now it
is the blooded stock and the automo-
bile for him. The farmer got a move
on himself, or rather there we're
others who did it for him. The pro-
moter got into Iowa and showed the
farmer where he was doing all the
work and the middlemen and the
banks getting all the money. To
be sure the promoter got his part of
the money, but he left the farmer
and his descendants the most indie
pendent of people. Nevada has had
her promoters. but they were for the
most part of the wrong order. They
promoted anything, but often were
misled as to the value of mining
properties. Surely there is a way of
getting before the great public the
wonderful of Nevada.
In the report of Mr.. Ryan strong
tribute is paid to White Pine county
and to Robinson district in particu-
lar. The district, says the report,
has one of the largest copper pro-
ducers in the world, and TO appre-
ciate the workings of the steam
shovel pit of the Nevada CONSOLE
dated one must see the pit. The
company paid in the year 1909
$~3,731,0O0 in dividends. Mr.. Ryan
pays quite a compliment to the
quality of work which is being done
on the Giroux and predicts that at
no far distant day this mine will be
! in the front ranks of the copper pro-
