Bonanza Group Dividend
 Not so Big as it Seemed.

Initial distribution of l,000,OO0 by the mines at Kennecott, Alaska, known as the "Bonanza' group, and owned by the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate. seems large on the mines capitaliza- ,ion of 2,5Oo,O)os, bat is small when the amount spent on the mines and the Copper River Railroad by the syndi- cate, upwards of 22,000,000 is taken into consideration. It is less than f l. per cent, or smaller than a years in- terest at , per cent on the entire h. vestment.
 The Copper River Railroad is pay ing it's own operating expenses, but it will be long time before the road can meet it's interest charges, which would total 1000, 00S per annum at per cent on 2O,000000 invested
 The Bonanza mines have, roughly speaking, about 100000 tons of copper ore averaging more than 65 per cent copper, of which approximately l6,OOO tOlS Ildlc Dtcu CNlIdCttu. who went over the mines estimated that they contained ore which would yield profits of about 6,000,000S, or a net of 3,000,O00$, when the time clap sed necessary to extract the ore and the interest during that time on the money invested is taken into consider. ation. The properties cost the syndi- cate 5000, O,OO0S. It was never thought that the profits on the Bonanza mines would give d profit on the mines and the railroad investment combined. Return on the railroad Inv sstment of upwards of 20,0O0, ,000S was expected to come from the opening of the Alaska territory and the development of coal lands and mineral bearing properties, in which the country is very rich, by outside capital
 Conditions have materially changed since the Morgan Gag senheim synd. cate went into Alaska six years ago. The coal lands are still dormant, nor is any immediate relief in sight. British Columbia coal cost on the aver- age about l2S a ton, and prices at times haven risen as high as l55 to POS a ton, price prohibitive for mining purposes. Hence the development of the country's mineral resources has proceeded at a snail's space. The Cop. per River Rlilroad has been able to operate by installing oil burners on its engines and bringing oil from Cali fornia. The country's great develop ment will come when its immense coal reserves are released Denver Mining Record.

Excessive Heat in
 Comstock Mine.

Two shists of miners employed at the Ward shaft, Virginia City, have quit work and ask for a daily wage of 4.50$, and it is thought that this de- mand will be stren ythene1 by a = mand for six-h hour shift, says the Vii glnia City Chronicle. The strike was caused by the excessive heat on the 24- OO-foot level of the Julia working :, which have recently been reopened af- ter lying idle for over twenty years. Men have been forced to work with streams of cold water playing upon them and with an abundance of ice at hand, but even with these methods for allevation of the awful conditions they have been able to work but few min utes at a time. Lately conditions have become worse and now it is almost i'm possible for the miners to go through the drift to the workings.

Important Finds In
 Tonopah Mines.

One of the most important strikes made during the past year in that which occurred in the Mizpah Exten- sion last week. It is known that the ledge, which was struck in a winze, started from the lOOO.foot level is twelve feet in width and carries some exceptionally high values, and the en- tire body thus far encountered is of a grade that will yield nice profit for the stockholders. Those who have been fortunate enough to see the ore declare that some of it will run up in to the hundreds, while all of the sam ples show good qualities of ruby sil. yer.
 It is understood that the values so far encountered run from los a ton up into figures which place it at once among the high-grade properties.
 This strike means the addition of several years to the life of the camp and proves the contention of the Mon- tana officials that the ledge would be struck in the Mizpah Extension at about the depth where it was found
 The officials of the company. while admitting that the strike had been made, said that they did not desire to make any of the detalls known at this early date, but wanted to see what a few days more work would disclose. - Tonopah Bonanza.
 At the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Tonopah Mining Com. pany of Nevada held on Thursday. the l4th inst, regular quarterly divi- dend of 20 per cent and extra dividend of b per cent was declared, payable April 20, 1912, to stockholders of rec. ord noon, March 30, 1915. Transfer books close March 30, 1912, noon: open April s, 1912, 10 A. M. This dividend calls for the usual quarterly disburse- ment of 400000$ among the stock. holders of the big company, and is the second dividend paid this year by this company. The Tonopah Mining Com. pany of Nevada has now paid in divi- dends up to date the enormous sum of S,S50,00O$, and has over LOGO, ,OOOS

cash reserve in it's treasury, which is being added to monthly from the ex- cellent earnings of the mine.
 It is probably quite correct to state that the ore shoot on the 350.foot in- termediate level of the Montana-Tono. pah mine is the biggest yet opened in the camp. It is now little over 200 feet long, has an average width of l5 feet and the entire body will average Tn excess of l00$ ton. Nor is this it's extreme length, for on both the eastern and western end it is strong in the face, carrying the same splendid values. That it extends upward is proved by the fact that the top of an old raise on the western end shows high grade ore above the present working level. Indeed it is practical ly assured that it will extend upward for at least l25 feet on it's dip, while it's downward extension has yet to be determined. Already, however, a very large tonnage of this high-grade ore is assured. In the past week a crosscut has been run south into the footwall, determining the width of the ore shoot, and this crosscut is still cut ting stringers of good ore and there are strong indications that a parallel ore body will be encountered.
 
 In addition to this the new vein on the 6l5-foot level has wldened out, as drifting east on it is progressing, and it is now over three feet wide, of an average value of l05$ ton.
 The Tonopah Extension mine con- tlnues to improve with development, although no unusual discoveries have been made recently. In the western workings the ore shoot in the south vein, on the 500.foot level, has now been proved by three raises, fifty feet apart, to be l50 feet in length and its full extent not yet deternined. On its eastern course it encountered fault, and has not yet been picked up on the other side. On its western course it is still strong, and another raise is now being put up fifty feet west to open it up. For it's entire length of l50 feet it averages twenty feet in width of "good milling grade, in ex- cess of the average grade treated in the mill.
 On the 600.foot level, what may be the downward extension of this shoot has just been encountered, and is now from five to six feet wide, averaging from AS to l6S ton, but enough work has not yet been done here to prove it's full eXtent.-Tonopah Miner.
