OLD GOLD-S|LVER
MINE COMES BACK
Commonwealth Mine of the
State of Arizona Being
Resurrected.
BIG MILL IS PLANNED
Montana-T -Tonopah Is the
Owner of This Coming
Large Producer.

The wisdom Of the Montana -Tonopah- 4
monwealth property in Arizona is plainly
evident In the light Of the account Of this
mine given TO The Tribune Saturday BY
Llew Humphries. the we'll known mining
engineer who has been at the property
for several months directing the devel-
opment operations. In four months =

actually put into shape for future ex-
traction is valued at over $1,000, 900. and

area OF naturalization sounded.

opments lately mas been the discovery
that about 500 900 tons OF ancient tali!ngs
can be shipped to the smeltcrs at good
profit, The property is right on the rail-
road
Accompanied by President Charles
Knox, Mr.. HumphTies gave the property
a thorough investigation not long ago.
and he IS now engaged on the prepare
tion OF an exhaustive report. Mr.. Knox
expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied
with the work and its results. There are
thousands of feet along the vein not yet
touched TO depth so the Commonwealth
promises TO become a decidedly valuable
asset OF the Montana Tonopah company.
When asked in regard TO the Tonopah
property Of this company. from when
recent reports have been very favorable,
Mr.. Humphries stated that recent dis

CHIEF CON. DURING
MARCH WAS VERY BUSY

General Manager Walter Fitch of the
Chief Consolidated company is being
quoted as saying that the March results
equal February, when something like
$4,000 was netted. The March ship
ments this month may be somewhat re-
duced. but the quality. OF the ore should
counterbalance any reduction in tonnage,
maintaining the earnings at about the
February and March rate.

RAY EARNINGS ARE
BEING ACCUMULATED
President Aldrich Says the
Company Is Getting on
Satisfactorily.

Some timely details OF the RAY Con-
solidated operations are given In the
east by Sherwood Aldrich, president of

spection visit to the mine and mill. He
reports developments there as most sat

and earnings Of approximately Sl5tOCO
Mining costs for the month were SIS cents
per ton. or 10 cents per ton in excess
Of last years average cost The excess
cost resulted from n very considerable
portion of the production coming from
development work Milling costs for the
month. however. were reduced TO AZ cents
per ton.
But three sections OF the mill were IN
operation during most of March. al
though fourth section was run during
the latter part to handle the increased
tonnage, The mill has been handling
from 100 to l1o0 tons per section, and
making an extraction of about II per
cent on ore averaging less than LIS per

Is expected an extraction Of 70 per cent
will be obtained on n steadily Increasing

peeted to to 6e reduced to between bet -, a., 40
costs to about 10 cents ton. When

GRAND CENTRAL GOES
AFTER ORE AT DEPTH

The Grand Central company Is drifting
on the 2300-foot level, the deepest OF the
mine, for the big ore body discovered
on the 2200-foot and other higher levels.
and those knowing the extent OF the re-
source on the level above do not hesi-
tate to predict its development below as
indicated by the plan of company opera
tions. The officials. and General Man
ager c. E. Loose In particular, look for
the values to be more concentrated on
the 2300 than they were above. which
should AFFORD better shipping product
for the company. Shipments have been
resumed after q weeks close-down to

SIOUX MINE CLOSED
TIGHT AS BEESWAX

The officials Of the Sioux Consolidated
at Tintic have cleaned up the mine OF all
the marketable ore left IN the shoot de-
veloped several years ago, and the mine
has been closed down. Friends Of the
company assert that this Is by no means
the final curtain for the Sioux. There
Is work being done by several neighbors
which will encourage future development
by the company. and II will be able to
proceed TO better. purpose by profiting
by the experience of others.

Plenty Of Utah Fuel.

"And as for the Utah iron not being
near coke or coal OF nu3ing material,
such an assertion is ridiculous. Anyone
knowing the state can point out out that that
est amount of coal TO be found any
where and Utah holds more undeveloped
coel today than the state of Pennsyl-
vana.
"As for the quality Of Utah-made coke
II Is far superior to that coming from
Pennsylvania, as some Of the smelling
interests of Utah can testify. They tried
out eastern coke at the time Of the Utah
coal strike. and It was found far inferior
to the home product. II is generally
considered that the big steel interests
do not care at this time TO boost Utah
iron in view OF their extensive interests
further east and they are not assisting
their own game great deal by making
statements that fall to square with con-
ditions.
''Some Of these days the big steel In
terests will be compelled to realize on
their Utah iron interests, and the time
ls closer than twenty five years. And
when that day comes they will not be
compelled to send to Pennsylvania for
their coal or coke"

LAST WEEKS STORM.
1t was General Throughout the Countr,

1t was General Throughout the Country.
Early Wednesday evening, Feb. 21st, there
was sprinkling of hail which later turned to
heavy down-pour of rain, accompanied by
an easterly gale. 1t rained in torrents all
night and about or 5 o'clock Thursday morn
ing there were peals of thunder and flashes of
lightning. The storm was general throughout
the country, prevailing in the west and as far
south as Texas, where a gale, accompanied
by heavy snowfall, did thousands of dollars
of damage by wrecking buildings and demor-
alizing trees and telegraph poles. San Anto-
MO and Austin, where the damage appears
greatest, report a wind of from 10 to 100 miles
an hour which unroofed many residences,
wrecked chimneys and blew down trees. At
Norfolk, Va, five steamers were swept ashore
in the outer harbor by the worst storm that
has swept the Virginia coast in many years, %
vessels were driven ashore, the Old Dominion
liner Madison sank and three barges were car
ried out to sea. In New York city and vicinity
a southwest gale attained a maximum velocity
of 96 miles an hour, breaking all weather bu-
reau records there, the highest previous wind
velocity having been So miles in April, 190s
In eastern Maine a southeast gale was ac-
companied at first by snow and later by floods
of rain, with frequent heavy thunder and
sharp lightning. Streets were flooded, trees
uprooted, chimneys blown down, railroad traf-
fc delayed and all electrical lines deranged.
The local and suburban street cars were tied
up for several hours. In Bangor there was no
damage by lightning, but severe electrical
storm ragged in the western part of Penobscot
county, and the residence and barns of L. O.
Demerritt at Silver's Mills, Dexter, were set
on fire by bolt and burned, with much of
their contents, including 10 head of cattle.
The storm extended into Aroostook county
and all through the logging regions, taking off
much of the snow just when it was needed by
the log haulers. In Bangor the storm was al
most unprecedented in character for this sea-
son of the year, and in fury equalled an equi-
noctial gale. The thermometer rose to 46 and
the barometer fell to 2S.4O
In Portland a terrific downpour of rain
Thursday morning, when 152 inches fell, was
followed, by high gale with a maxi
mum velocity of 46 miles an hour Several
chimneys were blown down and there was some
wire trouble, but no further damage.
In Palermo the Union church was struck and
badly damaged by lightning early Thursday
morning. There was small insurance Other
reports from the county will be found in our.
local correspondence. We hear of no serious
damage in this city.
1t cleared Thursday forenoon, and bright sun
shine and moderate temperature prevailed
until afternoon, when the mercury took
tumble and a cold night with high northwest
wind followed.
