GREAT STRIKE MADE
ON INLAY MINES

Secretary r. II. Siddoway, F. NJ
Smith and Alex Parsons of the INLAY
Mining company have returned from
the property at INLAY, Humboldt
county, Nevada, with particulars of
a new strike of $50 to 800 ore, says
the Salt Lake Herald Republican.
Messrs. Smith and Parsons are
stockholders from Rockland, Ill.,, and
are like Mr.. Siddoway, highly pleas
ed with the showing. The find is a
three and one-half foot vein carving
122 ounces in silver, $13 in gold per
cent lead and some copper values.
There is also some antimony present.
The vein occurs along the contact of
the porphyry and limestone and is be-
low the ores which were developed in
the incline in the original workings.
This find is on the first level and is
being prospected and opened up.
In the incline above there is four
feet of milling ore which is slightly
better grade than that which has been
mined already and is about to be put
through the MILL The ore that has
been mined viii be sent through the
min next week, as the company has
decided to make a run for at east
twenty-five days on the milling pro
duet on hand. The mill has capaci-
ty of about fifty tons daily. 1t has
been out of commission fer some time.
The management will proceed with
the development on the second level.
1t is 112 feet below the first level,
which is l40 feet from the surface. On
the second level a crosscut will be run
TO the vein and then drifting will be
lone on the contact to Gnwater the ore
shoots above. The officials feel cor
fdent that the work will result in
some disclosures of Importance for
the mine and will rapidly shape things
up for more economical work in the
future.

IMMENSE PRODUCTION OF
GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED

Superintendent J. f. Thorn, of the
Consolidated Mines company, has Civ
en- ont the following figures setting
forth the preliminary estimates of
production and earnings for the month
of May: Gross tons, 30,209; gross
value recovered, 100000; operating
expenses, 100000; net realization,
100000.
Last week the Consolidated direct
ors dropped the "extra" dividend of
20 cents and declared the regular
dividend of 80 cents only. This step
has been expected for some 'ime, and
the only wonder is that it had not
been taken before, as in the nature of
things no mine could keep up the drain
of over $7,000,000 dividends per year
indefinitely The Consolidated has out
standing 9,559.l4s shares, the balance
of the 100000 shares having been
cancelled. On this outstanding amount
two 10-eent dividends, three 30-cent
dividends and ten 50-cent dividends
were paid making the enormous
amount of $2l, ,703, $500 since Oc-
tober 20, 1907. The sixteenth divid-
end of 80 cents per share was declared
June |, making grand total of $22,-
SIS ,00020, which, for the period COW
cred, easily places the Consolidated at
the head of the list of dividend peyers
the world over. The company will be
able to continue its dividend of 30
cents per share per quarter for many
years to come, and from the present
showing of the mine and recent de-
velopment, it would not be surprising
to see the stock move up.-Goldfeld
