without repairs as the best

WITHOUT repairs DIS CllG DGSC
Of them. When repairs
are needed the cost of putting
a FORD in shape is but a sm9l
fraction of that of overhaUl0q
other cars. This is because Of
the extreme simplicity and acces-
Sibility Of the FORD construction
and reasonable charges for parts.
Do not be deceived into thinking the
FORD Is a cheap car in anything but price.
1t is a small car but a good one, car large
enough for the average mans needs and one
so scientifically designed and constructed as
to give its owner service and satisfaction
equal to that obtained by owners of high
priced cars, and at a cost of operation and
maintenance that is not burden to the ordin-
airy man. Were man of moderate meanr to
be given a 100000 seventy horse power
car he could not afford to run it. 1t need not
give anything but perfect service to have its
cost of operation for two years equal the pur-
chase price and total cost of operation of
FORD for the same length of time.
Were you considering pleasure vehicle
of the horse drawn variety. would you feel
that you must have fifteen hundred dollar
pair and thousand dollar carriage? No
more do you need twenty-five hundred dol
lar automobile to enjoy motoring to its fullest
extent
The FORD Company are making from
two hundred and fifty to three hundred cars
every day but are rapidly going behind their
orders The Public have learned in the last
two years what is the greatest automobile
in the World
Get your order in if you want a FORD

SUDDEN INCREASE TO
VALUE OF OLD DUMP

Werret and Orton who q short time

Intyre mill and who have already shipped
about 1000 tons Of this ore. were forced
10 suspend work early in the present
week when tho officials of the Mammoth
Mining company obtained an injunction
and restraining order, claiming that
fraudulent representations brought about
the sale Of the dump. AS has been stated
in these columns. the dump YVES pur-
chased by Messrs. Werret and Orion upon
basis OF 76 cents por ton and they ac-
cepted a blu OF sale signed by Samuel
McIntyre. sr.. president OF the Mammoth
Mining company.
At the time Of the sale Il was thought
that the dump contained but 5000 or 1000
tons and settlement was made upon that
basis The work which has already been
done indicates that there are fully 5000

CARDIFF NEARS THE

President Ezra Thompson of tho Car
diff company. when asked Saturday In re-
gard TO mine conditions. stated that the

prosecuted for over 600 feet. and the
solid limestone is now presented to the

satisfactory working proposition. while
the contact between the limestone and
quartzite should be caught now at any
time. II is the plan to follow this con-
tact to a point below where the resources

POSITION Of BUTTE

Nevada Con. Demonstrated in
Large Measure Value of
This Territory.

In regard to the determination OF the
Giroux Consolidated company to operate
tho Butte and Ely mine OF which il owns
the control. the Ely Expositor has the
following TO say:
Some months ago the Nevada Consoli-
dated obtained permission from the Butte
and Ely company to remove the over
burden from a section Of the Westphalia
claim Of the Butte and Ely group. This
was because the Westphala claim ex-
tends into the Liberty on the west side
and the Liberty pit could not be deep
ened as much as was necessary for the
extraction OF the ore nor even for the
removal OF all the overburden from the
Liberty.
done In the Liberty pit and also by
drilling on the Butte and Ely ground
that the Liberty ore body extends into
the Westphala and other claims be-
longing TO the Butte and Ely and 1t
would be logical for a contract to be
the view of extending the Liberty pit
across the imaginary line dividing their
respective holdings.
When the Butte and Ely company
passed TO the control OF the GirouN
the shareholders were led TO believe
development of the ground with the idea
OF beginning production at an early date.
Except for drilling numerous holes In
Butte and Ely ground the Giroux has not
taken any steps towards placing the
property on producing basis. The prop

DEAD WORK ALL DONE

Salt Lake shareholders are receiving
copies of the annual report OF the Ne
vada Hills Mining company, pcrusa OF
which indicates without question that
the organization is now In condition
for results OF merit after ending period
OF construction and mine development.
President WinSfleld states in his report
that the year just closed marked the
completion OF the entire programme of
construction. and closed with the equip
ment modern In every respect. His re-
port follows in part.
The new mill started operations on
September 10, 1911, and continued In
operation until about the middle OF jan
uary, 1912, at which time the plant Of
the power company. which had been
furnishing power, closed down on ac-
count OF the lack OF water, and the mill
could not resume operations until
April 10.

EXPRESSING FEAR OF
IRON BLOSSOM CAVE
Some Believe Damage Will
Be Found More Extensive
Than Anticipated.

Despite the assurances held out by the
lrcn Blossom management that the cave
in OF several days ago Is nothing very
serious. and that two weeks will bring
about complete restoration to normal,
there is a disposition on the part o! many
Salt G.aIters closely In touch with the
company to believe that the injury to
the mine will be found more destructive
than IS now appreciated. There is no
disposition 10 place any blame upon the
management for the hard luck, because
III property Of the youth OF the Iron
! Blossom there Is no reason whatever to
expect such misfortune, and conditions
that could not bc foresecn and guarded
against certainly existed. 1t is agreed
that Tho Iron Blossom has been one or
| lhc best managed propositions Of the
IiEtiC camp.
The cave began IN the vicinity Of the
big stopc on the 500-foot level extend =
ing in = nor,hcrly and southery direc-
tou at right angles TO the tunnel on the
20p-foot level. tile affected znns OF the
tunrcl being about sixty feet In width
as lar as now known. The management
will attempt 10 drift round this section
so as 10 bring the two uuijured portions
| OF the tunnel together again, but some
| fear that the ground has been too Sc
| Nerely altered 10 admit OF such work.
| II Is hoped, however, upon complete In
FN"Stgaton that the management will be
found correct in lis proposed plan OF re-
| pair, but there are many who remember
that In the case OF the Ontario tunnel
cave the damage was to be repaired in
| two weeks but II took two years.

TO this level and thence tramned to the

utilization OF the shaft as complete

ore may be reduced to that extent until

Reason of High Cost.

During these four months Of actual
production the lower grades Of ore were
used in the mill. owing to the fact that
the necessary connections had not been
made which would allow the economical
handling OF the higher grade ores on the
lower levels. II might also be added that
this ore, which was used, was the worst
class to effect large savings. and hence
the loss In extraction was much greater
than II viii be In the future large
amount OF development work was done
for the purpose OF connecting many Of
the old workings with the new shaft, so
that the ores could be economically car
ried to the mill, The result of this has
been that the cost per ton has been abb
normally high. and great lmproveme mt
in this respect will be shown In the fu-
ture. To give our stockholders some
idea OF the results during the actual
period Of operation OF the mill. special
table has been Incorporated in the report
OF the general manager covering the
period from September 1911. to the date
OF this report, Even these costs are
high. owing 10 the fact that charges
were made against II for nearly two
months while the mill was shut down.
and. furthermore. on account of the
charges for the costly development work,
which was necessary.
