NEVADA DIVORCE SUSTAIN
ED BY CALIFORNIA JUDGE

Nevada divorces have been sus-
tanned in a San Francisco court
wherein Judge Van Nostrand refused
to annul the divorce of DR.. Pedar
Bruguiere from Maryon Andrews Bru-
guiere. The divorce was granted in
Reno and the wife treated it as
valid, afterwards getting married
again. The husband married again
and all went well for a time. Years
passed and all went well until the
divorced wife thought it would be
nice to have a revenue coming in
from her former husband, so started
suit in California to have the divorce
annulled upon the ground that the
Nevada divorce was illegal as the
husband had not made a bonafide
residence in that satte when he ap-
piled for the divorce. The Califor-
mia court held the residence was all
right and the muchly married lady
will have to try some other way OF
getting the golden ducats from the
muchly married husband.

EXCELLENT SHOWING IS MADE IN
LAST QUARTER BY THE BELMONT
IS OPINION IN NEW YORK CITY

That the Belmont company is fac
ing a long future, is the opinion of
the New York Mining Age which
has devoted considerable space to
this mine In summing up the re-
suits of the operations during the
past year the Age has the following:
Pending the issuance of the off
cial report of the Tonopah Develop
ment Co, for the fiscal year, which
ended February 2s, the reports for
the four quarters give fairly com
plete idea of the companys opera
tions. During the past year the to-
tai net earnings were S1,S03, 937,
which is S303,937 in excess Of divi.
dend requirements amounting to 81
per share of stock
In the third quarter Of the year
surplus Of $157,955 was earned
over and above the dividend require
ments at this rate The available
resources at the end of the yeal
are given at $1,13S,S71, or the amoun
Of practically three quarterly divi
dends is thus represented in quicl
assets. In the last quarter of thu
year the company states that it haC
numerous difficulties to contend Will
among which have been shortage o
power for several days. the shor
month of February and the difficult
in securing competent workln
crew In spite of this the last quar-
er was the second best Of the yea
and $1Ss,717 was earned over an
above the dividend.
1t seems perfectly plain from tn
above that the Belmont is on yer
sound basis in so far as its preser
rate of distribution is concerned, an

go into the question Of ore reserves
of the Belmont property for the rea-
son that the last statement, which
was made year ago, was admittedly
an approximation made by the man
agement in a mine which was not
sufficiently opened to permit of act
ual accurate measurement. The esti-
mate was, however, that in the Bel
mont vein alone there were $4,000
tons of positive ore, 24s,0OO tons of
probable ore, and 100000 tons of pos
sible ore, total of 100000 tons No
Value was assigned to this rock, but
on the assumption that it was of the
same average grade as the preced-
ing year, have always figured that
there was roughly indicated in the
Belmont vein sufficient ore to keep
the company busy for at least five
years, the grade Of this ore being
of a general average consistent witt
what the company has been treating
In other words, | do not think tha
the property was sufficiently devel
oped at the time of the last esti
mate to justify one in endeavorint
to make definite figures as to th'
length of life and earning power o
the property. 1t is beyond belief
furthermore, that the other vein
of the company will not contribut
to the tonnage, such contribution hay
ing in fact been made during tn
past year.
+ Whether or not the Belmont wi
increase its dividend rate | do not a
tempt to foreten, but there undoub
, edly exists the possibility that sue

I company is m sound financial co
! dition and is returning a good RAJ

One of the most important strikes,

to occur in Tonopah in years, has
been made in the West End, which
accounts for the rapid rise in the
stock quotation in the last two days.
Four feet of ore, classed as high
grade and assaying in the neighbor-
hood of $100 to the ton has been
opened up. The discovery was made
at the bottom of the winze, 2SS feet
deep on the incline, as sunk from
the 500 foot level. The point of
discovery lies about 500 feet east of
the shaft.
The winze has been sunk on a
ledge from which $50 assays were
not uncommon. At the bottom the
four feet of high grade is on the
hanging wall side, leaving eight feet
Of low grade ore ON the foot wall
side, the vein at that point being
approximately IL feet across. With
the high grade values coming in the
entire twelve feet of ore can be
milled.
