Story of n Chinese BOY.

Rev. p. w. Hamlet tells the fol-
lowing story:
81 was returning from street
chapel in Soochow, where series of
evangelistic meetings were being
conducted by foreign and Chinese
workers. A boy about Is years of
age came up behind me and said in
a very serious and envious tone:
''Mr. Who (Which is my Chinese
name). can l join the church?
have to work on Sunday morning.
Can ! be a Christian and come to
church Sunday afternoon?'
His voice and whole attitude
showed that he was in distress. AS

ating various blocks of ground on
the properties. Their production in
October totalled 1,2O9 dry tons of
ore of the gross value of $20,262.-

received as royalty the sum of $1O,-
SS2.03, less costs of milling and
transportation.
Merger and Atlanta.
AS preliminary work is rapidly
nearing completion, it is safe to pre-
dict that the Atlanta Mines company
will within the next week resume the
exploration of the big vein revealed
last spring in the Union Jack claim
by way of the long southwest cross
cut on the 1,750-foot level from the
main or st. Ives Shaft of the Gold
field Merger Mines company. The
operations there will be watched
with keen interest by mining men
and investors alike. especially in
view of the pleasing developments
that have occurred of late at depth
in neighbOring properties.

MANHATTAN OPERATORS SOON TO
Install IMMENSE TUBE MILL

The machinery for the new Mush-
Wittenberg mill on the Big Pine
property in the Manhattan district is
now being hauled there from Tono
pah. The heaviest piece of the
equipment, the tube mill shell,
weighs fourteen tons and, when as
sembled, will be the largest tube
mill in southern Nevada. 1t is at
present being moved across the flat
east of Tonopah on huge dray
drawn by eighteen horses in easy
stages. When the grade leading into
Manhattan is reached the number of
horses will be increased to twenty
eight. 1t is expected that the equip
ment will all be delivered on the
ground within the next week.
At the property practically all
preparations have been made for the
receipt of the tube mill The con-

The october net earnings OF the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany exceeded those of the two pre-
ceding months of September and
August by notable amounts. This
fact is shown by the final report OF
Acting Assistant General Manager
X. M. Simpson for last month,
which has just been made public by
A. H. Howe, secretary and treasur-
er. In point of tonnage, October was
the best month in the last four.
The October report shows that the
company mill treated 28,651 tons OF
ore. from which was obtained net
profits of $14S,373.33. as against
27.s71 tons and net profits of $780,

KEWANAS WINE
NOW UNDER WAY
WILL BE SENT DOWN TO FAM.
Gus LATITE-SHALE
CONTACT

With two shifts of miners, the
Reoganized Kewanas Mining COM
pany has begun the work of sinking
a deep vertical winze in the Kewanas
No. 2 claim of the property from a
point near the face of the 7O0-foot
east crosscut on the 700-foot level
of the Laguna shaft of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company. The
installation of a 20-horsepower elec-
trio hoist at the top of the winze was
completed a few days ago and sink
ing operations are now being prose-
cuted with all possible vigor.
1t is the intention of the man.
agement to sink the winze to the
contact of the latte and shale, with
which all important ore bodies ex-
posed at depth in the Goldfield dis
trict are associated. 1t is expected
that the contact will be reached with
in a depth of $50 feet below the
level of the crosscut. or a vertical
depth of $50 feet from the sur
face. The winze Is being sent
down at a point $50 feet east of
the eastern boundary line of the
Last Chance claim of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company. In
view of the sensational develop
ments along the latite-shale contact
in the Velvet claim of the Jumbo
Extension Mining company, which
adjoins on the southwest, unusual
public interest centers in the opera
tions of the Kewanas company and
the results obtained in the sinking
of the deep winze will be anxiously
awaited.

SEVENTEEN FEET OF SHIPPING
ORE EXPOSED in VELVET RAISE

The strike in new raise 503-C
above the east crosscut OF the main
southeast crosscut on the 1017-foot
level of the Velvet claim of the Jum-
wonder. Each days work since the
downward extension of the now IA
nous ore body was first revealed by
the raise on Friday night of last
week has disclosed a greater area of
enrichment and increased the poten-
tialities of the discovery; it is i'm
possible as yet to even guess it's real
significance.
With the hanging wall of the vein
unrevealed, there is now exposed in
the top of the raise seventeen feet
of ore, which, taken as a whole, is of
a high-class shipping grade. Imme-
diately above the eight feet of quartz
carrying average values of $22 per
ton, lying on the shale footwall,
there is nine feet of ore that assays
$541 per ton, according to Consult
ing Engineer j. X. Turner. Above
this nine feet of high grade ore is
rock carrying values of around 81
per ton, as shown by assays on muck
from drill holes which will not be
shot for the present. Thus far the
drill holes have given no indication
as to when the hanging wall of the
vein will be disclosed. b
Operations to determine the width
of the vein at the new point of dis
covery have been suspended in the
new raise, which is practically verti-
cal, in order that a connection Tor

The oft-repeated prediction Of the
boosters of Goldfield that the dis
trict would .come back" is about to,
be fulfilled; there is no mistaking
"the signs of the times Goldfield
is not only unquestionably entering
a new era of prosperity and renewed
mining activity but there is every
reason to believe that its greatest
fame lies in the future. While such
a prophecy may seem somewhat ex-
travagant, it would not be surprising
in the least were the wild scenes of
six to eight years ago presented
anew in the near future.
At no period in the history of the
district, not even in the days when
sensational strikes were common oc-
currences, has it's future appeared
more promising than at present.
This assertion is warranted by The
many recent developments in num-
erous properties. That the brokers
and investors of the United States
are convinced that GOldfield still
possesses golden opportunities is re-
Elected by the phenomenal increase
in the transactions in local mining
shares on the principal stock ex-
changes of the country of late. Dur
ing the last few days particularly,
traders on the San Francisco and
New York markets have indulged in
wild scrambles to acquire Goldfield
issues. In mining. as in all other
lines of business. prices are influ-
enced wholly by demand and in conse-
quence the desire of investors to ac-
quire local holdings has caused prac-
tically every Goldfield stock to ad-
vance. In short, "the boom is on"

AN EXCELLENT PROSPECT FOR
NINE MAKING IN THE SOUTH
ERN DISTRICT

Interest is again being directed
toward the Cuprite mining district,
fourteen miles south of Goldfield
and on the line of the Bullfrog-
Goldfield railroad, where there is an
encouraging surface showing and
where there was a considerable
amount of activity in the early days
of Goldfield. Wisconsin capital has
entered the field and development is
now in progress on a scale that may
be expected to produce good results

which is probable at depth of not
much over ESQ feet and at which
point it is believed greater con-
centration of enrichment will be
found.
AT the 164-foot level many assays
have been obtained, yielding encour-
aging quantities of gold and silver,
and seams OF shipping grade ore
have been exposed, but not in suf-
ficient volume to render production
profitable. Mr.. Evans is now negO-
tiating for the purchase of hosting
engine and other necessary equip
ment and visa this installed he will
continue sinking to sufficient
depth to determine the value of the
property. Mr.. Evans and his asso-
ciates have done considerable
quantity of prospecting work during
the past three years and have the
greatest confidence in their ultimate
success.

ing sunk mt good rate of speed,
the work being in charge of w. H.
Boyer, who has operated in the Gu
prite district for several years and is
thoroughly familiar with the geology
of the country. The vein here is
highly mineralized and has yielded
many assays at the surface ranging
up to 500 per ton. Geological coE
ditions in this part of the district arc
regarded by competent authorities as
most promising and such as to fully
justify the exploration of the ground
at depth.

PIONEER CON. IS
IN GOOD SHAPE
MAKING BULLION SHIPMENTS
AT RATE OF FOUR
A MONTH

Substantial profits are now being
made by the Pioneer Consolidated
Mines company and shipments of
bullion are sent to the branch mint
at Denver at the rate of four each
month. The ten-stamp mill is prov
ing effective in treating the ore
from the mine and for months past,
even while treating the smallest ton
mage. 1t has paid all expenses of op-
Grafton. President William j. Tobin
who is personally in charge of the
property, has succeeded in reducing
costs until they are as low as those
of any gold mining company in the
state.
Results of development in the
Pioneer mine have been highly graft
flying of late and ore for the mill Is
being broken from faces of great
width. The past month has shown
decided improvement in the cOndi-
ton underground, important addi-
tions having been made to visible
ore reserves. BY amalgamation and
cyanidation the mill is saving from
sixty to sixty-five per cent of the me-
tallic content of the ore and the
shines are being impounded and
will be treated later when equipment
is installed for that purpose.

GOldfield Consolidated
The various mines of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company made a
splendid showing in October. This
assertion is borne out by the final re-
port of Acting Assistant General
Manager X. M. Simpson of the pro-
ductiOn and net earnings of the
company for that month, which has
just been made public by A H. Howe.
secretary and treasurer. Figures
contained in the report show that
the October net earnings were the
largest in the last months and the
production the heaviest in the last
four.
In October. the company mill ham
died 2S,651 tons of ore, which re-
turned net profits of $149,373.S3,
while in September the output
amounted to 27,871 tons and the
net realization $12O,599.G7, an in
crease in tonnage of 78O tons and in
net profits $2S,773.66. A reduction
in the cost of development work is
shown by the report. A total of q
S74 linear feet of work was accom-
plished in October at cost of 5000
per foot, as against 2,318 feet in the
preceding month at $6.49 per foot.
In the point of new developments,
the Combination mine is entitled to
special mention, since it is reason
able to assume that it largely con-
tributed to the increased profits of
the company. One hundred feet
northeast of the shaft on the 23O-

NEVADA HILLS MINING COMPANY
ISSUES REPORT FOR OCTOBER

The report of the Nevada Hills
Mining company, operating in the
Fairview district, of production and
profits in October, which has just
been issued by the Reno office,
shows notable increases in both over
those of September. In October the
company mill treated 6,213 tons of
the gross value of $44.336.72. which
yielded net profits of $6,589.77,
compared to 5.317 tons of the gross
value of $3S.078.63 and a net reali-
zation of $4,597.2S in September, an
increase in output of 500 tons and in
net profits $1.992.49

largely attributable the well-fOunded
optimism of not only the people of
Goldfield but the investors of the
country at large as to the future of
this district. The disclosures of high
grade ore in the claim of late have
been little short of phenomenal and
there is every reason to believe that
it will prove one of the greatest
mines in southern Nevada.
Less than 10 days ago the down
ward extension of the rich ore body
which has for several months been
yielding truly wonderful prOduc-
tion on the levels Immediately above
was proved by new raise 503-C above
the east crosscut off the main south
east crosscut on the 1,O17-foot level,
put up at a point 1872 feet east Of
the eastern boundary line of Pole
verda claim. At vertical height of
forty-two feet, the raise passed out
of the shale footwall into body of
quartz which proved eight feet in
width and gave average assays of
$22 per ton. Immediately above the
quartz the raise has exposed nine
feet of ore which yields values OF
$541 per ton for it's entire width.
The first seven feet of this high
grade streak, according to Consult
ing Engineer j. X. Turner, averaged
$566.1O per ton in the following pro-
portions: Gold, 27.4 ounces silver.
13 ounces; copper, SIS per cent
Above the entire nine feet of high
