FLORENCE GOLDFIELD
NOT TO BE LEASED

The annual meeting Of the Florence
GoIdfeld Mining company, which was
begun yesterday at its Office in this
camp, adjourned sine die this morning,
says the Goldfeld Tribune. Because
OF the lack OF quorum, no business
was transacted. Under the constitution
and bylaws of the company, the pres
ent officials will serve until their sue
cessors are elected, which viii prob
ably not occur until the next annual
meeting a year hence.
President A, D. Parker, who arrived
in GoldAeld Sunday from Denver, yes
terday made thorough inspection of
the workings Of the mine in company
with !. K, Turner, a resident director,
and Superintendent II. B. Clapp. Com.

Parker said:

DEEP CREEK LOOKS
FOR GOOD SEASON

4 we'll known mining man who re-
turned recently from the Fish Springs
section OF western Utah speaks very fa-
vorably OF the conditions he found there.
The Utah mine, tho t'big little mine
Of the state. is shipping orc regularly.
The values arc running practically the
same as those which have made the Utah
mine famous.
j. Colthurst is taking out high-srade
ore on his group of claims to the south
Of the Utah and should be on the market
soon with carload that will net good
round sum.
The Miners Dream claim, adjoining
the Utah OH the east, IS being worked
under bond and lease by the Silver Chief
company. Some good work Is being done
on this ground now and results are
looked for at any time. On account of
its favorable location and the fact that
the geological conditions are the Sd me
as exist in the Utah ground. the outcome
at the Miners Dream will be awaited
with interest.
In the neighborhood OF Clifton and Gold
Hill in the Deep creek country consider
able activity is expected the coming sea-
pany's strike near Willow Springs has
attracted new attention TO that section.
From reliable sources ii is learned that
w. Carson has encountered some nigh
grade gold ore in his claims in Dry Cam
yon II is declared he has also proven a
large ledge of low grade ore.
1t Is believed that with the auto truck
service into Gold tIlll in operation con-
siderable ore will be shipped from that
section during the coming spring and
summer. The Young Little, Watson &
Chandler, Gardner & Rodenhouse and
Carmen & Gerster ground in and near
Clifton; the Erckson-Anderson ground.
near Overland canyon; the Morduft- Hicks
at Dutch mountain and the Hudson,
Woodman and Simons Copper Queen at
Gold Fill should be among the shippers
a
now assured them materialiZe.
Attention IS also being called 10 the
Ferbcr district, where the Reed & Uaight
properties have developed good bodies Of
ore running from 10 TO 16 per cent cop
per and small values in gold and silver.
With the lower haul TO the railroad now
promised much OF this ore can be shipped
TO advantage.
All indicate are that for these more
or less Isolated sections OF western Utah
the year 1919 viii be successful one.

HEAVY TOLL EXACTED
BY MINING PROGRESS

The fact that the community pays for
the failures or any enterprise is shown
by the remark so often made that 1t
worth, and that the losses of the fail
ures are not paid for by tho profits OF
the successes. says Netallurgieal and
Chemical Engineering We believe that
this Is not strictly true, but that there
Is an element Of truth In it. and that It
Is widely true that the high profits de-
mineral wealth include Insurance against
failure. Mining engineers who Law the
proper stress on the commercial side of
mining insist that mining stocks should
return from 10 TO 20 per cent on the
market value to allow for the exhaustion
Of mineral and to recompense the In
vcstor for previous losses. This Is only
right.
1t is plain that the same conditions
hold in the case OF q reduction works

MERGER MINES DEAL
WILL GO THROUGH

Tho details of the negotiations he,
tween the Jumbo Extension Mining
company and the GoldGeld Merger
Mines company looking to the acquisi-
tion by the former Of the Velvet claim
will be definitely arranged and ready
for submission to the stockholders of
tho respective corporations within the
next week or ten days, according to Q.
O. Whittemore of Los Angeles, presi-
dent Of the Merger company, says the
Goldfeld Tribune.
Mr.. Whittemore arrived in Gold6eld
Sunday for the purpose of discussing
with his local associates and Vice Pres
ldent Charles S. Sprague of the Jumbo
Extension company the pending nego-
tiations. Conferences were held all day
Monday and at their conclusion Mr..
Whittemore, who departed for Los An
geles last night, stated that as more
time would be required to go fully into
certain Of the details Of the deal, q
further meeting of Mr.. Sprague and
himself would be held within the next
week or ten days, upon his return to
Gold6eld. Mr.. Whittemore declined to
divulge the details OF the present ne.
gotiations, but declared with emphasis
that the stockholders Of the Goldfeld
Merger Mines company may rest as
sured that the deal, if consummated, of
which there is every probability, will
rebound TO their benefit.
Referring to the operations of the
Merger company and its plans for the
future, President Whittcmore said
Notwithstanding the delays that
have arisen, due primarily 10 wa
ter and resultant additional costs,
conditions at the Merger are with
ont single discouragiug element;
therefore. there should exist no
anxiety on the part of the stock
holders as to the future Of the
property,

Education on Insurance Questions.

In his recent Chicago address on "ln-
suranCe Education" Commissioner Done
gave it as his opinion that the matter
OF educating the public had been ap-
preached from the wrong angle So
far as ne knew, there had been no con-
certed attempt TO popuarize the subject
II had been treated from the actuarial
and the technical side and he believed
II was now time 10 approach the sub
icct from the popular side. For cN-
ample. he said:
There is the justification for insur-
ance; Its essentially cooperative
character; tho fundamental fact that
practically all insurance is i'm the
last analysis mutual in character.
There Is also the fact that instead
OF the policyholders and the com
nsny being at war, tho policyholder9

psny means the policyholdcrs. Then
