WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-For the
fifth time since he was elected, Pres
ident Wilson journeyed from the
whitehouse to the capitol to address
congress today. this time on the sub
tect of the trust situation. Most of
the cabinet members accompanied
him. Admission was by tickets which
we're exceedingly hard to obtain. as
but one apiece was allowed congress
men and senators.
The interlocking OF the personnel
q; directorates OF great corporations
with banks. railroads. industrial. COM
mcrcial and public service bodies, Is
the crux of the trust system, in the
opinion of the president. He made
this plain in his special address, in
which he discussed the proposed an
ti-trust legislation. Discussing the
svils resulting from interlocking il
rectorates. the president caustically
attacked "A group of millionaires who
by reason of their enormous holdings
of stock In numerous corporations,
constitutes virtual monopolies and
virtually told congress II should de-
eide whether big owners of stock In
corporations should be compelled to
elect In which one of them they will
exercise the right to vote on the con-
duct Of affairs.
The president declared emphatical-
w for the creation of an Industrial
commission and declared that public
opinion had finally conquered big
business so that the average business
man was convinced that "the ways OF
liberty are also the ways of peace
and also the ways of the business
man"
He emphatically approved making
guilt personal In all suits against the
trusts
Every act of business Is done at
the command or upon the initiative of
some ascertainable person or group OF
persons" he said. "and these should
he held individually responsible and
punishment should fall upon them,
not upon the business organization
OF which they make illegal use.
Legislation has its atmosphere like
everything else. and the atmosphere
OF accommodation and mutual under
standing. which We now beckon. with
&c mucn refreshment, is a matter of
sincere congratulation," the president
continued
This ought to make our task
much less difficult and embarrassing
than It would have been had We con-
tinued an atmosphere of suspicion
and antagonism which so long has
made impossible an approach to such
questions with dispassionate fairness
Constructive legislation, wher
successful is always the embodi.
ment of the convincing experience OF
mature public opinion which finall,
springs out of that experience. Grea,

nanced monopoly. and those who ad

saotions, have, year after year. ant

MERGER Mines COMPANY ISSUES
REPORT FOR THREE YEAR PERIOD

Secretary j. o. Walther is mail
ing to stockholders of the Goldfield
Merger Mines company copies of a
financial statement and a report by
General Manager A. |. Darcy cover
ing the operations of the company
from October in 1911, when inaug-
urated, up to October last. The
report, in part, follows:
In order to develop the property
of the Goldfield Merger Mines COM
pany it was decided to sink large
three shaft and to car
drifts and crOsscuts from this shaft.
In accordance with this plan, equip
ment was installed and work start
ed n October, 1911. The proper
ty was equipped with framing shed,
containing the necessary machinery
for framing mine timbers, and tools
for general carpenter work; store
houses for supplies. blacksmith
shop with the necessary tools for
blacksmithing and pipefitting work;
an engine room for hoist and COM
pressor, transformer house, change
room for the convenience of en-
ployes, and office and residence. A
200 h. D. hoist was installed, to-
gether with an SS-foOt steel head
frame, cables, skips, storage bins,
surface tracks, mine cars, ventilat-
ing fans, an IngersollRand air COM
pressCr, air drills, pipe lines, power
lines and electric motors for driving
all machinery, the property being
thus equipped for the economic
handling of a large tonnage from
deep workings.
The ST. Ives shaft was decided up
on as being the best location for a
working shaft and consequently this
shaft, which was $50 feet in depth,
but of small size, was enlarged, max
ing a shaft of three large cOmpart-
ments. The three-cOmpartment
shaft was then sunk to a depth of
$50 feet, where water was encoun-
tered. Sinking pumps and water
column were then installed and the
sinking of the shaft resumed. In
August. 1912. the shaft had reach
ed a depth of 1925 feet. At this
point station was cut and develop

GOOD HEAOWAy
IS BEING MADE
DRIFT BEING EXTENDED FROM
WINE IN SILVER PICK
ORE

Excellent headway continues to
be made below the 500-foot level OF
the property of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated Mines company in the con-
tinued exploration of the massive
quartz vein first revealed about six
months ago by the shaft at depth
of 396 feet. On the 500-foot level,
east and west crosscuts from the
shaft proved the quartz mass to be
more than sixty feet In width and
drifts advanced north and south
along the hanging and foot walls has
resulted in the exposure of promis-
ing values at various points.
In the south drift along the hang
ing wall of the vein from the east
crosscut, at point about sixty feet
north of the line of the Combination
mine of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company winze was sunk to
depth of Ill feet. A drift north
at the forty-foot point in the winze
was started recently. 1t has been
advanced distance of about twen-
ty-five feet, the face now exposing
low grade quartz. To intercept the
downward extension of the old Phe-
Ian lease vein. it is the intention of
the management to soon start a west
crosscut from the bottom of the
winze. lit is calculated that to
reach the objective point it will be
necessary to extend the proposed
crosscut distance of approximately
400 feet. On the lease territory
named, the vein was developed to a
depth of 1870 feet, where values of
500 ton were obtained from a
streak of twenty-five inches OF
quartz.

Due to it's splendid condition,
largely on account of recent devel-
opments at great depth in it's newly
acquired Velvet territory, the Jum-
bo Extension mine has firmly estab-
lished itself as one of the bright
stars of the armament of the Gold
field district Following close the
recent action of the company in
paying off in lump sum balance
of 100000 due the GOldfield Mer-
ger Mines company for the Velvet

date fixed for the final monthly in
stallment of $4,000 on the pur-
chase price. the declaration last
Thursday by the board of directors
of a dividend of five cents share
has had the effect of holding the
mine in the limelight of the mining
world to more marked degree
than at any time in it's previous his
tory.
The declaration of the dividend
nlednS the pay HCHt DS thc COMPANY

rectors fixed December Is as the
date of distribution of the dividend
to stockholders of record on Novem-
Der 20. The dividend just announc-
ed is the second declared by the

first dividend - one of ten cents a
share and aggregating $97, $50
was paid in July of 1911 out Of the
proceeds of the sale of the Vinega-
rome fraction claim to the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company.
In announcing the declaration OF
dividend No. 2, Vice President
Charles S. Sprague made public at
the same time final figures upon the
earnings and operations Of the COM
pany for September, which show the
gross value of the output during
that month to have been $62,655

mately $4,000 greater than the pre-
liminary estimate. Mr.. Sprague es-
