AFFAIRS OF BRISTOL CONSOLIDATED
ARE FOUND IN DEPLORABLE SHAPE

this stock up for sale and buy 1t
in. If this stock is to be redeemed 1t
is necessary for me to have in hand
about $4,000 or 100000. There is
no way of raising that money as there
are no assets which can be put up
as security. The receiver will have
possession of $4,000 shares of the
stock of the Day-Bristol but this is
not sufficient security to raise that
amount of money, although the
amount is small in comparison with
the value and benefits to be obtained
by the stockholders.
The Bristol company owes in the
neighborhood of SIS, 900 to the Alas
ka-Ebner Gold Mines company,
which must be taken into considera-
ton in any plan of reorganization,
but the payment thereof can doubt
less be deferred until the reorganiza-
ton plan is formulated and carried
out.
For your protection won are earn
estly requested to nominate from the
list of principal stockholders in your
company herewith enclosed, five
stockholders to act as a protective
committee, and upon receipt by the
receiver of your nominations, the five
votes will at once be called together
for the purpose of organizing as such
protective committee and taking such
measures as shall to them seem more
efficient for your protection. Prompt
action by you is earnestly advised
and requested.-Pioche Record.

CADILLAC OWNERS HAVE
O,OOO-MILE CLUB

California has developed a new
idea in organizations of motor a
owners. In most instances automo-
bile clubs are non-exclusive in men,
bership 80 far as the achievement of
car and owner is concerned, qualifica-
lions being based or entirely differ
ent matters. The new California idea,
however, is based entirely on driving
records, and is confined to Cadillac
owners who have a mileage of $4,000
or mor
The idea started in the garage Of
Don Lee, California distributor for
the Cadillac, when several owners re-
Gently were swapping experiences in
Keeling off the miles. Nearly all had
driven at least $4,000 miles and
there were some who had touched the
$1,000 and 100000 marks. Some
one suggested that a long-distance
touring club be formed and the idea
met with such favor that the "Cadil-
lac SO, OOO-Mile Club" was organized
Immediately.
There are a large number of Cad
illacs in California known to have
passed the 100000 mile mark, but
10000 miles was selected as the
minimum for membership qualifica-
ton in order to admit those who
have been driving only two or three
years. Perhaps a dozen men quail
fled as charter members, but the club
proved to be such a popular idea
that the membership grew with great
rapidity and Don Lee reports that he
expects the club will have an enroll
ment Of 1000 before the season is
we'll advanced.
1t is probable that the club will
have several classes so that the own
ers who boast of 100000 miles can
profit by a little special distinction.
Each member of the club will carry
a small plate on the radiator of his
car which will be the badge of dis
tinction.

OLD DESERT QUEEN NINE
MAY GIVE AN ACCOUNTING

G. w. Kinney spent a few days the
past week in the vicinity of White
Plains on business, and called on
Walter Smith, owner of the old Des-
ert Queen mine in northern Churchill
county. Walter Smith came to this
county in 1868 and for thirty years
has been engaged in mining and pros
pecting in this county. He is now
~ years Of age and still hopes to
terests.
A few months ago he gave an op-
ton to eastern capitalists on the Old
Desert Queen and they have been
sinking the main shaft deeper. At
$50 feet they report having picked
up the ore again and are o than
pleased with the prospects. 1t ie re-
ported that they have several hun
dred tons of ore on the dumps and
most of it shipping ore. They are
in great hopes of picking up the same
ledge that produced so handsomely
in the early days. At that time the
ore ran from $500 to $500 per ton.
1t is asserted that there are thou
sands of tons Of ore on the dumps of
the Old Desert Queen that will run
from So to $12 per ton. 1t is under
stood that the option run for two
years from the date of it's execution.
and if the eastern men exercise it
there will be lively times once more
in the northeastern corner of
Churchiu.-Churchill Standard.

EXPRESS RATES IN STATE
ARE SOON TO BE LOWERED

Wells Fargo express rates within
the state of Nevada will be lowered
an average of 25 per cent as a re-
suit of a conference just concluded
between the officials of the company
headed by General Traffic Manager
Lockwood of San Francisco, and the
railroad commission of Nevada at
Carson City. By July it is expected
new tariffs will be published by the
express company which will set the
Reno commission and produce hous-
es, creameries and jobbing houses on
a basis of better than equality with
Sacramento and other outside points
which have been monopolizing Ne
vada territory.

The Ophir company in the stope of
the %235O-foot level, from the west
crosscut from the southwest DRIFT,
from the third to the sixth floors, ex-
tracted 33 cars of ore averaging
$12.2S per ton. The southwest drift
on this level in the east vein was
advanced Is feet to the 97-foot point
and from the advance % cars of an
average assay value of $11.29 per
ton we're saved. The face of the drift
is now in low grade quartz assaying
from 81 to $10.95 per ton. One
round of holes was put in the Har-
dy vein drift, and advanced Iour feet.
Total length 81 feet. Theface is in
quartz and porphyry, the quartz as
saying from SO cents to 81 a ton.
On the 2400 level 80 feet up in the
raise started from the end of the
east crosscut, the west crosscut has
been stopped, and at a point AZ feet
in this crosscut a north drift was *
tended six feet, with face in porphy-
ry and stopped. In the east crosscut
from the main southwest drift on
the 2400, at the 49-foot point, a
southwest drift has been started and
advanced II feet through quartz and
porphyry, the quartz assaying from
81 to $1,000 per ton. There was
shipped to the mill during the week,
1876 tons of mine ore and 410 tons
of dump ore. The General tunnel has
now been repaired for a distance of
80 feet.
Con. Virginia, on the $500 level,
has extended the northeast drift on
the vein for a distance of 20 feet;
total length 28S feet. The drift con-
tinues in vein formation, showing
seams of quartz assaying 81 a ton.
Jointly with the Ophir and Comstock
Pumping association, work has been
started preparatory to sealing the
the $500 level for the purpose of car
rying out plans to improve the ven-
tilation.
The Sierra Nevada company sank
the winze from the 25OO-foot level, a
distance of II feet to the 76-foot
point and placed two sets Of tim

TOTAL PRODUCTION OF COMSTOCK IS
ESTIMATED AT ONE BILLION DOLLARS

Alfred Chantz, writing In the Car
son News, said:
During the last "a years I have
read many estimates and statements
of the gold and silver product of
the Comstock lode from 1859 to
date. They vary from $500, 900, 900
to 500, 100000 or more.
1t was about the year 1890 when
1 was a reporter On the Territorial
Enterprise. 1 spent much time dur
ing about three months in attempt
ing to ascertain the total product of
the Comstock lode, taking the lode
from the Utah on the north to the
Silver Hill on the south. 1 corre-
sponded with Wells Fargo & Co. with
reference to bullion shipments, and
correspondent with the Stock Ex-
change with reference to dividends
paid, and all the information they
had. 1 interviewed the mining SUI
perintendents to put me wise to any
thing they might know. I delved
into every nook and corner I could
conceive to obtain information and
reach an approximate estimate of the
total value of the ores produced on
the Comstock, meaning the entire re-
suit from reduction. Generally
speaking, 1 received courteous treat
ment and much help from every
source that I sought, except from the
mining superintendent, and really
they knew but little. In short, they
nursed their jobs and were mum, e

SEVEN TROUGHS AND
ROCHESTER, ACTIVITIES

Reports from the Seven Troughs
Coalition mine are to the effect that
the south drift from the 1850 level
is exposing one foot of ore assaying
1865 a ton and that the face of the
north drift on the same level has
six inches running 1854, says the
Lovelock Review-Miner. The slopes
from the various levels are strong
and assay we'll up to the high stand
ard of values which this ore shoot
!, has maintained from it's first discov-
cry. Drifts have been started north
and south from the 1900 level, where
the vein increases fourteen inches
and averages over 5000 a ton.
The 100 level south drift from
the old workings is being pushed
ahead for a connection with the
present seat of operations to facili-
tate and cheaper the handling of the
ore and waste and afford better air
currents. Following the regular
monthly cleanup, which is now un-
der way, the mill will be hung up
for a few days while a new camshaft
is being placed and other necessary
repairs made.
A trip to the Nevada Packard
mine Wednesday by Mark Walser
and Frank M%argrave, officers of the
company, was fruitful of much salts
faction at the continued strong i'm
provement in all the workings on
the property. They report that the
body of ore in the lower tunnel has
been crosscut to the fOotwall, prov
ing a width in that place of 20 feet
of mill ore. Work is being pushed
into the hill along the fOotwall side
of this ore body and is now in so
feet.

I remember his nsw why, boy,
your figures are the closest / have
yet e 1 have been figuring on the
total product of the Comstock lode
for nearly a year, and my figures are
about $70,O00,00 more than yours.
Here, you fail to take into account
the product of the Hayward and Ho-
bart lease of the Chollar and Potosi,
from which they took out about $780,
OOO, 900, account of which you can
not find in any records, and fail to
account for other leases-one in the
Gould & Curry, which produced from
SIS, 900 to $20,000,00O and
you fail to account for millions that
were reported to have gone into tall
ings which are not there, having
been retrieved and switched to peck
cts where it did not belong. Accord
ing to my figures the Comstock lode
has produced $770,000,000 without
taking into account the amount that
v;as reported as having gone into the
tailings, which reached the
tailings, but was diverted into pri-
vate pockets"
Now, adding this latter sum, as
suggested by Mr.. Prendergast, and
aiding the product of leases which
were never reported, I sum up and
conclude that the total product OF
the Comstock lode to date is over a
billion dollars.
This huge sun was extracted from
a territory extending about four
miles in length (only a small part of

1000 feet in width. The lode is real
