remain in force until the final termi-
nation of the causes of action.
Referring to your claim against
the Keane-Wonder Mining company,
the sum of $4S,016.s2 was secured
to your company on the 2Sth day of
March, 1914. This sum of money
represents your proportion of the
amount paid to date into the hands
of the trustee in San Francisco,
from time to time, by the Keane-
Wonder company, under the terms of
the stipulation entered into several
years ago.
Under this stipulation the amount
involved in your claim was to be
paid into the hands of the trustee to
be held by him, pending the final de-
cision in suit brought by the re-
ceiver of the State Bank & Trust COM
pany, by which they claimed owner
ship of your claim against the
Keane Wonder company on the
grounds that the trade made by your
company with the Keane-Wonder
company, at the time of the suspen-
sion of the State bank, was illegal.
while the State Bank & Trust
company had absolutely no claim on
this money in fact or in law, your
directors concluded after consider
able negotiation that a compromise
with the State Bank receiver, by
which they were to receive 20 per
cent of the Keane-W Wonder claim and
your company so per cent. was better
than to continue the litigation and
expense thereof for four or five
years more, and a compromise was
effected on this basis, and the funds
in the hands of the trustee as stated
above released. 80 per cent being
paid to your company and 20 per
cent to the State Bank.
THE release of the money in the
hands of the trustee leaves net

TALLMAGE GETS
GOOD RESULTS
ERABLE ORE OF GOOD
VALUl;

Results of a highly encouraging
character continue to be obtained by
the management of the Tallmage
Mines company in the operation Of
it's property on Vindicator mountain.
The work being prosecuted on the
200 and 3OO-foot levels is yielding a
considerable tonnage of ore which by
slight sorting gives a $50 per ton
product. The ore thus saved is be-
ing hoisted to the surface and stored
with the seventy tons of rock of like
value recently removed from under
ground workings, where it had ac-
cumulated, to facilitate development
work.
On the 20O-foot level, the north
drift is out 120 feet from the west
crosscut from the shaft. The face
is exposing quartz that averaged from
IS to $19 per ton. A crosscut to de-
termine the entire width of the vein
has just been started near the pres
ent face of the drift. A crosscut to
Tie walls, uTlNcu lTOIu llc uTliI dL d
point about 80 feet from the west
crosscut, showed the vein to be more
than twenty feet wide. The face of
the south drift on the vein on the
200-foot level is now about 1875 feet
from the west crosscut from the
shaft and is exposing ore that aver
ages about $12 a ton. A winze has
been started in the drift, near the
present face. on ore which, by sort
ing, runs $50 ton.
On account of the tightening up of
the dacite, work in the east crosscut
on the 300-foot level has advanced
slowly of late. The face is now
about 73 feet from the shaft and
Manager C. w. Hays is confident
that the crosscut will soon reveal the
big vein which outcrops on the sur
face.

the present 80 ton daily production,
the Bonnie Glare plant is working
full capacity.
Underground conditions at the
Jumbo Extension mine continue
highly satisfactory. The face of the
northeast drift into the newly ac-
quired Velvet claim on the S5O-foot
intermediate level is exposing seven
feet of ore that averages $73.05 a
ton. The stope above this drift is
being advanced eastward on six
feet of $12.52 per ton ore. The drift
is now 14O feet across the line of
the POleverda claim and will soon be
connected with the 75-foot raise from
the 921-foot level east drift. After
a suspension of about two weeks, op-
erations in the face of the 921-fOOt
level drift, which is about $50 feet
across the line of the POlOverda
claim, will be resumed in few days.
Twenty inches of ore that averages
$1O5 a ton is being mined from the
stope above this drift.
Florence GOldfeld
According to General Superintend-
ent Harry B. Clapp, no developments
out of the ordinary occurred during
the last week in the Florence mine.
Three carloads of ore were shipped,
making total of thirteen thus far
this month. The stope on the new
body of rich ore, exposed several
months ago above the 150-foot level
Immediately north of the shaft, has
been connected with the north drift

fourteen inches of ore that yields
values ranging from 500 to $50 a
ton. Four feet of ore that averages
from SIS to $40 ton is being ex-
tracted from the hanging wall streak
of the Florence vein in an old stope
above the main south drift on the
200-fOot level Work continues on
the old Wheeler lease vein which was
recently opened up by the north
drift on the 53O-foot level. The

NO NEW OFFENSIVE.
 DECLARE GERMANS

Berlin, December 25.-(By Wireless to Sayviie)--Items given out today by the official press bureau include:
 Despite stubborn fighting along the whole eastern front Major Moraht, mil ftary correspondent of the Tageblatt says he believes the Russian resistance is no new offensive, but is made up of rear-post conbats designed to cover the retirement of the main armies for reor- eanizaton back of the middle Nistula.
 Partial successes by the Russians. the correspondent says, are possible here and there since they do not hesitate to sacrifice great numbers of men. He doubts whether the Russians have fresh troops back of their line.
 "An Austrian report indicates that the Carpathians are being cleared gradually of the enemy, who is stubbornly holding his own in Galicia. where Vienna has no successes to report On the lower course of the Nida river (southern Rus sian Poland), however. 2000 Russia ms have been captured
