failing PONDS BEING
WORKED BY LEASERS

The fine weather of the past few
days has encouraged leasers on the
talllngs ponds to greater efforts and
they are taking advantage of the
bright sunshine to increase their OBJ
eratlons. In the hot summer DAYS
values are reclaimed from tailings by
sweeping the surface after the sun
has drawn the precious contents from
the underlying shines, but during the
cold weather, when freezing has to be
expected every night, a different pro-
cess is employed.
Henry Brallier and Charles An
drews, who had a lease last wear on
the Tonopah Extension tailings, are
now saving values from the Montana
II West End mills in the Montana
gulch. On the old Tonopah Bimetallic
a dan of twenty feet at the base has
peen erected. Two sets of six COM
partment zinc boxes for precipitating
the solution have been installed. Az
ter settling the shines in the pond the
leasers decant them into a clarifvino
and then run out into zinc boxes
where they are precipitated and dis
charged back into the gulch. In cold
weather the leasers make an AVERAGE
OF 20 a tor and treat 65 tons
uaiis' Win a capacity for increasing
that amount as the weather moder-
ates.-BOnanza.

The Business Outlook

Commenting on the business conditions that have prevailed in the
country during the past year Bradsreets review for 1913, just is
sued, points out that while the disruption of business. in many lines, was
trade and finance to respond to the apparently strong position of this
better tone toward the close of the year and the forecast is for a revival
early in the current year that will offset much of the disqunt and de-
preston of 1913.
The statement takes the view. held by many authorities in the
financial world, that financial depression such as that which marked
last year business in this country, is exceedingly likely to be followed
by a reaction in the opposite direction and that the country may reason
ably expect a period of substantial business prosperity in the near flu
.ure. This revival, it is believed, can be prevented only by the most I'M
favorable crop developments and accompanying, unforeseen tightness OF
money, and the latter contingency is regarded as remote.
Among the most potent factors mentioned as having exerted an in
huence upon American business, pro or con, are the following: The
revelation, brought about by the Balkan war, that overborrowing
abroad had reached a dangerous point; that gold was being boarded in
vast quantity in central and eastern Europe a IS a direct result OF the
war; military preparations throughout Europe; depression of American
securities by foreign selling; the fact that we were exporting gold in
stead of importing it; dsquiet over legislation at Washington; early
activity in domestic trade and industry showing a marked recession
tariff changes and crop shortages; foreign trade surprising in volume
all previous records; increased industrial outputs and gross railroad
earnings, coupled with high prices.
The prediction is made that the enactment of the currency measure
by congress will render money cheaper and easier to obtain in 1914
than at any time last year. In summing up the situation, the report
says: Time will, perhaps, be needed to heal the bruises; they were
hardly deep-seated injuries that the business world received in 1913,
but past experience would seem to indicate that, lacking any serious
damage to the business fabric, of which there are no really tangible
signs, a comparatively quick revival from the quiet visible in many
lines should ensue, governed, of course, by money and crop develop
ments.'

CONTACT SHOWS
WIDE ORE SPREAD

Referring to recent development
work at several of the active proper
ties, the Contact Miner says that a
corporation holding 81 claims, every
claim of which is located on ore, is
a condition seldom met with in the
mining world, and it is doubtful if
outside of the Contact mining dis
trict such a thing can be found. Such
conditions do exist on the Contact
Copper company's ground.
The Lucky group of twelve claims
and the Blue Rock of nine claims
comprise the holdings of the COM
pany. In every location hole there
may be found ore of such quality and
quantity as to convince the most
skeptical, be he a novice Or a pro-
fessional mining man, that there is
certainly great mineral wealth with
in the confines of the walls of the
immense dixie or veins of this prop
erty. These veins are from five to
over two hundred feet in width and
almost every place work has been
done on this property a high state
of naturalization has been disclosed.
The greatest amount of develop
ment work has been done on the
Lucy No. l., where a shaft $50 feet
deep shows high grade ore all the
way from top to bottom. This COM
pany intends to patent the property
in the spring and then to pursue a
vigorous campaign of development by
sinking a shaft on one of their best
showings in the permanent sulphides.

TRUST MORTGAGE
FOR $3,500,000
1T Is GIVEN BY THE COPPER
MINES COMPANY OF
ELY

A trust mortgage from the CONSOLE
dated Coppermines company to the
Bankers Trust company of New
York City was filed this morning in
the office of the county recorder. The
mortgage is given to secure an is
sue of $~3,50O,00O in bonds in denomi-
nations of 500, $500 and $1,000
which will draw interest at the rate
of Z per cent, the interest to be pay
able semi-annually in February and
August of each year.
The bonds are to mature August
1, 1928, but may be called for pay
ment on any interest date at 10 per
CEN of par and accrued interest; or,
they may be converted into stock at
the option of the holders. BondhOld-
ers desiring to make such an ex-
change will receive certificates of full
paid stock equal to the face value of
tie stock at the date of conversion.
The right of holders of bonds
which have been called for payment
to exchange their holdings for shares
of capital stock shall continue only
until and including the date fixed for
redemption or purchase of the bonds.
By the trust mortgage all the min
solidated Coppermines company now
owned and plants of machinery now
owned or to be constructed during the
life of the bonds are pledged for Sc
curity of the bond obligations. All
shares of subsidiary corporations
owned by the Coppermines company
are also pledged, this including l.
500 $50 shares of the Giroux Consol-
idated Mines company out of the
total issue of "1,441,42O shares, and
111,336 out of 100000 shares OF
the Butte & Ely Copper company.

Central shares as they are under
stood to have been completely alb
sorbed by the merger company, or
that they will be shortly, while it
may not be possible to do with re-
gard to the Giroux and Butte and

Americas Foreign Commerce

The foreign commerce OF the United States in the calendar year
ports. The imports Of the eleven months ended with November were
1000 million, and should the December imports equal those OF Novem-
Der, the total for the full year would be ST 756OooOoo. The exports of
the eleven months ended with November we're ,25I million, and should
the December exports equal those of November, the total would be So,
100000. This estimate would make the excess of exports over inn
ports approximately 74o million dollars.
The figures of exports and of excess over imports will exceed
those of any earlier year. The largest exports in any preceding calendar
year was that of 1912, which showed a total of S2,3oo2I7y9o3 and as
the corresponding period of the preceding year, the estimate of ap-
proximately 2H billion for 1913 seems to be justified. The excess OF
exports over imports in the eleven months ended with November was
642 million dollars, and for the single month of November 81 million,
thus apparently justiying the estimate of 7o million excess of exports
for the full year.
In imports, the total for 1913 will be less than that of 1912 but
larger than that of any preceding year. This decline in imports in 1913
is due in part to reduction in prices of certain articles imported. While
the quantity of sugar imported in the ten months ended with October
pounds, the value of this larger quantity imported during the 1913
period was 22 million dollars less than that of the corresponding period
of 1912.
Coffee imports are much below those of 1912, the figures for the
ten months ended with October, 1913, being 635 million pounds, against
72 million in the same period of last year and the value but so million
dollars, against Io4 million in the corresponding months of last year.
Tea shows a fall in imports of ~ million dollars in value. Manu-
facturers' materials show, as a group, a decline of about 5 per cent
when compared with the corresponding period of last year, this being
in quantity. Imports of crude rubber, for example, show for the ten

NeUada's New Mining Law

Little hardship and possibly much good will result from the en-
forcennent of the new law, enacted by the last legislature and which
became operative on the first day of the new year, prohibiting the en-
poyment, in underground work, of miners who cannot speak English
or readily read notices printed or written in English. This measure is
one that has had the earnest support and endorsement of State Mining
Inspector Ryan and of most of the mine operators and managers.
For the most part the miners employed in Nevada are of the
English speaking class and in all probability it will be found that but
two mining districts of Importance, Tonopah and Ely, are in any APP
precabe degree affected by the provisions of the law. AS a measure
of safety in mine operation, in preventing accidents through ignorance
or misunderstanding, the law merit" the commentator OF all mine oper-
ators and its fullest enforcement should be demanded everywhere.

Hardly a day passes that it does not bring new and stronger evil
dence of the stability of the mining industry in the Goldfeld district and
definite information of new discoveries or developments that are of the
greatest potential Importance to the camp. By those best qualified to
express an opinion it is universally predicted that the present year will
mark a notable era in the history of Goldfeld and that the early part of
the year will see the opening up of several new producing mines. De
veIopment at a number of places has now reached a point where this
prediction may be realized at any time and there is every reason to take
an optimistic view of the future.

that 1912 had seen the gold production of the world reach the topmost
Jung of the ladder. In this connection it is interesting to note that tie

gold production for the year 1913 at S455oooooo, a decrease of Sill,
