THIN FOLKS MADE FAT
The Way SamOse Works IT'S Wonders
Guaranteed by DIR. Howard Co.


More than half the readers Of THE
EVENING JOURNAL would give al
most anything to be plump and rosy
instead Of thin and scrawny.
Physicians and chemists for years
have studied the problem OF making
a flesh forming food but IL is only
within the last few months that a
bright man discovered the prescrip-
tion that taken with the daily meals
gives a positive increase In flesh.
In fact It was so certain in its action
that "a guarantee was attached to each
package stating that If weight did not
increase as result of using il, the
purchase price would be refunded.
This preparation is now put up in
convenient form for use under the
name Of Samose.
Taken with each meal, it enables
the food you eat to assimilate with
the system and that In connection
with its own flesh forming and tissue
building foods gives healthy flesh
The emaciated form fills out into the
beautiful curves of plumpness, the
scrawny limbs become round and
Erm, the cheeks ill out and take on
the rosy bloom of perfect health and
normal strength.
n. B. Danforth secured the agency
in Wilmington for Samose and as the
percentage of satisfactory results
from the use of this prescription Is
so nearly one hundred per cent, Or

JUMBO EX. IS ON
A PAYING BASIS
CONDITIONS ARE OUTLINED IN A
CIRCULAR LETTER ISSUED
By MANAGER

E. S. Van Dyck, formerly presi-
dent of the Jumbo Extension Mining
company and who is still acting as
general manager for that company,
has been in Goldfield during the
week and stated to the Goldfield
News and Tribune, i'm an interview,
that he had reached the decision to
resign from the directorate and head
of the company owing to the neces-
sity for his devoting more of his
time to other enterprises and that he
had deferred this action until the
company had been placed upon
profit-earning basis.
1t now appears certain, said Mr..
Van Dyck, that the Jumbo Extension
Is on successful operating basis
and that good profits are assured for
a long time. He said that he had
selected Charles S. Sprague and his
associates to succeed him in the con-
troll of the company's affairs in the
bslief that they are best able to con-
duct the business to the best inter-
ests of the stockholders. In a cir
cular letter that Mr.. Van Dyck is
sending out to the stockholders of
, the Jumbo Extension company, he
says:
This is to advise you that | have
resigned from the board of directors
of the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany, but for a time will continue to
act as general manager Do not as
sumo that, in taking this step, l am
abandoning a sinking ship, for such
is not by any means the case. The
darkest days of the company have
passed and since July, 1913, it has
Eeen operating at steadily increas-
ing profit. The net for December
was more than the total profit for
the preceding five months.
'Snce the day | first assumed the
management of the company, l have

MANHATTAN PROSPERITY SEEMS
ASSURED DURING current YEAR

Manhattan, has been consummated,
Mr.. L. X. Koontz, president of the
Big Four company, has given the
fullest assurance to the Goldfield
News and Tribune that no such deal
has been concluded and that negotia-
tions are still pending.
The widest reports have come
from Manhattan and Boston, regard
ing this proposed deal and regarding
the reports that woul6 eventually be
issued by the engineers who have
reported on the properties. The only
authentic reports, so far as can be
learned from the management, have
appeared in the columns of the Gald-
field News and Tribune.
Following are excerpts from the
Manhattan Post, outlining some of
the present activities in the district:
The Mushett Wittenberg leases
on the Big Pine and Dexter are
making a very promising showing of
late. The glory-ho1e work on the
Big Pine seems to have no trouble
in keeping the mill going, and as
soon as the roads become in better
shape so that the transportation
posts can be reached, the operation
of the Big Pine glory-hole will
show similar working costs with the
Reilly Fraction work.
The new ore recently opened up
in the Union Nine lease is still in
its preliminary stage, considerable
timbering and filling being essential
before Stopping operations could be
prosecuted to any extent. The show

The Manhattan district gives prom
Use of becoming one of the important
gold bullion producers of the state
during the current year, but opera
tions at a number of the foremost
properties are held up pending the
conclusion of negotiations that are
now being conducted, and appear
certain of consummation, and that
will bring together, under common
operating head, several of the most
promising properties in the district.
Manhattan had an incipient boom,
and a false start, before the San
Francisco earthquake, and it has re-
quired a long time and more than
the normal amount of development
work and ore exposures to overcome
the handicap of collapsed over
promotion.
Since the boom times the district
has been develOpe along scientific
lines and sufficient tonnage of mill
ore has been exposed to insure the
success of mining operations, if con-
Quoted on a miner-like and business
like basis. Manhattan has been
purged of all suggestion of wildcat
mining and while the average value
Of the ore mined hereafter may be

SUNSET COMPANY
MAY ERECT MILL
AUTHORIZE BUILDING OF
REDUCTION PLAr.T

The annual meeting of stockhold-
ers of the Sunset Mining and Devel-
opment company will be held in San
Francisco on January 21, when the
question of the immediate erection
of a mill will be considered and it is
generally believed that a decision
will be reached to proceed at once
with the construction of plant of at
least 1000 tons monthly capacity.
This mill, according to present plans,
will be erected near the portal of
the Tramp Consolidated tunnel,
through which the ore will be
trammed from the Tramp shaft and
from other workings in the proper
ties comprising the merger.
During a recent visit in the east
E. S. Van Dyck, president and man
ager of the company, took up the
matter of mill construction with a
number of the principal stockholders,
who expressed themselves as favoring
the plan to begin, as soon as possible,
treating the large tonnage of low
grade mill ore that is already ex-
posed on the property. Exhaustive
tests of the ore by assay and mill
runs have led the management to
believe that the product can be ham
died at total cost, for mining and
milling, of SO per ton. The ore is
free-milling throughout and can be
mined at an exceedingly low cost.
Development work is now in prog
ress and the main Tramp tunnel is
being driven to connect with the old
workings of the Denver Bullfrog An
mex, in which large quantities of mill
ore have been developed. An inter-
mediate level has been established
on the Hobo vein, at a depth of 265
feet, and the vein is shown to be of
large size.
Drifts are being extended both
ways on the vein, showing ore for the
full width of the drifts of an average
value varying from 81 to Sc per
ton. The extent of the vein matter
has not been determined by cross
cuts. Development work performed
during the past year has resulted in
adding $4,000 tons of pay ore to the
reserves, according to the estimates
of the company's engineers. E. T.
Hager is the engineer in charge of
operations.

water was encountered about the
middle of October, and driving was
temporarily abandoned, though 1t
was resumed later in the year The
Excelsior Copper Mining company
continued the development of its
claims at Whiskey Flat.
At Aurora. the Aurora Consoli-
dated Mines company began to build
a 5OO-ton cyanide plant that is to
be completed in April, 1914. This
company owns about half the prop
erty in this district and is driving
drainage tunnel to tap the vein
at 300-fOot depth.
At Buckhorn, the Buckhorn Mines
company erected a 350-tOn mill and
cyanide plant, and the COrtez Mining
& Reduction company erected 30
ton silver-lead concentrator mill at
Mill canyon, about four miles from
Buckhorn.
The United Smelling, Refining &
Mining company continued develop
ment in small way at it's Rich
mond-Eureka property, pending the
settlement of it's suit with the Eure-
ka-Nevada railroad for a reasonable
rate
In Goldfield, the Consolidated COM
rany operated throughout 1913
with only slight Interruptions, opera
tions being curtailed in April to make
changes in the filter plant. The pro-
duction for the year will amount to
about 100000 tons, and the profit
to about $3,OOO,OO0. 1t seems that
this profit, however, was made in the
first quarter, during which the ore
treated averaged $21. The grade of
the ore treated in the last three quar-
ters of the year was much lower, the
monthly profit averaging less than
100000. The cost per ton was re-
duced from about 81 at the beginning
of the year to slightly over Sc for
the latter months. Albert Burch
was appointed manager, succeeding
7. f. Thorn, who went to Salvador.

PIONEER CON. IS
MAKING SUCCESS
TO HAVE YIELDED GOOD
RETURNS

Mining and milling operations of
the Pioneer Consolidated company
are progressing in a most satisfac-
tory manner and gratifying results
were obtained in the recent cleanup
of the cyanide department at the
mill and in retorting the product for
shipment in the new furnace plant.
The company has developed an am
pie supply of water at it's springs,
from which the water is conveyed
through a pipe line to the mill, and
everything about the plant is work
ing smoothly, with the assurance
that there can be no hitch or inter-
ruption in it's successful operation.
The mine is in better condition
than at any time in the past and Su-
perintendent Bryan has been adding
constantly to the visible ore reserves,
having placed over 1000 tons in sight
in advance of mill requirements dur
ing the past few weeks. The ore is
being followed downward and ap-
pears stronger and of better grade
as depth is attained and it is esti-
mated that there is an ample supply
of excellent mill ore to occupy the
mill. at full capacity, for nearly two
years to come. The property is now
on a profit-earning basis and is con-
dition to continue earning money in

UNITY CLUB HAS
GREAT MEETING
"GET TOGETHER" MOVEMENT
TAKES FORM IN EFFECTING
ORGANIZATION

The first called meeting of the
Goldfield Unity club, an organiza-
tion formed for the purpose of bring
ing into closer business and social
relations all elements in the Gold
field district, was held at the Hippo
drome on Thursday evening and in
spite of inclement weather the large
theater was crowded. Throughout
the evening the keenest interest was
manifested in the proceedings, which
took the form of perfecting per-
manent organization, adopting con-
stitution and bylaws and electing
board of directors.
The meeting was presided over by
w. ID. HattOn, with Robert Scruby
acting as temporary secretary and
the following well-known Goldfield
men were chosen by ballot to be
members of the board of directors:
Albert Burch, Elmer King, Dr. j. l..
Mccarthy, j. X. Milne, Michael Can
non, William Reid, William Ballan-
tyne and A. w. Honsigner, with
Richard Pooley and j. A. Cody tied
for ninth place on the list. The board
will hold meeting shortly and will
issue a call for meeting under the
permanent organization. 1t is ex-
pected that much good will accrue to
the camp from this organization and
that club quarters will be secured
without delay.

and only comparatively small por-

opens unlimited possibilities for the

gin ground and at greater depth.

many important camps within the
state, some of the most famous and
older ones and some that are ex-
pected to be famous in the future.
Manhattan had fairly active year,
about one-fifth of the production be-
ing from placer operations. The gen.
eral trend is toward mining low-grade
ores on a larger scale. The most
important operators were the Man
haitian White Caps Mining company,
the Big Four Mining company, the
Riley Fraction, the Wittenberg &

and Mayfower claims, and the opera
tions of Mr.. Brady and associates
on the Union No. 8, the Jumping
Jack and the Earl claims. Most of
these properties are operating on
free-gold ore. The latter part of
the year was quiet owing to pending
negotiations for the consolidation of
several properties. The treatment
of the low-grade orebodies offers the
best field at present, and it is ex-
pected that these will be exploited
in 1914.

TALMAGE GROUP WORKINGS

Development continues on the
Talmage property, on the east slope
of Vindicator Mountain, and some
ore of good grade has been exposed
in the progress of this work Man
ager c. w. Hays now has force of
men at work and will carry on the
development on liberal scale in the
belief that orebOdies of value will
be opened up in this ground. The
ore carries some copper but has the
appearance of that contained in
some of the richest veins of the dis
trict. The vein that has been pene-
trated en- two levels is of large size
and is apparently influenced by the
big Vindicator Mountain fault, which
is similar in every respect to the Col
umbia Mountain fault, farther to the
west.

SILVER PICK IS
PREPARING SUMP
SHAFT Is STILL IN BIG LEDGE
THAT SHOWS FINE-LOOK-
ING QUARTZ

Preparations are now being made
to cut a station in the main shaft of
the Silver Pick Consolidated prop
erty and a sump is now being pre-
pared for this purpose, extending be-
low a depth of 500 feet The new
level will be established at depth Of
4S5 feet and extensive lateral work
will be conducted on this level, to
open up and explore the great vein
penetrated by the shaft. For a dis
tance of over 80 feet the shaft has
been in this vein and has not yet
reached the foot-wall.
This vein is composed of quartz of
excellent quality, in which is found
the tale and siliceous matter that
characterizes the best ore deposits of
the Goldfield district Average as
says across the width of the shaft,
taken at frequent intervals in sink
ing, have varied from 50 to $40 per
ton. The strike of the vein is ap-
parently east of north and this is
plainly part of the main north
south vein system that traveses the
property.
On the 270-foot level a large cross
fissure was penetrated and it is
known that there are several other
cross veins in this territory, but none

LOW GRADE MATERIAL IS SHOW.
IN MAIN DRIFT ON 200
LEVEL

On the 20O-foot level of the Ver-
nal property, in the Diamondfield
part of the district, the main drift
is being extended to cut the ORE
shoot that was followed to a depth
of nearly 160 feet by winze from
the 100-foot level and for the past
90 feet low-grade ore has been show
ing in this drift, the average value
across the face of the drift being
around So per ton. In this vein are
seams Of better material but there
has been no effort by the manage
ment to sort any of the material
hoisted or to follow or prospect any
of the better seams, as every effort
Is being devoted to reaching the ore
shoot, which is the objective point
for which the drift is being driven.
1t is expected that it will require
nearly 100 feet of driving to reach
the ore-shoot and the point under
the winze where raise will be start
ed to connect with the winze. A
grab sample of the ore in sight in
the bottom of the winze assayed
about 5000 per ton and the rich ore
varied in width at that point from
one to three feet, the rich material
being contained in a vein of large
dimensions. The most recent ship
ment of ore from this vein returned
over 800 per ton.

ORE OF GOOD GRADE
FROM THE LUCY CAMP

A shipment of 19 tons of ore has
been made recently from a property
in the Lone Mountain district, now
being operated by j. E. Lucy, and the
ore is said to have made a net re-
turn of $32.95 per ton. 1t is said
that a body of ore of good size is
showing in the breast of a drift and
that this ore has yielded average
assays around $50 per ton, while
assays as high as $3.50 per ton have
been obtained On the property. The
ore has been shipped to the sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company.
