finding of values at depth means a
great deal for the district. The re-
suits that are now being accomplish
ed by several of the companies will
encourage others to resume opera
lions and sink to depth. OF course,
it will take time and money, but
there is no doubt In my mind as to
the ultimate results. In my op1n-
ion Goldfeld is just now entering
upon an era of great activity and
prosperity.
"As to the Merger property, the
company, as is already known, is ex-
ploring it's territory at depth along
the contact of latte and shale from
the 1265-foot level of the Grizzly
Bear shaft of thu Goldfield Console
dated Mines company. This work
will be continued. We are watching
closely the operations of the Atlanta
Mines company on the 1750-foot
level. The results accomplished by
that company will largely govern flu
ture operations in the Merger
ground. 1 expect to make another
visit to Goldfeld next month, as L
wish to keep in close touch with To-
cal Developments"

NEW CAPITAL IN LONE STAR

tContinued from rage one)
I have perfected had been made, the
Lone Star company did not feel war
ranted in undertaking its develop
ment without assured financial re-
sources. This backing l have been
able to secure, and from now on the
Lone Star will be the scene of live
mining activity. / have been abe
to interest very important interests
which will be represented upon the
board of directors by c. o. White
more, president of the Goldfeld Mer-
ger Mines company.
"W. w. Watterson, president of
the Inyo County bank at Bishop, has
been and still remains president of
the Lone Star. / will represent the
interests of the Charles s. Sprague
company on the board. Mark Wat
terson will be another director and
will act as treasurer. Joseph Hen
derson will continue as a director
and secretary.
with an aggressive management,
plenty of capital and intelligent
mining, we hope to put the Lone
Star In the list of producing COM
panies before long. In this connec-
ton l wish to say that in interesting
myself in the Lone Star it is mainly
with the view of opening up this
vast mineral farm to active opera
tions and to quicken the develop
ment of this district. If the great
find in the Jumbo Extension results
only in a stock furry in Goldfield, it
may prove to be a curse to everyone
except those, like myself, who are
Immediately interested; but if it at
tracts capital for the exploration Of
the riches underlying other ground,
it will prove a blessing to all and
make a new Goldfield. This is what
l am ambitious for, and my every
energy will be spent along this di-
rection. l have made money lately.
but 1 say to the public of Goldfield
that / do not intend to make a
cleanup and get away, but / will be
found working shoulder to shoulder
with them for years. Goldfield is
my permanent home, and my life
will be devoted to it's upbuilding."

the main east crosscut on the 500
foot level of the Kendall shaft OF

south drift on the vein has gained
a depth of more than thirty feet. The

east of the boundary line of the
Poleverda claim. 1t is p, vbable that
the extension of the ore body will be
revealed by the new raise at about
the same height as it was disclosed
above the crosscut by vertical raise
503-C, namely, forty-two feet. This
statement is based upon the fact that
the northeast and southwest drifts
from the station at the top of vert
cal raise 503-C show the vein to lie
practically fiat, instead of maintain
ing it's normal slight dip to the
southeast.
The northeast drift from the sta
ton at the top of vertical raise 503-C
now measures approximately thirty
feet in length and the face is expos
ing four feet of $40 ore. This drift
is advancing along the shale foot
wall of the vein. The southwest
drift along the hanging wall of the
vein from the same station is being
advanced on four feet of Sill ore.
The new footwall drift in the same
direction from the station is yield
ing four feet of $50 ore. Four feet
of $50 ore is being broken down
from the face of the west drift IN
the shale "B" or 952-foot interme-
date level. Slope Ala above the
east drift on the 921-foot level is
advancing on foul feet of $50 ore.

the latter about a year ago from the
old Boston Tonopah Mining COM

new MILL WILL
SOON Be STARTED
MANHATTAN COMPANY TO OP-
ERATE OLD MUSHETT-WIT-
TENBERG PLANT

The Dexter White Caps Mining
company will in the next few days
take possession of the Manhattan
Milling and Ore company mill, sam
pier and cyanide plant in the Man
haitian district. Under an arrange
ment recently perefected, Mushett
and Wittenberg, the owners of the
plant, are vacating it as fast as pos
sible and will soon place their new
mill on the Big Pine property in
commission When the old plant OPP
crates entirely on White Caps ore,
it will handle daily sixty tons of
ore. 1t is estimated hat the mill
ing costs will not exceed $2.25 per
ton. The old plant is making a re-
covery of 90 per cent and ore aver
aging Sc per ton can be mined and
milled at a profit. 1t is estimated
that there is at least 5000 tons of
Sc ore in sight at the present time
in the White Caps property.
The new Mushett and Wittenberg
tube mill on the Big Pine property
will soon be reducing ore from thai
property. 1t is predicted that the
new plant will rival that of the
Round Mountain Mining company
in the treatment of ore at a mini.
mum cost. 1t is estimated that wher
the new plant is running full ca
pacity a profit will be possible on
free milling ore averaging around
81 a ton. The owners calculate
that within a months time the new
mill will be reducing two hundred
tons of ore daily.
After a brief suspension, due to
the freezing of water in the tanks
which has necessitated the install
lation of a heating system, the AS.
ISOLATED mill is again in operation
on Manhattan Consolidated ore. The
principal output of the mine is be-
ing yielded by glory hole operations
An excellent shoot of ore has been
opened up on the surface within 800
feet of the mill and the pay rock is
being trammed to it. Approximate
ly 1900 tons of this ore has al
ready been milled. The company is
now employing a force of thirty
two men in the mine and mill.

to sinking a three compartment
shaft to the contact of latte and

the extreme western section of the
property, the development of the
eastern section will be continual by

JACKLING MINES PAY
S2,628,0O0 DIVIDENDS
UTAH COPPER HEADS LIST WITH
DISBURSEMENT DEC. 81
OF $1,211 800

Dividends amounting to approxi-
mately $2,62S,000 have been post
ed by four of the mines in charge of
Colonel D. c. Jackling. The divi-
dends are payable Dec. 81 and the
transfer books close Dec. 10. Utah
Copper will pay the usual quarterly
dividend of rs cents per share, the
amount being $1,211,360 and bring
ing the total dividends for this prop
erty up to $25,S1S,000.
In addition to this Utan mine, the
Butte & Superior pays rs cents a
share, aggregating $225,00O. Ne
vada Consolidated pays 371a cents
a share. amounting to ~$750,000, and
Chino Copper pays so cents a share,
or $435, 600. One-half or slightly
more of the Nevada Consolidated
disbursement goes into the Utah
Copper treasury, as the Utah CON-
pany owns control of the Nevada
mine and its subsidiary companies,
including the mill and smelling plant
and the Nevada No.rhern railroad.
Utah Copper is the largest divi-
dend payer of the group, and with
this disbursement it will have paid
it's fortunate share holders approx
mately $4,000, 900. To be more
exact, it's dividends total $25,S1S,-
900, and the general belief is that
the company will eventually dis
tribute 100000, 900 or more. 1t is
the largest copper producer in the
world, and the property and mills
have been shaped up so hat the
company can eclipse all past per-
formances when metal market condi-
tions Justify a steady output at ca
pacity.-Salt Lake Tribune.
