RUMORS Of 1OOO-STAMP
MILL FOR MANHATTAN

A report was current about town
this week that the Hayden-Stone
company of Boston, will have an
engineer in Manhattan in the near
future for the purpose of investigat-
ing some of the enormous low grade
propositions here, which, to be han
died profitably, must be mined and
milled on a large scale, says the
Manhattan Post.
According to the rumor, the Hay
den-Stone company has been in close
touch with local operations, and If
the report of their engineer proves
satisfactory they will take steps that
will lead to the mining Of low grade
ore here on a scale larger than a
yet been attempted in the state. Re-
a thousand-stamp fill and proceed to
treat ore running as low as 81 a ton.
1t is known that enormous bodies
of such grade ore exist here, and
the tonnage has been estimated to
run into the millions.
The operations would be similar
to those at Treadwell, Alaska, where
fifteen hundred stamps r dropping
on ore of an average value of $3.50
a ton. 1t is said that if the Boston
company, which ranks as one of the
strongest financial concerns in the
east, undertook such work here they
would install their power gen
Grating plant and secure their water
for milling from some nearby noun
tain stream.

ell, at a point about fifteen feet be-
low the latter. With an excellent
body of high class ore still standing
for further extraction, S~uperintend-
ent Clapp ceased work several days
ago in the branch raise and devoted
his attention to exposing h same
shoot in a raise on the $50
loot level about twenty feet north of
the shaft and about an equal distance
from a point in the main north drift
Immediately below where the new
find was made. This new work has
resulted in the disclosure of the rich
ore at a new point. In the new
posed hat assays $3.50 a ton, in ad-
dition to an unknown width of lower
grade ore. On the 100-fOot level, SUI
perintendent Clapp is exploring the
upward extension of the same rich
shoot of ore, a raise going up on from
two to four feet of excellent rock.
When the exploratory work has beer
completed, it is the intention of SUI
perintendent Clapp to extensively
stope the entire OrebOdy above the
150-foot level. AS the shoot has al
ready been proven to continue above
the 50-foot level, it should produce a
great tonnage of excellent ore and
thereby splendidly maintain the i'm
proved showing of the mine.
Good progress is being made on
above the main north drift. This is
going up on fOur feet of excellent
ore and is being advanced primarily
for the purpose of getting under four
feet of good ore exposed for a length
of more than 200 feet in the floor of
the main north drift on the 200-fOot
fevel.
The drift recently started on a
spur of the main vein from the main
north drift on the 35O-foot level con-
tinues to reveal six feet of ore, vary
ing in value from $12 to $40 a ton.
Splendid progress is being made in
advancing the new a S crosscut from
the main north drift on the same
level, designed to intercept the down
ward extension of the rich orebody
opened up several years ago on the
1OO-foot level of the old Won Polenz
lease. C~rosscutting southwest from
the main south drift on the 530-foot
level is also in progress, the object
i've point being the downward extern
sion of the famous orebody of the old
Little Florence lease territory.

OF II

An inspiring author is said to have
been advised by a veteran compiler
of comic operas that the essential re-
quirement was to have a large chO-
rus. to keep it well down in front,
and to have it sing all the time; the
words were unimportant. This ad-
vice seem to have been taken to
heart by one of our successful firms
of brokers. as it MAKE liberal use of
special dispatches from the Alaskan
manager to the New York office on
every occasion. One recently pub
lished announced that the workings
were now in a very fine quality of
Gabbro quartz and Galena free gold"
Evidently the words do mo- matter
if such rubbish sells shares. The
manager in this case is a technical

COPPER CANYON
PRODUCING BIG
RECENT DISCOVERIES ON VIII
LOW CREEK AND BOX CAN
YON HAVE MERIT.

VIM. Meager from Battle Noun
tain, and one of the large n of

Canyon. is in Winnemucca today at
Tending to some legal matters in con-
nection with the sale of placer ground
at the head of Copper canyon to the
''Ole" Elliott syndicate, now operat-
ing on a large scale in the district.
The sum to be REALIZED by Mr.. Mea-
ger for this working privilege by Ell
lott ct al reaches into the thousands
of dollars. Speaking of the rich
placer deposits on the Copper can
yon and Galena slopes, Mr.. Merger
said:
'All the g~ravels on benches and
bottoms of draws declining north
and south prospect pay gold. The
more prospecting done the more ex-
tensive the pay area becomes. AS a
fact all the gulches as well as some
of the mountain sides respond liber-
ally with the placer metal.
Willow creek and Box canyon are
proving, from recent discoveries, a
merit only second to Copper can
yon. The latter canyon is exceeding
" rich and prospects in places as
much as $50 to the running foot and
wherever bed rock has been reached
the gold is found in such quantity
as to assure continuous pay from the
mouth to the summit to which the
op,o ayfnnIc Tho rinhnr nhannn1
is from 25 to So feet wide. This
strip will pay enormously and from
competent placer miners the estimate
is that more than a million dollars
will be taken from the proven rich
channel. Outside of this channel
the gravels prospects good gold val
ues and will in time, when machinery
is installed, be worked extensively
and will pay big. At present only
the hand rocker is being worked. The
dirt for this is hoisted from 40 to so
feet and of course the quantity ham
died in this way is limited, yet the
workers clear from $50 to 500 per
day to the man.
"A check upon the enlarged min
ing is due to litigation. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that this will be
settled this week and rightly settled,
and if so there will be a humming
activity and production of gold from
Copper canyon that will give that Sec
ton a Klondyke aspect.
THE new discoveries are so i'm
portant as to attract new blood and
capital to the district and it will be
but a matter of time when machin-
cry, with an adequate supply OF
water, will handle the gravel and ex-
tract the millions of placer gold from
the wide area over which the gold is
distributed.

BIG MINING SUIT
IS DISSOLVED
COURT RULES PAYMENTS MUST
BE MADE FROM NINE
PROFITS.

BOSTON, Mass, April 2.-The
suit of Charles S. Hinchman of Phil
adelphia against the Consolidated
Arizona Smelling company to re-
cover $1,000 900 alleged to be due
on the purchase price of the Blue
Bell mines, was dismissed yesterday
by the United States court of appeals.
Judges Dodge and Brown held that
5000, 900 was not a part of the pur-
chase price, but the amount agreed
upon between the parties previous to
the bankruptcy proceedings, which
was expected to be collected from
the profits of the mine.
Judge Aldrich filed a dissenting
opinion. The suit grew out of an
agreement between John l.. Elliott
of New York and the company in
1906, by the terms of which the
company paid 100000 down, and
agreed to pay % per cent of the net
profits until the amount reached the
additional 100000.

DAYS Of GOLD
ARE SURPASSED
VALUE OF CALIFORNIA; MIN.
ERAL OUTPUT LAST YEAR
GREATER THAN IN 1852

The days of gold in California are
surpassed, in the total value of the
states mineral production, by the
this state, according to the latest
bulletin issued by State Mineralogist
Hamilton. In 1913 the value of
CALIFORNIA; mineral output was es-
timated at 500, 900, 600.
In regard to the growth of Cali
ton says:
I'm the early years of It's exist
ence California was a mining state,
pure and simple. Today the min
eral industry receives little attention
from the public at large, yet it is
greater and more extensive than in
the palmiest earliest days. Gold
was discovered in 1S4S. The output
for the following year amounted to
s~1O,151,36O. In 1852 it Lad grown
to a total of $S1,249,70O. With the
years succeeding this maximum pro-
duction the mines of the state con-
tinued to yield fabulous wealth, but
in decreasing amounts, until their
fame became gradually dimmed. The
low-water mark of the industry was
reached i'm 1889, when the total min
eral output equaled $16,6S1, 731,
over Sill, 900, 600 of which was gold.
That year also marked the beginning
of the present era of practical and
scientific development of the varied
mineral of the state. I'M
provement in methods of develop
ment, treatment and management
has increased the annual gold pro-
duc;ion to about $4,000, 0OO-a fig
ure which has approximately held
for the past ten years.
THE discovery and development
CT oil-bearing territory has been the
largest single factor in the recent
growth of the mineral industry, al
though the building up of the ce-
ment industry. and the exploitation
of deposits of the widely varying
structural and industrial materials
which are now commercially pro-
duced, have all helped materially in
causing it to reach its present gil
gantic proportions

Series of 1914.

MY first bank account was $500
at the & of nine. have saved ever
since. l would be just as unhappy in
not saving none every month as
l would be in losing my chance for
three meals a day. In fact, | should
eat only two meals a day if it came
to that deprivation to ave money
WIN. r. Compton, ST. Louis.
Events of the year 1894 are yet
fresh in the minds OF many who are
still young.
If you had saved from that time
s. a week at 4 per cent compound
interest, you could now enjoy al
income equal to Sc a week and still
keep your principal intact.
For all-around productiveness and
safety the owner of a modest sum
of money can find few, if any. in
vestments equivalent to a savings
bank account. An instance at Low
ell, Mass, demonstrates the truth of
the statement.
On September IS, 1853, some per-
son deposited 500 in the bank and
on July 16, 1859, another 500.
These are the only deposits ever
made. On October II, 1898, the ac-
count, let alone for 40 years, had
grown, through interest, to $1,40O.
The depOsitor then drew 500 and
a week later $500 more. He thus
took out twice as much as he ever
put in and still had $1,000 on de-
posit to his credit.
This sum was allowed to remain
and by November of 1911 it had be-
come $1,592. In June of 1912 the
account was finally closed and the
amount drawn was $1,624. The de
positor had put in only $500, but he
received it back and nearly 1900
more.
His money always was ready for
him. 1t could any day be paid In
full. 1t was at work for it's owner
day and night. month after month.
year upon year, and growing for
nearly two generations. Without
risk worth mentioning it had multi
piled itself over nine times. The
rate of increase at first was slow, but
in the end nothing grows much fas-
ter than interest compounded.
Another interesting case was that
of a real estate deal in New York
state recently which involved the sat
isfaction of a mortgage that had run
for 81 years without any payment eA>
cept for interest. The mortgage was
given for $1,000 in 1868. For thir-
ty-three years interest was paid at
the rate of seven per cent, and for
the past Is years the rate vas six
per cent. The total interest paid on
the mortgage was $3.50 and the
principal of $1,000 was still due.
Nearly three and a half times the
principal was paid and that too with
out reducing the original debt. The
moral is obvious. Save your money
and become a lender.
T. D. MACGREGOR.
