The Nevada Consolidated

The Financial World, published in Chicago and New
York, in the current number says it is interesting to go
ing company, whose property is located in the Ely district.
1t was originally d merger O. the White Pine Copper COM
pany and the Boston & Nevada Copper company. Then it
absorbed the Cumberland Ely, which was one of the earlier
successes of William b. Thompson later the SteptOe Valley
Smelling & Mining company disappeared as a separate
entity, the Nevada Northern Railway company doing like
wise, save that the latter has been retained on paper as a
matter of auditing convenience. After this process of alb
sorption had given Nevada Consolidated almost the entire
control of the camp of Ely a majority of its stock was Sc
cured for the Utah Copper company.
Part of the dividends earned by the Nevada CONSOLE
dated go, therefore, into actual circulation by a somewhat
intricate route, being paid first into the Utah Copper treas
ury, thence into that of the Guggenheim Exploration COM
pany, which is a very large holder of Utah, and being SO
paid out for a third time as a dividend, it is once more new
money made ready to be spent.
Nevada Consolidated was one of the first Of the steam
shovel mines and one of the original triumphs of D. c..
lacking, who has since been making history in the hand
ling of immense tonnages of low grade ores. The
question, which is of greatest Importance to the investor
at this time, when the copper market is abnOrmally strong,
is, primarily, that of cost, followed by the one of the life Of
the mine. 1t has never beer. feasible to block out or prove
all of the ores of the Nevada Consolidated in the same way
as has been done, for example, on the Chill Copper COM
pany. In that property some 3o3,OooOOO tons of ore were
proven by churn drills before any extraction was really be-
gun. On the Nevada Consolidated the work has been done
by the making of benches along the sides of the pits, :"
sO-called, and the ore proven by the drills has more than
kept pace with extraction.
The ore reserves six years ago were estimated at 49,
5000 tons IN round numbers, the same figures still hold
in spite Of The extraction which has been going forward.
1t has been necessary as a matter of course to strip a little
heavier over burden from time to time, and as the pits
dccpened the cost has slightly increased, but the fact re-
mains that Nevada Consolidated has, according to the fig
ures of Mr.. Pope Yeatman, the consulting engineer, as
much ore in its reserves as it was credited with five years
ago. If one were to make no allowance whatever for flu
ture development, the ores SO held in reserve would permit
of extraction, at the present rate of about 100000 tons
per annum, for more than fifteen years.

Seven Months Dividends

July proved an unusually good month to holders of
stock in American mines and works, according to reports
made to Mining and Engineering World. Disbursements
totaled $~S,6SS,0So and were participated in by %fifty-one
companies.
The effect of the continued high prices for copper is
beginning to be felt by the larger producers. as evidenced
by disbursements, and by the resumption Of dividend pay
ments by a number Of companies which discontinued pay
ments some time ago. The operators of zinc and lead
mines also have felt the influence of high prices and have
increased their declarations.
While total disbursements during the seven months
OF 1915 are considerably behind those during the same
period in 1914, there is every indication that the balance of
the year will witness such large increases over the returns
made in similar months in 1914 that the years total will be
much greater than in that year.
From reports made it is learned that 81 mines and
works have contributed $4S, 4o2,4o7 to stockholders dur
ing the seven months of 1915 ended with July. These
companies have totael disbursements to their credit
amounting to $oI0,o44,56I on their issued capital OF $50
.oo7,794~
Of the above companies, twenty-five operate copper
properties in the United States and they contributed to
the years total $2o,45O7S5 and a total to date of $453,773,-
Sixty-six of the above companies operate properties
classed as Observation-Disclosures producers and they dis
bursed during the seven months of 1915, SIoooo952, and
since incorporation, $2oI,4o5,I03, on an issued capital of
$23I,I44,Io4. Forty-seven of these properties are oper-
ated in the United States and they disbursed $751; ri, 562.
Since incorporation dividend declarations total $2I4ooI,-
o4o. Sixteen are Canadian properties and their disburse-
lnents in 1915 total $3,942 500, and to date $5o,2oSoS7,
Three are Mexican properties, with disbursements for the
seven months totaling $5o2,82I and with total disburse-
ments of $I7,2o6,o57.
Six metallurgical works disbursed SIS, 365,z6o during
the seven months period and since incorporation $I73o75,-
goo, and to date $I73,o75,36o.
Six securities holding corporations declared dividends
during the year totaGng $40, IoIyo4S, and since %incorpora-
ton $IS7,I33,767.

The Russian government recently placed an order in
this country for munitions of war that will require three
years to fill, which makes it quite apparent that the Slavs
have no intention of laying down their arms Just because
they were forced to evacuate the capital of Poland.

Switzerland is surely in a sorry plight. Surrounded
on all sides by belligerent countries, it has become practical
" necessary for the nation to cast her lot with the entente
allies or their enemies in order that the danger of starvation
ma. not becom eacute. The entente powers demand that
Switzerland cease exports to Germany, which, in turn, has
warned her that to do SO would be grossly unneutral."

Guards at the French pavilion at the San Francisco

Progress In Good Roads.

| Reporting on the progress of road
construction in South Carolina during
the past year Commissioner Watson
says in an article prepared for mag
azine:
"On the financial side of the mat

the grand totals Of revenues for road
purposes deprived rrcm the general
road tax, which vary according to the
counties, from all but nine counties,
and the grand total thus derived from
taxation is $SS3,O52.22 Estimating
the other nine countless, this would
mean that $1,000000 was spent in
this state for roads for the year 1915
I'm addition to the above, since
1910, in seven counties, read and
bridge bonds were voted to the extent
Of $249, 500, $238,000 of these bonds
having been sold. In three Of these
counties the bonds are 2O-year bonds
and in the others 40-year bonds. In
each Of the counties, with the excep
tion Of one, the rate of interest paid
on the bonds is 4 1-2 and per cent
In one county per cent. is paid on
an issue Of $4,000.

the county dispensaries under the act
Of the last general assembly providing
for the election which carried in favor
OF prohibition were rendered by
Thomas II. Peoples, attorney general.
Opinions Oh several points were ask.
ed for by Gov.s Manning and l.. T..
Bultman, state dispensary auditor
The attorney general gave the fol-
lowing opinion upon request of Gov.
Manning.
II am in receipt Of yours Of the
Bird instant, in whicn you ask:
First. Does the office of the
county dispensary board cease to exist
on December 81, 1915?
Second. If not can they receipt
dispensers for their stock and check
them out after January 1, 1916?
Third. Can they pay out any
funds on hand for any purpose after
January f., 1916?
Fourth. Can they pay any funds
on dividends due from profits after
January 1, 1916?
"In reply to these questions, will
say that section 4, Of the prohibition
act, acts Of 1915, page 80, provide
| that the authorities in every county
In this state now or hereafter vested
with the control of the dispensaries,
where dispensaries for the sale of al
/ coholic liquors are now operating un-
der existing laws, shall proceed to
wind up the affairs of such dispensa-
ries and shall close the same on or
before the 31st day Of December,
1915
"Section Of the same act provides
| that all acts or parts Of acts incon-
sistent with the provisions Of this act
be and the same are herby repealed"
II am Of the opinion that the office
Of county dispensary boards ceases to
exist on the 31st day Of december
1915, and such being the case, no
official acts performed by them af
ter that date would be legal. They are
directed, as is provided in section
above quoted, to wind up the affairs
Of the dispensaries on or before the
31st day Of December and, in my
opinion, they have no power or au
| time.
GAS will be seen from a casual
reading Of the prohibition act, the
act is very indefinite as to the man
ner and method Of finally winding up
the affairs Of these dispensaries, there
being no provision made for the dis
| tribution Of any stock that might
remain on hand after the 31st Of De-
| cember, or any Of the fixtures or
other property belonging to the va
rious county dispensaries, nor Is
there any provisions made in the act
| for continuance Of these officers
until the final disposition Of all Of the
various property and stocks belong
ing to the respective county dispensa-
ries. Such being the case, the only
thing that can be done, in my opinion,
will be for the dispensaries to be
closed on the 31st Of December, as
provided by the law, and if the af-
fairs Of the various dispensares can
not be finally wound up by that date,
that appropriate legislation be eancted
at the approaching session of the
general assembly, making proper pro
vision for the orderly winding up of
the dispensaries in business-like
| manner.
