BELMONT AGAIN
TO THE FRONT
MONITOR COMPANY IS BUILDING
MILL IN FAMOUS OLD
CAMP

Norman e. Smith, engineer in
charge of the construction Of the
new plant of the Monitor Belmont
Mining company at Belmont, in Nye
county, spent Monday in Goldfied
en- route to the southern end OF Nye
county to examine the property OF
the Pioneer Consolidated He says
the sacrifice sale price of silver Will
not alter the intention of the Moni-
tor to eonsummate plans for bring
ing old Belmont back to the produc-
ing column The power line con-
Meeting Belmont with Manhattan,
built at a cost of $4,000, is in OPP
Grafton, he said. A brick mill mas
been established to furnish build
ing material and the walls of the
new mill are going up rapidly
It is expected the mine and mill
will be in active operation by June
Is. The process will be simple and
efficient. A gyratory crusher oper-
ating in conjunction with a battery
of ten 16OO-pound stamps, similar
to those adopted by the Aurora Con-
solidated, is bedded in mortar. The
ore will be crushed to 60-mesh for
concentration. Short tube mills,
novelty in this section, ten feet long
by six feet in diameter, will be used.
A system of oil concentration, devils
ed by Mr.. Smith, and Deister tables
will be employed. Oil fiotation has
been successfully demonstrated in
Australia, where it has reached the
highest degree of perfection with
credit of 100000 tons annually.
In this country the most successful
application of oil flotation is at the
is mine in Ouray, Colo, where
the cost of milling is said to be only
IS cents per ton.
Engineer Smith estimates that
there is $4,000 tons of rock on top
of the ground at the Monitor Bel
mont which careful sampling shows
should run at the rate of $40 per
ton. The Monitor ores carry about
sixteen ounces silver and a fraction
in gold. In the mine twenty-five
faces of good ore have now been
developed. When Belmont was In
its prime, between 1864 and 1884,
and the price of silver ranged from
s1.29 to $1.35 per ounce, according
to the books of the old company,
the cost of treating ore was $4o
per ton.

.RUM0R FACTORY
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
DROP ON STRENGTH OF
REPORT

The rumor factory again became
exceedingly active Tuesday, and
in consequence the stock of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company,
which has been the object of a vio-
lent bear attack for more than three
weeks, took a further drop in price.
Like all previous reports put into
circulation by manipulators of the
stock, the latest rumor is apparent
ly without foundation. However, it
has had the desired effect.
simultaneously with the receipt OF
reduced quotations on Jumbo Ex-
tension Tuesday came tele-
gram from Thomas S. Robinson and
company, brokers of San Francisco,
reading as follows:
'Tt is reported that Merger stock
holders have served papers in a
suit against the Jumbo Extension
company and the Merger company
officers, charging fraud in the sale
of the Velvet claim by the latter
company to the former. 1t is stat
ed that President c. o. Whittemore
of the Merger company has been
served by wire in New York"
The falsity of the report is shown
by the following telegram received
at the local offices of the Charles s.
Sprague company from Mr.. Sprague,
vice president and general manager
of the Jumbo Extension, who is now
in New York City:
''The latest of the series of re-
ports designed to scare stockhold-
ers and depress the stock is that a
suit has been or is about to be In
stituted by Merger stockholders to
annul the sale of the Velvet claim
to the Jumbo Extension and that
service would be had by wire on
President Whittemore in New York.
This report, so far as 1 know, has
no foundation whatever. The Vel
vet was sold by the Velvet directors
and their action ratified by the stock
holders; in fact, the two factors who
own absolute control of Merger
stock-Clark and Wingfield-
tiated the deal. Mr.. Whittemore Is
