SPRAGUE HEAD
OF JUMBO EX.
dividend OF SEVEN AND HALF
CENTS PER SHARE is
DECLARED
Special to News and Tribune.


PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19. =
The stockholders of the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company, at their an
nual meeting this afternoon, elected
officers as follows:
President, Charles S. Sprague;
vice president, j. X. Turner; secre-
tary and treasurer, Ben Gill; direc-
tors, the above named with A. l.
Darcy and Willard P. Ward.
A dividend of seven and hall
cents per share was declared, pay
able on September 1.
The election of Mr.. Sprague to
the Office of president from that OF
vice president, relieving Harry S
Schwaikert, is regarded as vote OF
confidence of the stockholders in Mr.
Sprague and recognition of his able
management of the affairs of the
company in the past. Mr.. Darcy
was chosen a director as represen-
tative of the stock obtained by the
Reorganized Booth Mining company
of Goldfield from the Jumbo Exten-
sion in the recent settlement of the
apex rights claims. The election OF
Mr.. Ward gives eastern holders oi
the stock a direct voice in the con
duct of the company's affairs.

ship remains to complete the ad-
justment of the internal controversy
that developed between the majority
interests of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company as a result of the
sale of the Velvet claim of the Jumbo
Extension. The "hatchet has been
buried" by the recent election of a
new board of directors and the set
tlement of all details of the dispute.
A special stockholders meeting is
to be held in Seattle, WASH, on Aug
ust 4. Prior to or at that session
the actual dismissal of the receiver
will take place. Encouraging re-
suits continue to be obtained in the
exploratory work being prosecuted
along and above the latite-shale
contact in the St. Ives claim of the
company by way of the SS foot raise

from the 1865 foot level of the

for the future of the district.
There is every reason to believe
that the coming of fall will witness
a greater revival of operations in
the district than even that follow
ing the splendid disclosures made by
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany at depth along and near the
famous latite-shale contact in the
Velvet claim last fall and winter.
With the condition of the entire
Jumbo Extension territory steadily
improving and daily shipments re-
naming steadily around 80 tons of
excellent shipping ore, supported by
an equally gratifying state of af-
fairs in numerous other properties,
public interest in the district can
not help increasing, especially in
view of the steady improvement in
general financial conditions. In
creased public interest means great
er activity, which, in turn, assures
more prosperity. Furthermore, by
fall the litigation which was directly
responsible for the setback the camp
received the early part of this year
will be entirely at an end, at
least all indications bear out this
conclusion.

Notwithstanding the lethargy of
the mining share markets through
out the country, which condition al
most invariably prevails at this sea-
SON of the year, Goldfield is enjoying

WORKING FORCE
IS INCREASED
SIMMERONE CROSSCUTTING TO
CATCH JUNCTION POINT OF
TWO LEDGES

With view to expediting opera
tions on company property and it's
lease on the northern end of the ad-
joining Blue Bull property, General
Superintendent F. A. Knickerbocker
of the New Goldfield Simmerone
Mining company recently increased
the working force from three men
working in one shift to six in two
shifts. Although operations at pres
ent are being confined to develop
ment work, the company has OBJ
tanned in the past from the various
veins exposed excellent assays and
there is every reason to believe that
the property will give a splendid acr
count of itself.
Superintendent KnickerbOcker is
giving particular attention to the ex-
tension of a southeast crOsscut on
the 1O0-foot level of the vertical
shaft, which was sunk to depth OF
$50 feet in the earl days of Gold
field It's objective point is juno
tion of the Blue Bull and Simmerone
lodges. Thus far the crosscut has
been advanced 125 feet and 1t is
calculated that approximately 100
feet more work will be required TO
reach the junction. Superintendent
Knickerbocker is confident that the
downward extension of the ricn
streak of ore recently opened up
against the footwall of the vein at
shallow depth in the incline will be
found at the junction of veins. II
that result is accomplished work will
also be prosecuted to catch the down.

LATERAL WORK
SOON TO BEGIN
GREAT BEND SHAFT Is CLEANED
OUT TO THE 4OO-FOOT
LEVEL

The Great Bend shaft has reached
the main crosscut on the 400 level
and the sump is being cleaned out.
The pump is taking care OF the wa
ter from the lateral by working less
than half time, and by the first or
the month the mine will be cleaned
and operations in the various Work
ings got under way. Dewaterlng
the property has been the greatest
pumping undertaking performed in
Goldfield The Great Bend work
began with a mine almost brim1ul
of water, and with some 5000 feet
of drifts, crosscuts and slopes to
draw from. The fact that the drain
ing has been accomplished in less
than ninety days is flattering to the
management. AS soon as the sump
is cleared the pump will be lowered
and then exploring will begin in the
crosscut.
The old development work was
mainly of substantial character,
performed with view to developing
the property on broad scale and
comparatively little stopping was
done. A large tonnage of medium
and low grade mill ore was left ex-
posed at various points, together
with some ore of shipping grade.
Above the 300-foot point all the ore
found was free milling and the deep
er work showed a marked increase
in the value of the ore at depth in
the sulphide zone. During the leas-
ing period no attention was paid the
deposits of mill ore, as these could
not be handled profitably, but rec
ords of the work show large ton
mage is available that could be han-
died profitably if treated locally, and
there is no DOUBT some of this ore
can be shipped at a profit.
The equipment of the Great Bend
main working shaft provided by the
new management represents an out
Law of $500. This comprises a
stout head frame of Oregon pine, one
15x9x12 Imperial type Ingersoll-
Rand 1892 six drill compressor, one
42-inch by 10-'eet air compressor, a
rs h. p. Westinghouse motor, fitted
with an 1S-inch driving wheel and a
Cameron pump with capacity of g.
600 gallons an hour. With pump
and bai!si going, flow of 100000
gallons per day can be handled.
A small mill, erected by leasers,
but now owned by the Great Bend,
adjoins the main shaft. This is the
only mill in the district outside the
Goldfeld Consolidated milling plant,
and one that with additional stamps
will prove valuable auxiliary. For
the time being it will be used in
sampling the ore from the various
workings, for which it is admirably
adapted, but later it will be enlarg-
ed to handle the mill grade ore
which exists in large quantities in
the property. The high grade will
be shipped direct to the smelter.

SIX CROPS WORTH SIP, $50, 62O
Figures Show Yields of the Fields Last
Year in Pennsylvania

And the farmer can always take
care of his own,'' goes the song so pop.
ular among Legislators from the rural
districts, and Judging from the reports
of the crops of last year, just made
public by the Bureau of Statistics of
the State Agricultural Depa rtment, the
song is all right. Six of the staple
crops were valued at 12,760,620.
These included wheat, corn, rye, oats,
buckwheat and potatoes, while the
State stood second as an apple grower.
The corn was the most valuable crop,
1,463,000 acres yielding 52,520,OOO
bushels, valued at s45,645, 500. Wheat
came next, 49, 1000 acres yielding,
24.2T2, 200 bushels, worth SIS, 5,000,-
100. Potatoes were third, 2S,40S,000
bushels taken from 26S, 900 acres being
valued at $17,612,960. The yield of
oats was S32,190,000 bushels from l..
075,000 acres and valued at S16,095,.
600. The buckwheat yield was $780,
600 bushels worth s4,256, 900. Rye
harvested amounted to 4,760,000 bush
els worth sS,950,S00.
Figures on value of land show that
improved land averages about SIS per
acre and unimproved land $50 per
acre, with fluctuations according to To-
cation. Farm wages average S235 per
year, with board, and $340 without
board.

BETRAYED INTO FIVE YEARS
over-Active Jail Sojourner in Luck Till
Prisoner Exposes Him

M. Woods sentenced Samuel Woomer
to five years in the Western peniten.
tiary on conviction of obtaining goods
under false pretense.
Woomer has spent half of his TWEEN.
ty-two years under prison restraint and
is still unable to be good. When
mere boy he was sent to an industrial
school in Lycoming county, from where
he was sentenced to the Reform school
at Huntingdon for one and to the East

last, when convicted of stealing BIZ
cycle, Sam pleaded hard for a chance
to make good, sentence was suspended.
His home was closed, however, and he
was permitted to remain around the
prison, as a matter of charity, without
restraint.
During this time he intercepted
letter addressed to fellow prisoner,
removed the money sent by an anxious
mother to obtain the liberty of her son,
and later stole articles of value from
the office of Sheriff T. S. VanZandt
and pawned them.
He used the references obtained as
"trusty" to purchase revolver, belt
and shells at local hardware store
and have them charged to the account
of the Sheriff. 1t was while awaiting
trial on this charge that he frisked the
pockets of fellow prisoner of So, de-
MED it, and when the goods could not
be found on him convinced the jury
that he was honest this once, but alas,
fellow prisoner WEIGHED and showed

When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious. as il dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap. and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces, You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. about tea
spoonful is all that is required, It
makes an abundance of rich. creamy
lather. cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking. bright, fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
