Jumbo Extension
Stockholders of the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining company are soon to be
made happy. Within the next two
weeks they-at least those of record
on August will receive checks for
the dividend of seven and one-half
cents share, declared by the direc-
tors following the annual meeting of
the company at Phoenix, Ariz., on
July 10. The attendant distribu-
tion of profits among stockholders
will amount to $116,250. This will
bring the total disbursements to
stockholders up to $33S,305.SO. rep
resenting the four dividends declared
by the company. The present man.
agement of the company is to be COM
plimented upon the fact that of the
four dividends three have been de-
clared during it's tenure of office,
which dates back about nineteen
months. Prior to that time but one
dividend was distributed, namely, on
July Is, 1911, out of the proceeds of
the sale of the Vinegarone fraction to
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company. These facts constitute a
signal tribute to the efficiency of the
present management which has
shown a marked disposition to dis
tribute profits of operations in a
measure consistent with sound bus
mess principles.
The excellent physical condition of
the mine is reflected by recently Is
sued official statements as to earn
ings. The net realization of June
operations amounted to $55, 5,S56.37,
while that for July. according to the
preliminary estimate of Vice Presi-
dent j. X. Turner, will total $50, 600.
These figures make it apparent, to
use the vernacular of the street, that
the Jumbo Extension is "some
mine.' All developments of late in
the property have been of charac-
ter tending to support that general
belief.

The Quigley Reduction company
recently organized by J. ID. Quigley
and composed largely of Los An

The new corporation recently OBJ

that place of the Bonnie Clare Min

ton to operating the properties and

corporation will treat custom ores
and engage in the mercantile bust,

Manager Quigley, who has been
identified with mining in the Bonnie
Clare section for about two years,

purchased from the Jumbo Extension
company the machinery installed by
1t during it's operation of the plant,
which is at present being remOdeled
throughout ad improved. Mr. Quig-
ley has purchased the railroad scales
formerly used at the old ChlOrinatiOn
works at Columbia and is installing
them at the Bonnie Clare plant for
use in weighing custom ores. A
force of workmen are now engaged
in grading about the mill so that ore
may be dumped into the main mill
bins from railroad cars, freight wa
gons or motor trucks.
1t is stated by Manager Quigley
that the new company has already
been guaranteed a daily tonnage in
excess of 100 tons daily by companies
and individuals operating properties
in the surrounding country, includ-
ing Tokop and Hornsilver, the latter
about 25 miles distant. Motor trucks
of five and six-ton capacity will be
used in hauling the ores from the
various properties to the mill. Mr..
Quigley has already perfected ar
rangements with a Los Angeles COM
pany whereby it will place four mo-
tor trucks in the service of transport
ing ores to the mill by Sept. 1st.
The capacity of the mill is 130 tons
per day, and Manager Quigley antici-
pates that it will be taxed almost
from the outset. He states that the
fleet of motor trucks will be increas-
as fast as needed, the company sup
plying them under contract to handle

ed to place ten such vehicles in the
service at once. Mr.. Quigley stated

DIVIDEND SOON
TO Be D|SBURSED
JUMBO EX. NINE Is SPLENDlDLN
MAINTAINING OUTPUT OF
ORE


With the payment OH September L
OF the recently declared dividend of
seven and half cents a share on the
outstanding stock, aggregating S116,-
$50. the Jumbo Extension Mining
company will have distributed
among its stockholders since its or
saniZation in 1904 a total of $685.
305.S0. Checks for the latest divi-
dend are now being prepared by Sec
retary Ben Gill and will be mailed
out during the next ten days to the
stockholders of record on August i,
together with copies of the annual
reports of President Charles 5.
Sprague and j. X. Turner, vice presi-
dent and consulting engineer.
The dividend about to be paid is
the fourth declared by the company
in it's entire history. The fact that
three of the four dividends will have
been paid within the last nineteen
months-or rather since the Sprague
interests came into the control of the
company's affairs-speaks volumes
for the present management and
ability of Consulting Engineer Tur-
ner. under whose direct supervision
the mine has been making such a
remarkable showing in the produc-
ton of ore in the period named. The
first dividend paid by the company,
amounting to $97, was dis
tributed July Is, 1911 and was made
possible through the sale of the
Vinegarone fraction to the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company.
The fact that dividend No. is
soon to be distributed as well as that
the net realization for June opera
tions amounted to 5,S56.37 and
that the preliminary estimate for
July recently issued places the net
profits for that month at $50, 900,
makes extended comment upon tho
present physical condition of the
mine unnecessary. The output re-
mains steady around so tons of ore

JOHN BALLAINE ON THE STAND EVIDENCE FOR DEFENDANTS BEGINS IN TOWNSHIP
 CAS- F..

John E. Ballaine took the stand for the defense at the opening of Court this morning in the townsite case. Dispositions were read Saturday af- ternoon on behalf of the defendants, but Mir. Ballaine is the first witness for the defense appearing on the stand at Seward,
 Mir. Ray conducted the direct ex- animation of the witness. He pro- duced letter from Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the Interior, to the wit ness, dated September 2lst, 1915, in which the secretary stated that the United States had no interest in the suit of the Alaska Northern Railroad against the Ballaines, and that no monies or advantage would come to the United States in the event of the Alaska Northern winning the said suit. Attorney West objected to this letter going in evidence, stating for his ground that in the contract for sale between the Alaska Northern Railroad and the United States for the road, the Alaska Northern speci- fically reserved the right to prosecute the present litigation for the benefit of the bondholders. Judge Brown said he understood that the right to commence this action had been re- served in the contract, but that the defendants might introduce the let ter in evidence, and over-ruled the objection. Mir. Ballaine was then re- ferred to the testimony of Mir. Dow dle, given in a deposition in Chicago
