drill in the shaft cut the vein at
a vertical depth of 500 feet from

attained a depth of 800 feet below

MIR. Dyer, to lower the main shaft
another $50 feet, and the work
will be rushed ahead with all pos
sible speed. We know we have To-
Gated the ore zone of the Columbia

theory of many mining engineers
and biologists hat no paying ore
exists in that region, has thus been
dispcl, ID The shaft will be sunk

new discovery, and will arrive in
Goldfield during the next week or
ten days to make a personal examin-

concerning the future course Of de-
velopment that will be waged.
The first inkling that the peo-
pie of Goldfield had Of a discov-
cry being made on the Silver Pick,
was when the stock advanced on
the local exchange. Grandually
the price advanced from 81 to 81
cents, but a decline occurred on
Monday when it sold at "a cents.

1t was reported that DR.. Her
mann M. Biggs, New York state
commissioner of health, was going
to France to do sanitary work in
connection with the Rockefeller
Foundations inquiry into the spread
of tuberculosis among noncombat-
ants, but it is now known that he
went merely as an investigator.
Jerome D.. Greene, secretary of the
Foundation, issued this explana-
tory statement.
Referring to the publication in
the newspapers of the fact that DIR.
Hermann M. Biggs, state commits
sioner of health, was going to
France to study the tuberculosis
situation, It should be distinctly un-
derstood that DR.. Biggs has no.
been asked and does not intend 70
conduct sanitary operations in
France. That is a function which
necessarily devolves upon the
French agencies, both government
tai and civic, which have already
given a great deal of attention TO
this subject.
I'm any comprehensive plan for
combating the spread of tuberculo-
sis there will doubtless be large OPP
portunity for private benevolence,
and it is for the purpose of ascer-
tanning in what way outside help
can be made most welcome and
effective that DR.. Biggs is being
sent by the Rockefeller Founda-
ton"

ENGINEERS EXAMINE
BRISTOL COPPER MINE
UVADA COPPER COMPANY CON-
TEMPLATES TAKING OVER
PROPERTY

Jackson McChrystal, the we'll
known Utah mining operator, &C
companied by NJ. M. Johnson of Salt
Lake, and manager of the Uvada
Copper property at Bristol, arrived
in town last Friday and proceeded
to Bristol for the purpose of con-
Quoting an examination of the Bris-
toll mine and upon the result of his
investigation will depend the fate
of the deal pending for the sale of
the holdings of the Uvada Copper
company to a syndicate of Salt Lake
mining men.
Messrs. McChrystal and Johnson
we're accompanied by Joseph s.. Free
who has been engineering the deal.
The first payment on the pur-
chase price of the property, it is
understood has been deposited and
if the McChrystal report is favor
able, the money will be paid over
to F. G.. Richmond, the Salt Lake
machinery man, who is the owner
OF the Uvada.
1t is believed that the deal will
be consumated, as physical condi-
tons at the Bristol mine are said
never to have been quite as satIs-
factory as they are at the present
time. Recent developments on the
600-foot level have resulted in the
opening up of some splendid new
ore bodies which carry good values
in silver, lead and copper.
1na Uvada company is shipping
approximately so tons of ore per
day which runs 5 per cent copper,
16 ounces in silver and 8 per cent

ANTELOPE MILL
TO Be OPERATED
THOUSANDS OF TONS OF ORE
AVAILABLE FOR TREAT
MENT

The Antelope Springs mine, twen-
ty-five miles north of Inlay, is be-
ing operated under lease and bond
by H. A. Linke and w. H. O'Byrne
Of Salt Lake, under the firm name
of Linke-O'Byrne, Inc.
There is some ten thousand tons
of silver-lead-zinc ore blocked out
in the mine. the ore being in the
sulphide form. The average value
of the ore is about twenty ounces
silver. 20 per cent lead and 20
per cent zinc, with small percen-
tage of copper and a little gold.
The extremely cold weather has
made it impossible to operate the
r,ill on the property without care
full preparation AGAINST cold. These
preparations r now practically
completed and it is possible to run
the mill for six or seven hours
daily. AS the weather moderates
the running time will be increased.
The first shipments of lead and
of zinc concentrates will be made
IN the near future.
Mr.. Linke is a mining engineer
we'll known in Utah and Nevada
and Mr.. O'Byrne was formerly min
ing editor of the Salt Lake Tribune.

'STIMLER MINES
ARE NOW ACTIVE
NIVIOC MINES COMPANY NOW IN
EXCELLENT FINANCIAL
CONDITION

G.. w. Watson, superintendent of
the Nivioc Mines company, formerly
the Cottonwood Canyon Mines COM
Iany, at Stimler, IL miles SOUTH
west from Silver Peak, has spent
several days in Tonopah on bust
ness with Harry Stimler, who with
William H. Calvin, of Chicago, owns
control of the property.
Mr.. Watson is working a force
of men in what was formerly the
Wheeler & Watson ~leasehold, where
a body of high-grade ore was dis
covered a year ago.. The lessees
never succeeded in shipping, be-
cause litigation ensued and the pro-
perty was shut down.
All judgments against the conf
pany resulting from the litigation
have been paid off. They totaled
over $4,000. The company is now
out of debt, and has a good treas
urv. so that work can be carried on
extensively. M. c. Stimler has been
chosen general manager of the

ments and says that if depth shows
a continuation of values now expos
ed in the upper levels a mill will
be constructed.
In the Wheeler and Watson lease
the original discovery was made on
the 6O-foot level, but Mr.. Watson
has since cut the ledge on the 12e
and 165 levels, where the vein is
stronger and the values higher.
The Gold Grown group of six
claims and the Homestake claim,
containing the extension of the Niv-
ioc veins at Stimler, in Cottonwood
canyon, have been purchased from
Z. w. Watson and Robert Martin
by H. c.. Stimler, who acted as
representative of a coterie of New
York financiers. The purchase
price is not stated. Development
work will be vigorously prosecuted
from now on. = Lovelock Review

Humboldt Consolidated

John B. Newman, manager OF tEe
Humboldt Consolidated's La Toska
mine, left Lovelock this week for
the property, which is situated at
the head of Wright's canyon, to
superintend the work which is now
at a very important stage.
Late reports are to the effect that
in spite of the cold weather, con-
siderable work is being done, and
the men are continuing to cut
stringers of porphyry. and the black
lime dyke is beginning to take on
a different appearance, more soft,
and water streaked than before.
Values, which began to appear in
the tunnel as the work progressed
several weeks ago, began to grow
stronger, and late assays continue
to gradually increase as the tun-
mel nears the zone which has been
sought since the work was begun,

tact.
Geologically, the work in the

of much interest, as it has shown
many things about the Humboldt
range which were disputed points
before Among them is the show
ing that the black lime dixie, on
the other side of which lies the
porphyry zone, carrying the values,
extended to depth greater than the
biologists believed, and not only
maintains its width, but widened
out in marked degree.
This dyke, which is now being cut
thirteen hundred feet from the sur
face at the top of Indian Peak, is
now about to be cut through by
the tunnel which has been driven
in the Humboldt Range for more
than half a mile.
So far the theory of the engineers
who started the plan in the belief
that they could tap a huge ore body
at a depth of 1900 feet below the
surface discovery, is being worked

YELLOW PINE TO
PAY DIVIDENDS
THREE COMPANIES HOLD AN
NUAL MEETING AND ELECT
OFFICERS

The annual meetings of the Yel-
low Pine Mining company, the Boss
Gold Mining company and the Orc
Amigo Platino Mining company
were all held here in G~oodsprings
on Wednesday, January 18th.
It was a noticeable fact that at all
three meetings, the only stockhold-
ers present were the officers and
directors, the stockholders evidently
having such faith in the manage
ment of all three properties that
they did not anticipate that their
presence was necessary to suggest
any change in the policies of the
companies.
The Yellow Pine elected j. F.
Kent, president; DR.. r. B. Chap
man, vice-president; Fred A. Hale,
.Ir., secretary; G.. w. Kent, treasur-
er and S. E. Yount as an addition
al director. The board of directors
drew down $35 each for their ser
vices and this is the only salary
item on the books of the Yellow
Pine company 1t was voted to de-
clare specific dividends during the
year 1917 of three per cent month
ly, and that when the earnings of
the company warranted, extra divi-
dends would be declared to be paid
with the monthly dividends. This
action of the board will give the
Yellow Pine a permanent stability,
anu the only speculative feature on
nected with the administration of
the company's affairs will be the
amount of the extra dividends.
The Boss Gold Mining company
elected S. E. Yount, president; J.
F. Kent, vice-president; Fred A.
Hale, Jr., secretary and treasurer
and o. j. Fisk as general manager.
DR.. r. B. Chapman is the addition
al director. The directors of the
Boss only received $25 each for
their expenses, and this constitutes
the entire salary list of this mine.
The directors voted a dividend
of two cents to be paid on Febru-
airy 10th. Although the company
is under big expense in the building
of it's mill, its copper shipments
have been so good in the time that
the mill has been in course of cree
ton, that a dividend was declared
possible and leave a goodly sur
plus to assist in completion of the
mill. The weather has handicapped
the mill operations in the past three
weeks, it being impossible to pour
concrete in the freezing atmosphere.
The Orc Amigo, reelected all of
its officials. S. E. Yount, president;
George A. Fayle, vice-president; H.
K. Riddall, secretary and treasurer
and Fred A. Hale, Jr., and N. b.
Hunter as directors.
The Orc Anglo is now shipping
h~igh-grade copper ore with a gold,
platinum and palladium content.
It's workings are still in the high
grade ore, and a strike made this
week in which free gold shows up
on samples taken from its workings,
is an added asset to it's production.

Admits Burning
Sugar Records
Before u. S. Probe
Secretary of Federal Com
pany So Testi6cs in Suit
Against Spreckels

According to testimony given in the
Supreme Court by Abner II. Plat. Sec
rotary, assistant treasurer and d.
rector of the federal Sugar Refining
Company, he destroyed records Of the
company in 1911. shortly before Con-
gressional investigation OF the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company was
started. His Testimony was taken at
the request OF Claus A. Spreckels,
president Of the company, prior 10 the
trial of a suit against Mr.. Spreckels
and the company brought by John
Delahunty, a stockholde-. As a mem
Der of the ist Cavalry it was feared
that NJ. Plat might not be available
when the action was tried.
Mr.. Platt's father, Edward c. Plat,
is treasurer of jhe Postal Telegraph
Company 1t was through William W.
Cook, counsel for Clarence II. Mackay
and the Postal Telegraph Company.
that Abner II. Plat obtained his posi-
ton with the refining company. II was
on Mr.. Cooks advice, he testified, that
he burned minute books and stock
transfer books which were kept in
vault in Jersey City. He asserted that
Cook was responsible for the suit
against Spreckels in which Delahunty
seeks to set aside a contract between
the refining company and Smith &
Schipper, selling agents, and demands
an accounting of profits which he says
Spreckels received as member OF the
firm of Smith & Schipper.
Three years after the destruction OF
the books, Mr.. Plat said, Mr.. Cook
aroused in him "a feeling of oonsid-
cradle dislike and dstrust" by his
criticism of Mr.. Spreckels. On cross
examination Plat denied that his 10y
atty TO Spreckels was due 20 promises
of aid for his family IL he were called
70 active service. He admitted that
the refining company had paid no divi-
dends since 1918, saying that the earn
ings were needed for other purposes.
He refused to say whether the COM
pany had profted since the war began.
Mr.. Spreckels in his answer to the
suit said that his partnership in the
selling agency was not inim'cal TO the
interests of the refining company and
defended the propriety of the $4,000
salary he receives from the latter con-
Germ.
