EcHOS OF THE DEAD.

The writings of the patriots who fought and won
the revolutionary and contributed mainly to the
establishment of the United States of America are
being brought to present-day attention bv the
scholars and public who have taken upon them
selves the reading of memoirs, correspondence and
other data pertaining to the activities and views of
those who worked with Washington to free America
from British control The following is letter writ

The crosscut being driven by the
Goldfield Development company on
the 3S0-footh level of the Combina-
ton has been advanced $50 feet, or
one-half the distance to the 500
foot shaft that will be known as the
Development" shaft and at which
the main plant of machinery to be
operated by the company will be
placed for the hosting of ore from
the glory hole" The main drift
on the 3S0-foot level is being en-
larged and repaired and raises are
being driven from it, according to
A. I. Darcy, general manager of the
Development company. 1t was at
first planned to lay double tracks in
the drift and crosscut but this has
been decided to be unnecessary, as
an electric locomotive of sufficient
power to haul over 20 tons will be
used. 1t was also planned to drive
raises at 25-foot intervals, but in
vestfgation has proved that there
will be less blocking of the raises
through old timbers being drawn
with the ore than was estimated
when the big glory hole" scheme
was evolved. These changes in
plans will result in a large sum of
money being saved, with equally
good results.
The raises will be driven in solid
rock. The first half above the drift
will be vertical and the second in
clined. At the top of the vertical
part a chamber will be excavated. A
grizzly will be placed at the top
of the vertical raise and the ore, as
it comes through the inclined part,
will be raked onto the grizzly. The
incline raise will be driven large
enough for the timbers that will be
drawn with the ore to pass through
readily and sese will be lowered to
the mein haulageway through a
compartment in the vertical raise.

DECISION SOON
IN DIVIDE CASE
GROUND In DIVIDE DISTRICT Is
CLAIMED BY TWO
COMPANIES

(; "A decision is expected from Judge
Walsh in short time in the case of
the Tonopah Hasbrouck Extension
Mining company against the Silver
King Divide Mining company. The
claims of both companies are north
of the Tonopah Hasbrouck and in
the case is involved the title to
about four acres of ground in the
southwest corner of the Silver King
No. 1 claim of. the Silver King Di-
vide, on. which part of the Inde-
pendence No. 1 claim of the Has
brouck Extension is also located.
Gus Hansen, superintendent of
the Brougher, located the Silver
King claim on October 20, 1917, for
L. w. Franquelin of Tonopah, and
last September filed an amended To-
cation certificate to include a Sill
yer King ground a vein cropping
outside the southern sideline of the
claim.
Many questions of law are in
volved, including the right of Han
sen to change the lines of the Silver
King after the Independence loca-
ton had been made. The position
of location and other work is also
a question of Importance in the
case.
The independence No. l claim was
located on February 4, 1918, by Jo-
seph F. Ford, George Ford and B. j..
Byrne.
H. r. Cook of Tonopah repre-
sents the plaintiff. and Hugh Brown
of Tonopah represents the defend
ant.

SIMON-M|NA IS
new COMPANY
J. X. TURNER AND l.. Il. DELLIN-
GER IN STRONG NEW
ORGANIZATION

The Simon-Mina Mining company,
owning four full claims close to the
Simon silver-lead mine. has been
organized with j. K. Turner, presi-
dent; C. A. Calhoun, chief chemist
for the Tonopah Belmont, vice pres
ident; l.. l.. Dellinger. second vice.
president, and Branch H. Smith,
secretary and treasurer. C. c. Boak
of Tonopah and r. E. Smith are
directors. II. H. Atkinson of Tono-
pah is counsel for the company. The
connection of these men with the
Simon Nina make it one of the
strongest organizations formed in
the new district.
The company is Incorporated for
100000 shares of a par value OF
10 cents per share An initial issue
of 100, 900 shares is being sold at l .
cents and the secretary-treasurer is
now in San Francisco arranging for
listing the stock on the San Fran
cisco exchange. truck has been
ordered for hauling supplies to the
mine from Nina and on arrival work
will be started. 1t is expected shaft
sinking will be under way within 10
days. A complete plant of mine
machinery has also been ordered.

of account were delivered and it is
therefore presumed that none was
ever kept or that they had been lost
or destroyed prior to the purchase of
that time We have endeavored to
keep books of account as a refer
ence to the reports attached hereto
will indicate. 1t does appear, how
ever, from the data available that
bullion of a value of $4,000 was
produced from the year 1906 to the
year 1917, and Investigations indi-
cate that very considerable part
of this sum was spent in litigation
and for the development of the
property.
Early In 1917 new board of di-
rectors was elected. At that time
the company had a mine with some
ore in sight but no mill or water.
Arrangements were thereupon made
with the Round Mountain Mining
company for a transfer of the Daisy
group to the Fairview company.
The Daisy group consisted of four
lode claims adjoining the Fairview
claim. Upon this property was a
steam driven six stamp Merrill mill
complete with rock breaker, rolls
and amalgamation plates. For all
of the above there were issued to the
Round Mountain Mining company
100000 shares of the treasury stock
Of the Fairview company. Upon
taking over the mill the motive
power was changed from steam to
electricity, large compressor in
stalled, together with necessary
equipment for properly carrying on
mining operations.
An adit was started for the pur-
pose of handling ore direct to the

DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
WORKING ON BIG PLANS

The hosting plant formerly used
at the Mohawk has been moved to
the Development shaft and erected
there. Grading is being done at this
shaft for ore bins and in prepara-
tion for moving 900 feet of railroad
track short distance so that it will
be directly under the bins and par
allel to them.
From 10000 to 100000 tons of
ore assaying from sc to 81 is ready
to be mined in the Red Top, in ad-
dition to the 100000 tons in the
Combination. The Red Top ore will
be mined by the shrinkage system
and hoisted frorl the first level of
the Laguna shaft.
The orebody in the Mohawk will
be turned over to lessees for the
present, rs there the vein has a
flatter dip than in the Combination
or Red Top. The Development COM
pany officials realize the great pos
sibilities for mining in the Mohawk,
but owing to the dip of the vein and
the consequent necessity for work
ing from a number of levels the
work would be too expensive to un-
dertake now.
F.. Dean Bradley, one of the most
widely known millmen in the coun-
try, is inspecting the big mill before
recommending the alterations that
will be necessary to treat the low
grade ore.
That the company is awake in
other departments while preparing
the mines for GLORY holing" is
shown by the production statement
for April, which gives the output for
that month as 922 tons of gross
value of $33,906.95, or an average
value per ton of vo~..7. This pro-
duction came from all mines and
from both company and lease work
ings.

Following are the reports for the
year ending December 81, 1918 OF
L. d. Gordon, president and gen.
eral manager, and Gibson Berry,
general superintendent for the
Fairview Round Mountain Mines
company.
In his report the president and
general manager says:
In the year 1906 the Fairview
Round Mountain Mines company
was organized to take over the Fair
view claim in the Round Mountain
mining district, Nye county, Ne
vada
From the meagre and incomplete
data concerning the operations of
the company prior to the year 1917
it appears that some $4,000 shares
of treasury stock were sold at vary
ing prices and the money received
from the sale of this stock used by
the company for the development
and equipment of the property.
Shortly after the organization OF
the company an adit was driven for
the purpose of intersecting what is
known as the Fairview vein. This
work resulted in the opening of an
ore body and mill was thereupon
erected near Shoshone creek distant
about a mile from the mine. This
mill was steam driven and consisted
OF a rock breaker, one five-foot
Huntington mill and the necessary
a:nalgamation plate.
In the latter part of the year
1916 ! purchased the stock of Mr..
r. B. Wampler and Mrs. H. j. Nc

company. The stock book, stock

At a meeting of ESQ representa-
tive citizens of the Tonopah and Di-
vide districts, held in Tonopah on
Thursday night, a temporary COM
mittee was formed for the 'organiza-
tion of a Tonopah-Divide chamber
of commerce, to secure publicity for
Tonopah, Divide and nearby mining
towns.
The meeting was addressed by
Milton NJ Detch, temporary chair
man; Hugh H. Brown, chairman;
w. C. Ralston of San Francisco; f..
H. McMurray and others interested
in the future of mining in Tonopah
and Divide. 1t was suggested by the
chairman of the meeting that an
organization be formed with chair
man, secretary and a board of di-
rectors with five members, the en-
tire organization to work under the
supervision of council of IL. This
plan was accepted by the meeting.
The formation of a chamber OF
commerce for Divide is generally
considered the best thing for the
dibtrict that could occur, as 1t will
result in proper publicity being
given the mines and meritorious
prospects and prevent a repetition
of the few incidents not approved
by the substantial interests that al
ready have occurred in connection

ORE AGAIN BEING HOISTED
THROUGH FLORENCE SHAFT

Hosting of ore from the Florence
was resumed at noon Saturday for
the first time shince the transformer
house was burned on May "a. Two
of the three transformers in use at
the time of the fire were badly dam
aged and one was destroyed. The
two that were not beyond repair
were put in condition to operate
the mine plant at full capacity by
]. p. Matthews and these will serve
until three new ones have been re-
ceiped. These are now en- route to
Goldfield from Seattle. The skill of
Matthews was all that saved the
plant from long shutdown and in
placing the two transformers in po-
sition he constructed the first out
door station in the district, putting
the transformers on rack, without
protection.

mine where work had been aban-
doned years ago by the company and
in places where it is highly prob
lematical If any profit could have
been won from operations on COM
pany account. Our entire surface
area was intensely prospected and
what appears to be an entirely new
and important shoot of ore uncov-
cred upon the Saddle Back claim.
The details of these lode lease Oper-
ationst are covered in the report of
Mr.. Berry and in the various tables
attached thereto.
With a return to normal condi-
tions it seems desirable to greatly
curtail lease operations and to re-
sumo lode mining upon company ac-
count. 1t is my opinion that these
operations can soon be resumed up
on a profitable basis.
Mention is also made in the last
report of a transaction whereby the
Round Mountain Mining company
transferred to the Fairview Round
Mountain Mines company the lode
rights of the Daisy company, the i'm
provements and personal property
owned by that company and suffi-
cient water for mill. in considera-
ton of 100000 shares of the capital
stock of the Fairview company. AS
a result of this the Round Mountain
Mining company has received in div
idends the sum of $4,000 and it is
safe to predict that this ownership
of stock in the Fairview company
will prove a considerable source Of
revenue to the Round Mountain Min
ing company.
Our placer situation remains bas-
icaIly sound but the 1918 placer
season was very disappointing due
