The cast steel journal boxes are of a

The motors are series wound, totally en­
closed and of the familiar automobile type.
They are designed especially to operate
from batteries and have characteristics
that effect the maximum possible economy
in the use of battery current. They have
high efficiency, large overload capacity and
operate with practically sparkless commu­
tation. High efficiencY is obtained by de­
Signing them with a small air 'gap and
running the iron at low densities. By rea­
son of the latter provision, the speed and
torque characteristics are steeper than in
the ordinary series motor. thereby tending
to limit the overload which can be thrown
on the batteries_
The armature shaft rotates in ball bear­
ings. Friction losses are therefore very
slight and the bearing wear is practically
nil. Although compactly designed, the
motors are nevertheless readily accessible
for inspection and repair. Of the enclosed
type, they are dust and moisture proof.
One motor is mounted on each axle in 'a
cast steel suspension cradle, one side be­

tice.

and due to the large gear ratio from arm­

tive efforts are obtained at comparatively
small current inputs to the motors.

NEW COMPANY FOR LYNN CAMP.
A new company has been incorporated
to work the old Blue 'Wing mine, which is
two miles westerly from the Big Six prop­
erties in the Lynn mining district of Ne­
vada_ The company is to be known as the
Danley-Lloyd Mining company. and all the
officers and directors are Salt Lakers. There
are 1.000,000 shares of a par value of five
cents, half of which will be retained in the
treasury. The officers are George W. Dan­
ley, president and treasurer; John 'r. Lloyd,
vice-president. and Elizabeth Beveridge; sec­
retary. Directors include the president and
vice-president and D. O. 'Villey, George Mor­
row and Anna E. Philips.
The company owns seven claims, known
as the Bullion Nos. 1 to 7. which were orig­
inally located in 1874. The values are lead­
silver with a little gold. A crosscut tunnel
on Bullion No. 1 is in about 150 feet and
shows considerable low-grade ore. An in­
cline 100 feet deep shows ore at 70 feet.
one and one-half feet wide running 54 per
cent lead, 19.6 ounces silver and 0.02 ounces
gold. About 2,000 feet distant on the Bul­
lion No.7. picked assays of material three
feet below the surface went 73 per cent
lead, 33.8 ounces silver and 0.18 ounces
gold. The average here is about 28.2 per
cent lead, 14.3 ounces silver and 0.10 ounces
in gold. The vein is about two feet wide
as well as can be determfned.
Work will be immediately begun at this
point and in the incline and the company ex­
pects to put four or five men on at once.
There are one or two cars of ore on the
dump, which careful sampling has shown
to run 21.2 per cent lead, 10 ~ 3 ounces sl!Ver
°
and 06 ounces gold. A good many thou­
sands of dollars worth of ore was shippea
from the property years ago.
The property is sixteen miles from the
station of Dunphy on the Western Pacific
and the grade is in favor of the load and
the road is in good condition.
This section has received considerable
prominence of late because of rich gold dis­
coveries on the Big Six some two miles dis­
tant. which is owned by the Free & Wire
Gold company. of Salt Lake, and of which
'rom Morrow is in charge. It is reported
that some large Nevada interests have taken
options on some of the neighboring prop­
erties.
Springville, Utah, people recently made a
strike on the property of the Golden Rule
Mining & Milling company, another Utah
controlled property. adjoining the Big Six.
That Lynn may attain prominence as a
lead-silver camp is among the possibilities.

GOLDFIELD ACTIVITIES.
Properties of the District Pusuing De­
velopment Rapidly.
The Florence Goldfield Mining com­
pany, of Goldfield. Nevada, is having a
thorough. examination and sampling of its
mine made by Walter H. Wiley_ Upon his
report will depend the future activities ot
the property, and the decision as to 1:.C­
quiring milling facilities.
The Main shaft of the Oro is being en­
larged. and new hoisting equipment will be
installed to provide for sinking to the
1,000-foot level. The company will do
some development work on the 200-foot
level where it is expected that some show­
ing will be found. corresponding to fhe
recent discoveries in the adjoining Laguna
ground.
A large tonnage of excellent mill ore
has been blocked out in the ground of the
Jumbo Extension Milling company, a large
tonnage at present coming from above the
80Q-foot leveL The mill under lease to the
company is treating 2,000 tons monthly,
using concentration as the means of re­
covery. and results are said to be satis­
factory.
The main shaft of the Merger is heing
driven as rapidly as possible to reach the
1,750-foot level and is.now well below the
1,500. At the 1.750, a crosscut will be
driven to the boundary of the Atlanta, the
latter company will then use it for open­
ing up its territory.
The Silver Pick Consolidated now con­
templates sinking the main shaft to a
depth of 1,000 feet, and the exploration of
its property on the lower levels. The com­
pany has the extension of veins which
have been productive on other .properties,
although it has produced no ore itself.
The ~Boothproperty, on Columbia moun­
tain, has been equipped with a large elec­
tric hoist, new headframe and drills. Man­
ager K. M. Simpson believes that commer­
cial ore may be found at depth.
As soon as the shaft of the Blue Bell
reaches the 700-foot level, development wili
be hegun, not only on Blue Bell ground,
but on part of the ground of the C O. D.
Con, which the company· has leased for 2­
long period.
The Nevada-Eagle company has shipped
seven Or eight cars of ore to the sampling
plant. It is situated about four miles
from town. The grade of ore is excellent,
silver predominating over gold.
J. K. Turner 'has just completed a study
Of the C O. D. workings, and from pres­
ent indications the property wilJ soon pro­
duce a large tonnage of millIng ore. The

this mine occur in irregular masses, als!)
that a large portion of the tonnage is being
mined from the old caved lease workings,
it has always been considered impossIble
to accurately estimate the ore reserves.
The present exposures, however, justify an
estimate of ore of good grade in reserve
amounting to 300 000 tons, with an addition·
al large tonnage of low grade ore that can
be mined and milled at a profit.
"While a great deal of development work
has been performed on the upper levels,
there are quite a number of large blocks
within the ore ZOlle that have not bElen ex·
ploited, and the possibilities of finding new
ore bodies in this territory are very good.
Between the 1,000-foot level and the
1,400-foot level, development work has' teen
carried on rather slowly on account of the
high temperature, large flows of water, and
the limited capacity of the hoisting equip­
ment. A new hoist, however, will be in
operation by the 1st of March, after which
time development work on these levels will
be prosecuted more vigorously. To enable
us to more thoroughly prospect this area
and the territory below the 1,400-foot level,
we have purchased a diamond drill with a
capacity of 3000 feet and will begin drilling
within a very short time. Later on, this ma­
chine will be used to cut up undeveloped
blocks on the upper levels.
The mill superintendent says:
."The construction of the plant for roast­
ing and re·cyaniding the tailing from the
raw concentrate treatment plant, which was
undertaken in September of 1911, was com­
pleted in February of 1912, and the plant
has been in continuous service since that
date. Its operation has eliminated the mark­
eting of concentrate and increased the net
profit from the milling operations approxi­
mately 50 cents per ton of ore milled. It
is expected that during the ensuing year
the entire accumulation of concentrate on
the' dump will be re-treated.
"The entire milling plant is in splendid
condition and there will be no expensive
construction or repair work undertaken duro
ing the year. It will be necessary to renew
all the cloths in the vacuum filter plant;
these have now been in continuous service
for four years and cannot be repaired to
advantage. This work will not interfere
with the tonnage milled, and it is rea&on­
able to expect the plant to perform on much
the same basis as for the past fiscal year,
during which the stamps dropped 95.22 per
cent of the total time, and averaged 9.44
, tons per stamp per day of 24--hours (elapsed
time) ,

(Special Correspondence.)
Tonopah, Nev., March 24.-Underground
conditions at the Belmont show little change
but the mill is increasing its tonnage, which
compensates in part for the reduced reo
turns due to the fall in the price of silver.
The tonnage and bulion shipments for Feb­
ruary were as follows: Number dry tons
milled, 11,960; net value of ore, $223,015.23;
number ounces gold bullion produced, 2,
789.938; number ounces silver bullion pro­
duced, 284,910.71; net profit for }<'ebruary.
$130,147.11.
The Tonopah Extension has cut new ore
on the fifth level, and developments on t:he
400 are bringing satisfactory results.
The MacNamara is reported as opening
new ore bodies on the levels about the 300,
of good width and milling grade.
The Jim Butler has cut the vein in the
south crosscut on the seventh level. The
width has not been determined. The (om·
pany produced 1,887 tons of ore in Febru·
ary, which yielded a nl:t profit of $20,393.
The Montana-Tonopah is gradually in·
creasing the tonnage of its mill and now
treats well over 1,200 tons weekly. Several
stopes show improvements and underground
conditions are satisfactory.
At the meeting of the Tonopah Milling,
held in Philadelphia on the 13th, the usual
dividend of twenty·five per cent and an ex·
tra of fifteen per cent was declared. There
will be distributed $400.000, payable April
21. The total dividends paid by the com­
pany amount to $10,450,000, The net profits
for February shows a decrease due to the
short month and low price of silver. Im­
provement is noted in the Silver Top and
Red Plume workings. The mill treated 3,400
tons of ore during the first week of tbe
month. The February statement follows:
Number dry tons milled, 13,921; average
value per ton, $15.94; ounces gold and silo
ver bullion shipped, 208.400; total value of
bullion, $164,750; number tons concentrates
shipped, 102; total value of concentrates,
$35,325; net profit for February, $95,407.

ELY CON HAS NEW MINE.
S. M. Levy, president of the Ely Con·
solidated minin-g company, which has been
operated at Ruth, Nevada, has sent out
the following letter to stockholders, which
explains itself
Recently there was brought to us for
consideration th€- Copper Queen group of
eighteen lode claims situated in the Mer-­
rimae mining district, Elk county, Nevada,
about twenty·two miles northwesterly from
Elko, Nevada, situated on both the West·
ern Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads.
After an investigation of the merits of
this property, the proposition was submit­
ted to some of the largest stockiholders,
all of whom recommended that an option
to purchase. with a right to work and de­
velop the property, be entered into. We
have accordingly taken an option to pur·
chase these eighteen claims for a total 'pur­
chase of $50.000 in installments as follows:
Twenty·five hundred <lollars cash, whicb
was paid March 3, 1913; $2,500 to be paid
April 1. 1913; $2,500 to be paid May 15.
1913; $5,000 to be paid July 1, 1913; $18.750
to be 'paid January L 1914, and $18,750 to
be paid July I, 1914. The making of any
of these payments is optional with us.
There is a royality of fifteen per cent
of the net returns of any ore shipped, to
be paid to the owner of the property. but
to apply on the purchase price. The In­
vesti:gation of tbe property showed that
there is sufficient ore on the dumps and
exposed to return at least the amount that
will be necessary to advance for the first
three payments. This is based on the
present settllng price of copper and silver.
these being the principal metals contained
in the ore.
There is on tbis property a surface ex­
posure of iron, containing a small percent­
age of copper, about 600 feet long by 500
feet wide This is a very heavy iron. ox·
idized, and containing from 40 per cent to
above 50 per cent in this metaL In ad­
dition to this deposit there are at least
two veins showing strong outcrops of
iron and copper, one of which is readily
traceable through the property for nearly
a mile. These exposures of ore are con·
sidered by authorities wbo have inspected
the same, as an indication of extensive
copper deposits at depth. I will not go
into detail regarding the exposures of
llayable copper ore, but from recent ship·
 THE SAL T
ments made and confirmed by our sam­
pling of the ore exposed, the shipping ore
contains about 8.4 per cent copper, 8 ounces
silver, 26 per cent iron and 35 per cent
silica. This is a very desirable smelting
ore and will pay a good profit.
In taking over this property on the
very favorable conditions given, we are
in position to thoroughly explore the ore
bodies before making the additional pay­
ments other than tllose for which we have
ore in sight. Therefore, before these pay­
ments are made, it is our purpose to have
ore in sight more than necessary to cover
the amount of same.
Work is already under way at this
property, shipments of ore will be com­
menced at once, and energetic development
will be pushed.
On account of our inability to get sat­
isfactory .ailroad rates on ore from Ely
to the Salt Lake valley smelteries, it was
considered inadvisable to continue the de­
velopment of the ore bodies on our prop­
erty in that district, as under existing
conditions the ores we have exposed are
of too low grade to be marketed at a sat­
isfactory profit. Arrangements have been
made with a neighboring company to keep
our mine unwatered for the use of the
water. We are, therefore, in a position
to resume operations without any delay or
expense as soon as transportation rates
and metal market conditions are satisfac­
tory.
Your board of directors and also the
stcokholders who are familiar with the
circumstances and the merits of the Cop­
per Queen group, believe we have ac­
quired a very valuable asset in this prop­
erty. Negotiations are pending for the
acquisition of an option to purchase ad­
jOining territory, which it is our purpose
to ultimately acquire if the development
of this group justifies our expectations.
Assessment No_ 6, which was levied
November 13, has been coming in a very
satisfactory manner, and the company is
in good financial condition. The expen­
ditures in the future will not be as great
as in the past, and we will be able to do
much more work for less money, as this
flew property is drY,and therefore the
high expenditure for pumping water will
bc eliminated

HOME RUN DEVELOPING MORE ORE.
The Home Run Copper company, operat­
ing in the Day-Bristol district of Nevada, is
developing good bodies of copper ore_ The
incline struck ore at forty feet and contin­
ued in ore for about 200 feet. At the 225
foot point a station was cut and drifts sent
out. These drifts have followed ore for a
little distance. In order to mine on a larger
scale and secure equipment for deeper work
to properly open up the deposit the com­
Ihe pany will have to do some financing.

LION HILL CONSOLIDATED MINES.
Development at This Utah Mine Progress­
ing and Ore Being Shipped.
George St. Clair, manager of the Lion
Hill Consolidated Mines, operating at Ophir,
Utah, has submittfld a report of operations
up to February 10, since his last report was
submitted. One hundred and seventy-two
feet of 'development work was done. The
report says in part:
"Outside of four days interruption, on
account of accident to air power, at the
Chloride Point part of the property and a
few days laying off of the force at the -Rosa
on account of bad weather conditions. good
progress was made in the development at
the various points under operation_
,"The main Monogram drift was advanced
durin-g the month a di'stance of 68 feel..
The material that the drift passed through,
and its present face is a soft decomposed
lime, all of which was more or less in a
broken condition, due to the drift encount­
ering numerous north and south fis'sures.
Some of the fissures contain a filling of
ore bearing matter while others are quite
open, allowing the admission of air, and
this assists in the ventilation of the tun­
nel.
"Since discovering good values in the
Gladstone fissure (named in last report,
"Big Quartz fis.sure") I have confined all
the Chloride Point operating force to de­
veloping this section and discontinued ad­
vancing the main Monogram drift for the
present.
"The south drift on the Gladstone fis­
sure, was advanced a distance of 25 feet,
with cross-cuts therefrom, both to the
hanging and footwall sides_ This was
driven for the purpose of following a rich
stringer of copper-stained ore whiCk
showed in that part of the fissure to the
south These rich mringers above noted
dipped almost vertically and in conformity
with the fissure, so we declded to sink on
other streaks to some depth in the north
drift, discontinuing the work at the south
drift. The cross-cuts from the end of this
drift expose a mass of mineralized vein
filling, eighteen feet in width, across the
fissure.
"As -stated in the last report, the main
Monogram drift had encountered the Glad­
stone fissure, and in advancing the maih
drift through the ore bearing material of
this fissure, a number of rich stringers of
copper-staincd ore were exposed. While
some work was done in following these
stringers to the south on the fissure from
the main drift, no attempt was made -to
folloW the rich stringers the fissure ex­
posed from the main drift running to the
south. During the latter part of the month,
I decided to drive a north drift, foIlowing
these exposed rich stringers in the fissure.
IliA? l.tXSP ' S '1II1iIEi'
30, 1913, 23
In driving this drift, theSe stringers im­
proved in ,size for a distance of ten feet,
then the ore disappeared entirely, but the
particular material the stringers of rich
ore are associated with, continued to im­
prove in siz~ and run ahead. After driving
a few feet ahead on the ore bearing rna­
trial, a 2x4 ore chute opened up, from which
nine samples were taken, yielding, without
sorting, an average of 35 ounces silver,
and containing $1.00 to $2.50 gold. Sev­
eral samples taken from specimens of
horn silver ore, in this chute, ass',iyed 590,
2,170 and 3,451 ounces silver.
"The material surrounding the ore is
composed of highly mineralized silicified
lime and iron-stained talc, all of w:lich is
very much mixed wtih barytes ('r heavy
spar. Have advanced this north drift a
distance of 44 feet. While the ore is n"i
as large in the face of the drift, copper­
stained ore continues to run ahead
"Where the ore first opened up in thi3
drift, it was of horn silver character. and
it continues to gO down in conformity with
the dip of the fissure. The same ore
streak being exposed in the bottom of the
drift from the point that it opened up to
the present face. Twenty-five sacks were
taken out at one point which assayed 108
ounces silver Am following down with a
winze at this place.
"Gladstone raise. Where the main
drift passes through the fis'sure opposite
the south drift, I have located the partic­
ular strata of porphyry that overlays the
ore zone lime. Am driving this raise in
conformity with the dip of the IJOrphyry,
with a view of locating the continuation
of the stringers that extend UJl, to see if
the ore bearing material that the fissure
contains will break off in to a bedding
again. The same work applies to sinking
the winze, or shaft, on the continuation
of the stringers to a place where the ore
bearing material should break in like
manner.
"The Rosa west drift winze was sunk
a distance of 22 feet during the month,
making a total distance below the drift­
level of 47 feet. The material that the
winze passed through was composed of
silicified lime, spar and talc, with occa­
sionalbunches of good ore throughout.
However. as the winze is being sunk by
hand, the progress is slow, and having gone
as deep as practicable have started crOS8­
cutting -from the bottom to cut other paral­
lel fissures with the one that the winze
was sunk on -Have taken some good ship­
ping ore that contains silver. lea:!, copper
and gold values from this spot. ~o de­
velopment was done at any of the other
places in the Rosa vein where the down­
ward continuation of the ore was s'nown.
"During the month, fifty tOilS of ore
were shipped to the American Smelting &
Refining plant."

REPORT OF THE DALY JUDGE.
Company Has Paid Substantial Dividends
. and Acquired New Ground.
H. G. McMillan, general manager of the
Daly West Mining company. ~perating at
Park City. Utah, has submitted the annual
report of the company for the year 1912.
He says:
"The reports of the mine superintendent
and the mill superintendent, herewith at­
tached, making the full report of the opera­
tion of the company's property during the
year 1912, shows that 7,131 feet of explora­
tory work, consisting of drifts, winzes and
raises, was accomplished during the .year:
This development has brought about fruitful
results in opening up ore bodies in new ter­
ritory, notably on the 1,700-foot level west,
where an ore body is developed over 100
feet along the drift and extending upward
in a raise for 125 feet, the full width of the
opening, and continuing downward to un·
known depth. This is apparently all mill·
ing ore of average values. This body of ore
assures a large tonnage for future milling
operations.
"The 1,900, 2,000 and 2,100-foot levels,
considering the small amount of develop·
ment work done in the vein or contact, have
responded with a tonnage which warrants
expectation of important ore bodies in that
part of the mine. The other levels of the
mine below the 1,200 have considerable
ore bodies and furnish the larger tonnage
for the mill at present.
"Development on the 900·foot level has
been long contemplated but inexpedient to
prosecute until this year. All indications
confirm the wisdom of incurring this ex·
pense, and the prediction that ore found 011
this contact will be of good grade and quan­
tity likely. The company has other large
areas within its territory, lying above the
lower levelS, which, in the opinion of the
management, will repay expense of exploi·
tation, which will be opened up from time
to time as convenience to do so arises.
"It will be noticed by reason of failure
of our water supply, being frozen part of
January to M;ay inclusive, our mill was oper·
ated only 201% eight·hour shifts during the
year, thereby losing over one·third of our
mill product, which,' fortunately, was fully
made up by the discovery of crude ore of
profitable shipping value.
"The report of the treasurer shows the
payment of dividends numbers 57 to GO in·
clusive,. aggregating the sum of $216,000
-during t he year, also a balance of cash at
the close of the year of $109,868.78. The
expenditure of $117,734.28 appearing in the
report was for additional possessions ac·
quired for the company, which, in the opin·
ion of the board of directors and manage·
ment, will be profitable to the company and
stockholders, which expenditure made it nec­
essary to curtail the two last dividends to

fifteen cents each in order to maintain our
usual safe reserVe in the treasury.
"Summing up mine conditions as appear
from the reports submitted and manifest
physical appearances, the only reasonable
conclusion that can be formed is that prom·
ise of a large future production exists In
the property of the company, and with im·
proved methods in mining and reduction of
ores which are being employed, when proven
successful, should inspire stockholders with
confidence as to the probable value of the
property.
Under ore statement appear the following
details:
Crude ore sold, 17,497 dry tons, contain·
ing 552,692 pounds of copper, 6,151,286
pounds of lead, 569.33 ounces gold and 756,·
602 ounces silver, sold for $303,230.35.
Concentrates sold 7,245 dry tons, cop.·
taining 159,002 pounds of copper, 4,468,418
pounds of lead, 259.11 ounces gold and 249,·
614 ounces silver, sold for $252,557.67.
Zinc concentrates sold, 1;465 dry tons,
containing 1,004,554 pounds of zinc, 182,209
pounds of lead and 30,211 ounces silver, sell­
ing for $32,172.88.
Total value of the year's production,
$587,960.90.
The crude ore for 1912 averaged 43.24
ounces silver; 0.0325 ounces ounces gold,
17.58 per cent lead and 1. 38 per cent cop­
per. The concentrates averaged 34.84 per
cent lead, 1.1 per cent copper, 34.45 ounces
silver, and 0.0358 ounces gold. The zinc
concentrates averaged 20.62 ounces silver,
6.22 per cent lead and 34.29 per cent zinc.
The statement of receipts shows cash on
hand January' I, 1912, as $310,389.24: ore
sales, $587,960.90; miscellaneous recelpts,
$1,021.01; increase in stock, $14,924.61; to·
tal, $914,295.76.
Disbursements include for mine operat·
ing, $338,166.44; operating mill, $59,361.16;

erty purchase, $117,734.28; bills receivable,
$16,593.63; cash on hand January I, 1913,
$109,868.78.
Miscellaneous holdings of the company
include 60,000 shares of Little Bell Consoli·
dated Mining company stock; one·third in·
terest ISilver Lake Water company; tunnel
contract with Ontario Silver Mlining com·
pany and Daly Mining company; 50,000
shares of Thompson·Quincy 'Consolidated
Mining company stock; bills receivable,
$28,698.90.
E. L. Talbot, superintendent of the mine,
reports that there were mined 11,590 tons
of first class ore and 44,200 tons of second
class, a total of 55,850 tons.
F. \V. Sherman, mill superintendent,
states that the above amount of second
class was milled, out of which was sorted
1,369 tons. The ore contained 5.5 per cent
lead, 8 ounces silver 5.2 per cent zinc; 3.9
7"0 - r nrES ,,7 !PO' t' IZt

per cent iron and 70.4 per cent silica. The
lead concentrates contained 34.45 ounces
silver per ton, .0358 ounces gold, 30.84 per
cent lead and 1.1 per cent copper, while the
zinc concentrates contained 20.62 per cent
silver, 6.22 per cent lead, 34.29 per cent
zinc. The actual saving was 98.7 per cent
of the lead and 81.1 per cent of the silver.
The jig and trommel capacity of the mill is
being increased to obtain a larger capacity
and higher grade zinc concentrate. When
these changes are made it is expected that
the mill will treat 250 tons per eight-hour
shift.

THE TOHOQUA MINE.
The Toho::}ua Mining company, of Reno,
Nevada, operating in Leadville district,
Washoe county, same state, is push:ng
work in mine development, and expects to
make quite a heavy production this year.
Present work consists in drifting on the
vein, but later on the working shaft will
be deepened. The company has a 50·ton
concentrating plant on the ground, which
will be in commission this coming summer.
The Leadville Mining company, whose
postoffice is Gerlach, Nevada"has a lease
on a 300x60D foot block of Tohoqua ground.
To open up the orebodies in this lease the
company has driven a 1,500·foot tunnel,
from the breast of which a winze is being
sunk on th~ ore. According to the terms
of the lease, Which has a life of four years,
sinking must be continued at the rate of
ten feet per month. In addition. the Lead·
y:Jle company is t~ build and have a 50·
ton concentrating plant in commiss:on by
the first of Jun~. Warren Rose and F. W.
Soracco are in charge of the lease.
With both mills in operation this sum·
mer, the camp will present ,a llvely ap"
pearance. The ore is a silver·lead product.
The first·c!asscrude goes about $145 to
the ton and is shipped to the Salt Lake
smelteries. The concentrates, whiCh are
cons:gned to the same smelting center, go
$150 to the ton. On company ground, as
well as in the lease holdings, there is a
good showing of both shipping and milling
ore.
John Harnan is president of the
Tohoqua company, and John 1:". Heeney is
!'ecretary and treasurer.
Mr. Harnan, who is a prominent figure
iu western mining circles, is a heavy owner
ill the stock of the Portland Gold Mi~ing
company, of Cripple Creek, Colorado, which
paid $240,000 in dividends last year.
----o~---
Fifty thousand dollars in dividends were
paid out this week to stockholders of the
Standard ISilver·Lead Mining company of
~)l'itish Columbia. The stockhold8rs are
chiefly residents of Spokane, Washington.
This disbursement brings ilie payments of
the Standard up to $575,000, all made within
a year.

NEW SMELTERY IN COLORADO.
It is stated that the Brown Mountain

Inasmuch as the ore has not all beel;

longtime contracts for the needed suppl)

Research in mining problems is to be
advanced in this E.tate by the bill passed
at the last session of the l!'lgislature, which
appropriates a sum of money for the use of
the UniVersity of Utah in such wor}::. It is
to be regretted thitt the appropriation was
cut in half, and that only $7,500 j3 to be

Mill Superintendent Sherman, of the
DalY West Mining company, oper,;.ting in
the Park City district of this state, reports
that the actual saving in lead values for
the past fiscal year was 98.7 per cent. To
the best of our knowledge, this is a most
unheard of recovery in the milling of lead
ores, and has never been equaled or
approached.
Ups and downs at Rochester, Nevada,
were illustrated recently, when the discov­
ery of a sixteen-inch vein of high grade at
depth was announced as making the camp;
the vein pinched in three feet of depth and
the lessee threw up his lease in disgnst. The
owners took it up and struck another vein
on the next shot and Rochester is again
¥'made. You can't keep such a camp (lown.
The introduction of well known thicken·
ing devices, which have become standard in
'the cyanidation of gold and silver ores, into
the milling of copper ores, is an advance
that will probably meet with gratifying sue·
cess. We refer to the installation by the
Nevada Consolidated, in its Steptoe plant,

The United States Supreme court has
finally set its approval upon the lode claim
as the proper method of location for phos­
phate deposits, in the case of the San Fran·
cisco Chemical company versus Duffield and
Jeffs. Where so much lJ"oomfor difference
of opinion among engineers exists, we think
the rule formerly applied, of giving phos·
phate ground to the first locator, the most
justifiable procedure. As it happens in this
case the same locators owuld have won
under a decision based on either of these
principles.
Legitimate mining received a vin,Hcation
when Julian Hawthorne, erstwhile litera·
teur turned miner, and Dr. William J. Mor­
ton, who made a valiant attempt to get on
the opposite side from other members of
his profession, in the get·rich·quiclc game,
were found guilty of using the mails to de­
fraud and were sentenced to prisOI'.. The
holes in the ground in this case were in
Canada and the talents of these two men
were used in the promotion of a gigantic
swindle. We have more sympathy for the
business man Freeman, who 'received a
much heavier ;:lentence, for the filthy work
was performed iargely by the two first
named, whose education and talent should
have rendered them above such coarse
work.

A REPORT OF PROGRESS.
With this issue we conclude the fO)lr·
teenth year of our life. During the past
year, and especially ;It the close, the support
of our readers and patrons has been grati·
fying. In this connection we would call at·
tention to the advance made in the past
year, due to this support. As a result we
have been able to increase the value of our
news and technical columns. During the
past six months we have published many
technical articles, which have _ met with
hearty commendation from many sources.

We thank our many contributors for
their aid in technical discussion of present

We have always believed in the wisdom
of issuing twice a month. The overhead
organization must be large to issue weekly
and it is not the province of a purely min­
ing and engineering paper to seek to com·
pete with the daily press. On the other
hand, monthly issues would not enable us
to keep our readers posted on the latest oc­
currences in the mining field. "Ve have in
the past made a specialty of news. While in
nowise diminishing this feature of the paper,
whicn has been widely commended by our
readers, we shall henceforth devote more
space to technical subjects. We believe we
occupy a unique pOSition in mining jour­
nalism.
Unlike two of our contemporaries, Mines
& Minerals, which has abandoned the metal·
liferous field, and M,ining Science, of Den­
ver, which has decided to change its scope
to take a position like unto the Literary Di­
gest and will issue monthly, we believe the
field for such a paper as we are publishing
to be ever increasing and the last year es­
pecially has proved it to our satisfaction.
In this issue we have made a little ad­
vance in the size of the publication and ex·
pect to enlarge further in the near future.
We shall make no change in the dress or
style of our paper, believing, as before.
that we have the proper style, which we
have maintained since the beginning, and
were the first of the mining papers to es­
tablish. It is gratifying to us that the size
of our page has now become the standard.
We see no reason for changing the three­
column style or the size of our typ€'o It
could be no more legible.
We take this occasion to thank tllose
of our subscribers and patrons who have
loyally helped us to weather past storms
and who now are with us in our era of ex·
pansion. We are located in the center of
western mining. midway between the
eastern gateway. Denver, and the welltern

; month. Going to the nearest railroad point
the manager wired to several supply houses
in the west, but none of them kept the part
wanted in stock, and so an order had to
be sent east; and even then, sad to relate,
the piece of machinery wanted was not to
be furnished, and had to be made before
it could be forwarded. This delay cost the
company a lot of worry and trouble, and
a loss of about $10,000 that the mine would
have made during the enforced shut·down.
·So, you see, it was the little thing that
made all of the trouble, and which could
have been avoided had the management
paid more attention to the details cunnect·
ed with his office, and less to the game of
stud poker and sluff. I can cali to mind
another instance where a company lost
money because of inattention to Iittle
things. In this case a lot of powder and
fuse had been ordered, but the manage·
ment was so busy getting a high·grade
sample to send to the eastern office that
he clean forgot to order caps also. III due
time the powder and fuse arrived; but,
when the holes were charged, and th",
foreman called for the caps, they were not
forthcoming. As a consequ~mce a force of
fifty men was laid off for a couple of
weeks, and the company loss cut deeply
into the next dividend payment. At an·
other time the company was entirely out
of candles, which the manager had for­
gotten to order, and another shut·down wal>
recorded, with a still further loss. And, I
c()nce knew a man who ordered all kinds of
tobacco, only to find, when he got out into
the hills, that he had forgotten to take his
pipe along. As a result he had to hike
back home, thus losing a day and a half,
besides almost dying for a good smoke.
"I want to tell you, Old Long Ears,"
continued the prospector, if you will take
care of little things the big ones will take
care of themselves. If you will keep the
flies out of the mulligan I will engage to
eat the whole mess, no matter what else
is in it. It is the little things which count,
the sliver in the foot and the scratch on
the finger which, if neglected, may result
in the loss of a limb; and, if I live to be
as old as that outlaw jack of yours, I will
always be particular about little things;
and there you are, and then some."

concealment of conditions has long disturbed
its stockholders. The presldnt's statement
follows:
"I am submitting herewith for your con·
sideration and approval, balance sheet of
your company, as of date 'Dec. 31, 1912.
"Your company began operations on Aug.
1, 1912, and during the period to Dec. 31,
1912, mined and concentrated a total of
234,239 dry tons of ore, averaging in copper
contents 1.05 per cent. In the concentrates
shipped to the smelter there were 2,343,439
pounds of copper, 1,920.41 ounces of silver
and 379.875 ounces of gold.
"'Vhile the elapsed time of the opera·
tions to Dec. 31, 1912, was five months, the
above production was the result of only
about three and one·half months' operations,
your mine and mill having been closed
down on account of the strike for a period"
of about six weeks in :8eptember and Oc­
tober, and operations were very much in·
terfered with thereafter because of incom·
petent men and the disallction of the em·
ployees.
In August, 1912, a mill test run at the
concentrating plant was made by Allen Hast·
ings Rogers, who makes a specialty of con·
centration, and in accordance with his reo
port and recommendations, your directors
ordered the mill unit No. 2 dismantled, and
the Wall rolls removed. This change was
begun during the shut·down caused by the
strike, and the reconstructed unit was not
in operation at the close of the year. Your
concentrating mill was, therefore, operating
with only two units and treated an average
of about 2,000 tons of ore per day, but with
the reconstructed unit in full operation, your
concentrating mill should treat at least 3.000
tons of ore per day, which we expect will
be an accomplished fact by the first of next
month.
"Taking into consideration the various
handicaps suffered by your company in its
operations, among which I should not fail
to mention the extreme Weather conditions
prevailing in the Bingham mining district
during December, I feel that the results ob·
tained are fairly satisfactory."

 ]'".H,.E SALT
SOURCES OF POTASH
In conn~tion with th~ search for pot­
ash in the west which is being made by the
United States Geological .survey a great
number of localities have been visited by
th~ survey geologists, especially in the
great basin. Shallow desert lake beds,
so-called dry lakes or playas, ar~ exten·
sivelydistributed throughout this region.
Most of these playas contain salts to It
greater or less extent, and nearly all thes:~
salts show an analysis from one to four
per cent or more of potash. Few of these
lake beds show evidence of having ever
been submerged to a considerable depth,
and the deposits that lie in the lowest parts
of most of them are probably only alter­
nating strata of clays and saline muds,
with thin salt crusts produced by peri·
odic flooding and drying up. Large and
massive deposits of crystalline salts can
hardly be ex.pected except as the result of
the drying up of a very extensive and deep
saline lake, or as representing the con­
tinuous accumulation of saline matter in a
water body during a VNY long period of
time. Record of the existence of such lakes
in prehistoric times is to be found in cer­
tain parts of the great basin region. Con­
trary to the general assumption, however,
the extensive lake basins are in fact rela·
tively few. It is evident, therefore, that
the search for the important salt bodies
of this type has of necessity been narrowed
to a relatively few localities.
The areas in Searles lake and the
Panamint valley, California, of public
land withdrawn from entry on account of
their potash content are the lowest ,parts
of two ancient lake basins, whose waters
at their highest stage probably connected
through a narrow strait Both .b'asins
were filled by overflow from the drainage
of Owens river and in both the salts are
believed to have accumulated by natural
concentration of the normal drainage
waters from that source. The salt body
in Searles lake lies at the surface of the
'ground and was located in claims for the
soda it contained, before interest in pot­
ash had been seriously awakened. The
mud flat that forms the bottom of the
Panamint valley has recently been lo­
cated in "potash" claims, but without
any evidence that can be taken to indi­
cate ,the existence there of a valuable
saline mass. The salt that shows on the
surface' in the Panamint valley is rela­
tively insignificant in amount, and tests
for potash in the surface salts or ground
waters of this valley do not run higher
than the average of such salts in mud
flats and dry lakes generally. The lands
have therefore been withdrawn on evl­
dence of a more general character, the
theory being that the .former larger lake
of the Panamint valley when it dried up
might have deposited a bed of salt as large

possihly to a considerable depth, will be
needed to test the possibility of buried
salt deposits in this valley, and if suc'h
deposits are found to be present, it 1M
believed that they will b"e essentially like
those of the ,Searles deposit.
Columbus marsh, Nevada, is the evap·
oration pan of a shallow lake. AnalYSis
of clays obtained in this deposit have
shown some exceptionally high percent­
ages of potash. No Important beds of
clear crystal salts have yet been found
in the marsh, and the possible commer­
cial value of such a deposit still remains
a subject for further investigation
Pending such work these lands also have
been withdrawn from entry.

TRADE NOTES.
The Utah Junk company, of Salt Lake,
has purchased a $7,000 Browning locomotive
crane and lifting magnet for use in dismant­

self propelled on a standard gauge track
and will lift, with the magnet, five tons. It
furnishes all of its own power, and the com­
pany figures that it will soon pay for itself
on this job and will be later used for hand­
ling scrap at the company's yards.

Your Opportunity-Act Today

Have You Compared the Corporation vs. the Individual?

Corporate effort has displaced the work of the individual in the creation of large fortunes, great enterprises are now
often built in a day through combination.

New Ideas-Money Making Ideas

are determining factors in the success of these combinations of capital, intelligence and energy. An idea built upon
sound economic trade lines has in it the germ of great possibilities, the people who associate themselves with these
potent economic forces, assisting in their upbnilding, reap immense profits.

WE HAVE SUCH AN IDEA

Weare about to enter into the business manufacturing and distribution of the Montgomery "Open Eye
Brand" Shoes. The President-Treasurer and General Manager of this corporation is acknowledged throughout
the trade as one of the best shoe experts in the business. He has devised a new selling plan, based on logical lines,
that has successfully demonstrated its value, by which the middleman's profits are eliminated. It is unnecessary
to state the enormous possibilities that exist in the working out of this idea.
WE WANT PEOPLE
with a large outlook-people who are big enough to recognize the
inherent possibilities existant in our enterprise, who want to tie up
to what is sure to be one of the big succe..ses of the generation.
We are not looking for people who want something for nothing and
whose only claim to selling ability is their success in obtaining
cJ<pense money, We want people who are big enough to back up
faith with work.
TREASURY 'STOCK OFFERING
A small allotment of the Treasury Stoek of thl .. Corporation can
noW be bought either for ca"h or on the In"tallment plan at par­
ten (lI10) dollar!! per share, the present selling price. Brokers,
financial agents, bankers, trust companies and others who are rell­
nble and responsible will be allowed five (5%) per cent commission
on any amount of this stock which they sell, until the allotment is
sold.
We want people who have ambition, brain", courage, determina­
tion, energy, endurance and pride to co-operate with us in estab­
lishing a large co-operative shoe business in the Oity of Saint
Louis, Missouri, the Inost logical shoe center In the United Statcs
of America.
<ian you ..ell any of thl....toek? Can yon In"est In any of thl..
stock? '''ill yott eo-operat.. with us In thl.. enterprise? Are you
interested?

GUARANTEED STOCK
After a man has investigated the chances of success of a given
enterprise, what are the first questions he generally asks? He
wants to know if the stock is full paid and non-a....essable; he
wants to know if he stands any chance of losing more than he in­
vests. Guaranteed stoek offers him the still more desirable propo­
,sition that he cannot lo..e a dollar of what he doe.. Invest, Couhl
uny feature be given a stock proposition _hlch would add mor" to
the r"liabllity and deslrabllty of the stoekt This Treasury Stock
Is full paid and forever non-assessable.
HISTORY OF GUARANTEEING AND INSURING
STOCKS AND BONDS
Guaranteeing the stocks and bonds of eorporntions is not new,
'l'he system was adopted in Europ" centuries ago by successful
financiers and laid the foundations of fortune.
. The legitimate method of insuring stocks and maturing bonds
IS to guarantee them ugalnst 10"" to the eJ<tent of their purchase
price, and the amount of the guarantee Is paid by the Guaranty
Company. at a fixed time. whether the Corporation succeeds or
fails; if the Corporation succeeds the amount Is paid into the
