BONNIE CLARE
TREASURY STOCK
DIRECTORS ELECT NEW BOARD
MEMBER
ORDER EXTENSIVE WORK IN THE
MINES
Company Has Forty Thousand Dollars
in Treasury and Ore Worth a
Million and a Quarter
in Its Mines
With $40,000 in its treasury and ore
to the value of $1,398,700, net, blocked
out in Its several mines, the New Bon
nie Clare Mining company has begun
a campaign of development work and
the reduction of its ores Into sold bul
lion which should win for it a i
with the regular dividend paying mines
of the west. The company lias ordered
six carloads of machinery from the
Allis-Chalmers company of Chicago,
and the first car will be at the Bonnie
Clare railway station in Nevada with
in thirty days.
The machinery is for the mill, which
under the direction of Andrew J.
Trumbo, general manager, and S. F.
Owen, vice president of the company,
who has been building mills for fifty
years, will be converted into a modern
plant of 100 tons capacity, this tr> form
the first unit of a 500-ton mill, which
will treat custom ores as well as the
output of the Bonnie Clare group of
developed mines.
Branch Road Is Assured
The spur track from the mill to the I
mines, a distance of seven miles, will
be built by the Tonopah and Tide
water without delay, according to Mr.
Luckhardt, mining engineer of the
road, who was In Los Angeles Satur
day and stated to an official of the
company that he would so recommend.
As there are no heavy grades or rock
work, and the company has rails which
will serve for this work, it Is hoped
to have the road ready for operation
by January 1 of next year, when the
mill will be completed.
The machinery for the mill consists
of 10 additirnal stamps, a tube mill.
four Deister slime tables, four Wilfleys,
a complete agitation system and prob
ably an Oliver filter press. This lat
ter will be determined by Mr. Trumbo j
and Mr. Carleton, who will test a
small lot nf Bonnie Clare ore at Grass:
Valley, Cal., where the Oliver press
is in operation.
J. Ross Clark, president of the L.
V and T railroad, which reaches Bon
nie Clare station with its Goldfleld
line, is also taking an interest in the
spur business, and has wired one of
the engineers of the company at Je
rome. Ariz., to go there at once and
make a report on the tonnage. It is
not improbable that there will be keen
competition over the. business of the I
Gold Mountain district, which has.
other good mines besides the Bonnie
Clare. That company will sign up
with the first one of the railway sys
tems which makes good and agrees to
deliver 100 tons of ore every twenty
four hours for two years. As Mr.
Ryan's engineer has reported that the
company is able to make good on this
contract there should be no further de
lay in the matter.
Arranges for Electric Power
The Nevada and California Power
company, which supplies the electric
fluid for southwestern Nevada from its
big generating plants along
Bishop creek, Owens valley, Califor
nia, has agreed to tap the Bullfrog
transmission line at a point five miles
from Bonnie riare and deliver 250
horsepower to the company. The indi
vidual motor system will be installed
and the several motors have been in
cluded in the order given Allis-Chal
iriers.
Aside from the development of the
leasers, of which there are five en
gaged on the different mines, the com
pany will start extensive work on its
own account, and Will enter the inter
esting sulphide zone, which has been
barely penetrated in the dee] ;t work-
Ings of the Rattlesnake mine, at a
cVr'n of 850 feet. Leasers rire now
engaged in loading five cars of a
! grade of shipping ore, which
must be transported by wagon to the
railroad.
Status of Old Stockholders
Under the terms of the agreement
by which the New Hoi. .om
pany took over the obligations and
assets of the old stock in the new
company was to be issued to the share
holders in the company which it suc
ceeded, at the rate of one share of
new for three of the old issue, as soon
bs patents to the ground were re
ceived. Application has been made and
it is expected that the patents will be
given by the first of January, as there
were no advenes filed. The stock now
quoted on the exchange is the
of the old company.
One of the. valuable assets of the
Bonnie Clare ennsi 0 tona of
tailings, from the mill now being re
built and from the old plant which was
operated by Chlatovlch at Thorpe's
Wells. Mr. Trumbo states that this
lot of t&lllngs can bo : upon
for an extraction of $4 per ton.
Directors Elect New Member
The directors of the company held an
Important meeting Saturday, at which
George W. Walker, a director in the
Broadway Brink and Trust company. ]
•which is treasurer for the company,
was made a member of the board. Mr.
Walker and W. I. Holllngsworth, a
large dealer in real est a di
rector In the First National, have pur
chased a large block of treasury stock,
supplying all the money which the
company will need to carry out its
plans.
MAKE RICH STRIKE IN
THE RIVERSIDE MOUNTAINS
Information has been received in I.os
Angeles of a rich gold strike in the
Martin mine in the Riverside moun
tains, south of Calzona on the Parker
cut-off. The letter telling of the dis
covery says that ore to the value of
$4000 per ton was encountered at a
comparatively shallow depth in a shaft.
The Riverside district is rapidly com
ing to the front as development work
discloses the presence of good values,
and its location, close by the Colo
river, insuring water for reduction
v/orks, insures mills for the treatment
of Its ores.
Don W. Carlton, lecYetary of the
New Bonnie flare Mining company,
has gone to San Francisco fur a ten
days' stay. While tbere be will run
over to Grass Valley to meet Man
ager Trumbo on mine business.

supply to the man who seeks the
lures of nature in that forbidding
country, is at the head of the skidoo
mine and has established a number
of watering stations along the line, '
where the precious fluid Is free to all
Who come.
The Skidoo pipe line Is twenty-two
miles long anil built over the worst
section of the rugged peaks of the Cot
tonwoods. Mat Hovak, who was in
charge of the Skidoo when the line
was laid and the mill built, says thai .
he checked out (643,000 (or material
and equipment for the mine and mill. ;
The pipe was hauled from Johannes
burg, a distance of 110 miles, and the
wagon transportation alone w:is 3 \
cents a pound. Tin- property is now on
a profit-paying basis.
I.X.L. LEASERS FIND
A SHOOT OF RICH ORE
[Special to The Herald.]
SEARCHLIGHT, Nev., Oct. 17.—The
ore shoot on the I. X. L. claim of the
Homestead i state, which was found
some time ago by leasers, has opened
up into a veritable bonanza and now
shows, at the bottom of a twenty-fool
winze sunk from the tunnel level, six
feet of ore which will average not less
than $r>o a ton. The leasers have a
twenty-ton lot completed and will ship
to the smelters.
The vein was found by cross-cutting
from the tunnel at a point where a
small seam of ore appeared, which was
followed on its downward course. The
vein is a cross-fissure from the Search-]
light, the ore carrying copper, lead and
gold. As soon as the dip is determined
It is the intention of the lessees to raise
to the surface and put in a hoist.
The" Crittenden Development com
pany is installing a hoist on its lease
on the New Year's Gift, and will sink!
a winze from the 130-foot level on the
vein from which Mr. Crittenden, during .
the life of a previous lease, shippe 1
$85,000 worth of rich ore.
The Knight mill, of three stamps, is
to be moved from Juniper Camp to
Searchlight and operated as a custom
mill. The plant, while small, is
equipped with heavy stamps and has
been successfully operated.
The Gold Beam company announces
an extensive campaign of development
work. The stock of the company is to
j be listed on the New York curb and
a large fund raised for the purpose
of putting the mine on a producing
I basis.

freely offered at that figure.

BOSTON, Oct. 18.— Boston coppers can
be called stronger, although trading docs not
show any great activity except in spots. The
strength In Amalgamated has improved sen
timent somewhat and we have no doubt Is
responsible for the strength generally In the
ccppers. Butte Coalition has extended Its ad
vance to 26%, a gain of 5-16. North Butte got
as high as 60% and has since reacted to 60.
Old Dominion at 52 was stronger; range Is up
■i point. Mohawk has been the exception and
U a point lower. Superior Copper was taken
in hand after the first hour and advanced to
60%, a gain of 1%. This has been very quiet
for some time past. In the Industrial list
United Si.it. *OH has been the feature of
activity and strength and at 38% shows a
gain of one point. Nominal transactions have
taken place in American Telegraph and I'nit

The address of Grand Commander
Richardson contained a detailed re
view of the history of the order during

"It is \forthy of comment," he said,
"that there are more members of our

"These facts are not referred to by

WORKERS GREET
THEIR EMPLOYER
ARTHUR LETTS IS GUEST OF
MEN ON PAYROLL
SAYS LOS ANGELES HAS EUROPE
BEATEN TO STANDSTILL
Gifts Will Be Prepared Today for
Women Holding Responsible
Positions in the Big
Store
Arthur Letts, proprietor of the Br<> id
way Department Store, was the honored
guest at a banquet given last night
in Levy's banquet room by the store's
department managers, their assistants,
and Hour managers,. Fifty-live were
present,
Mr, Letts, in a neat speech, told of
his recent trip through Europe. Dur
ing the course of his remarks he said:
"The American merchant who goes to
Europe to get new ideas and learn
methods would better buy a return
trip ticket; and the European merchant
would better buy a one-way ticket, for |
the methods are so entirely different it
is impossible to learn much of value.
We can learn more about methods here |
in America, and for that matter In Los t
Angeles. I never realized what a great |
city Los Angeles Is until I went away
and returned.' 1
Each man present last night re
ceived a beautiful gift. Gifts also will
be made to all the women holding re
sponsible positions In the store. Every
cash boy and cash girl will be remem
bered today for their kindness in send
ing Mr. Letts a handsome bouquet last
night. When the flowers were pre
sented to him, he could hardly utter
his thanks, so profoundly was he
touched by the rememberance.
After Mr. Letts' remarks were con
cluded, he called upon each depart
ment manager for an informal report
of business conditions. Every report
was most favorable, Indicating a pros
perous condition of affairs all over the
big store.
The banquet tables were covered
with reil carnations nnd ferns and
adorned with large bouquets of the same
(lowers. The entire room was canopied
with streamers of asparagus plumosa
and ferns. American Hags were used
In decorations, although a feature was
the grouping of silk (lags on the side
walls typical of the countries Mr.
Letts has visited while he has been In
Europe,
While Mr. Letts was away he opened
up offices In Paris, Berlin and Chem
nitz These offices, together with the
office In New York, will work in har
mony with the home office, thus giving
the Broadway Department Store buy-
Ing prestige in all the chief centers.
Those present nt the banquet were:
Messrs. Arthur Letts. Adams, Aldritt,
Amos, Bell, Bernadat, Boyle, Brooker,

minutes. Mr. Wright, accompanied by
Lieutenant Lahm, then flew for eleven
minutea and thirty-four seconds.
While the machine was encircling the
field it was pitched and tossed by a
ten-mile wind.
Evening Tests
In the evening Mr. Wright was ac
companied on the first (light by Lieu
tenant Humphrey, who handled the
machine unaided through most of the
devious course.
On the last flight Mr. Wright had
Lieutenant Lahm with him for more
than eight minutes. As the machine
sped around Mr. Wright relinquished
control of the craft to his pupil.
While flying about with Lieutenant
Lahm and Mr. Wright the aeroplane
came abreast of a swiftly moving ex
press train. So close was the machine
of the air to its rival on the earth that
it appeared to be right above it.
The disturbance of the air created
by the speed of the train seemed to
affect the aeroplane, which swept
down dangerously close to the earth.
As the wind caught it and aided it on
ward it seemed to gain upon the train.
Longer flights and more difficult
maneuvers are now to be attempted by
the aviation class at the government
aerodrome.
Lieutenant Benjamin Foulois, who
made the famous Alexandria cross
country run with Orville Wright, re
turned today from Nancy, France,
where he had been as the representa
tive of the United States army at the
aeronautical congress.
He will report at College Park to
morrow, and it is probable he will be
added to the list of students of avia
tion.
