NEWS OF THE MINES AND THE OIL FIELDS
CAMP OF LUNING
ENTERS NEW ERA
OUTPUT JUSTIFIES ERECTION
OF SMELTER
BOTH GOLD AND COPPER MINES
ATTRACT INVESTORS
First Mill of District Is Already in.

Mining Theory
From sources reliable and conserva
tive i rived data on the camp of
Lulling, in Nevada, that leads to the
conclusion the present year will wit
ness activities there equal to anything
in mining circles since the days of
early Qoldfleld The year 1909 saw the
advent of the first treating plant In the
district, being that of the Del Monte
Mining and Smelting company. Th«
wildcatter has disappeared and legiti
mate mining is being prosecuted In ana
üboul Lunlns In a way that can «"\y
result In marked success. The camp
has, from every report, some of the best
mild and copper properties in the south
west, and with considerable capital al
ready in the district and more to coin.;
this year Lunlng and suroundlng coun
try look with every assurance toward
.1 period of permanent prosperity.
With tile installation of tlio mill of
the Del Monte Mining and Smelting
company began the milling era in the
Lunlng district, and several other com
panies will follow th>> lead, according
io .1. Holman Buck, editor of the West
cm Nevada Miner (Mlna), who re
cently inspected the properties of the
district.
Before the close, of 10M the greater
nan of the ore output of that .section
will he treated on the ground,
Output Justifies a Smelter
This output lias for some time past
justified not only the construction of
mills, hut a largo smelter as well. This
smelter is now being promoted, pie-
SUmably by eastern capitalists, and in
all probability ground for the smelter
v ill he broken this year.
Near the Del Monte mines is the
■ stale of the Nevada-Qarfield Consoli
dated Mines company, which had a rec
ord production in early days of $46,000,
--000 Mild which recently opened a rich
ore ahoot in the lower workings by

Ing done preparatory to the construc

it is said. II Is 1" lieved this plant will
be in operation before the close of the
pi .gent year. Besides the enormous
tonnage of ore In the underground
workings then' are several tuns of
g i milling grade piled on the dumps.
Mr. Buck continues with a brief re
view Df the properties of the camp.
He writes:
Some Shipments Are Made

Mr. Randolph, who is in charge, has
n Bmall force of miners ;it work. Borne
shipments are being made. This prop
erty, like the Mayflower group, the
Turk and Wall Street groups, the Sun
rlse mines of Col. A. (.'. Ellis of Suit
Lake, the Borax .Smith estate, the Va
cation claims of Dr. Plyraire and as
sociates, the properties of Bernard
McDevitt and A: L. Kempland, all
have exposed large bodies and an
enormous tonnage ->f copper, silver and
lead ores, carrying good gold values.
With a smelter of sufficient capacity
these properties alone would prove a
formidable rival of Ely.
"The Nevada Champion Copper com
pany promises to start operations
shortly after the first of the year. The
Arizona-Nevada Copper company, the
Joseph L. Qlroux holdings, installed a
sixty-five horse power hoist during the
pant year and have sunk to a depth
..i 1 about 900 feet In the double com
partment shaft. More claims have
been acquired, and recently the com
pany acquired several springs and
there are strong Indications that the
company will erect their proposed
smelter.
"in the same vicinity are the great
copper properties of Lunlng'g "Copper
Queen" Fermina Barrais. During tho
year II has made several'shipments of
ore that ran high in both gold and

"Operations on the Green Mystery
and the Dunbarton Springs groups will
begin in earnest In the near future.
The rich old Hidden Treasure is still
i losed clown through litigation, but its
near neighborsi the Silver I.caf Mlniifg

Installed a gasoline hoist during: the
year lflon, and a shaft has been sunk
to a depth of 200 feet. The shaft will
be continued to the 800-level and cross
cuts run to the main ledge. Several
good stringers were cut In sinking the
shaft. Mr. Lea is pleased with the
luture outlook.
"George BelllS, manager of tlio Hat

"One of tho most promising proper

"This property has a number of ex

Luning Gold Mines syndicate, which is
now blocking out large bodlei of good
ore; the New York and Mayflower
groups, owned by L. 1.. Patrick and

M. 11. Jacobs, president and general
manager of the Esmeralda Copper
company, says that In all his experi
ence in mining he has never seen such
b large and highly mineralized zone aa
that embraced in the territory about
Mina and Luning and predicts that as
soon as the investing public becomes
thoroughly acquainted with the situ
ation great fortunes will be made in
that region. Mr, Jacobs was at one

of the mini a of Luning and will devote
his time to the development of exten

NEW DISTRICT FORMED
SOUTH OF SEARCHLIGHT
SEAHCHLIGHT, Jan. 18.—A meet-
Ing of miners and prospectors residing

standard will get 76 cents for their oil
has i n stated by an official of the
Associated Oil company, which has de
cided to at once extend its Coalinga-

to Midway. This line will connect at
Coallnga with the Port Costa pipeline,
also now under construction.
The Standard is making strenuous
efforts to sign up contracts in Mid

tied up smile good ones. The company
is understood to be willing to pay 66
cents on quantity contracts of 300,000
barrels or more, offering but 30 cents
for 200,00 barrels.
The Midway oil, as produced by the
Santa Fe well on section 6, teats 23

LOS ANGELES TO
GET CONVENTION
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS
HEADS THIS WAY
CITY'S RIVAL, SPOKANE, FAILS IN
LAST EFFORT
Generous Support of Local Mining
Men Toward Securing Needed
Legislation Wins National
Applause
It is now conceded that Los Angeles
will get the next convention of the
American mining- congress, through
the efforts of its local affiliate, the
Sierra Madre club.
From the tenor of recenl remarks in
the Northwest Mining News, pub
lished at Spokane, it is • vident the
northern city has lost heart in its ef
fort to secure the American Mining
Congress convention for the present
year. The last issue contains the fol
lowing editorial note:
"It now seems highly Improbable
that Spokane will secure the next
meeting of the American Mining con
gress. From reports coming to us it
seems to be the polli y of the president
of that organisation to farm thi met i
inp: out to the highest bidder, and the
pace,is getting so swin thai he has
conceived the Idea of securing funds
in this manner to not only pay the ex
penses of the meeting, but alao to con
duct a legislative campaign at Wash
ington, D. <\, and in the 1 various
gtatea. While Spokane can scarcely be
regarded, as niggardly, the 1 citizens
have ii"i sufficient Interest in the
American Mining congress to desire to
finance it for a year or to pay any
part of the expenses beyond those in
cident to the meeting, which of course
would include the printing of tin- re
port. It might lie well fur the presi
dent of the congress to understand
also that thi! sentiment is shared by
tin- local members."
Los Angeles the Rival
While no names are mentioned, it is
evident to those who know aught of
the offer made by the Sierra Madre
club that Lns Angeles is the rival re
ferred to. The offer has been made in
all earnestness and Includes the pay
ment oC (5000 to the congress for th<'
purpose <>r furthering needed legisla
tion at Washington ami a further Bum
to he expended in the payment of
legitimate expenses of the convention.
The position assumed by (he Spokane I
Journal is not exactly fair either to its
rival for the honor or to the officials
of the congress, it' the American Min
ing congress fulfills the purpose tor
which it was organised and really
represents the best Interests of the
mining industry, it is quite evidi nt that
legislation must he pressed to secure a
bureau of mines and, as everyone
knows, law-making, especially under
rules of "senatorial courtesy" ami
other tiresome congressional arro
gances, is an expensive luxury.'
The American Mining congress com
prises only 12O<) members, when it
should he .supported enthusiastically by
at least 10.000, and the organization
has been compelled to subsist upon the
meager sum derived from the modest
dues exacted.
Secretary Lacked Support
The secretary or the congress, dur
ing the Fight before the last BCBfion of
the national legislators, was compelled
to live at cheap lodging houses and
practically advance th.' entire sum
spent in the abortive effort to awaken
the representatives of the nation to a
proper conception or their duty to an
industry which employs about 2,000,000
men and contributes <;r> per cent Of the
carrying trade of all our railroad .
[t is time fho mining Industry was
properly represented In the great fight
for recognition and it cannot be done
without a certain amount of ready
money. Thi- city that cheerfully con
tributes to tjie fund should be entitled
to the honor of entertaining the. next
mooting of the congress ami every other
mining community in the" country
Should applaud it for the unselfish mi
i exhibited In the. work.
Spokane, If unable or unwilling or ton
Indifferent to help the cause with
needed cash, should aid any other city
willing to foot tlio bills, li Is unbe
coming to sulk or nurse "a grouch"
against officials who are doing their
full duty by furthering the interests of
every man connected with the Indus.

IMPRUDENT WAR CAUSE
OF DECREASE IN WEALTH
Fortune of France Shows Marked
Diminution Since Fight on
Capital Was Declared
PARIS, Jan. 16.—The statistics of
the death duties in Fram ■ have led
to the remark In an Interesting report
on the subject that of late years much
more capital has been invested in for
eign stocks than In the rentes. It is
pointed out that In 18S8 the proportion
for the French funds was ts per cent,
and consequently 22 per cent for the
foreign. Last year, however, a dimi
nution of IS per cent in the former in
vestments was noticeable. Sir li is the
conclusion arrived at from a compar
ison between the different years.
There is also a rather marked dimi
nution in the amount of the property
declared. Last year the decrease
amounted to more than 1120,000,000 to
that of the period between 189] and
1895. Commenting on these facts, the
Eclair says:
"The fortune of France has dimin
ished during- the last sixteen years.
and this decrease coincides with the
war imprudently declared against cap
ital by politicians. In the period ISM
to lwiri the fortune of France amounted
to 147,000.000,000 In 1908 it was not
more than 148,000.000,000, so ol!i< ial sta-
tisties prove that in sixteen years the
fortune of France haa undergone a
diminution of 14,000,000,000. This is an
experience which might serve ai a
warning' elsewhere.''
