OLD ROSARID MINE LETS
CONTRACT FOR BIG PLANT
Property Recently Acquired by
London Men Was Once
Mexico Bonanza
CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Aug. 16.—Con
tracts have been let for the building of |
a big reduction plant at the famous |
old Kosario mine at Guadalupe y
Calvo, Chihuahua, recently acquired by
the West Mexico Mines company of
London. It is hoped to have the plant
in readiness to start treating an aver
age of 200 tons a day within six months j
and after that a substantial increase
will be made.
This mine, In' the extreme south
western part of Chihuahua, was a
bonanza from the grassroots. The j
main vein i-s said to be 100 to 150 feet i
wide, averaging In width about 100:
feet, and by an open cut along the
ledge 1800 feet long, seven feet deep
and 130 feet across, there were in the
early days exposed four distinct high
grade shoots between which are vast
tonnages of fair milling truck running
about $10 to the ton.
An Indian discovered the property in
October of 1835, and in the following
year English interests secured a lease
upon it. Foreigners were not allowed
to own Mexican mines outright until
*o-.. So much gold was taken from
the bonanza at the very start that in
1842 the government established a mint
there and coinage began in 1844.
According to such records as have
been preserved, the Rosario produced
$16,000,000 gold fr> i 1838 to 1846, but
it is conservatively estimated that the
actual output up to 1847 was $40,000,000,
the true facts having often been with
held to evade the heavy tax on bullion.
Failing to agree upon terms for a
renewal of their lease, the Englishmen
abandoned the mine in 1847, and it lay
practically dormant until 1883, when it
was purchased by a company organ
ized in Memphis, Term. Another crowd
of Americans secured control |£ 1892,
and took out $100,000 in twenty-one
rionths, selling to the Rosario Mining
and Milling company of London In
1895, the property later passing to the
West Mexico Mines company, present
incumbents.
NEEDLES CUTS TENNESSEE
LEDGE AT 200-FOOT LEVEL
Shaft Found in Good Condition
and Will Be Unwatered
KINGMAN, Aug. 16.—1t Is reported
that the Needles Mining and Smelting
company has cut the Tennessee vein
at a depth of 200 feet and that old
works will be unwatered to that depth
at once. Below the 200 level in the
old shaft the shaft is said to be In per
fect condition to the 600, or rather is
believed to be in good condition and
the old shaft can be used instead of
driving the new shaft down to that
depth.
By draining the* mine through the
new shaft to the 200 It will be possible
to catch up the ground from the 200 to
the surface in the eld shaft and work
the mine through that opening. As
soon as the mine is unwatered the
company will be able to start the w^rk
of exploitation and shipment of ore.
It is said on the 600 level there is a
fine body of lead ore and on the levels
above that point there are big bodies
of zinc. The mine is sure to be a big
producer, the company being able to
handle a lower grade of ore than the
old owners of the property on account
of owning its own reduction plants.
Burt Lunceford was over from the
Tom Reed mill Wednesday with about
$20,000 in bullion, the result of the last
cleanup of the mill and cyanide tanks.
He. reports the mill doing splendid
work and that the new plant will soon
be in operation, when still better re
sults will be had. President Grimes
is at the mine and is well pleased with
the existing conditions in the property.
A dividend will probably be paid stock
holders about September 10 and there
after regular dividends will be forth
coming. The ore bodies recently
opened are said to be very rich and
extensive.
AT GOLD CKOWX MINE
The assembling of the machinery at
the Gold Crown mine is well under
way, a number of large teams hauling
the machinery from the station at
Union. A pipe line is being put in to
carry the water from the big spring
above Union Pass to the mine, a dis
tance of two miles. This line has been
laid to the top of the mountain through
the main Union Pass divide, the water
being carried along by gravity, the
head bring about forty-five feet above
the highest point. From the summit
of the mountain the fall to tho mine
•will be about 1000 feet. This will give
a great pressure at the outlet and at
the fame time furnish enough water
for the new mill. At the mine a few
men are getting the stopes ready to
furnish the necessary production of
ore for the mill. General Manager E.
H. Barton has gone to Los Angeles to
look aftor some business matters, but
is expected to return within the next
few days.
SinPS $17,500 BIXIJON
Last Tuesday J. P. Gideon brought
In from the Gold road mill a bar of
bullion weighing $17,500, the mill run
for the week. He said owing- to the
freezing of the furnace and breaking
of a melting pot the company was
unable to melt the remainder of the
retort, which was valued at over $8000,
which would have brought the ship
ment to over $25,000. The report of the
company, which is now In the hands of
shareholders, shows a healthy condi
tion of the mine. It also gives the In
formation that the company la now
able to mine and mill ore for $4 a ton,
less than one-half the cost under the
old conditions.
W. A. Mensch has put a force of men
to work on the Enterprise mine and
intends to do a large amount of de
velopment prepaniory to putting In
a milling plant. The mine shows big
ore bodies that can be concentrated
into valuable shipping product. Water
in abundance can be had in the prop
erty and good roads lead to the rail
road, whence shipments of the concen
trates can be made to the tmelters.
STRIKE IN NEW MEXICO
BUCHANAN, N. M., Aug. IB.—Cop
r W ore of good quality and large quan
tities has been struck ten miles south
east of this place and six mllos south
of Largo switch, on the Belen cutoff.
This find was made by O. H. Hickman,
B. -M. Myers and Lon Beall in the
Veio hills, where they have been pros
pecting since early last spring.
JAMES WYNKOOP
OIL MEN WILL MEET
TO DISCUSS POLICY
OF CONSERVATIONISTS
The assembly room of the chamber
of commerce has been selected as the
place and at 8 o'clock Thursday night
as the time for the meeting of oil men
who will discuss and possibly adopt
some policy regarding conservation.
Letters signed by eighteen men rep
resenting many oil Interests and com
panies have been mailed to 1500 opera
tors in the state," Inviting and urging
them to attend the gathering.
The letter of Invitation contains the
following:
"It Is generally agreed that the United
States . government will enact measures
tending to conserve the mineral resources
of the country at the early session of
congress. •■
"In order that the oil Industry may
cot be irremediably injured, It Is also
apparent that the oil operators of this
state should get together and formu
late a plan that, while consistent with
the policy of conservation, will Insure
fair competitive conditions for all those
engaged In the production of oil." *
The meeting Is declared In general
terms to be "for the purpose of crys
tallizing sentiment and making arrange
ments to thoroughly study the matter
and bring It to the attention of the
American Mining congress."
BAY CITY OIL COMPANY
PAYS SEVENTH DIVIDEND
Directors Decide to Increase the
Number of Shares and
Lower Par to $1
The Bay City Oil company Is today
paying Its dividend No. 7 for 10 cents
a share, making a total of $145,000 paid
in dividends by this company to date.
The date of payment of dividends has
just been changed from the 10th to the
15th of the month, in order that the
regular monthly meeting on the sec
ond Thursday will always precede the
dividend date.
The directors of this company have '■
decided that It will be for the interest
of the stockholders to change the num
ber of shares and the par value of ',
same from 100,000 shares of the par I
value of $5 each, as it now stands, to j
500,000 shares at a par value of $1 each, j
and have asked the stockholders to ap
prove of cuch an amendment to the
articles of incorporation.
"While this does not change the
amount of the capital, it places a par |
value on the stock more in accord with
the usual plan of corporations of this I
kind. The new issue of stock will, of j
course, give the stockholders Jive i
shares of the new stock for each share
they may bold of the old stock.
BIG PAYROLL SPEAKS
WELL FOR GOLDFIELD
GOLDFIELD, Aug. 16.—Eighty-six
thousand dollars was distributed by
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines com
pany as the pay roll for the month of
July, with approximately 700 men on
the list. The disbursement of this
amount of money in wages each month
by this company makes the 10th a wel
come date to workmen and merchants
alike. Labor conditions in this camp
were never so satisfactory as at pres
ent, and there are practically no Idle
men in the district. Construction work
now being done by the Consolidated has
given employment to a large number ot
men in addition to the regular mining
and milling forces, so practically all of
the unemployed labor of the camp has
been absorbed.
The Florence is employing a good
force and the several leases throughout
the camp are also employing a greater
number of men than hag been the case
for a number of years. With the Con-
Boltdated pay roll as a nucleus, labor
condition* are assuredly in good shape.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1910.
WHICH ARIZONA CITY
WILL GET CONGRESS?
Governor of Territory Issues Call
for Commerce Organizations
to Decide Question
Last Wednesday the governor of Ar
izona, in response to a general appeal
i headed by the Yuma chamber of mines,
j requested the Phoenix board of trade to
1 issue a call for the representatives of
the different commercial bodies
j throughout the territory to meet at
Phoenix on Monday, September 5, to
decide on one Arizona city which It
will support in an effort to secure the
next session of the American Mining
congress. To make the meeting thor
oughly representative, the mayor of
Phoenix co-operated and asked the
I board to Invite the mayor of each city
and to urge the attendance of all the
chief executives of Arizona cities, that
a well organized plan to secure the con
vention may be started.
A call to the members of the Arizona
Mining association Is included, and Col.
Epes Randolph, its president, will be
asked to preside. A consideration of
accessibility by railroads and hotel ac
commodations will undoubtedly be the
cardinal point upon which all aspirants
will be asked to base their claims.
As Phoenix is not In the race this
year, and as the Phoenix board is ren
dering such enthusiasm, it was chosen
as an admirable place to hold the meet
ing.
It Is expected there will be a large
number of mining men at this-first con
ference, and as the Phoenix board of
trade will have its Los Angeles bureau
in full swing In time for the convention
this year, every effort to secure next
year's convention can be well directed.
FLORENCE EXTENSION
FINDS BODY OF QUARTZ
GOLDFIELD, Aug. 16.—'A fine body
of quartz is being broken into on the
500 level of the Florence Extension,
which was recently started up under
lease by a syndicate of California
operators, and it is thought that within
a short time good ore will be encoun
tered. The quartz is now showing con
siderable tetrahedrite and looks very
encouraging. This ground adjoins the
old Rogers syndicate lease on the
Florence and has an excellent chance
for becoming a good producer, as it is
directly in line for the southerly pro
jection of the Rogers ore shoot. If .
expectations are realized it will be an
important bearing on solving the geo
logical or ore problem of the territory
beyond the south end of the Florence.
Three shifts are being worked and
general repairs and thorough prepara
tions are being made for an extensive
campaign of development.
PALMILLAS'S 1000-TON
MILL NEAR COMPLETION
PARRAL, Mexico, Aug. 16.—The ttrst
unit of the big 1000-ton mill being
erected by the Palmilla company is
nearing completion. The steel workers
will be through early next week. Some
record time has been made on this
plant. The first piece of steel was laid
April 6 of this year, and in the four
months 700 tons of steel, 100 tons of
corrugated iron and 200 window sash
have been placed. The work of put
ting the mill machinery in place is
progressing, the four tube mills are
ready to turn over, the classifiers will
be in position in a day or so and the
battery of stamps is being erected.

STRIKES GOLD AND SILVER
John Rainey has made a rich gold

mine in the Tombstone district, Arizo
na, recently leased by him. the ore av
eraging $200 a ton. The ground of this
mine extends over the recent cavein on
Toughnut street, and the strike was
made in this cavein in the old stope,
from which over $1,000,000 was extract
ed in the early days of Tombstone.
These workings and stope extend
many thousand feet in the vicinity of
the Russ hotel and the depot grounds,
and about three feet under the floor of
the old store is where Rainey encoun
tered a ledge of rich ore carrying horn
silver The ledge is four feet wide.
It is calculated by the old miners that
Kainey will net over. $100 a day on his
lease. ~^,

SALT LAKE ROUTE WILL
INCREASE TRAIN SERVICE
The first of the two new trains to be
operated between Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City over the Salt Lake
route will begin operations on August
23, according to information given out
at the Salt Lake offices yesterday.
The train will be first-class throughout,
being on a par with the Lob Angeles
Limited, and will make equally good
time, the only difference between the
two trains uelng that the latter runs
through to Chicago, while the former
only goes as far as Salt Lake.
With the installation of this train the
Salt Lake will be operating four first
class transcontinental trains out of
this city daily. It is sieved that this
new train eventually will be extended
to run on to Chicago, or possibly
Omaha and Kansas City.
BOLEO COPPER PRODUCES
FROM FIVE KNOWN BEDS
The Boleo Copper company of Lower
California ended its half year with a
production of 14,573,000 pounds of cop
per. The output for June, amounting
i to. 2,115,314 pounds, was the lowest fur
I any month thus far this year. The
monthly output was as follows:
January 2,644,000 lbs.
February 2,1*31,832 lbs,
March 2.145.383 lbs.
April 2.777.500 lbs.
May 2,73'i.050 11)8.
June 2.115,314 lbs.
Total 14.753.000 lb«.
The ore bearing deposits are ex
tensive. They comprise five known beds
of apparently sedimentary origin, the
copper bearing formation covering an
area of 7500 acres. The formation ex
tends east under the Gulf of Cali
fornia. All varieties of copper ore aj/e
mined, the greatest abundance being
In a clay impregnated with sulphurets.
There are three principal groups of
mines—Providencia, Purgatorlo and So
ledad, all being connected by railroad
with the smelter. The railroad sys
tem comprises thirty-six kilometers in
length, the rolling stock consisting of
nine Baldwin locomotives and 350 cars.
The smelter furnaces comprise eight
water jackets, each of a capacity of
150 tons. The ore is briquetted.
An electrical plant furnishes power
for hoisting, traction engines, ventila
tors and pumps, as well as lighting the
mines and village of Santa Rosalia.
