THREE GOLDFIELD MINES
DISTRIBUTE DIVIDENDS
Red Top, Mohawk and Con
solidated Pay $658,450
to Share Holders
FACE BIG PROBLEM
Unsatisfactory Smelter Sit
uation Is Disturbing
Directors
, GOLDFIELD, Xov. 25.— Three mines
paid dividends today — the Red Top, 10
crnts a share, amounting: to $85,450; tbe
Mohawk, 30 cents, amounting: to $213.
000, and the Consolidated, 10 cents,
amountinjr to $360,000.
, The greater part of the Red Top and
Mohawk's distribution goes to the Qo»
*olidated company, which owns virtual
ly all of the stock. The directors of the
company met, today, but adjourned to
Wednesday without transacting busi
rpgs. At the Wednesday meeting the
question of future dividends will be d!s-
Miseed. Mackenzie, the new manager,
will report as to conditions. It is un
derstood that tbe directors will consider
the Immediate construction of a mill
of large capacity. Vice President George
Wingfleld said today: ,
"The company has a sufficient surplus
of funds to continue to pay dividends
without shipping any more ore for the
present. I cannot say what action will
be taken In the matter of further dis
tributions until the meeting of the di
rectors."
The company has ceased shipping to
the smelters and is treating about 105
tons a day at the Combination and Kin
k»ad mills, which is not sufficient to
pay the 10 cent monthly dividend.
Mohawk, however, has been a heavy
shipper for the last .three months and
has earned considerable money from
royalties. The Consolidated, counting
the Mohawk treasury, the greater part
of which belongs to that company
through its holdings of Mohawk stock,
has a h^avy surplus, enough probably
to pay 10 cents a share each month for
Fix months. «.
The Combination mill is earning
about $120,000 a month, and the Kln
kr^ad mill, which is running on Red Top
ore, probably $12,000 a month. The
smelter situation, however, looks very
unpromising, and it will require, the
better part of a year for the company
to install its reduction works. Consid
ering these conditions, it perms prob
able that the directors will decide to
pass the dividends for the time being.
TO CINCH UNCLE SAM
IN COAL FOR THE FLEET
Speculators Plan to Secure
Control of All
Shipping
WASHINGTON, Xov>2s.— The infor
mation has leaked out that the navy
department •is to make a heavy pur
vhare of coal* within a couple of months
for delivery on the Pacific coaet in time
for the use of the battleship fleet upon"
its arrival. Speculators who obtained
tuis Information are at work attempt
ir.£ 'to secure control of all available
domestic and foreign shipping, and it
is pop^iliJe that the government will be
forced to pay an exorbitant rate.
The department is embarrassed on
the coal question because of the fact
that its appropriation is exhausted and
it must ask congress for an urgent
deficiency appropriation. It is doubt
, ful whether or not the additional coal
needed for the. fleet can be contracted
for until congress has authorized such
action, ar.d accordingly the department
is not expected to advertise for bids
for delivering the new supply until Jan-
Hear Admiral Cowles, chief of the
bureau of equipment, when asked re
garding the deportment plans, said to
day that lie supposed bids would be
asked for during January, but he had
been so busy preparing for the de
parture of the fleet that he had not
reached the subject.
The department is using extraordi
nary precautions to preserve secrecy
t:e£arding the movements of the fleet
j'fter it reaches San Francisco. Sec- j
retary Metcalf and some of his subordi
nates deny that Japan has officially in
vited the president to send the fleet to
that country. Authentic information is
at hand from naval officers, 'however,
which confirms the report.
The navy department is trying to
keep the exact destination of the new
coal supply from the public, as that
information would answer the question
'whether or not the fleet is to visit the
orient. If the vessels, go to Japan it
is probable that the coal to be pur
chased soon will be sent to San Fran
cisco, Honolulu and Guam. The fleet
will not have much coal to so on after
its arrival on the coast, and if it re
mains several months, as now planned,
Jt must be supplied soon.
Approximately 100,000 tons will be
consumed In the cfulse to the coast.
If the fleet is ordered home vfa Japan
and Suez not less than 1 60,000 tons of
coal will be sent to the Pacific coast
and will mean an expenditure approxi
mately of $1,000,000.
