passed of in good style.
Mr.. Hsserman labored under the dis.
advantage Of having to read his speech
from manuscript. which detracted con-
sidsrably from the effect, and rendered
occasional side-switches OF personal elo-
qdsncs. departures from copy" so to
speak, unduly conspicuous; for instance.
where, in q streak Of eloquencs, he said:

SIERRA NEvAuA's ASSESSMENT.
Iodirustion Amo.g It's ssockhoId.
ers BsIow-wby she Assessment
Was Levied, Etc.

The San Francisco Post Of last evening
says /: The Sierra Nevada assessment
naturally caused, and is still causing.
much indignation among outside hold
ers, who realize that something like s25
per share has been levied upon them
since an ore body was found in the mine
two Years ago. And after this ore body
had been partially developed at great
expense It was found by survey that
most Of Il belonged 10 the Union Con.
solidated Mining Company. The pres.
emit assessment, w are told, 10 levied
TO restore to the Union Company the
value Of the ore which was at times
extracted, south Of the nswly-establishsd
line between the mines. and millsd.
The value Of this ore. together With the
accumulated interest. amounts to about
s8l, 900. The remainder Of the 500. 900
assessment Just levied IL to be devoted,
we are assured by the officials. to the
further development OF the mine. For
the sake of the stockholders II is hoped
that the future work Of development
will be carried on 30 far north Of the
line that should another ore body DO
found In Sierra Nevada, the Union Con-
solidatsd Company will have no posi-
Bile show to place its hands on II.
The inside people who run the
Sierra Nevsds Company must have
known Q week or more ago. when
the stock was booming" at Sl9
per share. and an o~ver-sxcited public
was absorbing It like hot eakos. that
such an assessment would be levied.
They must also have oomprshsndsd the
natural effect that such AN asssismsnt
would have on the market. III i, there
fore reasonable to assume that the stock
was sold heavily by the knowing onss.
who now have an opportunity to replsn'
ish their store ct greatly reduced prices.

While Union is working gradually

ton to follow that ore vein. This re-
minds OF a similar determination by
Ophir in regard to the Hardy vein. The
latter turned out nearly 50, 900, 900. II
Sierra Nevada can do as well with her
