various causes and the so-called stock
and mining newspapers have for two
Years past been advancing theories to
account for all manner Of things regard
ing which the public are anxious to get
news. Some of the organs have failed
to present any Of the reasons because
they were entirely ignorant of the facts
and others have simply arrived at their
erroneous conclusions by following the
dictation of the parties in whose pay
they are.
THE DIAMOND DRILI.
For three years past it has been a
well established fact that a bonanza of
colossal proportions has existed in the
north end. The ground occupied by
Sierra Nevada and Union has been
drilled from end to end and the result
perfectly well known. The represen-
tations that the drilling was made to
ascertain the presence of water was a
fraud and a blind. The drill is the most
powerful weapon ever placed in the
hands of the insiders. In the early days
when an ore body was only reached by
good, honest drifting it was not easy to
conceal the presence of pay ore. The
miners who ran the drift could always
make more by investing than keeping
quiet and the facts were sure to leak
out. With drill the case is different.
1t can be run only in the presence of
the management, and when not in use
can be locked. Under the keen eye
of the superintendent there is no chance
of miner getting an assay, or the SUI
perintendent and foreman can run it
alone. 1t can penetrate several hum
dred feet ahead of a drift and by it's
use the insiders can tell where bonanza
lies year before it is reached by drifts
or crosscuts.
SHARON TO THE FRONT.
1t was the original plan of the Bonanza
firm to make big deal all along the
line and Sharon, who had been laying
in the background watching for an OPP
portunity to retrieve his prestige and
fortune, knew of this intention. His
henchmen gave out that he had dis
posed of all his interests in the ledge
and would never touch it again. All
this while he was quietly absorbing the
south end mines for political and finan-
cial purposes. Sharon now has the con-
troll of Chollar, Alpha, Imperial, Potosi,
Confidence, Jacket, Kentuck, Crown |
Point, Belcher and Overman. Now no |
sane man will suppose that he made all |
these investments for mere pastime.
THE JEWS TAKE A HAND
The Jews also got wind Of coming |
events and played their cards with
good success. The Jews now control |
Savage, Justice and New York. Their
mining fight for the Savage under the
lead of Hoeflich and Heating was a
splendidly managed affair and they
won because the Bonanza firm did not |
dare to make an open coin struggle for
the mine. They did not wish to have
the idea go out that they cared much
for the mine, and therefore only offered
a small premium for stock to use in
voting at the annual election. "Why
should any one want the old water
logged Savage:" Simply because if
one crowd can handle the assessments
of a mine without ore or prospects, and
make it pay, why cannot another crowd
do just as we'll out of the public? These
are problems which are very interesting
to the public. Meanwhile the Cooks
had secured the Alta and the McDer-
NIT crowd the Bullion.
BONANZA INTERESTS.
This leaves the Bonanza firm with
Utah, Sierra Nevada, Mexican, Ophir,
Union Con-, California, Con. Virginia,
Best & Belcher, Gould 4 Curry. No in
an interest but not all they
want. This is their supposed owner
ship at present, yet in fight for the
control of any Of the above named
mines except Sierra Nevada and Union
Con-, it is strongly probable that they
could not win square trick. Their
