Can any one inform us how Mr.. Car
deza became possessed and the share
holders of the Wyandotte Company dis
possessed, OF the property.-[N. \. Min
ing Record.
The property was sold for taxes, and
according to law, the County Treasurer
attended the sale and bid it in for the
county and State. After the time of re-
demption had expired, Mr.. Cardeza no.
titled the county officials that he would
like to purchase the property and was
willing to pay the taxes and cost of sale
for the same. and he received County
Treasurers deed to the whole of the prop
erty. After securing this property, fol-
lowing the law strictly through the whole
transaction, he proceeded to pay off the
labor liens on the property. The trouble
with Eastern companies working mines
is, they do not understand the business
of silver mining. They start in with
company of few thousand dollars, and
after that sum is expended, they run the
mine in debt as deep as possible, then tell
the creditors to collect their money if
they can, and when they are on the eve
of success, they perfer losing the whole
Of the property than putting up a few
dollars more. If the the Pacific Coasters
had of conducted their mining operations
ON this plan, there would not to-day be
five mines on the whole coast working.
Four of the Wyandotte group of mines
are reported as containing good ore. We
do not mean ore that would pay to have
hauled in wagons hundred miles to get
worked, but if mill was near TEN Piute
it would yield handsome returns. Mr..
Cardeza has secured valuable property
for mere song.
AN OLD TIMER DEAD. Word reached
Bodie yesterday, says the Free Press of
the 10th, that Pat Holland, one Of the
best known men on the coast. had been
killed near Tombstone by being thrown
from buggy. The accident occurred on
the Sth Of June. Mr.. Holland and a
saloon-keeper were out riding, when the
horse took fright and ran off the grade.
Both men were thrown out, but Holland
struck against rock, and was so severely
injured that he expired soon after being
taken to town. The deceased was on old
mining camp discovered. He was a
pressman by profession and had been a
newspaper man for many years. While
in Bodie he conducted the Union, an ad.
vertising sheet. He owned an interest
in the first newspaper in Phoebe, and also
ran paper in Virginia City. AS joker,
Pat had no equal. Many friends in Cali
fornia and Nevada will regret to learn o.
his violent death.
THAT old veteran prospector, Richard
A. Riepe, who has worn all the hair of
from the top of his head by poking il
down in among the rocks in search o
blind lodges, reports that he has 'discov
cred q stringer forty feet wide that will
soon place his purse in plethoric condi
ton. He bids farewell, long farewell
to hash houses, etc. He intends following
up his stringer, which assays $1,000 il
silver.
