VEST GRANITE.
lCONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.

G. S. Gardner stakeholder in tie
West Granite, in behalf of himself and
others, has issued circular to the stock
holders of that company, attacking the
plan of reorganization proposed by the
syndicate. and substituting in its stead
the following: .,
"Let new company be organized by
stockholders of the West Granite Go
and let every holder have the privilege
of exchanging his present stock for
stock in the new company at the rate of
two shares of old stock for one share Of
the new, and in addition to this, let him
have the privilege of buying an equal
number of shares of the new stock at
sixty cents share (Which is equivalent
to thirty cents a share for tho present
stock.) This would bring into the
treasury S150,O0U, provided all the old
stockholders availed themselves of the
opportunity of buying a number of
shares equal to the number gotten IN
exchange for old stock, those who did
not elect to purchase new stock. could
leave it IN the treasury, and it could
either be sold at once to other stock
holders or be retained in the treasury as
treasury stock. If one half OF the old
stockholders decided to take as much Of
the new stock as they would be entitled
to buy, it would place in treasury $751;
600, which would pay the present indebt-
edness of $50,O0) and leave $25,O0O as a
working capital and there would still re-
main in the treasury 125,0O0 shares of
the new stock which at present prices
would yield large amount in excess of
what the syndicate proposes to pay fer
it."
This will hardly work, as the syndicate
have corraled the necessary two-thirds
stock to carry out their plans.

The Frisco Adverse.

Phillpsburg, April II, 1857.
Editor PHIL1psBuRG MA1L-In the
issue of your journal of the llth inst.
certain structures arc made upon the
conduct OF the owners and locatOrs OF
the Uncle Sam" lode mining calm, in
this district. which, # extended very
general circulation, would tend to con-
yey to those not fully Informed the ia
ference that the differences presently ex-
listing between the Frisco" mining
company and myself are based upon the
fraudulent pretence that | was endeav
oring to make them pay for something
that some time in the past had sold to
them. I beg to assure you that no
business of any kind has ever been
transacted between myself and either
Mr.. Kennel, or any other representative
of the Frisco" company. | would fur
ther respectfully state that | was the
owner and fully possessed of the Uncle
Sam location as early as January 1st,
1856, and as this date is in advance OF
any set up by the Frisco" I am sure
that there is no cause for me to fear the
scathing remarks of the terrible Wilbur
+, S. when Oilr cause shall come for trial.
In conclusion, dear sir, I am entirely
willing to abide by the decisi)n of the
courts of " ontana, and as this Is an ls
sue between a corporation and an lndl
yilual. it occurs TO me that spirit OF
fair dealing ought to guarantee me an
even break in my struggle against cor
norate power and wealth. [ am, sir. re-
spectfully yours,

GRANITE MOUNTA!N.

The output for the week ending
April II, was 46 bars of bullion, con-
tanning 75,771.81 ounces silver and 1892
ounces gold.
It will be seen from the above that the
output of the Granite is increasing.
When the new mill furnishes it's full
quota, the output ought to be 125,COO
ozs. week. At present the greatest sill
yer producer is the Broken Hill mine in
Australia. The GRANTEES output wiz
exceed that of the Broken Hill by 25,OOO

Austin, Nevada, turned ont the richest
ore in the United States. The mill pulp
averaged $3.50 ton. Austin in its best
days had 6,0O0 people. 1t is now a dead
camp.
The famous Homestake mine IN the
Black Hills ls one of the worlds great
mines in this respect: It has paid between
four and five million in dividends on gold
ore that averages about five dollars a
ton. OF course they have an immense
quantity of ore, and perfect system of
extracting. It is claimed that the
Homestake is the best and cheapest run
mine in the world.
The total assessments of the Sierra
Nevada mine at Virginia City amount to
S6.150,0O0, dividends ST. 1900 The
.OYerman mine, at the same place, has
been assessed 50, 800, and never paid
a dividend. The stockholders of the
Bullion. Virginia City, have paid s4,OO7,-
600 out Of their pockets, and never re-
ceived cent in return.
The greatest gold NINE in the world is
owned by the Juachoea Co. in h1li. It
pays annually s6,0O0,0OO in dividends.
Tue mine is 500 miles from the coast,
and 5000 it. above water level. Coal
at the mine costs $3.50 ton, being pack
ed one hundred miles on mules.
twenty-five hundred men are employed
at - to $3.50 day. The width OF the
pay ore varies from 81 to feet. The
daily product is eighty tons, averaging
$21W per ton. Ore OF less value goes
into the dump.

WHOLE NO. III.
Sickness in this Community.

During the past three weeks there has
community, particularly at Granite,
where the cases seem to be the most
fatal A strange fact is that the sickness
is confined to men, principally those who
work in the mines and around the mills.
Quite number of miners at Granite
became alarmed and left the place In
consequence the Granite company last
week telegraphed DR. Baldwin OF
Helena and DR.. Leayitt of Butte to
come over and investigate the cause Of
the sickness These gentlemen were Of
the opinion that the prevailing sickness
was pneumonia OF a malignant type, IN
tensified by the high altitude of Granite
Three OF the recent deaths, however,
were caused by acute cerebral meningitis.
| and could not be classed with the deadly
pneumonia. The doctors were further of
the opinion that the sickness at Granite
was not the result Of sanitary condi-
tions, nor was it aggravated by the
smoke from the mills, but was mostly
due to the rare atmosphere
There IS no doubt that the daInpness
OF the air IN the mines makes the miners
more susceptible to the attacks of pneu-
monia than those who work on the out
side. The difficulty in treating patients
at Granite is that strong medicines can
not be given. as it causes sinking of
The heart.
There Is no serious sickness in Philips
burg, although large number are
affected with colds and sore throats. It
is supposed that heavy rain and
change of weather, which for several days
has been inclement. will dispel the pre-
vailing sickness.
Thos. Maroney, uncle Of John g.
Maroney, died at Hasnark Tuesday of
pneumonia. He was G7 years old. He
was an old time prospector and miner,
we'll known and we'll liked by all.
Peter Smith died at Has1nark Wednes-
day morning of peritonites, followed by
perforation of the bowels.
DR.. Allen reports that J. Call of Rum
sey, who has been very low with pneu
nlonia, is improving.
Jas. Berry, Of Tower, is sick with
pneumonia, but not dangerously.
