A transfer was effected on Tues

suit in operations of some magnitude
at that place very shortly.
The Charley Ross, Imperial

owned by Joe Vanina, Joe Delmue,
Andy Service and Hans Olson, and
whichwere bonded two months ago to
ID. Mcleod and j. V. Lane, we're
transferred, together with some adj
joining locations, to w. j. Nelson
Of Boston who is said to represent a
heavy syndicate of mining men.
The various parties were in town
from Sunday until Tuesday nrrang-
ing for the transfer Immediately
upon effecting it DR.. Nelson left for
Salt Lake, A company will be form
ed to handle the properties and the
virtues of Eagle Valley District will
notlong thereafter be left in doubt
The amount paid is a matter which
the parties kept to themselves, but
there was neat sum in the transac-
ton for the locators and the middle
men also. 1t ran well into the thous-
ands and is a sale on merit.
The properties have recently,
under work on the bond, developed

The name of the company is The
Stateline Gold Mining Company. Ii
is backed by Chicago capital and
Mr.. Alfred Popkiss is manager. Tie

with thirty horse power boiler, put
up so as the capacity can easily be
doubled if necessary. A large Gates

plant is now on the road from Salt
Lake and will be delivered here this
week.
In addition to the bonding uI .he
Creole, Goldbelt, and Utica, the
Stateline Company has bonded II

hides claims.
The Company is paying twenty
cents per hour for laborers and
S2.S5 a day for miners. Dick Rich,
the well known millman Of Panaca
has charge of the construction of the
mill.
In addition to this company an
other company has been organized

including the Independence and the
Cripple, and as soon as the papers
can be completed men will be put to
work on the claims. This company
will be managed by A. G.. Bast Of

some very rich ore.
j. b. Smithson who is working
three men on the burro claim will
