The PICNIC Company.

AS stated elsewhere in these columns,
the Incorporation of the Picnic Mining
company will be perfected within a day
or two.
The basis of the incorporation is a
group of five valuable claims at Silver
City, this state, adjoining the South
Swansea and Four Aces mines on the
south
Considerable work has already been
done in the development of the Picnic,
and in one portion of the property a
fine body of shipping ore, from one to
two feet in width, has been exposed,
but, on account of financial embarrass-
ment on the part of the original own
ers of the ground, development could
hot be prosecuted as desired, but now
that the property is in the hands of a
strong company, and has good back
ing, il is expected that the disclosures
made during the coming summer will
be of a most important nature, espec-
tally as a. steam hoist will be erected
on the property within the next two
months, when deep sinking viii be the
order of the day.
The Picnic has been a temptation to
well informed mining men for a long
time, the refusal of the owners to part
with it being the only reason why it
has not changed hands long ago, but
now that this ground has been merged
into an Incorporation, and there will be
treasury stock for sale, there is no
doubt but that it will become one Of
the popular securities with the invest
ing public.
The officers of the new company will
be: Gill S. Peyton, president; E. II.
Bushanan, vice president and treas
urer, and w. H. Tibballs, secretary.
