A NEW INCORPORATION.
A Company Formed for the Develop
ment OF Lyon County Properties.

Articles of incorporation of the
Dividend Mining Co. have been filed
with the Secretary of State, in Car
son. This company has been form
ed for the purpose of buying, sell
ing, leasing, working by several
processes quartz mines, placer mines
and tailings deposits in Lyon
County. The principal place of
business is Dayton, and the present
officers of the company are as fol-
lows: J. H. Rae, President; F. w.
Fairbanks, Vice President; w. J..
Douglass, Secretary; Bullion Bank,
of Carson, Treasurer; J. H. Rae,
General Manager; Trustees, J. H.
Rae, S. P. Davis, State Controller,
w. ]. Jones. Attorney General, F.
w. Fairbanks, John Lothrop, Dist.
Atty. Lyon County, w. J. Douglass,
Deputy Clerk of Storey County and
w. r. Davis, Governors Private
Secretary. The capital stock of the
company is 10000 shares, of the
par value of 81 each, full paid up
and nom assessable.
There are known to be some val
liable properties in the way of
mines in this section of Lyon Coun.
ty, and as it seems to be almost i'm
possible to induce any of the
wealthy residents of the State to
take hold of these properties it is
the intention of this company to
try and raise funds to carry on a
little legitimate mining in the State.
For this purpose $4,000 shares of
stock have been placed in the treas
ury, 10000 of which will be put on
the market to raise what money
may be required.
The company already has some
valuable mining property. 1t has
bond on the Carson mine, in
Como, and owns the extension of
that ground, called the Columbia.
On the former piece of property
considerable work has been done.
A shaft is down 300 feet and cross
cuts have been run at various levels.
There is also steam hosting plant
on the mine of sufficient capacity
to do all the hosting required and
sink deeper, if necessary. However,
there are from 5000 to 25, 900 tons
of ore in sight in the mine at pres
ent, assays of which show it to aver
age about $13 per ton, IS per cent.
of which is gold.
The company has also an option
on the Douglass tailings below Day
ton, and has found a method by
which they can be worked at fair
profit.
Besides these properties the COM
pany has located several valuable
placer claims on the other side OF
Como, which, when water is being
pumped from the mines at that
place can be worked on large pay
ing basis.
In connection with the above the
company has an option on a water
right on the Carson River, about
nine miles from Como, which car
be used for the purpose of general
ing all the electric power which will
be necessary to run the hoistine
plant at the mine and a complete
mill, which it contemplates build
ing.
1t is the intention of the com
pany to put in one of, if not the
most complete plant in the State
The ore from the mines will bt
treated by the most improved
methods. After crushing it will b.
concentrated and then treated by

Says Santiago Expedition Not an
Engineering Campaign,
But a Race Between Physical Endurance Of
the Army and Cuban Malaria.
Had IT Stopped to Build Railroads
and Bridges, the Soldiers Would
Have Been ON Their Backs Be-
fore the Surrender, Instead of
After.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-There were
no witnesses before the War Investi-
cation Commission to-day, but the COM
mission received and gave out an affi-
davit from General Ludlow, now Mill
tary Governor of Havana, which the
General had forwarded in lieu of per-
sonally appearing in Washington
The typewriter affidavit was prin-
cipally in answer to the statements of
General Miles before the commission in
reference to the lack of preparation
made by the Engineer Corps, of which
he General Ludlow had been the
chief officer in the field.
Concerning General Miles instruc-
lions, General Ludlow says:
II was merely ordered in writing to
proceed to Tampa and accompany Cen
eral Skaters expedition and render
him all the aid in my power. This
was the only order had from General
Miles or any one else"
General Ludlow explained that on ar
irving at Tampa he found that General
Shafter had turned over the whole
matter of transportation and disem-
barkation to Colonel Humphreys of
the Quartermasters' Department, and
General Ludlow thereupon confined
himself to studying the problem of de-
Tense and roads around Santiago. He
did, however, buy two large deck scows
at Tampa, one of which was lost en-
route and the other did invaluable SER
vice at Siboney. He also tried to get
steam launches to aid in the landing,
but it was impossible, and he figured
that with the assistance of the navy's
boats all the force could be landed in
one day.
General Ludlow says that the Santi-
ago expedition was not an engineering
campaign, but race between the phys
zeal endurance of the army and the
Cuban malaria, and that if the "army
had stopped to build railroads and
bridges it would have been on it's back
before the surrender, instead of AFTER

The Temperature Higher for This
Season Of the Year
Than Has Prevailed Since Records Of
Weather Conditions Have Been Kept.
Danger That a Continuance Will
Result Disastrously for Fruit
and Grain Growers, Should
Heavy Frosts Occur During Feb
ruary and March.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-An I'M
usually warm wave for this time of the
year has been lowering over California
for the past three days, the tempera-
ture in the central part averaging about
80 degrees In some places 1t went Ear
above this figure. The present spell is
the warmest that has prevailed at TINS
season since records of weather condl-
tiops were kept. Should this weather
continue it will undoubtedly result dis
astrous1y for fruit and grain growers, as
the season will be rushed to such an ex-
tent that grain and fruit will commence
to show in advance of the season, and
will thereby suffer from the almost in
evitable frosts of February and March.
Should these frosts not occur, this
weather, if it does not continue too
long, will prove of great value to grow
ers, as it will result in earlier ship
ments of fruit to the Eastern and Eu-
ropean markets.

as a sort of sliding scale up to 10O,COO,
upon which the President could exercise
his ''well-known powers of elasticity"
He agreed with Dockery, he said, that
no President should be intrusted with
such power much less a man who was
seeking to wage war against a peo-
pie beyond the sea- in order to force
them to submit to a Government they
despised and repudiated.
Every man in the House. he declared,

it meant an army of 100000 by direct
enactment of Congress or by the will
of the President There was. he urged,
no reason why Congress should abrO-
gate and give to the President this ex-
traordinary power. He declared that
the bill would cost the treasury $780,
OC00G0 a year, and he warned the Re-
publicans that they would not dare go
to their constituents on the record.

army the less cost per man.
