MINING NOTES.

The name of Rollin Station, on the i New Mexico and Arizona railway, has been changed to Patagonia. The rail- way company will erect a depot and make regular stops with all trains, says the Nogales Vidette. It will be the station for the rapidly growing mining region now developing in the Patagonias, and will be one of the most important points on the railway between Nogales and Benson. James NJ. Taylor of St. Louis, Mo. represent ing Ben CratZ, one of the most promi- nent capitalists of the Missouri me- tropolis. has purchased the Bullion mine. three miles from Patagonia sta tion and is preparing to prosecute work on an extensive scale.
 According to reports from the vari- ous mining districts of Arizona, more money is being spent in development work and machinery than during any period in the history of the territory. It is also noteworthy. says the Nogales i Vidette, that the work is all either for i the treatment of ore or for the develop ment of ore bodies in sight. The result will be a yield of cash returns amount | ing in the aggregate to a sum of mon ey in excess of the amount predicted ! for a period four or five years hence. 1 The year 1899 has been a history mak CT for the mining industry in Arizona. The succeeding year will surpass it. James Barrett came in yesterday | from his mines near Red Rock in Pinal county. MT.

 The legitimate object of a corporation is to permit large business ventures to be operated by large number of small contributors whose personal liability is limited to the amount of their contri- buttons to the corporate fund. The theory of the law is that such stock holder shall be liable to lose the face value of the stock held by him and that if he shall not have contributed the full face value of his stock to the corporate fund that he shall be held liable for the balance to the creditors of the corporation; that stockholders who represent to the world that they have contributed $50,OOO to the corpor- ate fund and obtain credit for the cor poration on that basis should be re- quired to make that representation good-Mining Reporter.
