OREFRON CENTENNIAL
Developments Proving Up a Re
markable Chute.
VERY LARGE AND RICH
ITS EXTENT IS as YET UNDE-
TERMINED.

From a source absolutely reliable
comes word that the great ore chute
in the Centennial Eureka mine. which
was followed down for distance of 10
feet in a Wine from the 200 level, is
proving simply marvellous in its extent
and richness. From the bottom of the
Wine a drift has been sent through it
for a distance of los feet and a cross
cut sent out thirty feet without any
indication of what the limits will prove
to he.
Ore from this wonderful deposit is
being mined as its development by the
work described progresses and when It
is known that the average shipping val
ue gives per, cent copper, IL ounces
silver and IL ounces gold per ton, some
idea of its Importance can be cleaned.
The management of the property.
which is accustomed to glad surprises
in the old bonanza are themselves as
tOnished at the showing which gives
promise of Outrivaling in extent any
ore chute ever developed in the state
not forgetting the immense chimneys
or deposits which the Silver King is
known 20 contain.
The further exploration of the mag
nificent deposit will be followed with
intense interest not only by the stock
holders in the company itself. but by
the mining fraternity at large.

COMPANY CHARGED WITH FRAUD
1FINANCIERING0 AS. DONE BY
CHICAGO CORPORATIONS.
Bill in Court Alleges Juggling With
Books to Give Street Railway
Stock a Fictitious Value.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-DireCt charges of
illegal and fraudulent contracts" and
false statements to stock exchanges are
made in a bill in chancery filed by
Sutro Brothers of New York against
the Chicago Union Traction company
and the Consolidated Traction. and the
answer to the bill filed by the Union
Traction company.
The bills are the result of the recent
merging of the Consolidated Traction
line with the Union Traction company,
which was accomplished by Charles T.
Yerkes. the main condition of which
was the granting of downtown con-
cessiOnS to the outlying lines and the
guaranteeing o. Sc, 100000 Az per cent
bonds issued in exchange for CONSOLE
dated stock. SutrO Bros denOunce the
contract as void and fraudulent on the
ground that no fair compensation was
given.
In answer to this charge and the Pc
titiOn flied later for an injunction, the
Union Traction company declares that
at the time of FOrmatiOn of the Con-
sOlidated cOmpu by the merging of
the seven suburba lines they had &C
cumulated a book surplus of only S2,91S;
but if the books of the suburban line
had been kept rightly, instead of by
fictitious methods" they would have
shown a deficit. 1t is also charged that
the seven companies were operated at
a loss of S56.314 from March 1; 1899. to
April 16, 1900, the date of the consolida-
ton with The Union Traction company,
and this this false statement of the
finances of the Chicago Consolidated
Traction company gave a fictitious
value to the stock" SutrO Brothers are

VALEO MINE LEASED,
John C. Boyle and Associates Get it
For a Year.


President Thomas Kearns of the Va
leo and manager of the great Silver
King, made his appearance at his of
nee again yesterday after an absence
of nearly week in the park He re-
ports that on Wednesday last the di-
rectors of the ValeO company awarded
lease of that mine to John c. BOYLE
and others for a period of six months,
with an option on six months addition
al time if they wanted il. This action
has been taken for the reason that de-
velopments on the lower tunnel level
have not proved all that was expected
and for the further purpose of seeing
the ground more thoroughly prospected
without expense to the company.
Mr.. Boyle has been the mine fore
man for the past three years and is full
ly competent TO carry explorations to a
successful end if the ore goes down and
that he believes it does is evidenced
by his willingness to work the proper
ty under lease. For the last two years
the mine has produced ore from the
upper workings sufficient to meet the
heavy expense of keeping from twenty
TO twenty-five men constantly employ
ed, but without a new discovery the
property had reached a point in it's
career where either a shutdown or as
Sessments were inevitable
The property is located in a part of
the district but little developed and
the outcome has been a gamble from
the start. "a nice chimney of ore has
been followed down for between 500
and 400 feet, but a well defined vein
has never been found on the lowest
level The search for the ore chute
opened above, which Mr.. Kearns re-
Gently likened TO "a worm hole in a
rotten log" has been diligent and per-
sistent, and should Lessee Boyle and
associates be fortunate in locating it the
mine will be given a new lease of life
and probably make a good property
after all.
