TREADWBLL's RICHES.
He Brings Suit Against the Unit.
ed Verde COMPANY.

In the United States Court at Wash
ington, Prof. Geo. A. Tread well is suing
the United Verde Copper Company and
Senator Clark, and asks for the ap.
pointment OF q receiver.
Mr.. Treadwell claims to own 62e
shares OF the United Verde Copper
company stock, which he SAYS are worth
sis6, 900. He alleges that he was dam
aged by the sale of the concern to a
company OF the same name organized
In West Virginia.
In his testimony Senator Clark said
that when he acquired the property he
found 1t in very bad condition and he
had to put good deal of capital into
the mines to make theni profitable.
In answer to question concerning
the contract between the United Verde
and Lewissohn Bros, he said that II
the United Verde company had, in
1898, gone into the market and sold the
product OF Its mines irect to the trade,
panic might have resulted. Under con-
tract Lewissohn Bros. took the entire
product OF the United Verde m ines.
II was better business for a company
like his to sell their output in bulk
rather than for them to go into the
market and retail it. The idea was TO
do away with competition as much as
possible.
Senator Clark was asked whether he
had received letter from Treadwell
dated August 0, 1898, and he replied
that he might have received it, but he
was not sure, The letter was read as
follows:
Yours of the 5th inst. just received.
You ask me II thought of disposing OF
the shares hold inthe United Verde
company. My reply Is mo" / don't
care to sell Sixty millions OF dollars
may seem large, but the property will

q wedge in the market. You know |
have not had an accounting for years,
also have not been allowed TO see the
underground developments. You no
doubt think 1t policyto get my price
before you let me see the greatest known
mine In the world. IL is reported that
the mine has large quantity of gold
ore, over $500 per ton. Do you want
to buy the Boston copper mines,
three miles north OF Peck mines, north
erly end of Bradshaw mountains,
Arizona?
GEORGE A. TREADWELL.
The Senator went into long state
ment as to how to form basis OF val
uation In buying a mine. He said
people were very cautious in buying
and usually cut the apparent value in
two in making offers for mining prop
erty. He said that market fluctuations
had to be taken into consideration in
establishing the value OF a mining prop
erty. He testified that the United
Verde mine had not been tested over
700 feet below the ground surface.

There Is a carefully guarded rumor
afioat In mining circles, end yet one
which appears to be well authenticated,
that the Guggenheims are negotiating
fer the purchase OF the Rocco Home

now owned by the Rocco Homestake.
Nevada Mining Company.
It is learned that m option on tbs1
majority of the stock has been secured
by the Guggenheim Bros, after the
property had been thoroughly expert
ed by their representatives, and that
the recent purchases Of adjoining claims
by members OF the present company
were made for the purpose OF turning
them over to the new syndicate, whose
policy Is TO operate their properties on
large scale.
The Rocco Homestake 10 one Of the
richest lead mines In the west and
since Its stock was lated on the Salt
Lake Exchange ayear ago has paid
regular monthly dividends to lie stock
holders, Notwithstanding the fact shat
the ores are shipped Nh tho way to

Discovered In the Eastern Part Of
white Pine County.
The Salt Lake Tribune contains the
following account Of . new And just
made In the vicinity Of Deep Creek, this
county:
A rich sample Of orc Was brought to
Frank D. Wilson yesterday from the
Glencoe District In White Pine county,
Nevada. Just west Of the Deep Creek
country. The ore was obtained on
ground leased by Frank Weed under .
bond and lease. and carries 900 ounces
In silver to the ton and small values In

one which has been recently revived.
The party bringing the orc could not
give exact figures as to the find, but he
said that Il was represented to be In

"Word reached here today OF the
finding, In northern Sonora, Mexico,
OF ancient silver nsines OF great size.
"In the Altar district, near Tubuta-
ma, 9 party OF American miners, head
ed by Charles Con O'Keefe, an Arizona
mineral expert, came upon a mine
dump of enormous proportions grown
entirely over with timber. Searching
further. they found sealed entrance
to the workings and breaking this
down they discovered what once was a
mine OF extraordinary size. Near the
entrance was a big pile of silver ingots
and tools. Further In was number Of
skeletons. They partially explored the
workings and found millions OF tons Of
silver ore In sight.
s'The mine is believed TO have been
worked by Toltecs or Aztecs and likely
closed hundreds OF years ago, when In
dians drove the race from the country" !"
Just why mines worked by prehis-
toric races, or even at more recent
date by unknown or forgotten miners
should be supposed to be any richer
than those opened up at the present
day is not explained, but 1t is always
the case. The discovery of mysteri-
GUS hole in the ground is invariably the
occasion for foolish story OF fabulous
deposits OF mineral, and yet, never thus
far in the history of mining operations
has one OF those old workings proved
to be mine OF even ordinary merit.
The mining romancers who periodic
ally furnish fairy tales like the above
should compare notes with the prac-
tical prospectors and metallurgists who
are content to find mining properties
that are termed slow grade"

TAKING PATENTED MINES.

Al the present time the newspapers
of the entire State are clamoring for q
law providing for the taxing OF patent
ed mines, evidently overlooking the
fact that the required legislation has
already been enacted.
At the next election an amendment
TO the State Constitution will be sub
mitted TO the voters for their approval
or rejection, which, II adopted, as 1t
doubtedly will be, should remedy all
she evils now complained OF.
Tho Amendmen was passed by the
last two Legislatures as provided by
law and only needs TO be ratified by q
msjority OF the voters at the next elec
tion TO become q part Of the Constitu'
.ion. The following is the full text OF
the Amendment:
Assembly Concurrent Resolution Rel
alive to Amending the Constitution
OF the State OF Nevada; Pertaining
TO the Assessment and Taxation OF
Patented Mines.
Resolved by the Assembly, the Sen.
ate concurring, That the Constitution
OF the State OF Nevada be amended so
as to read as follows:
Amend Section l, Article X, OF the
Constitution OF the State OF Nevada,
80 that the same shall read as follows:
SECTION l. The Legislature shall
provide by law for uniform and equal
rate OF assessment and taxation, and
shall prescribe such regulations as shall
secure Just valuation for taxation oil
all property, real, personal and pos
sessory, except mines and mining claims
when not patented, the proceeds alone
Of which shall be assessed and taxed,
and when patented the acreage thereof
shall be assessed and taxed upon val.
uation OF ten dollars per acre In addi-
tion TO the tax upon the net proceeds;
and also exempting such property as
may be exempted by law for municipal,
educational, literary, scientific or other
charitable purposes.
II TO this provision 10 added later
requiring the owners of patented mines
20 keep their boundary stakes In POSI-
tlon we believe the Law will meet all
requirements.
At the present time there are scores
OF patented mining claims In this part
of.the State, the owners Of which have
not been heard from for years and 1t Is
altogether probable that In many cases
the pstentees have passed to their hnal
reward, leaving their legal heirs, II
they had any, uninformed as to their
heritage.
We do not believe there Is any dis.
position on the part OF the people OF
this state TO place an exhorbitant value
on mining claims. the idea being to
compel the patentees to exercise their
right OF ownership, or, failing In this,
that others who may desire to develop
the properties may acquire the right
to do so.
