Fred Massie was "a years old and
"a young man of much promise as
well as an excellent miner. His
widow, formerly Miss Bcilace, is at
present in the city of San Diego, and
their 2-year-old daughter is with her.
Mrs. Massie is in feeble health Be
sides his mother and brother, the de-
ceased leaves two sisters, one of
whom is Mrs. William Granholm of
Grass Valley, while the other lives at
Town Talk with her mother. His
father is at present in Forest Hill,
Placer county.
Fred Massie and his young wife
were residents of Tonopah, New,
before he went to Mexico, and their
little girl was the first white child
born 10 that camp.

HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Death of n Former TOnOpah Boy
in Cananea, Mexico.

The Nevada County Miner of re-
cent date says a telegram has been
received in that city by Mrs. E. M.
Massie of Town Talk announcing that
her son, Fred, had died of injuries re-
ceived by being caught by cave.in
that occurred at the mine in Ca
nanea, Mex, where he has been
working for a year and half as
tlmberman The telegram was sent
by John Bond, formerly resident
mere, but at present working in the
Cananea district.
Immediately upon receipt of the

A Nevada paper, in commenting
On the condition of the market for
Tonopah mining stocks, says that
nearly all of the leading mining
companies of the camp are overcapi-
talized, being Incorporated for 1000
OO0 shares" "The trouble is there
are too many shares says this au-
thority
The writer of the article was not
well informed, for there is only one
company, the Tonopah- Belmont, CAPT
talized at 1000, 600 shares, and with
the present showing and equipment
Il would bear a capitalization of s..
100000 shares at 81 par. The same
may be truthfully said of the Tono-
pah Mining company and Montana
Tonopah, each of which is capitalized
with ], 600, 600 shares at 81 par value.
While the capitalization of com
pany represents, or should repre-
sent, the value OF its holdings, it
does not follow that the entire
amount of stock representing the
capitalization is or will ever be
issued In producing mines it is
rarely necessary to issue more than
the original treasury stock, and in
many instances it is not necessary to
issue all of that.
Nor are dividends paid on the en-
tire capitalization except in rare
cases For example:
The Amalgamated Copper company
is capitalized with l55, 900, 900 shares,
but dividends are paid only on l,538,-
S79 shares, the amount issued. The
Anaconda Copper company of Mon
tana is capitalized with 10000, 900
shares, but pays dividends only on
1900, 600 shares Of issued stock.
The Alaska Treadwell is capitalized
with 3, 200, 900 shares, Of which only
200, 900 shares of issued stock draw
dividends. The Boston & Butte is
capitalized with 2,00O. O00 shares and
pays dividends on 200, 600 shares, the
amount issued. The Quicksilver Pre-
ierred of California has capitaliza-
ton of "a, 300, 900, but pays dividends
only on 43, 900 shares that being the
