miles from the village OF Kinsale. and is
made still more interesting by the fact
that George Washington attended Sun

The building is brick, covered with

by u strong brick wall. Just back OF
the church Is a large graveyard. pretty

made OF brass, which formerly occupied

At the foot Of the hill Is a spring of

WHY 1T FAILED.
Rock Upon Which the Proposed
Consolidation Spiit.

A statement addressed by A. c.
Ellis, Jr., secretary Of the Tonopah
and Salt Lake Mining company, to
its shareholders has just revealed
the text of the proposition on which
its projected amalgamaton with the
Gold Hill and other holdings in the
Nevada camp went to pieces. In
brief, the proposition, promulgated
by the other side, was capitalized by
amalgamated interests at 81, 600, 600,
divided into as many shares OF the
par value of 81 each. 1t was pro-
posed in the allotment that the Gold
Hill should receive 400, 600 shares,
the Fraction $50, 600 shares, the
Tonopah City company l25, 600, the
owners of piece of outlying terri
tory %, 600 shares and the Salt Lake
company 300, 600, the balance of70O0O0
to 20 into the treasury. OF course
this was rejected, ard thereupon the
Tonopah and Salt Lake companys
shareholders voted unanimously to
increase the number of its shares
from 300, 600 to 500, 600, the increase
to be placed in the treasury and sold
at 81 per share, the stockholders to
be permitted to subscribe before any
third party's orders are filled. The
subscriptions have now begun, and
from the manner in which they are
now arriving from parties conversant
with the properties and ore bodies
already exposed would Indicate that
few shares will be permitted to go
upon the open market. The pro-
ceeds of the subscription are to be
applied to the payment of the com
pany's Indebtedness, to the further
development of the mines that are es-
teemed among the best in the camp
and to such equipment as shall be re-
quired to get the best results out of

quartz was again struck, and in all
eight feet of ledge was gone through
before the other wall was found.
Assays from the entire width Of vein
give average returns of over 500 to

The strike is regarded as one of
the most important yet made in Cd

it is one which should doubly enhance
the value of the mine.
