Wish To Fefute the common idea pre-.
Vailing In America that the Standards

could DE more at variance with their
true character. The great bulk OF NV
countrymen are Intensely Industrious.
They work very vigorously and during
ihuch longer hours than in nearly any
other civilized country and for extreme
ly moderate wages. Another erroneous
notion that Is widely cherished regard

evident to any student Of Spanish his

THE N. Y. 4 NEVADA.
Plans for q Reorganization Of the Com
pany Progressing Nicely.

Eastern advices state that the fnan-
olal affairs Of the New York a Nevada
Copper company, with properties at
Ely Nevada, are about TO be straight
cned out and that the future looks
much brighter to shareholders than II
did short time ago.
The receivers have received authon-
cation from court Of jurisdiction In
New Jersey, 10 accept $500 from $,
ID, Loring & Co.. Of Boston, to pay OFF
the company's debts; amounting to O
substitution Of creditors.
These developments, says an eastern
authority, are the result OF the steps
taken by certain interests to bring
about a reorganization Of the company,
Two committees were appointed, one by
the Philadelphia and the other by the
New York stockholders TO secure suffi-
cient capital to pay of the debts and
take the mines out Of the hands Of the
receivers. These committees, after
considering the disadvantages which
would follow either the issuing Of bonds
or the declaring Of voluntary assess
ment recommended the organization Of
q new corporation with s5,0000 900 capt.
tai, divided into 100000 shares of $40
each. All the other offers which were
received from outside parties desiring
TO assist the company, demanded that
the control Of the mines be felinquished
as the first step TO securing further
financial aid Under the present plan
II IL believed that the stockholders will
be fully protected
$. ID. Loring q Co. Of Boston have
announced their willingness to finance
the reorganization and unless there
should be new developments It Is be-
lleyed the deal win go through. Ac-
cording TO present plans li7 600 shares
OF the new company VIII be distributed
among the st ockholders Of the old conf
pany and $4,000 shares Will be sold
at 81 a share TO meet the advances made
by Loring a. Co for the buying up OF
the claims, Besides this. 10000 shares
will be sold at 81 to provide working
capital This offer permits Loring a.
Co 20 take up all the stock not other
wise sold
A company has already been organ
lied In Delaware with $1,000 900 capital
known as the Nevada Mining 4 Re-
ductlon Co. TO cary out the plans of
the committees. II Is probable the
capitalization will be increased to S5,-
100000 as contemplated In the circular
submitted TO the stockholders,

MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS

cillties have proven erroneous by the
operations of the past winter, and es-
peclally the operations OF the past week,
says the Mackey Telegraph. Conserya-
tive men have been saying that the
White Knob mine was not capable OF
furnishing ore fast enough to supply
six hundred ton smelter at any tim,,
and that the electric railroad was not
capable Of carrying IT. That while the
road might carry Il In summer yet
when winter came. when snow fen
deep with rain and sleet and heavy
freezing following IL, then the road
would remain closed till the warm days
OF May and June. When snow sheds
were suggested. these same men have
said that II would be necessary TO shed
the whole line The mine has been
developed during the winter so that
II not only supplies enough ore to Keep
one furnace going, but Is now supply,
ing two. The electric road transport
ed the ore all winter, and there have
been three or four days when no ore
was hauled on account OF the heavy
storms, In the deep cuts where the
snow plows could not throw the snow
out Of the way, shoveling Is relied on
10 keep II open, but during the coming
summer these places can be recovered
and protected. The past winter has
been a very favorable one for White
Knob operations because the heavy
SHOWS came IN the latter part OF winter.
Although the Precipitation still continues
II is taking the form of rain, and It Is
believed that the worst Is over. The ore
bins at the mine and smelter are large
enough 20 permit storing ore enough to
carry them over emergencies OF a few
days duration. Everything Ia moving
smoothly at the smelter, and each day
witnesses the loading Of car Of matte

The uneasiness abroad was allayed TO
a certa.. extent when the assurances
were sent out that the great bopanza

as well as on the eastern exchanges, A

to some forced selling and to no other
cause, Consolidated Mercur started off
weak, but gained strength as the call
progressed, the stock selling up to So
cents. Little Chief also displayed an
upward tendency and as much as four
