AN IMPORTANT CORPORATION.
To Work Ores and Supply Power
For Carson Valley.

This day there was filed with the
Secretary of State, articles of incor-
poration of the Hercules Mining, Mill
ing and Power Company, organized
under the laws of the State of Neva-
da, with capital stock of one mill
ion dollars, with principal place of
business at Gardnerville, Nevada, the
stock being fully subscribed, and the
incorporators being Peter Curtz, H.
W. Curtz, Morris Mack, Alfred Chartz
and Earl Christensen. The object of
the corporation is to carry on a gen.
eral mining business, and the reduc-
ton of ores, to buy and sell mines
and to buy, sell, operate and build re-
duction works for the reduction of
ores, and to locate, erect and build
power plants to use, supply and dis
tribute power to the general public,
and sell the same and operate the
same in the counties of Alpine, Cali
fornia, and Douglas, Nevada.
By the foregoing is meant, beside
mining and reduction of ores, the To-
cation and erection of power plants,
not only for the general purpose of
the corporation, but for public use in
Alpine and Douglas counties. The
company now OWL by location advan-
tageous sites on the several forks of
the Carson river, and they can use
power with either the Pelton or Lefell
wheel, according to conditions.
They can land an immense power
from the headwaters of the Carson
River clean to Virginia City, their f.
nal objective point, and supply power
for pumping the entire distance of
Carson Valley, for purposes of irriga-
ton, and for the operation of machin-
cry of all kinds on the way, and for
mining and milling purposes. The
field is simply immense, and limited
only by the amount of power the COM
pany can supply. There is in fact
plenty of room for others, and large
demand for more power-larger de-
mand than supply.
Take the immense bodies of low
grade ores of the Comstock, Silver
City, Como, Red Canyon, the Man,
moth, and other mining industries on
the way from the headwaters of the
Carson to Virginia City, and take the
agricultural interests lying between,
and the mind is irrisistably led to the
conclusion that power stock, to the
full power that can possibly be de-
veloped by water, and landed any,
where between the headwaters of the
Carson river and Virginia City, is
good stock-iust as good, or better,
than county or State bonds of any
kind.
Furthermore, it is something that
any one living in this section, and
having interest therein, should in
vest in, as matter of pride and pa
triotism for his section, and as matter
of selfish interest. If it is good in
vestment, the people of Alpine, Doug
las and Ormsby should hold the stock.
If it is good it will help to build up
and populate this section and enhance
property values of all kinds.
1t seems to be good because we are
aware that there is tremendous
amount of power on the Carson river go
ing to waste, and that it can be applied
cheaply, and that there is great de-
mand for its application for purposes
of irrigation, and general power for
farming purposes, and for the purpose
of mining and the reduction of ores
clear up to Virginia City.
The company had to pay $3.50 to the
Secretary of State for filing its papers.
