SAYS COMPANY
Is ALL RIGHT
Elk City Man Defends the Pros
pectuS Recently Alleged as a
fraudulent Scheme

Correspondence in the Elk City Min
7 ing News throws some light on the
alleged attempt TO defraud by wild cat
ting in the circular and prospectus sent
ont from New York purporting to set
/ out the advantages offered investors by
the Imperial Corona company of Elk
City.
DR.. u. Il. Strong writing to the Miner
under the date OF January %, says:
L know positively, thatt he directors
Of the Imperial Corona Mining COM
pauy 'unquestion are, by common re-
pute most reliable business men, with
the very best of local standing.
Therefore it is highly unjust and
uucalled for to say the least, TO uncer-
enormously brand them broadcast as
"swindlers," etc, either directly or in
directly without having first carefully
looked into the real merits of the case.
And it may be that all parties thus in
volved may not content themselves
with a simple apology from your paper.
even though you offer It them in ad-
vance.
Corona group of mines is wild cat?
Is it worthless property that stands
as a basis for a wholesale swindle, as
the critics claim?
This is the real and only practical
point at issue and concerning which it
is our duty and right to safe guard
our interests, as a new mining camp.
Now, SO far as the Imperial Corona
mining group of claims is concerned,
have visited the property and gathered
sufficient reliable data concerning lit o
be thoroughly convinced, that it has as
great and as real an intrinsic value, as
any other group of prospects, with the
same development, in this whole sec
ton.
Consequently, it is not nor can it be
classed in any way, as a wild cat"
on the contrary, it is one of the most
remarkable surface showing l have
ever seen in any mining camp. and my
experience, in this line, has extended
over much country in this and the old
world. and during a period of over 25
years
To be sure the richest lead on the
property is comparatively small for this
mining district being but from IL to
20 inches wide on the surface. But
the vein is well defined and lies be-
tween contact walls and is a true ifs
sure, cutting the formation. Besides
the ore body is widening out going
H.
$50 feet through to crosscuts, with
the ore averaging in every one of them
not only one hundred dollars, but the
assays across the lead run up into the
hundreds of dollars.
Consequently it is perfectly proper
to conclude that any money legitimate
ly expended on this property for devel-
opment purposes, is very likely to re-
turn profit of from 10 to 20 fold and
perhaps more"

PROPOSED CHANGE IN LAND LAW

The recent disclosures of fraud In
connection with the entry and sale of
public land will probably he the cause
OF protr1cted discussion when bills
making changes in the present laws
come up for consideration in the pres
ent congress, An attempt will be made
TO correct the abuses that have unde~
niably become fragrant. and Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota has al
ready introduced one bill which he
says will prove remedy for some of
the evils that have recently given rise
to serious complaint.
The Hansbrough bill by implication
repeats the timber and stone act. under
which land is now acquired at $3.50 an
acre regardless of its value The sec
rotary of the interior is authorized to
secure estimates of the value of tim
Der on public lands and to sell the right
to cut and dispose of the same to the
highest bidder The title to the land
will remain in the government, and the
secretary of the interior may fix the
time In which the purchaser of the
right shall remove the timber. The
right to cut the timber and make 1t a
merchantable quantity is made inalien-
able.
n the measure becomes a law. timber
land would be withdrawn from entry
and the government would enter upon
the policy of disposing of its timber al
the market value. The bin prohibits
the entry of the lands under the home
stead or other land laws and forbids
the laying Of scrip thereon. The author
of the bill claims that II 1t Is enacted
It would bring the government consid.
cradle revenue: that by retaining It'll,
TO the land. demonstration will take
place, and that an end would be put t.
the frauds that have recently grown
into national scandal.
The real merits of the measure will
not be disclosed until 1t has been thor.
oughly examined and discussed Tn,
question may arise whether disposinl
OF the timber to the highest bidder vii
