ing Their Capital.

During the war between the United
States and Spain, special war tax
was imposed upon the capital Of cor
porations. This caused a number Of
the mining companies which had a
large authorized capital for working
purposes to reduce the same to nomin-
al figures and the par value Of most
Of the Comstock mining stocks were
cut down from 800 to 81, 81 and So
per chare. The war tax having been
removed and the capital in some cases
having become too small for working
purposes, a large number Of the Com
stock mining companies are increas-
ing their capital to the original fig
ures. The number of shares in the
compaies will remain the same. New
companies are being formed to hold
and operate the claims which the
Comstock company owns on the
Brunswick lode, SO as to keep the in
terests seperate and distinct and the
stockholders Of these Comstock COM
panies will receive as many shares
in the new Brunswick companies as
are now held in the Comstock corpora,

Moapo is now enjoying q foretaste
OF the prosperity that is sure to come
soon. Already the freight billed for

surrounding points is unloaded here
and the amount OF goods handled will
increase rapidly. The mining indus

the development Ct this part OF the
county Scores Of prospectors are
securing the hills in different direc-
lions and some fine prospects are be-
ing uncovered. 1t looks as If num-
Der of good mines would be opened
up soon.
The ground between Moapa and
Searchlight has been gone over TO
look up a route for a railroad and Il
is probable that preliminary survey
will be made as soon as the main line
is completed.
A scheme for building a canal to
carry the unappropriated waters OF
the Virgin into the Muddy Valley is
being considered. 1t is claimed that
in this way several thousand acres OF
first class land can be brought under
cultivation.
The grade on the San Pedro is now
completed about ten miles below the
Vegas and the track is laid about half
of that distance From the end Of the
rails on the north end to that on the
south is a distance of about eighty
miles about two-thirds of the grade
on which is completed. About ten
miles below the Vegas is a big tun-
mel and here shoe fly tract will be
put in for the present. The track is
one of the best in the west wide road

IDENTIFY intended for heavy or fast
trains.
Just where the town will be laid out
is yet doubtful but it is generally be
lieved that it will be about mile
and half west Of the Vegas ranch
Down on the ranch is a street or
which the business houses are locat
ed. Most OF them are tents. Twc
stores, four restaurants, two mea
markets and about ten saloons are
doing business.
