Atwood.

George Coslett, well-known mining
man and one of the pioneer miners of
the west, came in yesterday from At
wood and brings glowing report OF
that prosperous and thriving camp.
Atwood now has in the neighbor-
hood of $50 people, " said Mr.. Coslett.
1.-TWO years ago some good finds were
made at Atwood and in that vicinity,
but the excitement attendant upon the
discoveries at Goldfeld in way put
Atwood in the shade and most of the
people in the district at the time pulled
up stakes and made for the new camp,
Frank Everett, however, being one
who stuck.
climbers are being hauled for &
forty-stamp mill, which is to be com
pleted before the first of the year
Norcross and Evans have shaft dowr
100 feet and have large body of ore
which is free milling and average:
from 10 to $15 per ton. 1t is large
low grade proposition and promises
very large output of precious metal.
Frank Everett and company have ;
very promising property, silver mine
which has values as high as $500 pc

''They have the ore in good quaint

The details Of the annual meeting Of
+be stockholders Of the Montana-Tono-
nab Mining company have been re-
oived and as mentioned in last Satur-
lay's BONANZA. the Knox faction won
complete victory. The session lasted
hree DAYS and was quite interesting
and exciting at all times. Long before
.bo matter went to a vote, it was eyi-
lont that President Knox and his
friends we're on top in this great battle.
The minority faction was diamet-
really opposed to Mr.. Knox, but de-
ante this he still had sufficient strength
10 win out, and did so with 461 ,865
votes, as against 81 1865 cast by the
otber side. At times the meeting was
rather stormy, but the able manner in
which Judge Campbell Of San Francisco
alled the chair, tended to suppress the

Injunction Obtained Against Me-

In an interview published in the
San Francisco Journal of Commerce
a few days ago, John + Davies, sec

Company made the following state
ment;
Yes, we gained victory last
night when the Judge dissolved the
Injunction against u.s. Nov, Mr..
Davies either knew or should have
known that such a statement was
not true Judge Brecn has not dis
solved the Injunction and it is still in
force and effect This Injunction was
granted the Tonopah Extension Min
ing company some time ago and tho
court has modified it to the extent Of
giving the Mcnamara the right TO
explore their so called fault on the
300foot level for s. feet in the Ex

was made solely for the purpose Of
obtaining evidence and absolutely

Acknowledgment.

d. A. Mcdonald, superintendent of
the Anaconda Toaopah at Lone Noun
tain was in from the mine yesterday,
bringing samples from the vein 100
feet below the surface which assays
30 per cent lead and 60 ounces silver.
The Que is a lead carbonate and was en-
eountered in running a west crosscut
IN the vein; the ore is now over six
feet in width and as the wall has not
been found the pay streak is undoubt-
edly several feet wider, which fact is
worthy of great consideration. Mr.
Mcdonald reports that he will be ready
to make regular shipments by the time
the Western Ore Purchasing company S
sampler at Millers is completed and
says that dividends early the following
year are very probable.
A well is also being sunk near the
mine and if water in sufficient quantity
is found it is the intention to lay out a
townsite and make it half way point
for Silver Peak travel. The town will
be directly on the road to Silver Peak
and post Office will be established fol
the benefit of the rapidly increasing
population Of the great Lone Mountain
district.

An important deal was consummated
this week between w. Laing Malcolm
son, general manager of the Scottish
Tonopah Gold Mining Company of
Glasgow, Scotland and Messrs. A. II.
Butler & Co, of 20 Broad St., New
York, whereby the latter acquires the
8ell-known Millbrae property at Gold
Mountain. This property which COM
prises 220 acres, is well-known and is
adjacent to and surrounded by some of
the best properties in this promising
district including the "Hasbrouck"
which is owned by John McKane and
c. H. Schwab and associates of Pitts
burg, Gold Belt, Double Eagle, i"
Omitted Tonopah" and Tonopah Gold
Mountain. 1t is the intention of the
purchasers to develop the property on
an extensive scale and no doubt the
"Millbrae" will ere long be added to
the list of shippers of this section. The
new owners are also heavily interested
IN the "West Tonopah, which recent
l. encountered a ledge carrying good
values and they have great faith in the

In the matter of dividends Mr.. Gillies
reported some time ago that 500, 600
could be paid whenever the directors
cared to call for it and that amount
could be maintained quarterly. tie
based his conclusions on what had been
accomplished at the mine in paying up
its Indebtedness and the monthly earn
ings, beginning with March of this year
During March to July, inclusive, the
monthly earnings had averaged $40,
1892, or practically $150,0OO per
quarter. Deducting s45, cooper quarter
for operating expenses, and the mine
was earning s105,0 900 net. AS the
treasury stock would earn SIC, 800 OF a
Sl00, 900 dividend, it only required
$83, 500, or $21, 500 less than the earning
capacity to meet such a dividend.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 10
Prominent oarsmen from many points
in the eastern states and Canada are
here to take part in the thirty-third
annual regatta of the National AS
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen. The
races will be rowed tomorrow and
Saturday upon the waters of Spring
Gardens, a branch of the Patapsco
river, the course, which has been laid
off by one of the city's surveyors,
giving a practically straight mile and
a half and what is said to be the best
course in the country for the longer
races.
The Spring Gardens have little tide
or current and high banks on both
sides give protection from wind and
fine vantage ground for spectators,
All indications point to one of the
most successful regattas ever held
under the auspices of the national as
sociation.

is wholly unfit to take part in the
work of governing others unless he
can first govern himself. He must
stand up manfully for his own

above and behind all laws.
This applies just as much to the
man of great wealth as to the man

they spend in saloons. The shorter
the hours, the more they are in

no attention to this kind of work.
The company can never win this

old men are now getting on to the
