September LIST. On this account. con-
trary to the prevailing opinion In
financial circles, the money realized
from that sale cannot be used for re-
Mobilization work.
Valuable Land Held
It seems an anomaly that with Spring

this: The company owns $500 acres Of
land in this city and County Of San
Francisco. All of the real estate ex-
perts in town have reported TO the
company that this acreage 10 worth
ei4.000,0 900 in cash at any time. In
addition to this acreage the company
owns in San Mateo and Alameda coun-
ties $1,000 acres. Furthermore. Il
owns all the high reservoir sites In San
Francisco.
The company was recently reorgan.
lied. On September LIST its old bonded
debt of si4.500. 900 will be cancelled By
payment in cash or BY . substitution Of
new 4 per cent bonds. the old ones Be.
ing 5 and 8 per cent. 1. w. Hellman
and Jacob H. Schid and his New York
friends stand sponsors for the new
bond issue.
Expect Financial Mpvsssmsnf
Owing to the demand for the new
bonds and the character Of the men
who want them. together with tho
realty holdings Of the company, the
holders Of stock think they will have
good financial times before long.
When the directors adjourned their
meeting last night they had assurance
that every holder of stock would cheer
fully respond to the IS assessment.

EDITOR SENTINEL-Is towpsite boom
ing beneficial to the mining interests Of
this State? II this question can be
answered in the Affirmative. then we
are certainly on the verge Of the great
est mining boom this State has ever
seen. We believe that on the contrary
it is very detrimental to the develop
ment Of the mineral Of the
State. At the present time there are at
least six different townsites occupying
more advertising space in both Of our
daily papers than all the rest Of the
advertising put together. and while we
are pleased to know that the news
paper men are reaping q harvest. we
are still inclined to believe that they
are the only ones, lest 1t be the boomers
who own what they call townsites. In
nearly every instance q visit to any one
Of the six camps now booming their
townsite will reveal the fact that little
less than the location work on the dis
covery claim has been done. and that
just sufficient to come within the law.
and there it has stopped and the boom
of town lots has been taken mp. and
what seems strange, with q more or
less degree Of success in selling, and
yet IL the purchasers will but take a
retrospective glance covering a period
of only about six months they will dis
cover that their chances Of winning are
not equal to the chances they would
have had they played IL on the wheel,
q game we would not recommend to
any one. Let MS have . genuine era Of
development and not 70 many town
booms; try the experiment and my as
for It the town lots will sell
better. the purchaser will be better
satisfied and the town become perman-
enl after the mine or mines have been
developed to . suficiency to at least
demonstrate that it has q fair prospect
Of becoming q mine. The other method
nov in vogue is certainly making it
difficult to interest capital in the pros
poets in these same boom townsites. al
though many Of them may have de-
cided merit.
