TN THE EAST


1t is very amusing to read the iurid
accounts in eastern papers regarding
the immense amount OF ~wildcatting'
being lone in Nevada camps. Much OF
this is being written by sensational
writer's in Offices Of the syelIows" and
a great part OF IT is being sent by hire
lings who are living in new districts and
systematically attacking one concern
or another. These writer's are cute
enough to deal i'm generalities entirely,
as they know hat in most instances,
were they to make specific charges. they
would be sumraariIy dealt with. Prob
ably no mining boom in the history Of
the country has been accompanied by
less validating from the people who
live In the camps and who have the well
fare OF their districts at heart, than
that OF the Nevada mining centers.
II is close TO home that these sensa-
tional writer's should look for material
IL they wish to make a complete expose
OF "wildcatting.' as most of the shear
ing of the unsuspecting has been done
in large eastern cities. where com
panies in districts hat never existed
are incorporated" in a day. and where
maps are so easily changed h zach
new company appears TO adjoin the Mo-
hawk. or some other latter-day bonanza.
The victims can buy shares in them
at most any terms with a complete as
surance that hundreds Of men are work
ing at the property. and that there Is
enough gold. silver and copper. in sight
to supply the worlds needs for an in
definite time. but that the directors
have consented TO part with a small
portion of the treasury stock in order
that the dear public may have a chance
to get in at the killing.
The big cities are at the present time
hotbeds for such fake companies. The
mines of most OF them are a myth. the
directors are dummies. brilliantly
veneered for the occasion, and in every
particular the schemes are absolute
swindles. No mining excitement in the
country has ever been freer from Wild
cats than hat in Nevada at the preseat
time.
A notable instance of the desire of the
men of the Sage-Brush state to keep
that record clean is seen in the recent
~denouement of the Union Securities
company, which, under the misguided
direction of DR." j.. Grant Lyman. was
enabled to fleece the public for a period
lasting less than six weeks before the
bubble was exploded. OF course. thers
are wildcats" In Nevada; there are
wildcats" in every country which lays
any claim to rich mineral discoveries;
but the men who are doing the real
hahn are those in the atics of eastern
skyscrappers, where INSCRIPTIONS
fakirs are plying their trade unmolested
save where they fail to advertise In a
Matchmaking journal of the saffron
type.-Goodwin's Weekly.

Copper companies. Quite a camp has

The shaft on the Bonanza is down $50

to facilitate operations and is to later
be replaced by a power hoist.
At the Toquina shaft a within is being
utilized for hosting purposes until such

and silver values are increasing with
depth and the ore body is showing the
full width of the shaft with neither

to continue until a depth of $50 feet
is gained when the deposit is to be

A ledge 6 feet in width has been
opened up at a depth of 20 feet in the
Ralston shaft, the ore showing chal-
copyrites and presenting other features
of naturalization which bespeak It's
value as a producer of copper. Depth
is the essential factor at this time and
every effort is being put forth to push
the shaft down to water level. The ledge
recently encountered parallels the big
Topuima assure and for the depth yields
an equal per cent of copper.

The assays brought here from the ore

They have caught several rich stringers
while at work which carried values as

The fact that work is now going on
rapidly at the False Alarm has resulted
in a rush to the district and all the
