that you might bring your family to
Goldfeld to live. If it were not for the
filthy streets you saw here last sum-
mer." 1t is with pleasure that we can
assure you that should you come to
Goldheld now you would see as pretty
streets as will be found anywhere in the
country. This fall the county commits
sioners started a campaign of street i'm
provement. All the principal streets
nave been plowed up. graded and mac
adamized; gullies and curbs put in,
walks and crossings. etc. etc. The
streets are now perfectly drained. and
we will never again be troubled with
mud or dust. 1t has made an astonish-
ing Improvement in Goldheld.

J. \. =, berkeley. The Bullfrog o
solidated Mines company n the Bull
frog Consolidated Mines syndicate. al
though very similar in name. are separ-
ate and distinct corporations. It's the
syndicate" stock that Is being con-
verted into Red Star. AS you suggest.
there should be some law to prevent the
duplication of names or permitting
names so nearly alike. but there IL no
way. SO long as companies are allowed
to incorporate in foreign states. Should
they all incorporate In Nevada. the
secretary Of state could refuse to issue
a charter where names are duplicated or
so nearly alike as to be confusing. but
he can exercise no supervision or dis
erection when charters are obtained from
other states.
