dt among the greatest producers of the world.
 Big Zinc Combine.
 A company with a capitalization of 20, ,000, 000$ to control the zinc output of Missouri and Wisconsin, was organ ized in Chicago a few days ago. The company is known as the Consolidated Zinc company and it's purpose is to handle the product of the two states and prevent the ruinous competitor now prevailing in the zinc market. The company will handle the product and put it in marketable shape, making zinc white, sheet zinc and other zinc manufactures. This action will result in benefit to all sections of the country where zinc is produced, as it will keep the price of the metal above six cents. The creditors of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company are mak- ing an effort to have a receiver ap- pointed for the concern in the federal court at New Haven, Conn. The stockholders are endeavoring to head off the creditors. claiming that they will be able to put the property on a paying basis within short time and that the company is solvent, having more than three millions of assets that can be realized on at once. The con- pany owes more than 500,000$ to east ern trust companies, besides consider able amounts for ore purchases at the shelter. This is the property that was said to have been taken over short time ago by Thomas w. Lawson, and is situated at Hum boldt, Yavapai county, Arizona.
 There has been decided falling off in the production of gold in South Dakota this year, amounting so far to over one milli n dollars. This has been primarily caused by the fire in the Homestake and the lack of finan- ces to carry on the work in other parts of the state. Dakota from being large producer of gold has been on the down grade for number of years, compared with the surrounding states.
 Dr. J. T. Affleck, of St. George, Utah, has brought suit against the Virgin River Land and Oil company for large amount of money and ask ing for plenary damages on account of the jumping of his oil claims in that region some time ago. Affleck and others had large amount of land To- cated near the we'll of the Virgin River company and that concern at- tempted to put down a we'll on the doctors property without his know ledge for the purpose of getting away with the property. Before oil was struck the doctor got onto the scheme and enjoined them from further work.
 The electric power plant of the Vic tor Gold Mining Company has been in operation for several days. The work of the plant has been principally in the drying out of the transformers at the power works at Needles, the pumping plant on the Colorado river six miles north of Needles, and at the mines in the San Francisco district seventeen miles from Needles. Wed. nesday the power was turned to the pumps and in the first five hours there was delivered in the tanks of the con- pany at the mines 60,00O gallons. This delivery is at the rate of 12,OOO gallons per hour or 2SS,000 gallons every twenty -four hours. The estimated de- mand of the mill is only SO,OOO gallons when in steady operation, therefore, it can be seen that the company is amply prepared to keep supply of water on hand to answer all the de- mands of the mill and camp for any purpose.-Needles Eye.
