LEGAL NOTICES

Again we would beg to remind
our friends and readers that they
can do us no greater favor than to
give us their legal notices to pub
lish. 1t is q class of advertising
patronage which the Miner is
peculiarly adapted to handle econ
omically and satisfactorily, espec-
tally if the notices pertain to min
ing such as forfeitures, notices Of
meetings or assessments or notices
of sale of delinquent stock. And
the Miner will guarantee that any
notice which is given it to publish
will be published in such a way as
to fulfill all the requirements Of the
law.
You do not have to bring them
to us. just telephone ia and we
will come after them.

INCREASE IN MINE VALUES

The actual increase in the value
OF mines in this district during the
past Is months or two years has
been simply marvellous. Taking in
to account only those mines which
were shippers last year we find a
total appreciation of not less than
$30,O0O,O0O. This will doubtless
M rs much Of II surprise to the read
or as it was to us when we sat
down and figured it out and this il
the way we did it. We took the
market price of the stocks OF the in
corporated companies two years ago
and compared them with their
prices today and where mines were
NOT incorporated we compared the
price at which owners were willing
to sell them then and now.
Taking the mines in the order Of
their importance as dividend payers
we find that Bunker Hill and Sull-
ivan then sold in Boston at 500 a
share. 1t has recently sold Mt $72.
On its 100000 shares Of capital
stock this means an appreciation of
$9,6OO,OOO.
The Federal company has in
creased its capital by $3,0OO,OW
since then but apart from this its
whole issue has risen in price to the
amount Of $4,O0O,O0O or there
abouts.
Two years ago the owners Of the
Hercules were willing to sell a con-
troll on the basis of $1,000, 900.
They would not take $4,000, 900
now II we can trust common rumor.
Hecla was selling two years ago
at from 81 80 to ~. 60 n share. 1t
is now firm at 81. 90 or better which
means an increase in value Of
$2,OOO,0OO Or 81, 800, 900.
Snow Storm was selling at not to
exceed 30 cents two years ago and
its capital was only $1,000, 900.
1t is now capitalized at $500, 600
and selling at 81 a share, a gain Of
81, 100000.
Success was valued at a little
over $50, 600, its purchase price,
two years ago. Its present value
il at least 81 100000.
The Frisco was an idle property
and is once again Il producer. Its
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-08-22

appreciation in value cannot be-
less than 81, 900, 900.
The Pittsburg two years ago was
under bond for $4,000. We are
certain $500, 600 would not buy it
today.
Monitor was bonded for 1925, 900
lS months ago. 1t has much more
than doubled in value already.
The Callahan was a mere pros
pect two years ago. Now il is not
for sale at any price. Its increase
in value is easily s25O,OOO and is
probably much more.
The Tamarack two years ago was
selling at Is cents. It's present
price IL around $50 with 10000
shares Of stock issued. Its rise in
value has therefore been about
81 ,OOO,OUO.
Stewart two years ago was a poor
seller at 20 cents. 1t is worth now
about ~, gain Of a million and
three quarters at least.
Regarding the Hunter We have
no prices to guide us but two years
ago it was very lightly esteemed and
was not paying operating expenses.
Today it is earning good money
and developing new and wonderful
ore bodies. Probably 81 100000
would be modest estimate OF its
rise in value.
Then there is the Golden Chest
at Murray which has sprung into
the first rank of gold mines in the
last few months. Its value must
have appreciated not less than a
half million dollars.
Besides those there are host OF
properties which were hardly
thought Of two years ago that are
now worth from a hundred to hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars apiece,
such as the Charles Dickens, Idora,
Surprise, Highland Chief, Alham,
bra, Nabob, Dom Paul, Snowshoe,
Lucky Calumet, Independent,
National, Imperial, Acolian, Ajax,
Bell, Gertie, Daisy, Vienna-Inter-

box, Vindicator, Black Horse,
Paragon, Monarch, Bullion, Alice,
Mayhower, Star group, Black
Bear Fraction, Nevada Stewart,
New Jersey, Gro Elmo, Chicago
London, Montana-Standard, Con-
Sunrise, Missoula, Am
crican Commander, Alameda and
host Of others, not to mention
such mines rs the Rex, Bcartop,
Pilot, Custer and Stanley which
were among last years shippers.

A new compressor was this week
Installed on the property OF the Moon
Greek Mining company, situated on
Moon creek. Mr.. pepper, one of the
principal owners Of the property, is
personally In charge OF the work at
the mine.
Machine drills are already at the

shaft as soon as 1t is cleaned out in
shape for work. This shaft which has
depth OF fifty feet /will be sunk to
Ave hundred feet.V
The ore on the property is cop
per bearing. carrying also some
values In gold. There are two tun-
nels on the property both of which
have been run on the ledge. The
average width of the ore body Is
between Ave and six feet.
This property Is about mile
south OF the Dickens and about two
miles north Of the Wisconsin, an
other copper property in that district.

DORIS ORANGE ORCHARD
 HAS CHANGED HANDS
Brings s2o.ooo, an Advance of s15,ooo In Two Years and Hslf.

Yesterday J. w. Doris cOnsummat- ed transaction which has been been pending for several days. where in he sold his 12O acre farm northeast of Phoenix, which includes a thirty acre orange orchard in bearing. to J. H. Fleming. whose home has been in northern Georgia.
 This is one of the most notable sales of the winter in many respects. It is one of the finest orchards in the world and it has been money maker for Mir. Doris and the sale is one of considerable magnitude. the purchase price being S20,0O0. MT. Doris said that with his other business engaging his attention he did not care to bother with the raising of another orange or chard, but his experience with this has been such that he would like to own one all the time and he wasn't partic- ular about selling this one, only he got his price and had made about as much money on it as a man was en- titled to. so he let it go.
 Mir. Doris paid s5OOO for the farm two and half years ago. buying it of the Young estate. Thirty acres are devoted to oranges. six acres 10 al- mOnds and the rest is untitled, except that a row of olive trees surrounds the property. This season. that is the win ter of 1906. MT. Doris gathered s5, 900 worth of oranges from the orchard. just the amount of his purchase price. This incident can scarcely be alluded to as an example of what anybody could do." for it was known at the time that MT. Doris bought the prop erty marvelously cheap. but he had faith in the country and at that time lot of people did not have that faith and the few who did were timid about putting up enough money to buy even a cheap orange grove. But. granting he had paid twice as much as he dId

 Mir. Fleming is a brother-in-law of C. H. McAGoo of New York. who is also visiting here. both gentlemen having become infatuated with the country. MT. Fleming is particularly enthused. as he is and has been en- gagged in fruit culture for the past fif- teen years. having large peach or chards in Georgia. He decided to go into the orange business and went to California with that in mind. He found the orange land there was held at $500 per acre. and one grove in River side that looked good to him could not be secured on an offer of S75.O .O0O. Then he decided 70 try Arizona and is glad now that he did so.
 IL is understood that he has already begun the planning Of a handsome country home to be built on his newly acquired property. and that when com pleted he will bring his family here and make this a permanent residence. The possibilities of his new possess ion have yet scarcely begun to be req lized. for less than a third of the farm is yet under cultivation.
