And now that these various and sun
dry canals are found, what are they
after all? Theirs seems to be a re-

point. Some astronomers regard them

a food will bring, whether wheat rust
will get in the wheat or not; he hg-
ures from his doctrine of averages,
and so makes a loan. 1t is quite as
safe, with the prospect of vastly more
profits, to estimate in advance whether
a prospect is going to develop into a
mine or not.
1t is a manifest fact that the pros
p~ective results cannot be anticipated
in a mining venture. We say wen
ture' advisedly, because until the
value of a mine is demonstrated 1t
can only be a venture; but the encour-
aging feature is that in Nevada a
venture, as a rule, proves more pront-
able to investors than would a IKE
investment IN any of the ordinary oc-
equations or industries of life.

FLEISHAKERS CHARGED WITH

RENO, May IA majority of TIL
minority stockholders of the Unior

Hunt Creek Water company, thu
Sparks Deep Well company and thu
Washoe Power and Development Co
have stated that they intend to peti
ton the courts to appoint a receiver

The companies are controlled by the
F~leishakers of San Francisco, who are

Fleishakers had the Washoe Develop

which is the holding company. In this
way they secured control of the stock
and since that time nave never paid {

stockholders to see the books of tht

Richard Kirman, who is a largf
stakeholder in the Union company
declares that the companies are oh
tanning more than $4,000 net profit il
Reno every year and that this none,
is going into the pockets Of the fetish

BURNED AND SUNK
Fast Boat Owned by E. r. Lothr,ngec
Destroyed at Andalusis, Loss
Being About $1,000.

The launch Lorraine, owned by 10th
ringer Bros. of this city, was burned
to the waters edge and sunk last even
ing about $50 while harbored near the
farm of Carl Fiebig, two miles below
Andalusia. The fire was started bv
the explosion of a gasoline stove and
rapidly spread. The launch was a
stern wheeler 80 feet in length and
has been a familiar craft i'll this vicin-
ity for the last six years. Its owner
had made trip to the Calf of Mexico
and several long trips up and down
the river with it. 1t was the fastest
stern wheel boat in the three cities
taking the races held in Moline year
ago. The value of the boat was over
$4,000 the loss being partially covered
by insurance.
