An interesting. if somewhat owe
remedy, for the evils of over-capitaliza-
ton was advanced a few days ago by
Edward M. Shepherd. the well-known
New : ork lawyer.
In an address before the Illinois Bar
association he suggested that the purely
nominal capitalization of business cor
porations b. done away with. To use
his own words:
1T is the falsity of the present plan
of corporate capitalization which should
condemn it. For the very reason that 1t
facilitates deceit, the delusion of in
vestors and insincere dealing with pub
lie sentiment by public officers. it
should b. ended, If there be a better
plan. I think there is. l propose that
the share Of stock shall have no dollar
mark: that its only essential feature
shall be the truthful certiication that
it is one of a given total number of
shares into which the enterprise is
divided"
There are certainly some advantages
in a proposal of this kind, even though
1t may be unique. As a matter of fact
a liked or stated o value given to
shares Of stock frequently is a delusion
and a snare to investors. A mining

ent Joyce. The drift from the 400 is
now in 80 feet and the rich tense APP
pears for this entire distance. The en-
tire face of the drift carries high values.
while the high grade streak, as far as
stripped, in every instance run into the
thousands. The shaft at the property is
now down $40 feet and is being steadily
continued. A drift from the 500 is be-
ing run to the rich shoot APP
pearing in the upper workings.
The company has announced that a
big milling plant will be installed in the
near future. A vast amount of milling
ore has been blocked out and it is the
purpose of the management to get. re-
duction machinery on the ground as
soon as possible.
Your correspondent made a visit to
the Lee district a few days ago to ex-
anime the recently reported strike on
the Hayseed. This appears to be all
that has been claimed for 1t. Material
from the rich shoot in the drift from
the 100-foot level was panned and
showed a gold content which will prob
ably assay as high as $500 to the ton.
The ore from various other parts of the
mine was also PANIED and showed sub
stantial gold values. Not only this. but
the dump dirt picked at random gave
excellent gold returns in the pan.

RAMSEY-COMSTOK MINE -
SHIPPING HIGH GRADE

Right now. any time, a piece OF ore can
be blocked on that dyke that will not
only pan a remarkable string of gold,
but specks OF II can be seen on all
sides of the chunk. Naturally enough
miners ave expected that such . show
ing would result in a rich mine being de-
veloped and have looked forward to the
day when ore would be sent from Il to
the shelters.
The big ledge has been well opened
up. crosscuts having been driven to M

exposed the same ore shoots that occur
on surface in each instance. Each sub
sequent crosscut has disclosed the vein

rome below the water level. showing ore
of high grade. There are two large
veins and a number of smaller ones oc-
curing in the 71-foot ledge that are
rich. but the one on the hanging wall
and another about the middle compose
the greater part of the shipping quality
ore. The middle vein is about three
feet wide.
In the oxide gone, which extends to
within 40 feet of the second level. the
porphyretic quartz is rich in free gold
and considerable of II was put in sacks
for shipment several months ago, when
an upraise was made from the first level
to the surface. Crosscutting on the
second level caused the FIRST exposure
of the sulphide ore and resulted in a
strike of very rich ore carrying gray
copper and gold. Some Of this ore as
sayed over $4,000 in gold and 20 per
cent copper. a vein running close to 5000.
When the general average across the
seven-foot veins were cut on the third
level it was found that the copper con-
tents was small and strange to say
much free gold obtained with the sui
phides. A black metal also appeared
which was found to be tellurium, and In
some specimens the particles of free
gold are seen p~rotruding from 1t. In
other pieces that contain much white
quartz gold shows in long strings and
blotches. These specimens are nothing
less than jewelry ore.
With the mine so well developed and
many feet of drifting done. showing
the dependable character of the rich ore
bodies. the company had every incentive
to ommence making shipments to the
smelters. This is now being done. with
the knowledge that the mine with ures-
ent developments will be capable of pro-
ducing enough high grade ore to enable
them to send out consignments for a
long time to come.
Everything tends to show that the
Ramsey-ComstocI mine Is to loom up
bright for a number of years and that
the bullion production from this one OF
Ramseys mines will add a large quota
to the state of Nevada's mineral output.

pose OF bringing steady profit to this

mining timbers and left the following
morning with a full load of ore and
since then has been making regular
trips. Things just started OF in regular
businesslike fashion and from now on
the wage road between here and
Apache. the shipping point. will be the
scene of daily trips by the big freight
teams.
There is a big reserve to start on.

cept for a little stopping that has been
done the last few days. the immense
quantity blocked out has hardly been
touched. 1t is easy to see that the
company has enough shipping ore ready
for extraction to keep sending out
monthly c~onsignments for an extended
period. In other words, the Ramsey
Comstock has made its bow before the
public as one of Nevada's permanent
shipping mines.
As soon as other machinery arrives
and 1t is expected daily, sinking will re-
sumo in the shaft. They intend to
lower it to the mex level and crosscut
through the ledge with the least pos
sible delay, the purpose being to obtain
another 100 feet of ore for shipping.
With the use of Burleigh drills. which
are included in the new equipment. they
will be able to make rapid Roadway and
a few weeks will see the great ledge ex-
posed another 100 feet below the sur
face. Sinking will not stop. however.
but the shaft will be bored several hum
dred feet below it's present depth.

The camp is situated about rs miles
south of Rhyolite and is in what is
probably one of the most promising Sec
tions of country tributary to the Bull
frog district. The Borax Smith rail-
road is being completed and will be only
a few miles from Lee. 1t is understood
that a branch line will be run into camp
in the near future. The general i'm
preston prevails heAe that Lee is 60
ing to make one of the best gold produce
ing districts in this section of the
try.
The Montgomery Shoshone property.
controlled by Charles M. Schwab. has
just started it's steam hoist, the first of
the kind to be operated in the Bullfrog
district. 1t is a 120-horse power. and
the water being taken from the mine is
used to supply steam. The company is
using crude oil for fuel. The big re-
duction plant at the Shoshone is near
ing completion and will probably be in
operation within the next 80 days.
In addition to this Shoshone mill. sew
eral other companies are either INSTALL
ing, or contemplating the placing of
milling machinery. Gold Bullfrog al
ready has a 10-stamp mill ready to OPP
crate, the Keane Wonder is putting in a
good sized plant which will probably be
at work at about the same time the
Shoshone mill is. the Gold Bar has or
dered machinery for a ten-stamp mill,
to be rapidly increased in size. the
Tramp Consolidated will probably in
stall milling machinery in the near fu-
ture, and the Homestake is also consid-
ering plans for the erection of a milling
plant. Various other companies will fol-
low suit in the near future.
1t is believed by everybody ~conversant
with the situation that the. Bullfrog dis
trict will in a short time enter upon its
era of production.
