which will enable a vast AMOUNT of ore
to be reduced and converted into bull

COLUMBUS CONSOLIDATED
MAY LEVY ASSESSMENT

A special meeting of the directors of
the Columbus Consolidated Mining
company will be held on Tuesday next.
and the expectation is that an assess
ment of possibly 20csa share will be
levied on the capital stock of the cor
pOration. When questioned on the mat
ter yesterday. President and General
Manager Tony jacobson said that he
was not able to foretell what action
would be taken at the meeting. He had
been told that the. report was in circu-
lation that the mine was to be closed
down, but that, so far as he was able
to judge. would not be the policy pur-
sued. He would not acknowledge that
an assessment would be levied, either,
though he did say that the sharehold-
ers could hardly claim that a kick was
due if such action was taken, because
they had already received a great deal
more in dividends than they had paid
in assessments.
For some time, owing to the low price
of the metals, the company has not
been producing. This has resulted in
the building of a good-sized overdraft
and, unless the resumption of ship
ments on a large scale is decided upon
it will be impossible to escape an as
sessment But the whole matter will
be threshed out at the meeting on
Tuesday.

FEDERAL-ELY
MEETING CALLED
Planned to Make the Company
an ASSeSSabIe One
Reasons Given.

In letter to stockholders calling at
tention to the special meeting that is to
be held on the 24th of this month, the
Federal-Ely company explains the ne
cessity of so changing the articles of
Incorporation that it will be possible
to assess the stock. The letter tells OF
the valuable holdings which the CON-
pany has acquired since the company
was NorganiZed on the original eight
claims; of how certain individuals in
the company have had to make person
al advances of large sums of money TO
protect these holdings since it became
impossible to sell treasury stock as a
result of the financial slump, and it
urges that all stockholders support the
proposition to make the stock assessa-
BILE so that all may bear an equal share
of the burden of holding on to the ex-
tremely valuable acquisitions. The let
ter says:
"As you are doubtless aware, when
the company was formed and its stock
placed upon the market, it owned eight
mining claims, namely, the Justice,
Savage, Groop, Rather, Lead King,
United States Mint, Oakland and Oak
land Fraction mining claims, and had
an option to purchase what is known
as the Dickerson group of mining
claims, consisting of~the Selma No. l,
Selma No. 2, Selma No. 3, Dickson No.
1, Dickson No. 2, Dickson No. 8, Noun
tain Maid and Gold Reef mining
claims.
Since the company was launched
and its stock placed upon the market
and portion Of the treasury stock dis
posed of, the company has secured op-
tons to purchase what is known as the
Tempest. Harmon Fraction, Queen of
the West and Panama lode mining
claims, also what is known as the
Heusser ranch and water right.
THE Queen of the West, Harmon
and the Tempest are situated most IA
vorably, and in the center of the min
eral belt of the Ely district. The ranch
consists of 600 acres of land, and a very
valuable water right connected there
with.
I'm making payments upon the pur-
chase price for these various proper
ties the company has exhausted the
funds derived from the sale of treasury
stock and has been compelled to box
row very considerable sums of money
from certain of the individual stock
holders. There is still a considerable
amount unpaid on the purchase price
of the various properties held under
bond, and if the company wishes to
secure absolute title to these proper
ties, some method of securing the nee
essary funds in order to complete the
payment must be devised.
1T would seem that the most equita-
BILE and fairest way to secure these
funds is for each and every stakeholder
. II
In this way the burden falls upon each
alike, in proportion to his holdings in
the company, and no one is taxed be-
yond his just proportion.
THE company, in the opinion of
those who are familiar with its prop
erty, has very valuable assets, and il
only requires the expenditure of a
comparatively small amount of money
to complete the title and place the
company upon a sound footing.
THE future of the camp of Ely is

HOW VIEWERS FELL DOWN
OBLIGATIONS WILL BE MET AND
NEW START MADE.

There was a shaking up in the Off
cial household of the Weimer Copper
company yesterday at the special meet
ing of stockholders. A new board of
directors and officers were chosen and
statements made at the meeting dis
closed the fact that the company Is
something like s12, 900 or $4,000 in debt,
with sic, 600 of the amount due to Frank
c. Worthing, son-in-law of John b.
Weimer promoter OF the company, and
its former secretary and treasurer, who
holds the deeds to the four patented
claims on which the organization was
based and from which the company
shipped about $4,000 worth OF ore last
year.
1t was supposed. up to a short time
ago. that the company had full title to
this ground, and more than fifty loca-
. tons & at were later taken up by the
Weimers and turned over to the COM
pany. 1t developed at the meeting yes
terday that Worthing secured the option
on the four claims referred to from Pc
ter Tolgren for S15,S00. Worthing
agreed to sell the ground to the Wei
mer Copper company for $4,000. Money
was provided from the sale Of treasury
stock and ore shipped from the mine
TO discharge the obligation as far as
Tolgren s Sl5,S00 was concerned and final
payment was made last October. But

J. D. Pardee, who is now president of
the company, stated yesterday after
noon that he was confident Worthing
would give the company further time
in which to pay him the 900 and that
the money would be raised and the COM
pany started off on the right foot.
There was an earnest and representa-
tive crowd of men at the meeting yes
terday and considerable sharp criticism
of the former management was INDUCED
in. After the election of directors, the
new board organized by eIecting off,
GERS, the result being follows: James
d. Pardee, president; II. w. Brown,
vice president; H. w. Dearborn, treas
urer; j. l.. Perkes, secretary; the other
director being Lorenzo Price, jr. While
the Weimers have asked no representa-
ton in the new board they are still
heavily interested in the company, and
President Pardee states that John B.
Weimer declared after the meeting
that he would get behind and push to
the best Of his ability to straighten the
affairs of the company out and give the
new crowd chance to make good with
the properties, which are conceded to
be extremely valuable.
Since the organization of the COM
pany. about eighteen months ago. about
$50 900 worth of treasury stock has been
SOld ana Jnat, with the ore marketed,
gave the company in the neighborhood
of $4,000. Much money was spent in
development, building roads, houses,
and one thing and another in the way of
equipment, supplies, ETC., for the mines,
but it seems that strict economy was
not practiced in handling the PROPOSE
ton. To make matters worse the finan-
cial panic came on at a time that money
to clean up the company's obligations
was needed the worst, and when it was,
naturally. hardest to get-and Weimer
fell down.
Properly handled and opened, the
properties of the company are believed
to have in them the making of one of
the biggest copper propositions in the
west. There are q number of good,
strong men In the list of prominent
shareholders and they are disposed, ac-
cording to sentiments expressed at the
meeting yesterday, to get into harness
and help make the proposition what it
ought to be.
President Pardee states that right
now nOmber of men are making appli-
cation for leases on company ground
not included in the original four pat
ented claims, and the probabilities are
that some of them will be granted. The

MARVELLOUS SHOWING
IN THE NEVADA HILLS

The recent new strike in the property
of the Nevada Hills company, mention
of which was made in this department
few days ago. is developing into a
real sensation, not only because of the
value of the ore, which averages more
than $500 per ton, but because of its
character. Nothing like it was ever
before found in The mine and, in talk
ing about it yesterday, w. V. Rice and
w. II. Clark both expressed the firm
conviction that it clinched the argu-
ment for good as to whether the ores
would go to the deep or not.
An analytical assay of the new ore
has just been made in this city. Mr.
Rice exhibited the certificate yester-
day. 1t shows that the ore contains
six metals, namely, gold, silver, lead,
copper, zinc and iron. The sample test
ed. which was taken to determine the
character of the mass as nearly as pos
sible, assayed 147 ounces gold, 31S1
