THE U. S. cOMpANY'S MEETING
Probable Contest Of Opposing In
terests to Control Manage
ment May Be Lively

The annual meeting Of the United
States Smelling, Refining g. Mining
Company will be held in Portland,
Maine. May 20. 1t is possible that there
may be q contest for control at this
meeting between the Evans people on
the one hand aud the Winslow-Storrow
interests on the other. says the Boston
News Bureau.
The latter are now in control Of the
management. There have been numsr-
GUS disagreements ON various questions
of policy. which may be fought out with
stockholders proxies If some agreement
is not reached previous to the meeting.
1t is understood that the Winslow-
Storrow interests favor the retention in
the management of Albert f. Holden,
who has been the managing director of
the company ever since its formation.
Mr.. Evans favors an entire change in
the management, and if his plans carry,
it is not improbable that John Hays
Hammond and associates Of Mr.. Ham.
mond in the mining and m~etallurgical
field will become prominent in the fu-
ture direction of the company's affairs.
Mr.. Evans. and one other man with
whom he is working, control 200. 900
shares Of the company's stock, while the
Winslow. Storrow interests control 240,-
600 shares. of which 5000 shares are
now in pool account. Outside Of
Mr.. Evans, the largest stockholdings in
the directorate are held by N. w Rice,
with so. 900 shares, and Sidney w. Win
slow. with 10000 shares.
ures 800, 900 shares of stock held by
slightly over 5000 stockholders. 1t is
figured that 80 per cent would be repre-
sented at a stockholders meeting, or
$50. 900 shares, in which case slightly
over 1926, 900 shares of stock would con-
troll the meeting and election of direc-
tors. Four directors come up for elec-
ton, as follows: Charles f. BROKER.
William G. Sharp. Henry H. Wehrhane
and one vacancy caused by resignation
of E. N. Foss.
About a year ago Mr.. Evans was de.
posed from the active management OF
the company, and there have been dis
agreements in the board ever since. II
is quite possible that the present situa.
ton may be cleared up before the an.
nual meeting through some compromise.
but a contest for control is not unlikely.

FORTUNE LOST AT THE WHEEL
Rhyolite Mining Man Loses $4,000
In q Few Hours Play


Rhyolite Herald: Perhaps the most
spectacular play ever made in Nevada
gambling was pulled of at Rhyolite
within the past few days.
The loser is John Cyty. a well known
prospector and mining man. and the
winner is Dick Jones. who owns the
games at the Stock Exchange club.
Cyty started playing roulette at Jones'
place Saturday night and before he quit
he had lost over 200 900 shares of the
stock of the Death Valley Big Bell Min
ing Company. By Monday night Cyty
had lost to Jones his entire holdings in
the company. amounting to about $780,
600 shares. At one time. Cyty is said
to have been $4,000 ahead of the game.
1t has been but a short time since
Cyty's stock was under option for about
$45 900, and it is said that on u oc
casion he refused 10 cents a share for
his holdings. which would have given
him ss7 500.
Locally. the Big Bell is considered
one of the best prospects in the South
Bullfrog district, second only to Keane
Wonder. The loss of a quarter of a
million shares Of such value in a few
hours play is without parallel in the
history Of the State.

Operation Depends Upon Lead Market

While visiting at Ely last week En-
nest Bamberger, general manager Of
the Bamberger mining interests in
Utah aud Nevada. had the following to
say to the Expositor regarding his COM
pany's mine at Hamilton: When asked
if his company would begin an active
campaign upon the Ne Plus Ultra lead
mine in Hamilton this season, Mr..
Bamberger stated that on account Of
the present depreciation of the lead
market and the cost of transportation
of the ore from the mines to the rail
road aud smelters, it was not likely
that any move would be made toward
the working of the Hamilton property
at the present time. But should the
price of lead increase, which he stated
he fully expected would be the case
within the next sixty days, active de-
velopment of the Ne Plus Ultra would
be Immediately begun.

WONDERFUL Is GOLD CIRCLE
That Is, If What One Who Has Been
There Says Is True


Sheriff Sweeney is evidently aspiring
to the presidency Of the Ananias Club,
judging from O little incident that took
place a few evenings since in one Of the
saloons on Main street. He was extoll-
ing the greatness and richness Of the
new camp of Gold Circle in Elko County,
in which district he is an owner in a
number of claims. His listeners seemed
to be quite interested in what he was
ladling u to them regarding that sec.
ton, but one Of his hearers, a young
man from the country, was particularly
attentive to all he said.
After the Sheriff had concluded his
praises about the mineral wealth Of
Gold Circle, he branched of regarding
its stock raising qualities, and stated
that they raised mules there al large az
elephants.
The young man referred to above
who prides himself on being a very good
fisherman and has caught some pretty
good sized members of the inny tribe,
asked him about the fishing there and
how big was the fish usually caught,
"Well." said Sweeney, II guess 1t il
the most wonderful fishing grounds in
the world. You dou't need any bait al
all; you just cast the bare hook aud line
in the stream and you can catch q mesi
of trout in short order"
But" persisted the now very inter
ested young man. show large are they p
about as big as a horse" said Swee'
ney. That capped the climax. The
young man beat q hasty exit from the
saloon. and as he has not been seer
around town since it is believed he hal
returned to his country home no doub'
fully convinced that Gold Circle is .
wonder sure.

More Moisture Needed

The recent spell of warm weather
that has prevailed has started the grass
growing not only in the valleys but on
the mountains and foothills in the
vicinity Of Eureka. In all the yards
about town the grass Is higher at pres.
ent than it usually is ut this time Of the
year. 1t is claimed by those who are
familiar with conditions that if con.
siderable more moisture does not fall
this Spring feed is going to be very

Tonopah Sun Of April IA: Mark l..
Requa, mining and smelling mag
nate. was in the city last evening
and is at Goldfeld to-day. Yesterday
Mr.. Requa was at Manhattan investi.
eating the various properties. The
supposition is that Mr.. Requa is
interested or representing one of the
big smelter companies OF Ely and
that he is looking over southern Nevada
camps in view of securing data on the
tonnage Of ore that will be necessary in
the operation of the immense plant at
Ely. MI. Requa is a civil engineer and
there is a possibility that he may also
be looking over the route of the pro-
posed railroad to connect Ely with
Tonopah.
