ton a week, and they can come oftener.
IL YOU will indicate which one of the
Is companies you are particularly an
x;ous TO hear about, we vii accommodate
you.
| 7 r g.. Heron Lake, Minn.-You
must send us the names of the COM
NAMES before we can give you the In
formation you want. Different districts
have different recorders with whom ar
fdavits of labor are filed.
F. w. w., Ell Centre, Calif.-There
must be a mix-up some where. Send us
your query again.
H. e. B., Fairmont, Minn.-Opefa-
tions at the Ramsey Comstock at Ram
sew have been suspended since last f'l'.
The mill was almost completei when
the funds became exhausted. a. ii.
Mayne lost the control and management
of the property during this perioi, Dat
has now come into control and mas
about completed arrangements whereby
the company will be able to complete
the mill. In fact plans have been sent
out and lids invited. The mine is wHli
thought of. There are four levels 100
feet apart, and every level has ore It's
entire length. Some of it is high grade,
and it will all average a good milling
grade.
:, L. c. s., Oakland.-The Nevada
Twilight Mining company has five full
claims at Goldyke, in addition to two
fractions. There is one shaft IS feet,
beside others of lesser depth. Some
work is in progress now. No ore ha
been shipped. There is one large ledge
of low grade ore, which runs in gold and
silver. We understand the surface
showing on this property warrants the
expenditure of considerable money for
development. The condition of the
treasury is said to be sound. Hosting
machinery will be installed soon, ac-
cording to present plans.
J. A. H, Winters, Calif.-We have
tried repeatedly to get something about
the Cirac Mining company from one
of it's officers, but without success.
TREY l.. Ford, the president, is badly
mixed up in the graft scandals in San
Francisco, and is in court too much to
trouble about such affairs as stock
holders, etc. The secretary, w. +.
Ford, his brother, is also in the meshes
of the law. He has been secretly in
dicted by the Nye county grand jury
for collecting money for clients and alb
sent mindedly putting it in his own
pocket. He represented an Indian,
known as Peavine Johnny, formerly of
this section, and another person, who
were co-partners in the Clifford prop
erty which was recently sold to J. c.
, Mccormack. Peavine Johnny was the
original diseoverer of the mine, and
| with his associates owned a quarter
share in the property, but when the
oOlo III hhAhS aoo
years ago, they failed to count them in.
A suit was brought which was com
promised and Johnny and partners were
given two notes. These they placed in
the hands of Ford, who, after making
the collection, failed to turn the pro-
ceeds over to his clients. At this time
he had a law Office in Tonopah, but
about two years ago moved to Berke-
t ley.

The company now has it's electrical I'M

, L. x. M, Detroit, Mich.-We under
4 stand that the Nevada Consolidated
: Copper company is well financed. 1t is
: not borrowing a dollar and has in cash,
e accounts receivable, copper in transit
to market and at smelter more thar
S 81, 100000. The only liabilities are for
current bills and operating expenses.
: To complete the fourth unit and all
other construction and extensions under
way at the smelter will require $780,
S 600. The Nevada Consolidated carries
, its own copper and has never borrowed
. q dollar on its copper output. Official
t reports show that these mines produced
1900 tons of copper during March. This
I output is only about half capacity. The

price at which copper is now being sold,
Nevada Consolidated is earning on a
