J. B., Santa Rosa, Cal.-Mogul Con
solidated Mining company is now oper-
ating two groups of claims. One group
is situated ten miles north of Tonopah.
The company is employing about fifteen
men at present and has ore showing ID
half a dozen places. The rock carries
gold, silver, lead and copper. Samples
we nave seen are very rich, there being
little matrix showing. Several weeks
ago Manager Priest began operations on
another group owned by the company
in a district about forty miles north Of
Tonopah, where there are strong crop
pings. The country is well supplied
with wood and water. No preparations
have yet been made to build a mill, but
such is the plan of the company as soon
as the veins are proven up at depth and
the type of mill is settled upon. 1t is
learned that Mr.. Priest while recently
in the east amply financed the company.
]. D. B., Forney, Tex.-We nave had
scores of just such complaints as the
one you send about the firm in question.
We do not know what you can do in the
premises, unless you insert advertise
ments in the various mining papers in
the country n get concerted action
among stockholders, to make an inves.
CATION and bring suit, if thought wise.
The firm owes us nothing, nor do we
now or did we ever hold any of their
stocks, so that we could not get into
court against them. We have no way
of getting at the books of the company
to ascertain how the accounts stood at
to their successor. If you can suggest
any practical way by which we can be
of service to you in the matter, com
mand us. We are here to serve sub
scribers.
