FINANCE AND LITIGATION.

FINANCE AND LITIGATION.
Beginning with the fiscal year, the
company had in cash and concen-
trates in transit, a reserve of SILL
1858, after having expended $780,
600 for the construction of a pipe
line, railroad and mill. The litiga-
tion over the apex troubles is refer
red to in detail, and then the infor-
nation of the sale of the Victor
claim and the adjoining fraction to
the G. O. d. Consolidated is men
toned. The sale of the rights and
the acreage was in consideration of
company, exclusive Of the treasury
20 10 per cent of the capital stock
of the G. o. d. Consolidated Mining
stock by them to be sold for the pur-
pose of raising funds for develop
ment. The amount of stock acquired
was 5S3,785 shares. The reason for
making the sale is the remote loca-
ton Of the ground, and the belief
that 1t could be more profitably
handled in a homogeneous company
embracing the contiguous property,
The report continues:
During the year the mines oil
your company have produced 3d.
1882 tons having an average gold
value of $41.50 per ton; and 12,254
tons Of second-class ore which was
placed on reserve dump carrying an
average value of $7.76 per ton. The

tons containing $945,196.01, o.
$37.01 per ton; in all, 7~0,549.4S ton
of a gross value of $4,000, 1872
This production, relative small whel
viewed in the light of the company

made in the direction of productioi

cuted.
"As shown in the following report

A newspaper is the great ma
tional book. 1t penetrates into
the heart of nearly every family
and silently does its work. 1t
can drop the same idea into the
minds of thousands of people at
the same time. There are many
people who read nothing else;
almost no one reads that does not
read the newspaper and hence,
as an advertising medium, it is
by far the cheapest and best;
every business man who wishes
to prosper and become a power
in the land will have to keep the
word advertise" constantly be-
fore him; take advantage of it
on every hand; don't let an OPP
portunity pass to make your
name and business favOrably
known. Every advertisement in
serted attracts the eye of the
outside world, and nothing else
tends more towards the growth
of a city. -Mountaineer.
