Salt Lake mining men with interests in the State OF Nevada
have been receiving copies of the Kendall bill, recently passed by
the Legislature of Nevada, and which went into effect last March D
This law revolutionizes the transaction of mining company affairs
in the Sagebrush State, and too great publicity cannot be given TINS
law, as the penalties for 4 violation thereof are severe, while the
State means business. The law means to give a great safeguard for
stockholders of Nevada organizations, as its fulhllment will give the
State officials all the data necessary to be known twice a year.
Hereafter it should not be a very difficult matter to find out anything
desired about a Nevada company.
Every corporation owning, claiming, holding, leasing or engaged
in the business of working or developing any claim or group of
claims located in the State of Nevada is affected by this law.
Reports must be filed with the County Recorder of the county in
which the property is located, and with the Attorney General, in
June and November of each year. This report must give. the name
of each claim, whether patented or unpatented, the number under
development, how much is being spent on the same for anything
and everything, the exact location of the property, the nature of the
title, the date Of purchase of same, character and value of buildings
works, machinery and improvements generally, total number of men
employed, number of days they were employed, total number Of
shares the company is authorized to issue and has issued, the num-
Der of shares of treasury stock unsold and sold, and what the latter
brought per share, amount of money paid for salaries, etc, and last
but not least, the amount Of bullion tax paid during the past six
months.
The law divides stock into two classes, treasury and promotion
All certificates of treasury stock sold after April Is, 1909, must be
stamped in big letters in a conspicuous place, Treasury Stock, !"
and all other stock must be stamped, promotion Stock" All
statements must be sworn to by designated officers, thus opening
the way for prosecutions for perjury in cas- false reports are made
while officers whose duty it is to make these reports are liable to a
a stiff fine for failure to do SO; also the company is liable to a still
sitter fine.
There are other features of the law not touched on here which
make it imperative that all companies of that State, or owning
properties in that State, and which have already sold OF will sell ID
the future any portion of their capitalization, study the law care
fully. The law will not be a popular one, but there is one thing
sure, it will relieve western banks and newspapers from the trouble
of hunting down information in answer to inquiries, which in
formation at present is absolutely impossible in the majority Of
cases to be secured.

When the new cyanide mill being constructed by the Eureka

treatment Of the immense tonnage now blocked out on its properties,
and the reduction of the large bodies Of ore exposed in the Holly
mine on Adams Hill commences, the working of which will begin as
soon as the new concentrating plant to be erected here by the
company this Summer is ready for operation, together with the in
creased production of other mines in the county, it is reasonable to
expect that the above figures credited to Eureka County WIFI be at
least doubled this year.
