HYDRAULIC MINING COMPANY
IN HANDS OF A TRUSTEE

Fred Z. Browne, lately appointed oy
tho II. 5. court as trustee in mi
,rn,cv for the Round Mountain Hy-
draulic Mining company, left this week
TO assume control of the company
affairs.
The Hydraulic company started
operation with fattering prospects Oh
sueeess. but financial troubles caused a
suspension of operations. The principal
asset of the Hydraulic company Is the
nine line. put in at large expense.
There is a contest between the Round
Mountain Daisy and the general credit
ors of the Hydraulic company as to
ownership of the pipeline, and at the
hearing last week at Tonopah, before
the referee in bankruptcy, the claims OF
the Round Mountain Daisy for sl7,5OO
were disallowed. The Daisy company
pave notice that it would take the case
ON appeal to the United States circuit
court. In the meantime, it is said that
Trustee Browne will cut off all water
from the pipe line and not allow any
one to use it except upon payment OF
rentals to him.
1t seems that the Daisy company had
an option on the water of Shoshone and
Jefferson creeks, at a price of s2o,0o0,
and afterward made a contract with the
Hydraulic company to furnish 1t water
for three years for the same amount as
the purchase price. The Daisy failed
to pay anything upon the option eN
cept $500 collected from the Hy-
iraulic company. The Daisy's option
was forfeited but they claimed an in
debtedness of $1,000 against the Hy-
draulic company under the contract.
The decision was that as the Daisy did
not own the water it could not sell 1t
and therefore no Indebtedness was due
the Daisy company because of water
used, which, the court decided, belonged
to others.
1t is understood that a company SUBJ
sidiary to the Daisy, has an option on
the same water and that the first pay
ment of $4,000 is due on the 9Th Of
May.

What are the relations between the
American and United States Smelt-
ing companiesl' This question has
been asked by a number of mine own
ers, after having had experience with
each concern in the matter of selling
the crude product from the mine. A
schedule as to the prices to be paid for
ores is fixed between these two com
panies, according to the contention of
mine owners, and when once the price
is set by one company there is nc use
to hope for a better price in the local
market, says the Salt Lake Telegram.
The smelling companies in question
absolutely deny that there is an under
standing between them as to prices to
be paid for ores. They claim that they
are each In the market and that there
is competition from Colorado and other
smelling points. They claim that Utah
is being given the best smelling rate of
any western state at this time and that
the business at this point for several
years has been very unsatisfactory.
A competitor has entered the market
in the Tintic Smelling company. 1t now
has three lead furnaces in operation
with a total capacity of 700 tons a day,
and it's copper furnaces are treating
some custom ores that are to be. had IN
the Tintic camp. This company is in
the market each day in search of ores

Nevada that it has agents in the vari-

Last week County Surveyor H. IL.
Sheldon sold to Mrs. NJ. l.. Phenix a
one-half interest in the Willow Grove
mining claim and water rights in Gem
canyon, in the south end of the Cha

the claim for some time and has had
considerable work done on the ,rop-

which attracted the purchaser. Mrs.
Phenix, who bought the interest, has
had a great deal of experience in the

Active preparations are under q
by the capitalists in control of the
Wilson Mcneil lease, on Litigation hill,

Pie Paste Fer inYalids.

While there are pies which require
an unimpaired digestive apparatus,
as cocoanut mince, etc, there are
others, the filling Of which are so
wholesome or nourishing that II
seems pity that any one should be
debarred from enjoying them, but
many are so debarred because of the
rich pastry, made with butter or lard.
But harmless substitute for
either of the above ingredients may
be found in potatoes, and invalids
and children can indulge In the fam
Gus New England dish with impunity.
Indeed, It is a question IL everyone
would not be the better for refrain
ing from the shortened" pastry. and
as some Of the most delicious pies
ever eaten were made In this way,
nothing is sacrificed.
To make pastry for one pie, re-
quiring two crusts, take two cupfuls
jf warmed mashed potatoes. and one
cupful OF flour; dissolve lump OF
baking soda tsaleratus) In table
spoonful of water. Place potatoes
In mixing bowl, add flour and water
gradually. mixing with a spoon until
stiff enough to handle. A pinch Of
salt must be added. Flour mixing
board thickly. and knead with the
hands until fit to roll. adding u little
'lour as needed. as the potatoes are
1ulte moist and absorb the flour.
