r. Y. j., Harrisburg, Pa.-We canno'
undertake to answer inquiries by mail,
nor can we answer queries in the paper
from non subscribers. The reason Tor
this would be patent to you were you
familiar with the details of this ofhee.
We receive on an average of 100 letters
a week from every part of the country
yes, and foreign countries also, ASH
ing advice and information on stocks,
properties and every conceivable sub
;ect. To answer all these inquiries by
mail would entail the employment of a
r~eoular high priced staff of correspond
ents and tpyewriters; and as no con-
pensation is offered, it would be too
much of a good thing" We do answer
oueries of subscribers, and answer them
free of cost, in this department. ocea-
s~onallv we answer a query OF a non
subscriber when we think the query and
answer would be of interest and beneht
to many readers. We want to be OF
service to subscribers in every way
possible, for they are the people who
are paying us from week to week Tor
the news of this and other districts, and
they are entitled to the best service we
can give them. We are under no opii-
CATION, however, to keep up an estabiisa-
ment simply for the convenience and
benefit of the general public. our
Query department is edited with much
care and with the strictest candor, and
we know it has been of great value u
subscribers in making and saving
money, for we have files full of letters
to that effect, and which is very graf
flying to us, of course. The subscrlp-
tion price OF the paper is very small,
compared To the service to be had from
the Query department, were 1T OF no
value otherwise.

j. L. w. Co., Portland.-Our Manhat-
tan representative writes us as follows:
The Timpahute Gold Mining company
was incorporated about two years ago
by the Maris-Jayne company of this
place. They sold some treasury stock and
have a shaft down on the property 100
feet and a tunnel opening up another
ledge. Our information is that there
are good showings and that they have
a big ledge. We are also informed
that more than a year ago the Maris-
Jayne company gave to lorna & Co. an
option on their promotion stock but this
option has expired.
J.. B. r., Santa Anna, Cal. We have
the following from our Manhattan rep
resentative: We have no specific in
formation about the Manhattan Divi-
dends Mining company. There is suen
u property near old Manhattan and we
have heard that about two or three
years ago a shipment of ore was made
but the values were such as not to be
profitable as a shipper. We have not
heard of any work being done on this
ground lately.
G. A., Pittsburg, Pave have con-
suited the managers of the Manhattan
Mizpah, and find hat two leasers are
working upon the ground, and have
Leen working steadily for four months.
One shaft is down 10 feet, and some
drifting has been done. We do not
known the depth of the snaft on the
other lease. The company did its an
nual assessment work on its property
for the year 1908.
