REESE RIVER IS
COMING DISTRICT

There is a renewal of interest in
the Reese River district with the be-
ginning of the year and the advent
OF better times. At the first of the
year the Arson Nevada Gold Mining
corporation, which owns one of the
most valuable properties in the dis
trict, consolidated with another i'm
portant company whose property adj
Joined that of the Arson Nevada, the
consolidation makes one of the
strongest concerns in the state. The
Arson Nevada Gold Mining corpora
ton, whose claims are at the -four
ishing camp of Bonita, is one of the
few companies that has woman for
president. Under the presidency of
Mrs. Gerta j. Sutherland it has made
an excellent record and, with it's in
creased strength, it promises still
better results. Up to the first of the
year it was practically close cor
poration. But its stock will now be
put upon the market and the process
will be devoted to the development
of the large acreage of the company
upon a comprehensive plan. The
company has just opened Offices in
New York, where the president will
be in personal charge. The opera
tons at the mine will be superin-
tended by George A. Richardson,
one of the ablest and most exper-
fenced miners in the state and wide
ly and favorably known. The COM
pany has as directors such well
known men as Judge T. p. Ryan. a
noted New York lawyer; w. A. Linn
baugh, of the San Francisco custom
house; S. f. Sutherland of the New
York Sun, and c. Arson Barker, the
Nevada mining expert, who is gen.
eral manager and who is now in San
Francisco. to get new material for
the mines.

lumbia Mountain, Orc, and Night
hawk, Mr.. Wingf1eld said:
Such a deal has been under con-
sideration, but as yet nothing final
has been determined upon and it's
consummation is largely dependent
upon the degree of promptness which
those who are interested shall mani
fest in lending their support to the
project by bringing in their stock in
the various companies. My idea has
been that, in view of the fact that
the treasures of some of these COM
panies which had good ground were
depleted, while others have ample
funds, it would be a good plan to
consolidate several of them in order
to develop the best ground for the
benefit of all.
Il am willing and anxious to go
ahead with this project, which | am
convinced would be of material ben
eft to all concerned, but am not in
clined to undertake it unless the
various stockholders shall evince a
disposition to cooperate and lend
their prompt support. With such a
consolidation of interests we should
be enablde to at once begin active
work on the best ground embraced in
this large acreage whereas, under
present business conditions, and with
the present impossibility of realizing
a fair return from the sale of addi-
tional treasury stock in the compan-
les, it would not be practicable to
start extensive work on any of these
properties. '-Goldfield Chronicle.

COSBY REPORT

GEORGE W|NCF|ELD
Red Top Vein Traverses the Booth
Ground But Pay Shoot Not
Found as Yet.

A report which has been diligently
circulated throughout the press of
the country and which has plainly
emanated from sources interested in
influencing the price of certain min
ing stocks, has been given its quietus
by George Wingfield in an interview
in which he assures a Chronicle rep
resentative that neither he nor any
engineer in the employee of his firm
has ever stated that the Red Top
vein does not enter the territory of
the Booth company. On the con-
trary, the vein itself, if not the ore
shoot, enters the Booth claims and
traverses it for considerable dis
lance.
Il have said that the pay shoot
has not been located in the Booth, .
said Mr.. Wingfield at the Goldfield
hotel, but never have intimated
that the Red Top vein did not enter
that ground, and such a statement is
ridiculous, as anyone knows who is
familiar with the ground. The Red
Top vein is one of the most consist
ent surface groupings in that part of
the district and can be seen plainly
from a distance running directly
through the Booth and toward Co.
lumbia mountain. We hope that the
pay shoot may be found to extend
into this claim, but thus far it has
not been located
Regarding the project, rumors of

N MORE systematic method in crime. a

/ in the Black Hand than police authorities
k9 = have ever before been ready TO believe.
ESAAWSN The type OF criminal who employs the
tHSceESCI Black Hand ways, in spite OF the terror
he Is enabled to create. Is OF Q low order.
His intelligence is often seemingly more bestial than
human The discipline OF large band OF workers. the
secrecy necessary and above ALL the division OF spols
these call for understanding and a singleness OF
purpose that the ordinary Scilian and Caabrian rogue
does not possess
Because OF the recent revelations the alarming
gestion has been made that native American criminals
confidence and cracksmen OF superior wit and re-
sourcefulness have entered the field This would ac-
for the organization discovered. II would explain
the apparent subservience TO leading Intelligence and
It would satisfy questions the police ask to the
istence OF n central fund and working arrangement
common to several sections OF the country The Amer
can criminals would naturally hide themselves under
aliases OF Italian names and too, they would have all
arrangements that the foreigners and not themselves
should suffer in Of discovery.
The Black Hand is probably worse than other
forms OF backmail except in far that II causes
greater fear among its victims and more general un
easIness among the police The methods used In the at
tempt to break II up have proved OF little avail. A
penalty IA that for kidnapping might tend to

Receiver Reports Big Dcdcit ON 2Sth

Joseph y. Mayer. receiver Of the
2sth and 29th Streets Crosstown Rail-
road Company. filed yesterday with
the Public Service Commission the re-
port OF the road for the quarter ended
March 81. the New York Tribune says.
The report shows deficit for the
three months OF s4.27j and an operat.
ing ratio Of 230.02 per cent. In other
words. II cost two and one-half rs
much TO operate as its earnings were.
The road was divorced from the
Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany's system over n year age and
placed in the hands OF separate re-
ceiver. Il has In operation three horse
cars. which are run at fifteen and
thirty minutes headway alternately.
The road is S.3 miles long, with sin.
gle track and turnouts.
Gross earnings from operation for
the quarter were s3.174 and operating
expenses were s70l9. Income from
other sources was slOs and rentals
were s5sS. The balance sheet Is anus
ing. as the only item carried on the
assets side Is the quarters deficit OF
s4.275. The receiver says that he is
unable TO present a general balance
sheet" He adds that no other assets
exist. The figures as TO the cost OF
the road. he says. are not available.
As a sample OF high traction finance
the story OF the road is interesting
II received It's charter in 1855, but was
sold at foreclosure in 1895. II was
turned over to the Metropolitan with
capital stock OF si.5O0.00O and a
bonded Indebtedness Of like amount
This made its capitalization sses.3ss
a mile. which would seem TO be close
20 the record for street car lines. In
view of these figures the inability oi
the road 20 operate three cars without
a large deficit Is significant.
