Aid Quake Victims.

New YOrk-Not in many years have the latent charitable instincts of New Workers been 50 aroused as during the last two weeks. Thousands upon thou sands of dollars have poured into the cotfers of the relief fund for the Italian earthquake victims, and the end is not yet. Today is tag day" in the me tropolis, and it is expected that an immense addition to the fund will be made as a result of the efforts of the college girls and women workers of charitable institutions who are doing the tagging.
 Pathetic in the extreme were some of the scenes to be witnessed in the Italian quarter since the earthquake. Thousands of New York Italians are mourning relatives and friends sup posed to have been los; in the terrible catastrophe that devastated the fath- erland, but in the hour of their grief they have not forgotten the survivors who are in urgent need of assistance. Many countrymeI of the earthquake victims are living on the bare edge of starvation in order 10 contribute their mites to the relief fund. Women have stripped their scanty wardrobes of all but single garment in order that their sisters in Italy might have cloth ing, and men have been seen to re- move shoes, hats and coats in the street and present them 70 ILe collec- tors of supplies for the Italian relief society.

.Proteet Investors" Says Mead.

A Spokane, Washington, dispatch says: Legislation to protect the pur- Chaser of stock as well as the bona fide promoter from the manipulator is strongly urged by Governor Albert E Mead in his biennial message to the State Legislature of Washington, now in session at Olympia. Governor Mead says on the subject:
 ''Legitimate mining in this state has often suffered because of the failure to protect with wholesome laws that in dustry from the operations of un- scrupulous promoters. The unre- stricted freedom with which wildcat companies can be and have been ma nipulated in the mining districts of this state has cast an odium upon the industry of Washington, which can only be removed through the enact ment of laws that will effectually rid the state of this most undesirable class of fraudulent operators. Legislation should be enacted designed to protect the innocent purchaser of stock as well as the legitimate promoter from the irresponsible manipulatOr.
 Interpretations based upon unpat- ented claims should be declared ille- gal, since such holdings may lapse at any time; or else the board of directors of such corporations should be made personally liable for all debts con- tracted until the claims are patented at the expense of the promoters; no

The quarterly dividend of per cent on the stock of the La Rose Consoli- dated Mines Co.,, together with 1 per cent extra was sent out this week amounting 275,O ,OOOS to the company's shareholders. The financial statement sent along with it shows the company to have cash on hand, together with ore in transit and at the snelters, amounting to 34S,Sl9S.

"Suckers" Not Investors.

The worst enemy to legitimate min- ing is the fakir; and the next worse Is the sucker" If it wasn't for the sucker the fakir would be compelled to quit the business.
 An illustration is furnished by the case of the late Wellington Hurd, who committed suicide in San Diego this week. It now transpires that Mir. Hurd recently sold 5,OJJS worth of mining stock in Riverside, represent ing to the purchasers that the com pany he has representing had valuable properties in Rawhide which yielded enormously rich ore, that they had over 2O0 sacks of this ore ready to mill, and that mill was being built ana would begin crushing the first of No vember, all of which statements are now said to have been untrue. These people gave up their 5,000S on Mir H ird's roseate and unsupported state ments. Supposing some honest mine promoter had gone to them with q good straight, legitimate proposition well authenticated, would they have invested? Probably not. The people who bite at the faker's bait, usually expect to draw out a thousand dollars for every dollar they put in. Such people can hardly be called investors they are suckers" They are a detriment to the mining business, as ever afterwards they will tell that they invested" in mining and lost their money.-San Diego News.

All About the Figure Mine"

A Williams man who has spent some time on the figure says that in American history the figure has al ways been characterized by prosperity. The panic of 20 was succeeded by the great boom of go. Gold was discov- cred in California in '49, and at Pikes Peak, Colo, as we'll as in Virgiuia City, NevaGa, in '59. In '69 there was a period of prosperity throughout the country, especially m the south. In '.J the mines of Leadville, Colo, We're discovered and the mines of Tomb stone were pouring out streams If bullion that attracted all eyes toward Arizona. In 'S9 came the boom that collapsed in '03. In '99 the large out put of gold from the Alaska mines and the revival of trade after the Spanish war brought another boom. It looks as if history will repeat itself in l9J9 and prosperity will follow.-Williams News.

It is estimated that the big pumps out at the Searchlight are raising daily 25O,O00 gallons of water. Some idea of the flow can be had when it is told that when the pumps are stopped the water raises in the 5xl2 shaft at the rate Ut a foot minute. A crosscut has been started south from the 4OO- foot level. The estimated distance to be run k 40 feet. Following the open ing up of the ore on this level the mill will be started up.-Searchlight Bull letin.

Of the number of persons who re- gently went to the scene of the new gold strike, twenty miles north and east of Goldfeld, all returned full of enthusiasm for the district. Some specimens of ore were brought back by the stampeders, which are appar- ently of exceeding richness, the free gold being visible throughout the rock. Along the course of the principal vein system the ground has been located for a long distance, and many who left town at an early hour with the hope of securing locations were disappoint- ed in finding anything of promise. Many applications have already been received by the owners of the first strike for leases, and within a short time the section will be a busy one. The townsite will probably be chris tened Wilson, after the discoverer.- Reno Journal.

Big Mortgage Filed With Recorder.

Probably the most voluminous docu- ment ever filed for record in the local recorders office is a mortgage bond from the Arizona Power company to the New York Trust company, which Recorder Stewart was handling yes terday. The document covers forty eight pages of a closely printed book and is all to be spread on the records. The fee of recording will be something like 40S. It is a record of 2,0O0, COOS in first mortgage 6 per cent ? year gold bonds on the properties and holdings of the Arizona Power company, To- cated in the Fossil Creek district in the northern end of Gila county. It is the object of the company to furnish electric power to Prescott, Jerome and other towns in that vicinity. and the money to be raised from the sale of the bonds will be used in the explora- tiOn of this scheme.-GlObe Silver Belt.

A Comparison With Butte.

All the wealth of Butte is being dug oUt from beneath the surface of 1000 acres, and from copper ore that has averaged and will always average less than 3S a ton profit. Butte will this , ear mine 5,OOO, ,000 tons of ore; it's Lro- fits will be less than 100000 Co., bait will ship this year 10000 tons of ore, and its profits will be about s. O0O,0O0S. Butte has already produced a billion in gold, copper and silver, but its profits on that have not eX- ceeded l30, GOO, COOS, or 13 per cent of the gross output. Cobalt's wealth lies beneath the surface of l5,00O acres. and so per cent of Cobalt ore is profit; {; 20 per cent of Butte ore is profit with all its metallurgical improvements.

ment rendered by Judge J. J. Whitaker
of the city court yesterday. Jake Ra-

this up by collections from other fed
eral officials.

as a test, and argued i'm the city court
A. e. Christensen, who represents the

tax could be enforced against these Of

FINDINGS ARE VACATED.
Supreme Court Sets Aside Verdict of
Judge Richie.

The supreme court yesterday set aside
the judgment by Judge NJ. L. Richie of
the district court in favor of the Utah
Association Of Credit Men against the
Home Fire Insurance company of Utah,
because of uncertainty and insufficiency
of the findings in certain particulars
which were outlined by Chief Justice D.
n. StraUp, who wrote the opinion, in
which the other justices cOncurred. The
case was Temanded with instructions
that the findings be vacated, and find
ings of fact made on all the issues ten
dered by the pleadings with conclusions
of law separately stated.
The original suit was on a policy of
insurance issued to the Mona Corpora
tive Mercantile association, and as
signed to the Association of Credit
Men. There was a provision in the pol
icy for notice in case of fire. 1t was al
legged that the fire occurred on Dec. IA.
1904, and notice was not given, though
proofs of loss were furnished or June
.. 1905. The lower court gave judgment
for the Credit Men for the amount of
the policy, $1,000, and costs.
The fire insurance company appealed,
and is given judgment because of the
confusion of the findings.

MINING STOCK MIDDLE
BEING AIRED IN COURT
NJ. Kimball Suing for Allotment Of
Stock in the Colorado-Suc-
cess Deal.

Judge c. W. Morse of the district
court is engaged in trial of a case in
which Jesse Knight and other prOmi-
nent mining men are interested. The
action was brought by NJ. Kimball
against the Colorado Mining company
and the Success Mining company, Jesse
Knight W. Lester Mangum and jacob
Evans, as officers of the two compa-
MES. and Ernest Williams, secretary of
the Success company, whose disappear
ance muddled the affairs Of the two
companies. Kimball was a stakeholder
I'm the old Success company, taken over
by the Colorado company holding 1000
shares. He declares that under the ar
rangement by which the Success COM
pany was taken over he is entitled to
1850 shares of Colorado, which he never
received.
The consolidation was on Oct. Is, 1906.
when the Success holdings were taken
by the Colorado for $4,000 shares in
Colorado. The Success was incorpOrat-
ed for 800. 600 shares, and the division
was to be pro rata.
KimbaH makes charges of unfair
treatment and an intention to defraud
him of his. shares.
After Williams disappearance the
books of the Success company, accord
ing to Kimball, were in such poor shape
that the directors were to blame for not
having taken more care to ascertain
the rightful owners of Success stock
before distributing the Colorado shares
for It.
The case will last several days at
least
