In line with a more equitable al
justment of pro rata payments to
meet new expense the Sierra Nevada
and Union Con. mines have each de-
cided to increase its capital stock
from 100000 shares of the par value
of $40 to 100000 shares of the par
value of Sc per share.
Special meetings of stockholders
will be called to get the necessary
authorization For many years the
capital stock of Con. Virginia has

times the capital stock of Ophir and
Mexican was doubled and now con-
sists Of 200. 900 shares each.
The increase of the capital OF ST.
ezra Nevada and Union to the same
figures will put all the leading CON-
panies of the north end on nearly
equal footing as regards the individ-

Wash Out
Lays Out Crews

Unable to use large numbers of
their train and engine men. or place
them with other roads, the Salt Lake
Company has decided to lay off all
engineers. fremen, conductors. and
brakemen whom they cannot carry
on their rolls.
Already about 35 engineers and
firemen have been laid off. and it is
expected that as many brakemen will
be let out within a few days. There
cannot under the present conditions
be work for ALL and it has been de-
cided to allow the older men to re-
main.
The officials of the company have
made every effort to place the men
with other roads and have furnished
transportation to any point they
wished TO go to enter the service of
other companies, but Ine sudden
hrowing of so many men out of work
has made it difficult to find positions
for them all.

IN
CARSON JAIL
Effort Being Made For Release
on Bonds

Sidney Flower, also known as Par
meter Kent, formerly publisher of
the "Goldfeld Gossip" and under in
ulctment in the Federal Court for
illegal use of the mail, was brought
to this city yesterday afternoon.
Two members from the Z. S. Mar
shals Office of Chicago accompanied
him to this city and ne was landed
in the county Jail.
Flower is no stranger in this part
Of the world. Before he began the
publication of the 'Goldfield Gossip
he conducted some mining property
in the Jumbo District During the
time he made a number of friends,
as he was a hard worker and was
endeavoring to open up something
worth while in the camp.
His paper attracted a great deal of
attention and gained a large circuia-
tOn from the fact that in the start
it endeavored to show up frauds
and wildcats in the mining business.
After the strike and hard times hit
the southern camp, ne moved to Chi
cago, where he has been employed in
newspaper work. Flower is a clever
fellow to meet and the friends he has
in this city hope to see him cleared
Of the charge against him.
In Chicago he had a hearing before
one of the U. S. Commissioners, who
remanded him to the District of Ne
vada. Attorneys of Chicago offered
to fight extradition for him, which
was declined, as he wishes to see the
matter go to it's final hearing mere IN
Nevada.
Fr,onds of Flower We're out to-day
in the endeavor to secure bonds fO,
him in the sum of five thousand dol
lars. Part Of the sum has been Sc
cured and those who are interested
in his case hope to be abe to secure
his release.

are fed on alfalfa. and according to
Mr.. Douglass this has proven a very

power has proven economic and eff
