Merger Pending
Rumors have been current on the
streets for several days of a consolida-
tion of the Rawhide Coalition and
Rawhide Queen properties. E. w. King,
president of both companies was seen
on his return from New York, and
while he had nothing definite to give
directors of both companies had been
called to be held in Reno on July to
thoroughly discuss the proposition and
take action IL deemed advisable.
Any action taken by the directors
would, of course, have to be ratified by
meeting of the stock holders, but as
companies appear to be in favor of the
proposition it is fair to presume that
the consolidation will be made.
King has felt for long time that it
to take decisive steps to Increase the
capacity of the present mills and also
to add cyanide, tanks so that a much
closer extraction can be obtained.
Should the consolidation of the COM
panies be made a large amount of
treasury stock will be disposed of at
once, and either an interest in one of
the present mills will be obtained or
an entirely new plant will be built,
complete with cyanide and every detail
for the most economical and cheapest
extraction of the values from the ores
of the district.-Goldfeld News.
