Gussenheims Not Heavy Holders In
 Large Companies.


 Large Companies.
 That the Guggenheims own rela- lively small interests in the great con- panies which they are presumed to control, or dominate, is shown by the affidavit, sworn to by Daniel and three of his brothers, which was presented to the court in connection with the Wall injunction suit, heard few days ago at Trenton, N. J.
 The affidavit shows, according to the Salt Lake Herald-Republican, that the Guggenheims own 45,0l1 shares. or less than 24 per cent of the capital stock of the Guggenheim Exploration company; that the Exploration con- pany in turn owns 30 per cent of the capital stock of the Utah Copper com pany, while the Guggenheim owner- ship of Boston Consolidated is repre- sented by S,S01 shares of the 775,0OO shares outstanding, held by Solomon R. Guggenheim.
 The Guggenheim Exploration com. pany, the affidavit further shows, owns 379, ,4I6 shares Of the 2,0O0,0OO shares of Nevada Consolidated, or less than 20 per cent of the whole. In addition, Danial owns 52,O67 shares; Murry, 5S,- 55S; Solomon R., 46,5OO. and Isaac, ?, 400, making the total personal hoid- ings of the Guggenheims l99, l25 shares, or slightly less than 10 per cent. h. direct holdings, Mir. Guggenheim says, bring the number of shares up to 275,- l25, or less than A per cent. Danial Guggenheim denies the charge that T majority of the capital stock of the Nevada Consolidated company is owned by the American Shelters Security company, which in turn is controlled by the American Smelling & Refining company, the latter owned by the Guggenheims. He says that the American Smelling & Refining company is not owned, nor was ever owned. by him or his brothers, and that the company was never interested in the Nevada company.
 Sloan To Improve His Mine Property
 A Prescott Arizona dispatch says Yesterday the important announce ment was made by E. L. Tomlinson, superintendent of the Venezia mine in Crook Canyon, that it had been decided by the owners of that property, Cover nor R. E. Sloan and J. B. Tomlinson, to erect a modern ten-stamp mill inn mediately.
 Supporting the placing of plant on the property, Mr. Tomlinson also stated that the tonnage of ore in sight and available would reach at least lO,OOOs, and there was no question whatever but what the enterprise was an assured success from the moment the stamps started to drop. For sev- eral months the mine has been under and while but little publicity has at tended the work, the results accom- plished at all points have been more than satisfactory. In a few days the placing of a large force of miners will begin, and the property operated on a permanent and steady basis.
 Many years ago the Venezia was worked under lease by J. B. Tomlin- son, and thoroughly exploited. The mill that was erected on the pro operty was destroyed by fire, and this proved a serious handicap to further work ing of it. Later the purchase was made, and since that time considerable capital has been expended by Messrs. Sloan and Tomlinson, showing the existence of one of the best free gold mines in this field. The Venezia ground is the first south extension of the famous Crook mine that made history in the pioneer days of free gold mining in Crook Canyon, which
