 A case in point is the universal out cry against "watered stock" of cor porations. Now it is doubtful whether the general consuming public has ever been injured by the issue of what is known as watered stock, but it is certain that investors have often been greatly injured, and, therefore, in the interest of investors s-which it is easy to show is the interest of the public the public regulation of stock issues is proper and desirable. But when it is proposed to "regulate" by pro- hibiting the sale of stocks or bonds at less than par for cash, or to au- thorize the Interstate Commerce Com mission to do so in the case of rail roads, as is proposed by the presi- dent, we incur danger which is stated as follows by the Wall Street Journal:
 "A railroad whose stock is selling below par sees an opportunity, by of fering liberal inducements to capital, to extend into field not yet served or settled, but one which may attract dangerous competition. As it starts with nothing but a franchise and a right of way, it is obvious that the new stock, and even the bolds for a time, will constitute what is loosely called water. The Interstate Com merce Commission, Objecting to water, prohibits the enterprise. Another and stronger railroad, which need not ask permission because it's stock is sell ing above par, builds into the terri tory in question and bankrupts the first road.

FORTY STAMP MILL
 FOR BI=METAL MINE

Rainbow mine on the 225 feet level, 175 feet north from the main shaft. The vein had been split for about loo feet. and the west fork, a small stream of variable values, had been followed. when the two branches uni ted again to form four feet of goos ore between well defined walls. Ten inches of the ledge assay from $40 to $50 and the balance is a good grade of milling ore. The breast is now midway between the south ore shoot, which is developed to a depth of 24O feet, with ore blocked out for length of 15O feet, and the Wind sail shoot, from which the former owners shipped much high grade ore The strike is of particular import ance because it is further proof of the belief of engineers who .have ex- amined the mine, that at greater depth continuous ore will be found under the basin connecting the two main ore shoots.
 The Pilgrim mine, twelve miles west from Chloride, owned by Bill O'Day, is being examined by engi- neers representing Spur & Cox, of New York. The Pilgrim is in the same range as the Gold Road mine and has ore of a similar character It averages about $S in free milling gold, and there have been very large onnages devloped in the last two years.

 He was not represented by any le- gal adviser, and pleasantly waived ex- animation. He was formally charged with smuggling Chinamen into the United States.

COPPER BASIN NOW
 COMING TO FRONT

Copper Basin district seems to be the center of more mining activity and energy at the present time than any other locality, and yesterday the beginning of another noteworthy pro iect in gold operations was announced by W. $. Bradford, the chief engi- neer of the Yavapai Bullion Mining company, a corporation recently or ganized. This syndicate has acquired large domain of placer ground in that district, and the intention is to begin the work of exploitation i'm mediately.
 The method adopted IS to slmce the gravel, and to do so pipe line will be the conveyance. Copper Basin wash will be damned and the line taken to the field to, be worked, dis tant about three miles. The survey for this purpose was completed a few days ago and the pipe, which will be four or six inches in capacity, will arrive in a short time. MT. Brad ford, in speaking of this enterprise, yesterday, stated that tests of the ground, made at many points, and covering several months of practical demonstration of values, is satisfae- tory, and he feels enthusiastic over the values given.

 The monthly reports of the super intendent, showing the actual number of days spent by each patient in the hospital show totals for the differ ent months as follows:
 March, 1,176; April, 1,217; May, 1,235; June, 1,236; July, 1862; Aug ust, 1876; September, 1,216; October, 1915; November, 1,224; December, 1,247. Total, 12,6O4. 12,6O4 days cost ss,41L56, or $.6674 per patient per day.
 One of the interesting features at tached to this report is the per diem rate paid for the maintenance of the county patient, which reached the low price of 65 cents per day on the county plan, as against 61 cents, the contract price of the lowest bidder In the latter case there was ineessant and vexatious complaint as to the care and accommodations given, which Occasioned considerable trouble and anxiety every year to the sup ervisors.

ed the richer stratas known were only handled, leaving the soil that carried the finer gold untouched. The company has acquired title to 1,120 acres of ground, and it is the inten- tion to have the plant under headway in three months, at the farthest. It is a close corporation, and is being financed by Los Angeles people. At other points in that district in past years thousands of dollars in gold was extracted from the ground at depths ranging from a few inches to less than four feet, and taken to Skull Valley for washing out. The grade of the product in that field is famed for its purity, being commonly class ed as ''shot" gold, and valued at as high as $2O per ounce, or practically speaking, pure.
 The principle of handling this ground by the above company is un- dertaken as an experimental one, but in it they believe they will be sue cessful, passing the conduct of the water supply as the only one they have to consider The enterprise is attracting considerable attention in that field, it being the first one on an extended plan that has yet been advanced to handle the ground, that is known to be rich at any point dug into.

EE5GMAN, Ariz., Feb. 26-E. NJ. Lamont, manager of the Bi-Metal mine. three miles south from King man, returned from Denver, Colo, where all plans for the immediate erection of a forty stamp mill have been completed. Bids have beeen re- eeived from nine machinery firms, and | the contract will be let within the next few days. Lamont expects to have the actual work of construction stated not later than April 10th.
 The batteries will be similar to those of the Gold Road mill, but in other respects the plant will be en- tirely different. The fine grinding will be done by Huntingtons instead of tube mills, and since all the ores, even the sulphides, are free milling, cyanidation is unnecessary, and the new mill will be a straight amalgama- tion process. There will be thirty two feet of plates under the stamps and thirty-twO more under the Hunt ingtons. Pierce Amalgamating quick traps will complete the amalgamating.
 The Bi-Metal, which has been un- der development by the present man. agement for the past two years, has been thoroughly prospected by three shafts and numerous open cuts. The result of this development is shown by many months of sampling and re- sampling, during which large ton nages of ore were virtually quarried, and then without sorting run through stamp test mill, is a body of ore estimated at 2,600,000 tons, assaying little over $4 in gold. The aver age of all mill headings to date is $4.16; the actual saving on ordinary plates has been about s, or 72 per cent, and it is on a basis of the lat ter value that all estimates have been made. However, with the ln- creased length of plates and better grinding the new mill is expected to make an extraction of about S4 per cent, or about $3.5O per ton.
 Several miles further south, in the same district, considerable work is being started on the Gold Butte and Fay Bonanza properties. Lewis Lusk of Spokane, one of the principal own CTS. has been examining the pros poets with good results. The entire bottom of a 40 foot shaft on the Butte assays $S, while ten inches of ledge on the Fay Bonanza runs $1OS; samples taken across twenty feet of ledge on the surface averaged $14.

QUARREL LEADS ID SERIOUS
 SHOOTING
,From Tuesdays Daily,

Mariana ValdespinO was shot in the thigh by John Martin near the lat ter's mining camp at Ramsgate, on Saturday night, and severely wounded. The cause that led to this affray was the burning up of several mine tim bers by strangers.
 Martin states they attempted to in flict bodily harm on him, which he resisted, pulling his gun and shoot ing in neffort to keep them at a safe distance.
 One of the bullets struck Valdes- pino in the upper portion of the thigh.
 Martin was arrested and brought to the city Sunday by Sheriff Smith. He will have his examination later.
 Last evening an operation was per formed on the wounded man, and the bullet extracted. It travelled in a circuitous route. It is believed the wounded man will be well in a few days, unless complications follow.

THE RECLAMATION SERVICE.

Words almost fail to express the just indignation that the officials re- sponsible for the conduct of the Reclamation service should have reck- Iessly begun projects enormously in excess of the ability of the fund to complete. Nothing more reprehensible has ever been done by any depart ment of our government. The recla- nation law was wise one. It em- bodied the principle that the money received for public lands within the state should be expended for the benefit of that state, but the law did not contemplate the expenditures should grossly exceed the estimated devenues available. It did not need to so contemplate, for experience is showing that an expenditure within the revenue would be quite sufficient to reclaim land as fast as settlers could be found to take the land at cost of reclamation. To reclaim in ad- vance of effective demand for the land is reckless waste which benefits nobody.
 Nevertheless, since the Reclamation service has got the country into the scrape, there is nothing to do but for the country to get itself out of it. Advances should be made to the fund sufficient to complete the projects upon which important expen- allure has been made, not a cent more. Whenever the land reclaimed has been sold and the success of the settlers indicates that they can pay for it. the national credit may safely be pledged to an unlimited amount for further reclamation, but until thac demonstration is made the purse strings should be held tight. This national reclamation is wise, because no resources less than national are adequate to the execution of these great projects. But the fact that they are costly should be recognized as evidence that the reclaimed lands would be costly, and that settlers could pay for them from the proceeds only as increasing population and de- velopment make markets for their products. We are not making homes for the "poor man. It is not a poor man s proposition. These farms will be expensive, but they will be worth all they cost. There is objee ton to certificates redeemable from the reclamation fund Straight bonds" are preferred, presumably redeemable from the several assets of the treasury. That is evidence that those who will buy the evidence of the debt has not confidence that settlers will be able to pay up ac- cording to the terms.
 There is great pressure from the states to obtain advances for com pleting these reclamatiOns. A fair proposition would be that the na- tiOnal government should undertake to issue bonds for one-half the cost of any project, provided that the state in which it is situated will issue bonds for the other half-in both cases under a general guarantee, but with the provision that redemption shall be only from the reclamation bonds until it is seen. that they can not do it.
