proceedings. Pursuant TO further di-
r%ections Thomas Manning, as president
of the Registration and Trust company,
called a meeting for July 20 when five
directors were to be elected and other
business transacted. At that time, as
the complaint states, the trustee held
645, 1857 shares which had not been TAX
en- up, and which were to be placed in
the treasury of the new company; 2l1,-
900 shares had already been issued to
the treasury and to stockholders, about
I, tt2,415 shares.
When the meeting was called l.. L.
Patrick held proxies for 3S3,290 shares.
The Patrick interests nominated ii. G.
Clapp, l.. l.. Patrick, j. G. Damsky,
Fred Strain and VIM. Lipps. These
candidates for the directorate received
each approximately 100000 votes,
while j. G. Mckay, Ben Gill and f. A.
Byler ana others, nominated by the
Manning interests, received consider
ably less until Thomas Manning, presi-
dent of the Registration and Trust COM
pany, voted the 645, 5S7 shares of which
his company was trustee. This action
was taken over the protest of the
Patrick interests, it being charged that
no proxy prevailed for the use of those
votes. However, Mckay, Gill and By
Ter were declared elected and also Pat
rick and Clapp, though the latter two
refused to recognize the legality of the
election.
The complaint is concluded by the
declaration that the election was IL
legal in that the voting of the 645,5
shares was without proxy or proper au-
thority and the court is asked to SO
declare. On August il the matter will
come up for adjudication. The plant
if is represented by Thompson, More
house and Thompson, and Z. 7. Pat
rick.

The Grutt- Balloon Hill lease is break
ing down ore on the 1S5-foot level, in
tending to MAKE. another test run at
the Queen mill, since the latter COM
pany has installed their new pans. This
shipment will amount to 100 tons, and
if the run shows a good saving of the
values, il is the intention of Manager
Looney TO augment it with further
runs. The company has a large amount
of milling ore that they are anxious to
have milled, and as soon as they are
shown that they can be guaranteed a
good saving, tAey will continue the
treatment. The company has a large
a rantity of taIlings stored up at the
Nail, and these they will have treated

GOOD PROGRESS ON
WONDER JACKPOT SHAFT

Manager Z. s. Cunningham of the
Atlas company, which is the name OF
the leasing company operating the
ground of the Jack Pot Consolidated,
returned during the week from his trip
TO procure lumber for retimbering the
shaft. A carload of the material has ar
rived at Fallon and will Immediately
be brought into camp by teams.
The work of retimbering the shaft
is proceeding nicely, the inen having
reached the station at the 10O-foot level
New timbers will be put IN at the
station. the old ones having become
very rotten. At the present rate OF
progress it will be but a short time till
actual mining will be resumed won

Mr.. Brown saws it IS tho intention to
take over al holdings of these
companies and Inmate the separate
organizations Concerning the recent
litigation with The Indiana-Nevada
Mining company, he says that he and
his associates consider the case won,
and that nearly everything claimed was
awarded to them by the Tonopah
court. A description of developments
is also given.
"The Consolidated company and it's
constituent companies owe about 81 900,
being for expenses incurred in connec-
ton with the Indiana-N evada litigation,
that has not yet been adjusted. Be-
sides this none of them owes one
penny.
at is the present intention of the
company to make short leases on blocks
of ground to responsible parties fol-.
the purpose of having the property de-
veloped. 1t is believed that large
bodies of free milling mediam grade
ore will be found, and if such is the
ease a mill will be erected at o. near
the mine to treat the same. There
have already been developd thousands
of tons of ore which can be milled at
a profit, and some of which with rea-
sonable freight rates can be sold to
the smelters. Under the terms of all
the leases no ore running under SIS in
value ear be shipped by the ~lessees.
1t is estimated that ore running over

Queen Company Buys Mil.
The purchase of the Victor mill
by the Queen company, as announced
in tn, Press-Times last week, has
been ceasumneted as outlined. z. w.
King arrived in the camp last satur-
day and at once went down to the
plant, where he superintended the
transfer of the mill to the company.
This was aone and now it is being
operated by the Queen people. A run
is being made from the Phoenix lease,
having started Thursday morning.
Some buildings were purchased in
town for the assay Office, which will
be installed at the mill. These build.
ings have been moved to the site and
are now being placed in position.
Phoenix Waiting for Mil
The Rawhide Phoenix lease, on the
Queen estate, is being somewhat de
layed in the blocking out of ore, due
to the temporary shutdown of the
Murray mill. They have already near
ly 100 tons awaiting at the mill while
at the mine the Slopes are all crowded
with ore, as well as their l50-ton bin
on the surface. They will be some
what relieved in a few days when the
mill will again resume operations un-
der the management Of the Rawhide
Queen Mines company.
Manager Hurley says: CAS- soon as
the mill starts up, j will double my
force of men in the mine and continue
to develop and block out new bodies
of ore so that when tn, Queen CON-
pany have installed their cyanide
plant, which time is not far distant,

enough ore to keep the mill busy

NATIONAL, July 29.-Manager j.
F.. Kendall. of the National Defiance
Mining and Leasing company, has
nlaeed an order for "a 18Th. p. hoist for
the lease being operated by his com
PAW on the ground of the Charleston
Hill Gold Mining company. The pros
meet shaft on the lease, which $ four
by six feet in the clear, has ga.ued a
depth of se~venty-fve feet. Its bottom
is still in wash" ground, but there IS
every indication that solid Formation
will be encountered before much more
depth is gained.
Manager Kendall has been greatly
handicapped in the sinking OF the
shaft through the wash by surface
seepage water. As greater depth mas
beep attained, however, the volume OF
water has decreased, with the result
that greater Roadway, is being MADE
Az a matter of fact, the flow OF water
,eouires but little attention at present.
and it is apparent that as soon as Ded-
reek Is struck it will take care Oh
itself entirely.
With the installation Of a hoist oP-
s,.,;ons on the lease will be greatly
facilitated, and it is likely that import

The Ely Central Cope company
has ordered two big No. % traction
star drills and an air compr. issor TO be
added to its equipment. The com-
pressor is due here from Salt Lake at
any time and is expected to be in
operation early this elk behind
three machine drills at the Clipper. The
drills are coming from A IRON, Ohio,
by fast freight and are to be put in
operation in the vicinity of the Eureka

stockholders, and another producer
TO the district. The eros cut is iAow

next change which m into it, IL is
confidently expected will be the por-

This expectation is nut based so
much on theory as on tbs ocular dam

Eureka workings, where The geolog cal
problem of the Eureka is unfolded to
the eye of anyone who cares to look.
The conditions in the pit are identical
with those of the Eureka in every re-

the PIT with regard to the Eurek;l IS
the limestone showing . slative to the

DEFIANCE MINING co. AT
NATIONAL ORDER MACHINERY

The company has placed a small allot-
ment of treasury stock on the market
to raise more funds for development
purposes and the rapid in which
it is being subscribed, mostly by local
investors, makes it apparent that faith
in the future of the ground is not alone
entertained by the officers Of the com
pany, who are thoroughly experienced
mining and business men.
In addition to it's lease, the company
owns a good sized fraction of a claim,
adjoining the lease on the east, and
two full claims located east of the
Auto Hill property. The lease held by
the company runs for two years, which
makes it one of the longest term leases
thus far let in the district. The officers
of the company are: President s. X.
Bradford; vice president, R. Z. Pitch
er; secretary, Frank M. Case; treasurer,
Thomas D~efenbaugh; manager, }. r.
