PRAISES HERALD EXPOSE;
ASKS CONCERNING. AUSTIN

the editor of this department yes
terday:
211S Curtis avenue, Alhambra, Sept.
1890. Mr.. James Wynkoop, Mining
Editor Los Angeles Herald, Los An
geles.
Dear Sir: Allow me to express my
appreciation at the able and fearless
manner in which you have disclosed
the methods of the Standard in the
DEVILS Den operatives.
The proposed enactment of legisla-
lures of mining states to eliminate
swindling from mining Should receive
the support of every square mining
man.
From time to time your columns
have contained special correspondence
from Austin, New, with reference to
the Austin Manhattan Consolidated
Mining company. Does the AUSTIN
Manhattan company supply the in
formation?
Can you kindly inform me whether
Mr. C. E. NIiesse of the firm of Evans
Miesse company, investment bankers,
Fisher building, Chicago, is still presi-
dent of this company? Evans Miesse
& Co. promoted this company. Capital
stock, $4,000 900, a consolidation of
about $50 companies (?) at Austin, New.
S6,000.000 of the stock was allotted to
promoters and former owners and $4,-
900 to the treasury. Miesse was all
so president of the Octav> Mining
company of Arizona, capital stock, ST.
500, 900. Niesse was formerly interest
ed in the Penn-Wyoming Copper COM
pany. Evans was identified with the
Bully Choop Gold Mining company Of
Redding, Cal. Miesse was one of the
gang who assisted in putting through
the Cripple Creek Homestc,Se Mining
and Reduction company deal, which
caused ruin to many and was rank
swindle.
Promotion stock was issued as trea-
sury stock and 1 per- cent monthly
dividends was paid out of the sale Of
stock.
IF this man is still president of the
A-stin- etc, 1t might pay
you to write to R. G. Dun & Co., Chi
cago agency, as that company, has in
vestigated. Also to Mr.. Alexander w.
Grant, now deputy state insurance
commissioner of Co1odaro, but former
ly clerk and recorder of Teller Co.
Cripple Creek, Colo, and receiver of
the c. c. Homestake NJ. & R. company
His address is Denver, Colo. AS re-
ceiver he went before the grand jury
to have the various members Of the
gang indicted, but was barred by the
statute of limitations.
Miesse wrote me he was financially
and physically down and out through
trying to save 90 the Homestake. A
short time afterward he rose again
and was president of two companies
Gas above) with an aggregate capital
of $11. 5000
After the stand you have taken in
the Devils Den case you may like to
investigate this mans connection with
the Austin Manhattan, etc, as well as
the companies he is connected with.
He formerly worked a mine in the CEN
ter of the town of Cripple Creek with
man named E. A. Norton. A Los An
geles broker-J. E. Meyer-advertised
this stock for sale in the Los Angeles
Times in 1908. The $50 companies COM
prising the Austin Manhattan property
were reported for the most part claims
and 7 believe widely separated from
the plant which was supposed to han
die the output of their various claims.
Yours for square mining,
HERBERT It. ARKCOLL.

DETECTIVES ASSERT THEY
ARE UNABLE TO WALK BEAT

Patrolmen Talamantes and Rico,
former detectives who were reduced to
patrolnen "for the good of the SER
vice." were the subject of an earnest
debate by the police commission last
night, when an opinion from e. r.
Young, assistant city attorney, was
read. The opinion holds that Rico
can be reduced to the ranks and made
to walk a beat if he is physically able
to do so, because he was a patrolman
acting as detective. but that Talaman-
tes cannot be reduced arbitrarily by
the police commission, because he was
regularly appointed detective.
When they were reduced the two
former detectives filed complaints with
the police board declaring they were
unable to do work of patrolmen be-
cause of physical disabilities.

THE NEWS has been sending bills and statements to those owing us on subscriptions and for work. We are sorry to say that some have ignored our appeal for money which is justly due us. We need it and we must have it. We can't afford the waste of stamps, paper and time in sending statements, and therefore we have decided to place all past due accounts into the hands of a collector with instructions to get the money. Those who owe us past due accounts are invited to come and arrange for settlement before March 1 in order to save the extra cost of collection fees, etc., incurred when the accounts are sued and thus collected.

Plenty of Work

The double track which the Santa Fe railroad will lay down between Winslow and Dennison, a distance of 14 miles, and between Flagstaff and Ash Fork, distance of 53 miles, will involve large expendi- ture in money, and as the railroad company intends to complete the work between the above mentioned points at the earliest possible mo- ment, a very large force of men will be engaged on it. This means that thousands of dollars will be spent for all manner of supplies by the workmen, large portion of which will be spent with the busi- ness men of Williams.
 The work will start from the Ash Fork end within two weeks. Steam shovels will be employed both there and at Flagstaff, where the graders will start in about a week. Grading from Winslow to a point three miles west is completed and the work goes merrily on.
