Sensible Decision on Wild Cat Law

decision in a test case has recently been rendered by the su
"a preme court upon an important phase of the Kendall wild
IA cat law.
The point at issue was a judicial Interpretation of section 6 of the
law, relative to the stamping of stock certificates as Promotion or
Treasury -
II does not seem that the trainers of the law intended that It
should be retroactive, but the matter was taken up to the court By
Il. G. Moore against the Manhattan Verde company. Moore had pre-.
scented certain certificates to the Verde company and demanded that
they be stamped in accordance with the provisions of the wild eat
law. The company refused to SO stamp them, taking the position that
they were not required under the law to stamp transfers
The decprp clarifies the law by maintaining that it is the intent
of the law that such stamping should be done only OH such certificates
as were originally issued by companies subsequent to the passage of
The law, and dpd not apply TO ordinary transfers Of stock which had
been issued anterior to the law; to maintain a retroactive effect would
be not only mjust but practically impossible. for how could it be
determined whether a certain certificate, descended through various
transfers from treasury or promotion" stock. or whether years
ago the stock OF that company had been so divided or characterized.
The ruling of the supreme court defines the meaning of the two
classes and states that Treasury Stock is such stock as has been
set aside for the actual development of the property. In other words
that the money derived from the sale Of this stock will be actually
used in the development of the mining ground of the company selling
The stock. Promotion Stock is such stock as is issued to those wh1
may originally own the mining property o r valuable rights connected
herewith in consideration of their deciding the property To the com
rany when the company is incorporated. Or it may mean such stock

Colorado Unappreciative

LILLE making good progress in agriculture, Colorado is sun
w mainly dependent upon its mineral resources for its prosper
ity. 1t is a mining state par excellence. Recently 1T has De-
come hysterical over its irrigation possibilities and its commercial
bodies have been neglectful of the mining interests The state does
not seem to appreciate the honor and Importance impaired to by max
ing the city of Denver the headquarters for the American Mining
Congress. The Mining Congress during the last few years has done
most excellent work under great difficulties. 1t is safe to say that
the formation of the Mining Bureau is due largely to the efforts of the
Mining Congress.

Range Of Ore Development Increasing

~ He latest reports indicate that the various workings in the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines are more than maintaining their
usual magnificent condition. The uncoverngs and the prep
arations for extraction from the Red Top ground announces another
deposit that will afford to flow of gold of which no one now meas
ure the extent 1t is fair to assume that this ore will extend from
the 800 level to a. least 1000 feet deep if not 1900 feet 1t does seem
as if real mining was only beginning in the glorious Goldfeid dis
trct. The big mill is again in full commission, and while no high
grade shipments have been made to the smelter during the month of
June the indications are that the output will be of it's customary
handsome proportions.
Other gratifying announcements are anticipated from the en-
counterings at 400 feet and deeper very soon.

Nevada's Position in Mining

kkN YEvADA today is the leader of the mining world, just as its
stocks art leaders in the mining share market Such is
the declaration of a carefully edited New York Journal
whose speciality is mining interests and stocks of metal producing
properties.
That one assertion, made after investigation, a study of statistics
and current production, as well as guarded glance into the future,
should be a complete refatation tc those croakers who whine of quiet
times and the absence of booming excitement
While it is true that there are no hysterical booms now existent
in Nevada, where wildcatting and all it's attendant evils ire being
stamped out, there is better and saner mining being theoretically
pushed throughout the state than ever before. A closer economy is
practised and greater attention given to higher per cent of recoveries
of the precious metals.
AS a result of this cautious operation generally effected, The record
of dividends declared in the month of May, completing five months
Of the current year, brings the aggregate up to $5 10000 as profit dis
onrsed to stockholders, and, according to this New York authority.
places Nevada at the head of the list of dividend payers thus far this
richest in t he world" In order to appreciate this statement it must
be remembered that in the total production of gol1, silver, copper and
lead during the year 1909 Nevada ranked fifth among the states of
the union.
notwithstanding she has been outranked in total output so far
this year, her dividend declarations amount to more than those of the
states of Montana, Idaho, Arizona and Alaska combined more than
those Of Michigan, Utah a nd Colorado combined and almost a mucb
as the aggregate OF all the mines in Michigan, Utah. Colorado and
South Dakota. in which latter state is located the fom,us uomestaka
property.
Putting the same results in another way. Nevada mining com.
panies in the first five months OF this year declared dividends totalliny
onehalf as much as all the dividends declared by All the mining COM
panies of Montana. Arizona Michigan. Utah, Colorado, Arkansas.
South Dakota and Idaho. And it 81 record to be prcud Of
p"t u &c years ago wa output was smaller than that IF

Waiting for Nixon's Word

few Republican candidates announce themselves this morning
n in the local Nixon organ. They were mostly for county offices
however. Nixon has not decided upon all his candidates for
the house and senate. and therefore no formal announcements were
made for these positions. As Nixon will finance the campaign of the
candidates for the legislature and senate on the Republican ticket, he
has the say and none others seem to have the temerity to
come ont in defiance of his barrel. In fact, this will be an expensive
campaign for Senator Nixon all the way through. In order to win him
self it is necessary to have a s strong county and legislative tickets as
possible: and to induce candidates to make what they know to be a
hopeless race and sacrifice, he has been compelled to furnish the money
for their campaign, otherwise no one would run and he would be
without backing in the counties.

LINE MEN AFTER
HIGHER WAGES
Chicago Telephone Co. En-
ployes Walk Out Thurs
day Noon.
TWENTY MEN ARE AFFECTED
Have Been Invited to Attend Central
Labor Body in Near
Future.

A demand for higher wages by the
linemen employed by the Chicago Tele-
phone company may or may not bring
about "a hitch between the men and
the company in the near future A truce
has been declared between tfWH % par
day afternoon, when the men laid down
their tools. According to the men the
differences have been temporarily
patched up, they having been out only
half day.
About twenty linemen are employed
by the telephone company. and while
they are organized among themselves,
they have no seat as yet in the central
body of the Trades and Labor council
They say they have been invited to join
and this may be one of the first steps
that will be taken In that way they
hope to have the backing of organ
lied labor if their grievances are put
to test.
We want higher wages" said one
of the linemen today. for we think
that we are entitled to them. All we
ask, is what is fair. If we should join
the central body of organized labor
in Lake county, that body would not
attempt to dictate to us what we should
demand. We could settle that among
ourselves and we would be reasonable
about it."
