UNWATER|NG MINE

PREcIPlTATE ACTION IN AS
sUMiNc HEAVY EXPENSE.

Mr.. Seely w. Mudd, one of he prln-
cipal stockholders of the Tonopah
Mines corporation and director in
the Tonopah Victor, is spending few
days in Tonopah looking after the in
terests OF his companies. He is large
ly interested in the Victor and is pay
ing special attention to the water
problem which confronts that COM
pany. Ever since the flood broke
through the workings of the Merger
the Victor shaft has held over 300
feet of water which is kept replen'
ished by the flow from an under
ground chamber in the Merger. This
fact is demonstrated by the subsi'
dence Of water in the winze of the
latter. which is almost ready for re
sumption of work where the men
were driven out nine months ago.
For the present the Victor will not
install pumps, as the management
has decided not to act hastily, and
policy of watchful waiting viii be
observed. If it is found that the
water does not yield to the balers OF
open a channel of escape through
seams in the underlying strata pumps
will be put in as a last resort.

Creek, Carroll County,
Writes:

81 avn opposed to Statewide prohlol-
ton because It carries with it fea-
ture of oppression, and does not d.
minish crime or stop drunkenness. 1t
does not add anything to the cause of
temperance.
az endorse Local Option because it
gives to each county and community
the right to control the sale of liquor.
The law, in connection with Local OPP
ton, if strictly enforced, is sufficient
to hold in check the illegal sale OF
intoxicants. In my humble judgment
Statewide prohibition will take from
our State a considerable revenue, and
increase the burden of taxation. This
matter should be duly considered by
the good citizens Of the country"

that class Of holding companies
which arc recognized evils.
The interlocking director is another
evil which the bill reaches, dividing
the subject into three parts, common
carriers, banks and trust companies,
and industrial corporations. A d.
rector of a common carrier will be
prevented, two years after the pas
sage of the bill, from either buying
and selling the securities of the ROAD
to himself, or buying supplies from
himself. This evil has long been
recognized as vicious, and no one has
appeared to make serious objections
to the provision, the necessity for its
enactment being universally recog-
nized and acquiesced in. The bill
permits interlocking directors n
banks and trust companies in cities
of less than 100000 population, anG
in banks where the undivided profits,
deposits, capital and surplus does MOI
exceed S2,5OO,O0O. The same rule Is
applied to industrials, the effort be-
ing to prohibit interlocking directors
in large concerns where the oppor-
tunity for evil is the greatest, and
vet does not disturb smaller opera
itiops which do not approach mo-
nopoly or restraint Of trade.
