Flynn's engineers, according to
Plat, discovered that the ore was
absolutely worthless and that the
samples previously taken had been
sailed. 1t also transpired, according
to the charge, that the mining COM
pany's engineer likewise had been
deceived and knew nothing of the
sailing. Plat says Phelps is charg-
ed with sailing the property and then
with sailing the samples taken by
Flynn's engineers. The action is
brought under the stockholders liza
bility act of California.
Attorney Plat says it is evident
from the examination made that
placer and other gold was smuggled
into the sample sacks. Some placer
gold was discovered, and the char
acter of the gold, Plat says, is for
eign to any property in that district.

A. A. CODD TELLS OF
NEW STRIKE OF GOLD

Four feet of gold ore averaging
better than $50 a ton has been dis
covered between Rochester and Will
lard, A. A. Codd, president of the
Nevada Short Line says. He came in
from Rochester last night, but in
tends to return again tomorrow.
THE new strike looks very prom
isipg," said Mr.. Codd. "It vas made
by HARDWOOD, promoter of the lower
Rochester townsite and associate and
shows a better looking ore for gold
than the quartz of the Rochester
properties. The have sunk
eight to ten feet on the vein and
propose to get out a shipment of
ore as soon as possible. The strike
is between Rochester and Weaver
canyons, a little over a mile from
the big draw on the railroad and
four Or five miles nearer Rochester
than the new camp of willard"
Ralph Meeker, secretary of the
Rochester Hills company, who spent
Sunday at Willard, says that pros
pecting in the Humboldt range has
been given a great impetus through
the discovery of willard. He saw
l.rospe ctors in great numbers near
the new comp and counted thirty au-
tomobiles at one time while there.
The new mill at Rochester Is treat
ing 100 tons of ore daily, of which
SO to 60 tons is from the Codd lease.

CRITICISM Is LEvELED
AT JOSEPH F.. NENZEL

Sharp criticism is leveled at Joseph
F. Nenzel, Father of Rochester,
in a report issued by the Rochester
Mines company. the corporation
which Mcneil founded. but of which
he later lost control. The report is
in pamphlet form and Is signed by l..
A. Friedman as general manager.
1t is stated by Friedman that a
great many stockholders of the COM
pany have, within the last month,
appeared at the office of the COM
pany and sought to sacrifice their
stock for almost any price. In every
case, he charges, the sacrifice of
stock was traced to reports circulat-
ed by Mcneil to the effect that he
held the apex of the Rochester vein
on his Elda Vino claim and to a
further report that the present man.
agement held a mortgage on the min
ing property which it proposed to
foreclose.
In reply to the rumors, Friedman
says, there is no possible chance for
an apex suit, as the apex of the vein
system has been well established.
He also declares that there is no
cause for uneasiness as to the loans
made by the company, as the time of
payment is subject to extension and
it is expected to meet all obligations
under the present management.
The report shows $1,421,937.22 in
total assets, with a similar amount
in total capital and liabilities. Gross
ore shipments to March 81 were
$642,49O.56 from six leases, and
royalties were ~$52,2O5.75. The av-
erage value per ton of ore was
$23.37.-Gazette.

TO HAVE CONCENTRATION

day in the city. and states that Mr..
Knight is expected out from Salt
Lake City in the near future to per
sonally inspect the property, in which
he has been interested for some
years. 1t is Mr.. Brim's desire to
erect a concentration on the property
during the present year, for which ar
rangements have been made with
the Nevada Consolidated for a sup
ply of water. The property has a
considerable amount of development
work and is showing a large tom
mage OF concentrating ores which
could be put into commercial form by
concentration.
Mr. . Brim also states that the
Ely Gibraltar company contemplates
the erection of a concentrating plant
during the present Year. The Gibral-
tar has been developing steadily for
several years and makes a splendid
showing for Ore.-Ely Record.

MINE WAS Sailed
SO Finn CLAIMS
SAM PLATT TO REPRESENT BILL.
MOOSE LEADER IN THE
CASE

\ Sam Plat leaves for San Francis
co tonight to appear in the superior
court there in ali action which
resulted from the alleged sailing of
a mine in Sierra county, California,
and it's subsequent sale to Senator
William Flynn. Pennsylvania Bull
Moose leader, for a contract price of
s250,000, of which $4,000 in cash
was paid, says the Reno Gazette.
The action is brought against the
the "21 Mining company's' property,
for the RECESSION of the contract under
which Flynn agreed to pay $250,000,
for the recovery of the $4,000 paid
when the contract was signed and
the recovery of money spent by
Flynn in improving the mine.
According to Attorney Plat a very
clever scheme was worked OF Sena-
tor Flynn's engineers and also on
the engineer of the company, it be-
ing charged that F. M. Phelps, one
of the directors and stockholders,
cooked up and put through the
scheme. 1t is alleged in the COM
plant that Phelps placed in the sam
Piles taken for assaying placer and
other gold and that high values we're
shown by assay returns as a result,
when, as a matter of fact, the ore
was worthless.
Plat says the property, which is
located near Allegheny, Sierra coun-
ty, California, was called to the at
tention of Senator Flynn and he sent
engineers to examine it. TIE con-
trolling interest in the company is
owned by J. M. Hunt. a San Fran
cisco fruit man; Mansfield Lowell, a
San Francisco capitalist, and other
Californians. Flynn's engineers
were attracted to the mine by assay
plans submitted to them by engi-
neers whom they appointed to ex-
anime the property. On the strength
of the assay plan an inquiry as to
the merits of the mine was made,
samples were taken and the sampling
fairly we'll checked up. AS a result
of the assays Flynn entered into a
contract to buy the mine for $780,
900 and paid $4,000 after returns
had been secured from second sam
piles taken and assayed. 1t is al
legged that Phelps was present when
both lots of samples were taken and
assayed.

struction of a 75-ton mill and other
work. While making another exam
