Through Assessment Small Capital is
Enabled to Accomplish Big Results
(Denver Mining Reeord)

g many fine mines have been de-
.,oloned from funds raised through
ssessable stocks that it seems to be
S ~oor business in many cases TO con-
.,nue the formation Of companies on
No non-assessable basis. Many fail
',ros are charged up to the mining in
dnstry. which, as a matter of fact,
,rore not due in any particular to the
,ronerties but resulted because the
aon,nanies became bankrupt oft times
,rhen success was at hand. These
companies were unable to raise the
additional necessary funds because
their treasury stock was exhausted.
Almost every day we hear of old
nronerties which were failures under
the old system of financing becoming
heavy producers and dividend payers
through organizations and refinanc-
ing The pity of it is that the stock
holders who pioneered the financing
and development of these properties.
seldom, If ever reap the reward Of
IAthis early work. In the majority of
cases their investments are wiped out
when the reorganizations are carried
through Otherwise an assessment
must be paid on each share held in or
der to save something from the wreck
How much better it would be if the
stock Of company of this kind was
assessable at the beginning so that all
stockholders, big and< little, would
have to come to the front and turn
development funds into the treasury
in proportion to their holdings. If
this was done there would be fewer
failures chalked up against mining
and more satisfied mining investors
throughout the country.
The mining corporation makes it
possible for small stockholders to so
combine their finances that big min
ing development work can be accom-
plished. The corporation should bring
about the closest cooperation among
the stockholders but this is seldom ac-
complished in mining corporations be-
cause of the fact that these holders OF
stock are generally unknown to one
another and live at distant points
throughout the country. The assess
able company makes possible this ne
cessary cooperation between the big
and little stockholders.

MINING ON COMsTOCK
UNWATER OLD WORKS
AGAIN MINE DEEP LEVELS ON
FAMOUS OLD LoDE-VIR-
GIN GROUND.
Virginia City Gazette)

]
Superintendent Whitman Symmes
who returned yesterday from San
Francisco made the interesting and
important announcement this morn
ing that preliminary work is TO be
started at once at the Combination
shaft which will have for its object
the starting of pumping at this point
to drain the mines contiguous to the
shaft The first step to be taken will
be the dismantling of the old steam
hoist, and in it's place will be installed
modern electric hoist, compressor
and other surface equipment will be
put in as rapidly as possible, and a
start made towards reopening the lev
els that have been submerged for up
wards of 80 years.
Familiar Names.
Interested in the resumption Of OPP
erations at the Combination shaft are
six mines, the Best & Belcher, Gould
& Curry, Savage, Hale & Norcross,
Potosi and Chollar, known as the Mid
die group. 1t is proposed to equip the
shaft with hosting and pumping ia
cilities, but it will require compare
lively little work, as the shaft, only a
short time ago was placed in excellent
condition from the surface down be-
low the 1900, the present water level.
Small sinking pumps are to be put in
operation and the first point to be
drained is the 1000 level, and no diff
Guilty is anticipated in accomplishing
this judging from observations made
and general conditions.
The 1000 level will be placed in
working condition Immediately it is
drained, and this will permit all the
companies to begin operations on or
from this level and In practically I'M
explored ground In fact, most Of this
ground is entirely virgin After the
1000 level has been cleared, the next
step will be to unwater to the 2100
and 1900 levels which these compan-
les can work through the old WINES
as desired.
Down to 5000 Level.
Two OF the points desired first to be
reached at this time are the 200 OF
the Hale & Norcross, and the 1906
level of the Savage, where ore is now
known to exist according to the old
records and maps.
The ore was found in the Savage
after pumping was discontinued In
the early days, and the encroachine
water prevented its being taken out
The Norcross extracted $40 ore on the
l21O0, but the ore was not mined to any
extent, according to the records a.
hand. There are the principal known
prospects on these levels, and in add
ton there is a vast extent Of grount
in all the six mines that is yet to b.
explored.
AS the work progresses 1t will b.
carried on down to the bottom of tn
shaft, thus exposing the ore known t
be left in the old slopes from the $50
down to the 3100-foot level, and tn
ore known to exist near the 5000 leve
land at other points.

Stealing. a red hot stove has been
considered the last word of larcenous
audacity; the theft of gold from a hot
retort is not unknown; but these per-
formances are eclipsed by the story
told of the removal of half mile OF
copper wire from a high power trans
mission line through which an electric
current of high voltage was passing
while the wire was being cut. This
can be done and is often done, by the
use of the hot wire cutter, a shears

Shooting on Shannon HiII-

Tuesday night, last two Mexicans on Shannon Hill narrowly escaped
 being killed from a bullet fired from an unknown source. The two men,
 Rafael Esteven and Rafael Garcia,

 through the glass and went between
 them, missing them but few inches.
 Whether the shot was intended for either one of them especially is not known as the person or persons who fired the shot are not known, and
 have not yet been apprehended. Dur ing the strike Estevan and Garcia
 were very pronounced in their views of the labor troubles and were con- tinuaMy having disputes with the strikers and it is thought that some one of them with a grudge against

A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOV
 ERNOR OR ARIZONA.
Executive Department, State of
 Arizona.

In conformity with the provisions of Paragraphs 3937-2S-4O, Revised Stat utes of Arizona, 1913, Civil Code, I, George w. P. Hunt, Governor of Ari- zona, do hereby designate and set apart the fourth day of February, A D., 1916, as Arbor Day, to be ob- Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, and Yuma: and, similarly, I hereby designate and set apart the seventh day of April, A.

 Pursuant to a commendable cus- tom, l urgently recommend that Ar Dor Day, as above designated, be ob- served in the public schools and oth- CT institutions of learning through the holding of appropriate exercises and the transplanting of trees, shrubs and vines in public grounds and along common thoroughfares, so that the heritage handed down to us | by our forefathers may be transmit ted with enhanced beauty and value
 pCsterity. In view, moreover, of the important relation of all bird life to the public welfare, it is advocated that Arbor Day be made the occas- i ion for inculcating in the minds of growing generations the imperative
 necessity of affording protection to
 such feathered creatures as are
 naturally the allies of mankind in
 destroying insect pests and in ad-
 ding to the pleasantness of human ex-
 istence.
 In recognition, furthermore, of a
 worthy campaign inaugurated by the
 Arizona Federation of Womens
 Clubs, it is earnestly urged that the
 week, January 3Oth to February 5th
 1916, and the week, April 3rd tc
 April Sth, 1916, both of which in clude Arbor Day as above designat

JAPANESE EMPEROR
rs VISITED BY SON

Toxic, Jan. 25.-( Correspondence of
The Associated Press prince Sunni,
the infant son of the emperor, who
was born last December, paid his first
visit to his imperial parent yesterday.
With the sword of protection present
ed to him on his birth little over a
month ago, the infant, borne in the
arms of a maid, was driven to the pal
ace with great pomp and ceremony.
The procession was formed of several
state carriages and was escorted by
mounted police sergeants. Upon ar
rival at the palace the infant prince
was received by the princess and
princesses of the blood, officials of
the household and officials of high
rank.
A solemn ceremony was held before
the imperial shrines. The service
was Shintoist and was similar to those
performed during the conservation of
the emperor at Kioto in November.
Subsequently the child, his dress be-
ing changed, was borne into the apart
ments of his father. He was embraced
by the mikado who showed great pleas
ure that his boy had grown so big
and healthy looking and who pro-
ceeded to ask many questions of the
maids in charge. In honor of the visit
the emperor made the prince a pres
ent Of fresh fish. This is in fulfill
ment Of the Japanese customs of of
fering food gifts both to the living
and TO the spirits of the dead.
