Some time ago an agent Of the
Arizona Ray company spent some
weeks in Tonopah selling shares on
the strength of an alluring pros
pectus. An effort was made to estab-
fish an agency with a well known
Tonopah broker. but the latter de-
clined to have anything to do with
the promotion However, large
block of stock was disposed of in
Tonopah and the holders may be in
terested in the following extract from
the Oatman News:
According to the Los Angeles Elk
aminer. the Arizona Ray Copper and
the promotion methods followed in
the distribution of its stock in the
local market form the subject of a
letter that Corporation Commissioner
J Carnahan has written under date OF
December to the Los Angeles stock
exchange.
The specific purpose of Canadians
| letter is to obtain from the exchange
copy of the application for the
listing of the Arizona Ray stock. In
connection with his request Carnahan
says
THE information will be of ma
terial assistance to the department In
an investigation that it is now max
ing of the stock selling methods Of
local agents for shares of this com
pany.
IF information that have received
is correct, these agents have. in pub
lished advertisements. repeatedly mis-
represented the facts to the public,

ARIZONA RAY COMPANY SCORED
BY A BLUE SKY COMMISSIONER

letter to mention specifically adver-
tisements of certain dates and quotes
from them. He takes exception to q
statement in an advertisement of the
Arizona Ray company itself to the
effect that shares of that company
listed on the Los Angeles and San
Francisco exchanges ARE treasury
shares and says that he understands
that such stock was really sold by
the company to local agents here"
Among other statements of the
commissioner is one to the effect that
certificates are being sold against
pooled stocks held in escrow. He
also says that question has been
raised as to whether the Arizona Ray
really owns twelve claims free of
debt adjoining the Ray Consolidated
and Ray Hercules.
A misstatement in another adver-
tisement relating to the number OF
churn drills operated by the company
is alleged by the commissioner.
Carnahan concludes his letter by
notifying the stock exchange that il
it cares to consider other similar
matters in this same connection the
files of his office are open to the
board of directors at any time or
request.
The Arizona Ray company is CAPT
talized at 100000 shares of pal
value of 10 cents. Since the stocl
was listed on the Los Angeles ex
change, early in October, the sales
have aggregated over 100000. Ii
addition, it is understood that there
have been other heavy transaction
over the counters of the promoters.

The resumption of mining and
milling in this district is now general.
The Belmont mill had no difficulty in
starting its Pachuca tanks and the
balance of the machinery started off
without hitch.
The Extension was extremely for

a boggle and the mine now has full
quota of power. Already the water
in the Victor shaft has been lowered

BAD M|X-UP IN

THEIR DUTIES UNTIL
JANUARY 5

It's not question of who's who
SO much as it is who will be. or,
rather, when they will be. In the
courthouse today. 1t seems that the
act of 1865 was amended by the act
OF 1913 and was again amended by
the act of 1915, without any cogni-
zance in the latter case given to
the amendment that took place in
1913. In other words, there is a
general mixup.
One thing is certain: Larry Glass
will take office as county clerk on
January 2. The Law provides that
the clerk shall qualify before the
district Judge. This has been done
and Mr.. Glass will be ready Tues
day, with Lowell Daniels as his
deputy.
Happy Jack Barrier is at thu
county treasurer's Office today, ever
If he doesn't take charge until thu
9Th, when the commissioners approv'

Mrs. Curieux will probably taxi
office on the 5th.

There is a most peculiar mixup i
