MANHATTAN CON.
STOCK IS SOLD
MAY RESULT IN FORECLOSURE
OF MORTGAGE HELD BY THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK

The entire holdings of Nye county
of the preferred stock of the Man
haitian Consolidated Gold Mines com
pany was today sold to II. r. Cooke
at forty cents a share, making the
entire consideration $7704.40. 1t is
presumed that this stock was ac-
quired so that a suit to foreclose a
mortgage and trust deed on the
entire property of the Manhattan
Consolidated company can now be
brought 1t is inevitable that the
company seems to be unable to ex-
tricate itself from its financial diff
sulty and avoid foreclosure. As it
is the company, though allowed about
two years grace, has failed to re-
deem the property from the trust
deed, and the Nevada First National
bank, which is the trustee, is about
to proceed to foreclose and wind the
matter up. 1t is to be hoped that the
purchaser will be some good practi-
cal mining man or company, able to
thoroughly explore and develop the
property.

A. /. HOWE WRITES
TO SAMUEL PLATT

The following letter. which ex-
plains itself, was mailed yesterday:
Goldheld. New. July 4. 1916.
Mr.. Samuel Plat.
Reno, Nevada
Dear Mr.. Platt:
! am in receipt of your letter of
June 29th, and in reply | wish to
say that, contrary to the opinion
implied in your suggestion, | have
full confidence that the delegates
provided by law to be elected by the
people under the Australian ballot
system will honestly and in good
faith carry out the will of the people
| personally favor a simple, direct
primary law. The present primary
law is admittedly complex The
! adoption of your suggestion would
needlessly complicate II further and
entail an unnecessary expense and
great additional labor upon both can
didates and election boards. can
not see why we, the candidates for
one particular office, should further
complicate the matter by asking for
special rule which, IL granted to us,
could not be denied TO candidates
/ for any other office, and which the
law does not recognize. The appli-
cation to all contests or the rule you
suggest would add complexity to the
law to the point of chaos. The Re
publican voters of the state would
probably be quite interested to ascer
tain why you seem to hold the opin
ion that your candidacy will not
receive fair consideration at the
hands of the delegates who are them
selves directly elected by the people
| realize the necessity of following
the nominating procedure as lait
down in the existing law. and, there
fore, cannot adopt your suggestion.
Sincerely yours,

SO PER CENT SUNSHINE
FOR MONTH OF JUNE
NOT THE SLIGHTEST TRACE OF
MOISTURE VISIBLE FOR
THE LAST MONTH

H. Legler, observer of the United
States weather station at Tonopah,
maintains In his June report that the
month was no colder than usual. In
1907 the average temperature was
SO, and during the years of 1908 and
1914 it was 81, whereas this year
the mean temperature was 65. There
were 410 hours of sunshine or SO of
the possible. Out of 80 days, Is of
them had 100 per cent sunshine.
The report shows seven days credited
with over 80 per cent sunshine. A
remarkable incident is that there
was not the slightest sign of precipi-
tation. The coldest day was on the
21st, when the thermometer went
down to "a degrees. The wramest
days were on the 18th and 18th, when
N87 degrees was registered. The high
est wind velocity for the month was
SO miles per hour from the northwest
on the goth.

The note to the United States
promises to restore order in northern
Mexico and protect American terri
tory from raids if renewed. with a
suggestion that the presence of
American troops on Mexican soil is
largely responsible for the unsettled
conditions and that withdrawal
would go far toward eliminating the
sources of friction and difficulties,
There are said to be no specific
renewal OF demands for the recall of
Pershing's expedition or threats of
attack, but at the same time a re.
quest for a statement of intentions
is met by a general discussion of the
situation rather than by direct an
nouncement OF purposes.
The Mexican government states il
accepts the principle and sugges-
tions of mediation from the other
American republics. and invites the
United States to likewise record
itself.
