Nationals Treasure House
The actual discovery of gold in the
National mining district was made by
Jesse Workman and Lou Davis, pros
pectors, who noticed that what is now
called Charleston hill was lighter in
color than the surrounding noun
tains. They found narrow quartz
vein, carrying slight values in gold
and silver, and staked out claim.
This was in June, 1907 In 1908
George and Frank Stall, two brothers
from Marysville, California, who were
duck shooting, met Workman, who
showed them the property, and on
June 80, 1908, they leased a part of
the location. They started a shaft
and, forty feet below the surface,
encountered rich ore shoot, almost
fabulous in value. They had taken
out for themselves more than a mil
lion dollars before a cavein, in 1910,
injured both of them so badly that
they were unable to continue personal
supervision of mining operations,
and, on September 1, 1910, they sold
their lease to the National Mines
Company.
From this shoot located by the
Stall brothers the total production,
exclusive of that stolen by high
graders, is recorded at more than
$4,000,000. Large tonnages of milling
ore have also been taken out by the
National Mines Company, the total
yield being estimated at from $4,000
600 to $14.000.000.
The Charleston Hill Gold Mining
Company's claims, directly adjoining
Mines Company, were taken over by
the National Leasing Company on
April Z, 1917, under a three-year
lease, with the option of a two-year
extension. The National Leasing
Company is to pay percentages rang
ing from 10 to 40 per cent on ores
assaying from $50 to $1,000 per ton,
and is required to work minimum
of $50 shifts of eight hours each
month.
The capitalization of the National
Leasing Company is 100000 shares
and worcestershire. 1t is incorpo-
rated under the laws of Delaware.
It's president is George Graham Rice,
president of the Emma Consolidated
Mines Company. Mr.. Rice under
wrote one million shares of the origi-
share. less per cent underwriting
commission. and guaranteed to pro-
vide the necessary funds up to $4,000
a month for a period of twenty-eight
and one-half months from the organi-
zation of the company. The vice
president and treasurer is c. F. Bel
ser, president of the Old Emma Leas-
ing Company. The secretary is r. w.
Gnekow, secretary of the Old Emma
Leasing Company and the Emma Con-
solidated Mines Company.

five of their number to make test
case. George Gordon Battle, a New

delight of all suffragettes, President
Wilson has pardoned all sixteen wo-
men. and the progress of the writ is
accordingly halted. The suffragettes
Immediately announced they will send
out sixteen new pickets Monday and
keep up the war for Justice" The
President is said to be considering
the advisability of making suffrage
an emergency war measure in Con-
gress. If he decides that an emerg-
ency exists he will, il is said, feel
justified in forcing the Anthony
amendment through Congress as a
part Of the war program. In consid-
ering this possible action, ii is found
that in the Senate fourteen more votes
than have been pledged are needed,
while in the House seventy-three more
would be required to put the amend
ment through. Leaders in both houses
believe President Wilson need only
give the word and the suffrage pro-
gram can be enacted.
