LONDON, June 24-Profound dis
trust of Germany is the predominant.
ing note of London press comments
on the German decision to sign. 1t is
contended that the Germans proved
treacherous throughout the war, the
latest instance being the sinking of
their interned fleet at Scapa Flow
therefore it would be premature to
celebrate peace until the treaty is
actually signed, Even afterward it
is said, the allies must be contin.
ually on guard until the last penalty
is paid. The Herald, Socialist organ,
says: Germany cannot and will not
keep the treaty, because it is based
on force instead of Justice"

Reconstruction Of Smelter Proposed
PLAN 70 INSTALL REERBATORy FURNACES AND RNANGE MINING and
RAILROAD COMPANIES

y
months a bond issue 81 nearly one
million dollars has been voted
.Iby the Irrigation District for the
conservation Of water ON the East
and West Walker Rivers, which
project alone will bring thousands
sof acres of new land under Gull
tivation and settlement in these
two valleys which are tributary to
the rairoad.
In order to attain the best re-
suits, to secure the handling OF
the ore from the mines for the
railroad and to keep the district
producing at its best, it becomes
necessity to refinance and reor-
ganize the mining company; and
because of their close interrela
stion and Of the tremendous ore
tonnage for the railroad the re-
financing of the mine is OF vital
Importance to the railroad.
As a result of the test made in
the early part of the year and the
determination arrived at, at that
time, that particularlyttae cturaih
time, that practically all OF the
ores from our district are flota-
ton ores, the Mason Valley com
pany has applied through the state
commission for special rates on
concentrates from various sec
tions OF Nevada and California
with the purpose in view OF
changing the smelter at Thomp
son from blast to a reverbera-
tory smelter, at the same time
providing for the concentration OF
their own ores by the erection OF
a tlbtation mill.
The bonds Of both mines and
railroad are due and the situation
is such that in order for the mine
company to get the value out OF
its ore by f1otation it will be ne
cessary for it to expend approxi-
mately S200,00O.00 in a fiotation
plant For the purpose of tax
ing care Of the obligations Of the
mine and railroad, supply the
capital necessary to permit the
economic extraction of the ores
and to put these properties upon
permanent going basis the fol-
lowing proposal is made: That
the bonds of the railroad COM
pany be extended by their hold
ers Tor period of three years.

That in order to enable the n1lne
to float a new bond issue and gel
necessary capital without IN
creasing the debt upon the rail
road company the holders OF tho
railroad bonds release the mine
company from its guarantee up
on the railroad bonds. The mine
company is then to Immediately
meet through its stockholders and
authorize a new first mortgage
bond issue on it's property Tor
such All amount as will pay its
present debts and supply the new
capital necessary. The estimated
total at this time being S500,OOO-
60 or $oO0,O00.0O. The railroad
bondholders are to meet and au-
thorize the extension and release
Ilereinabove provided for when
issuance and sale Of the mine
bonds is reasonably assured. |
now have the consent and appro-
val Of approximately S35O,OOO Of
the bonds of the railroad com
pany, but a portion Of this CON
sent is conditioned upon our Sc
curing the approval Of Is per cent
Of the total railroad bonds.
This plan also 'contemplates a
reorganization III the manage
ment OF the properties and the
placing of representatives OF the
largest bond interests i'll the vari-
GUS communities upon the direct
managing board of the proper
ties for the future 1t also con-
templates that Mr.. Berryhill and
some of the largest eastern stock
holders will become the direct
managing heads OF the organiza-
ton.
Under this plan the properties
can be made to win and not only
reflect credit to those who par
ticipate, but bring renewed life
and vigor into the community in
which the properties lie, supply
employment and population in the
vicinity, pay off their obligations
and at least make some money
for their stockholders. We sub
NIT that the plans il carried
out presents business features
which make it worth the endorse
ment and cooperation of those
who are interested either directly

WONDER PEOPLE
AFTER Big mine.

Is the second largest mine op-
Grating in Nevada soon to be
opened up and developed at Bell
Mountain, twenty-five miles from
Wonder? It is possible, accord
ing to testimony adduced a few
days ago at the PUBLIC service com
missions nearing on the hear
ing Of the Nevada-California
Power Company's application
for permission to dismantle its
line from Hawthorne to Wonder.
According to the testimony
the workings at Wonder are
about. cleaned up and few weeks
at the outside would see the
cessation .of operations entirely.
Anticipating the shutting down
Of the plant the owners Of the
Nevada Wonder mining company
have had prospecting done at the
various points in the FalrvieW
district? The company has been
able to secure control Of the Bell
Mountain property on which is
exposed forty foot ledge for a
distance of one mile. The ledge
carries values Of $4 per ton at the
surface. Test holes are being
made to ascertain whether or not
increased values may be assured
deeper down. According to Mr..
Carlisle, the company's engineer,
if values as high as eight or nine
dollars per ton at. reasonable
depth can be found the company
will be able to open TIP a mine
that will be larger than any in
the state with the exception of
the Nevada Consolidated in White
Pine county.
1t is figured that two or three
months time will be required to
do the necessary test work before
a decision as to the future course
b be followed may be determined.
The Nevada-California officials
assert, however, that if suffi-
GENTLY high values are fonud at
reasonable depth they will at once
install a mill OF 450 tons capacity
