POKER PLAYERS
TAKE NOTICE

Uncle Sam wants to know how
much you won at poker last year.
None of his business" you say
There's where you're mistaken.
Taxable income for the year 1915
includes amounts gained in gambling
Profits made in violation of laws and
regulations are none the less taxable
SO its UP to you "penny-ante" boys
whose poker accounts are on the RICH,
side of the ledger to come across.
What about the losers?' Well
that's different. Illegal losses are
not deductible.

The Luning Mines

Approximately 30 aiming
claims, comprising 600 acres at
Luning including the properties
of the Luning Gold Mines Co..
and the r. B. Todd Mining Co..
will form group to be operated
as the Luning Consolidated Sill
yer Mines company of Nevada
control of which has been acquir-
ed by l.. A. Browne, of San Fran
cisco and New York associates.
This announcement was made up
on his return from San Francisco
yesterday by X. B. Todd who
formerly owned controlling inter
est, both in the R. B. Todd Co.,
and the Luning Gold Mines Co.
The other claims involved in the
deal are owned personally by Mr..
Todd, who will retain substan-
tial interest in the new company
but whose personal efforts will be
directed now to the development
of other properties.
According to Mr.. Todd, devel-
opment of the group on large
scale will begn without delay and
a crew of so men will be at work
as soon as housing accommoda-
tons can be arranged at the scene
of activities, with shipping of high
grade ore to begin at once and to
continue until an adequate re-
duction plant is constructed in
the spring.
Producing for Years
These properties have already
produced large amount of COM
mercial ore, shipments having
been made from time to time
during the past 80 years, about
$4,000 worth of ore having been
shipped under his management
G me. More than $4,000 worth
Of ore now is blocked out, and, &C
according to Mr.. Todd, it can be
worked very profitably at the
present price of silver. The COM
pany has been thoroughly fl
nanced and its stock will soon be
placed on New York and San
Francisco exchanges.
The property will be worked
under the supervision of A. f.
Lowe, well known operator of
Tonopah, who will arrive today
for a conference with Mr.. Todd
on his way to Luning. Operations
at the property will be increased
as market conditions justify.
Develop Other Properties
Mr.. Todd henceforth will give
his personal attention to the Lun-
ing-1daho Copper mine at Luning
and the Star of the West Gold
company mine near Austin, in
which Eugene Davis, of the Eu-
reka Croesus, recently has taken
a substantial interest.
The new consolidated properties
at Luning have grown from a
holding of two claims, purchased
by Mr.. Todd IS years ago. He
continued development in the face
of adverse market conditions and
operations were almost constantly
in progress even during the war.
