The face of the raise is now up approximately sixty 'feet. Work in the new raise was started three weeks ago by Eugene Grutt, who at that time took over the mine management. About ten feet above the floor of the drift the raise encountered ore cn the two feet of quartzite and overlying limestone contact. The formation was lyin at 30 to 35 degrees. The raise followed the ore on this incline for nearly 50 feet with an average of two feet of ore in the face of the raise all the way up. Monday afternoon it appeared that the hanging wall, which had been blocky and broken throughout the raise, was getting more solid and for the firat itme there was a strong, narrow fissure through the face. Indications at that time were that the forma- sue in lead-silve- lead-silv- tion was er starting to flatten out.

A dispatch sent by George Graham Rice, who is financing the Bingham Galena property, to State Corporation Commissioner E. C. Bellows of California, early in the week, challenging the commissioner to a show down and which up to the time of going to press had ' not been answered, and which is published in full below, reveals the inside of the conspiracy in high quarters. Certain Salt Lake newspapers were permitted to revel for several days in a saturnalia of buncome about George Graham Rice being wanted in Oakland, California, for a felonious violation of the California blue law. Warrant Out for Rice! Rice Will Be Extradited! District Attorney of Oakland Will Proceed Against Rice! Attorney General of California in with Deputy Corporation Commissioner Easton to Get Rice! were some of the flaring head lines. Both the district attorney of Oakland and Attorney General Webb of California, when interviewed, made flat denials. They were not even consulted, they the use of their names alleged,-an- d Con-feren- ce was without authority. Here is a copy of Rices clear and BUY l Bmihamm Galena i We believe this stock will see a further handsome advance at once. For information and purchase, see v1 i. I y. t! f fc 16 Wasatch West Second South Street gau 3330 members of the Salt Lake Stock Exchange, from the city of Salt Lake, in Oakland, saying that I recommended the purchase of Bingham Galena stock on the Salt Lake stock exchange. You know as California corpor ition commissioner that when Easton cajoled and- influenced Harrison into swearing to the warrant, Easton was guilty of malicious use of process and that if he was acting with your knowledge you as well as he were and ure guilty of the malicious use of process. You and your deputy Easton are conclusively presumed to knowr that the Blue Sky law of California or of any state has never been and will not be - permitted to interfere with the transaction of interstate business. I challenge you to swear out a warrant for my arrest on the same charge and on the same grounds as used in the Oakland warrant, and I promise you if you do that I will give the U. S. courts an opportunity to act and will also proceed against you for commensurate damages, such as I might not now be able to collect because your department cravenly used a catspaw instead of swearing to the Oakland warrant yourselves. If you accept my challenge and swear out the warrant you surely will not be permitted to plead ignorance of the law You surely will be adjudged to be resorting to criminal process, knowing it to be ineffectual in itself with the object of illegally interfering with my interstate transactions and with the ulterior motive of working out your personal animosity and venom against me or that of whoever, has been wickedly directing your course of conduct, and I have some very positive evidence indicating that your course of conduct is and has been dictated by interests other than those covered by your oath of office, You and your deputy have been using the fact of the issuance of the admittedly illegally inspired and ineffectual Oakland process as a means of access to the newspapers to ruin my enterprises. I believe the federal courts have jurisdiction over you and I challenge you to resort to the illegal process yourself instead of using a dummy so that I may have proper recourse. Today a Salt Lake newspaper printed a copy of the Oakland affidavit. Besides perjuriously stating that I was in the city of Oakland on the date of June twenty-seconand perjuriously I stating that committed a felo.iy in selling stock in Oakland on that day without a license, the complaint sets forth no less than three times that my name is Jacob Simon Herzig alias George Graham Rice.' You and your deputy know that whereas I was born Jacob Simon Herzig I have continually and unintermit-tantl- y for the past twenty-on- e years used the name of George Graham Rice, and instead of the name of George Graham Rice being an alias that I won the name honorably as a magazine and newspaper writer and writer of books and that George Graham Rice is my pen name, later adopted as a business name, and is not an alias. 'The use of the word alias in the Oakland wrarrant was propaganda for the sole purpose of prepossessing and prejudicing the public mind against me through publication in the newspapers, and you and your man Easton know it. The only company I promoted in California was the Broken Hills Silver corporation. I put one hundred and sixty-twthousand dollars into the treasury of this corporation in a few months. The president of the company is Ed Malley, state treasurer of Nevada, the vice president is Gilbert Ross, state bank examiner of Nevada. Governor Emmett D. Boyle of Nevada and Arthur Perry Thompson, the noted geologist, reported favorably on the property before I advised anybody to buy a share of it.
