ALTA-QUINCY MINX. Alex Colba,th, superintendent of the Alta-Quincy, loft Friday morning for the mine for the purpose of closing that property down for the winter, - The Alta-Quincy has made a most enviable record durina the past year. The tunnel which was run In to develop the property encountered at least three known- Assures in Alta-Quincy ground, which is very extensive, and found ore Jn every one of them. Some of the ore found was rich enough to require sacking sack-ing and this is still on the dump, not . - h;:ving been put on the market by the management. The cn.us of closing down the property proper-ty is the difficulty in .ecuring supplies at the mine during the winter weather end the delay to operations on account of the snow and snowsiides. There are few companies' which are so lucky as the Alta-Quincy in securing secur-ing expsrt talent to direct their affairs. John A. Kirby, consulting engineer of llie Daly West, and George (Sunn of the American Smelting and Refining '"" -company are constituted an advisory board, and they, in connection with the superintendent, determine the policy and development of the mine. Mr. Colbath leaves immediately after Christmas for Goldfield. where he Is Interested In-terested in a large prospecting company. com-pany. He will remain there all wtn-f ter. but will return to the Alta-Quincy' In the spring. SHAREHOLDERS SHY. Although the directors of the company com-pany cannot be made, to speak definitely definite-ly on the subject, it Is understood that the shareholders of the Star Consoll- dated did not show any too great eagerness eag-erness to purchase the 100,000 shares of stock purchased from Milan Packard, and which were to be released to the shareholders of the company on a pro rata basis at 1C cents a share. This Is not to be wondered at, as the price of the stock on the. open market' since the announcement made by the directors has been less than 16 cents. The directors are by no means worried over t'r failure of the shareholders to come I J with the money for the extra stock, js they have no doubt that they will be 'able to dispose of the remainder of the 100.000 shares to good advantage to outsiders. The directors meet Saturday afternoon after-noon to decide Just what they had best do In the matter and what plan they will follow with regard to this extra stock. The mine continues to look splendidly and the most Intelligent kind of development work Is being done, all of which is paid for by the shipments of low grade ore under a most advantageous advan-tageous contract with one of the valley val-ley smelters. EXPERTS WILL TRY TO SOLVE SMOKE PROBLEM. The American Smelting and Refining company has engaged the services of Dr. Franx Mayer of Germany, the well-known well-known gas and smoke expert, to act In conjunction with Prof. Stewart Croasdale of Colorado in designing a plan to obviate the smelter smoke nuisance nui-sance In this valley. These two gentlemen gen-tlemen have been paid a retaining fee of $10,000. Prof. Croasdale Is noted all over the country for his success In this line with the Washoe smelter in Anaconda, Mont. Dr. Meyer Is known as an authority on the smoke question all over Europe and the United States and between the two they should surely find a way of abolishing abol-ishing the nuisance. The American Smelting and Refining company has already spent thousands of dollars striving to solve this question and will have the two experts start their experiments at once. ANNIE LAURIE MILL IS WORKING SMOOTHLY. v A. E. Hyde, Jr.; manager of the Annie An-nie Laurie of Gold mountain, came up from camp Friday morning and reports that the bonanza under his care is moving mov-ing with the utmost smoothness. Not a particle of trouble was had with the additional machinery which was installed in-stalled in the mill and the plant is running run-ning through the regulation 300 tons a day with ease and precision. The lower tunnel still continues to show up exceptional values, with no diminution in the size of the ledge, and it is entirely likely, although Mr. Hyde did not say so, that the dividend on the property will be Increased shortly. The Sevier Consolidated of Gold mountain has Just started up its mill in earnest and within a short time It also will without doubt be paying a nice amount Into the pockets of the shareholders. Capt. Lawrence, manager man-ager of the Sevier . Consolidated, left Friday for a visit of Inspection to the property. ADVANCE IN WABASH EXCITES INTEREST. The decided advance In the price of Wabash of Park City has excited much comment among mining men, and a, number of rumors have been circulated about the property. One of these is that the Wabash people In their development work had encountered ore In a property outside their own lines, and that the Wabash company had gained control of this adjoining ground. This is emphatically denied by the Wabarii management, who say definitely definite-ly that the Wabash has never and is not now mining outside Its own ground. It ls also rumored that there are a number of shorts being squeezed, but earnest inquiry has failed to reveal their . identity. Another rumor is that the numerous assessments have placed a large amount of stock in the treasury, and the stock is being shoved up in order that this stock might be unloaded. Col. Treweek denies this rumor also, and says that there is no treasury stock on the market. mar-ket. Col. Treweek also states that there is no new strike to report. There have been curb sales of some of the stock at much higher figures than have been recorded on the exchange. ex-change. TODAY'S TONOPAH AND GOLDFIELD STOCKS. Furnished by Child.
