As told Sunday morning TRICT. the Salt the com- pany's committee had raised considerably more than 80,000 Saturday and a number of the heavier interests had yet to be heard from. C. P.' Mason, one of the petitioners In the pending bankruptcy proceedings stated during the afternoon that he the company would felt confident manage to avert further proceedings in the matter. The case Is scheduled to come up again tomorrow and by that time he expects to hear that the money necessary to relieve the company's distress has been raised. After quoting Colonel Henry Altman on conditions as he found them out here, the New Tork Commercial of Friday last, has the following to say: The plana now under foot. It Is believed, call for the organisation of a new company In which the capital stock will be reduced from 8,000,000 to a smaller figure. This, It la hoped, will permit of the adoption of a plan by which a balance of the stock may be left In the treasury.' While no official announcement has been made regarding the developments of the Monarch Mines A Smelter corporation, which company It was reported at one time was to include the Majestic properties, there Is reason to believe that the deal so far as It affects the Majestic Is dead. It is said that the Monarch deal will go through except as to the Comet and Majestic properties. Quincy Ward Boese, who has thus far represented several of the prominent interests connected with the Monarch deal, could not be seen yesterday to throw further light upon the question. A report Is also current that the which has voting trust committee, had nominal charge of the affairs of the Majestic company for the past nine months, has been rent with Internal dissensions for a month. It Is said that at least three of the western members of that body favor the dissolution of the voting trust, but no verification of that story could be secured. Charles F. Street, one of the New Tork members of the voting trust. Is In the west. There Is reason to believe that the stockholders have decided to take the question of (governing the Majestic company Into their own hands. To secure that power It will be necessary to raise additional funds, and that part of the program Is now being developed. The meeting the latter part of this week In Hertford, Conn., should disclose the attitude of the stockholders toward the new plans .

K. Richards, of Iron county, drove four feet and then opened up over thirty feet of ore. Such Gloves, dis- trict is quite likely to rival Tonopuh and Goldfield as a mineral zone of great richness. A representative of the Tonopah Sun again visited the Mounproperty of the Tonopah-Gol- d tain Mining company, In company with an expert, for the purpose of obtaining some thoroughly reliable v Judgment regarding the district. According to the mining man who was with the reporter there Is every Indication of depth and permanency in the great vein that outcrops throughout the Tonopah-Gol- d Mountain. This Is the latest ledge which waa discovered by Boy Ridge and mentioned In last week's Issue. Thla newly located veil outcrops about 00 feet up the west aide of the mountain more plainly than elsewhere. As stated. It can be traced for fully 100 feet up the mountain side, after which it passes under the capping. The expert states, however, that by means of the rich float scattered along the ground, this vein Is plainly discernible for at least a mile. Pieces of this float, as well as of the main ledge, were broken and free gold could easily be seen with the naked eye. MounThe ore of the Tonopah-Gol- d tain la distinctly a milling proposition In that the values are almost entirely In gold. On the east side of the mountain a few specimens of porphyry were discovered In which the rich native silver entirely covers the outside of the rock. The sliver, however, is In such a small quantity as compared with the gold as to render milling the only practicable treatment for the ore. It Is stated that the present manageMountain ment of the Tonopah-Gol- d la very mill a that companys property Is a salt be There erected. to shortly marsh about' one mile west of the property and from this the necessary water, it Is believed, can be obtained. The mill site selected Is on the mountain side below the last strike, thereby allowing the ores to pass Into the mill through a chute and making their treatment economical. The Gold Mountain, like other mines, Is dependent for its ultimate success upon milling facilities, and the fact that these are to be shortly provided enwill doubtless be exceedingly stockholders to the small couraging who assisted in Its development.

It will be seen, therefore, thult there are some legal questions which will until settled have a tendency to disturb the certainty of titles in the FHllon oil fields. It would be beneficial if the people there who have conlcting Interests could get together and arrive at some amicable understanding before the whole subject gets into a legal tangle.

It Is also de- every foot of the e slrable to have as few men below in the mine ringing the signals as possible. The engineer lieromes accustomed to the manner of ringing of one or two men, and their signals are more Intelligible to him. No two men ring bells exnctly alike, either as to spacing time between strokes or in the force of a stroke, says the Mining and Scientific Press. Aside from a knowledge of his the most necessary qualification bt a hoisting engineer Is that of presence of mind and courage to act promptly in the event of anything going wrong. This was exemplified in a striking manner a short time since at the Llghtner mine at Angels, Cal., where when something went wrong, and the man at the hoist lost control of the engine, In belief that lives of men were In great danger, he promptly seised a large wrench lying near at hand and Jammed It Into the gearing of the hoist He wrecked one side of the machine, destroying the gearing, but he brought the skip to a standstill. Subsequently It was learned that men who had been at work In the shaft had gone up to a level above, but he acted promptly on Impulse, situation demanded the believing strenuous measures and applied them accordingly. A man like this certainly deserves credit, and his example might be followed by others who may be placed in a similarly unfortunate position.

Another point that will enter into Discovery of oil at Fallon, Nev. has opened a question of title to the oil deposits which will doubtless result In almost endless litigation, should the field prove to be one of Importance, the question being as to the ownership of the oil, as between the locators under the mining laws and those who hold the land under state patent It appears that the townsite of Fallon is held under a state patent; that lots have been sold, and It is upon one of these lots that the discovery was made. Moreover, that the discoverer at once posted a notice of placer location, claiming twenty acres, according to the legal subdivisions, and which location naturally covers the ground owned by others under state patent Now the state patent which the latter holds expressly reserves the minerals, Including, of course, petroleum that may be In the ground under the surface. The query therefore arises, will the mineral location placed upon the oil well at the point of discovery hold the ownership of the oil within the location boundaries, or can the owner of a lot within these boundaries sink an oil well on his premises and commence selling oil? Precisely the same legal point was Involved In the famous suit.

Jackson hired Richards and one or two others to go to work on It and they had not gone more than four feet further In the tunnel that Richards and his partner had been running when they struck a fine ledge of ore eleven feet wide, which a little exploration showed was separated by only four feet of rock from another ledge of good ore twice as wide.
