Pecnliar Methods of Milling Brought Out on the Witness Stand. THE BROKERS' BUSINESS KNOCKED OUT rerECIAI. TET.EGPAM TO THE DITATCTM Sax Feaxcisco, Dec. a The Comstock mininjr ctock gamblers are nearinjj their last ditch, if one may jndpe from the San Francisco market and the revelations ninde in the Hale & Xorcross suit here and in the mines at Virginia City in the suit brought by jr. AV. Fox against the officers ot the Hale &:Korcross mine for S2.000.000, which he claims has been stolen from the stock holders. He has actually proved from the mines and mill records that in the three years which his suit covers ore that assayed ot 53,500,000 was shipped to the Xevad.i mill, while only 51,800,000 in silver bul lion was returned. It was proved that the mill company worked for its own benefit what were called 'failings," bnt these included rich con centrates, fraudulently allowed to run into the milL It was also proved that Presi dent Levy, of the Hale & Korcross, was paid a regular bonns by President Hobart, of the mill company, for which no one could explain the purpose, but the assump tion is that it was a sop to prevent him from exposing the fraud on the stockholders he is paid to protect. How Two Papers Are Blnxzled. These admissions were all wrung from Superintendent Evan "William;, of the Uevada mill, as both President Levy and Superintendent Keating, of the Hale & 27 orcross Company, skipped to Nevada and evaded subpoenas. During these last three years, when the books of the mine slion-tfiat sufficient good ore was extracted to pay the quarterly dividends, assessments were regularly levied on the Hale & Jfor cross, and the stock was kept down to a low figure. Levy & Keating are now on Comstock.and they h'ave exercised power there to bull doze two daily newspapers of Virginia City and prevent them from publishing re ports of the Hale & Norcross suit, under threat of withdrawing the advertising patronage of all the mines. Of course, it is upon this advertising that the papers live, so not one"line of the damaging revelations made for over a week in this San Francisco Miit has been printed in Virginia a censor ship of the press which would receive the commendation of the Czar. The Janin brothers, who went to Virginia City to try a new process ot reducing Com Ftock ore, which, it was claimed would save a much larger percentage of the assay values thai: the process now in operation iu the Carson Biver Mills, report that the test was a failure. It is now stated the Janins were sent to Virginia City by the Hale & Xorcnss management, with the understand ing that they should report the present pro cess of reducing ore in operation at the Car son Hirer Mills the best that canbeadopted, and they will be called on to testify to that effect in a suit against Hale & Xorcross. The Kent Vroce-s Xot "Wanted. It is well known among quartz mill em ployes that the mill owners mostly com posed of the Comstock Mining Company directors do not desire to save a large per centage of the asay valtfe of ore.' If they did it would materially decrease the value of tailings, which form the principal source of the mill owners' revenue. Hence no process whereby a greater percentage of the ot say value of the ore is saved than by the present method will be adopted. AH thete revelations of fraud have crip pled the mining stock market here. There is not a stock on the list which sells for 55 a share, and the commissions on all the daily transactions in both boards won't pay the rent of a single broker's office. Business is practically drad, as no outsiders can be in duced to put mouey into mining stocks John "W.Muckay was on the witness stand this afternoon. His testimony clinched several points made by the plaintiff, and corroborated the theory of fraud in milling ores. Mackay is acknowledged by all to be without a superior in the practical knowl edge of working ores. He declared that there shouldn't be a difference of more than 10 per cent between the assays at mine and at the milL Fox has shown that the differ ence at the Hale & Norcross was 35 per cent. Mackay also testified that there was good profit in milling 515 ore, whereas no Hale & Sorcross ore under 540 paid the expenses of milling. Natural Gas Cat Glass.
