THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, -FKTOAT, DECEMBER 4, 1891
5
1 AT THE LAST DITCH.
Comstock Mining Stock Gamblers
Near the End of Their String.
A SUIT THAT SETTLES THE CASE.
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.
