Ags it LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP ~ AROUND STATE CAPITOL By BERT CASSIDY A matter of feal controversey came up Monday morning, as a special order set for 11:30, when Senate Bill 675 was considered before the above Washington on . Yuba River, has passed to the con— The Eagle Bird mine, seven. miles: . the South trol of the Arizona Copper Mining: . senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Breed, and has as its purpose: the bonding of oil companies to assure “the State of California the collection of gas taxes which the people have already paid when. they purchase gases. 5 the when or wherefore of it, but it has seemingly left its mark in, the shape of an inborn hatred on the part of that paper for all things privately operated. ‘ State and municipal control of ‘about everything under the-sun is, and has been for many years, a fetish of this daily and, next to the prohibition question, it occupies the front trenches of the Bee editors thinking apparatus in utter disregard to the average persons knowledge to the contrary. According to the Bee the joy of living will come to us only when the politicians control all that. we consume and all that we produce. It preaches the doctrine that the larger corporations and public utilities would be better administered under four-year political patronage than they would be under those who is, practically all mail is moved by Private carrier under contract, including the air mail; and this is the most important function of the business. There are a few exceptions wherein.a community is benefitted by municipally controlled utilities. These instances, however, are most always in small communities whose affairs are directed by a board of aldermen, or trustees; generally businessmen serving without salary, who have the best interests of the community at heart, the preferred stock of the company would be retired ‘during the present year from operative profits. The preferred stock outstanding amounts to 221,454 Shares, it was stated by MacBoyle. With the calling of the preferred thecompany’s capitalization would efonsist only of 1,701,932 shares of common stock. he Further data upon the financial setup of the company and the productive condition of the mine, included:: : During 1930 the company cleaned up a $241,0000 obligation owed the Harry Payne Whitney estate. As a consequence of this move notes, bonds, etc., of operating subSidiaries are now. entirely owned by the holding corporation. Idaho-Maryland Consolidated Mines owns the senior obligations together with 72 per cent of the Stock of the Idaho Maryland Mines company; 99 per cent of the Brunswick Consolidated Mining Company and 100 per cet of the Morehouse mine. Outside of the expenditure of $20,000 for rehabilitation of the Brunswick mill, now leased to the Idaho Maryland Mines, work was concentrated on the development of the new "1900" ore body in the Idaho Maryland mine, From the ore taken out in doing development work on this vein, it is estimated that this block of ore, containing over 200,000 tons, wil] run from $12.50 to $15 per ton. This Company, who have large holdings; — near Bagdad, Arizona. 3 The Eagle Bird is one of those 4 few properties which has literally . paid from: the grass roots.

At this time Huntington, the inleis of the ball mill bearing his name, shipped in one of his mills without cost to Shattuck for demonstration. purposes and Although the ;ore proved to be too hard to be j Worked successfully in a mill of j this character, Shattuck nevertheless i took out sufficient money to build a ,; Stamp mill and to purehase the pro'perty. After the shoot above the ‘drain tunnel was exhausted Shattuck ‘started the shaft. At this time alsa contract between them and C.F, Humphreys wherein the company asks the court to construe a mortfage clause held by Humphreys Stipulating that the operating combany pay ten per cent of the gross broceeds from mining operations -to the defendant on account. of said mortgage idebtedness. ‘The Plaintiff company is also said to be operating the property known as the Texas property by and through the workings of the Murchie Aand keeps a separate account of the ore extracted in this. manner, according to the complaint on file but is said! ‘to have refused to pay any per cent of the ores mined from the Texas ground. The defendant hag demanded the ten per cent from all ores extracted regardless where it comes from.
