ockholders are henceforth to be. ex-
cluded from the mines in Storey county.
In the Supreme Court in the case of
Phillip Deidesheimer, who was charged
with illegally refusing to permit A. B.
Thompson, a stakeholder, to visit the
Hale & Norcross mine, Judge Leonard
decided that Deidsheimer committed
no otfense. This annuls the Act of the
Legislature authorizing stockholders to
visit mines on certain days, and the
''insiders" can run the machine as they
please, and report big strikes or no
strikes without fear of contradiction.

Legal Examination.

The examination of the candidates for
admission to the bar OF the Courts of
this State. was continued last night.
One OF the questions asked was.
" What is an inequtable action?" The
answer given was, g An action for the
collection Of taxes and penalties of the
Bonanza firms" The candidates have
evidently been close students of the
Nevada Statute of 1879 in which is
found an act releasing the Bonanzas
from the payment of taxes, the title of
which is, An Act to discontinue lti-
CATION touching inequitable claims
for taxes and penalties.

means to exclude American "foreign devils' from
China If the bill becomes law it will give the
Chinese the lever they have been seeking tor twenty
years. and with splendid arsenals and trained mill

interference. In the meanwhile the United States
