More Water.

The Water Company has just introduced
an additional supply Of water for the fire
tanks. The springs up near the Pinto
summit have been connected by pipe with
the line leading to the tanks from a point
near town. This has been a very consid-
cradle undertaking, involving an outlay Of
many thousands OF dollars. The length
of the new line of pipe is about $1,000
feet. The water was turned through last
Friday night. 1t affords already about
800 gallons per hour, and will do a great
deal better when everything is placed in
proper shape. The company is deserving
OF the highest praise for its enterprise in
this matter. No pains or expense is spared
to serve well the town sad people.

Shields, T. II. Jewell, Ted Clay, A. J..
Case, locators. Those that are located,
especially in the Good Luck and one or
two other claims, are well satisfied. In
the Good Luck a fine body of ore is open

offered $4,000 for an eighth interest, but
would not take it. There have been several
offers made for different locations that
were pretty fair, but were not accepted.
George OBriter left for Battle Mountain
yesterday to buy supplies SO as to be able
to set lei to work on the Onondago.
They will arrive to-day, and things will
move along.
j. B. Stevens left for the East Yesterday.
He will return in a few days and set men
to work in a claim he is in.
Palisade begins to look like a mining
camp. A good many miners are in town
seeking employment. Some of them keep
the saloons busy.
G.. w. Coddington has ordered all trains
to stop to let off and take on passengers at
a point opposite to where the mine are.

EDITOR SENTINEL As our new mining
district is the enter OF considerable inter-

which l think will be Of interest to yosr
readers, as well as to correct some errors
which have been published. The first dis
covery was made by Major Stafford, and
the name given to the district in honor Of
the %discoverer. The mines are situated
about five miles west of Palisade, on the
south side Of the river, and the discovery
claim is about a mile and 8 half from the
railroad. although locations have been
made within half a mile from the railroad.
The district is ten miles square,. taking
Palisade in the district. The first claim
located is called the Onondaga, from which
the following assays have been made at the

From the Good Luck an assay was made
in Eureka of S206 II. The above assays
are for silver and gold. About SIS per
ton is gold. SO far there has been no re-
turns received from the other mines, but
have no doubt that when received will add
to the reputation of the district. There
have been two town sites located. The one
at the mines is named Cayuga the one at
the railroad Mohawk. Those whose knowl-
edge of mineral should entitle their opin-
to consideration say it will be one of
Nevada's big mining camps.

San Antobi, Express,
Messrs. Sid P. Jones, I. d John
son and G. A Hodges have just re-
turned from a trip to Laredo and
short distance along the line Of the
Texas and Mexican railway work from
the Rio Grande into Mexico. Mr..
Hodges says that McGavvack and TAFT
the contractors for grading fifty miles
of the road, now have abnut three
hundred men aud a large number OF
teams on the work. Much of the
dump work is being done with wheel
barrows, Mexican labor being cheaper
than working mules with scrapers
The Mexicans work we'll and the con-
tractors are meeting with no delays on
that score. The chief drawback is
want Of water, which at one OF the
camps is hauled on the tanks as far as
twenty miles. Efforts are being made
to get water by boring, but after sink
ing the augurs as deep as two hundred
feet and finding none, the efforts were
abandoned. The work on the Texas
side from San Diego to Laredo is be-
ing pushed. Grading forces are now
WITHIN three miles Of Laredo, and
trains are running to within twenty
miles Of the town. 1t is exnected ,
Mr.. Hodges says, to run into Laredo
within thirty DAYS. McGavVack and
TAFT expect to build the entire line
through to the City Of Mexico. Mr..
Hodges says he made inquiries Ofpar-
ties connected with the Texas and
Mexican in regard to the construction
of the road from this city to the coast,
and was told that it would certainly
be hult. The International now has
grading forces within fifteen miles Of
Laredo. The new station Of Pearsall,
in Frio county, about fifty-iye miles
distant, now has trains running to it.
The stages were drawn off of the line.
yesterday, this side of Pearsall and
now take passengers from the train at
Pearsall, for Laredo. Mr.. Hodges

CHANCELLOR mGRR1rr's DECISION.

OhhhGELLOh MEhhllI'S DEClblUNs
Chancellor Merritt, in a very
lengthy opinion delivered yesterday,
dissolved the injunction granted by
Judge Williams, to restrain the
Funding Board from issuing bonds
under the 1908 act. He recites the
main features of the act, and of the
bill of compliments, and says
tits insisted that TIE complain
ants, as citizens and taxpayers of the
State of Tennessee, cannot maintain
the bill. for the reason that they have
no particular interest in opposing the
execution of the bill, that the inter
est they have is an interest common to
all other citizens of the State. | am
of the opinion that this position is
supported by the cases reported and
referred to in ! Wood, Is N. Y, and
other cases.
On the other hand, | am satisfied
that the cases cited in 30 Penn, 60
N. c., Baxter, 2 Hum, and other
cases In the Reports Of the State of
Tennessee are authorities in favor of
the right Of these compliments to
maintain this bill.
The cases cite for 30 Penn, and
63 n. Ca, are directto the point that
taxpayer ola State may maintain a
bill to enjOin the issuance of State
obligations that would necessarily i'm
pose upon the taxpayer Of its State an
illegal tax.
again he says;
Our own Supreme Court have de-
cided that tax payer of court or a
municipal corporation may file a bill
and enjoin illegal acts on the part oil
the courts in corporation, that would
necessarily result in an illegal tax, and
| am of the opinion that the same
principle will apply to tax payer O.
the State and enable him to maintain
bill to enjoin the issuance Of bond
under void act, the result of the is
suahce being to impose an illegal tar
In the event the act should be carries
into effect At least, | am not pre-
pared to hold that the law is clear be
yond a reasonable doubt that thei
compliments have not its right, and
will therefore for this motion decid
that it can maintain the suit. 1t
also insisted that this is a suit agains
the defendants in their official char
acters, and that by virtue of the az
of 1873 the suit cannot be maintaine
against them. 1t is also insisted tina
it is a suit against the State. l al
satisfied that it is not a suit againl
the state, and that a suit can |
maintained against an officer or
Board composed of several officers
prevent the officers from doing an i
legal act.
He then proceeds to discuss Il
question whether the court can d
clare an act unconstitutional on Il
ground that its passage had been pr
cured by fraud. Judge Williams,
will be remembered, virtually decit
ed that the courts could not go baC
of the act, and Judge Merritt takes SUI
stantially the same position. He say

Gu,teau's Punluhment.

Special 10 Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, July l1.-There is
good reason to believe that should the
President recover, as seems probable,
the government will choose to cen
slider Guiteau insane, and will procure
his incarceration in the Government
Hospital for the Insane, just outside
of Washington, for life. Senator
Conkling in his letter TO the Attorney
General suggests to him an inquiry
into the existing law, with a view to
ascertain whether the crime oil which
Guiteau is aVOWedly guilty cannot be
more severely punished than if his as
sault, with intent to kill, had been
made upon a private individual. He
is also understood to suggest the pro-
priety of a recommendation by the
Attorney General to Congress Of the
enactment of a law rendering an as
sault with intent TO kill the President
Of the United States, punishable with
death. The Attorney General will
probably make the inquiry suggested.
II is believed that it will result in
nothing. Eight years imprisonment
is considered TO be the utmost limit
under the existing Law. District At
tOrney Corkhill hopes to convict the
prisoner on two indictments, counting
each shot as a separate effense. He
relies upon anumber of historical pre-
cedents, including the TichbOrne case.
wherein for the offense Of perjury two
convictions were secured and two SEN
fences inflicted. His position in the
matter is disputed by able lawyers.
Even if he should prove to be correct,
but eighteen years imprisonment
could be awarded the assassin. This
is deemed by all the Cabinet made
