Rights Of co-owners In Mining
Claims.

During the trial Of the Paul rsgnaze
case, a number of very interesting
points in mining Law we're brought out
In the arguments OF the attorneys and
the rulings of the Court, bearing espec
ially upon the rights OF co-owners in
mining claims. Boiled down they MAY
be stated as follows:
II two or more parties own . mining
claim in common. each co owner. how
ever great or small his share may De,
has 9 right to go to work anywhere on
the claim that he wishes to. so long as
he does not interfere with any of his CO.
owners who may have gone to work be-
fore him. No agreement or under
standing with his co-owners is neces-
sary.
III one Tor morel OF the co-owners in a
claim commences operations on the
siain, without any agreement with the
other co-owners. he can take out ore
and market 1t and cannot be prevented
except by process of law. II the pro-
leeds OF the orc exceed all OF his ex-
peases OF mining and marketing il, he
must divide the net profits with his CO.
owners, pro rata TO their respective in
terests In the claims. II, on the other
hand, he fails to realize enough to pay
expenses, he cannot hold his co-owners
for any part of the loss. In case he re-
fuses to give an ccoun of his opera
lions TO his co-owners. they can sue for
an accounting and, If they so desire,
car couple with the suit an action for
the ejectment of the who is
working the. mine. and petition for a
receiver.
We will not ~ouch for the absolut.
~infallibility ofthe above. but believe ii
to ie substantially correct. Partie.
who have interests in mining claims
which they desire to work, often
ag linst the will OF their co-owners, will
at least get a general idea OF their re-
speetiye rights.

OScEOLA NUGGETS.

A fine body OF ore has been opened up
in the Union Jack by the B~utterfeld
Mining Co. The vein is tapped at a con-
siderable depth by a 300-foot tunnel.
he crosscuts on tho vein show its width
to be fully 20 feet, carrying values in
free gold the entire width. II IL like
nearly all large bodies of ore, not fabu-
lously rich, although free gold 10 often

specimens obtained. This opening L.

THE WHITE PINE NEWS.


W. J. Dooley, Assembly man.elect
from Lincoln county, has requested the
voters of his county to ballot for U. 5.
Senator and agrees to be guided by the
result, Already about 100 ballots have
been cast, says the Messenger, showing
Cleveland. Leete and Stewart TO be the
leading candidates. The Reno Gazette
has also started a similar contest, which
Is meeting with very little success, only
Al votes having been cast during the
first week, as follows: Stewart Il, New
lands 10, Cleveland 9. a Republican q,
Leste l, Mcmillan 1.
Down in Lincoln county the people
are apparently somewhat interested
and we believe that Mr.. Dooley is per-
fectly honest in promising TO be guided
BY their wishes. But the feeling of in
difference that certainly exists through
out the State on the Senatorial question
among the voters, is better evidenced
by the result at Reno. Nine out Of ten
men In this part Of the country, II asked
who will be the next Senator from New
ada, viii tell you, 1.-THE man with the
biggest sack" This IL not at all dat
tering to the men who have been elect
ed to the Legislature, nor does 1t show
much confidence in the integrity of the
candidates for Senatorial honors, but
such sentiments must be justified by
past history or they would not exist.
After all, IL this condition of affairs Is
anilyzed to the bottom, the fault lies
with the voters, and they are merely
condemning themselves. They are the
ones to blame IT. bribe-takers have been
elected to the Legislature; they are the
ones to blame, If they chose men who
would not commit themselves on the
Senatorial question, and the people
know that this post mortemn effort
to get an expression of public sentimen,
to guide the Legislature is as futile as
TO set a niger to guard a watermelon
patch. At the polls is the place for the
people 70 express their opinions and
that they did so on the Senatorial ques.
tion In this election seems to us perfect
ly apparent.
Newlands says that Stewart vas de-
fsated at the polls, and so we believe he
was. But who did it? Surely Mr.. New
lands can't take any OF the credit, or II
he does, he simply ~convicts himself of
the blacklist kind of t~eachery, and
Newlands, by the way, is one of those
men whose sack is being estimated.
The mar who defeated Stewart, the
n a who received the endorsement OF
The people IS Hon. A. c. Cleveland.
He is the only nan OF any prominence
who openly opposed Stewart as a rival
candidate, he stvmped the State and
was everywhere enthu isstically vel
comei, he has no sack. about his citi-
zenship there is not the slightest ques-
tion. The Legislature will lay itself La
bls 10 the gravest suspicion if il revers-
es the viii Of the people and turns down
such a mar for . political eontortiouist
from California. whose conduct IN this
campaign has beel, I o say the least, de-
cidedly shady.

Cannon Property In Cherry Creek

Cannon Property In Cherry Creek
Henry Rives has returned from Ne
vada and is again giving his attention
to professional duties. While absent
he learned that in the property of the
Cannon company, consisting OF the Tel
Cup group in Cherry Creek, a body of
o 20 had been exposed in cleaning out a
shaft that had beer abandoned for Is
years, and that It would begin the pro.
ducsion OF ore in . short time. The
shaft had attained . depth Of 400 feet
during the early days. and while orcs
we're uncovered, the grade was not suf-
icient to justify the in under
taking the long haul and the high
treatment charges. Conditions have
changed since, however, and Pete Can
non, who is In charge of the work, ex-
poets to be in the market in a short
time with a lot. The Tea Cup is an ex-
tension of the Star & Gray Eagle, owned
by the Glasgow and Western company.
