aore and freight from Sodaville to Tono-
spah $40 animals.
Main street daily presents a lively
appearance. From four to five large
Sfreight teams can be seen unloading
each day.
The Tonopah mines are to be listed
|on the Salt Lake Stock Exchange.
This stock is a good buy. Over So
200 shares were purchased by people
Iof this camp, the purchase price being
81 per share.
Tuesdays mail brought returns from
iSelby to the aggregate amount of $34.-
,4l6.77. This amount is net after de-
.duction Of railroad freight and treat
;ment charges.
The highest return in this lot was on
-four tons Of selected ore shipped by the
company which yielded US ozs in sill
Yer and IL ozs in gold or a total value
of SOS per ton. This shipment OIL
four tons yielded a net return Of ST.
|94l.52.
Other high returns are as follows
From Lease No. 6 a lot of five tons
lgave a return of 462 ounces in silver
and $50 ozs in gold per ton. Another
shipment Of four tons from the same
lease gave a return of 1913 ozs in silver
and AIS ozs per ton.
A shipment of two tons from lease
81 gave a return of 100 ozs in
silver and 24.7o ozs in gold per ton.
This ore was from what is known as
the "gold streak"
The foregoing are, Of course, ex-
ceptional returns from small shipments
The average value per ton on all re-
received is about $196 per ton.
The lowest return was one which gave
100 ozs in silver and LILO ozs in gold
or a total value Of about $50 per ton.
Wednesday was a record breaker in
the amount Of ore shipped from the
camp in one day. On that day SO
tons left the camp for Sodaville by
wagons. The value Of this 50
at a moderate estimate is SlO.-
900, not a bad days work, and a
strong index Of the future.

unique one. 1t would seem that the
man and woman mutually agreed in 1865
to become man and wife. but the mar
riage was not celebrated until 1879. Thus
the question Is squarely presented,
whether such a contract, If proved be-
tween a man and woman, without cele-
bration or license. would constitute such
a marriage as would entitle the woman
to dover inchoate from the time 1t was
entered into.
The widow lost her suit in the Circuit
Court of Greene. General John e. Rol-
Ter. of Harrisonburg, is her counsel. In
his brief for the appellant he says:
'tBut three considerations are advanced
in the argument for the appellee against
their validity.
Il. That the parties might cover guilt
under the pretext OF secret marriage.
''o. That it would give the unscrupuious
man, the net whereby he might erlsnare,
the confiding and innocent woman
"s That man might appear to De IN
married, obtain credit on the faith OF his
property. and then acknowledge prior
marriage, and thus defraud his creditors.
These considerations are more than met
by the considerations.
