TONOPAH CLAIMS
YIELD FORTUNES
Carson Jeweler Cleans
Up $4,000 From
Leased Land.

No estimate can be made Of the amount
of wealth that is hidden in the Tonopah
mining district, according to E. B. Yer
ington of Carson City, who is spending
a few days in this city.
Yerington says that the town Of Tono-
pah, Nye County, New, has now popu-
Iation of 15Oo people A number of those
year have been most successful. Frank
Golden. a jeweler Of Carson City, will
clean UP about $4,000 on his leased claim
and Henry Cutting will make nearly as
much
The Tonopah mining district was first
discovered by James Butler. an old min
ing prospector, who was passing through
the district with his wife. Finding rich
he returned to Carson City to file on the
land. He had no money and was loaned
a small sum to pay for the recording of
the deed and for the assaying. The fame
of his valuable claims spread far and
wide and he had no difficulty in leasing
ground to others.
Philadelphia syndicate bought But
ler's entire interests last July for $3.50, ,0OO
1t will take possession of the property on
the first of next month. In the meantime
those who leased the claims of Butler are
working them night and day. Under the
law they will be entitled TO all ore on the
dumps at the time the Philadelphia syn
dfcate takes possession.
Mr.. Yerington says that there can be
no estimate of the value of the mines, as
none of the shafts have been sunk lower
than 200 feet. Tonopah is fifty-six miles
from Candelaria and all supplies have 70
be hauled by teams. The water in the
town is very bad; in fact. 1t is not fit for
drinking purposes Tonopah is lively

find that it has struck a rich mining
property a branch railroad will be extend

IMPORTANT DECISION is RENDERED
IN FAVOR OF TELEPHONE COMPANY
Ordinance of Supervisors Placing Tax Instruments Corporation Is
Likely to Be Decaedvod Owing Ruling Made by Montana Judge
Suits Brought in Order to Test Constuonay of the License Law

In the Montana litigation the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company re-
sisted the action of William L. Steele,
Treasurer. of Lewis and Clark County,
who sought to recover arrears Of license
for two years for all telephones used by
the company in the county.
Is Part of Interstate System.
The State claimed that the instruments
were used for local business and there
fore were subject to taxation. The tele-
phone company asserted that the telc-
phones in question were part of an inter-
state system of commerce and were con-
sequentlv exempt from taxation. The as
sessment of the telephone instruments
was also point in the litigation.
Judge Clements, in rendering his deci-
sion, held that the telephones were not
used for local purposes alone, but that
they were connected with similar instru-
ments in other States and also worked in
conjunction with telegraph companies for
the transmission of messages.
Judge Clements ruled that the tele-
phones used exclusively in business with
in the State of Montana cannot be sep
arated from its instruments used in in
terstate business. Continuing, Judge
Clements said:
Nor does Political Code 4071, subdivision 2,
amended make such discrimination or sep
aration, but imposes the license tax upon each
telephone instrument in use without limiting

NEW MANAGER
At DEL MONTE
Schonewaid Returns and
w. A. Junker Retires
From Hotel.

George Schonewald is once again man
ager of Del Monte Hotel and w. A. junk
er is out. The change was made last
Saturday, Charles G. Lathrop going down
with Schonewald and officiating at the
installation ceremonies.
George Schonewald was a great friend
of the late Senator Stanford and Coils
P. Huntington. He was manager of the
hotel ever since 1t was built until two
years and half ago, when he resigned
and retired to his ranch near st. Helena.
Junker was promoted to the manager
ship.
His reinstatement comes as a great sur
prise. 1t is understood that Schonewald
was appointed to the old position about
month ago, w, A. Junker who has
been connected with the hotel for fifteen
years, was informed that Schonewald
would be again manager and that he
could act as his assistant, This did not
suit Junker and when Sehonewald took
charge of the hotel Saturday, Junker

Judicial Value of Instruments.
The judicial determination of the value
of telephone instruments is the first one
to be rendered in the Pacific Coast States
and will be an important precedent in all
litigation wherein the telephone company
reSists the assessment on it's property.
In the suits brought by the telephone
company to test the constitutionality Of
the ordinance passed two years ago tax
ing each telephone instrument at the rate
of 81 per quarter the decisions up to date
have been in favor Of the company. Su-
perior Judge Hebbard recently rendered
two decisions in favor of the company
without going into the merits of the ordi-
nance.

.HALEY'S WIFE

On Monday last The Call published the

DEMURRERS OF WATER
COMPANIES OVERRULED
Suit Instituted by City to Recover
Delinquent Taxes Will Go to
Trial.

Judge SeaweIl yesterday overruled the
demurrers interposed by the Contra Costa
Water Company and the Oakland Water
Company to the suits brought by this
city to recover delinquent taxes.
When the suit was first instituted the
defendants demurred to the complaint on
the ground that 1t did not state a suf1-
cient cause of action, and that it was
ambiguous. The demurrer was sustained
by Judge Seawell, who. however Granted
a motion for leave to file an amended
complaint. The demurrers overruled yes
terday were on the same ground as the
demurrers to the original complaint The
amended complaint, however was NOT
faulty, and the matter will now come up

HT HE contention of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph
Company that the ordinance
Ii passed two years ago by the
Board of Supervisors of this city
placing a tax of 81 per quarter on every
telephone in use is unconstitutional is
likely to be made good, judging by re-
cent decision handed down by Judge
Clements of the District Court of Helena,
Mont.
Suits are now pending in the Superior
Courts Of San Francisco County in which
the telephone company resists the ordt-
nance of the Board of Supervisors as to
a tax on its telephones. The matter Is Of
vital Importance to the company, for If
the ordinance is held to be valid the cor
poration will be called upon to pay more
than $3.50, 900 a year into the city and
county treasury.
The action of various Assessors in the
State in placing a valuation of $25 to $50
on each telephone of the company has
also been resisted by the corporation and
in the various suits now pending the de-
cisions of the courts will be affected by
the rulings made recently in Montana in
similar actions.

WAR BETWEEN CHILE AND ARGENTINE
NOW APPEARS TO BE A CERTAINTY

Buenos Ayres, Dec. p, (via Calves
ton)-It appeared this evening that the
Chilean incident, as the trouble be-
tween Argentina and Chile is referred
to here, has unexpectedly assumed a
more serious aspect.
The Tribuna, the official organ of the
government, admits that the Ultima
Esperanto question. instead of ap-
preaching settlement is becoming
graver and that the Chilean govern
ment is now in danger Of allowing it
self to be influenced by group Of
dOCtrinaries.
The feeling here is no longer Opti-
mistic. 1t is asserted that If Chile does
not change her exacting attitude to-
day a rupture between the two cOun-
tries viii occur.
The Nacion in an editorial article to-
day insists that the present situation
cannot be further prolonged, and that
an solution is preferable to the exist
ing uncertainty.
Senior Portela, the Argentine minister
to Chile and Senior YaneZ, the Chilean
minister of foreign affairs, viii have
another conference.
DR.. Alcorta, the Argentine minister
Of foreign dndlrS, presented 20 FIeSl-
dent Roca last night another telegram
from SenJr POTtela.
Or. AlcOrta then had a long confer
ence with General Mitre, formerly pres
ident of Argentina.
1t is said that Senior COncha Suber-
caseauX. the Chilean minister here, has
placed before President ROca a project
for a new protocol which includes with
drawing the Argentine and Chilean
officials from the territory in dispute
and from Ultima Esperanza.N

SMALL BOYS NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING AT THE SANITARIUM

There was excitement Of all kinds
at the Sanitarium yesterday afternoon.
Jay Quagey, the young son of P. ].
Qualey, would probably have drowned
had it not been Cor the action Of J. T.
Brennan, a commercial traveller from
Canton, O., who plunged into the pool
for the rescue with the clothes on in
which he intended soon appearing on
the streets.
Qualey, in company with Paddy Pee
bles, a boy from Butte, was sporting
around the pool on board when It
turned and the coal magnates son fell
into deep water. He could not swim,
and as he went down Paddy shouted
for help. Qualey bObbed up with a
yell, only TO go under again. Then
there was a panic in the pool, in which
were several persons of both sexes, old
and young.
Just as Qualey went down for the
second time Mr.. Brennan, who was
cOmbing his hair after a bath and dom
ming his clothes, took in the situation.
Not waiting for an invitation, the trav-
cling man leaped into the water, and
after half a dozen strokes and a dive
he laid hold of the drowning boy.
Little Jay was brought TO the side
of the pool in an exhausted condition
by his reseUer, and when he got his

Months.

Purdy Reardon. the crippled Bing-

Judge Stewards court on Monday last
of assault with deadly weapon With
intent to do bodily harm, was SEN
fenced TO eight months in the state
prison. Pending the passing of SEN
tence VIII F. Wanless, attorney for
ReardOn, argued a motion for a new
trial. which was Overruled.
Mr.. Wanless then said on behalf of
Reardon that he was generally recog-
ntzed at Bingham as a good fellow,
and Eat in view OF the fact that he
was a cripple and the jury had rec
commended mercy, he hoped the court
would be as lenjent as possible.
When asked if he lad anything to
say, ReardOn replied in the negative
and Judge Stewart then commented
upon his good reputation prior to the
shooting. together with his crippled
condition. The court also mentioned
the recommendation Of the jury for
mercy, and Concluded by sentencing
ReardOn to eight months. The maxi
mum sentence would have been five
years in prison and fine of 81 200.
