THE r DENIED.

Sessions of the District Court Can
Not Be Held in Tonopah.
An Act was passed by the last Legisla-
ture, il will be remembered. authoriz-
ing the District Judge of the Third
Judicial District to hold sessions of
Court for Nye County in Tonopah,
whenever the people of that part of
Nye County lying nearer or more IN
veniently situated to the town of Tono-
pah han to the town of Belmont shall
be accommodated thereby, or such sit
ting will be more enomical to the liti-
gants or to the county of Nye than sit
tin9s held at the town of Belmont, of
which condition the District Judge of
said district shall be the sole judge"
Judge Breen, the Judge of the dis
trict, declined to hold Court at Tonopah
for the reaso that it appeared to him
that a grave doubt existed as to the
constitutionality of the Act, and sug.
gested to those interested that the
question he settled by the highest
Court in the State, so that great and
useless cos and expense to the county
may be avoided.
Certain of the citizens of Tonopah
thereupon applied to the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the Comfy Commissioners of Nye

Act, and thereby test the constitution

The Supreme Court on Monday, Sep.
TENDER 81. handed down a decision deny
ing the writ and declaring the law un-
constitutional. thus settling the ques-
ton finally.
The opinion was written by Justice
Talbot. and concurred in Justices Fitz.

The District Attorney of Humboldt

zine fact" says the Reno Journal.
s'that the law in some particulars might
not be thoroughly understood, or a
wrong construction given some of its
sections, it was considered expedient to
appoint an attorney who could visit the
county seats, meet with the Boards of
Equalization and explain its various
provisions ; also suggest a proper report
or statement to be filed with the State
Controller, and inaugurate a uniform
system of books and comparative state
ments for each county. Hon. H. +.
Bartine, upon the recommendation Of
Attorney General Sweeney, was ap-
pointed as State Examiner, and will be-
gin his duties Immediately"
The appointment of a State Examiner
to begin work at once on a law that is
not operative until 1904, is certainly
taking Father Time by the forelock. The
members of the last Legislature who
enacted this tax-reduction law, did not
provide for a State Examiner without
compensation. Furthermore, the State
Examiner was to be an emergency Of
ficer, wholly dependent for a job on
something that MAY occur. 1t was not the
intention of the lawmakers to create an
office and smooth the way for the Board
of Revenue to fill a political berth
year or more in advance.
Section IL of the law reads: ''The
State Board of Revenue shall be en-
powered to employ, AT SUCH TIMES AS
NAY BE NECESSARY, an Examiner who
shall inspect the accounts and records
of the various counties AND WHO SHALL
REPORT ANY VIOLATION OF THIS ACT TO
THE STATE BOARD OF REvESUE." Then
follows a penalty clause, which pertains
to county officers.
"Section IL. For the payment of
such Examiner, including his travelling
expenses, and for such expenses as may
be made by the State Board Of Revenue
under this Act, the sum Of $500 per
annum is hereby appropriated"
To employ a nan to ''look up" what
the Reno Journal terms the slight hard
ships that may be met with by strictly
following the provisions Of the law, and
to suggest remedies and solutions, may
be the present Board of Revenues the
ory of tax reduction. but to the major
ity of taxpayers it is mourning an un-
necessary expense.

MORE TROUBLE FOR ToNoPAh

So far as the United States Govern
ment map now on file in the United
States Land Office at Carson City shows,
it appears that the entire town Of To
nopah, as well as the greater part of its
valuable mines, are in Esmeralda
County.
From a diagram shown the SENTINEL
this week, purporting to be based
upon the above map, the north and
south dividing line seems to run as
follows:
Commencing at the south, it runs
diagonally through the Tonopah Anal
gamated property, and thence north
westerly through the Stone Cabin,
Desert Queen. Mizpah, Lucky Jim.
along the east side line Of the Campfire
and Silver Top mines, touching the
southwest corner Of the Little Tonopah;
thus leaving the entire business portion
Of the town many hundreds Of feet to
the west and in Esmeralda County.
Should the Government map be cor.
rect, the complications and almost end.
less litigation it will give rise to, unless
the cool heads Of both the interested
counties take hold of the helm, will be
enormous.
So far as the camp is concerned the
new boundary line win Of course cut no
figure. 1t will not take from nor add a
pound of ore to its mines.
It would seem that the proper thing
to do, under the circumstances. would
be for the County Commissioners of
both counties to appoint a joint com-
mission of competent surveyors and.
taking the Government map as the
basis Of q new survey. or at least into
grave consideration, settle the question
in q friendly and amicable tanner.
There can be little doubt that all
future patents to mines in the new dis
trict will be based upon the Govern
ment line. and that all further mining
locations west Of the line will have to
be recorded in Esmeralda County.
The vexed question should be adjust
ed without delay. SO as to avoid expense
and trouble. A large number of the
county officers of Nye County claim a
legal residence in Tonopah. and it is
not at all likely that a candidate for
Office under the present circumstances,
who is q resident of Tonopah. would
take the chance Of running for q Nye
County Office at the next election.
In the meantime let us pay a tribute
to the tenacity of purpose exhibited by
Senator Bell in the last Legislature in
resisting the effort to change the county
seat from Belmont to Tonopah. for. had

situation, Mr.. Tonkin cared for and
looked after him while en- route to the
city. They stopped at the Golden West
hotel and after a few days Mr.. Lauten-
schlager was removed to the hospital.
Mr.. Tonkin gave up his business and
devoted his entire time to his friend.
After being at the hospital n day the
sick man turned over all his papers and
valuables to his friend, requesting him
to look after his effects and business if
anything happened to him. Later, Mr..
Lautenschlager died, and Immediately
Mr.. Tonkin had his remains shipped
home, attending to all matters in per-

Arkansans Honored.

It Is acknowledged all over the country that Arkansas Is making remarkable strides in commercial and industrial growth, and 1t should also be observed that in other lines the progress is equally rapid. Dur ing last year at least four citizens of the state were executive officials of national organizations, and to their credit and the honor of their state they proved themselves the men for the positions. Judge |. NJ. Rose was elected president of the American Bar Association on the 23d of August, 1901, holding the office one year. Hon. James ?. Eagle, ex-governor of Arkansas, was elected president of the South ern Baptist Convention at the an- nual meeting, May 9, 1909, and Is still in office Col. F. B. T. HoI- lenberg, president - the Hollen- berg Music Co., was chosen presi- dent of the National Association of Piano Dealers of America on the 17th of May, 1909, and is the pres ent executive of that association. Dr. James A. Dibrell, in October, 1901, wks elected vice president of the American Medical Association. These honors bestowed upon the distinguished citizens of Arkansas have directed the most favorable attention to the state as one of learning as well as commerce.
