Legal Contest Over Two Locations on One
 Mining Claim.
The Iron King Vein Figures in a Spirited Legal Battle and Both Claimants Indulge in a Great Ef-
 fort to Reach Mineral in Place"

The case of Howell Mining company vs A. J. Carroll was decided by jury yesterday in favor of the defendant, Carroll. It involved a controversy over rival claims to a piece of mining round lying immediately north of what is known as the Iron King group of mines. On the southern portion of the Bonanza claim of this group the croppings of the Iron King vein were apparent. Further north for a dis tance of several thousand feet the vein did not crop on the surface.
 On the Bonanza the Blanchard peo- pie had sunk a shaft to a depth of over 100 feet, and then drifted on the vein towards the ground in dispute in this case. The Howell Mining con- pany claimed the ground ty reason of a location made on the 23d day of May, 1903, and the defendant Carroll asserted his rights under a location made the day before, May 9, 1903. Both discovery monuments were erect ed at the southern end of the claim and within eighty or ninety feet of each other.
 The surface ground gave no indica- tion of mineral, being a wash consist ing of sand and wash boulders, and the only reason for believing there was mineral in the ground was the fact that the strike of the Iron King vein was apparently in northerIy di- rection.
 Carroll began sinking shaft some distance from the southerly end of his claim, and Blanchard prosecuted his work on the south end of his claim, which was called the Gold Deposit, Carroll's claim being known as the Iron King Extension No. l. Carroll sunk his shaft for depth of 103 feet before he found any indication of mineral. He then struck bed rock and cross cut for distance of forty feet when he reached the Iron King ledge. This work was prosecuted so diligent- Iy and with such dispatch that all of it was completed inside Of sixty days.
 Blanchard, representing the Howell Mining company, sunk a discovery shaft twelve feet and then discontinu- ed work. After Carroll struck the mineral in his shaft, the Howell Min ing company began a new shaft and sunk 175 feet, striking bed rock, and then drifted thirty or forty feet and found the same vein that Carroll had.
 Carroll made application for patent on his claim and the Howell Mining company filed an adverse, ard the lat ter within the statutory time began its suit in the district court, making Carroll defendant, to settle the ques- tion of the right of possession to the ground.
 The case finally narrowed down to one issue, which of these two loca- tions was made first. The jury was impaneled on Friday last, and many witnesses were examined, and at Il 30 yesterday morning the jury retired to consider its verdict. In the afternoon it returned a verdict in favor of Car roll. Eminent counsel represented the rival interests, Hawkins, Ross & An derson appearing for the Howell Min ing company, and Andrews & Pattee, John c. Forest and Robert E. Morri- son looking after the interests of MT. Carroll.

FUNNY OLD METHODS

CHANCE FOR IMPROVEMENT IN
MANY THINGS.
Perfection Has Been Reached in Many
Others.

Suppose you were obliged to 60 -
New York. Wouldn't it seem strange
/ to you to get into an old-fashioned, mus
ty-smelling. jolting stage coach? t
was not so many years ago that people
had to travel that way.
Think Of the inconvenience-thin
of the hardships, even, they were
obliged to suffer; and think of the time
consumed. We doubt whether these
experiences tended to lengthen their
lives.
1t is Just so with hundreds of other
things A great improvement Is an
nounced. We marvel at it for a few
days, and then accept it as a matter
of course. Now, if it is necessary to
90 to some distant city. we are made
as comfortable, if not more so, than
though we remained right in our
homes. and few hours brings us,
without fatigue. to our de'tination.
There is not a man living who would
prefer the old way, after he has ex-
perienced the delights of modern meth
ods.
But it is not in travel alone that
Improvement has been made. There
are many other things much more vital
to the ultimate good of man than easier
methods of going from place to place,
and nothing, probably, will illustrate
this better than the much-talked-of
Vinol-for in Vinol we see what has
formerly been necessity, attended
with the most dissgreeabe features,
transformed into what Is really lux
ury.
In Vinol we have the elements of
what has been the greatest medicine
knog,n 70 man for the cure of wasting
diseases of every description, namely,
cod liver oil; hut in Vinol we have
none of the Objectionable features that
attended cod liver oil.
As Mr.. Geo. w. Putnam, of our city,
who has connected himself with the
Boston firm of chemists producing these
goods. will tell you, and as many other
druggists in town would endorse him,
Vinol is the essence of all that is good
in cod liver oil. Vinol is not a patent
medicine-hence its popularity with
physicians as well as the public. The
manner of producing Vinol is new
discovery. 1t is the result of spe-
cial process by which the curative and
medicinal elements are extracted from
the liver of the live cod, leaving be-
hind the fat and grease.
Just the right proportion needed of
this extract is dissolved in a delicate
table wine, and so today, in the line of
medicine, all who have found it neces-
sary to take cod liver oil may do away
with all the disagreeable features of
the old way, discarding the horrible
grease which may be likcned to the
numbering and unhealthful vehicle OF
travel of the past, and take instead,
as Mr.. Potnam himself. in speaking of
the matter. described it, of medicine
finding in Vinol the elements so much
needed to reItore health, entirely dis
guised and much more rapid and eff
cient in the manner that they operate
