1t is a mistake to think that
persons born ON the Goth of
February have d birthday only
once in four years. So far as
the mere figures are concerned
that may be so, or rather the
birthday will fall on Feb 90,
only once in four years, but
legally the birthday during the
OF her three years will be March

Located a Rich Claim

u. ]. Bigglns and Jesus Pueblo to-
day filed notice of location of min
ing claim on Winnemucca mountain.
TO be known as the "Biggins & Pueblo
Mining Claim" 1t is situated about
two miles northwest of Winnemucca.
There is a rumor connected with
the discovery of this claim which is
substantiated by an incident that oc~
CURED last summer. The story is to
the effect that Senator Blggins walked
over the mountain one Sunday mo n
ing, on a prospecting tour. He was
about to give up the search and re-
turn to town when he stirred up a
monster rattlesnake by stepping on
its tail. The snake made a pass at
the Senator. who jumped forty feet
from the ground and remained in the
air twenty-five seconds. Looking
about for safe place to light. he
steered his course toward a small de-
preston in the earths surface. and
when he struck he sank into the
ground about six inches. When he
pulled up his feet he found his shoes
were full of small nuggets and coarse
wire gold, and that the ground around
was literally yellow with the precious
metal. He marked the spot, but de-
ferred locating the claim until the
recent snow. when the danger of meet
ing the rattlesnake again was very
slight

RAILROAD MERGER
CASE IS ON
Injunction Asked Prohibiting
Company From Control OF
6. N. and N. P.

Washington, Jan. S.-The case of the
state of Minnesota against the North
ern Securities company, alleging a vio-
lation of the state laws and asking
an injunction. opened before the su-
preme court here.
In this case the government has no
direct interest. 1t was the original in
tention to hear this case prior to the
hearing of the United States case.
which was recently argued, but on re-
quest of AttorneyGeneral Douglas of
Minnesota the case was postponed un-
til after the government case, thus
enabling Minnesota to take advan-
tage of the masterful argument by
Attorney General Knox.
Minnesota today is represented by
Attorney General Douglas and Attor-
neys Mum of st. Pauf and Wilson of
Minneapolis. The Securities company
is represented by Attorneys Dunn.
Clough. Johnson. Young and Glover.
Minnesota demands an injunction to
prevent the Securities company from
voting at any meeting of the stock
holders or the great northern or
Northern Pacific. participation in the
management of the two roads. or per-
mitting any of its officers to exercise
control over the same and from hold
ing any of the stock of either COM
pany. One of the states strongest ar
guments is that 1t still owns three
million acres of public land traversed
by the two railroads and that under
the merger the roads would cease
building spurs into these lands, thus
preventing an increase in value and
loss of taxes.
The Securities counsel offers an ar
gument covering much of the same
ground as in the case of the United
States against the company. The COM
pany's contention is that consolidation
was necessary to extend the trade of
the United States to the Orient and
that 1t was essential TO have an east
ern connection. which was secured
through the purchase of the Burling-
ton.
