Attorneys George w. Prichard and
John Y. Hewett, of White Oaks, have
presented their oral argument before
Judge Mann in the matter of Orson E.
Clark VS.. the Apex Gold Mining Com
pany, Lincoln County. This case
springs from tax suit, wherein the
Territory recovered from the North
Homestake Mining Company judgment
for $1,475.97, interest and costs, in Oc
tober, 1899. Execution issued, aud the
property was sold October 12, 1901,
for delinquent taxes thereon from
1897 to 1901, inclusive. In March,
1908, Orson e. Clark, one of the stock
holders in the Apex Gold Mining Com
pany, brought suit to have the judg-
ment of the court. whereby the North
Homestake mine was sold for taxes,
set aside and declared null and void,
on the ground that he, with other
shareholders, had purchased the prop
erty several years previous to the tax
Judgment, but that the majority of the
shareholders, who are made defend
ants in the case, had conspired to de-
fraud the minority shareholders OF the
company, including the shares held by
complainant, whereby the property of
the said company in the county of Lin
coin should be sold under the pretend
ed tax judgment. Prichard, for plain
tiff, and Hewett, for defendants, con-
sumed the entire day with their argu-
ment, and the case, in which are in
volved number of fine points, is in
the hands of Judge Mann, who will dis
pose of it within the next few days.
