NO RECEIVER FOR THE
HECLA MINING COMPANY
Judge McMaster Refuses the Peti-
ton Recently Filed by New
ton w. Todd.
WORKED IN GOOD FAITH

Judge McMaster, of the Superior Court.
yesterday refused the appointment of a
receiver for the Heca Mining Company as
requested by Newton w. Todd. The suit
was filed a few weeks ago the grounds
that the assets of the company were being,
used fraudulently and that the surplus of
money in the treasury was being appro-
priated by the officers of the company for
extravagant salaries.
Another allegation was that the board of
directors allowing number of the
mines in the district to lie idle.
In rendering his decision Judge McMaster
said he did not believe there were grounds
for the appointment of receiver and said
that in his opinion the board of directors
was acting for the good of all the stock
holders concerned. The report of Dan Rams
dell said that the salaries of the officers
were not, in his opinion. extravagant and
one reason that the mines had not been
paying dividend was because Of the floods
which filled the mines. 1t was shown that
the water had all been pumped out of the
mines now, and the future prospects for the
company were good.

.SHORTRIDGE FACULTY is
AROUSED TO ACTIVITY
Student Body Advised to Ostracize
Members that Report for
Daily Papers.
EDITORIAL IN THE ECHO

The Shortridge High School faculty is
up in arms against the students who re-
port the doings of the school to the daily
papers. Several of the teachers took oc-
casion yesterday to dwell at length upon
this subject 10 their classes. Professor
Thomas, head of the English department,
said that the faculty could do nothing to
remedy the matter but the students could
and should take action and have the offend
ing students ostracized in a social way.
He said further that the pupils had no
more right to publish the misdoings of
their fellow-students than they would have
to proclaim every little rumpus in their
own family. Several other teachers spoke
upon the same topic, also cautioring the
more prominent students to be more care
full and not give occasion TO have their
names in print. The whole discussion was
caused by an article in one of the papers
in which the names of some of the most
prominent young ladies of the school were
given in connection with an escapade in
which several of the students cut classes
by jumping out of the windows.
The Daily Echo published the following
editorial in regard 10 the subject yesterday
morning:
THE doings at the Shortridgc High School
dents canpot enter into an association or
play prank without getting a very unde-
sirable notoriety, which is detrimental to
their good name. Every little saying or
doing of teacher or principal, girl or boy, is
exaggerated and reported to the daily pa
pers. We, the student body, have been
powerless to help ourselves in this matter.
Can we not however, generate such a
spirit as to assist us in retaining our own
self-respect and to free US from the in
Vulnerable evils of notoriety of this cheap,
in he nj w
papers about our schoomates? Can we
not refuse to countenance the boy girl
In school who would write such disgrace
full staff for the papers. and for the sake
or few cents risk the good name of the
school and good reputation of it's students
who writes all these articles? The
answer is but too true-some of our own
fellow-students sell the reputation and good
names of their schoolmates for few cents
which they receive as their reward The
false impressions created arise from these
reporters and is typified by them. They
judge the students and the school by their
own standards-and the students and the
school don't like it, and wish that it would
be stopped at once"

TRIAL OF BRODRICK
PROVES EXPENSIVE

The trial of Justus L. Brodrck in the
Federal Court during the past two weeks.
cost the government in actual figures 81. 1858.
Brodrick was in court eight days and en-
tered plea of guilty on the ninth. In this
time more than a score of witnesses were
examined and the expense of bringing them
here and paying them cost the government
considerable money. When the case was
called, the entire panel of forty-eight men
was called to the city The twelve chosen
as jurors were paid So a day each for their
services, and those that were discharged
were paid for three days at the same rate

trial will not cost the government so much,
as ii is thought his trial will last not more
than q week.
