A TRIBE.
"Bob" Stewart Says PiuteS do
NOT Recognize ShOshOnes.

A good joke was played on genial
"Bob" Stewart of Sodayille, Wednes-
day by some Of his friends. Bob has
lived in Nevada for a good many
years and can speak several langu-
ages huentIy, including English,
Irish, Dutch, Spanish, Chinook and
Piute. This fact is well known in
Tonopah and when Judge Breen de-
sired an interpreter to translate the
testimony of Indian Johnny in the
Montgomery Shoshone case Wednes
dav Bob" Stewart was suggested
as Just the person TO fill the position
to perfection. Judge Breen vas as
sured that Bob" knew the Indian
language better than Chief Tom Toi
Toi himself and the Judge directed
the deputy sheriff to notify Mr..
Stewart to appear in Court at once.
The sheriff did his duty and found
"Bob" enjoying a swell champagne
dinner with several other mining
maguates, in the Mizpah Cafe.
Bob pleaded to be allowed to
finish the repast, but the officer was
obdurate and compelled the unfor.
tuuate gentleman TO accompany him
to court. Arriving there, Judge
Breen asked Mr., Stewart il he coulC
sneak and understand the Shoshou,
language. Bob" looked kind 0
sheepish and said mo, your Honor,
only speak the Piute language ant
our tribe does not recognize th0
Shoshones.' The Judge vas dumb
founded but appreciated the situa
ton and excused Bob He ha
!. spent several hours as well as dollar
since the occurrence, e~ndeavoring I

This is the time of the year for doing
assessment work and claim owners
should bear in mind that they must
record an affidavit of proof Of work
with the County Recorder. They also
should bear in mind that the law says
that 500 worth of work must be done,
not $40, or $50 or 800, but 500 worth
of work. This means twenty-five days
work for one man at 81 a day.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
AN CASE.

An important decision in favor oil
the plaintiff was recently handed
down by Judge Hawley in the case OF
January Jones VS.. L. L. Patrick, ct
al wherein Jones is suing for one
eight OF the famous Combination
mine at Goldfeld. BY the Judges
decision, a demurrer interposed by
the defendants which sought to debar
all evidence that went to prove the
existence of a verbal agreement as
TO a partnership between Jones and
Patrick was o~verruled, and the case
will now come up on its merits at
the next term of the United States
Circuit Court at Carson City, New.
The Importance OF this legal con-
troversy between Jones and Patrick
may be realized when it is known
that the amount at stake is about
5000, 600. This sum represents the
nominal market value OF one-eighth
OF the 1876, 900 issued shares Of the
Combination Mines Co. and should
Jones win the suit, the dividends on
the stock involved, will add about
"a, 900 a month to his income.
Almost like the wonders Of ALA.
din's lamp is the story of the evolu
ton Of the Combination mine, in &
little over two years, from a hilll
area Of sagebrush to a fabulously ricI
mine, paying s32, 600 monthly diyi
dends or at the rate of Sl.0O pc
month on each share OF stock.
The claims comprising the holding
of the company, were located in tn
Fall Of 1903 by Al Meyers, and !
November Of the same year tn
property passed to Chicago cap
talists on d bond OF $75, 900. Onl
So, 900 in cash was paid and Il
balance Of the purchase price W.
supplied from the proceeds Of the OF
taken out OF an 80 foot shaft.
1t was through the efforts Of ia.
nary Jones and Patrick that Il
merits of this wonderful mine wei
first brought to the attention
capitalists and the eighth intere.
Jones seeks to recover represen
his share Of the profits Of the hot
tiou.
No better example Of the treme
dous appreciation in value Of Col
fields mines can be cited than Il
interest Jones seeks to recover.
November 1903, one eighth Of t
Combination was worth s 1915 fgu
ing on the basis OF the original pr
chase price $75, 600. Today $780,
is the conservative valuation of
same ano in two aud one-half yea
$780, 25 has been added to I

dends, which now amount ca
