Papers now iilei in the Goldiield
Justices court may BRING n strange state
of legal proceedings To decide whether
TUnOpah is III iIsmcradI or Nyc county,
as formerly understood. Former man
agcr George j. GcIs Of the Tonopah
New England mine haa brought suit
before Judge Bell for the sum of 800 for
back salary. The bringing OF the suit
here from TorOpah evidences The fact
that all that part ut Tonopuh which lies
tO the west oi the Sicbcrt shaft on the
Mizpah ground ia nov considered 20 bo
within hc bounds of Efmc raida county
This stand is known to have been
taken III the land uilirc in Carson for
some time. lloTarl I;usscl, "a deputy
constable, not very long ago applied in
the latter city Tor title to piece Of
town property he owned i'll TonOpah and
WIS nskcd by the officials as to whether his
property lay to the west Of the Sicbcrt
shnit, and upon answering III the affirm
ativc hc was informed that his property
Ii" al Esmcrallda county and as such hc
should apply Tor nm Esmcralda title.
Should this decisiou hold good the
greater part ot Tonopuh is nov in
Esmcralda county even iucludIng the
court house. Truly a ptrangc state
of affairs when IT ia understood that Nyu
county will no! give up her Tonopah
without struggio. rho bone Of con-
tcntlun appears to liz in the Discrepancy
in what is known as the BOOKER and
Siuclnirc survoys. Suclnirc ran limo
Cor Esmcralda l}opkcr's line passes
through Tonopnh on the south giving
Nyr county tho priao. Siuclnrcs liuc
passcs through Tonopah Mt tho SIcbcrt
shaft thus giving Esmoralda tho greater
part oi tho town. When the controversy
il brought to Climav between the
surveys Of tho whole matter will hinge
on the exact point Of which the angle of
the conuiy should begin to switch 81 the

No shddcr sight tn be seen in India
than the spectacle Of "The Men With
the Planks," staggering along under
their burden. Here is a grimIy pathetic
! picture OF the IN, drawn by Sir Frederick
| Treves.
"They are hillmen OF the poorer sort
who carry planks Of snwn wood into
Simia. Each beam il from twelve TO
fourteen feet in length, and two or three
| make up load. The men arc ill.clad,
and the sun and rain have tanned them
and their rags to the color OF brown
earth. They bear tho plnnks across
their bent backs, and the burden is
grievous. Ithoy come from place some
days journey toward the SHOWS. They
piod along from tho dawn to tho twi-
| light. They seem crushed by the weight
| OF the beams, md their gait is::more the
gait OF a stumbling beast than the walk
OF man. Their long black hair is
white with dust rs it hangs by each side
