DIMES
in CIRCULATION
HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF
COUNTERFEIT, BUT The
SOUND Is THAT or GOOD
MONEY.

Some peculiar looking dimes are IN
circulation in Pensacola, but whether
or not they are counterfeit Is ques-
ton which has not yet been established
and will not be until today, when Mar
shat Schad, who has come into pos
session Of two of them, will carry
them to one of the banks and ask the
opinion of the paving teller.
The dimes have every appearance
of being counterfeit, but the souno
when dropped is that Of good money
and cannot be distinguished from that
OF any other similar piece. IT, money
has the appearance Of having beeh
dipped in some acid or solution, whicn
has given it a slippery feeling and
very bright color.
The marshal obtained the two dimes
from q prisoner in the city jail, VINO
claims that he picked them up from
the floor Of his cell The dates Oh
coinage are 1908 and 1895, respective

"You have a wonderful camp, and (

COMPANY LOSES IN
aaTrgI COMBINATION SUIT

On Monday the 18th at Hawthorne
Judge Murphy rendered a decision in
the ease of the Combination Mines com-
pany VS.. John McKane, ]. D. Campbell,
B. j. Reilly and the Florence Goldfeld
Mining company, in which the judge
ordered the amended and supplemental
complaint stricken from the files and
the attachments dissolved. This is the
first skirmish in the important Gtiga-
ton growing out Of the famous Reilly
lease.
It will be remembered that in the
early part Of October, 1905, the Com
bination Mines company secured an in
junction against McKane, Reilly and
Campbell in the operation of the Reilly
lease, restraining them from extracting
ore from within the boundaries Of the
Combination company's property. The
Combination company claimed that the
~lessees had followed the lodges from
the Florence mining claim into the
boundaries of the Side Line Fraction
mining claim owned by the Combina-
ton company. After the lease had ex-
PRED and the injunction had played its
part the Combination company at
tempted to change the suit for an in
junction into an action for damages by
fling an amended and supplemental
complaint.
By the amended complaint they
claimed damages not only for ore al
legged to have been extracted by the
~lessees of the Reilly lease from within
the boundaries of the Combination
c%ompany's property, but they also
claimed ownership of all of the ore
taken out on the Reilly lease. The
theory of the plaintiffs was that the
rich vein on the Florence mining claim
had it's apex in one of the claims
owned by the Combination company.
The amount of damages claimed in the
amended complaint was $450,000 and
at the time the amended complaint was
fled the plaintiffs secured an attach
ment for $450,000.
On Saturday the 18th, Judge Murphy
heard arguments of counsel on motion
to strike the amended and supple
mental complaint from the files and to
dissolve the attachments levied on the
property of the various defendants. On
Monday Judge Murphy rendered his
decision as above stated. The plain
tiff's will now be compelled to begin
over anew.
The plaintiff is represented by Camp
bell, Metson & Brown and Augustus
Tilden. The defendants McKane, Reilly
and Campbell by Key Pittman.

WILL SINK DEEP A
preparations Being made for Deep
Mining on the Booth

W. w. Booth, proprietor Of the TonO-
nah Bonanza, is one Of the principal
stockholders in the Booth COLD Mining
company. MI. Booth has been n CAM
this week preparing to explore the
Booth property at a depth of 200 feet;
and as the property adjOins the famous
Red Top nine on the north it is more
than likely that after a time he will
be a large owner in a Goldfeld
honaaza az well. The foregoing state
ment suggests the inference that there
ia Mt least one editor in Southern Me-
vada who is obtaining sufficient rev.
niue from his publication to do more
than supply himself with a "pie
fcard,' and therefor has time to occupy
his mind with thoughts other than
those associated with the problem of
existence and the incessant demand for
"copy."
Last Saturday the initial step to-
ward attaining the required depth was
taken by the starting of a shaft at =
point where the Red Top and Booth
claims end line. The Red Top ledge has
its strike through the latter and it is be
lieved that at a point not greater n
depth than 900 feet it will be found t,
contain high grade ore. Sinking is tc
be facilitated by means of an electric
hoist which will be installed as soon
as sufficient depth has been gained 70
operate it to advantage.
