DIFFICULTY

The difficulty over the Seyler-Hum-
phrey company holdings at Manhattan
has been amicably adjusted and Will
result in the restoration OF
that eompany's shares to the list on the
San Francisco stock exchange. The
matter was after all one for which the
company was not responsible.
1t appears that when Seyler made the
original location on the property he had,
or is alleged to have had, a partner
named Simms. who supplied the grub
stake. The latter alleges that under the
terms of their agreement he was to hold
a half interest in all locations made by
Seyler overlooked Simms hen
the property was sold and the latter
sought redress in the courts. In order
to prevent legal entanglements to the
Seyler-Humphrey company Sol Camp
for that company has paid over to Mr..
Simms $4,000 and has received in re-
turn a release of all claims against the
company resulting from it's purchase of
Seyler's interests.

aiver in Golddeld

The Valentine German at which
Milton NJ. Detch played the part of host
so successfully Wednesday evening was
one of the most charming social func-
lions ever attempted in Goldfield or in
deen in Southern Nevad
The decorations of the hall added not
a little to the brilliancy of the occasion,
the color scheme being red and green.
Everywhere. depending from the ceiling
and over the walls were red hearts; the
music was half hidden in a bower of
green's.
Partners were selected for all dances
by demonstrations, roses of all
colors and chrysanthemums in such pro-
fusion as to make the guests forget
they were not in a land of flowers. Tin
horns, locks and keys and paper hearts
or mittens were also used as favors
adding much to the jollity Of all pres
ent.
Supper was served at the Palm after
midnight and not since Railroad Day
has that restaurant ~resounded so thrill
ingly with the war whoop of the In
dams and merry laughter as it did
Valentine night.
MI. Detch. moving about among his
guests, was greeted oil every side with
He's a jolly good fellow"
After supper dancing was again re-
stunned.

located herself on a corner which
Novinski had to pass in returning

her. She then threw one arm
around his neck and bit him sev-
eral times and kicked him on the
shins. Meanwhile he got loose
and then the enraged young lady
went after him with a hat pin, but
he managed to keep out of the
way until an officer arrived and
