TAKE CONTROL OF ECLIPSE.
Group OF TonOpah Men TO Opersfs
Mine at Nevada City.


TOSOPAH. Sept. IA group OF
Tonopah men, headed by Bruce and
Elliott OF the Tonopah Water Com
pany, have taken over control OF the
Eclipse mine at Nevada City. Cal The
property Is an old one and reported to
have wonderful showings. reports that
are fully justified II the samples shown
are typical OF the ore body IN the mins
as IS claimed The Eclipse Is the prop
erty OF the Simmons brothers OF Me-
vada City. Several years ago it was
bonded TO Los Angeles people, who in
stalled hoist and pumps and sank to
the 1S0-foot level. where. according TO
the story. they encountered very rich
ore II was stated that several Of the
last buckets taken ont at this time
were half gold fire destroyed the
machinery just at this time. and IL il
asserted that II was the work OF an
incendiary. who wished 10 discourage
the company and buy in the mine. II
this was his object he was successful
as the hoist was never restored and the
bond lapsed TO the owners Then the
burner OF the plant attempted to buy
the mine. but the simmons boys had
been told OF the true condition and
great values and refused to sell Later
Bruce and Elliott came on the scene
and put UP money enough TO unwater
the workings and do a little explora-
ton They were SO much impressed
with what was found that they put
through a deal whereby a number OF
Tonopah operators became interested
and are planning to develop the prop
erty on an extensive scale The plan
includes the taking over OF two ad-
joining properties, on one OF which
there is a stamp mill OF modern de-
sign. now disused- The local men are
enthusiastic over the showing and pre-

REsTORER IS GIVEN
EXONERAT|ON.
Carrying of Cargo From
Steamship Mongolia to
Honolulu Is Permitted
SEIZURE Is AVOIDED

The British cable steamer Restorer.
which went from Honolulu to Midway
Islands and took some Of the stores
of the stranded steamship Mongolia TO
Honolulu. has escaped confiscation by
a decision of Lawrence o. Murray. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
which reached Acting Customs COL
lector Hamilton yesterday. For the
enlightenment of non-nauticaI per-
sons, il is well TO explain that foreign
vessels are prohibited. under penalty
of forfeiture. from plying between or
carrying cargo or passengers from one
port OF the United States or territories
TO another. Thus foreign steamer
may bring passengers or freight from
any foreign port TO the United States
or any of its territories, but 1t may
not call at more than one port in this
country on the same trip Hence a
foreign vessel discharging passengers
and cargo at San Francisco would not
be allowed to leave this port and dis
charge cargo or passengers at San
Diego also.
and as the Midway Islands are claimed
and occupied by the United States, it
looked as II the Restorer had rendered
herself liable TO conf1scation under the
maritime laws of this country.
Acting Customs Collector Hamilton
sent a report OF the case to Washing
ton and received a reply yesterday
from Assistant Secretary Murray. The
secretary quotes the opinion of the
United States Attorney Generals Of
fee in a similar case, wherein a for
eign vessel brought cargo from Homo
lulu to Guam The Attorney General
said:
Guam is an unorganized territory of
small extent concerning which Com
gress has abstained from legisIatinr
almost wholly; and do not think. in
view of this action of the legislative
statutes for fragments of law which we
can by construction apply to the
islands.
Congress will doubtless at the proper
time take upsthe subject and legislate
for Guam. either by special laws fitted
to its situation and condition or BY
extending to II, as IL did in the case of
Alaska. Porto Rico and Hawaii the
general laws of the United States not
locally inapplfcabie.
For these reasons / am of opinion
that the highly penal statute In oues-
tion would not give rise to a forfeiture
in the case of a British vessel going
from San Francisco TO Guam, at (which
place Congress has made no provision
for, adjudicating upon and enforcing
by Congress in an anomalous situation
but IL is not for the executive TO sup
ply by Interpretation and construction
any legislative requirements.
Assistant Secretary Murray applies
the same reasoning in the Midway
Islands. and no further steps will be
taken in the Restorer case.

that this ruling Is erroneous.
The origin OF the suit Is found In
the abolition by General Brooke while

This right had been exercised by her
family since 1927 and she asked dam
