MANHATTAN.

Mikulich and Smith, leasing on
the White Cap group of claims of
the Manhattan Dexter company, are
lowering their shaft well down into
the permanent pay area and as the
rock in its bottom is hardening it
appears probable that the broken
ore zone which always prevails near
surface is about penetrated. Sink
ing will continue until depth OF
100 feet is gained when the ledge
is to be crosscut and drifted on.
The main ledge crossing the
White Cap grouD is one of the best
in the entire camp in point of golt

Among the many men who are

these gentlemen took more than so

IMPORTANT DEAL

TONOPAH PEOPLE

A deal of the utmost importance
and great interest to Tonopah has
Just been closed. Messrs. Charles f
Knox and Mark L. Kerr, have Sc
cured the Bodie Lumber and Rail-
road Company. The property was
recently examined by them and the
acquisition of the property has fol-
lowed. This company owns thirty
four miles Of narrow gauge trackage
ana the necessary rolling stock, to-
gether with a sawmill with capa-
citg of 10000 feet, as wei las 1900
act es OF timber near Mono Lake. The
company was owned and controlled
in Scotland Mr. Knox, who is the
financial leader in the enterprise, has
already made the first payment on
tha deal Mr. Kerr has been ap-
pointed chief engineer and he has
his assistant engineer, with a party
to inspect the ground with view to
making railroad connections between
the lumber mill and Tonopah
Several other leading operators OF
prominent mines in Goldfeld and
Tonopah have agreed to join Mr.
Knox and Mr.. Kerr in the undertake
ing. In the present fuel stringency
it should be a source of much conso-
lation to know that such project
which will insure thousands of cords
cf wood, is actually being consum
mated under the control of loca
people. The new mill which is nov
being erected here and the Others
which will follow will need lime foi

feet and 1t is intended 70 extend
400 feet further, with the firm ex-

simultaneously.
The property, which is owned by
Senator Nixon, George Wingheid'

On the east side of Fish Lake val

RENDERS DECISION

A telegram was received last eve
ming by Ray Baker, from his father,
G. w. Baker, the eminent California
attorney, advising that the suit for
a receiver and an accounting brought
by George SINNERS against the
Hayes-Monnette peaple had been de-
cided in favor of the defendant upon
every point. The suit was brought
about four months ago by SINNERS
to show cause why a receiver should
not be appointed and an accounting
made of the profits resulting from
the Hayes-Monnette lease on the ia
nous Mohawk. SINNERS and Mon
nette were partners in the mining
business. The former was the min
ing man, while the latter was fur
nishing the financial backing. The
leasing proposition was completed
but SINNERS was left out of the ar
rangements. This action through
the courts was to obtain his share
in the huge profits arising from the
leasing operations
The request for the appointment
Of a receiver has been granted by
the court unless Monnette files {
bond for $4,000 SINNERS claimi
one-eighth interest in the lease, 4
receiver will not interfere with th'
working of the mine. All the par
ties concerned say that the leas

The Hannapah Mining Company,
organization composed of prominent
Utah mining men, has purchased
complete pumping equipment for
their possessions, and this machln-
cry is on it's way to the Nevada pro-
perty for immediate installation.
Work upon the Hannapah ground
had to be discontinued some time
ago owing to the water in the work
ings, depth Of 800 feet having
been obtained before activity was
stopped. With the equipment ncw
enroute the management will be able
to continue development work to the
depth where the main resources Of
the ground are confidently expected
to be, and the new year will find
this organization well in shape for
an active campaign.
At the first of the month the Han.

bonds to the extent of quarter OF a
million dollars for the purpose oi
providing funds for the equipment
and development work 1t is un
derstood that Samuel Newhouse, De

Injunctions.

In my last message / suggested the
enactment of a law in connection
with the issuance of injunctions, at
tention having been sharply drawn
to the matter by the demand that
the right of applying injunctions in
labor cases should be wholly abolish
ed. Il is at least doubtful whether
a law abolishing altogether the use
of injunctions in such cases would
stand the test of the courts; in which
case of course the legislation would
be ineffective. Moreover, believe
it would be wrong altogether to pro-
hibit the use of iniunctions. It is
criminal to permit sympathy for
