A sensational lawsuit was brought in
Tonopah yesterday, in which James H.
Sim, a pioneer resident of the camp, is
plaintiff and E. E. Saylor, j. E. Hum
phrey, F. G. Humphrey, G. A. Cooper
and G. E. Maute are defendants. The
papers were filed with County Clerk
Bevis by c. H. Mcintosh, who is attor-
ney for plaintiff Sim.
The suit is brought by Sim to recover
one-half interest in and to certain
mining claims in Manhattan, the town
sites of Manhattan, South Manhattan,
and the Buyo, New Erie and Golden
Hill additions to the town of South
Manhattan. The claims involved are
the Mother Lode, Fido, Mustang, Or
leans, Buyo, Ida, Lottie, Little Grey,
War Eagle, Tiptop, April Fool, Moni-
tor, Cornishman, Frances, Adelaide,
Orphan, White Wildcat. Bogus, County
Commissioner and several fractions.
Mr.. Sim alleges in the complaint
that during the winter Of 1904-1905, Ed.
Saylor, one of the defendants, told him
of section of country covered with
ledges that he had prospected to some
extent and which he believed to contain
good values. Sim thereupon suggested
to Saylor that if he would send samples
Of said ledges and groupings to him
he would pay for the assaying of them
on condition that he have an equal
interest with Saylor in all locations

day and night the ponderous stamps
thunder down upon the rock, crushing
it to pulp that its golden treasure may
be released from centuries Of imprison-
ment and become factor in the up
building Of the state, and as soon as
one batch is treated another takes its
place. Sacks of $1,000 ore are piled
up in the drifts and at the surface like
bags of old junk, and the dump con-
tains $4,000 tons of mill rock of an aver
age grade of $25 per ton, total valua-
tion of about $625, 900. Later this is
likewise to go under the stamps, unless
it is purchased in bulk by the repre-
sentative Of Utah smelter, which now
seems likely.
On January 81, the last lease on Red
Top ground expires and in the future
no blocks will be rented. The company
will take up operations where the les
sees leave off. will start several new
crosscuts and connect the shaft with
the main workings by drift. Over
1000 feet Of development work has
been done by the renters and generous
bodies of mill rock of excellent grade
have been opened up at various points.
The company will explore these ledges
extensively and prospects favor the
finding of shipping values.

values of from 70 cents to $3.50, and
picked samples went $3.50. The prop
erty takes in most of what is known as
Porphyry Mountain, and has a good
ledge with values to start on, which is
better than sinking from 300 to 500 feet
through wash before encountering the
ledge.

$l5, 10000 will be distributed in charitable
requests.
In accordance with the will Of Sam
Lewis, who died In 1901. his whole fortune
was left to his widow for life, besides
which she was given outright $5,O00,0O0,
such of which presumably will go to her
second husband, Lieutenant Hill of the
Scots guards. Kings hospital fund comes
in for a large sum. Besides a specific
amount, 1926, 600, the hospital gets about
5000 out of the residue of the estate About
100000 goes to establishing dwellings
for the poor, the sum of $4,000 is
devoted to the relief work OF the
Jewish poor and Jewish hospitals and col
leges and $4,000 goes to other hospitals,
while number of other charities get good
legacies.
Lewis was the most famous man in Eng
land i'm his business. His transactions were
enormous and his clients were among the
highest personages in the land. He was
shrewd and hard, but absolutely honest.
He used to say his motto was Il lend to
the Lord snd give to the poor" and 1t is
now claimed that his princely requests
seem to prove the truth of his words.

NEW CHURCH FOR FRANCE
"League of Catholics of France"
Said to he Movement Against
Holy See.

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-(Special Cabegram to
The Bee.)--M. Henri des Houx's remarkable
League of Catholics of France" which
tends toward nothing short of an indie
pendent Gallican Catholic church, under
state guaranty, has issued a determined
proclamation, which declares boldly that
the Holy See has been circumvented by
political factions, to which the care of
souls is Indifferent" What are described
as "half-German, halfRoman intrigues"
are denounced as being designed to inter
rupt'', If not to suppress, public worship
In France, to turn the secular clergy out
of French parishes, to reduce the ancient
Catholic land of France to the level of
missionaries country, in order to hand over
to ambitious and grasping religious orders
a monopoly of private worship, which alone
Rome will recognize henceforth, and finally
TO convert the bishops of France into mere
apostolic Wears, such as are sent TO prose-
lytlze savages." The league goes on to ad-
vocate the immediate formation of associa-
lions of worship under the law of 1905,
which will claim possession of churches and
church property, and thereupon apply to
the bishops that priests be appointed, whom
the associations will pay.
