WANT TO JOIN NEVADA

The Inyo County Register has de-
clared in favor of the eastern Sierra
counties in California being added 70
the state of Nevada. For several
months this matter has been occa-
~sionally referred to by the newspapers
in Mono, Inyo and other counties that
lie mainly on the eastern slope of the
great range, but the Register is the
first paper to openly advocate such a
step. 1t qualities it's declaration, how
ever, by saying that it favors annexa-
ton to the state of Nevada only as a
means of defeating the scheme of the
city of Los Angeles to take the waters
of the Owens river for her own water
supply. The Register says in part:
cit is claimed, with legal backing,
too, that if this were now Nevada ter
ritory the waters of our streams could
not be taken to Los Angeles. Better
Inyo county, Nevada, with its natural
esource used for its W good, than
Inyo county, California, robbed of its
richest possessions; better the recogni-
ton Nevada would give us than a silent
partnership in even imperial Californil l,
when the main attention to US is spoila-
ton by a more powerful associate. If
annexation to Nevada will protect
Inyo, we waive all objections on other
grounds

JOHN A. KIRBY HOME.
Says Southern Nevada Camps Are
Prosperous.

John A. Kirby reached Salt Lake yes
terday from the mining camps of SOUTH
ern Nevada, where he has been on busi-
ness for the past few weeks
Mr. Kirby IL well known in Salt Lake
mining engineering circles. and his
opinion on matters pertaining TO min,
ing carries considerable weight
Mr. Kirby stated yesterday that he
found Greenwater all that IL had been
represented TO be as far as surface
he was denied access TO some of those
properties under development, did not
create the very best impression.
The Echo district In California was
also visited by Mr.. Kirby, who gives II
as his opinion that the showings there
exposed are among the greatest In the
country He visited the property OF the
lnyo Gold Mining company, which he
believes has only to open up the great
ledge which Is plainly visible on the
surface for a mile or more, to begin
shipping class of one that will mean
wealth for everybody In the company.
Rhyolite, Fairyiew and Goldheld are
all showing In the general prosperity,
and although IL is almost inevitable
that a slump should occur eventually,
there Is no evidence Of anything OF the
kind now New lodges are being
opened almost daily and mines of un-
told riches are springing into promi-
hence almost as rapidly. Buildings OF
all kinds are going up as fast as men
can do the work, the activity IN this
line being limited only by the scarcity

Important Mining Litigation Com
menced in District Court
At TooeIe Today.
TREspAss IS ALLEGED.
Defendant Charged With Having Elk.
tracted 5000, 900 Worth OF Ore
Unlawfully.

What will probably prove to be the
most important mining litigation IN
which Tooele county property is in
yolyed In the history OF the country,
was commenced today at Tooele
city, when the case of the Katherine
Mining company and Charles Il. Mitch
ner, lessee against the Honerine Min
ing &Milllng company was filed.
According to the complaint the de-
PENDANT company has been trespassing
upon and in the property OF the plain
tiff and IL charged with having ex-
tracted ore therefrom to the value Of
100000.
IL Is more specifically alleged in the
complaint that the Honerine Mining x
Milling company has been engaged In
mining the premises TO the westward
Of the Katherine mining claim and that
In the process OF such mining opera
lions 1t and its agents and employees
have extended various underground
shafts and tunnels, and that by means
Of said shafts and tunnels they have
penetrated to and upon and within the
surface of the Katherine vein. That
as these plaintiffs are Informed and be-
lieve and allcge on information and be.
Nel shlu ue1endant mas constantly anu
persistently for the last three years
been engaged in entering upon said
Katherine vein and has extracted ore
therefrom unlawfully.
1t is alleged that the said trespasses
were intentional and wilful and un-
der the laws the plaintiffs are entitled
to treble the amount Of injury done.
Wherefore the plaintiffs pray for judg-
ment In the sum of 100000 and for
costs OF suit. The court Is also asked
to cnjoin the defendant from further
committing acts of trespass pending the
settlement of the controversy.
The Katherine Mining company is
controlled by j. p. Mitchner OF this
city and associates and owns some of
the Oldest locations in the Rush valley,
or Stockton. district. The attorneys for
the plaintiffs are Arthur Brown and

A shipment is being prepared for

and provisions sufficient to last four
men some months.
Mr. Lawrence will follow the outfit
Just as soon as 1t IS made UP and at
Mill City will gather his men and pro-
coed into the Rosebut district. Here
the party will prospect steadily as long
as the weather permits, filing on such
property as may look good to them.
Mr.. Lawrence has already been in the
field and while nothing definite is
known It IL not at all unlikely that he
has something good In sight at this
time.
Pohattan, which seems 10 be the
metropolis of the district is now swarm
ing with prospectors and miners and
on every hand rumors OF the immense
mineral wealth of the district are TO
be heard. Owning his own outfit Will
give Mr. Lawrence great advantage
over those who are forced to depend
on local transportation facilities. and
much Is expected from the trip in the
way of new holdings.
