DECISION in
FAMOUS CASE
SUIT GREW OUT OF EARLY LEAS-
ING ON THE JUMBO
NINE.

Judge Harrington of the United
States District Court for the District
of Nevada, on Monday last handed
down a decision striking from the
calendar the suit of George F. Nc
Clelland against John McKane and
DR.. Edward Bowes. In dismissing
the action, Judge Harrington taxed
the plaintiff with the costs.
This was one of the famous suits
growing cut of the early day leasing
on the Jumbo mine of Goldfield. Nc
Kane and DR.. Bowes had lease No.
Z on the Jumbo, and took about a
quarter of a million dollars out of
it. Charles Taylor was then in con-
troll of the mine, but John McKane
was president as well as N of the
lessees. Lease No. I soon became a
producer and Taylor began to make
objections to McKane holding it, not
withstanding that the company was
receiving a royalty of % per cent
on every dollar that was taken out.
Taylor brought suit to have Nc
Kane and the board elected, but he
lost the suit. McKane had no de-
sire to hold on to the presidency
further than he feared that if he
let go the leases might be annulled.
Then Taylor, who was behind the
Mcclellan suit, declared that the
leases had been illegally made, and
several suits have been brought to
recover all the money that had been
taken out of the ground by the sew
eral l~essees.

been decided, and win probably END

INTERESTING TALK
ABOUT WONDER

The mining geography of Wonder
is undergoing a remarkable change"
was the assertion made by N. R. Fitz-
patrick, n of the discoveries of the
famous new camp, to a Reno Ga
zette reporter. Mr.. Fitzpatrick was
a visitor in Reno this week, and in an
interview talked interestingly of one
of the strange developments in the
camp which has been marked by re.
markable happenings during the M
year of its existence as a camp.
THE future scenes of great activ-
ity in the district, and the real cen
ter of the mineralized zone, lie far
to the west of the original discover
les in Wonder" said Mr.. Fitzpatrick
"and the mining geography of the
district is changing rapidly in recog-
milton of this fact. The result is that
the rush is now to acquire properties
in this new section.
"An examination of the map of
the Wonder district will show that
the Jackpot, on which the original
discovery was made. lies north of
the Wonder townsite. Near the
Jackpot is the Nevada Wonder, ona
of the great properties of the dis
trict, and in the vicinity of these twG
properties, all the ground has been
taken up.
1.-THE first departure from the
theory that the best properties in the
district were in the vicinity of the
Jackpot and Nevada Wonder was
made when the Spider-Wasp openet
up its big ore body, something like
three miles northwest of the Jack
pot. This discovery induced the corr
clusion that a great ledge system
~traversed the district, striking north
west and southeast, through the
properties named, remote though
they are from each other.
"Since the existence of this ledge
was proved up, sensational strikes
have been made on the Boulder, the
Gould No. 2 claim of the Ajax Won
der, in the Golden Wonder, the Rich
Gulch, the C~olorados, and the Black
Wasp. The Colorados, Rich Gulch,
Ajax and Golden Wonder properties
are contiguous. Southeast of them
lies the Boulder, and to the south is
the Black Rock.
"The first of these strikes was
made on the Colorados and the Boul-
der. Since that strike was made the
others have uncovered rich ore, and
their discoveries prove that there is
a second great ledge in the Wonder
district. The trend of this ledge
which t%raverses the properties of the
Jackpot, Nevada Wonder and Spider.

DEATH BECKONS
FRANK GILLESPIE
TYPICAL MINER AND PIONEER
PASSES TO THE GREAT
BEYOND.

Frank Gillespie, one of the best
known mining men in southern Ne
vada, died on Monday night after an
illness lasting not more than ten
days.
Mr.. Gillespie was a typical miner
of the old school, and had lived in
this southern country for twenty-five
years. He was the friend of Jim
Butler long before the discovery of
Tonopah, and Jim thought that there
was nobody in the world like him.
Honest and square in his dealings
with everybody, his word was his
bond. He was of a quiet and re
firing nature, but those who knew
him, loved him for his sterling quail
ties Of manhood.
The deceased was a native of Ire

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.
The PuzzIing Beeswax of the Beaches

OF all the secrets held by the flotsam
and jetsam of many years none is

sells from the orient had skirted the
coast. Bits of wreckage have told the
story Of Chinese junks gone to pieces
on the shore, but the most curious evil
dence of this eastern traffic has been
found on the Oregon coast south Of
the Columbia river. Mr.. Clarke gives
an account of this treasure trove in his
pioneer Days"
When Lewis and Clark made their
famous expedition they learned that
the native Indians of Oregon had for
many years found Jumps of beeswaX
on the sandy shores.
BeeswaX is practically indestructible
in water, but these pieces had pounded
in the surf until they were black and
battered almost beyond recognition.
In 1914 one Henry, engaged in the
fur trade wrote an account of finding
masses of this wax. The pieces We're
scattered over a wide stretch of coast
| and were now covered now uncovered,
by the blowing sand Some of the
Jumps were softened into all shapes
and sizes by the heat of the sun and
bleached nearly white. Others were
square and stamped with strange char
acterS.
In 1895 Mr.. Howell, walking on the
beach, saw something exposed in the
sand. 1t proved to be the corner of
some large squares of beeswax weigh
ing several tons. Many smaller blocks
were also found, all bearing the stamp
ed letters Il H s." Besides the squares
of wax, quantities of large candles
We're discovered. In looking up the
matter it was learned that as far back
as records ran these tapers had been
found with the wax on tSe shore
Of course the explanation may be
that some oriental ship bearing church
supplies for mission farther south
went to pieces on the Oregon coast
many, many years ago, but what
would a ship bound for Mexico or
South America be doing so far north,
and what use could any mission have

President Roosevelt has evidently
had political brain storm. 1t is re-
ported that he now advocates that
campaign funds be furnished by the
government. The scheme is charac-
teristically Rooseveltian, because it
breaks all presidents, defies all ar
gument and is feeler for popular
approval. He misses it by more
than mile. There is already too
much interference in elections by
the government. In fact, there are
too many excuses and too great an
effort to give federal control over
the people in all that they do or
have to do with. 1t is contrary to
our scheme of government. 1t takes
it away from the representative form
and almost destroys every vestige of
a democracy, of self government.
So revolutionary and so extraordl-
nary is Roosevelt's proposition that
it will surely provoke an endless
amount of discussion, and it will
probably be received with considera-
Die ridicule.

LITERARY IMPOSTORS.
Many Clever Writers Who Have De-
ceived the World.

Many Clever Writers Who Have De-
ceiVed the World.
Clever literary impostors who have
deceived the world are numerous.
Gamclli Carrieri, a Neapolitan gentle.
man and scholar, while confined to his
room for long period of years by i'll.
ness amused himself by writing an ac-
count of an imaginary voyage round
the world. When the volume was pub
lished, 1t was taken as a fact even by
learned people.
The detailed account of a trip to
China which is credited to Du Haldc
is another literary hoax. The author
had never seen China and had been
sufficiently clever to compile the work
solely from the memoirs of Chinese
missionaries.
1t is remarkable, though no less q
fact, that "Gullivers Travels" was
thought to be a true narrative when it
first appeared, and the famous story Of
Dambergers travels was likewise a
hoax.
Narillas, the French historian, enjoy
ed wide reputation as a chronicler of
events but later it was discovered that
his works were purely fakes. The vol
umes Of this writer resemble those of
Gregorlo Reti, who, in order to keep
himself from starving appended the
most unheard of Incidents to English
history as it was known.
One of the most daring impostures
on record is that Of Joseph Vella Of
Sicily. He said that he discovered sew
enteen of the lost books of Livy in
Arabic. He then set to work and
wrote a translation from his fancy,
which was printed After his death
the fraud was discovered Before his
death. however, he fell under suspi-
cion and was condemned to imprlson-
ment.
There are countless cases of authors
selling their names to be put on works
they have never read Sir John Hill
once contracted to translate a Dutch
book. After the agreement he remem-
bered that he did not know word of
Dutch. He then bargained with an
other translator to do the work for
half the price he was to receive.

POOR SUBJECT
FOR LAUGHTER

Dispatches from London say that
Europe has had only laughter for
Carnegie's Peace Conference in New
York. If this be true, Europe has
been INDUCING in very tragical
mirth.
An honest and worthy effort to
arouse public sentiment against war
is the last thing in this world to be
laughed at. If one is convinced that
man is only the highest order of ami
NAL and that it is the nature of the
beast to fight, then laughter may be
in order. Ii there were nothing
spiritual in man and he could only
rise to heights which are attainable
by the most highly developed ami
NAL then it would seem farcical to
make any appeal to him except such
as we would Lake to the descendants
of apes.
So long as the men who mould the
opinion of the world believe that
war is either necessary evil or that
without periodical killings we should
all become "molly-coddles" or "milk-
sops," wars will continue.
Until the statesmen of country,
enforced by a powerful section of its
press, cease to foster the idea that
manifest destiny" requires war be-
tween that country and some other
nation, war will be the inevitable re-
suit as soon as the masses in either
country are worked up to the requis-
ite pitch of frenzy and hatred. But
these are not matters to be laughed
at.
Mr.. Carnegie's purpose is to make
an effort to convince all who are con-
cerned that war is not the wisest
way to settle differences. He de-
sires to get the nations represented
ut the approaching Hague confer
ence to add little more to the scope
of arbitration; to agree to discuss
the issues which involve war a little
longer before deciding to draw the
sword. What is there to laugh at in
this program ? 1t should be COM
mended by all. Ought man to grin
when another proposes to prevent
murder? When Europe, or any other
country, giggles over an honest eff
fort to save human life, it must be
hard pressed for something to laugh
over.

A bronze equestrian statue of Gen.
John B. Gordon is TO be erected in

In erecting this statue Georgians
will homo" one of their most dis

Confederate army in 1851 as captain,
Gordon fought with such ardor, in
teliigence, vigor and success that he
rose to the rank of Acknowledgement
and commanded one wing of General
Lees army at AppomatoX. 1t was
he who in March 1865, with two
brigades of his corps, attacked at
night Grants lines and captured a
half mile of breastWorks. including
Fort Steadman and several batteries
to the right and left-a most remark
able exploit. On the morning of
May 8 Gordon's corps made an as
sauItup0n the Federals, capturing a
battery and a number of prisoners,
not knowing that Lee had surren-
dered. The Georgians were in line
of battle when the surrender was an
nounced. After the civil war Gen
Gordon returned to the practice of
law. In 1868 he was elected COVER
nor of Georgia, but General Meade
gave the office to Bullock. From
1873 to 1880 he was member of the
United States Senate, retiring in the
latter year to construct the Georgia
Pacific railway, in which he was
much interested. From 1887 to 1890
he was governor of Georgia, and
from 1891 to 1897 he was again in the
