TAX RATE INCREASE
  Borough Meeting of West Haven Raises It a
 Half Mill. TO POLICE THE SHORE Resolution Requiring That Side walks be Kept Clear
 of Snow.
TO POLICE THE SHORE

The adjourned annual borough meeting was held in town hall, West Haven, last evening, Judge Samuel q. Bryant was elected chairman in the absence of Warden Merwin. Clifford F. Smith was clerk
 James B, Smith moved that the tax rate be fixed at three and one-half mills, an increase of one-half a mill over the past year, as the borough would probably have to pay about $2,- 500 for policing Savin Rock, which is now unprotected
 c. K. Bush, town prosecuting attor- ney, said the outcome of the suit on the injunction obtained by David Platt restraining the town of Orange from policing the shore, was doubtful, and it would therefore be wise for the borough to be prepared to do such policing.
 The three and one-half mill tax was voted
 A resolution was adopted requesting the board of warden and burgesses to appoint committee consisting of the warden, two burgesses, the first select man of Orange and two citizens to investigate park sites and their pur- chase cost and report to the borough.
 The borough board was recom- mended to pass a resolution requiring property owners to keep their side walks clear from snow.
 There was number of speeches made on all these motions, but all were favorable to the projects, and no opposition developed.
 The borough board was empowered to borrow money.
 After the meeting the warden and burgesses held an executive session, This was the last meeting of this board

old PROSPECTOR
LOSES HIS life
SUCCUMBS TO EXPOSURE WHILE
ATTEMPTING TO REACH
MANHATTAN.

That the terrific blizzard which
has reigned supreme during Sunday
and Monday claimed at least one vic
tim became known yesterday morn
ing, when the information reached
this city that a man by the name
of Henderson had succumbed to the
exposure resultant from an attempt
to cross to Manhattan from a point
about thirty-five miles distant from
that point.
Henderson and two companions
started on Sunday afternoon to walk
to Manhattan. At the time ii was
showing, but there was no indica-
ton of the terrible storm which was
to come. When several miles from
the starting point the storm reached
its height, and for several hours the
men struggled on, fighting against
the elements in the hope that a
haven of rest would be reached. Be-
fore that time, however. Henderson
became exhausted, and was unable to
proceed farther. His companions,
who wer themselves nearly worm
out with their tramp over the desert
in the binding storm. were unable
to render any efficient assistance, and
in a short time their companion was
dead.
After untold suffering the two men
reached Manhattan late Monday
night and told of their experiences
and men went out to recover the
remains OF the unfortunate and bring
them to Manhattan.
Henderson was a man somewhat
advanced in years, and a native OF
Canada, where his family resides,
He had been in this section of the
country for several years, having
operated in the Goldfield, Tonopah
and Manhattan sections.

FAMOUS LAW
SUIT DECIDED
DECISION ON LITIGATION HILL
CONTROVERSY IN FAVOR
OF PLAINTIFFS.

After considerable delay a decision
has just been handed down by Judge
Breen in the famous Litigation Hill
case. Without question the decision
is one of the most important ever
rendered in this state, involving as it
does, some of the most valuable
property in the Manhattan district.
The decision is in favor of the plain
tiffs, w. S. Johnson and A. d. Nash.
and covers two separate cases, but
identical in their nature. Judge
Breen's opinion was of considerable
length and treated fully with the
various phases of the controversy.
The ablest lawyers of the state were
arrayed against each other in the
legal struggle and every inch was
bitterly contested. Owing to the
many complications the case was
necessarily slow. In the case of w.
S. Johnson VS.. Dan Mcnamara ct al,
the plaintiffs interests were looked
after by Cheney. Massey & Smith, P.
M. Bowder, Jr., and NJ. S. Bonni-
field, while Messrs Forman and Glib
bons represented the defendants.
These same attorneys represented the
defendants, Dan Mcnamara ct al, in
the Nash case, while Mr.. Nash's side
was taken are of by Campbell, Met
son & Brown, Key Pittman and
George A. Bartlett. The property in
volved consists of several acres ~
ing between the Earl and Liberty
claims at Manhattan. The decision
is far-reaching in its effect and the
case is one that has aroused uni
versal attention.

FRANCES king
TO START WORK

The Frances King Mining Com
pany, backed by local and Eastern
capitalists, is among the latest to
enter the field for operation, and
from the plans that have been al
ready been mapped out, it is evil
dent that the company will start i'm
mediate and active development
work.
The new company has a capitali-
cation of $1,000 900, divided into an
equal number of shares with a par
value of 81 each. Four hundred
thousand shares have been allotted
to the treasury and the moneys de-
rived from the sale of the latter will
be used to develop the property.
The following officers have been
elected for the ensuing year: c. l..
Jeffries, president; Ward /. Nicholas,
secretary; E. S. Harvey, treasurer.
The holdings of the Frances King
comprise the Good Hope group, con-
sisting of five claims. The property
is located in the eastern part of
the Goldfield district and is a very
close neighbor to the Rochester,
Pennsylvania and other promising
properties.
Extensive surface work has been
done on all of the claims and sew
eral strong lodges have been opened
up that give promise of developing
into producers. The values as yet
do not carry very high, but the man.
agement is satisfied that when the
present plan of development work
is carried out mineral will be found
in paying quantities. Development
work will be commenced in the very
near future.-Goldfeld Review.

BUSINESS MAN. REFLECT!

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself has said,
MY trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch adj"
If sure therebe. go mark him we'll
For him no bank account shall swell;
No angel watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
BY local line or ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let MIN live in calm repose.
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him deep
That naught may break his dream
less sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise

Word was received yesterday to
the effect that the big mill and power
plant at Millers had been forced to
shut down owing to the absence of
fuel. The Tonopah Mining Company
is now using power from the Nevada

For some time considerable difficulty
has been experienced at Millers on
account of the fuel condition and the
power plant was able to get along.

hausted.
