Loot in Stock Dealings-Attorney GEN.
eral Stead of Illinois Fears the Pr
Prosecuted by His State-StockhoId
ers Must Make Their Own Fight.

Springfield, Ill, April 9-Attorney
General Stead, in an opinion submit
Ted to Governor Deneen, expresses
doubt as to whether it is the province
of the state of Illinois TO proceed
against E. H. Hartman and his asso-
ciates for the alleged manipulation of
the Chicago & Alton railroad proper
ties. If the state should revoke the
company's charter the loss would fall
on the stockholders, the Hartman peo-
pie already having disposed of large
portion of their holdings. The attor-
ney general concludes, therefore, that
the best plan would be for the COM
pany itself to seek a remedy for the
situation, or even for one or more
stockholders TO act.
At the same time Mr.. Stead assures
the governor that should he become
convinced on further investigation that
the state can relieve the roads condi-
ton, he will take the necessary steps
at once. Notwithstanding his convic-
tons as to the wisdom of immediate
action, Mr.. Stead insists there is not
the least doubt that a civil remedy ex-
lists against the "flnanciers who have
wrecked this prosperous railroad com
pany, and, at the expense of innocent
stockholders and bondholders, have
gathered to themselves a harvest Of
millions of dollars"

GOLDF|ELD OFFICERS
SEIZE HIGH GRADE ORE
Fifteen Sacks, Valued at $780,
900, Alleged to Be From the
Mohawk, Represents Booty

Fifteen sacks of high-grade ore,
which, it is claimed, came out of the
Mohawk mine, were driven up to the
doors of the State Bank and Trust
Company, after banking hours yes
terday afternoon, and deposited in
the vaults of the institution.
The wagon was accompanied by a
number of deputy sheriffs, and what
looked to the ordinary passerby as an
ordinary transaction was really, a
very extraordinary proceeding. The
ore was taken from the cellar of
William X. Wise, and it is claimed
was "high-grade" from the famous
Mohawk last fall, when the mine was
yielding tons of its richest product.
G. A. Gage, a deputy sheriff of
Goldfeld, and deputy United States
marshal, came over from Goldfield
yesterday, armed with an afIidavit
and an undertaking to the effect that
certain sacks of ore were concealed
in the basement of the Wise resi-
denee. On this showing a search
warrant was issued by Judge Bris-
sell and Deputy Sheriff Logan was
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-05-11

sent with Deputy Gage to the resi-
dence, where the treasure trove was
unearthed.
The sacks of ore, said to be worth
100000, or more, were taken to the
court, and Judge Brissell made an
order that they be sealed and placed
in the State Bank, until further re-
quired by him, which was done.
Attorney Green, of the firm of
Campbell, Metson and Brown, has
been retained to prosecute the case,
and 1t is understood that Mr.. Wise
has engaged some of the most emf
nent counsel in the city to defend
his right to the ore. 1t will be
hotly contested case, and will prob
ably be made test of by the assay
ers and purchasers of high-grade.
There are any number of similar
cases now before the courts, and
Wise, himself, has one or two on
actions in replevin.
What steps will be taken this
morning will lie with the prosecu-
tion, which claims that the ore was
surreptiously taken from the Mo-
hawk.

One of the Greatest Strikes
in the History of Tonopah
Made Wednesday : Large
Body of High-Grade Ore Is
Opened Up on the 300
Foot Level--Believed to Be
Famous Macdonald Ledge
of the Montana Tonopah--
Strike Emphasizes Perna-
nency of Ore Bodies of the
Camp.

One of the most important strikes
ever made in camp has been un-
covered in the Midway mine, on the
S00-foot level.
II is perhaps the most important
strike that has ever been made. here
for various reasons. In the first
place 1t is the biggest strike which
has ever been made at so great
depth. proving indisputably the per-
manency of the Tonopah ore bodies,
If there had been any doubt on this
head Finally. the strike leaves no
further doubt of the extension of
the ore bodies into the west, or what
is known as the undiscovered coun-
try.
The strike was made on the 500
foot level of the Midway, and it is
Presumed that the Midway has the
famous Macdonald ledge of the Mon
tana- Tonopah Assays have been
taken which go high in fancy pic
lures; but the main values are in
what is termed most satisfactory

The Midway lost its productive
ledge through a fault, it having
broken away toward the Montana
Tonopah. to the east, and close to
the line of the Montana -Tonopah
There was no little money spent by
the company in trying to pick up the
lost vein, and sinking was kept up
until when, last year, they were
forced to abandon the work owing
to the lack of fuel
On the same level of the Montana
Tonopah, and further to the east,
there was big ore body uncovered,
which is on the upper workings of
