New Mining Exchange
Fires Opening Gun
Rivalry Between Two Boards in Regard
to Wire Facilities Comes to Fore

War is already on between the newly
organized San Francisco Mining Ex-
change and the San Francisco Stock
and Exchange Board. The first gun
has been fired by the first-named or
ganization. A committee of the San
Francisco Mining Exchange called on
superintendent Jaynes of the Western
Union Telegraph Company yesterday
and asked for direct service to South
ern Nevada camps and also for an
operator in the new board room.
This committee subsequently re-
ported to the officers and members of
the new Mining Exchange that Su-
perintendent Jsynes said that he was
unable to furnish the desired facilities
under existing conditions. Then Wal
ter Turnbull, president of the San
Francisco Mining Exchange. sent a long
dispatch to>the general manager of the
w estern Union Telegraph Company at
New York, the text OF which was as
follows:
The San Francisco Mining Exchange, con-
sisting Of many prominent clearing house banks,
slso members Of the San Francisco Stock and
Bond Exchange. which is the principal financial
institution here; also the San Francisco and
Tonopah Mining Exchange. all recently amalga-
mated require direct service from Southern
Nevada mining centers. superintendent Jaynes
refuses accommodation. although according
onr Iso members. he even refuses us an oper-
ator for our board room. Do you countenance
this discrimination?
Possibly the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board win make rejoinder
10 this At all events, the rivalry of
the two San Francisco mining ex-
changes is clearly revealed by the pro-
ceedings of yesterday.
Eastern holders OF Southern Nevada
mining stocks threw them into the
market yesterday causing additional
declines in prices. Goldheld Consoli-
dated Mines sold on the curb low
as ss in this city. In the board sales
the prices varied from ss.129 to $3.50
during the forenoon and sS.37A to
sS25 in the afternoon. Jumbo Exten-
sion, Lone Star, Mayfiower Consoli-
dated Mohawk Consolidated Leasing,
Mohawk Extension and Pine Nut
stiffened a little in the selling. Blue
Bell, Blue Bull, Combination Fraction,
Daisy, Great Bend, Hibernia, Jim But
Ter, Red Top Extension, Red Top Frac-
ton, Silver Pick, st. Ives and other
stocks weakened.

PUBLICATION Of LETTER
WAS OPPOSED BY TAYLOR
Evidence in First Day of
Criminal Libel Suit
Favors Sheriff

After many continuances the suit
brought by Assessor P. II. Cochrane
against Sheriff W. P. Taylor of Marin
County, charging the latter with crimi-
nal libel, was opened yesterday before
Judge Cabaniss. P. II. Cochrane based
statement made by Taylor in a letter
addressed to M. F. Cochrane, in which
Pat" Cochrane was accused of having
handled jury bribe money.
The evidence given yesterday by
Deputy Sheriffs Z. G. Lichtenberg and
p. Crane and Correspondent II. de la
Montanya tended to establish the fact
that Taylor had bitterly opposed the
publication of the alleged libelous
letter.
At this point Judge Cabaniss an
nounced that, as a lack of intent to
commit crime was apparent. he could
not agree that Sheriff Taylor was liable
to a criminal charge Attorney Thomas
OCcnnor, for Pat" Cochrane. argued to
the contrary. and was supported by
Attorney j. W. Cochrane, brother of
the principal complaining witness. In
a passage at arms between O'Connor
and the Judge the former thanked the
court for a compliment and ended by
saying:
Il am indeed so poor lawyer that
sometimes even the learned Judge
agrees with me-
The case was continued until today
at o'clock, when the attorneys en-
gagged will argue at length as 70
whether or not Taylor was criminally
liable in the publication of letter
which was given to the press without
his knowledge.
