Forty-seven miles out from Cananea on the Nogales road it looks very much as if Cananea people have ex- celelnt prospects for making another big mining camp in Sonora Colonel w. c. Greene has taken important hand in the locality in the last week, and where Mir. Greene goes activity is always along in generous proportion. The fact that he has gone into the new country means at the least that it will be thoroughly prospected. If there are commercial values in the section they will be found and their days of likeness ended. Mir. Greene visited the section a couple of weeks ago and following later examination which he made thought sufficiently well of the ground to enter denounce- ments covering a couple thousand per teuencias. These Announcements sur round properties held by Dr. Carpen ter, Messrs. Young, Bordwell, Cook and others of this city, OF which they have done considerable development and secured very encouraging results.
 Colonel W. c. Greene returned to the city Wednesday evening from q visit to Greene Gold-Silver properties In the Sierra Madres, remaining here until yesterday, when he returned to Chihuahua. Thursday evening he was tenedered q serenade by the municipal band and received she felicitations of many, evidencing the warm regard that is shown him on all sides in the camp whenever he comes.

The long-standing dispute between
Douglas and Lyon counties has come
to critical stage, due to the action
OF the taxpayers in refusing to pay
tier taxes until something definite
can be learned throwing light on the
question as 70 what county they be-
longto.
The conIrOversary has for its basis
the fact that within ten mile of the
real boundary line between these
counties tiiere are several very rich
districts, such as the cities OF Smith
Na:Sy, BucKskin, Wellington, and
the Ludwig and Bluestone mining
properties, all OF which furnish rev.
enue in large measures for what

There are three recorded surveys

HumoriSrS May

week after which they will depart by
special train for GOldfield where they
will be the guests of the Gold6eld

An effort is being made to have

that the Sagebrush Club will take the
matter up and act as their host while
they remain in this city.
They are a great bunch of fellows
and represent practically every pap

than in any other way that could
be imagined and it is to be hoped
that they will pay Carson City a
visit on their way home.

TWAIN REMEMBERS STEVE
GICllS

Steve Gillis, the sage of Jackass
Hill, was much gratified lately to re-
ceive a present from his old-time
friend, Mark Twain, in the shape of
twenty-five handsomely bound vol
umes of the great humorist's works.
What makes the present immensely
valuable to Mr.. Gills is the fact that
in every book Mark has placed his
autograph, preceded by the affection
ate words, ITO Steve Gillis, with
the unabated love of his oldest
friend" This should prove what un-

Today the arguments were submit

famous mining case commonly known
as the Manhattan Dexter suit, which
involves properties in the Manhattan
district valued at half a million.
The question is one of validity of
location and the plaintiff A. D.

won his suit in the lower court where
decision was made in his favor by
Judge O'Brien. The defendant ap-

The plaintiff is represented by

The main issue of the case hinges
on the decision by the supreme court

STOPS THE GAME

Among the concessiOnaireS OF the
State fair grounds at Reno, there was
ring and cane game in operation
yesterday morning, when the fair
opened, which is not there now.
Under the enabling act there is a
provision which makes it illegal for
such concessions to be granted, and
Sheriff Ferrell, acting on legal advice
promptly closed the game.
The far committee offered to give
the man back his money, collected
for the concession, but he refused it,

worth $1,000.

A sneak thei1' also entered the
