A Yerington dispatch says: Much

SUIT BROUGHT
AGAINST OPHlR
COMPANY
LITIGATION IN ONE OF OLDEST
DISTRICTS IN NEVADA UN-
DER THE APEX LAW.
FORTY YEARS IS A LONG TIME
One Would Naturally Suppose That
The Old C0mstock Had Set
tied Down.

One of the largest damage suits
ever filed in Nevada was that institut-
ed in the federal court at Carson
when the Comstock Golden Gate Min
ing company, of Virginia City,
brought suit for 100000 damages
against the Ophir Silver Mining COM
pany. The complaint states that one
half of the sum asked, $2,000,000, is
other 100000 is for damages. The
suit Is based upon the apex law.
The allegations state that the Col
den Gate company owns six and six
teen-hundredths acres of ground adj
joining the Ophir and Con. Virginia
ground and that for the three years
past, the two defendant companies
have been extracting ore from the
property unlawfully. Within the
three years, according to the COM
plant, ore to the amount of $4,000
900 has been extracted. The ore be-
ing silver and gold, and mostly high
grade.
The complaint says that on the
fraction owned by the Golden Gate
company there is we'll defined ledge
rich in gold and silver. The ledge
can be traced for distance of 971
feet on the surface of the ground and
that it extends downward in an al
most perpendicular course but yet
the ledge likely overlaps the bound
airy lines of the fraction held by the
company. The Ophir and Con. Vir-
ginia companies were warned not to
take ore from the disputed ground,
but in spite of these warnings con-
tinued to mine the ledge which
apexed on the Golden Gate and dur
ing the three years just completed
took out a total of at least two mil
lions. The complainant asks for this
amount and damages, making the
total claim $4,000,000.
The Comstock Golden Gate Mining
company is Nevada corporation and
the papers were filed at the Office of
the secretary of state on June 9th,
1907. Four days afterwards it ap-
pears, the company came into posses
sion of the fractional claim upon
which the present suit is based, the
former owner deciding 1t to the COM
pany. The incorporators of the COM
pany were all San Francisco men and
were as follows: f. A. Huntington,
500 shares; George r. Fletcher, 100
shares; d. M. Kent, 1000 shares; r.
Hewson, $4,000 shares, and J. r.
Sloan, 500 shares.

During his absence Mr.. Williams
went carefully over the Ely Witch
and left impressed with the fact that
the ground was going to meet every
expectation. At the present time a
cross-cut is being driven from the
3O0-foot level in the shaft and ore
should be encountered almost any
day.
The While Pine Lead company, Mr.
Williams states, is looking well.
Shipments have been commenced and
during the season a considerable
quantity will be sent out the forty
miles to the railroad. The ore OF
this property runs around 60 pei
cent lead and from 10 to 20 ounces
silver per ton.

DEVELOP THE CLAIM.
THE WORK OF A LANDSLIDE

trict Looking We'll.

1t is reported in Elko upon good
authority that the Big Four mine,
which was discovered early last April
as the result of a land slide, has been
sold to Salt Lake and Denver capital
lists for $4,000.
The story of he discovery of this
mine is quite interesting. The min
ers who located the property had
nearly given up all hope of finding
a claim and were about to leave the
district when landslide occurred
and destroyed their camp.
They were disheartened but
thought they might be able to Sc
cure some of their buried property,
and going to the site of their former
camp to dig for their buried articles
they were amazed to find that the
landslide had uncovered large rich
ledge. They Immediately prospected
the ledge and located the Big Four
mine.
The new owners of the property
have already placed force of men
at work on large scale.
Riddle Brothers have bonded the
Big Luck property for $4,000. They
expect to find the source of the sew
enty-pound boulder recently uncov-
cred which carried values running as
high as $4,000 per ton.

returned last evening to Goldfield
where he will remain until after the
completion of the line into that city
The headquarters of the Las Vegas
& Tonopah railroad will be in Los
Angeles, but the main branch office
will be in Goldfield. Mr.. Whittemore
is now arranging for the right OF
way of the road into Goldfield and
on to Tonopah.
1.-The development of the mines at
Goldfield in the past month or two,
said Mr.. Whittemore. ENSURES fol
that city a population that will make
it the metropolis of Nevada. The
outlook for Goldfield's future is
brighter now than at any time in its
history.
With the completion of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railroad into Gold
field next fall will come a large in
crease in the population of the city
and an element of permanency that
the mining camp of a few months
ago lacked. By August 1st the rail
road will be completed into Gold
Mountain, which is halfway between
Rhyolite and Goldfield. The materials
are all on the ground and the work
is being pushed as rapidly as possible
A mile of track is being laid each
day. Barring any unforeseen delay
the road will be completed into Gold
field by September 18th.
I'VE intend to proceed with the
construction work on from Goldfield
to Tonopah without delay Already
two branch lines are contemplated
and within a short time we will have
transportation connections with all
the important camps in that section
of Nevada"

aid.
1.-The expert came here for the
purpose of examining the property
for Mr.. Curd, and was highly pleased
with what he saw. He made thor
ough inspection of couple of mines
owned at Black Mountain by Mr.
Curd, sampling them and bringing
to town large amount of rock,
which he took with him to San Fran
cisco for tests.
For some time Mr.. Curd has qui-
city been doing considerable work
on the two claims at Black Mountain
and has driven a couple of tunnels.
One of these tunnels cuts the ledge
on one Of the properties at a depth
of eighteen feet and shows a well
defined vein of ore at that depth av-
eraging twenty-five feet thick. On
the other property lesser amount
of work has been done, but the show
ing is just as good as in the former.
1.-The least assay that has been re-
ceived from the big vein shows 1921
per cent lead, some silver and trace
of gold. The expert who examined
the properties, while being very con-
servative, expressed great satisfac-
ton with his visit and believed that
Black Mountain will very soon come
to the front as renowned producer
of the precious metals"
Aura is another camp that gives
great promise to the worthy and the
industrious. Aura is making quite
a stir in the mining world.

Eastern advices over the consump-
ton of copper are very conflicting,
but some reliable information is to
the effect that the big producers are
getting more for the product than
the market quoted prices indicate.
In some instances it is shown that
the price being paid is from / to "
cents a pound higher than the pub
lished prices, and it is said that the
small consumers often find that they
are compelled to pay much higher
price than this. The small produce
ers are beginning to demonstrate
