MMENI I
Of PARKER
BELIEVES WRIGHT'S DECISION
WILL BE REVIEWED ~ HIGH.
ER NATURALIZATION Has
SOME STRONG REMARKS.

NEW YORK. Dec 20. Comment
ing on the sentence imposed yester
day by Justice Wright against the Of
fieers of The American Federation oI
Labor. IN the contempt proceedings
growing out OF the suit of the Buck
Stove and Range Co, former Judge
Alton h. Parker OF counsel for the
federal officers. today declared that
the decision would be subject TO re-
view by a higher tribunal aud that he
believed the speaking and writing
which Justice Wright holds consti-
tutes contempt OF court. cannot be
prevented. either By statute or judi
eial decree.
The constitution OF every state
said Mr. Parker provides in effect
that every citizen may freely speak,
write and publish his sentiments on
all subjects. being responsible for the
abuse of that right and that no Law
should be passed 10 restrain or

the order can be so construed as TO
prevent respectful editorial comment
upon the scope OF the decree, or to
prevent free discussion of IL, and
an expression of opinion that il does
not seek 10 prevent such discussion,
in such event. II offenders against the
constitution then so much of II as
attempts 10 do so is void
1T has been urged that even II the
court in violation of the constitution
does make an order prohibiting

paper from publishing an editorial on
the same subject. the party enJoin-
ing must nevertheless obey the de
cree. II he does not, the ,onrt MAY

10 make the order. But certainly
that which the constitution prohibits,
the court may not do any more than
the legislature. The unconstitutional
statute need not De obeyeu, and SO
the courts have held time and again. |
II would seem 10 follow that a de-
cree OF a court offending against the

will be guilty OF the absnrdity OF

BIG VALUES ARE
FOUND IN sTRINGERS

The Florence Goldfeld Red King
Claim Leasing company, operating a
lease formerly known as the Gatzen, is
crosscutting and drifting on the 45O
level. The company recently installed
a fifty-horsc power electric hoist, which
enables more rapid work than the
former equipment. Two air drills are
also employed.
On the $50 level two veins are being
explored, one five and the other six
feet in width. In the latter are some
splendid stringers, one yielding as high
as $50S to the ton. This seam is fol
lowed with expectation that it will
widen and become merchantable COM
modify. A winze and a raise will be
run on this ledge.
Robert Capelle, of San Francisco, who
is financing the lease, is in Goldfield,
inspecting the situation, and seems very
much encouraged over the appearance
of the workings, indications pointing
strongly to ore, he thinks.

CONSOLIDATED RED TOP
IS CANDIDATE FOR HONoRs

1t was determined by work on the
150-foot level that the Consolidated
Lease company, which has leasehold
ON two-fifth of the Red Top claim, is
on top of big body of ore, how big,
time alone can give information. The
assays ran from milling grade up to
1913.
This company, which is controlled by
John Donnellan g. Co., is now cross
cutting to pick up the ledge on the 225
level. 1t is estimated that the pay
shoot is 125 feet from the shaft. One
hundred and twenty feet of this dis
tance has already been traversed
Within the next few days important de-
velopments are expected to take place
in this long-term leasehold. The values
yesterday in wall matter ran as high
as $50. If the pay shoot is found here
there is assurance of at least l25 feet
Of backs.

EXPECTING BIG THINGS ON
THE GIBRALTAR LEASE

Work of sinking to the 500foot point
is progressing satisfactorily on the
Gibraltar lease on Combination No. B;
the shaft is now down $40 feet.
The Gibraltar was bothered by water
some days ago; the shaft was the deep
est in the vicinity and seemed to be
draining the other shafts. The Mitchell
Fairfield on the south and the Moore on
the north are both getting water now,
and relieving the Gibraltar from the
entire flow. All the leasers surround
ing the Gibraltar, on the west and south
base of the Little Florence hill, are in
a very expectant frame of mind, nova
days. Everyone seems to think that
this is the section that will produce the
next sensation, and all the lcascrs are
working under suppressed enthusiasm.

HAZEL GOLDFIELD co.
WILL GO TO THE 700

No expense is being spared by the
Hazel Goldfeld Mining company to get
results in it's lease on the Laguna.
Manager Fink reports that the shaft
has attained depth of 450 feet and a
station is being cut. A contract has
been let to sink another hundred feet
at once, working three shifts with air
drills and complete pumping outfit.
Several stringers have been encoun-
tered recently, but the company will do
no lateral work until the 700-foot point
has been reached, unless large ore
body is encountered in the shaft. The
lease has still ten months to live.
"'Corn King Phillips of Chicago is
one of the principal shareholders in the
company. The Hazel-Goldfeld also
owns the Berenice Fraction. Several
miners are employed there at present on
surface development.

DAISY PREPARING FOR
BIG RUN OF ORE

DAISY PREPARING FOR
BIG RUN OF ORE
During the past few weeks the Gold
field Daisy Syndicate has made no ef
fort at extraction, but, under the gen
eral management of Walter c. Geddes
the property has been put in such shape
that the output of ore will be steady
and of large proportions.
An electric lighting system has been
installed throughout the mine and cx-
ploration has been carried on on two
levels. At the 300foot point the vein
has been crosscut for sixty feet and the
farther wall is not yet in sight. On the
400 foot level the vein shows width
of fifty feet.
Although all the vein matter does NOT
carry shipping pay, there are number
of fat strcaks, from which tremend
Gus extraction will be made. A cross
cut is also being run to pick up the
north vein and a number of miners arc
drifting to pick up the fault plane
which was recently lost.

two well known mining and business
men of New Haven, Connecticut. They

and principal shareholder in the Pre-
cious Metals Mining company, was re-

Precious Metals property in particular,
until he persuaded them to visit the
district. Both gentlemen were SO
pleased with the conditions here that
they Immediately invested heavily, not
only in Precious Metals, but in other
properties in this district and at Gold
Mountain. They say they found the
Garrison property much better than he
had represented to them.
The Precious Metals company has,
among its holdings, leasehold on the
Atlanta. 1t is developed to depth
of 270 feet, where good looking ledge,
seven feet, six inches wide, has been
encountered. This shaft will be sent as
rapidly as possible to the 500-foot point.
The ledge, which was picked up in .
crosscut 100 feet from the shaft, win
