sent at surface, and in what may
justly be termed "near-surface work

the future of Rawhide as a milling

be understood that Mr.. Probert gave
no recognition to the ore shoots Of
excessive gold contact which prevail
within the area of secondary precious

dykes and outcroppings, and that the
railroad reporting agent must have
wilfully misrepresented the character
of the land which was set forth in the
application affidavit as being nom
mineral. The complaint charges the
agent of the railroads with fraud and
conspiracy to unlawfully secure these
lands as a part of their odd section
grant and with a fraudulent attempt
to swindle the government out of it's
mineral lands which should go to the
miner and prospector. The complaint
prays for q decree cancelling and an
nulling the railroad patent in order
that the land may become part of
the public domain and asks that the
trust mortgages so far as it effects
the land in question be set aside and
declared null and void. If the gov
eminent wins the case the right of
mining locators, on the land will be
preserved and their mining proper
ties may be worked and developed.
An order of court was secured on
affidavit for services upon the trust
company in New York and upon the
Central Pacific railroad company in
Utah, at which places their principal
offices are located. They were given
until January IL to enter an appear

u. S. ATTORNEY
FILES A SUIT
AGAINST ESpEE
Complaint Alleges Land Valued at More
Than Million Dollars Has Been Sc
cured by the S. p. Through Fraud

United States Attorney Plat Sat
urday filed complaint in the ninth
circuit court entitled the United
States VS.. the Central Pacific rail-
road, the Southern Pacific railroad,
and the United States Trust company
of New York for the purpose of get
ting decree of the court setting
aside United States patent issued
to the railroad company on what is
alleged to be mineral land. This
suit is the result of the celebrated
Colonel Proskey investigation and
involves mineral lands in the Talla-
poiost mining district, Lyon county,
Nevada. The time for the commence
ment of this suit expires on the third
of next January as the six year sta
tute of limitation begins to run i'm
mediately after patent issues. The
bill of complaint is made up of nine
teen closely written typewriter
pages and is brought direct by
United States Attorney Plat, acting
for the government. 1t was the in
vestigation in this case that stirred
up the country's energies to protect
the mining interests of Nevada and
is the sixth action already brought
against the railroad company. The
bill of complaint alleges that the
land in question is valued at more
than one million dollars and that the
railroad company secured patent by

filing fraudulent non-mineral aft
davits. An entire section of land in
Township 1S South, Range "a East,
N. D. NJ Comprising $40 acres is
involved in the suit and it is said that
the United States attorneys office is
in possession of fund of data and
evidence for use at the trial which
has been furnished by agents of the
interior department specially detailed
for the purpose. The New York
Trust company is made party to the
suit because it holds trust mortgage
bonds of the Central Pacific railway
and the Southern Pacific is brought
in as a grantee of the first mentioned
railroad company.
The bill alleges in detail multi
tude of facts showing the mineral
character, of the land. 1t sets up
that large mineral bearing dykes and
quartz Lodges, outcropping high
above the surrounding land are Wis
ible for miles away; that float show
ing free gold and assaying high in
mineral values is scattered indis-
criminately over large portions of the
section; that old workings, compris-
ing shafts and other development
work completed as long as thirty
years ago disclose quartz lodges of
considerable value; that these work
ings, dumps, etc, are plainly visible

tion to that effect came to your rep

though not expressed to him by Mr.
Probert in person. That gentleman
quite naturally, prefers to have his
employers make announcement of his
opinion on this camp, rather than to
forestall any plans they may have in
connection Herewith by expressing
himself prematurely.
Mr.. Probert did, however, state
that he believes Rawhide gives prom
Use of developing into one of the
country's most prosperous milling
camps. He did not state that thi.
camp is the most wonderful and the
largest free milling proposition the
world has ever known, nor that i

he did say is that Rawhide offers
great possibilities in the way of mill
