The famous Litigation Hill' suit
brought by the Manhattan Union Min
ing company in which Senator Tasker
L. Oddie is interested, against Dan
Mcnamara, George Breiger, William
Davidson and Con McFadden, has
been remanded to the district court
of Nye county for another trial. The
decision was rendered yesterday by
the scupreme court. Judge Talbot
wrote the opinion. In rendering the
decision all presidents of the United
States supreme court since 1872 have
been ignored. The grounds for re-
manding the suit back to It's original
jurisdiction are based on the Nevada
mining laws which conflict with the
federal enactments. The decision
reads In part: Mining claims are
not open to relocation until the rights
OF former locator have come to an
end. relocator seeks to avail him
self of mineral in the public lands
which another has discovered; this
he can not do until the first discoy-
erer has abandoned his claim, and
left the property open for another to
take up"
]. H. Hill of Oroville, Cal, arrived
in Reno Monday, and stated that he
will Immediately take steps toward
dredging for gold in the vicinity of
Dayton. Hill left for Dayton to look
over the ground that he proposes to
work with dredger. He examined
the place some time ago and at that
time expressed himself as satisfied
that the ground could be worked
probably with dredger. The Car
son river at this place is broad and
the water is never very deep. Hill
states that he will use the same meth
DDS at Dayton as are employed on the
Feather and Yuba rivers in Califor-
mia. He has had much experience in
this line of work in California. Years
ago dredging was INDUCED in on the
Carson river near Dayton, but the
work was abanooned.
