 Birmingham Sensation.

Birmingham Jsn.v 14-Police Com missioner w. R. McGavock. who has been accused of being interested in gambling house over his furniture store, today gave out a statement in which he denies that he ever inyit- ed J. D. Carlisle, whom he says was at one time in the city building inspec- tors office, to visit a room over the furniture store
 He says that the public remembers that charges were preferred by the mayor against two aldermen and the result of the trials. and that he wtp not enter into a controversy with the caief executive of the city.
 In all probability the city council wilI be requested tomorrow night by the mayor to take some action in the police commission matter.
 Suggestions have been made that Impeachment proceedings can be in- stituted if desired against an offl- eial who does not carry out the oath of office, and being interested in a gambling room is claimed to be yio- latios Of the oath Of office.

FLANAGAN IS
UPHELD BY THE
UPPER COURT

BY a decision of the state supreme
court, the findings of Attorney
Thomas E. Flanagan, referee in the
Nevada hotel litigation, have been
confirmed. This carries with it an
important point in mechanics liens.
About a year ago., Judge Langan
appointed Attorney Flanagan to act
as his referee in the case of the
Western Engineering and Construc-
ton company, against the Nevada
Amusement company, controlling the
hotel at Goldfield named above, with
the Tonopah Lumber company and
the Interstate Lumber company as
lien claimants. The former sued for
lumber furnished amounting to
about $1,000, and the latter sued for
amount approaching $1,000. The
Tonopah company set up claim as
material man, and had fifty days
after the completion of the building
in which to file it's lien. The Inter-
state people set up a lien as an orig
inal contractor, and had sixty days
after the completion of the contract
in which to enter a cfaim.
The referee filed findings to the
effect that the building was complet-
ed May 2, 1907, within purview of
the mechanics lien act; that is, the
building was constructively complet-
ed, as it has never actually been fin
ished and still stands as menace to
the business district The referee
also decided that the Tonopah COM
pany, which filed it's lien in June was
within the time allowed; that the
Interstate company was not an orig
inal contractor, since it furnished
material only, hence should have
filed within fifty days after May 2,
1907.
The Nevada Amusement company
early gave up the contest, but it was
carried on against the lien claimants
by Patrick Walsh and William East
on, owners of the ground on which
the hotel stands. Senator H. ".
Morehouse represented the Tonopah
and Interstate companies; Detch,
Carney and Stevens the Nevada
Amusement company and d. S. Tru-
man, Walsh and Easton. There were
fourteen hearing before the referee
on this mechanics lien proposition,
and ntrcate questions of law were
argued at length.

AN IMPORTANT
mining DEAL
in HUMBOLDT

Advices firm Winnemucca are to
the effect that probably the most i'm
portant mining deal in the history of
Humboldt county was consummated
on Friday, the 18th of October, when
Edward Remnant, at San Francisco,
signed papers transferring to party
of capitalists of that city, the Aud
Lang Syne, one of the oldest and
most celebrated properties of the
state.
The Remnants still retain an inter-
est, but the terms of the sale could
not be ascertained. From San Fran
cisco correspondent the Silver State
News received word last Friday that
the deal had been perfected, and the
property taken over by syndicate
headed by BILLY" Nelson.

MORE RICH ORE
At RHYOLUE

RHYOLITE, Oct 22.-Word has
been received from the Capricorn
lease to the effect that an eight-inch
streak of ore richer than anything
ever encountered before in the prop
erty has just been uncovered The
high grade was struck at point
thirty-five feet in the drift from the
fifty-foot level.
The entire streak is literally inter
spersed with hornsiIver, and the les
sees estimate that the average yield
will not fall much below $1,000 to the
ton. It. is the best ore reached so far
in the lease. The shipments made
hitherto by the lessees have averag-
ed around 5000, but the present ex-
traction, the lessees think, will great
ly exceed this amount.
Captain E. P. Miner, one of the
lessees. is very enthusiastic over the
discovery, and thinks if the new body
holds out, that unquestionably it
means fortune.
