WONDER PROPERTY
RIGHTS Settled
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS DE.
CISION OF THE LOWER
TRIBUNAL.

A decision in a suit involving the
ownership of some of the richest
properties in the Wonder mining dis
trict and the Wonder townsite. was
handed down Saturday by the SUI
preme Court The amount of prop
erty involved in the suit is estimated
to be worth at least 100000. The
Supreme Court affirms the decision
of the lower court in every particular
except one, Assemblyman n. r. Fitz-
patrick one of the defendants. win
ming out in the case.
The action is the result of a grub
stake agreement entered into BY
Thomas ]. Costello, Tonopah man.
and Miss Leona K. Newhall, a lady
residing at Tonopah and employed in
the county offices, and Murray Scott.
a prospector. The two first named
staked Scott, it appears, to prospect
in the Goldyke country and later
throughout that and adjoining dis
tricts. That they first staked him n
1905 and that in May, 1906, he went
to Fairview. The evidence showed
that on May 10th he received $50
from Costello and Miss Newhall
Four days later Scott formed a part
nership with two men named VIM.
Mays and L. A. Savage. Two days
later, on the 25th of May, 1906, the
trio located Wonder camp. Sub
sequently N. R. Fitzpatrick purchased
part interest in the trios townsite,
getting SCOTS one-third.
Suit was brought by Costello and
Miss Newhall against Scott, Mays.
Fitzpatrick and Savage to regain the
townsite and also for one-half inter
est in the mines, alleging the CO.
partnership between themselves and
Scott and also that the other three
defendants knew of this relation and
conspired to secure the property In
the lower court the case was heard by
1uuSC Sul iSl doSlSleu ny d jury. Inc
jury brought in a verdict as to GER
tain facts which the court set aside
and rendered verdict in favor of
the plaintiffs Costello and Newhall
instead OF the defendants as in ac-
cord with the findings of the jury.
The defendants then appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court held that the
case being regarded as an equitable
one the court had right to set aside
such findings when the jury las
sisted" him and then affirmed the
decision of the lower court with the
exception of Fitzpatrick. The court
as to that defendant, ordered a new
trial, holding that Fitzpatrick did
not know of any alleged partnership
relations between Scott and the plain
tiffs and that he acquired title to
the townsite legally. Fitzpatrick is
also awarded his costs. The case
was one of the hardest fought in the
court for long time.

WABUSKA Wins
RAWHIDE TRADE

Joe Holland, the genial Wabuska
boniface, is spending a few days in
Reno, looking for help. The fascina-
tions of Wabuska soon pail on the
lover of the beauties of nature, and
the grandeur of the scenery in that
part of Nevada is so great, and the
loneliness of landscape so manifold
that even the most ardent admirer of
the picturesque becomes surfeited
with the excuses of the feast of the
eye.
Joe says that the thing which most
engrosses the attention of the Wa
buskans at present is the building of
road to Rawhide. The people of
that camp are fairly pining for an
outlet into Mason Valley, and if they
don't get it. trouble is bound to en-
sue. They prefer Mason Valley to
SchurZ for many reasons, but one in
particular is that Schurz being situ-
ated on the Indian Reservation, whis-
key is not permitted there. and the
men of Rawhide, being natural born
miners, always travel with a thirst

"'SeaIshipt' Sense"

This is the title of very interest
ing little book about "Sea1shipt" Oys-
tiers. 1t gives much valuable informa-
ton about cooking and serving the
delicious bivalve," and contains new
recipes for preparing.
What will appeal to every oyster
lover is the detailed description of
how "Sealshipt'' Oysters differ from
other kinds-how they are shucked
into galvanized steel containers, and
packed alright with ice around the
containers. but not in contact with the
oysters. The 'Sealshipt" shipping
carrier system is what accounts for
the cleanliness and delicacy of flavor
of "Sealshipt" Oysters.
The price of "Sealshipt'' Oysters is
higher than that of tub oysters: but
they go SO much farther that they &C.
tually cost you less-beside having the
full. delicious sea flavor which tub oys
tiers cannot have.
We have "Sealshipt Sense" books
and will gladly give you one. We sell
"Sealshipt" Oysters exclusively-out oil

Cannot Dispense With Wood for Building

Great as the advance in fireproof
construction has been during the last
10 years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber. and both architects
and builders find themselves so de-
pendent on wood today that they are
compelled to admit that the forests of
the country are likely to be the chief
source of building material for many
years to come.
THE use of cement, terra Gotta,
Brick and stone, with framework of
steel, will make it possible soon to do
away with wood entirely is a re-
mark often heard, and, indeed, when
one stands on lower Broadway and
looks up at the towering skyscrapers,
the statement seems to contain much
truth. AS matter of fact, however
the popular idea that fireproof mate
rails will do away with the need of
using lumber in comparatively few
years is very erroneous one. All of
the various freproof materials going
into the approved construction of the
more substantial buildings are used
in greater quantities now than the
world dreamed of few years ago
yet the heavy demand for lumber con.
tinues.
That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. OF the
permits used for buildings erected last
year, approximately 81 per cent were
constructed of wood, and the remain
ing 80 per cent of fire resisting ma
terial, according to report issued by
the geological survey on operations in
40 leading cities of the country. These
figures are the more significant wher
it is realized that they only represent
the building activities in the largest
cities; they do not take into account
the construction of dwellings, stores
and other buildings in the thousands O
small cities and towns scattered ovel

and not included in the 40 cities on
which the reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominatihg building ma
terial and it is safe to say that if the
statistics had INDUCED figures for all
places of whatever size, the percent
age of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig
ures, as a rule, are only for the cor
pOrate limits. and the suburbs of
these cities have each very large
amounts to be added. The cost. also
is relatively higher in these cities
than in towns nearer the base of the

UNEMPLOYED IN BERLIN
Census Shows Few Women Among
the Ranks of Idle Workers.

Berlin, Nov. 19.-An official census
of Berlin and its suburbs shows that
there are today in this territory 40,12f
persons without employment. OF this
number only 1,716 are women. The
remarkably small number of women
who lack employment is accounted
for by the great demand for domestic
servants. Some socialist members of
the city council have requested a
house to house census. and claim that
this would show larger figures.
