printed IN a Japanese newspaper.

won the toss, and the Keio In
vincibles had first chance to swat
the honorable ball-that emblem
so beautiful to Uncle Sam.
The honorable Kauki of the
first base, descendant of hund-
red Samuria and beloved to all,
grasped his bat as if it were the
two handed sword of his ances-
tors. Alas! His honorable legs
were not winged, and the ball
beat him to the first rice bag.
No score was made by either of
the honorable sides. though they
hewed large holes in the atmos-
phere for four innings. In the
fifth inning the gods smiled on
Honolulu and the team scored
one honorable run; then the gods
laughed while The honorable Keio
boys piled up three tallies.
Keio's 400 rooters then drew in
their honorable breaths with
pleased hiss, waved their royal
purple firecrackers with the weird

BLACKSMITH COAL IS
FOUND IN WHITE PINE

During the past week, says the Ely
Record, no little excitement was caus-
ed by the location of coal lands in
Butte Valley, about twelve miles west
of Cherry Creek, by Ely people.
Coal was discovered in that section
several years ago by George Young
and associates, who have done a suf-
icient amount of development work
to demonstrate the possibilities of the
future. They followed the vein down
an incline for sixty feet. On the sur
face the vein was narrow, but at the
present depth the work shows more
than two feet of good solid coal,
which is especially adapted to forge
purposes. At the present time the
greater portion of the blacksmith s
coal comes from Australia and is prob
ably worth from $40 to SIS per ton in
lots. 1t is thought that with
development these new fields will easily
all local demands of the state
that class of coal, the mining of
which would prove most profitable.
1t is considered probable that de-
will prove the existence
of soft coal in commercial quantity
for domestic purposes.

MORE FEDERAL JUDGES
WANTED FOR NEVADA

in the district judgeship caused by the
advancement of Judge Harrington.
Should another circuit judge be pro
vided for and Judge Harrington APP
pointed, then the circuit judges would
stand as follows: William b. Gilbert,
Erskin NJ. Ross, William w. Morrow
and f. s. harrington.
1t is difficult to imagine the vast
amount of work of the federal courts
of the ninth circuit and some steps
should be taken at once to provide
more judges to do the work as it in
creases in this vast territory.
Not long since in the case of the Pa
cifc Livestock company, being a reor-
ganization of the Miller & Lux company,
against William Rollins and seventeen
other defendants, Judge Morrow made
an order in the circuit court, northern
district of California at San Francisco
transferring said case from the cir
cult court ninth circuit, district of Ne
vada, to the circuit court ninth cir
cult, district of northern California. In
the ease the plaintiff moved the circuit
court at Carson, Judge E. S. Harrington
presiding for an injunction, pendente
lite Judge harrington stated that he
would prefer to have some other judge
hear the case and invite some other
federal judge to preside as he had been
attorney for two of the defendants in
another suit. Judge Morrow on the ap-
plication of Judge harrington directed
Judge Hunt of Montana to come to Nc.
vada and hear the case, but Judge Hunt
was suddenly taken ill while on his way
to Nevada to hear the case. Then Judge
Morrow made the order transferring the
case to California for trial. This order
was made without notice to any of the
defendants and when the matter came
up before Judge Morrow last Saturday
nine of the defendants strenuously OBJ
jected to the ease being transferred f"r
trial for the reason that none of the
Judges of the circuit court were DIS
qualified and that if said case were to
be heard in the circuit court o. the
ninth circuit, nothern district Of Cali
fornia at San Francisco, the expenses
of the defendants in presenting their
defense would be increased to such an
extent as to render it practically i'm
possible for the defendants to make the
defense. Judge Morrow then took the
| question of transferring said case to
the court in California under advise
ment.

PATRICK TELLS WHY BLACK
BUTTE NEEDS REoReANIzINe

In discussing the proposed ro-organi.
zation of the Diamondfeld Black Butte
Consolidated Mining company, details
of which appear elsewhere in this issue
of The News. l.. l.. Patrick said:
alt may not appear clear to some
people why reorganization is necessary
if we al get royalties from leasers at
a rate that will pay off the Indebtedness
at about $1,000 a month. These royal
ties come from shipments of the best
grade of ores found in the mine, and
they are erratie. 1t is a case of up
and down. and nothing can be done
with the lower grade ores until we
n mill. In order to build the
mill, we must %reorganize so as to get
funds for this purpose, as the royalties
from the shipping ores will only keep
us going along at a 'hand-to-mouth
existence Reorganization is the only
solution of the problem and the only
hope of putting the company on its
feet so that a mill can be built ana
make the property a profitable producer
and utilize its milling ores, which are
there in large quantities"

According to the Reno Gazette, dur
ing the next session of congress promi-
nent attorneys of Nevada, will endeavor
to have the bar associations in this
state urge Congressman Bartlett and
Senators Nixon and Newlands to en-.
deavor to have congress pass a law
providing for another circuit judge for
the ninth circuit, embracing California.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana, for the reason that the work
in the ninth circuit is so great that the
unable to hear the multitude of cases
upon the calendar of the courts in this
circuit. The circuit of the nothern dis
trict of California at present has alone
from eleven to twelve hundred cases to
he determined, and the struggle to get
said eases heard is ever present. 1t
takes nearly two years after the cases
are brought, before a trial can be bad
in the neutral order, on account of this
great press of legal business.
In addition to the work of the circuit
and district courts the circuit judges
with the assistance of some of the dis
trict judges have to sit as a circuit court
of appeals for the ninth circuit to dis
pose of the many appeals taken to that
court from the several courts in said
circuit. Since the death of Justice
Field and Circuit Judge Sawyer, not a
session of the circuit of the ninth
circuit, district of Nevada has been
held either by the circuit justice or any
of the circuit judges in the state of Ne
vada.
During the lifetime of Justice Field
and Judge Sawyer they frequently
held sessions of the circuit court in the
district of Nevada, but since their
death the work in the federal courts
of the ninth circuit has increased so
rapidly that even with the combined
efforts of all the judges they have not
been able to keep the calendars clear.
The Judges of the ninth circuit are
the hardest worked judges in the United
States, according to many prominent
lawyers.
The plan of the attorneys advocating
the appointment of another circuit
Judge for the ninth circuit is to have
congress provide for a fourth circuit
Judge for the Ninth circuit to reside in
Nevada, hoping that Judge harrington
would be appointed to the new judge
ship by President Taft and that another
mar be appointed to fill the vacancy

CONGRESSMAN BARTLETT
FAvoRs SHIP SUBSIDY

Congressman Bartlett, replying to an
inquiry from the New York Ameri
can as to his position on ship subsidy,
yesterday wired as follows:
"New York American,
New York, n. Y:
81 have voted twice for ship subsidy
bills, and will continue the same policy
because ] believe il to be a nation s
duty to coal its own navy under its
own flag, and national wisdom to en-
courage the growth of an American
merchant ma.ine that will have a fair
chance on the highways of the sea if
we are to continue legislation and
policies that make for expansion of
foreign ommerc and trade relations.
"GEO. A. BARTLETT
The congressman is positive and
OF this subject, and with the
exception of Hobson of Alabama is the
only Democrat in the house to vote for
ship subsidy in the last congress. He
introduced a resolution in the American
Mining Congress last week, which was
adopted, calling upon the president, the
senate and the house of representatives
to enact legislation that would encour
age the upbuilding of the merchant
marine.

SMITH BACK TO
SCENE OF EARLY SUCCESS

over the property. He returned to
Tonopah, found his man and paid him
the $3.50. This property was what is
now known as the Velvet, Potlateh and
Gold Horn, belonging to the Goldfcld
Merger Mines company. Smith return
ed to Goldfeld, brought in the first desk
and typewriter and was the first notary
public. Later he organized a postofice
and served as Goldfeld's first post
master, and was the district S first re
corder.
As the tide swept into Goldield and
the demand for property became fren-
zied, Smiths holdings became very
valuable in the market. He had organ
lied some companies on this ground,
and he was made a bona fide cash offer
of a million dollars for his holdings in
the camp. But Claude Smith was a
man who could buy but never sell, so
he held on, and is still holding on and
he has large blocks of stock in the
Goldfeld Merger Mines company, a
merger of his various companies, which
will doubtless some day make MIN a
very wealthy man. At any rate, Claude
has com back to camp to watch his
and all the old timers are glad
to see him and wish him luck. He has
taken the house of his partner, John
Erickson, on Broadway in the section
known as Mob Hill.

c. NJ. Smith is back in Goldfeid--
"Claude' Smith of the early days,
optomistic as ever and glad to be back.
He arrived yesterday with his wife and
fine little baby boy and has taken up
his old Office quarters with A. A. Codd,
and will remain indefinitely, assuming
his duties as secretary of the Gold
field Merger Mines company.
Mr.. Smith has been away from Gold
field for several years. In the mean
time his home was in Oakland, visiting
every summer with his wife at Lake
Tahoe, where his wife formerly re-
sided; but he has always longed for the
desert and the camp of his early sue
cesses so he comes back to settle down
and "stay with the camp"
There are very few who came into
Goldfeld at an earlier day than Claude
Smith. He was among the first, in fact
was of the first bunch that came into
the district. 1t was in the summer Of
1903. Reports of a discovery had
reached Tonopah and Claude was on his
way to the new diggings when he met
a prospeetor by the name of Harris ut
Klondyke Wells. The prospector was
going out of camp. He told Smith he
had located some property in Goldfield
and would sell out for $3.50. Smith paid
him 81 down and said he would look

TERMS o LEASE ARE NOT
BINUING IF UNPROFITABIE

That a lessee of a mining claim is re-
lieved from fulfilling the terms of the
lease when to do so would be unremuu
~erative was the ruling laid down by
Judge Allen in the district court of
Denver, when he found for the defend
ant in the suit brought by Jacob and
Henrietta Schloss against the Western
Mining company of Leadville.
The Western Mining company is
controlled by the G~uggenheims. Its
president is Samuel ID. Nicholson, for
mer mayor of Leadville. The company
took a lease from the ScAlosses of 3S
acres north of Leadville townsite,
known as the Neusitz placer mines. 1t
drilled 500 feet below the surface of
the property and found that there was
no mineral formation of any value. On
this discovery it refused to do any more
work on the property. The Sehlosses
hen started the suit, petitioning tbs
court to order the company to sink
a shaft and otherwise comply with ths
terms of the lease. Judge Allen held
that the company, by drilling the 500
foot hole, had lone all that vas neces
sary; that the hole plainly showed thai
further work would not be remunera
tive and would secure no royalties fol-
the lessons; and that it was relieved
from sinking a shaft or from making
other efforts required by the contract
to find ore.

..o,t in preparation for the congress
no, with such happy results.
The meeting was called to order by
cbas. S. sprague, and Milton Deten'
Tho Mining Congress commission
w.s asked TO outline the object OF the
Meeting, which was for the purpose oil
t.r;s;ng a plan whereby the ore re-
naming from the huge Mining Con
nress exhibit could be maintained as a
aornstual Nevada exhibit in this camp.
The ore remaining after private col
,o.,;ons have been returned to owners,
and ore donated to the University
School of Mines shipped to that insti-
,u,;on. is valued at several thousand
lollars. and in the milling ores, espe-
eially. affords a most exhaustive cor
lection of the real commercial ores or
Nevada.
Chairman Beesley of the county com
m;ssioners announced that the com
missioners are heartily in favor OF AID
inc in the maintenance of n permanent
exhibit. and stated that the county
appropriation of $25 per month, or so
much of it as is necessary, can be used
for this purpose.
Directors Colburn and Vardaman OF
the Goldfeld Stock Exchange stated
that arrangements are row under way
for provi ling space for the exhibit IN
the Stock Exchange building, which
building they believed to be the proper
place for the exhibit. l.. l.. Patrick
and Harry Bryant voiced the sentiment
of the local business men hat Gold
field should maintain a representative
exhibit of the states ores, and John
Tate, who classified and arranged the
ores for the Mining Congress exhibit,
gave 1t brief description of the ores on
hand, their value, and how the exhibit
could be prepared at little expense. His
plane embraces the use of part, or all,
of the white cabinet that attracted so
much attention during the congress.
Pursuant upon resolution, the Mining
Congress commissioners were made Gus
todlans of the ores now on hand, pend
ing the preparation of the permanent
exhibit, and a subscription paper placed
IN circulation received, as a starter,
signatures for something like 800 for
the display fund.
