MILLER AND LUX
FOUND GUILTY
PACIFIC LIVE STOCK COMPANY
CONVICTED OF FENCING PUB
Lie LAND IN HEARING BE-
FORE L. =. COURT At CARSON.

The case of the government
against the Pacific Livestock COM
pany, under which name the Nevada
ranches of the firm of Miller & Lux
are incorporated, on the charge of
fencing government land. was con-
cluded in the United States district
court at Carson the jury returning a
verdict of guilty after twenty-five
minutes elaboration.
The specific charge against the Pa
eific Livestock company was the fenc-
ing of $50 acres of government land
on Quinn river, in the northwestern
part of Humboldt. The PRINCIPAL
witness for the prosecution was In
spector Harry Cullom of the U. S.
Land Office, who made a survey of
the land about two years ago.
A J. Dakin, who was foreman at
the ranch at the time the fence was
built, testified that he had built the
fence following the line made by T.
K. Stewart, surveyor, whom the
company had employed.
Mr.. Stewart testified that he had
been employed by the company and
the land.
Ii was brought out in the cross
examination of this witness that his
plat represented the amount of pub
lie land enclosed as differing but
slightly from that represented in
Mr. Cullom's map. This proved that
there was something over 500 acres
enclosed.
John Gilcrest, agent of the COM
pany and its general superintendent.
testified that there had been an old
fence which he thought might take
in some public land. He accordingly
employed T. K. Stewart, an ex-
perienced surveyor, to survey the
property. Mr.. Stewart, upon doing
this, had found a new line. The old
fence was accordingly torn down and
a new one built along the new line

~ the foreman. Mr. Dakin Mr.
Dakin had followed this line careful
y, only deviating from It where the
nature OF the ground forbade the
erection OF permanent fence It
seems that in order TO follow the line
as laid out it would have been neces-
sary to erect the fence across a
swamp where the company claimed
Il could not have long existed. This
was therefore cut of BY the fence
thus taking in the government land.

IMPROVING BALANCE SHEET.

Secretary Maoyeigh and his associ-
ates are rejoicing over the turn of
affairs in their department. They
have a right 10 rejoice. The govern
ment's income al last begins 10 ex-
ceed its ontgo. For April the re-
ceipts exceeded the expenditures
about 81 100000 This reverses
the general course OF things for a
long time past In each of the other
nine months of the fiscal year ex-
penditures were ahead. In some of
the months the expenditures led by
10000 or more.
Te is evident now that the esti-
mate of the shortage for the year
which ends on June so will have TO
be modified Two months ago the
indications pointed 10 a deficit of
$4,000. 900 for the year. Then
the figure began 10 shrink. but the
lowest point that il reached was
500. 600 900. There is a fair proba-
bility that il may go below that line
now. Al the end of March the
shortage was nearly 1000. 900.
II the exhibit thus far this month is
maintained to the end, il will be
down 100000 by the beginn-
ing of June Usually the last two or
three months of a fiscal year are the
most favorable for the treasury, but
the recent setback altered the gen.
eral course Of things, and these
months In 1908 showed large bal F
ances on the wrong side.
What are the causes of the i'm
proved treasury outlook. A large in
crease in the importation of dutiable
goods is one of them. An increase
ia the consumption OF the articles on
which internal taxes are levied is
another. These reflect a revival in
business confidence all over the coun-
.ry. In most line: of goods the
surplus is exhausted. and the inn
,roved demand for them compels

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The intense dullness
Of today's stock market served to obscure the
importance of the price movements, which
were remarkable in several cases.
The general hrmness was Influenced by sym
pathy with the strength in these special stocks,
but more distinctly by the tecnnlcal factors %,
in the position. The conclusion of the Lon
don stock market settlement, with no casual
ties as a result Of the heavy declines since
the preceding settlement, removed cause or
apprehension and brought in some buying or
stocks here from that source The movement
that attracted most notice was that in Union
Pacific preferred, which moved to a record
price, ard one out of line with its invest
ment returns compared with the current
money market. Rumors Of an intention to
retire the stock given to account for its
rise 1t is supposed that the purchase to
retire stock would be to avoid the embar-
rassnent of claims from the preferred stock
holders share in the distribution of invest
ment holdings by the company of other shares
Such a distribution was under discussion at
one time when the company was under scru-
tiny for alleged violation of the interstate
commerce law in holding those shares The
days rumors had to do with a supposed offer
of one share OF Union Pacific common stock
for two shares OF the preferred, or an ex-
change of a convertible bond for the preferred
stock with rights of conversion into common
stock, presumably at a price above the cur
rent market quotations. There was nothing
like official confirmation or countenance for
these rumors, but they were extremely ef-
feetive.
The pronounced dullnsss which has developed
in Amalgamated Copper was responsible for
the backwardnes of the stocks of the copper
company. A good deal of discussion was heard
OF the movement to secure the enactment of
corporation earning tax, and Washington re-
ports that statements of earnings by the cor
porations were to furnish the basis for the
tax were claimed as promise of softening OF
the terms which were feared at first of the
powers Of inquisition into corporations to go
with the proposed law.
