CHANGE IN REGULATIONS
Probable Action in Regard to Party
Walls Of Minor Grade.

The Commissioners will probably amend
the new building regulations so as to
make it possible to erect a nine-inch
party wall in houses of the cheaper class
which do not exceed two or three stories.
AS the proposed regulations now stand,
1t is impossible to erect any wall of the
sort less than thirteen inches thick. Many
hundreds Of dollars will oe :aved, 1t is
declared. when the amendment goes into
effect.
AS the proposed regulations have been
placed in the hands of architects and
builders of the city, it Is expected by
Commissioner Judson that many sug-
gestions will be received at the district
building relative to this Improvement
before they go into effect October l.

the spreciptate and solution being
separated by Merrill's triangular
frame filter process.
The precipitate, after roasting and
acid treatment, is fluxed and melt
ed into bullion. The amalgam is re-
tOrted in the usual way, and the
product melted and cast into bars.
Interesting points in the practice
at this mill are the "sliming,' So
called of everything this even be-
fore concentration. This practice is
successful because of the sulphide
particles forming the bulk of the
concentrates are very finely divided
in the ore. and crushing simply re-
leases them from the gangue without
reducing them further in size
The gold in this ore unlike that at
Cripple Creek, is mostly, if not en-
tirely free. and hence readily amen
able to amalgamatiOn and cyanida-
ton. There is no compounds to be
broken down before the gold is sus-
c9ptible to attack as in the cases of
the Cripple Creek ores
This practice. therefore, will not
prove equally successful, if applied
to the telluride ores of Cripple Creek
OF course these ore can be cyanided
directly. without roasting as was
demonstrated at the DOrcaS mill
when the raw dust was agitated in
cyanide solution with high extrac-
ton, but so many difficulties were
encountered that it was never adopt
ed as an initial practice.

GEO. WINTERS
DISIkHERITED

RENO. Feb. 19.-After being ONT
but 40 minutes last night, the jury in
the Winters will contest returned a
verdict in favor of the proponents to
the will. The verdict was received
at S:15 O'Clock and marked surprise
was observed after the jury express
ed It's opinion in direct opposition
10 that given by tne expert witness,
Dr Tyson. The latter in his answer
! TO the lengthy hypothetical question
or 5000 words, declared that Winters
dld not have sufficient control of his
will power prior and at ,he time of
his death to resist the influnce of
his children
The verdict was in the form of an
swers to the following questions. tne
first three being answered in The af-
tirmative, and ,ne last one in the
negative.
First-Did Theodore Winters on or
about October 10. 1904. sign the doc
ument filed as his last will and testa-
ment.
Second-Was such documents at
tested by at least two competent wit
nesSes.
Thlrd-Was Theodore Winters at
the time Of signing said document
if he aid sign it, of sound and dis
posing mind?
FOurth-Was Theodore Winters at
the time OF signing SAID document.
if he did sign it, acting under undue
influence?
Yesterday was consumed in the
hearing of testimony by witnesses
for the contestants in rebuttal and for
the proponents of the will until the
afternoon, when arguments to the
time until 5 o'clck.
The mastery argument of AttOr-
ney James T. Boyd is believed by
those who attended the trial to have
contributed in a large measure to
the jury's unwiilingness to let the
length of the hypothetical question
influnece its deliberations to the ex-
cluSiOn of other evidence which was
presented by Mr.. Boyd in such clear
and logical style that every argument
seemed to sink deep into the minds
of the jurors.
Thus closes one of the most fierce
ly contested matters Of local record.
The daughters of Winters mentioned
in the will are hereby recognized as
the sole neirs. the daughter Nellie
Mccormack and the son George Win
ters who contested the will being de
,lared as having no standing in the
settlement of the will.
Boyd and Salisbury represented the
proponents and the conduct of the
'ase Attorneys Dixon. Ayres and
Curler represented the contestants.
