SIXTH WEEK OF THE SESSION
State House Controversy to Oc- cupy Both Houses this Week.
House Has Same Old Carpet on Floor after Expensive Adjournment to Re-
 move it.

Little Rock, Feb. I5.-Special Five weeks have the legislators labored and today they started on the sixth with the Caldwell & Drake controversy still the moot ed question. Just how much time will be spent on this during the coming week will depend upon how many times it is allowed to drop. It is expected to be the sole topic of the week, with the excep- tion of the Greaves- -Sumpter dis pute, which is today being aired in the senate.
 The screen bill will be repealed this week if its opponents can mus ter up the required strength, like wise the semi monthly payday. The past week was almost void ol production, and the present week is not expected to see much trans pire other than the Caldwell & Drake dispute and reports of com mittees upon various subjects. The legislature is almost a unit in the declaration that the session can- not be completed in the time al lowed unde- the law, and there will have to be an extension oi time for at least 100 days.
 Old Carpet Remains.
 And still the house must worry with the old germ-spreading carpet which has been on the floor of that portion of the state house for the past decade. The carpet is now just as it was last week, and as it will be until a new one is purch- ased. The house spent the great CT part of Friday morning discuss ing whether or not new carpet should be purchased. It costs SIooo day to run the house, thus $500 of the states time was con- stunned in talking on a S55 carpet. It was finally decided to adjourn until Monday to allow the janitors to take up the old carpet and rid it of the dirt

RAVEN NINE CLOSED DOWN.
Reluctance of Stockholders to Pay
for Development the Cause.

BUTTE, Feb. 26.-The Raven
Mining company has suspended OPP
erations at its mines here in COM
pliance with orders received from
the company officials in Boston. This
suspension is due to the apparent un
willingness of stockholders to sub
scribe for the $4,000 shares of new
stock offered at 81 a share to provide
working capital. 1t is announced
that the directors have extended the
time for accepting subscriptions un-
till Feb. "a and If the stockholders
who appreciate the critical condition
of the company will furnish the
necessary funds by that date opera
.tions will be resumed. If the sub
subscriptions are not sufficiently lib
eral. all the subscriptions received
will be returned and the property
will remain closed. The refinancing
plan was conceived by the directors
few weeks ago, following a liberal
contribution by some of the heavier
stockholders. In fact, 1t was the
amount realized from these contri-
buttons, for which stock at par was
accepted, that has kept the company
above water up to the present. The
directors have declined further to
finance the company for the benefit
of stockholders who refuse to help
themselves, neither are they willing
to provide funds with which to con-
tinue development work and possibly
bring the property to a producing
basis without assistance from stock
holders at large.

depth of nearly 400 feet on the in

NEW COPPER DISCOVERY.

Theodore Wyneken has returned
from copper district seven miles
north of Thorne, in the Tonopah
country, where he has acquired
number of claims which he has been
working with his partner, w. A.
Koyne. THE district is practically
new one" said Mr.. Wyneken last
evening, land has only been opened
up in a short time. On our property
we have number of lodges four or
five feet in width and several of these
are traceable on the surface for over
1900 feet. We have had several as
says made which brought returns
from STA to $12O ton. The largest
return was from a piece of picked
rock, but the ledge at the present
will average over $50 to the ton.
The ore also carries values in gold.
Copper showings can be found in that
district covering a zone over eight
miles in length and four miles wide.
Several prospectors have arrived in
there lately and have started work
sinking on one of the lodges. They
have also found good showings.
When capital can be interested and
the lodges opened up / think 1t will
prove to be one of the biggest copper
districts in the west.

Hanchett continued to work the
mine and failed to render an account
TO Blair with the result that the lat
ter had to bring foreclosure against
him. This was heard in the federal
court, the litigation extending over a
period of ten years and resulting In
the federal court issuing a deed of ex-
ecution to Blair. The defendants
based their title on the execution is
sued out of the federal court and
Judge Pike in his decision holds that
the federal court was without juris-
dietion to order any party to execute
a deed TO Blair or his heirs.
In the meantime Gamble had filed
suit against the Croker estate, the
Crockers, and the Wrights, and was
all the time endeavoring to get a
hearing. NJ A. Murphy, who was at
torney for the Blairs in the foreclos-
ure suit against Hanchett, was elect
ed district judge for Esmeralda coun-
ty shortly after the foreclosure suit
was settled. CANDLES suit came up
before him and he refused to hear the
case and refused to allow any other
judge to hear 1t, denying Gamble a
change of venue. Gamble took the
matter to the supreme court and
Murphy was directed to order the
case changed to Washoe county.
Before the cause came on for trial
in Washoe county, the defendants in
the case applied for an order of re-
moval to the federal court and OBJ
tanned the order. After being in the
federal court for three years it was
sent back to Washoe county, the fed
eral court disclaiming Jurisdiction in
the matter.
