LAW STUDENTS BOX
MAY BE REVIVED
Old Time English Custom Was
Beneficial TO Beginners

When Lord Kenyon vas chief JUS
tice OF England there used to be a box
FOR the bar students close to the
bench. and Lord Campbell says he well
remembers how the chief justice would
show the pleadings TO the students and
explain their effect. Justice jeff has
found occasion at Birmingham to ex-
press wish that the students box
were restored in the London courts
and introduced into the assize courts.
The practice OF reserving a special
place for the use OF students IN our
courts OF justice was, OF course, the
Law Journal states, in existence long
before Lord Kenyon's time.
Lord Mansfield was always at great
students There wants nothing to
answer the objection but TO state the
case, which ] viii do for the sake Of
the students" are among the words OF
his reported judgment in case tried
fn 1865.
Nobody can doubt, the Law Journal
thinks. that the students box might
again play q most useful part in the
scheme Of legal education. 1t often
happens that when an important case
is being tried the demands upon the
space Of the court are so heavy that a
student is prevented from enjoying the
wished for opportunity of observing
how the masters of the forensic art do
their work The provision of special
accommodation for students in the
courts would not only enable them to
learn the lessons which are to be de-
rived from the combats of the foremost
men at the bar in causes celebres. but
would also encourage them to make
systematic use of their opportunities of
studying the art Of advocacy in less
ccusatfonsf cases.

Tonopah Dividends

At the regular monthly meeting of

company, held yesterday at the COM
pany's office at Philadelphia, quar-
terly dividend of % cents per share
was declared, with Christmas pres
ent to the stock holders in the fory
OF an extra dividend of 10 cents pei
share, a total of 35 cents. The word
was received by W. W. Charles. con-
troller of the company together with
information concerning the closing or
the books
The dividend will be paid on January
81, 1910, to stock holders of record De-
cember 81, 1910. The transfer books
will close at 3 p. M, December 81, and
reopen January at 10 a. m.

paid a dividend for over two years.
The dividend ordered paid yesterday
will amount to s350,000, and is the
fourth for this amount declared this
year. making a total of 81 100000 for
the year 1909.
Among the various gold. silver, lead
and copper producing mines in the
United States that have paid dividends
during the present year. the Tonopah
list. During the brief history of the
big company sum aggregating
s5,300,000 has been paid out in divi-
dends This makes the mine rank as
No 80 when compared with the other
mines in the United States that have
paid dividends. 1t is rather unfair
comparison when it is known that the
other properties have been paying
dividends for years and years, while
Tonopah mining has been in exist
ence only eight years and a half.
Anticipating the dividend the stock
of the company made quite an increase
during the. last few days on account of
the heavy buying orders from the east.
The stock for the last three months
has hung around the $3.50 mark but
yesterday closed at $3.50 bid, with few
selling orders recorded.
The physical condition of the mine
has never looked better, and with the
extensive amount of development work
under way 1t is almost assured that
new and greater bodies of ore will be
opened up.-Tonopah Bonanza.

To Improve Yuba Mine

Some time ago the position of super
intendent and manager of the proper
ties of the Yuba consolidated mining
company at Maybert was offered to
Dan ]. McFall of this city. McFaH has
accepted the important place and will
leave tomorrow morning for Maybert
to begin his duties.
1t is the intention of McFaH to in
stall such improvements as are neces-
sary. The Yuba is one of the oldest
mines in the county and years ago paid
regular dividends. OF late good ore
has been taken from the 400 foot level
and five stamps of the mill are kept
running.
The water in the Yuba has been
forked to the 500 level and later IL is
expected that the entire mine will be
pumped dry. The shaft is down over
900 feet.
The company has expended a large
sum in rehabilitating the mill. ma
chinery, sawmill plant, fumes, bitches.
etc, and is prepared for active mining
on a scale commensurate with the ex-
tent of the Yuba.-Grass Valley Union.

of beautiful quartz containing about
$50 worth of gold and several other
smaller pieces were taken out; When

ounces of gold. besides some smaller
pieces. I would not be surprised, how
ever, IL we are on top of a rich CHM
ney and we are going down to find it

more than 10 feet on account of not

several mines under development this
winter are gaining prominence as ore
producers.

company has made a sensational dis

strike was made in the upraise on the
Sugar Pine claim The ore, which runs
from II to 16 inches in width lies
along a large body of good milling ore.
The streak runs on an average of from
1925 to $3.50 per ton and is free milling.
The Bidwe1l discovery company is
also making excellent showings this
winter, having encountered the ore at
30S feet. and is at present drifting on
the vein. An upraise will be made
shortly and stoping begun.
