The San Francisco Examiner of June
0 contains a somewhat romantic story,
one of the principal characters in which
is said to be q wealthy and prominent
business man Of this State. Following
are the principal points in the Exam
iner's article regarding the matter:
Mrs. James German, wife Of Q
wealthy real estate owner and business
man Of wadsworth. Nevada. has filed
a petition for divorce in San Francisco
against her husband, James German.
The grounds set forth in the document
are cruelty. She came t, Nevada with
her father, Robert A. Edgar. from Qae-
bee, Canada, about six years ago. Her
father was an ex-member of the Pro
yincial Parliament at Ottawa. aud she
was the reigning belle Of that city. Her
marriage to Mr.. German took place at
Elko. Nevada. May IA. 1908 The hus-
band is the owner of a general mer.
ohsudise store at Wadsworth. OF an
other at Elko, and of real estate in both
towns. besides being proprietor Of the
wadsworth Hotel. The couple settled
in wadsworth aud were happy.
Then came q quarrel, aud another.
and then they separated. she returning
to her father in Canada in 1906. where
she remained for a time. eventually
coming to California a year ago to es-
tablish q residence in that State with a
view to beginning suit for divorce.
1t is set forth in the complaint that
German, by cruelty and threats. forced
her 20 leave their Wadsworth home /;
that he possesses an ungovernable tenn
per and was continually finding fault.
Mrs. German says her husband has
large sums on deposit with the Hender-
derson Banking Company OF Elko. Ne
vada, and in the First National Bank OF
Elko. Besides there is community prop
erty worth $4,000. of which she seeks
one.half and a liberal allowance in per-
manent ahmony.

The Nevada officials spent q day or
two in the Utah capital for the purpose
Of looking over the books OF the Bsm-

properly Of which IL located at Dela-
mar. Nevada, end whose offices are ct
Delamar, Salt Lake City and New York.
The most important Of these develop.
msnts would, should 1t come to pass,
consist OF the lsvying Of an arbitrary
assessment against the mining oom-
pany for the purpose Of compelling the
company to produce its books in court
and prove by them the injustice o: an
assessment.
Arbitrary assessments, by b way,
are not levied with the idea Of their be.
ing paid. On the other hand. the assess
ment IL made excessive for the sole pur.
pose Of forcing the person or corpora
tion assessed to prove in court why the
assessment should not be paid. 1t is
the proving of this that gives the other
party to the action the opportunity to
acquire an intimate knowledge OF the
company's books.
It is q more intimate knowledge Of
the books of the Bamberger- Delamar
Mining Company that the State OF Ne.
vada desires. In other words. the State
is not satisfied with the amount OF bull

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

Looking Hopefully Forward a Sign
of YOuthfulne~s.
New Year resolutions belong to
youth, and the spirit of youth. When
we grow old we are Indifferent to the
succession Of years, and they go by
as months without epoch. Woe be
to US when we cease to form new reso-
buttons on the opening OF a new
year," 1t Is an indication Of old age
when we cease to look. hopefully for
ward and to plan meeting the new du-
ties and experiences the coming year
must bring. The man who feels he
cannot advance and grow wiser and
better with years is in an unfortunate
place. At whatever time In his career
he thus rests his efforts he is old and
10 longer leads an active life of use
fulness, and a man or woman who
Ices not lead a life of usefulness is
as good as dead.
Age is mt always a matter OF time;
it is quite often a matter OF condition.
We have all of us known beautiful old
men and wonen of f%our-score who
have never grown old in spirit, but
have kept apace with life. Each New
Year brought new hopes and new res
o%lutions. They were full of inspira-
ton for all around them. and ready to
meet every emergency with the wis
dom and wit That come from years
