JUDGE SLOAN GIVES
 TOM REED co. DECISION
fFrom Thursdays paily)

(From Thursdays Oally)
 In sustaining the demurrer of de- fendant in the ease of Farnsworth ct al. versus the Tom Reed Gold Mining Comapny in the district court yester- day, Judge Sloan dissolved the in junction restraining the defendant company from paying further divi- dends granted by court commissioner in Kingman last week. The plaintiffs were given leave to amend, although this is the fourth similar injunction dissolved on amended complaints.
 The court held that the complaint of plaintiffs, who are stockholders in the Blue Ridge Mining and Milling Com pany, did not with sufficient certainty allege the date that plaintiffs diseov- cred that the Tom Reed Mining Com pany had issued a certain prospectus after the property in dispute had been sold at sheriff's sale to a trust eompa- nv, which afterwards passed the title to the defendant company, and the date of the passing of the title from the trust company to the mining com pany.
 It is believed that the proceedings are only the beginning of number Of legal actions by the stockholders of the Blue Ridge Company against the Tom Reed Company. The property in dispute is considered one of the rich est gold mines in the territory. It IS located in the Gold Roads district of Mohave county.
 The promoters of the Tom Reed company were directors of the Blue Ridge company at the time the proper ty passed into the trust company un- der foreclosure proceedings. The com plainants charge bad faith on the part of the directors of the company in al lowing the mortgage to be foreclosed and sold at sheriff's sale and passed into the defendant company in the or ganization of which they are accused of being leading factors.

JUDGE SLOAN WILL DECIDE
 TOM REED CASE LATER
CFrom wednesday,s paily)


 Arguing in support of the injunction restraining the Tom Reed Mining Com pany of Mohave county from paying dividends, ex-Governor Thomas of Col orado occupied the attention of the district court yesterday four hours. The case was taken under advisement by Judge Sloan.
 The injunction is being sought by the stockholders of the Blue Ridge Mining and Milling Company, which formerly owned the Tom Reed proper ties.
 It is alleged that the directors of the Blue Ridge Mining and Milling Company mortgaged the properties to a trust company for $1s,00O to equip and develop the property. The di- rectors of the company are said to have issued a circular to the sharehold- CTS requesting them to pay a certain assessment on their holdings to Equi- date the debts at the time the mort gage fell due. Some of the sharehold- CTS contributed their assessments, oth- CTS failing or refusing to pay theirs.
 Subsequently the mortgage was fore closed and the property sold at sher, iff's sale. Representatives of the di- rectors of the company, it is said, pur. chased the property. After the sale the directors are accused of issuing another circular to the shareholders who contributed towards the liquida

YUMA COUNTY HAS
 THUMB BUTTE CLAIMS

YUMA, Feb. 9.-The owners and directors of the Thumb Butte mines are more than well satisfied with their property as the shaft goes down. With in a few days the directors and of- ficers will pay visit to the mine and will determine just when they will put in their new mill and cyanide plant. The owners of the property are all local men and they constitute both the officers and directors of the com pany. They are J. P. Moffatt, presi- dent; A. B. Ming, secretary, and Gus Livingston, J. L. Lee and P. O. Spit tier.
 The Thumb Butte property consists of twenty-eight claims, all adjoining. The main shaft is down to BIO feet. At the 2OO-foot level drift or cross cut has been run 90 feet and drifting is now being done at the 300-fOOt lev el. The main shaft and all of the drifts are in good ore. The average gold values on all the work now done is $17.OO and the average values of gold, silver and copper total $3s.OO. The main shaft carries high gold val ues, while the drifts run into higher copper values.
 On Wednesday afternoon E. Pierson and Mike Welter, timbermen, left for the mine to put in some necessary tim boring. The main shaft has developed several barrels of water per day and an abundance of water for all pur- poses is near at hand. The company also has on their land an abundance of wood for all purposes except timber ing.
 The Thumb Butte property was re- gently visited by machinery men from Denver, who gave the property very close inspection and decided that the proper treatment for the ores would be by milling and eyaniding. This process would only save the gold val ues; the tailings, which will run rich in silver and copper, will have to be smelted at later date. The Denver parties agreed to install all of the ma ehinery at their own expense and to receive 40 per cent of the cleanup each month until they were paid. No bet ter evidence of the permanent value of the mine could be mad than this confidence on the part of the machin- cry and mill men.
 The Thumb Butte is no longer a prospect, but a mine. There IS ore on the dump and in sight to make it a very valuable property. As soon as the necessary machinery can be in- stalled it will take its place with the King of Ariozna and the North Star as really great mining properties.
 The directors of the company when the make their trip out to the mine within the next week or two will defn- itery determine as to the putting in of the mill and cyanide plant. Parties who desire to visit the mine should see MT. Ming at the Plantation saloon. The trip out can be made from Dome practically without expense to parties wishing to go out, the company having made arrangements to that effect. | p Noffatt. the president of the company, is at the mine now, direct ing the work. He was the original locator of the property. A crew of five men with air drills and two gaso- lene engines for power are kept regu- larly at work and the development is kept going on continuously.

GIVE THE HORSE A CHANCE.

Farm Journal.
A farmer, blowing with three horses
hitchcd abreast noticed that the mid
die horse became tired aud exhausted
long before either OF his mates. As
the animal Was the equal iu every way
Of the other two. he was puzzled as
10 tho cause OF his horses not being
able 10 stand the same amount OF
work. He finally observed. however.
that as they drew the pillow along the
three horses held their noses close to-
gether, with the result that the middle
horse was compelled 10 breathe the ex-
pired air from Its fellows. The farmer
then procured n long Jockey" stick.
which he fastened with straps to the
bits OF the outside horses The device
worked perfectly: for given his right
ful share Of good, fresh air. the middle
horse was able to do the same amount
Of work. and with no greater fatigue
than his fellows. Many persons are
like the middle horse: they do not get
their rlghtful share OF fresh, pure air.
and this Is why they are not able 10
perform as much work.
