Mcpherson has handed down his de-
cision in the voting machine case, the
Security Trust Co., OF Rochester, N.

$18,6O3.

This will be done by County Attorney
kuhlemeier and Attorney w. E. Blake
within the next three months, and will
be the first step toward bringing the
matter up in the United States court

next December.
Attorney j. J. Seerley, who repre-
sented the Rochester bank, stated that
the decision was victory for the
plaintiff in every particular, and sub
stantiated just what was claimed fol
the machine.
''The decision is wrong, for with this
machine it is impossible to vote spill
ticket for presidential electors" Attor
ney Blake state. Therefore, the ma
chine does not comply with the lowe
| statute y

/ that the board of supervisors at the

 Work is progressing on the Nevada & Arizona Mining Company's group of mines in the Music Mountains. The tunnel on the North Star is now in 200 feet. By continuing this tunnel and running in on the vein 500 feet of backs can be obtained. Mcdonald and Ridenour have completed their con- tract on the Mohawk, the tunnel being in 175 feet. Superintendent Grant be- lieves that he has great property and is systematically developing it.
 Newton Evans, manager of the Evans Mining & Smelling Co.,, which has taken over the great McCracken properties, was in town the first of the week. He confirms the report pub lished in this paper that the company was preparing to open up this noted mine and that they had purchased the material of the narrow grade road from the river to Vivian. Mr. Evans informs us that it will be moved im- mediately and road constructed from McCracken to Bill Williams Fork, where shelter will be constructed This will mean general revival for the whole southern section of the county which has lain dormant since the closing down of the McCracken.
 A sale of the gadolinite mine, dis covered some time ago by the Aims Brothers, near their ranch south of Blackberry, Mohave County, is being negotiated. Gadolinite is one of the rare minerals. It is used principally in the manufacture of gas light man. tels. It is an orthombic black or green mineral, opaque or subtranslu- cent. It hardness is I; composition, silica, 25:80; yttria, 41:79; protoxide of cerium, 17:3S; protoxide of iron, 15:O3. Muter & Teale, who are arranging the sale, recently sold 800 pounds of the material for l000$. This was given as an introductory price, as the ore is quoted at more than double that value. This county abounds in minerals, prec- ious, rare and the baser metals. A few have been discovered, but it is quite probable that many valuable minerals are being run over by miners and prospectors every day, the discov- cry of which would bring wealth to the lucky finders.
