IMPORTANT CASE
Involving Taxation of Ma.
tional Bank Stock Before
Judge Golf.

Charleston, w. Va, March 29.--
Three orders were issued by Judge
Nathan Con of the United Stat ~
circuit court OF Appeals restraining
ex-Sheriff John ]. Melton of Kama
wha county from collecting certain
assessments on the shareholders OF
the Charleston National bank aad
the Citizens National bank OF this
city. The order was issued In re-
spouse to petitions from tho r,ain-
tiffs for intunctions 20 prevent tho
ex-sheriff and his deputies froIa col
lecting these taxes. The he ings
will begin in this city on the first
Tuesday in June.
The act passed by the legislature
In 1907 re'ating to the assessment
Of shareholders in national banks
is attacked by the plaintiffs in their
bill as being contrary and rep .gnant
to the state and federal constitutions
This act OF 1907, they claim, requires
that all shares OF stock in national
banks be assessed at their true and
actual value and 1t is expressly pro-
vided that no deduction shall be al
lowed from the valuation Of such
shares on account of what IL due
another as principal, debtor or 9th
erwise. IL is this section of the act
that they claim is in oppo dt' - to
the state and federal cons.i htlons.
The supreme court of the state failed
to pass upon Hhe constitutionality of
the law when a similar case was
brought before it from Cabell county
this winter.

SUPPORT OF
HOME PAPER
Merchants Urged to Back
Local Advertising Me-
dunn to the Limit.

An appreciative view OF The home
newspaper is given in the Office Out
litter of Chicago, from which we
make the following extracts:
Many a town ism. worth a cent
because the local newspaper Is neg
lected. Many a good merchandising
center Is dead because the men in
business treat the editor OF the nsw--
paper as an object OF charity. This
is wrong. The local paper is the
greatest thing in the community. 1t
should be supported. 1t should b ,
read and patronized. The merchants
who think they are clever and omar.
when they slip one over on the To-
cal newspaper makes a big mistake.
Every dollar you take away from the
local newspaper In schemes and
knocks hurts the town. It hurts bus
mess, and, most of all, 1t hurts tho
merchants who indulge in 1t.
Whatever csc you merchants do
patronize your home newspaper.
Don't tel me that 1t has a small cir
culation. Don't tell me that you
reach ten times as many people with
less expense using circulars. Don !:

ANOTHER FREAK STORY

Randsburg, Cal, July 15.-The water

tered SHOWS of the Owens valley coun-
try will wind through strata of golt.
Part of the aqueduct is found to be
heavy with auriferous veins, and in a
number of cases pockets of gold have
been taken away. Some parts of the
construction works laborers actually
fight for, because of the chance OF
striking a pocket. From one stretch
of the excavation, less than IL feet
long, samples of high-grade ore were
taken, which, in some instances show
assays of 5000. The aqueduct VIII

there has since been spent about $4,000
of this amount, leaving $4,000 in

shipped any ore for the past three
months, and it has been throwing ev-

The Bellehelen district to the east
of Tonopah, is a district which mas
been recognized as richly m~ineralized,
and on a good many properties rich
veins and stringers of ore have been
opned up, which paid the operators to
haul a few sackfulls. In the main,
however, the ore has been too lean to
haul fifty miles by team. In hopes OF
future milling facilities close at hand,
or better transportation facilities,
most of the "old timers in the Belle
helen district have held onto their
claims, Going assessment work and a
little development work occasionally.
1t now appears that this district is
to AXE on real mining life. There is
hardly a doubt that the new Ely-Goid
field railway will either cut through
or come within a very few miles Of
the Bellehelen country, and with this
road, there is a vast tonnage OF ore
that can be shipped at a big profit.
In fact, one of the officers of the
Tonopah 4 Tidewater railroad is very
materially interested in this section,
and as he is a man of much authority
in affairs Of the road, this seems to
"cinch" the railroad for or close to
the district.
That the district contains lodges of
pay ore is being proven more and more
every week, and several companies are

is BEING

actively engaged in opening up the
district. Everywhere where earnest
work has been lone the results are
very satisfactory, and several good
bodies of milling ore have been en-
countered, together with streaks car
rying very high-grade values. One of
the companies which has been carry
ing on steady development work IN
that section is the Sciota Nevada, and
the showing is such as to warrant the
ordering of a hoist and other maehln-
cry, in order to carry on operations on
a much larger scale. The order for
this necessary machinery has been
placed, and the company is in hopes OF
having the same installed before the
middle of August. The Lavender
brothers, who have charge of opera
lions on the %company's property, pass
ed through here this week n route to
Los Angeles to attend the Elks' fessiv-
titles. Both gentlemen stated that the
Bellehelen district is showing up bet
ter as work progresses, and predict big
things for that entire section when the
new railroad, which is surveyed to
pass through the district, is com
lpleted.

ELY CENTRAL TO SINK
IN FAVORABLE GROUND

President Turner of the Ely Central
company has announced that
will be broken within a few
DAYS for a working shaft on the Eureka
Fraction No. /, at a point about 600
feet east of the southern end of the
steam shovel pit of the Nevada Con
solidated, says the Ely Expositor. The
best ore SO far encountered in the pit
is now being mined within $50 feet OF
the site of the proposed shaft on the
Eureka Fraction No. l, and it is the
intention of the Nevada Consolidated
to extend it's steam shovel operations
to the east without interruption until
it reaches the Ely Central line. The
~overburden on the east side of the pit
is only about 60 feet thick, while on
the west it varies from 80 to 12O feet.
Mr.. Turner calculates that the new
shaft will encounter the ore body at a
depth of not more than 200 feet.
Meanwhile, satisfactory progress is
being made with the Keystone drill in
operation near the enter of the Clip
per group, about 2000 feet northwest of
the entrance to the steam shovel pit of
the Nevada Consolidated. Good values
were encountered at the 390-foot point,
where a cave occurred Monday, and a
new hole was started on the west side
line of the Clipper No. 2, within a few
feet of the Puritan claim of the Gun
berland Ely.

Especial Correspondence

Austin, New, July 15.-With two
engines and a full trainload of freight,
the Nevada Central railroad made "A
special effort to meet the local clamor
for freight deliveries today, and this
is the third special freight into Austin
in the last ten days.
Today's full trainload of material
was all for the Austin Manhattan COM
pany, which has been receiving heavy
shipments for the past month. The
twelve carloads consists of mining ma
c%hinery and timber. 1t is the biggest
single shipment that has been made
over the Nevada Central in years and
is by far the largest consignment Of
mining material received i'll Austin
within a decade, not excepting the
days of the great Manhattan boom.
Former Arrivals.
The 6O-horse power hoist for the
Austin Manhattan company arrived
last Tuesday and will have to wait but
a short time before it can be installed
at the big station at the junction of
the Frost shaft and the tunnel. 1t is a
double drum reversible hoist and will
do rapid work at this point of greatest
Importance in this district.
The surveys that have been made Of
the old workings show that within 1o(
to $50 feet, this shaft below the TUNE.
will cut two or more high grade veins
one of which is the famous Panamint
which has yielded so much bullion il

were slow in moving and the deputies
fred on them. Pezini may die but
