the position that if the injunction were
to be continued in effect, the defend
ants would have no recourse, should
they ultimately win their case, except
to secure damages in the amount of
the bond furnished by the plaintiff.
For this reason he contended that the
$25, 900 bond which had been filed by
the plaintiff was wholly insufficient
considering the great value of the
ground which the defendants were en-
joined from working, estimates of the
value of the ore in sight reaching as
high as 100000. During his argu'
ment on the point of the insufficiency
of the bond Judge Massey claimed
that there was no authority Of law
for the court to extend a mining lease
to cover the period during which It
might be closed down by litigation. He
commended that the Stall brothers
lease might expire during the time the
injunction against them was in force
and though their lease should be ~
timately declared valid the court could
not extend it and they would have no
recourse except to secure damages in
the amount of the bond filed by the
plaintiffs.
Judge Orr stated that this point was
so important that he would require
the respective attorneys to submit
briefs in the matter of the application
to have the bond increased, fifteen
days in all being allotted for the prep
aration and fling of the briefs. In the
bond would stand at 5000.

tracing attention. Parties from the
east and west have lately been here
looking the situation over with q view

has been known to be one of the larg-

Heretofore the borax mines in Death

GOLDFlELD COAL RATES
REMAIN AT TOP NOTCH

entering Goldfeld agree with zach 9TH
err on the prices that are to be charged
shippers.
"And if we did reduce the o q
rates." said another official, "there
would be no difference to the consumer
in the price of his coal"
So it seems that the matter is up to
the coal dealers, after ali, and that the
matter of freight rates doesn't have
everything to do with the prices to the
consumer, despite the constant cry that
Goldfeld prices are high on account of
the high freight rates.
The Reno situation.
Word has just been received by the
local Office of the Southern Poetic
company from headquarters, that the
tariff on coal into Reno will be re-
duced 65 cents per ton, effective on
December 22d.
This in conformance to an agree
ment arrived at last summer when
General Freight Agent Reeves was in
the city and conferred with the Reno
Commercial club and the local dealers
in fuel, at a meeting held at the Com
mercial club. The railroad agreed to
reduce the tariff on coal 81, providing
the local dealers would make a SINH
lar reduction in their price per ton to
the consumers.
In August the railroad reduced the
price 35 cents and now comes the an
nouncement of a second reduction OF
65 cents, completing the full amount
of 81 reduction decided upon. 1t now
remains to be seen whether or not the
dealers will give their customers the
benefit of the reduction under which
understanding the railroad has taken
this action.

level. 1t was expected that the lower
tunnel would be driven the entire dis
lance to the assure through country
rock, but for the last forty or rfty
feet the limestone has been spotted
with galena, and the entire face is
highly mineralized. The indications
are all for finding the big ore bodies
as strong at the lower level as they
were above.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-12-04

The Southern Pacific railway is de-
livering coal at Reno at materially re.
duced rates, and on the 22d of De
cember the freight cut on coal at that
point will amount to 81 per ton. The
railroad put this cut into effect provid-
ing the Reno dealers would give the
consumers the benefit of the cut. The
Reno Gazette tells Of the cut, and lays
the charge that the price Of coal has
not been reduced to the consumer.
Goldield is in the same box as Reno
regarding fuel prices. Heretofore the
local dealers have said that there was
a shortage of fuel, etc., and gave this
as an excuse for high prices. This
year there is no shortage in the coal
supply, and yet the prices are the same
as last year-$14 to $3.50 per ton for
coal, according to the grade. The
northern roads are bringing in coal
about as fast as it is needed, and the
Salt Lake road is bringing in coal up
on demand, making the exceptionally
fast time of two days from Salt Lake
City to Goldfeld. The freight rate per
ton from Utah and Wyoming points is
SO per ton.
Local railroad men, when asked as
to the cut on coal freight to Reno,
state: ooh, that IS merely local for the
Reno section, on account of Western
Pacific competition, and does not APP
ply to Goldield at ALL"
That Freight Understanding"
"Why, one road could not bring coal
into Goldfeld at 'cut' rates unless tbs
other roads agreed to it, said one
local railway official. He did not ex-
plain just why this was the case, blu!
left the inference that the three roads

Thanksgiving, is soon to become the
scene of active operations. 1t is under
stood, from a reliable source, that work
will be resumed on the property by
New York capitalists, who will make
it their effort to develop a paying mine
at the Breyfogle. The shaft is down
227 feet, and a crosscut out 14O feet
from that depth has shown up a ledge
three feet wide, from which an aver
age assay of $15 per ton has been Sc
cured.
The Manhattan Thanksgiving Mining
company, which own one of the best
properties in the camp and which was
temporarily closed down on account of
lack of funds, has had it's treasury re-
embursed and has again started work.
Sinking has been resumed and the shaft
is down to a depth of 365 feet. Presi-
dent G. T. Stanley has worked inces-
sanity in the interest of the Thanks
giving and now he can be seen every
day going to and from the mine, where
he works with the miners, n is assist
ing in the development of the property.
Mr.. Stanley has every faith in the
world in the Thanksgiving and those
who have inspected the mine are of the
same opinion. A day shift of six men
and a night shift of four men are en-
ployed at the mine. w. Fl. Mott is in
charge of the work.
