Ryan interests, according to Ben g.
Hite, mining editor of the Salt Lake
Telegram, who with Arthur C.. White,
former managing editor of the Salt
Lake Tribune, is visiting Ely to get
first-hand impressions of the camp and
the district.
Every one hears of the wonders Of
Ely. After personal inspection of a
small portion of the district / am in
clined to say, Wonderful, wonderful
Ely!' said Mr.. Hite.
1--WE came prepared to see a typical
western mining camp. We were sur
prised to see such a modernly con-
structed city. Our reception here has
been as royal as could have been ten

within a stones throw of Ely some
good deposits Of high grade ore will
be found. This company has an ideal
tunnel site and within a few feet from
the face of the present workings
should encounter a fine grade of ore.

"Senator Thomas Kearns is sched-

Upon his arrival a careful inspection
Of the Mcdonald Ely, and in fact, the
entire district will be made. My un
Outstanding is that arrangements are
to be made for the resumption Of op.
erations in this property on an exteu
sive scale. This will mean the employ
ment of a large force of men within
a short time.
"Ely has attracted a great many of
these people some Of whom have
reaped handsome profits from invest
ments made in Bingham, Utah, and
the older camps of Arizona and Mon
tana. Within the last sixty days a
number of experts have been sent from
Boston to inspect the properties of
Ely. A great many of these men have
been successful in researches in the
mineral fields of the world. They are
now going outside of the proven min
eral belt of this district. Within a
short period we will find that they will
recommend the opening up of portions
of the country that heretofore have
been unthought Of.

FORCLOS|NG ON
BLACK BUTTE

Suit has been filed in the district
court by the Registration Trust com.
pany, in behalf of l.. L. Patrick and
other creditors of the D~iamondfeld
Black Butte Consolidated Mining com
pany for judgments amounting to ap-
proximately $4,000, and when judg-
ment is secured the property is to be
bought in by the Registration Trust
company, in behalf of the creditors, and
plans for reorganization carried out as
quickly as possible. 1t is proposed to
organize the new company on a basis
of '$2,0O0,0 900 capitalization, the shares
to be a~ssessable, and shares in the old
company to be exchanged for the new,
share for share, but with an assessment
of one cent per share on the original ex-
change. After that time no assessment
of more than o~ne-fourth Of a cent per
share is to be levied during any quar-
terly period. 1t is believed tina. an
ample working capital can be provided
by means of the reorganization AMI the
assessment plan, and that eventually
a mill can be constructed at the mine
for the treatment of the large bodies of
milling ores that have been prove to
exist in the property.
The suit is brought to recover jrdg-
ment on two promissory notes, one
dated March /, 1909, for $9,653.3G, due
to the First National Bank of Goidfeld,
and another note for $6,637 20, due f.
NJ. Ish, and bearing date of May 3,
1909. Both notes have been transferred
to the Registration Trust company for
the purpose of bringing suit. 4. 7.
Patrick is attorney for the plaintiff,
and $500 attorneys fees are asked on
each note.

the position that if the injunction were
to be continued in effect. the defend.
ants would have no should
they ultimately win their case, exccp.
to secure damages in the amount of
the bond furnished by the plaintiff.
Fol this reason he contcnded that the
$4,000 bond which had been fled 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 insuficiency
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
contended that the Stall brothers
lease might expire during the time the
injunction against them was in force
and though their lease should be I'll.
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
a~ration and fling of the briefs. In the
bond would stand at 1926 900.

IMPORTANT FIND
IN old DISTRICT

LOvELOCK, New, Nov. 24.-Thst
the American Canyon mining district
Is destined to run with the many other
good camps in Humboldt county in tie
very near future Is evidenced by the
many good reports that are coming from
that section. Hardly a week passes
but what some good tidings from the
famous old district are brought to tow
of some new discovery.
X. s. Feige, who has just returned
from q short visit to the district, where
he had gone to inspect his interests,
reports a very substantial strike on
the Iron Hill group, owned by Louie
Bartelle. On this property, Mr.. Feige
states, an s0-foot crosscut tunnel has
been driven. Fifty feet of this dis
tance was run through ledge matter.
In driving the crosscut three fine ore
shoots have been disclosed, all Of
which allow gold in paying quantities.
These pay shoots vary in width Of
from three to five feet and are located
from six to ten feet apart. In some
instances free gold is found and taken
altogether the ore carries extraordi
narily high mill values. The crosscut
is being driven towards the hanging
wall side of the immense vein and rs
the work progresses the formation be.
comes better, the values more uniform
and the owner feels confident that as
soon as the tunnel is completed he will
be able to report something in q sen.
~sational line.
On the Silver King, which is owned
by Mr.. Feige, a four-foot vein Of sill
ver-gold ore has been opened up. The
values throughout the ledge averages
close to $50 in the two metals, with
silver predominating. Mr.. Feige
brought in some large specimens taken
from the bottom of the shaft ON his
property which are very rich, easily
~assaying 5000 per ton. As work pro-
crosses and depth is attained the val
ues show an increase.
The entire American Canyon district
presents a very active appearance and
considerable work is being done on the
various properties.

Examination of veniremen for the
trial of John Sheridan, charged with
the murder of his wife November S,
1905, was begun before Judge Somers
in the district court last Monday, and
is still in progress, but it is possible
that a jury will be secured by tonight.
The state is represented by District At
torney Tilden and Assistant District
Attorney Lechti, and the defense is be-
ing conducted by Pat McCarran OF
Reno and Col. T. Y. Eddy of Goldfeld.
The battle to ave Sheridan, through
the efforts of Pat McCarran and Colonel
Eddy, both able and forceful and elo-
quent attorneys will be hard fought,
and when the actual fight is reached it
will be as interesting doubtless as the
criminal jurisprudence of Nevada has
afforded. Pitted against these attor-
neys are the district attorney, Angus
tus Tilden, who, as a builder Of evil
dence, and in the matter Of systematic
ally presenting a case in argument to a
jury, is noted, and his assistant, Arnold
Liechti, he of the analytical mind. II
indeed promises to be an interesting
case.
Pat McCarren has the reputation OF
clearing Patsy Dwyer of a murder
charge, a most difficult case in which
the same plea was set up as in the cas-
now at bar here. Sheridan had fol
about 20 hours before the killing Of hi'
wife been on a champagne drunk, with

able absinthe to top Of with. His coun

Supreme Court Decision.
Upon the latest utterance of the SUI
preme court of Nevada upon the sub
ject of alcoholic insanity and crimes
committed under the influence of in
toxicants, the state will stand and ask
for a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. The words of the higher court in
this matter are as follows:
cit is a well settled rule of law that
drunkenness is no excuse for the COM
mission of a crime. Temporary in
sanity, produced by int~oxication does
not destroy responsibility, when the
party, when sane and responsible made
himself voluntarily intoxicated; ard
drunkenness forms no defense whatever
to the fact Of quiet, for, when a crime
is committed by a party while in a fit
Of intoxication, the law will not allow
him to avail himself Of his own gross
vice and misconduct to shelter himself
from the legal consequences OF such
crime. Evidence of drunkenness can on

purpose Of determining the degree Of
the crime, and, for his purpose, Il
must be received with great caution.
While the defense will Aght for &C

Considerable water has to be c~ontenop'

with pump and hosting apparatus
there is but little trouble in hand
