SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The supreme court of Nevada
has Just handed down decision in
which certain of the involved Sec
tons of the Kendall wildcat law
are clearly interpreted. The espec-
ial feature of the. decision has ref
erence to and clearly sets forth the
opinion Of the court as to section
I6. This section relates the neces-
sity of stamping as Promotion or
Treasury" those certificates issued
In lieu of others sent in for trans
fer, and relieves the companies thus
transferring from the necessity Of
so stamping such certificates II
was clearly the intent of the trainers
Of the law to have it apply only
to such certificates as were orig
inally issued by the companies
themselves, and for which the com.
panies received the proceeds.
This matter was taken up to the
court on the complaint of r. c.
Moore, against the Manhattan-Ver
de company. Moore presented Ger
tain certificates to the Verde com
pany for transfer and demanded thai
they be stamped in accordance with
the provisions of the wildcat" law
The company refused to so STAMP
them, taking the position that they
were not required under the law to
| stamp transfers.
This Interpretation is strictly in
accord with a common sense view
Of the case. Had 1t been held 9th
erwise, then every certificate present
ed for transfer to q company not
selling any stock and even thougl
such company was dividend payer
and had not sold any stock for q
term Of years, must have been trac
cd to Its original issue and stamped
title according to what that chair
Of title showed ii to be, that is
either promotion or treasury stock.

ion as Reno. This place is named
as the distributing point for what
is termed the eastern zone of the
state. The class rates from eastern
points to Winnemucca are, as they
should be, materially lower than they
are In Reno and the latter place will
become only distributing point
for the territory Immediately sur
rounding it.
Winnemucca will be distribut-
ing point for territory vastly great
er and richer than that which
surrounds Reno. Winnemucca has
two trancontinental railroads, while
Reno has only one, making the place
the natural point for the establish
ment Of big jobbing houses for the
distribution of goods within a great
radius east, north, west and south.
With the establishment of more
reasonable freight rates, with the
outlook promising for future further
reductions, the opportunity is now
presented for Winnemucca to become
the chief commercial city of the
state. This opportunity should not

NEW ERA ron MINING.

Comparative lack Of interest in Ne
vade mining investments is due to
two oansess .Unbusiness-like and dis

unproven ground.
The former of these causes has
been almost entirely eliminated in
this state by legislative action. says
the Reno Gazette.

possible to h00dwink the public and

It was a difficult task to drive
the wild-catters from the state, but
they have flown and few Of them car
ried away their unearned increment.
Expensive living and the fever to
speculate In even their own flota-
tons caused the downfall OF a major

This condition originated at Tonopah

the heavy losses thus caused were
due less to wild-catting than to the
fact that the overflow in the Tonopat

Of the permanent formation.

enough Spanish and Mexican and In
dian, a curious combination of the
three languages, to make himself able
to converse with any one he might
meet on the trail around the mis-
sion of San Francisco Solano at the
town of Sonoma He selected Spanish
and Mexican words to address to the
officer.
Are you a general" he asked first.
The lad had often seen General VAL
lejo riding about the valley and was
sure that the young officer. even though
he was young, must have a higher rank
even than benign General Vallejo, for
the latter had no body of troopers with
him.
The young officer laughed at the idea
of being a general. But he did not
intend that the "gringo" boy should
know that he had oyerestimated the
rank he held.
Yes" he shouted, 81 am a general,
and / eat little boys who have white
Yankee hair"
you're fierce" replied Lucian, for
since the officer laughed he was not
to be greatly feared.
81 won't eat you now" said the Mex
lean soldier. But just wait Wait
until General Castro and Governor Pico
catch you aud your father and all you
Yankee people. You will be put out
of California. This belongs to Mexico.
See those horses? General Castro will
put troopers on them, cavalry. Then
we shall ride up here and kill all the
Americans, all the Yankees, the gringos,
the pigs we can find" The young Of
ficer swore desperately. I'VE made a
mistake. We did not think that the
Americans would come into this coun-
try, into buena California, but they
have come. No more will come. Gen
eral Castro is awaiting them at the
Mission Santa Clara. l will join him,
and then we shall start north and drive

must go. Tell that to your father"
The young horseman cut his horse
with his jingling silver spurs and it
plunged into the stream leading the
way for the rest of the band.
In midstream the soldier reined up
his noble black steed and turned again
toward Lucan and Pedro. ......
81 am Lieutenant Francisco Arce of
General Castro's staff" he shouted

to get out. to get out Of California
and never to come back. We will
fight, fight, fight, until every drop of
our blood ls gone before we will let
you Yankees have our country. Tell
that to Captain Fremont with the COM
pliments of Lieutenant. Francisco Arce."
Then Lieutenant Francisco Arce and
his little band of horsemen and 200
horses rode toward the east, leaving
Lucian and Pedro on the bank Of the
stream and Rose still hidden in the
thicket of willows, wondering what
bold words the horseman was utter
ing, he was talking so loud.
After the last horse had crossed the
ford and the troop had made its way
off beyond a knoll Luclan called to
Rose, to come out from her hiding
place.
She wanted to see the soldiers her
self, and close at hand, but she did
not complain because Lucian had told
her to remain under cover. They were
then living in a wild country and Rose
had been warned that above all things
she must obey her brother Why, he
was 2 years older than she and she
was only IL.
The two little Yankee children ran
home with all their might over the
meadows to their abode, while Pedro
trudged along to the place where his
Mexican people lived. Lucian was
dripping when they reached the house,
for he had not dried himself after the
Boston tea party game. But that did
not disturb him. He started to tell
his mother the wonderful story of the
soSdiers he had seen.
Mrs. Elliott knew far better than
Lucian did of the hateful feeling which
the Mexicans and Spaniards had for
the people from "the states"
She did not hear all of his first
breathless recital, but grasped his
repetition of Lieutenant Francisco
Arce's last words, 1--WE will fight until
every drop of our blood is gone before
we will let you Yankees have our
country"
She made the dry shirted Lucian
repeat the entire story and as he talked
she held him and Rose closer and closer
against her knee.
1--WE have come here. darlings, with
no bad idea" she said your father
