MAY Change ROUTE
OF wELY.GOLDFIELD

The Tonopah Sun says: According
to information received by the Sun the
refusal of the Ely city council to grant
a franchise to the proposed Ely-Gold-
field railway, will have one effect not
expected, but much desired by changing
the route from Typo east. 1t is be-
lieved that as a result of that action
the route will be by way of Sand creek
and much further north than the route
that was decided upon.
Just how the mere refusal of a
franchise would cause a change OF
route is not easily explained, but it is
stated that the Thompson interests in
the line nave dictated the other route
in order to pass through a townsite
held by the Thompson people, which
townsite is close to Ely and involves
the particular city route upon which
the franchise was asked. 1t was sup
posed, too, that the Thompson IN
fuences was sufficient to secure the
franchise as applied for, but that has
proven to be erroneous.
At any rate the influence of W. G.
Luckhart, assistant to Chief Engineer
the company, has been all along for
the company, has insisted all along Oh
the Sand creek route. He claims the
real tonnage of the railway would
be 200 miles shorter and that it would
be much easier and cheaper to con-
struct and operate.

WAREHOUSE GETS BACKING
IN D. MACKENZIE
,...;ned as Attorney By Wealthy Mining Nan VS.. the
Consolidated and Gets Aid in His Senatorial Campaign

ID. Mackenzie and company lease highly
successful.
Shortly after operations on these
leases ceased, the Consolidated, the
company owning the Mohawk ground,
on which they had been worked, com.
menced a suit against the Frances
Mohawk Mining and Leasing company
for 100000 damages, alleging that the
leasing company had violated the COW
nants of the contract between the par
ties and had, in it's haste to get greater
quantities of the rich ore out before
the date of the expiration of the lease,
mined the ground in unminerlike fash.
ION to the great damage of the parent
company's interests.
The case went to trial last summer
resulting in a verdict for $4,000 aud
costs in favor of the Consolidated.
Powers and Marioneaux, prominent at
torneys of Salt Lake, together with
Frank Hangs, of Goldfeld, were for the
~uefendant IN the action.
The case is now in the supreme court
on appeal.
Suit, at about the same time, was
brought by the Consolidated against
d. Mackenzie and company, operators
of the ID. Mackenzie lease on the Mo
hawk for $4,000. The grounds on
which the action was based were much
the same as in the suit against the
Frances. Mohawk.
This case is now awaiting trial
When these suits were brought, the
properties of the Mackenzie companies,
together with about 1925, 900 on deposit
in the John S. Cook bank, were levied
upon and held under attachment.
in turn, ID. Mackenzie and company
brought suit against the Consolidated
for 500 900, alleging that, as the re-
suit of these actions and attachments,
its business, then most lucrative, had
been damaged to that amount.
This action is also pending
Then the Consolidated instituted an
action against the Frances-Mohawk
Mining company for $1S0,000, alleging
that such amount should have been
paid it as royalty on $500, 900 worth of
ore, which, it alleged, was mined and
lever accounted for.
This suit is also yet to be heard.
At about this time the Goldfield .Ju
piter Mining company, the principal
~s5ockholder being D.. Mackenzie, insti
tuted an action against the Consolidat-
ed, alleging that the tailings from the
big mill of that company were accumu
lating on plaintiffs property to its
great detriment.
This suit, likewise, remains unset
tied.
There are also pending several suits
of minor Importance in which the same
litigants are involved.
Thus it will be plainly seen that D..
Mackenzie and the Consolidated peo-
Pile are not in love with one another.
Who knows, then, but what this in
tense a~ntipathy may ride Harry More
house on a high horse against the form
er president of the Consolidated next
fall.

The announcement has been made
:. Senator III. ". Morehouse, or rath-
..e firm of Thompson, Morehouse &c
romnson. has been engaged by ID.
-u..tepzie to fight the many legal bat
.rhich are scheduled to occur in the
..,,,e between the Frances-Mohawk
,Un;no and Leasing company and the
n Mackenzie company, ON the one side,
"a the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
,ompapy on the other. There are a null
,iolicity of damage suits yet undecid-
ne between the Mackenzie compa-
r;es and the Consolidated, involving
100 sums of money, hence the latest
Connection made by the well-known
,oeal law firm promises to be exceeding
:. lucrative. 1t is understood that the
retainer is large and the contract is IN
writing.
The retention of Thompson, More
bouse & Thompson in the capacity of
,aool advisers for d. Mackenzie is of
interest to the business community, but
% many it appears to bear a strong pc
litical significance, as well.
Harry Morehouse is an avowed can
didate for the nomination on the Re
publican ticket for United States sen
ator next fall. He has announced his in
tention of entering the lists in the prt-
mary election against Senator Nixon,
and such announcement has put the
keen edge on the situation, for 1t is
known that the eloquent and forceful
LAWYER will give the junior United
States senator form Nevada more
than a run for his money in a primary
election.
But the question has arisen: 'Where
would the Goldfeld man gain his back
ing?" and the question now seems an
swered: cd. Mackenzie, the rich client
of Morehouse, who is said to hold a
hatred for the Consolidated that is al
most im~placable7' Senator Nixon was
formerly the leader of the forces of the
Consolidated, and some contend that he
is still interested under cover.
Now the wise ones have it that when
D. Mackenzie and Harry Morehouse
met in Los Angeles recently, as 1T is
reported they did, they talked politics,
as well as business, and as a result
Morehouse is to have the backing of
Mackenzie for the senatorship. Of
course Morehouse does not admit this;
be is wise and discreet, but those close
to him have not denied the soft i'm
parchment and it is generally believed
by the knowing ones that such an al
lance has been made.
The controversies between the d..
Mackenzie companies and the Consoll-
dated was preeipitated shortly after the
Frances Mohawk and the ID. Mackenzie
leases on the Mohawk No. 2 and the
Slim Jim Fraction had expired, which
was in the early part of 1907. The
Frances-M ohawk lease, coupled with
the Hays-Monnette lease, made the
Goldfeld district famous the world
over, several millions being taken out
through those workings. Also was the

SEARCHLIGHT AND CHLORIDE
DISTRICTS BECOMING ACTIVE

SEARCHLIGHT, Jan 1.-Finding
that underhand stopping was both slow
and expensive, the leasers on the /. a.
L. will suspend steady milling Temporal
rily. They have been keeping the
searchlight mill busy and the ore on
hand will make up a few days more
running. Three shifts are employed on
the lower tunnel fastening the work so
that overhead stopping can be started.
Following the cleanup of the l.. X. l..
ore a run will be made of some so tons
from the Kirkeby and Gaines lease on
the Good Hope. This ore, it is esti-
mated, will average $40, but in this con-
n%ection it is hard to state, as the sam
pies show a wide divergency.
The Good Hope ore is very spotted.
One assay will run up in the thousands,
while the next but a few dollars. This
week a specimen, picked up by chance
on the dump, was literally plasterej
with the yellow metal.

Work Starts In o. K.

T. l.. Henderson completed his ex-
animation of the Q. X. property at Du-
pont and returned to Los Angeles on
Wednesday. 1t appears, contrary to
the general report, that the property
is owned exclusively by II. H. Kerck-
hoff of Los Angeles, a brother of the
millionaire lumberman. When the mine
was last operated many flattering sam
Piles were brought into Searchlight. The
work done, however, appears to have
been largely misdirected and the strong
vein, showing so finely on the surface,
has received little or no attention un-
der ground. Mr.. Henderson left a small
force employed and plans to pay a re-
turn visit at an early date, when the
extent of future operations will be an
nounced.

The second national apple show was
held In Spokane this year the latter
part Of November. Some idea of its
magnitude may be had from the fact
that the three floors Of the Washing
ton state armory, containing In all
100000 square feet, and a steam heat
ed tent 225 by 800 feet were requir-
ed to accommodate the exhibits. Prizes
aggregating $4,000 were offered, the
chief being $1,000 for the best ex-
hlbit in the carload class, which called
for $50 boxes, or 21O barrels, of one
or more standard varieties. Besides,
there were prizes for best box, bar
rel, pyramid, basket and plate dis
plays. Fruit from all the principal
apple growing sections was ON exhibit
ton, and the show was conceded to be
superior to that Of last year. The to-
tai number Of apples on exhibition was
placed at 100000.
