CALENDAR IN
DISTRICT COURT
NEARLY CLEAN
JUDGE AVERILL MAKES RE.
MARKABLE RECORD DURING
TERM IN OFFICE.

When Judge Mark r. Averill as
sumed the duties of district Judge
little over year ago, he was
greeted with a mass of unfinished
work that would have made many
people think twice before accept
ing the position.
There were cases on the calendar
that had been there for several
years and it looked like a super
human task would have to result
before things could be straight
ened out. The Judge started in
with will and before many days
was holding sessions at night. In
fact court was in session nearly
every night and the different at
torneys who had cases on the cal
endar were told to get a hustle
on and prepare for the hearings.
With the judge working about
eighteen hours day and the diff
ferent attaches kept busy about
the same amount of time, the cases
began to disappear and yesterday,
following the rendering of several
decisions, but two undecided mat
tiers remain.
These are the Knock case and
the Duckwater suit. The former
case, which is motion for new
trial, was submitted on April 4.
while the Duckwater suit was SUBJ
mitted on May 9, on final brief by
Attorney P. e. Keller.
There are also two other cases
before the court, which have not
been finally submitted. One is the
First National bank of Goldfield
versus Nye county, which was de-
layed by the recent illness of AS
sistant District Attorney Jack H.
Morris, and the other is the suit
of the Fairview Round Mountain
Mining company versus the Round
Mountain Hydraulic Mining COM
pany, contempt proceeding against
the superintendent of the first
named corporation, which has not
reached the final stage.
Several of the late. decisions
rendered were in cases that were
filed during the time that Judge
J. P. O'Brien was on the bench
and which were inherited by Judge
Averill.

comet HAD A
SERIOUS EFFECT
ON FAIRY QUEEN
AWFUL CALAMITY is AVERTED.
BUT SUSPENSE WAS NERVE
WRECKING.

All fairyland comes through the
tail or the comet without incident
or accident with the exception of
her fairy majesty, the queen, who
meets with a great and irreparable
loss. 1t has saddened the entire
community of fairies and it is
only by dint of the great courage
displayed by her royal highness
that distressing results have been
avoided.
1t occurred in this wise: Some
days ago the part of the queen
was offered to the little miss who
has filed the role most admira-
bly, up to the present time. She
was told emphatically that if she
did not speak distinctly she would
have to give the part up. She
flew to her mother and asked in
anxiety:
When will the show be, nam
MAJ" Her mother replied that the
date had nothing to do with her
speaking plainly.
Yes it does,'' came the reply.
Pulling down the lower lip and
placing her tongue behind one of
the lower front teeth she gave it
an alarming rocking. Evidently the
tooth was all but out.
IF I lose that tooth I can't
speak good" All present agreed
and the race with time and a loose
baby tooth and the presentation
of the fairyland cantata began. Ev-
erything went well until the tail of
Halley's comet was encountered.
This overhead disturbance and the
pressure of royal dignity in ad-
dition proved too much; the baby
tooth succumbed and the queen ap-
peared at rehearsal anxious and
nervous and without the all i'm
portant tooth.
CONSERVATION prevailed and it
was not until it was proven that
things were not altogether hopeless
that her majesty and her subjects
we're treasured.
If they do not receive unexpected
back action work from the comet
the matter will be safely adjusted
by Saturday night and fairyland
will be given in grand opera style
at the Nevada theater.

RETURNS SHOW
LARGE INCREASE IN
ORE EXTRACTED
QUARTERLY REPORT OF Bull
LION TAX COLLECTIONS
MADE PUBLIC.

The sheriffs Office yesterday
turned over to County Auditor and
Recorder Puddy Grimes the quar-
terly report of the state bullion
tax collections as made by the first
named official. The report, which
will be sent on the state comptrol-
Ter, is highly gratifying and shows
that the activity in the different
mining camps in this county con-
tinues undated
The report is for the quarter
ending March 31st, and shows that
the sum of s5,22S.57 was paid over
as the tax on the bullion. The
total number of tons extracted by
the different mines in Tonopah
Manhattan, Round Mountain and
Rhyolite, amounts to SS,140 tons
on which was received a net value
on which the tax was levied,
amounting to $159,643.45.
Not a mine in Tonopah, and the
entire county as well, was operated
at loss during the quarter, and
every one paid bullion tax. AS
is usual the largest amount was
paid by the Tonopah Mining COM
pany, while the Belmont was next
in line. AS a comparison to the
last quarterly report, there were
more than 6,424 tons of ore mined
for the first three months of 1903.
A greater part of this came from
the Tonopah Extension, which only
resumed operations last January.

JUDGE AVERILL
HANDS DOWN A
FEW DECISIONS
CARLSON MINING AND MILLING
CASES ARE FINALLY SET
tiled.

Judge Mark R. Averill yesterday
handed down several decisions in
cases he had under advisement for
some time and now the docket is
nearly clean.
In the lien case of Gilbert Ray
burn versus the Carlson Mining and
Milling company of Golden Arrow,
and others, among them being the
Lathrop Davis company and Law
renee Ponti, judgment was award
ed to Rayburn, who sued for wages
for the amount of $37O.5S. Ponti
receives 1915. The claims of Ray
burn and Ponti were established as
superior to all others The Lathrop
Davis Mortgage was ordered
foreclosed for the amount demand
ed. Gus Carlson was given iudg-
ment for the amount of his claim,
which was $2,245, which is sub
ordinate to all other claims.
In the matter of Rose versus
Harris, judgment was awarded the
defendant for about $500. This
was the outcome of the Runnels
business which at one time includ-
ed the Mizpah Mercantile company
apd the Crystal Soda Water COM
pany.
ruling was made on the de-
murrer and motion to strike out
portions of the amended complaint
in the case of John F. Davidson
versus the Round Mountain Mining
company. The demurrer was over
ruled and the motion to strike out
part of the unimportant sections
in the complaint granted.
