ANOTHER SUIT TO
TEST TOWNSHIP FEES

Upon the application of Edward C
Jennett, a Goldfeld property owner
in ~mandamus proceedings were insti
tuted this morning before Judge Som
ers to compel Judge Stevens, govern
ment TOWNSHIP trustee, to issue &C
plaintiff a deed to a lot filed on by
him upon the payment of the sun of
$3.50 instead of $3.50 as now required.
The alternative writ of %mandamus as
issued under the application directs the
defendant to appear in court at 2 p. IN.
on July 2 to show cause, if any, why
the command of the writ should not be
met.
Jennett asserts ownership to lot %
in block 103 of the Goldfeld townsite
and states in his application that he
has rendered to the defendant in pay
ment for a deed the sum of $3.50,
which ne declares, is the limit fixed by
statute as a charge for such deed. end
"HNt ~ oahlC WAS ltluStu ana the
sum of $3.50 demanded.
The proceeding promises to settle
within a brief time the question as to
what is a proper charge in the matter
OF the issuance of deeds from the gov
eminent to lots in the Goldfeld town.
site. The question was previously
raised in the suit filed by j. p. Camou
against Trustee Stevens ct al in which
the right to pay fees to General Dono.
van Tor services performed in behalf
w LOT claimants was challenged. The
'amou matter rests pending o decision
on a demurrer to the complaint.

/ velopment work has been continued
up to the present time, with a force
of about seventy men, and we have
developed some very nice bodies 81
or, which bodies seem to lie going
down, and we are now sinking tn.
shaft and running new drifts to block
out these bodies of ore.
"Our working shaft is now dow1
something over 700 feet.
At the 50O-foot level some watel
was encountered IN the vein, am
while the quantity was small 1T bo-
tarded the sinking to considerable ex
tent, and we were compelled to pur-
chase two pumps, and water pipe.
The pumps are operated by compresse l
air, but having, fortunately, purchased
a large air compressor. we have abund-
ance of air for both drills and pumps.
"Our development work since the
first of August, 1909, shows as follows:
Shaft, 152 feet; drifts, 2,s26 feet;
raises, 558 feet; wines, 6S feet. Total,
1904 feet.
core Extracted-Total, gross, 2,2l2
tons; gross value, $159,242.32 Charges
ON ore shipments-Smelter charges,
S26,sS6; railroad freight, $16.637.24
assaying, 1855; wagon haul $~7,13O.6l.
Total charges, $51, 00S.94. Total
mount paid for labor, ~$64,551.05.
1--WE now estimate that we have
blocked out in the mine about $780,
900 worth of ore, and should the
bodies of ore that we have opened
up continue going down as they have
in the past, and every Indication
shows that they viii 90 down, then
we can, in the next six months, dc
velop a great quantity of ore.
"At the present time we are mere.
ly extracting enough ore to pay the
cost of sinking and developing, as we
think with depth the bodies of ore are
larger, and we realize that a few huu-
dred feet of depth in the shaft metns
a large amount of money with the ore
bodies continuing.
"The general prospects at this time
are very favorable, and we now have
a very good operating plant. Our
present hoist should take US dowa
about 200 feet further, and we have
every confidence that we have a great
and lasting mine.
''rhis company has this year paid
two dividends amounting to $4,000,
and while the management cannot def
the outlook IS that the mine will pay
many more"

IN WILSON'S BONNET
President OF Princeton University
Would Accept Democratic Nomi-
nation for Governor.

Newark. n. j.. July I5.-President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton uni
versity announced today that he
would accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor Of this state II he
were convinced that a majority OF the
party desired him to run. In a state
ment published in the Newark News.
President Wilson thus defines his at
titude.
Il need not say that 1 am in no
sense a candidate for the nomination
and that 1 would not in any circum-
stances do anything to obtain it. Ny
presidential duties and responsible
ties are such as should satisfy any
man DESTROYS of rendering public
service. They certainly satisfy me.
and do not wish to draw away from
them.
But my wish does not constitute
my duty, and If it should turn out to
be true, as 50 many well-informed
persons have assured me they believe
II will. that il is the wish and hope of
a decided majority OF the thoughtful
Democrats of the state that I consent
to accept the party's nomination for
the great Office Of governor. I should
deem 1t my duty, as well as an honor
and q privilege. to do So"
